"Eh? Ah... um... sorry, Mom," Jayden said, embarrassed, as he turned to greet her.
"My love, don't scold him," Eric said, approaching to hug his wife. "He was a bundle of nerves because he was worried about Deborah and James. At work, he spilled his coffee twice because he was distracted," "Dad..." Jayden complained, blushing as Deborah laughed.
"Well, in that case, I forgive him," Samantha said, letting herself be pampered by her husband.
"Did you do that?" Deborah asked Jayden.
"Um.... well-" he began awkwardly but was cut off by a kiss. "Well, maybe I did," he admitted, making everyone laugh. "So, tell me, how did it go? What happened with that guy?"
"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan," Deborah said:
"Though, son, you owe me a huge favor for this," Samantha said. "I was really holding myself back from leaving my hiding place and hitting that supposed lawyer because he kept insulting Deborah." "Eh? Was he that rude?" Jayden asked Deborah, looking into her eyes.
"Yes, but don't worry, love," she replied, taking his hands. "His words didn't affect me because I expected! something like that from him. I recognized him... that lawyer is one of Frederick's friends who used to attend the parties they organized at their house." "You must have had a horrible childhood," Eric said, concerned.
"Yes, but that's all in the past now. I just want to focus on the good things happening in my life right now."
"That shows what a great woman you are," Samantha said, approaching to hug her. Despite her strong appearance, she knew those wounds still hurt and took time to heal.
"Boss," they saw the bodyguard approaching with a USB drive for Jayden. "Here's the footage from all the security cameras we placed at the location."
"Excellent," Jayden said, gripping the drive firmly. "Now we'll give this to Christian and also-"
"Here," Deborah interrupted, handing him a card. "He told me to meet him at this place tomorrow at 12."
"Wait... I know this judge," Eric said, looking at the address.
"In that case, Dad, do you think you can call him and ask for help?"
"Of course, he owes me a few favors
"But Eric, don't you remember that August retired last year? So, it's most likely his son who's in charge. now."
"I don't lose anything by making a call, do I?"
"That would be a great help, Eric," Deborah said, smiling at him.
With that, they went inside the house to eat and wait for Christian.
Christian arrived later because he was busy with some paperwork.

Once he joined them, they watched the security footage and planned their next move.
On the other hand, Cameron arrived late to meet his clients due to some minor stomach issues.
"You're late, there's almost no time left for the visit," Frederick complained.
"Something came up," Cameron responded, annoyed and slightly embarrassed.
"And what about her?" asked
"It was a success."
-
Vanessa, who was already looking uncomfortable in her prison uniform.
"Really?" the couple asked, astonished at the same time.
"Yeah... I told you it would be easy," he smirked, "although it took me a while to convince her because she started being demanding, saying she'd sign only after I gave her grandfather back." "Tch... damn it," Frederick frowned.
"But you obviously refused, right? Vanessa asked, crossing her arms.
"Unfortunately, I gave in to her demands because she was stubborn, saying we'd end up in court otherwise."
"Why? She deserves to suffer for not giving us her fortune from the start," she complained.
"Calm down, Vanessa, don't get worked up. The important thing is that we're free now, and we'll deal with that spoiled brat later."
"I guess..
"Cheer up, Nessa, Besides, I know how we'll get our revenge. I've been looking into where we can sell her little bastard to make some money and also make her pay for getting us into prison." "Oh... how romantic you are, my love."
"And I hope some of that money from the sale is for me," Cameron added.
"Obviously," Frederick said, grinning maliciously.
