"I don’t care, all those news articles must disappear from social media immediately!" William ordered Samuel over the phone.A news story claimed that Laura, now married to William Anderson, had become an arrogant woman who heartlessly allowed her older sister to remain in prison, possibly facing a life sentence. Her parents, Shofia and Beckett, had pleaded with both Laura and William to help release Michelle, even if it meant accepting some difficult conditions—especially now that Michelle's mental state was disturbed, and she had become capable of harming herself.Shofia and Beckett only wanted Michelle to stay alive, but William and Laura refused to grant their request. In fact, Laura and William had completely cut off access to them.Was there truly no chance for Michelle? Was it wrong for Laura and William to act this way?Many believed that Laura had done the right thing, considering Michelle had planned to kill her several times and had even made serious accusations against he

Beckett had grown utterly sick of having to constantly abide by Marko’s rules. In his eyes, he was more entitled to his late wife’s assets—even though it was clear he had been having an affair with Shofia. In fact, Beckett felt he had been forced to marry Vivian, and to him, there was nothing wrong in simply taking advantage of her. It was Vivian’s fault for still wanting to marry him, even going so far as to propose first—until Beckett got her pregnant.Their marriage was the result of an arrangement between both their parents. Vivian had only followed her parents’ wishes, yet she still blamed herself for failing to make Beckett love her. When she found out that Beckett had a child with Shofia—born just a year apart from hers—Vivian was furious. The betrayal pushed her into depression and eventually led to a heart attack.Realizing this, Vivian drafted a will that named Laura as the sole beneficiary. Fortunately, throughout their marriage, Vivian had never granted Beckett full contro

Laura had accepted all the assets given by her grandfather, Dominic. After that, Laura would be introduced as the heir to the Ashford Legacy company. A week after the handover, the news had spread widely among business circles. The Ashford Legacy was about to officially introduce the heir to all the assets and shares owned by Dominic Brown.Many believed that it would be his son who inherited everything, but they also heard that Dominic’s relationship with his son was strained. Even so, they thought the son should still have a right to it, but ultimately, it was Dominic’s decision to make.Meanwhile, Michelle was working on her plan to escape from prison, together with Ivana, who remained loyal in helping her. Inside the prison, a commotion broke out during a routine weekly cleaning event held in a wide open yard. Ivana knew exactly when this would happen, as it was a regular occurrence. What started as a calm cleaning event quickly escalated when Ivana struck another inmate—one known

Shofia received a message from an unknown number. At first, Michelle's biological mother was going to ignore the message, but the contents made her eyes widen in shock. She immediately rushed into her room.The message read: “Mother, contact me. — Michelle.”“Hello, darling... Are you okay? Where are you, Michelle? Tell me, I’ll come pick you up right away!” Shofia asked eagerly, desperate to see her daughter and make sure she was safe.“I’m fine. But for now, we shouldn’t meet. I’m sure you’re being watched—by the police or by William’s people,” Michelle replied.“Alright. But you really are okay, aren’t you? Who are you with now?” Shofia asked again.“There’s someone. He helped me escape from prison. Mother, I need money. Please send me two million dollars in cash. I’m sure Father keeps that kind of money in his study. That way, no one will be suspicious, unlike if you withdraw it from the bank. I need to settle this grudge first. After that, I don’t care about anything else,” Mic

A lawyer arrived at the police station to secure Ivana’s release. Every effort was made by the attorney appointed by Beckett to help Michelle’s friend escape from prison. The lawyer, acting on Beckett's instructions, asked that his involvement remain confidential. Finally, Ivana was freed from prison, where Mason was already waiting for her outside with a triumphant smile."You're finally back, Ivana..." Mason welcomed her freedom with joy."Is that woman with you?" Ivana whispered while hugging Mason.Mason nodded and pointed to a car parked across the street from the police station."Excuse me, I have a message from the one who ordered me to help with your release," said the lawyer appointed by Beckett, handing over a small piece of paper containing a message to take good care of Michelle."I know. That woman will be safe with me," Ivana replied, making Mason smile.The lawyer then drove off, his task complete.Ivana entered the car and found Michelle sitting calmly in the back seat
