The NorthVale District Court building felt cold and oppressive to Jason Cole as the presiding judge brought the wooden gavel down with a loud, thunderous bang that echoed throughout the courtroom. The hum of the air conditioning seemed to disappear, replaced by the frantic pounding of Jason’s heart.

“Based on the evidence from the forensic financial audit and the testimony of the expert witness,” the presiding judge declared firmly, gazing toward the defendant’s table, “the court gra

    One month later.The doorbell rang loudly several times, but the homeowner still did not come to open the door. Finally, Taylor reluctantly pulled out his phone.The first call went unanswered. Taylor began to lose his temper. “Sh*t! Where is he?!”Stone stood nearby with his arms folded across his chest, leaning against a pillar with a crooked smile on his face. The smile seemed to mock Taylor.“Do I really have to take matters into my own hands?” Stone straightened up and walked toward Taylor.Just as Taylor was about to place the flat device against his ear, Stone quickly stopped him.“Don’t waste any more time. We’ve already been here for almost thirty minutes,” Stone said.The man promptly stepped to the right and jumped over the house’s fence. Apparently, Stone already knew what he needed to do.“Jade!” he shouted loudly.Not long after, the front door opened, and Jade appeared behind it. He looked at Taylor before shifting his gaze to Stone, who was walking toward Taylor.Stone

    Tate gave a faint smile as he slid a warm cup of coffee toward Alice. In a private room at a quiet café in NorthVale, the cityscape beyond the glass windows looked beautiful, as if concealing something slowly creeping toward the city. Tate had deliberately invited Alice today to celebrate this new chapter of her life.“Congratulations, Alice,” Tate said in a steady, warm voice. “As soon as I heard that your divorce hearing with Jason had gone smoothly, I knew I had to congratulate you in person.”Alice let out a long sigh, her fingers intertwined on the table. An overwhelming sense of relief slowly emerged, wearing away at the heavy burden that had weighed on her chest for years. “Thank you, Tate. This is all thanks to James Carter’s perseverance.”Beside Alice, James Carter, her friend as well as a talented young lawyer, smiled faintly. He wore a perfectly tailored suit, and his confident gestures reflected the sharp energy of a young legal practitioner who had just won a major battl

    That morning, the sunlight over NorthVale filtered faintly through the gaps in the curtains of Alice’s apartment. The cup of herbal tea in her hand was still steaming when the doorbell rang. Alice walked over to open the door and found Clara standing there anxiously. She was carrying a handbag and a thin stack of documents in her arms. “Alice!” Clara immediately stepped inside and hugged her friend tightly before taking off her thick coat. “I’ve been reading the news all night. What was the actual outcome of the hearing? Did the ruling really go in your favor?” Alice gave a faint smile and nodded as she invited Clara to sit on the living room sofa. “The judge issued an interim ruling. The hearing will continue next week. All of Jason’s personal accounts, property assets registered under his name, and even his share dividends in Cole Industries have officially been frozen. The Board of Directors has even suspended him from his position as CEO.” “That’s incredible,” Clara whisper

    A luxurious black sedan glided slowly through the dazzling lights of Manhattan.In the back seat, silence crept in amid the vehicle's soft engine hum.Tate Harlan turned his face toward the window, watching the faint reflection of Alice as she rested her head against the glass. Behind his always calm and composed expression, Tate's thoughts were suddenly thrown far back into the past. Back to the early years when he first met the woman beside him.The memory suddenly became crystal clear in Tate's mind. Those days at the Harlan Foundation, an exclusive research institution where the finest minds gathered. Among dozens of talented researchers passing by with great ambitions, Alice had always been the brightest.Tate was the sole heir to Harlan Group, a man born into extraordinary wealth but surrounded by people who cared only about his status and family name. Ever since he was a child, everyone had always wanted something from him. Money, power, and connections. The kindness shown by t

    Five days later. The sidewalk along Central Avenue was crowded with pedestrians and the rumble of public transportation in the afternoon. Alice stepped out of a café after calming herself following the court’s interim ruling. The cold wind pierced through to her skin beneath her thick coat, but a sense of relief and warmth lingered in her chest. Her steps suddenly came to a halt when a rough grip seized her wrist. “Alice, stop!” A baritone voice mixed with heavy breathing and desperation echoed from behind her. Alice turned around in shock. Jason stood there with disheveled hair, his eyes red from the effects of alcohol, and his suit rumpled. He was a far cry from the cold CEO image he had always maintained. “Let go of me, Jason!” Alice snapped as she forcefully yanked her hand away. “Just listen to me for a moment!” Jason shouted, stepping forward with an intimidating aura. “You destroyed everything, Alice. You froze my accounts and had me removed from my position. Do you know

The hum of the air conditioning seemed to disappear, replaced by the frantic pounding of Jason’s heart.“Based on the evidence from the forensic financial audit and the testimony of the expert witness,” the presiding judge declared firmly, gazing toward the defendant’s table, “the court grants the application for a preliminary attachment order. All personal bank accounts and real property registered under Jason Cole’s name, as well as the defendant’s operational share dividends in Cole Industries, are hereby frozen until the final verdict is delivered.”The gavel struck the bench once more. James Carter curved his lips into a faint smile as he straightened the documents on his table, while Alice, sitting beside him, merely closed her eyes for a moment and took a relieved
