Earlier in the week, following Edward's request, the court had finalized the arrangements for today's hearing.Since Caleb was charged with the murder of Li Zhenyu, the murders of Camila's parents, and everything that had happened to Camila, while Ethan was charged with the rape of Camila, the court agreed to hear both cases during the same proceedings.To Edward, Adriana's family deserved justice just as much as his own parents did. Serving them with lawsuits wasn't enough. He wanted Caleb and Ethan to answer for their crimes, and he wanted the full weight of the law to fall on them as soon as possible. That was why everything had been arranged this way, with both cases brought before the court together.After the court clerk announced both cases and read out the charges in a clear, ringing voice, Caleb was called to the witness stand for questioning by one of Edward's lawyers."Mr. Caleb, did you ever have any dealings with Li Zhenyu before his death?" the lawyer asked, his tone cal

Adriana, who had remained silent throughout the entire exchange, finally spoke "Wait... Is she dead?"Edward's eyes shifted slowly from Adriana to Jason, then to Dave, lingering on each of them as the weight of the realization settled over him "You mean she's dead?"Dave gave a slow nod, "Yes, and you were walking straight into a murder scene.""As someone who has already been accused of murdering Feng, who appeared on live television talking about you, and then if your fingerprint is found on the door of the owner of the hospital Caleb claimed adopted you, while a court case where your lawyer has officially challenged your adoption documents as fake is still ongoing... what do you think would have happened?" Jason asked, his voice calm, yet carrying an edge that made every word land harder.Without waiting for an answer, he continued, piecing everything together aloud."He knew you would visit the hospital. He knew you would discover the adoption documents, and after that, you'd tr

"Those motherfuckers..." Caleb muttered under his breath but it was low so the receptionist didn't hear When no response came, "You don't have to worry, sir." The receptionist assured. Her voice carried a smug laugh, while a devilish smile plastered across her face. "I put on quite the performance. They'll never come back here. They believed every word I said.""Good job." Caleb's voice finally came up "You'll be rewarded handsomely.""Thank you, sir. I'll continue to do my best."***Back in Edward's car, Edward and Adriana listened to the conversation through the tiny chip she had planted."I was right not to trust her." Adriana chuckled softly. "Who would've believed all those tears were fake?"While they had been inside the records room, she had discreetly attached the recording chip beneath the receptionist's shirt collar. Whatever happened after they left would determine their next move.With barely two days left before the next court hearing, they couldn't afford to waste a si

The room fell into complete silence as Ruby fought to keep her breathing steady. She didn't need anyone to tell her who was on the line. From the way Black had spoken, she already knew, and she also knew they couldn't afford to let him discover the truth just yet."Black, I need you to look into someone. She appears to be a blogger, but I don't think that's who she really is. Her name is Miss AC. Search for anything you can find about her and get back to me."Caleb's voice echoed through the speaker the moment Black answered the call, making every word impossible for Ruby to miss."Okay, boss. I'll get on it right away and report back as soon as I have something."Silence lingered for a few seconds.Black's brows drew together, but when he finally spoke, his voice remained steady enough that the man on the other end wouldn't detect the anger simmering beneath it. "Boss... will that be all?"Caleb cleared his throat, his tone turning colder. "No."Another pause followed.Black could he

The receptionist froze at his words. But she knew better than to be rude again, not if she wanted to keep her job, or her peace of mind. One wrong move and she would be jobless forever."I'm just a receptionist here. I don't really know what is happening. My job is to log in names and check people out." Her eyes welled up as she shook her head frantically. "I admit I was rude before, and I am sorry. Just tell me what you are here for, and I will direct you to the right ward." She assumed they were visiting someone, since neither of them appeared ill and even if they were ill they wouldn't visit a place like this when they had one of the best hospitals in Goldmere.Edward remained unmoved by her display. To him, her tears looked like nothing more than crocodile tears. Anyone walking in now would think they were bullying her.He straightened his posture. "Glad you recognize your rudeness. It offends me and my friend here." He swayed slightly toward Adriana, gesturing to her as if to em

"If he really adopted me from that hospital, then that's where we should start." Edward's voice grew firmer with each word as he worked through the logic aloud."If the documents are real, one of the old hospital staff would have been involved in processing everything. If not..." He paused, locking eyes with Adriana."Then he'll be in even more trouble, not just for lying about the adoption, or your father, but for presenting fake documents to the court," Adriana finished.Edward nodded. "Exactly, so we better get there quickly."He continued, "Whether those papers are real or forged, someone at that hospital had processed them. If Caleb faked them, there might still be records that expose him. And if he didn't..." He trailed off, letting the implication hang. "Then we'll find out exactly how I ended up in their care."Adriana agreed with a nod.Just then, his lawyer approached, and Edward stepped forward immediately. "What was the name of the hospital where the adoption took place?"

"Yes, Alex would forgive you, my dear, I know that he holds no grudge against you," Mr. Xavier said"I wronged him, big time," Abigail said, she didn't care If someone was inside the car with her or not"Just try apologizing and I believe that he will hear you out, since he likes you” Mr. Kim said"I'm also really sorry, I've been a pain in the ass to Alex and I hope that he would forgive me," James saidThe car was silent and no one said anything until they got to the mansion, Mr. Kim drove all of them to The king’s palace . Alex was already at home, he was in his room working on something importantHis eyes were fixed on his laptop when he heard a knock on his door"Come in," He said,"Young Master Alex, your grandfather is here to see you," Hannah said"Ok," Alex said as he suspended everything that he was doing and stood up to follow Hannah. As Alex climb down the stairs, he spotted two familiar faces, the faces of the people that distaste him and showed him nothing but hate"What

Alex paced in his room, he didn't like whenever the Darius family was mentioned anymore. To Alex, he felt like not everyone deserved love and the Darius family was one of them."You get what you give" Alex's mother would always say, the words of his mother were like guidelines to AlexHe tried to shift his thoughts away from them and focus on more important things. Alex picked up his phone and dialed Hailey's number"Hey," Hailey said as soon as she answered the call"Hello, can we meet," Alex said"Yeah, yeah, I want us to clear something up," Hailey said"Ok, I would also love to talk to you" Alex responded. "Ok, let's meet at the restaurant close to your street then" Hailey suggested "I'm close by because of the movie I'm acting so we just rounded up for today" Hailey added"Ok, that would be nice, I'd be there in 10 minutes," Alex said "Ok," Hailey said before she hung up the call. For the past few days, she has thought a lot about Alex, her life wasn't like a princess Barbie b

"I suspect that Mrs. Darius didn't keep to her part of the deal, maybe she tried to act smart and kill the man," Mr. Kim said"You are right" Alex agreed"But we can never be too sure" He added. They got to the airport early, but Lee was not there with them, he decided to go and visit his mother with the time he has has before something else takes his time. Mr. Kim and Alex got out of the car and waited patiently for Mr. Xavier. Alex couldn't wait to see him, they were all happy that he was finally coming homeMeanwhile, Mr. Xavier came out of the plane and used his eyes to scan around for his lovely grandson and Mr. Kim."Grandpa," Alex said as soon as he sighted Mr. Xavier, with a smile on his face he rushed to meet Mr. Xavier"How have you been, Grandpa," Alex asked"I've been great, what about you," Mr. Xavier asked"I'm fine Grandpa," Alex said"Welcome back home sir," Mr. Kim said"Thank you, Kim, I can see that you took good care of my boy," Mr. Xavier said and laughed"I'm no

James drove to the Xavier's estate straight, his car finally came to a stop in front of the Darius quarter in Mr. Xavier's estateHe came out of the car and briskly walked into the house where he saw Abigail crying on the floor.Abigail didn't know when James walked into the house, she was weeping as she didn't know what had happen to them after the news."What happened," James asked as soon as he got close to Abigail, Abigail raised her head and turned to face her brother"Mother was arrested because of the tanker accident, James," Abigail said"Since yesterday I noticed her off behavior, she acting weird and I don't know what happened" Abigail added"What do you mean by she has been acting weird," James asked"I heard her the other day when she said that she is doing all these for our future and she wouldn't let us find out about anything," Abigail said"What does she mean," James asked"I don't know and that's what I tried to find out when I was listening to what she saying the oth

"Ok" Sophie replied"Take good care of yourself" She added"Ok Mom, bye" Lee added before he hung up the call, he loved both his parents but not seeing them together was disheartening. Lee got to the company at exactly noon and he briskly walked into the building, he wanted to help Linda finish her work but of course, he couldn't do it alone so he needs a little helpAs he got to the seventh floor, he saw his father on Linda's desk"Hey Dad, what are you doing," Lee asked"I'm helping the girl sort things out," Mr. Kim said and a smile appeared on Lee's face, "Call me if you need any help," Lee said"I'm already done," Mr. Kim said"What?" Lee said"She finished all the difficult parts before leaving so the rest was just minor work," Mr. Kim said"Oh," Lee said, they both walked into Alex's office"It's almost time," Alex said immediately after he saw them"We will soon find out the truth," Lee said, and just then, Alex's phone began to ring, it was the same number that called him ye

"How then do I buy my clothes," Linda asked as she glared at Lisa, and Lee couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction"I'm sorry if I annoyed you" Lisa apologized"It's just that I haven't been to a mall as big as this" Linda said, Lee stared at her for a few seconds before looking away"These are the latest collection in the market," Lisa said as she brought out some pair of shoes, heels, and a lot more"Pick as much as you want," Lee said and Linda was puzzled, these were very expensive and three shoes could be her salary for a month"But they look very expensive," Linda said"Not as expensive as you are and Alex wants you to get the best it's a way of appreciating all that you did and how you supported him, you were a good secretary and staff," Lee said with a smile. Linda turned away from him and kept her eyes on the shoes, she picked a black heel, it was very expensive as she could see the prize tag so she decided to only pick that shoe, she had eyes for another red heel but she
