Agent Miller kept digging more about Xavier Richmond and what vendetta would be for keeping Rubby under his roof. He also had on his wall the murder and death of Anthony Bailey, and everything was not making sense. Something was missing, and he couldn't place his fingers on it. Rubby has no motive for killing Anthony Bailey. But he had all the reasons to have Paulina and Roseine kidnapped. He was doing that for the gold. Miller's door burst open, and Agent Alice walked up and saw the wall decorated with many pictures and fliers. "Wow! You have a lot of big investigations going on. I thought you were told to stay clear of the Richmonds." Alice looked at him as she walked to the fridge to get herself a bottle of soda. "Does this make any sense?" Miller looked at Alice and continued, "Rubby has no motive to kill Anthony Bailey. Yes, they needed a distraction to have Roseine take from Alex's side, but don't you think killing Anthony Bailey was too much?" Alice opened her bottle of drink

Jacob Allison had become a crucial part of Xavier and Sandra's world. His charisma and clever humor made him popular at their parties, and his sincere fascination with the mining sector earned him a position as a trusted advisor. Nevertheless, Xavier's paranoia never decreased. He had established his empire through distrust and deception, and he understood the importance of not dropping his guard entirely. While Jacob wandered through the lavish hallways of the Richmond mansion at a luxurious party, Xavier and Sandra started to question their newfound friend.In the dark corner of the ballroom, Xavier quietly expressed to Sandra, "There's something about Jacob that doesn't feel right to me." He is excessively flawless. I don't want to believe he has our best interests at heart."Sandra, looking around at the crowd, responded, "I've had similar thoughts. His timing and his story align perfectly. There is more to him than meets the eye, but I want to believe he is legit."Xavier gave a

Alex sat on the edge of his chair, Paulina still on his lap, processing the new lead. The realization that Henry and Claire could be behind the attack on Ethan was a bitter pill to swallow. His mind raced with the implications of this discovery. He knew he had to tread carefully. H had once had issues with the Wills and Henry. Alex believes they should have learned their lesson by now. But working with Rubby was something he had never anticipated. "We need to gather evidence," Alex said, his voice low and determined. "If Henry and Claire are involved, they won't be easy to take down."Paulina nodded. "I'll start digging into their financials and looking for any connections to Xavier's operations. We need a solid case before we make our move."Alex leaned back, his eyes distant, as he considered their next steps. "And I'll have Marcus look into their recent activities. If they've been in contact with any of Xavier's associates, we'll find out."As Paulina stood up, Alex pulled her bac

Filled with joy, Naomi made her way back to her room, looking forward to the road trip she had long been promised by her father. Alex watched as she left, a mix of emotions reflected in his smile. The events of the day had provided him with a precious moment of calm in the midst of the turmoil, although he was aware it wouldn't last long as they were preparing to capture his enemies. He looked back at Paulina, who gazed at him with a blend of curiosity and fondness."Are you going to?" Softly, Alex echoed, his gaze meeting hers. "Would you consider marrying me after everything comes to an end?"Paulina felt a sudden tightness in her chest as she struggled to breathe. This was not something she had anticipated, especially not at this moment, while battling against Xavier and his minions. She extended her hand and gently squeezed Alex's hand. She gazed at his facial features."Alex," she started, but Alex's phone ringing interrupted her.Alex responded to the call with a sigh. "Can I he

Xavier was seated in the interrogation room, with his hands restrained and attached to the table. The faint light created elongated shadows on his face, emphasizing the seriousness in his gaze. He understood that this opportunity to meet with the commissioner was his final chance for freedom, and he was determined not to waste it.Maxwell, the attorney, had assured him that the commissioner would come and see him. He had placed the required phone calls, and all they could do was be patient. Time passed slowly, but Xavier stayed composed, his thoughts filled with strategies and backup plans.Accompanied by two officers, Commissioner Graham entered the room as the door made a creaking sound. He had a tall, commanding presence with a serious expression that seldom showed feelings. He waved his hand to dismiss the officers and sat down across from Xavier.Graham started addressing Mr. Richmond, his tone icy. "You need to persuade me in five minutes why it's worth my while to stay here."X
