Chapter 21"Mom! Mom!" Liam called out as he headed toward her room.He had just seen the disturbing video of his father and couldn’t imagine what his mother was going through. As he stepped inside, he was met with a sight that took him aback—a woman he could barely recognize. Josephine sat there, her makeup ruined, her expression hollow with sorrow."Mom," he said softly, pulling her into a hug."Liam," she murmured, clinging to him.She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by her own choked sob. Though Josephine had put on a strong front in front of Lucas, deep down, she was shattered."Do you think this is karma?" she asked suddenly, shocking both herself and Liam.After the death of Christopher Wells—Lucas’s father, she and Lucas had grown distant, each consumed by their own thirst for power."Hey, look at me," Liam said gently, wiping away her tears. "It’s not karma, okay?"He paused, staring at her for a long moment before adding in a low tone, "It’s Lucas. His selfish

Chapter 23Josephine hurriedly walked out of the company building as though her life depended on it. She had initially thought of having a conversation with Lucas on the way to control the ongoing situation, but after receiving the latest information, nothing seemed more important.***"Good day, ma'am. How may I help you?" the receptionist asked as Josephine stood in front of the counter.Presently, Josephine was at the Royal Suite Restaurant, one of the most prominent restaurants in the city. It was known not only for hosting elite customers but also for its high level of security. The restaurant provided a secured place to talk freely, with soundproof rooms and tight security measures ensuring privacy."Ah, yes. A reservation under the name John," Josephine said, managing to control her racing heart."Okay, ma'am. Give me a second," the receptionist said, offering Josephine a sweet smile as she quickly tapped on the keyboard in front of her."Here we go, ma'am. A

Chapter 25Hailey stared, bewildered, at the woman standing before her and her boss.She looked exactly like the picture Hailey had once seen in Alex’s office.'She hadn’t aged a bit, how was that even possible?' Hailey thought.Hailey’s eyes flickered to Alex. His expression was anything but blank, and relief washed over her. Thank God, she thought. I was beginning to think he was broken, that he didn’t feel anything at all.The woman’s hands trembled, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.“Alex…” she whispered, uncertain whether to step closer or stay still.The shock on Alex’s face had already shifted, hardening into pure anger.“You’re Alex’s mother?” Hailey blurted, unable to stop herself.The woman’s tearful eyes moved to her, and she gave a small nod.“Alex,” she called again, taking a cautious step forward, holding her breath.“Don’t you dare take another step.”Alex’s voice thundered through the room, cold and sharp. The sheer force of it made Hailey flinch where she stood.“W

Chapter 27“I can’t wait for you to be out,” Violet said softly to her mother, who sat opposite her.“Me too, Violet. After all these years, I’m finally going to be free,” Selena replied, tears streaming down her face. They had received the news of the evidence that could change Selena fate a few days ago, and even now it still felt unreal.She shook her head in disbelief. “I still can’t believe Lucas had the guts to kill his own father. To what extent is he willing to go?”“Honestly, Mom, I can believe it,” Violet said, her voice tight as she remembered the day he had accused her mother on live television.“Vio… I’m so happy,” Selena whispered, her smile trembling beneath her tears.“Me too, Mom,” Violet replied, reaching across the table to squeeze her hand.***Lucas stepped out of the car, his chest heavy. Today, his fate would be decided.He stood still for a moment in front of the courthouse, simply staring at the building as a storm of emotions churned inside him.Then, the bli

Chapter 29“Give that back!” Josephine, who had just recovered from her shock, said, stretching out her hand in an attempt to snatch the photo from Lucas.“Your reaction shows me all I need to know,” Lucas said as he folded the paper and slipped it into his pocket. “What connection do you and Alfred have?”“There is no connection,” Josephine answered instantly, sighing. She took a deep breath in an effort to compose herself.“You know what, Lucas? You can very well keep the photo and your questions to yourself. I have no interest in keeping you engaged. Since you will be locked up all your life, you do need something to ponder, or you might lose your mind.”Scoffing, Lucas couldn’t help but clench his fist. “Now, my properties…”“Didn’t you get the memo? You will never get them again. Not ever.”“You arrogant bastard,” Josephine sneered.“I’m glad Selena finally got her justice and Violet her revenge on you, Lucas…” Josephine said.“Same here,” Lucas said, interrupting Josephine as h
