“I'm sorry that you're going through this tough time,” Alexander said. “But at least now you won't have to deal
with Chloe’s craziness anymore.”
“Only on visiting days,” Olivia added, doing her best to bring humor into a serious situation.
This made a strangled laugh escape from Felix’s mouth. He thanked the two for trying to make him feel better.
Then, Olivia and Alexander walked down the sidewalk, their arms brushing every few steps. Neither of them
knew that they were both doing this on purpose just to feel the warmth of the other's skin.
*Olivia*
As Alexander and | walked toward Sarah and Adam, my stomach swooped when | saw that Sarah was crying.
Adam had his arm around his sister's shoulders as she sobbed into her hands. “I want justice for my boy!” she
yelled as her tears splashed onto the sidewalk, creating a small puddly around her feet. “Why is Chloe still in the
interrogation room? Why isn’t she behind bars yet?”
“Sarah...” Adam said, his voice pained. “We are so much closer to getting justice for Russell than we were
yesterday. The police are still fathering all the evidence that they need. You will get justice for your son. | promise
you.” Adam looked up, and when he spotted Alexander and me, his shoulder/slumped in relief. “Look, here are
the people of the hour now. Don’t you want to thank Alexander and Olivia. They are the only reason why Chloe
and her mother were arrested.”

Sarah looked up, and when she saw us, she let out a loud cry and threw arms around us. She thanked Alexander
andepeatedly and kept saying how grateful she was for us.
Adam smiled gratefully at us and put his hand on his sister's shoulder. “Con, now. Today isn’t a day for
tears. If Russell was here, he would want us to celebrate. Why don’t we all go out to dinner? It's been a long day,
and we could all use something to cat.”
But it was like Sarah hadn’t heard a word her brother said. She rested her head on Alexander's shoulder and
began to cry even harder. | could barely understand her, but | thought she was saying something about hoping
we didn’t think she was ungrateful.”
| blushed under all her praise and patted her gently on the back. “Don’t worry, Sarah. We know how grateful you
are. And it wasn’t only us who made it possible for Chloe and her mother to be arrested. We couldn't have done
it without your valuable information.” | paused and took a breath. “Chloe and her mother will be punished for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir crimes. They will no longer get away with their sins because of their family name.” Just when Alexander and
| pulled away from the older woman's embrace, we heard a woman's voice from the side of us. “I wouldn't be so
sure about that.”
The four of us turned to see a woman in a white sedan. Her window was rolled down, and her black designer
sunglasses were lowered to the bridge of her nose. The woman's dark hair was long, sleek, and shiny. Her light
makeup was perfectly applied, and her white blouse was crisp and bright.
| stepped forward to confront the woman, wanting to know why she’ had said something like that, but Alexander
grabbed my arm to stop
me.
“I recognize her,” he muttered. “She’s connected to the Windsor’s in

sway.”
“Do you think she’s here to defend Chloe?” | asked as my pulse. quickened. “Is this the grand defense that she’s
been waiting for?”
“Don’t worry, the evidence is stacked against her,” Alexander assuredin a quiet voice. “No one can save her
now.”
The four of us walked away from the impeccably dressed woman. We met Aiden, Ava, Gai, and Richard by the
white van. Ava arranged for Alexander andto sit alone in the very back again, but | found that | didn’t mind it
that much this time.
| crossed my arms after | sat down and thought about that woman we had seen in the white sedan. What if there
was a way she could get Chloe and her mother out of jail?
As if sensing that | was worried, Alexander gently touched my face, rubbing his warm thumb against my cheek.
For a moment, | closed my eyes and leaned into his touch, but then my eyes flew open when | forced myself to
remember he was my boss.
| turned away from him and made sure that when we got to the restaurant, | was sitting on the opposite side of
the table from him.
Once everyone got their meal, Sarah said that she had an announcement to make. As she stood, | noticed that
she seemed a little bit happier than before. “I've decided that I'm going to live with Kelly now that | don’t have to
hide from the Windsor’s anymore.”
Even though Kelly had betrayed us, | knew that she had only done it because she had been manipulated by
Chloe. | found that | was glad that Sarah and Kelly had each other and that they could help one another deal with
the grief of losing Russell.
When dinner was almost over, Kelly walked in with an uncertain

smile. After she hugged Sarah-the embrace lasted for a long time, and | couldn't tell which woman needed the
hug more-she apologized to us for what she did. She said that the doctor had prescribed her medication to help,
and she had a meeting set up with a therapist tomorrow. We forgave her. | was happy to see that she no longer
tried to hide the scars on her face.
The rest of the day was a blur after that. We picked up our luggage from the hotel, then started the long drive
back to New York. | chose to sit in the back of my car that Aiden was driving so that | could avoid Alexander. Gai

we stopped at a fast food restaurant for a quick dinner. When Ava asked if | wanted anything, | waved her off,

Or maybe both.
