Ethan started the car and, after a few seconds, was able to turn to the opposite side where they came from.

The escort led the way as they made the journey back.

Mrs Stone was staring at Ethan weirdly, looking at the car he was driving and the escort that was leading.

He knew his mother, and from the silence, he knew there were a lot of questions.

“I know, Mama. I know all your questions,” Ethan spoke, breaking the silence.

His mother nodded.

“Then you better start explaining yourself now,” Mrs Stone said with a stern yet soft voice.

“Okay. The car we are in is mine, but the two motorbikes and the riders are not. A friend lent them to me so I could come here faster to see you.

I came out of prison three days ago, with nothing, but I was rich. I learnt a trade in jail and was able to make money out of it. I came out rich, but Ava didn't know. She divorced me on the same day I came out of prison because she had found someone else to live her life with and said she

    A PREMEDITATED ACTION OF GREEDMr. David continued speaking, breaking Ava's defences.“... My Lord.My fourth point here is that the divorce documents, which were prepared by the plaintiff here, did not state in any part that my client here was supposed to pay to her any amount of money as compensation.Therefore, my client has by no means breached any contract whatsoever; this is just a way, premeditated and devised by the plaintiff, to drive my client dry.These few instances I have mentioned here prove the fact that my client here is innocent of all the accusations levelled by the plaintiff.We do not need anything from her either.
