Mag-log inAfter Chuck connected some wires, they located the listening devices under the bed and under the chair."I've seen this somewhere," Hadley said, trying to remember where."Where?" Asher asked.After a few seconds, Hadley finally remembered. "At the Beck Villa. Yes, that's where I saw this.""That means it was Laura all along, I was right," Harry chimed in.Cait yelled in anger at that moment, "How dare she? I'm calling the police.""Show proof that Laura is the one. I can't just believe you just because you said Laura is the one, Hadley. Show proof," Andrew said."Here's proof," someone suddenly said from behind.When everyone turned, it was Ercell. Hadley's eyes lit up in surprise on finally seeing Ercell and she ran to hug her. After hugging for a few seconds, Hadley finally released her."When did you come back?" Hadley asked."I came back two days ago. As suspected, Laura was the one who asked Jemima Rexa to frame you. I have the evidence here. I went to the Beck Villa to confront
Jude had come to a painful realization: Hadley was a ticking time bomb. "She needs to face the consequences for what she's done, but we can't be the ones to do it," Jude said in a somber and serious tone. “She had no idea where the stuff was, and keeping her around would only make matters more difficult.Instead of causing Hadley any issues, each of these occurrences had resulted in defeats for their side.Anger blazed in Laura’s eyes. "Obviously, Dad, we can't get our hands dirty. But I've got a plan, and I'll take care of it myself."Jude knew his daughter had her talents, but he felt it important to put down some ground rules. "I've already told you, Lau—Drew isn't the best option. If you're prepared to give him up, I can arrange for you to marry Pedro. He's got a prestigious history and is certainly the appropriate match for you.""You mean his father's death, right?" mocked Laura.Jude’s eyes grew wide with astonishment. "You know about that?""Obviously. When I first fell for Dr
Derek glanced at the female reporter, his gaze narrowing quickly. She had been influencing public opinion against Hadley since the start of the live broadcast. "Wait for the official website update, and you'll know the truth," Derek clarified.The female reporter refused to give up. She remarked, "Captain Larsen, isn't there some inside story here? Why was she abruptly freed yet she is a murderer? And the individual who picked her up was driving a limited-edition luxury automobile..."The reporter didn't finish her sentence, but it left the audience to imagine the remainder.There was a lot of activity in the live conversation. "Is there a potential deal? For the privileged, sites like this mean nothing.""Wait, is Hadley even rich? The cop claimed they'd divulge the truth, so why is this reporter so relentless?"Derek squinted at her."I've been watching you steer the narrative against Hadley ever since the live show began. I now have cause to suspect you of defamation. You'll have t
Hadley wanted to laugh, and the reason was obvious. In this world, there were far too few people who genuinely upheld justice."Marlon, does it really matter if I confess or not? Do you think you can fight me for very long as Jude’s lackey?In these circles of power, everyone is merely attempting to rise higher. Are you more brutal than Jude? You make things simpler for him, to put it politely. You're merely a disposable pawn if we're being completely honest."No one was more crafty than Jude.It would be difficult for her to escape unharmed.However, she was ready.Jude had a consistent flow of money and was in charge of multiple criminal groups. There were plenty of individuals willing to carry out his orders, so he remained undercover.He was now making every effort to live a respectable life and repair his reputation.However, his history could not be erased.Marlon froze. He gazed at her serene, beautiful features and clear eyes. He had never met someone like her before.There was
Olivia gave a nod. "Yes, I'm accountable. However, it's peculiar. After taking the medication, he hasn't woken up at all. Perhaps I was mistaken. The poisoning appears to be quite serious.”Laura was so shocked that she couldn't speak.She had an epiphany.That horrible woman was doing it on purpose.Sure enough, she saw Andrew’s penetrating stare on her.Startled, she hastily added, "Drew, I was simply too anxious. I'm terribly worried about Harry. And no matter what, Hadley is still a part of the Beck family. I don't want anything awful to happen to her either. I hope Harry wakes up soon."Laura’s reasoning was on point. Andrew’s countenance remained impassive, not betraying his emotions.Over the past two years, she had never been able to figure out what Andrew was thinking.At that moment, the police arrived.Laura’s expression shifted. The police actually had come.Andrew stepped up and gave Olivia a serious look. "Ms. Deetz, please take care of Harry."Olivia should be able to b
"Huh, why would I want to kill your son?" Hadley asked, glancing at Cait. “Did he do anything to me? Why would I want to murder him?”Hadley maintained her composure.Thinking of her kid, who was still unconscious, Cait choked on her words. Her emotions raced out of control. Smack!She gave Hadley a forceful slap across the face.Hadley’s head tilted slightly from the impact, rage boiling in her gaze. She had been hit three times since the day of her birth. Mallory twice, and Cait once.Her slightly lowered gaze gave a touch of malicious purpose."A vicious woman! What sort of mindset is this? The medication you gave my kid is what caused him to get into this mess. How are you able to be so cruel? My daughter is still quite small, and I only have one son. How could you be so callous?”With a surge of rage, Hadley accepted the slap.When Cait noticed her lack of regret, she lifted her hand to strike her once more.Asher intervened this time, obstructing her. He had a lethal danger in
"Let's avoid wasting each other's time because you detest me so much. Tonight, I'll move out. I'll see you tomorrow at the City’s court." Hadley said.She then made her way upstairs to gather her belongings. She was unable to bear to spend any more time at the home that had once been hers and Andre
"Drew, hahaha! Stop! Haha!”Hadley waited at the door, her heart hurting, as Laura’s lighthearted voice wafted out.It never occurred to her that she’ll return back from the hospital three days later and see this. As if leaving her to die in the flames wasn’t enough for them.Laura was blushing as
"Mrs. Shaw, the office is on fire!" Panic cracked in the secretary's voice. "Mr. Shaw is in his office. I've called several times, but now he's not picking up his phone, and he's not answering the door."Hadley gasped for air. The glass of wine she had been drinking, fell down and broke on the floo
"Don't get too excited, Hadley. You are merely Andrew’s ex-wife, and tonight he'll purchase me the most amazing purple diamond and pop the question.”"Really? I'm trying to find it.” Hadley gave a smirk.After a brief delay, she shut the car door firmly and departed from the Shaw Group.Kingsley Fe
