Three weeks, there how long Mr and Mrs Beerson spends in the interrogation room. The detectives have tried their best to make them confess to the fraud charges being leveled against them, but they stood their ground. There has been radio silence from John and the Kent family. Even Finna hasn't come to see her parents, or at least send them socks to keep their feet warm. Stephanie has been very different though. She has been cooking fresh food everyday and an hour before the police station is closed, she would bring in the food for her parents. They never thanked her, they never take her advice on finally snitching on the Kent family to free themselves. Roman has been very quiet and observant of the entire thing. He will know when the time is right to act…This time around, Stephanie has come alone. She came with macaroni and cheese, together with some steaks that she slowly cooked throughout the night. “I brought some grapes too, a change of fruit.” Stephanie says. “Athena ins

Athena is asleep with Winona standing right outside her door to protect her. Roman holds an umbrella over Stephanie's head as they both manage to get into the car without getting drenched by the rain. It came out of nowhere, as if the day couldn't get any worse. Roman refused Carmen, or any other person, to drive his wife to the police station. This is a trying time for his wife, and he has to be there for her. Stephanie is staring out of the window with a gloomy look on her face. “Is Finna going to meet you there?” Roman asks her. “No.” She blurts. “Finna has a terrible stomach ache, but she is very scared and worried for our parents too.” Roman nods. He knows that his wife is lying to him, but he is not holding it against her. Finna obviously refused to help her parents, and Stephanie is too embarrassed to admit it. “Don't worry, I believe we will be able to manage everything ourselves.” Roman holds her hand. The drive is about an hour and by the time they get to the polic

Finna is flabbergasted as she stands in front of the television in her house, seeing her parents being taken away in handcuffs. She looks a mess, because she was in the middle of doing her hair, nails, and toes, when she was alerted by the servants of the outrageous news about her parents being arrested. “Oh my God,” her hand slaps over her forehead. “Lord, this can't be happening.” Pumpkin is sitting in the front with her toys scattered all around. She has a very different reaction to seeing her grandparents on the news. She bursts out into laughter and points to the screen. “Woah, mum, you didn't tell me that your parents are thieves! Look at Grandma crying like a little baby!” “That's enough, Pumpkin, go to your room.” “Whatever, I wasn't going to watch that boring news again!” She walks up to the steps, and one of the servants immediately goes down on her knees and starts to puts the toys into a basket. Finna, who is frustrated by everything that is happening, kicks the ser

Mr Beerson thinks that his life has just gotten better, but his mind is further blown when he receives a call from the society of journalism, the city chapter. He is having breakfast and watching a football match when his wife drags the landmine from the kitchen, all the way to the living room. Her eyes are wide open, and her mouth is shaking from so much excitement. “Honey, you are not going to believe who is on the phone for you!” “What do you mean?” “It's the society of journalism! You have become so famous as a rich man again, and they want to interview you!” Mister Beerson quickly wipes his mouth with the back of his hand before he collects the phone and stands up on his feet. He clears his throat and puts the phone against his ear. “James Beerson.” “Good morning, Mister Beerson, I am from the the society of journalism–” Mr Beerson giggles and twirls the wire around his finger. “Let me guess, you want an interview with me?” “Well, sir, you have guessed correctly.” the p

Mister Beerson was very excited to be at the Kent family end of the year party. He and his wife have been led to the VIP section, and they are standing beside their daughter, Finna. “Oh, this reminds me of the good old days.” He exhales with a satisfied smile. “Thanks to your husband, Finna, we have gotten our honour back.” Finna just shrugs it off. “What can I say? My duty is to my parents, that's why I married into one of the most influential families in the world.” Her glass is empty, so she raises it for them to see. “Let me refill my glass, I will be right back.” That's such a wrong move, given that the place is littered with waiters, and she can refill her glass in a few seconds, by just snapping her fingers and pointing to the glass. Well, that's because she has a motive. She walked past the bar and into the elevator. It only takes a few minutes for her to get to the floor where her husband's office is located. He hasn't joined the party yet, and so has his uncle. For

Mr Beerson gets into his fancy jeep that was just delivered to his house, and he takes the drive to the Kent headquarters. He has been there a few times, and no one gave him the respect of the father-in-law that he is. He was made to wait in the public reception for hours, and at the end John refused to see him, and sent him away. Times are different now, weren't they?As soon as he walks through the door. John's Kent’s assistant walks up to him with a broad smile. “Hello, sir, you must be my boss’ in law, James Beerson.” “Yes, James Beerson is the name.” He affirms. “I was supposed to meet with John for a very important meeting–” “This way sir.” Mr Beerson's eyes light up once they pass the public reception. They get into the elevator and the ding comes right after they reach the seventh floor. They get out and the assistant leads him into a private room that had an over 116 inches television, a bar, and a bartender in his tuxedo. “Have a seat, sir, and let us know if ther
