During the party, Jayden, Christian, and Nicholas stepped out onto the balcony to talk privately. "Wow....who would've thought something that seemed so simple could get this crazy?" Jayden sighed.

"Definitely," Christian agreed. "I'm trying to stay calm, but I'm actually pretty scared. A lot of lawyers have disappeared when their cases crossed paths with that guy. And I... I can't bear the thought of something happening to Caroline." "Is that why you rushed to buy the house?" Nicholas asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, the security here convinced me."

"Relax, buddy," Jayden said. "I doubt he'd risk attacking one of my properties. My family has the resources to play this game of war with his group for a long time."

"Even so, Jayden, don't take any unnecessary risks," Christian urged.

"Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself and-"Jayden stifled a yawn. "Well, it's getting late," he

said.

"You've caught the pregnancy symptoms, huh?" Nicholas joked, noticing Deborah had also yawned.

"Hehe, I'm already looking forward to syncing up with my Carrie."

"You two have been taking your sweet time."

"Well, now that things are stable, I'll talk to her about having our first baby. That way, James will have a friend in the near future." "Or a girlfriend," Jayden added, amused.

"Well, I think the party is just about over. Tomorrow will be a tough day since we're interrogating that idiot," Nicholas said seriously.

"Keep me updated. I won't be able to join because I have an important project at the company." Jayden said, frustrated.

"Don't worry, we'll keep you in the loop, and I'll investigate what you asked me to," Christian assured him.

With that, they returned inside, and after a few more minutes, the party ended, and each guest headed home to rest.

The next morning, Jayden and Deborah had their usual breakfast together.

"So, what are your plans for today?" he asked Deborah

[I think I'll be working all morning. I have to help Mr. John with his invoices.]

"So you'll have a busy morning

[Yes. I'm trying to get ahead of my work since Caroline will be busy with her mom and mother-in-law with the move. I'll help her settle everything in the house tomorrow.] "Well, I'll see if I can join you for lunch, but I can't promise anything."

[Don't worry, we know if you can't make it, it's because your work is complicated and you can't miss any

details"

"Thanks for being so understanding, Debbie, and remember, no...."

[No overexerting myself and make sure to take my meds on time.] She was amused.

"I love you," he said, kissing her before finishing his coffee.

I love you too.]

With that, Jayden left the house as Deborah waved goodbye. When his car disappeared from view, she returned inside.

As she had planned, she set up her things on the table and began working on her computer.

Hours passed as she calmly reviewed and organized the documents sent by her client.

She sighed and frowned, a bit worried about the interrogations,

After everything that happened yesterday, Christian had only told her they had interrogated her half-siblings. Today, they would be interrogating Frederick.

She felt she should be there to hear his confession, but she didn't go for her own mental health. Part of her wanted to hear the truth to end the uncertainty, but another part feared knowing it."

The thought of him confessing to how and why he killed her mother filled her with rage, but she tried to breathe and relax for James's sake, knowing it wasn't good to get worked up.

She took deep breaths to calm down. Once she did, she focused back on her work.

Just as she finished sending the organized documents to her client, a text message arrived.

Caroline: x-x I'm exhausted. Remind me why I have so much stuff?

Reading that, she couldn't help but laugh, imagining her friend complaining at that moment.
