Jeremy, I'm deeply disappointed in you," his father declared sternly. "Using your brother's office to engage in something illegal? We'll discuss your punishment at home. And you," he said, turning to Cameron, "do you realize you could lose your professional license for this? Extorting this woman and deceiving my son into stealing his brother's seal?"

"Tch... what's it to you, old man? You should just go back to the nursing home you escaped from."

"Show some respect, lawyer. While my father may be retired, I can definitely ensure you're banned from practicing law. Mary, call security."

"Right

away, boss," the secretary replied, reaching for her phone.

"Wait, I-I think this is just a misunderstanding," Cameron stammered, beginning to panic as the situation spiraled out of control.

"Now give me back that keychain you stole," Deborah demanded, extending her right hand.

"This wasn't part of the deal."

"The deal was illegal to begin with," Christian said, stepping into the room and standing beside Deborah. Tell me something-why are you forcing my client to sign dubious documents without her lawyer present?

"This... this is a trap...!" Cameron muttered, eyes wide with fear as he tried to bolt, but he froze when he saw more people blocking the exit.

"Obviously," Jayden said, entering the room with a smirk. "My father and Mr. August Sr. are friends. When they heard this signing would take place in your office, they were suspicious-especially since your older brother and the actual owner of this office were in court at that very moment, so they agreed to help us investigate this irregularity." Jayden slipped an arm around his partner as he spoke.

"You wretched bitch, this was your plan all along?"

[Obviously.] Deborah replied, her expression hardening

"You you ratted-me out?" Cameron's voice shook.

[Of course, and now I hope you understand that nothing will stop me. I'm going to reclaim everything those thieves stole from me.] Deborah stepped forward until she was inches from him snatching the keychain from his hand. [Because there's nothing wrong with taking back what's rightfully mine.]

"You damn bitch..." Cameron snarled, clenching his fist to strike her, but he was quickly subdued as several officers burst into the room. "No! Damn it, let me go!"

"It's a good day indeed," the detective remarked with a mocking grin as Cameron was restrained." Another one of those scumbags caught. And to top it off, we've nabbed Mr. Cameron Palmer-or should I say, Mr. Alan Miller."

""What

"That's right," the detective continued, his smile widening. "Your rat-like face seemed familiar, so we did some digging. Turns out, 'Cameron Palmer' is a fake identity. The real Palmer lawyer has been dead for over ten years, meaning you've been impersonating a dead man and practicing law illegally."

Cameron's face went pale as he was handcuffed and led away. "Wait... you can't do this! If you let me go, I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Oh, you'll tell us everything, all right," the detective replied with a sarcastic edge. "But that doesn't mean I'm letting a rat roam free in my city. Take him away, boys, and give him the VIP treatment."

Cameron tried to shout and struggle, but his words fell on deaf ears as he was shoved into a police car.

"Father, I... I'm sorry..." Jeremy whispered, his voice thick with regret.

"Jeremy, I'm disappointed that you let the lure of easy money cloud your judgment. But despite everything, your own sense of right and wrong made you hesitate," his father said, allowing his son to embrace him. "I hope this lesson stays with you." "Yes," Jeremy replied, smiling through his tears.

"Heh... looks like your case just got a lot more interesting." Jayden said, noticing how Deborah held the keychain close to her heart.

"What do you mean?" Deborah asked, looking up at him.

"Deborah, Judge August Hunter Jr. will be presiding over the trial," Christian informed her.

"That's right, Jayden added. "Though I have to admit, I was debating whether to take your case or pass it to a colleague, but now that we're caught up in this drama... I'm definitely sticking around to see how this story ends."

"Not to mention," the detective chimed in with a chuckle, "I'd love to see the look on their faces when they find out they're down a lawyer just three days before the trial."
