Chapter 163: Holding On
In the courthouse courtyard, Richard stood straight, watching the police vehicle that carried Soraya away. Bejo stood beside him, his jaw tight.“She said she wasn’t the only one,” Bejo muttered. “That means there’s someone else.”Richard rubbed his tired face. “I’ve already contacted the senior investigator. They’ll interrogate her tonight. I’ll have people find out who communicated with that woman before. Even if there are others behind her, I’m certain they’re part of Baskoro’s group that was already caught.”Itari, who had been silent until now, finally spoke in a hoarse voice. “Samson… he’ll be all right, won’t he? He just had surgery a few days ago because of the gunshot wound to his chest.”Richard didn’t answer right away. He only stared in the direction the ambulance had already gone.Bejo clenched his fists. “I’m going to the hospital now. Mrs. Itari, are you coming?”“I’m coming,” Itari replied without hesitation.Richard nodded. “I’ll follow after I make sure Soraya’s dete
CHAPTER 162: Blood and Vows
"Damn it!" Bejo rushed forward, grabbing Soraya and driving her to the ground, pinning both her arms tightly behind her back."Sam?!" Rose caught Samson's body as he began to slide downward, fresh blood soaking through his clothes and oozing continuously from his abdomen."Sam, hold on!" Rose burst into tears instantly, her hands trembling violently as she pressed against the bleeding wound on his stomach.Richard immediately dialed for an ambulance. At the same time, because the incident occurred within the court complex, nearby police officers and security guards rushed over to inspect the commotion."Oh my God, Samson!" Itari dropped to her knees beside Samson, whose head rested in Rose's lap."I'm fine, Rose," Samson stammered, cold sweat beginning to drench his forehead and temples."Don't close your eyes, Sam!" Rose pressed both her hands over his abdominal wound. Warm blood seeped between her fingers, trickling down her wrists and dripping onto the parking lot pavement."I'm...
CHAPTER 161: The Final Ambush
"Father?" Rose laughed mockingly, a cold sound that cut cleanly through the silence of the courtroom. "A father wouldn't steal his child's birthright, torture his wife, or attempt to murder his own flesh and blood for his own gain!"The atmosphere inside the courtroom reached a boiling point. Baskoro attempted to leap to his feet again, but two police officers immediately pinned his shoulders firmly to his chair."Defendant Baskoro! This is the final warning from the Bench! If you cannot maintain order, we will proceed with these proceedings in your absence!" the Presiding Judge thundered, striking his gavel heavily.Bang! Bang! Bang!Baskoro was left breathing heavily, his face flushed red with intense rage and humiliation in front of the media and gallery.On the other side, Emran didn't dare look at Rose. Her former fiancé kept his head bowed in utter frustration, fully aware that any resistance was completely futile.He knew his offenses were not as severe as Baskoro's. He was onl
CHAPTER 160: The Reckoning in Court
"Boss, where do you think you're going? You're still not stable," Gopar scolded as he watched Samson pull on his leather jacket, having already swapped his hospital gown for casual clothing."Today is the first court hearing for Baskoro, Emran, and Rio. I need to be by Rose's side," Samson said."But Mr. Richard and Bejo are already there," Gopar countered."It doesn't matter. I still need to be present," Samson replied, deeply concerned about Rose.Today was the trial of her father, her former fiancé, and her stepbrother—the perpetrators behind embezzlement, fraud, and attempted murder."Ucok said Mrs. Itari is attending as well. She'll be testifying as a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her ex-husband, Baskoro," Gopar reported."What about Bianca? Who's keeping her company at the villa?" Samson asked."Ucok is staying with her, while Mrs. Itari was picked up by the security detail Miss Rose dispatched," Gopar informed him."Alright. You stay here and guard Clara at the hospi
CHAPTER 159: The Fall of the Empire
Samson offered a subtle smile, deeply moved by Bianca’s affection. She gave him a sense of family that had been missing ever since his mother passed away. Samson had been all alone in the world, so being regarded as a father figure by a twenty-year-old girl at thirty-seven wasn't something he minded in the slightest."Oh! I brought some fruit pudding. Titi and I made it earlier!" Bianca declared enthusiastically, turning toward Itari.Itari smiled gently, watching Bianca’s mood shift so rapidly from tearful hysterics to bright excitement. She reached into her shopping bag and pulled out a transparent container filled with fresh, layered fruit pudding, topped with neatly arranged strawberry and grape slices."That's right, Sam. Ever since she heard you woke up, Bianca refused to leave until she finished making this pudding," Itari said, setting the container on the bedside table. "She insisted her father needed to get his strength back."Samson looked at the container, then shifted his
CHAPTER 158: The Cold War and Loving Promises
The atmosphere inside the VIP suite instantly turned tense, thick with heavy awkwardness.Gopar, Ucok, and Bejo tiptoed backward, hurrying to shut the door tight from the outside before a cold war between the two formidable women could erupt.Once the door slid shut, only Rose, Clara, and Samson remained in the sudden silence.Rose crossed her arms over her chest, attempting to maintain her composure, though the sharp glint in her eyes couldn't conceal her irritation. She darted a brief glance at Samson before shifting her gaze back to Clara, who sat quietly in her wheelchair.Aware of the sudden shift in the room, Clara let out a subtle, knowing smile."How are you feeling, Sam?" Clara asked, easing the awkwardness."Much better. What about you? You really should be resting, Clar. I'm sure your condition hasn't fully stabilized," Samson said."I'm feeling much better, Sam. The doctor said there's no infection and the surgery was a success, so everything is fine," Clara replied with a
