He glanced at Simon who was sitting in his box watching the entire drama unfold as if it had nothing to do with him and sighed. There must be nothing new about what was happening right now for this man. He glanced at Mike who was doing the questioning and he felt like he finally knew why Mike was better than himself, it was simple, he had better eyes. He dropped the pen in his hand in resignation and rested back in his chair determined to watch the rest of the court session, he had no other argument.“Miss Miller, no one is judging you, I only asked if you knew the man in the video,” Mike asked again, obviously unbothered by Miller’s weeping, as all the other people watching her were.

In Love Again 76: LANA’S THOUGHTS
From the top floor of a high-end restaurant, Lana who had been following the whole drama online sighed and put her iPad aside, “What a lively day,” She commented in a bored manner.She had always known Joshua was a scheming person, he had been scheming against the Walkers for a long time and had had his eyes on their family property as far back as when she and Simon were still in college but she never bothered about him because she knew he could not beat Simon. As long as Simon was still alive and kicking, a man like Joshua was not his match. Unlike Joshua who schemed senselessly, Simon was thorough. He was not just born into a rich family, he knew how to make wealth and use his wealth and power for his own benefit.The only thing about him was that he was not ambitious at all, which she didn’t mind when they were together as she was an ambitious one herself, it was not good for two spouses to be ambitious at the same time, if not they would dig out each other’s edges. So in her eyes

An apartment on the 22nd floor of a high-end community was in a mess, Clarisse ran around the house urgently, picking expensive things and stuffing them into her suitcase according to their sizes. When she was done, she hid the things which were too big to pack in a secluded place in the living room. She rushed to the bedroom and continued her frantic packing, she opened Josh’s drawer with force and the flower vase neatly placed on it fell with a crash which startled her. She paused for a second, then began to rummage through the drawer, packing the cash, and gold bars that Josh had into her handbag when she suddenly heard someone inputting the password to the house at the door. Her eyeballs shrank in fear, she shut the drawer, zipped her suitcases, and hid them under the bed alongside her handbag, looked around the room for any evidence of her packing but found none, she sighed and calmed her breathing. She grabbed Josh’s baseball bat as she heard the frantic footsteps of the perso

“Yes, I understand. Thank you for your help inspector.” Asher said and hung up the phone.He glanced at the beautiful garden from the balcony of the private restaurant and sighed before walking back into the room where Simon was having a celebration lunch with barrister Mike and Mr. Gabriel. The room was designed in a medieval Japanese style, with white curtains and a sliding door. The scent of fresh flowers blew into the room from the garden, the white curtains rustling with the breeze, and the three men sat around a rotating dining table filled with various Japanese dishes. This place was barrister Mike’s favorite place and to please him, Simon had invited him here for a ‘thank you’ meal.Simon looked up the moment Asher walked into the room, “How was it?” Simon asked and Asher nodded.“He's been arrested,” Asher answered and Simon nodded with satisfaction.“That’s good.

He knocked twice but received no response, and wanted to knock one more time when someone spoke up behind him.“Why are you here?” He heard Emily’s voice and turned around to see her stern unsmiling face staring at him seriously. She was obviously just coming back from her part-time job with the way he saw things.“Good evening aunt….”“What do you want?” Emily interrupted him directly, not caring for his greeting.“I…” He glanced at the dark house behind him, “I came to see Alvira?”“What for? You think you haven’t caused her enough damage a
