Prosecutor Long stood frozen as the notification flashed on his screen. It was a confirmation from the High Court Registrar that Mr Pearson's travel documents had been surrendered.

Lawyer Marsh hadn't slipped, and the deadline hadn't been missed. He cursed Mr Pearson in his heart, then he swept a stack of case files off his desk. The folders hit the floor, spilling evidence across the room.

Prosecutor Long's legs finally gave out, and he collapsed into his leather chair, the air rushing out of h

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 120 Cardiac Arrest

    At the Stanton Private Hospital, Mrs Pearson turned her gaze towards her son and said, her voice weak but resolute, “I want to be discharged.” Then Austin pressed the call button, summoning her mother’s attending doctor.Her attending doctor rushed into the private ward, his face etched with concern, and asked, “Are you not feeling well, Mrs Pearson?”Mrs Pearson looked at him with tired, grief-stricken eyes and replied, “Doctor, I am feeling much better. I simply want to go home to mourn my family in private.”Austin stepped forward and placed a steadying hand on his mother’s shoulder, nodding to the doctor to signal his agreement.The attending doctor performed a final, careful examination, checking her vital signs one last time to ensure she was stable enough for the transition.Despite her deep sorrow, her attending doctor found her physically stable enough for the journey and proceeded to sign the discharge documents.Her attending doctor stepped back from the hospital bed, and he

    Rain looked at her brother, her eyes narrowing with a sudden, sharp clarity, and she said, “Big Brother, it's obvious this wasn't an accident, but it was revenge. Mrs Phillips and Miss Becky made sure she paid for what she had done.”Maddox walked towards the balcony, then he pulled Rain into a tight embrace and said, “I know Zara’s death doesn’t change anything, my dearest Rain.It won’t bring my Godson back, but I am glad that she is gone. She finally got what she deserved.”Rain buried her face in Maddox’s chest, waiting for the surge of triumph she had always imagined. She murmured, her voice almost lost to the wind, “I thought I would be happy.I thought hearing she was gone would feel like a victory. But there is no ripple in my heart, Maddox. There is no satisfaction. The hate was so loud for so long that I thought its absence would be beautiful. However, it just feels like nothing.”In South Africa, someone leaked Zara’s video clip showing her being beaten up by her inmates. Th

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 118 Personal Vendetta

    The news of Mr Pearson’s death sent shockwaves through the business community, leaving his former partners reeling. The tragedy was compounded by the revelation that his daughter, Zara, had passed away alongside him.Many in his inner circle had been holding out hope for his return, stubbornly convinced that the money laundering charges were nothing more than a calculated smear campaign designed to topple his empire.They viewed the legal battle as a personal vendetta rather than a criminal reality, and his sudden passing had turned their hope into a bitter sense of injustice.At the Carson family residence, the Carson elders were resting in the bedroom while the television was playing.Despite their long-standing distaste for the Pearson family’s unethical business practices, the Carson elders were genuinely stunned by the news.It was one thing to root for the downfall of a corrupt competitor, but the sheer finality of Mr Pearson dying alongside his daughter, Zara, was a level of tra

    In the hospital waiting room, Austin pulled out his phone and dialled the family lawyer’s number. When the call was connected, he said, “Uncle Gerry, my sister has finally come out of her coma, but her condition is critical.Would you be so kind as to come to the hospital immediately? We have to record her testimony regarding the prison before her condition changes. I want every detail of that brutality documented.”Uncle Gerry explained that he was currently in the middle of a court session but promised to head straight to the hospital as soon as the court adjourned.An hour had passed before Dr Graham walked into the hospital waiting room, his expression already delivering the news, and he said, “My heartfelt condolences to the Pearson family. We tried everything.”Mrs Pearson didn’t scream; she let go of her handbag, the dull thud of leather hitting the floor the only punctuation to Dr Graham’s words.Her eyes went vacant, staring at a point somewhere beyond the hospital walls.

    The following day, at the Phillips family residence, Mr Phillips Senior stood in the quiet of the garden, carefully pruning the flowers. The steady snip of his shears was the only sound as he tended to the blooms.As he worked, he was likely balancing the stillness of the garden against the heavy anxiety of his grandson’s upcoming court appearance.At the sound of the engine, he straightened up and walked slowly towards the driveway, his chest tightening with the anticipation of news regarding the trial.Mr Phillips Senior smiled broadly when he saw Lawyer Marcus stepping out of the car and said, “What a pleasant surprise, Marcus. How are you doing?”Lawyer Marcus forced a smile and replied, “All is well with us, Sir. How are you?” Mr Phillips Senior indicated that he was well, then he ushered him into the living room.Mrs Phillips Senior was in the living room with her son, Marvin, chatting and laughing.Lawyer Marcus greeted Mrs Phillips Senior with respect, then he sat on the sofa.

    Mrs Phillips looked at Lawyer Marcus with a confused expression and asked, “Why are you asking, Lawyer Marcus? The people who approached us were wearing prison wardens’ uniforms.”Lawyer Marcus looked at Mrs Phillips and replied, “If the prison warden personally handled a routine cell transfer for overcrowding, that is highly irregular. It is clear that this wasn’t an overflow issue, but it was an invitation for trouble.You need to understand the gravity of this, Mrs Phillips. By admitting that you struck Miss Pearson first, you have handed the prosecution exactly what they need. Instead of being a passive witness to your cousin’s rage, you are now the instigator.The judge won’t just see this as a slap; he will see it as the spark that started the entire assault.Please be mentally prepared, Mrs Phillips. This could easily lead to an increased sentence, potentially adding years to your current term.”In the meantime, I will sue the Department of Correctional Services for gross neglig

    At Jasper Finch’s apartment, Gemma was nestled in Jasper’s arms and said, “I don’t believe that Zara was so vicious. Why did she kill Payton’s son?”Jasper kissed Gemma’s forehead and replied, “I think Zara thought Rain would refuse to divorce Payton. Hence, she decided to kill Colton to force Rain’
