"You took what's mine." The Skagen Abode property - that's what he meant. Zion Flake, if I had the name right. A grifter with a cheap suit and a greedier soul, tangled in some real estate Ponzi scheme. He'd wanted that land, planned to bleed it dry at the bank. However, in this life, I'd swooped in, jacked the price sky-high, and ruined his little game. So he'd come for me, thought he could squeeze the cash straight from Lucas.

He squeezed her hand briefly, a silent acknowledgment of the bond that had carried them through every threat. The prosecutor rose, commanding attention. “Your Honor, the evidence clearly demonstrates that Katrina Andre orchestrated multiple attacks against Mr. Damon Draven and his family, including abductions, threats, and attempts to manipulate corporate affairs.

One could say that, in order to make sure Carol saw Adam’s true colors sooner, Titus was coming up with all sorts of methods. The truth was Adam had already woken up a year ago. In order to accumulate funds, he repeatedly had Carrie deceive Carol. He established his own account in a Swisserland bank with that money. And then, he set up an investment company using a new identity. However, his investment company was essentially an empty shell.

He was way too clever for a damn mindless beast! “Well, if I saw it with my own eyes, I mean, then there would be no denying it.” He jumped out of his chair, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me out of the house. A large black vehicle pulled up in front of us and he opened the door for me to climb in before running around the back and joining me on the other side. I felt incredibly awkward! No dhampir ever climbed into a car in the kingdom! Cars were reserved for vampires only! I didn’t want him to see that I was watching him closely as he manoeuvred the car down the dirt road, but it was fascinating!

"Ladies and Gentlemen. May I announce to you that a flash drive containing documents that stated that LAVEDA CONTINENTAL is yet to deposit their monthly remittance into TLMC's account was stolen from my husband's office? And it also contained a two billion dollars fraud from the same account last year". Emma announced. She stood up from her seat and saunter around the conference room while she spoke.

"Is that what you have in mind for me?" Back when they were first married, Audie and her late husband were in debt due to gambling losses; it was Gama who saved them. And now that Gama was left with nothing after three years of his company going bankrupt, his mother-in-law kicked him out today.

Saka explained. It was indeed Saka who exposed all of Rendi's crimes. He did it because he was annoyed that Rendi tried to harass Karina. He did need a little time until everything was done and he made the bomb. Saka is satisfied with the performance of his trusted people. Now Rendi's life is ruined. The man was reported to be many of his own employees. Also the treasures they were proud of were confiscated and frozen by the bank. So don't mess with the Delux boss, right?
