CHAPTER 196
THE THOUGHTS OF A DISTRESSED MAN“Secondly, I don't think I am in the best position to testify on the character of Ava. I barely know her enough to testify to her good character for her.The closest I have been to her was accommodating her here for a single week, and I know that is not enough to be used as a basis of testimony.Again, she had just returned from jail at that time, meaning she had a history, and that can still be used against her.So technically, she was just remorseful because she had just returned from jail at that time.You are a lawyer, so I believe you should know better in this case.But to testify for her good character, I don't think I can do that because I am not in a position to do so.” Ruby explained to the lawyer.The lawyer nodded.“I understand you, Miss Ruby. But I am sure you might have seen a good character from her during the course of her stay here, and it does point out that we just need to win the judges over to reduce her sentence, and everything

A NEW ACCOMPLICE??A FEW HOURS AGO, RUBY'S APARTMENT.Ruby had just returned from work and was sitting in her living room, watching the news with her phone in her hands.She was enjoying the evening when her security guard knocked on the door and entered the living room.“Excuse me, ma'am. Someone is here to see you?” The guard said when he got in.Ruby turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow.“Someone? Who is that?” Ruby asked in surprise.She was not expecting anyone in her house that evening.“He says his name is Lawyer Justice, and he is here because of Miss Ava,” the guard said.Ruby fidgeted with unease when he heard that.“Lawyer for Ava? What does he want?” Ruby asked in confusion.“I have no idea, ma'am; he simply said he wants to speak with you.” The guard replied.Ruby heaved a sigh“Alright, let him in, but search him thoroughly before you allow him entry,” Ruby said.The guard saluted and left the room.Ruby shook her head.“What does Ava's lawyer want from me? Could

THE TALK"Alright, so you remember I told you about the gang leader for Vincent's gang who was released a month ago. The same guy who did the school shooting that brought about this whole thing?” Ethan asked him.“Yes, I do. What is up? Have you heard anything from him?” Ike asked in reply “Well, yes. He has been calling me recently with threats to kill me if I don't get his gang members released.I just received the most recent call from him just a moment ago, threatening to kill me if I dont get his men released before judgement is passed.” Ethan replied “Woah. This is serious. We need to take him on. But we will need to have evidence of his threats. Did you by any means record any of those calls? Because that can easily be used as evidence to get him arrested,” Ike asked him.“Oh yes... I recorded most of our calls. I am compiling the lists of call recordings. I will send it to you soon.” Ethan responded.“Very good. He is getting close to earning himself some more time in jail.

THE WANTED MAN“I have received some calls from Julius. I have not answered them, but I have a feeling that something is wrong somewhere.I need some info on if he is still in town and what he is up to,” Ethan requested.“Yes, sir. He is still in town and is still in hiding. For the past few days, he had not really been active, and it looks to me like he is planning something dangerous,” Jay explained.“Exactly. I feel like he is planning something, but we need to know quickly so that we can also plan a counter attack, because we will need to be on the alert when he attacks,” Ethan replied to him.“Yes, sir. It looks like he has found out that his phone had a bug, because now he rarely makes calls, and the location is always at one place, so I presume he might have been leaving it behind to go out because I don't believe he will continue to stay at the same place without moving around once in a while," Jay explained to him.Ethan nodded.“Alright. He has been calling me. I did not ans
CHAPTER 192
NO PAYMENT NEEDEDMr Frost went upstairs hurriedly.He went to his son's room. The boy was sitting in the same place he had been sitting when he had come here with Ethan earlier.He looked at the boy and observed his body to see if there were any marks on it.Unfortunately, there were no visible marks, and he was in the same state.The man wondered where Ethan had gotten the black from.He left his son's room and headed straight for his wife's room.When he got there, the woman was standing in a corner, facing him with a smile on her face.She was whispering something to herself with a smile.Mr Frost did not go any further.He just stood there and tried to see if he could find any marks on the woman, but there were none.He got out of the room and headed back to the living room.Ethan walked back into the living room, leaving the burning fire.He took off the He sat down on one of the couches and took out his phone, checking to see if he had any messages.Mr Frost came downstairs a
CHAPTER 191
Ethan had a conversation with Mr Frost for about ten minutes before the guards brought back the items.Ethan took the gloves and two paper towels and stood up from his seat.“I am going to your kid first.Set up the fire outside. I will be out in exactly five minutes," Ethan said and made his way upstairs to the room of the kid.He entered the room.The boy was sitting in the same position as when they had come to meet him before.Ethann quickly took his necklace from his pocket and placed it around his neck.He heaved a heavy sigh and immediately put on the gloves.He picked up the paper towel and looked at the boy.“How do I know this is working?” Ethan asked himself.“He is going to stay calm for the entire time. The only time he is going to react is the last day,” the voice replied to him.Ethan took a deep breath. Ethan took out his phone, set a timer for five minutes and placed the phone back into his pocket.He then went ahead to touch the boy with the paper towel in his hand
