Everyone was thrilled, nearly jumping with excitement as the lock finally gave way and the safe door opened. Frederick felt like a triumphant victor, everything he had endured and all the trouble he had gone through seemed to culminate in this moment. Everything that belonged to Alexandra was now within his
reach.
However, as he opened the safe, his exhilaration evaporated abruptly upon discovering that it was empty, save for a single folder.
"What...?" Frederick said in desperation, grabbing the folder and rifling through the documents inside. His frown deepened and his face flushed with rage as he read what was inside. "No, that bitch!" Frederick yelled, throwing the documents to the floor. "This can't be!" He cursed vehemently, pulling at his hair and grinding his teeth in frustration.
"Frederick?" Vanessa asked, confused by his reaction and trying to approach him to calm him down.
The twins, driven by curiosity, picked up the folder to see what had angered their father.
Inside the folder were only two papers. One was a marriage certificate between Alexandra Anderson and Fredrick Turner, but it had the word "FALSIFIED" written in red marker across it.
Next to the certificate was a handwritten letter that read: "F. my does not exist here, therefore our marriage is null... You and your Vanessa will never get your hands on my daughter's money. Start looking for a job to support your family." "That witch..." Cassandra said as she read the letter.
"That woman knew that Dad was only after her money, that's why we're in this mess," Ernest said angrily, now understanding why they were in such a difficult situation.
"What are these papers? Vanessa took the folder, trembling with rage after reading them. "That bitch just won't stop bothering us, even after death," she complained, crumpling the papers and throwing them on the floor.
I guess
I'll have to force that idiot to give me the money," Frederick said, ceasing to pull at his hair.
"That's a good joke, dear," Vanessa said. "That idiot doesn't even see you as her father. Do you really think she'll give you all her money just because you ask for it?"
"She will if she doesn't want me to stick a knife in her belly and kill her child," Frederick said furiously, rushing out of the house.
"Frederick, wait..." Vanessa was terrified, recognizing the maniacal look in her husband's eyes. She had only seen that look when he decided to tamper with the car and kill Alexandra.
Ignoring her, Frederick left the house quickly, getting into his car and speeding towards the mute's house. He was determined to force her into giving him the money he believed was rightfully his. "Ernest, quickly follow him and stop him," Vanessa said anxiously as she heard the car speed away.
Why, Mom? I also want him to force that idiot to give us what we're owed."
"This isn't just about the money. If he ends up killing her, as he tried to before, he could end up in prison for real this time because that stupid woman isn't alone," Vanessa scolded.
"Kill?" Ernest and Cassandra repeated in alarm.
Without hesitation, Ernest ran to stop his father, taking his car to try and catch up with him.
Meanwhile, oblivious to the impending chaos at their home, Deborah was with Jayden at Cooper Group. The plan was to pick up some catalogs for ideas to decorate James's room. Then, they would visit department stores to see existing models. However, upon their arrival, Eric asked for their help.
He requested Jayden to join a meeting to review plans for a new large hotel they were about to construct. Deborah was asked to assist the finance department with some accounts and organize new invoices since the head was still away-they feared that the lack of organization could cause some of the papers to go missing.
