"Aland asked me to keep quiet. But it was clear enough for me to keep my voice and open."
Meggie's opening in the centre of court. She, who was present at Jill's trial for many of the charges, volunteered as one witness to the cruelty she had encountered.Will Smith, as Aland's lawyer, couldn't help but present a fresh case for Jill's trial."Last night, I went to Aland who had been savagely attacked by Arthur, which turned out to be a plan by Jill and Arthur together. They had planned to cause a scene, providing an opportunity for the others to escape quickly. This time, they targeted someone's banking account. Mrs Fischer was the first one the suspects encountered. However, she managed to escape when the victim grabbed the suspect with a rope. Unfortunately, the victim became the suspect's rampage because he didn't get what he wanted. It took more than two hours and at least twenty-eight stitches on the victim's shoulder to recover. Besides the assault, a deliberate es

"Is she getting crazy? How could she come here just to accompany Arthur to prison? After all, everyone knows Arthur will be imprisoned in the city! The charges are just because of the problems there! Then why did she come all the way here just to show her high sympathies? How disgusting! Isn't she even ashamed of his behaviour in front of Arthur's wife?"Jill's muttering didn't end when she had just entered the detention centre in the same clothes without any cellmates to avoid the same persecution. From not far away, Camellia, who was accompanied by three other prisoners, could only remain silent.Lia did feel hurt. Especially when she knew Arthur had implicated his love for Dwyane. She glanced at Jill, who was still pacing back and forth inside the detention centre while biting her thumbnail in anxiety.Camellia closes her eyes. She remembered very well the results of the examination before Jill was put in the cell alone. Although the mental examination of Jill would b

"You're not embarrassed to meet me here?"The question from Arthur, who had just sat down at the back of the glass-fronted room, made Dwyane snigger. She shook her head slowly because she knew very well that visiting someone was not a mistake."I'm here because I want to talk with you. I didn't want to do anything wrong. So why should I be ashamed of people who won't even care what I'm doing?"Arthur paused. He looked up at Dwyane with blue eyes. He smiled before he shook his head slowly."Listen to me, Dwyane. You know, I'm not a good man. I mean, I'm not the Arthur you used to know. I've changed.""I know," Dwyane interrupted. Her hand was pressed against the glass, as if she was holding Arthur's hand from the outside. "I know. You're a good man who's lost. You're just lost. So just accept your current punishment and don't do anything until the court gives you another directive. You know that well, don't you?"Arthur shook his head once more time. His smile

"A letter? From who? I never even put a letter in there. Maybe Shannon."Pete's voicemail reply made Aland chuckle softly. He opened the handwritten letter messily. Before he finally sat down and swallowed hard.His shoulders still ached like crazy as he quickly placed the letter on the table, leaving the house after grabbing the jacket he couldn't wear without help. He grabbed the car keys before finally driving off, wandering into a fairly quiet street.It only took a moment for Aland to get there, to the prison, where Arthur would serve the rest of his life sentence. He let out a long sigh as he convinced himself that he had done his best for many things.Without hesitation, Aland entered the prison, and sat down in the waiting room to get a visitation time. Luckily, the queue wasn't long enough for him to enter after an hour's wait.Who would have thought that the newly arrived Arthur would immediately sit down and demand answers? Although he didn't speak, hi

"Both of you two came all the way here just to ask about my relationship with Arthur? Do you wanna pulling my leg, huh?"Aland and Shannon's questions were repeated by Jill behind the glass partition. She, who often started fights with original prisoners every day, couldn't help but get into an isolated prison in the underground section. An individual prison designed specifically for cold-blooded killers who often took out large numbers of people at random.Jill squinted softly when she realised the file she had been hiding was discovered by her disobedient son-in-law and stepdaughter. Her hands clasped together before letting out a soft chuckle."I didn't know you could find that place so easily. It's been twenty years, and you messed everything up. It's not fair, Cobb."Aland was about to rise from his seat, but was stopped by Shannon with a shake of her head. Aland nodded his head to reassure Shannon that he would be okay.Still filled with doubt, Shannon rele

"Sophie? You're trying to defame our orphanage just because of Sophie's case? Do you also want to examine all the children in this orphanage so that you can be satisfied with your judgement, Mr Fischer?"Aland turned to Shannon briefly before leaning forward, trying to calm him down. "Listen to me, Mr Flitch. This is not what you think it is. We're not here to make a statement or to judge your orphanage as bad, no. I'm just here because there's something wrong. I'm only here because there's something I wanna to know. About Sophie. That's all. We will never tell anyone that Sophie is from here. After all, the whole of the UK knows that Sophie's dangerous behaviour is not the result of someone's upbringing, but her disposition, which may never change even twenty years later. We're just looking into her bloodline. That's all."Dom Flitch squinted with an angry gaze. His previously cupped hands immediately came closer, watching Aland and Shannon's movements that seemed so d

"What did you say? Sorry, but can you say it again?"Shannon's request was not without reason. For the first time, she sat in Will Smith's room with Pete and her husband to explain everything.Aland closed his eyes and smiled faintly. His hands were intertwined with each other in a position in the middle of her legs."I'm not misspeaking, Shannon. This is the truth. Until a few moments ago, only Pete and I knew about this."Will Smith didn't understand. He, who had been staring out the window while listening to Aland's explanation, could only turn around and shake his head slowly."If Arthur is not James's son, why does James insist on claiming him?""Because he just lost his son, Mr Smith. Don't you remember that his scandal broke just as he was about to celebrate JF Groups' anniversary? James couldn't just ignore Arthur's arrival with Liliana. He didn't want to act rashly, either. He asked me to keep the fact that Arthur was abandoned by Eugene a secret bec

"Since when did you become so talkative, Cobb?"Jill's counterattack made Aland pause. He looked at Jill, who grabbed a plastic chair to sit across from him."How can I help you with coming all the way out here?"Aland glanced at Shannon for a moment, trying to make sure that his wife was fully prepared. He looked again at his mother-in-law, whose new identity had been stripped away, leaving nothing of her once admired name."There's something I want to do about the key you gave me. Liliana's death."Jill did not seem surprised at how quickly Aland had learnt the truth with just one keyword."You found it?"Aland showed her an old photo of Sophie and Liliana that he had copied from an old file at the orphanage. Even though it wasn't clear, Jill could still recognise who was in the picture."This is you and Liliana. You two are sisters, aren't you?"Seeing that Aland was not surprised by what she had found, Jill got up and approached. Her eyes squi

"Go away, Cobb! Get out of here or I'll kill you right now!"Aland sniggered and moved off, leaving Jill filled with intense guilt."You're just bragging! Arthur is my nephew! He is everything to me! And you can't touch him! He's mine! Don't ever come back or I'll kill you right here!"The clock had already struck three in the afternoon when Aland and Shannon sat across from Dwyane Hills. He knew very well that Dwyane continued to visit Arthur, no matter what. Every day. For more than nine days."I'm sorry if I've upset you, Mr Fischer," Dwyane greeted, having just spoken after ten minutes of apparent silence.Aland cleared his throat, then took a sip of his coffee while shaking his head slowly."What do you have to apologise for? There's nothing wrong with you going there, Ms Hills. I just don't like that you went there with information you shouldn't have given."Suddenly, Dwyane's eyes widened. Her hands immediately folded on the table, and tried to rea
