Chapter 251
Deborah listened intently to her daughter’s words, and as the plan took shape in her mind, a slow, satisfied smile spread across her face, a mixture of pride and relief washing over her features.“You are truly my daughter,” she murmured, shaking her head slightly in disbelief at how sharply her daughter’s mind worked even under the crushing weight of everything they were facing. “You definitely inherited that from me.”“So tell me,” Deborah said eagerly, leaning forward slightly. “What exactly is your plan? What are you thinking?”Her daughter took a brief moment to gather her thoughts before speaking, her voice steady and calculated.“I want to blackmail Sebastian,” she said plainly. “That is going to be our way forward. Remember, his father sits as Chief Justice of the Federation. If we play this correctly, we can ensure that whatever judgment comes down regarding Father and Jefferson swings entirely in our favor.”She continued, her tone growing more strategic.“But here’s the thi

Deborah studied her daughter carefully, her brow furrowing with a mixture of hesitation and concern as the weight of what was being proposed settled fully upon her. “Can you actually do this?” she asked slowly. “Can you truly go through with something like this for the sake of this family? Because I need you to understand, this is not going to be simple. Mr. Vincent is going to make this difficult, deliberately difficult, because that is exactly the kind of man he is. Yes, he has feelings for me. Yes, he has always shown interest in pursuing something more between us. But you must understand something important. Under normal circumstances, when we were not desperate, when we still held some semblance of power and stability, he respected boundaries. He kept his distance because he understood that pushing too hard would cost him more than he stood to gain.” She began pacing again, her voice growing more agitated as she continued. “But now, now that he clearly knows we are desperate, n
Chapter 249
Deborah blinked, caught off guard by her daughter’s suggestion, her tear-streaked face shifting from grief into something closer to confusion.“Benjamin? Mr. Vincent?” she repeated slowly, studying her daughter’s expression as though trying to understand the reasoning behind such a suggestion. “Why on earth would we call either of them? What exactly is going through your mind right now? What do you think they can do for us in a situation like this?”Her daughter met her gaze steadily, her voice calm despite the desperation still lingering in the room.“Mr. Vincent is well connected, Mom,” she said. “Extremely well connected. And right now, we need to use whatever resources are available to us if we want any chance of pulling Jefferson and Dad out of this mess. You always taught me that you use what you have to get what you need. This is exactly that kind of situation.”Deborah’s expression hardened slightly at the mention of the plan forming in her daughter’s mind, and after a long, t
Chapter 248
Deborah sat frozen on the edge of her seat, the phone pressed tightly against her ear, listening to her son’s voice crack under the weight of desperation, and with every word he spoke, she felt her chest tighten as though invisible hands were slowly squeezing the life out of her.Jefferson had been taken from the hospital without warning, transferred to some undisclosed location that sounded far more like a detention facility than any place meant for recovery, a place so secure and so isolated that escape seemed impossible, a place where he was reportedly being kept under constant watch, unable to move freely, unable to breathe without someone monitoring his every action.She had not been permitted to see him in two agonizing days.“Mom,” Jefferson begged, his voice trembling with a rawness that shattered whatever composure Deborah had left, “you have to get me out of here. Please. I will do anything, anything at all, just get me out of this place. I can’t explain everything right now
Chapter 247
Megan responded quickly, wanting to dispel any notion that she was trying to construct some elaborate deception.“I’m not trying to fabricate anything,” she said firmly. “I’m not trying to make it seem as though you're lying to me or twisting the situation to fit some narrative of your own. That is not what this is about at all. What I am trying to do is uncover the truth, the complete and honest truth, with absolutely no gaps left unexplained. That is exactly why I’m telling you this, why I believe we need to dig deeper into this matter rather than settling for surface-level explanations. If I didn’t trust you, Kai, why would I even be having this conversation with you right now? Why would I bother explaining myself at all?”Yet even as those words left her mouth, a quiet, persistent unease continued to churn deep within her, a feeling she could no longer ignore no matter how much she tried to convince herself otherwise.Something was wrong.Something was terribly, unmistakably wrong
Chapter 246
The moment those words left Kai’s mouth, admitting that someone had indeed sent him the video rather than him personally witnessing or filming the incident himself, Megan felt a quiet, deliberate resolve settle over her, and without allowing even a second of hesitation to creep into her voice, she responded firmly.“Okay,” she said. “This person who sent it to you, I want to speak with them myself. I want to sit across from this person and ask them directly where they got that footage from, because right now, I genuinely have no idea where it originated, and I think that is a detail far too important to simply overlook.”On the other end of the call, Kai felt something inside him tighten with disbelief.He could not understand why Megan was suddenly pushing so aggressively for answers, why she was treating a matter he believed should have already been settled as though it required an entire investigation. Why was she behaving as though the truth needed to be excavated layer by layer,
