Jane's POVI sat in my living room with Nate by my side. It was evening, and our secure phone lines rang softly in the background. We had labored for days writing every word of the public statement. Now it was the time to speak out and win over those who still had their doubts against me.Nate looked at me and said, "Jane, I know it seems like the whole world is against you, but this is our chance to turn the tide. Our evidence is strong. We need to get the public educated on the real story."I nodded slowly. "I know, Nate. I do have a lot of anger within me, but I want this statement to be straightforward, true, and simple. No ranting and raving—just facts and my vow of justice."We started up our secure laptop and opened a new document. I took a deep breath. "Let's write it together," I said.Nate grinned. "Alright, Jane. I'll type it out, then you can have a listen to see if you sound like this."A little while later, Nate read off the screen:"Good evening. I am Jane Harrison. I

Jane's POVI woke up early that morning with a strange knot in my belly as if something big was about to happen. I reached for my phone and switched it on. In seconds, breaking news notifications were flashing on the screen. There was a scandalous expose on Lawson Enterprises, my family's shady business activities, on all the news channels. My heart was pounding. I had worked so many months gathering evidence, and now, it looked like the truth was being told to the public.I phoned Nate immediately."Hi, Nate. Did you see the news?" I asked.Nate replied, "Yes, Jane. I've been watching all night. The scandal is out now. They are talking about illegal offshore accounts, backdoor deals, and even furtive meetings."I took a deep breath. "This is it. The scandal is out. Our evidence has been made public. But I'm scared—what if they quote me out of context? What if they drive me insane?" Nate answered firmly, "You needn't fear. We built a good case, and the facts will stand on their own.

Jane's POVI walked into the meeting room with a heavy heart and steel determination. The past few weeks have been ferocious. We were being attacked in the public sphere on all sides—news stories challenging my character, tweets twisting my story, and even hate letters intended to sully our reputation. But my support group was here, all around a giant table in a small, secure meeting room, and I was sure that we were one."Jane, we got the news," said Michael firmly and resolutely. "They are informing us that you are unstable. They are saying that you are leading the investigation due to a mere emotional whim."I took a deep breath and looked around the table at the faces. Worry and determination were in Lisa's, Robert's, Richard's, and Mark's expressions. I responded, "I hear what they're saying. I know they're trying to discredit me. But we have the truth on our side."Lisa leaned forward. "Jane, don't let them discourage you. We have good evidence. We know what happened. Our papers

Jane's POV I shivered in the cold conference room of the courthouse, seeing my heart thud in my chest. Beige and empty walls surrounded us, lit by flickering overhead fluorescent light. I was seated at a long table with my lawyer Carla, Nate, and a few of our lawyers. Tension was there. We were attending a very serious hearing…to file for a temporary court order freezing some of the disputed assets surrounding my mother's estate. Carla coughed. "Jane, the judge will be right here," she said, scanning her notes. I nodded. "I'm ready. I just want to get this behind me. I need to hold on to my mother's memory." Nate shifted forward. "We have sufficient evidence, Jane. Our documents show that the transfers were illegal. We require the court to instruct any additional movement to stop until we have settled this." In a few minutes, the door swung open and a bailiff came in saying, "Court is now in session. Stand up." I stood with the others, enduring the chill of the moment. I follo

Zack’s POVI sat in my office late in the evening. The lights were low, and my mind was busy planning our next move. Mae had just come in, and her eyes were sharp, full of determination. We both knew that Jane was rising up. Her legal challenges and public speeches had stirred up too much truth. I had to act quickly and decisively.Mae broke the silence, “Zack, we cannot let her ruin everything.” I nodded slowly and replied, “I know. Jane is gaining momentum. The public is starting to ask questions. We must discredit her before her evidence takes full effect.” Mae leaned forward, “I agree. We are launching our smear campaign now. We use every tool available. I have contacts in the media. They can twist her story and show her as unstable.” I frowned slightly and said, “I want to protect our reputation. Our business depends on it. We cannot allow Jane to claim the assets and tarnish our records.” Mae smiled slyly, “Then we did this together. I have a plan. We start with social m

Jane's POVI sat at my kitchen table, having the papers spread out in front of me. My hands were trembling while I went over the papers one last time. I had to fight through the inheritance of my mother's wealth by Damien. The injustice of it seethed through me. I picked up the phone and dialed my attorney, Carla.Hello, Carla. It is Jane," I said firmly, standing firm vocally."Hello, Jane. Standing up how?" Carla softly asked."I'm prepared to go further. I have proof my mum's money illegitimately transferred over to Damien," I informed her.There was a soft silence from Carla. "That is quite serious, Jane. Would you be willing to take a course in law now?I replied firmly, "Yes, Carla. I want justice. I cannot let Damien have what is mine."In the later part of the afternoon, I went to Carla's small law office. The office was simple with a very long table and a few chairs. Carla greeted me with a smile."Jane, it's wonderful to see you. Sit down," she said, sitting on the opposite
