“Thank you, James

“Don’t mention it, kiddo,” James said with a smile. It was hard to believe that this man could ever be sobenign.

His soft tone made Stephanie furrow her brows. As much as she didn’t want to accept it, the truth waslaid out in the open. Sooner or later, she would have to accept James as her father.

After hanging up Stephanie’s call, James called Carlos. But it was

Frankie who answered.

“James, I’m sorry, but Carlos is in a meeting right now. I will take your message to him if it’s urgent.”

James wanted to talk to Carlos himself, but the matter was too urgent to wait. He feigned a calm toneand informed, “Tell him that his aunt

Glenda was framed by Debbie and has been arrested by the police. The

Elliot family members are my friends. If he still sees me as his father who had raised him for the pastthirty years, he’ll bail her out.”

Sarcasm laced Frankie’s eyes, yet he maintained a professional tone.

“I’LL pass on your message, James. Is there anything else I can help you with?”

“Stephanie looked after him for two years when he was in a coma. He should be grateful to her. Shemight have done some things, but considering what she has done for him in the past, he shouldn’tabandon her at a time like this.”

“Noted.”

“That’s all.” James hung up without waiting for Frankie’s response.

Carlos’ meeting ended soon, and Frankie told him everything James had said.

He took his phone from Frankie and sneered at it, “What’s he been up to lately?” He assumed that bynow, the old snake should have known he had gotten his memory back.

From his message, Carlos could tell that James was still pretending to not know that he rememberedeverything; he was trying to maximize the benefit of his identity as Carlos’ father.

Frankie replied, “On the surface, it might Look Like he’s doing nothing unusual. But he has beensecretly transferring his assets overseas.

Some of them have been transferred into Glenda‘s relatives’ names.”

‘Transferring assets?’ Carlos lit a cigarette and observed sarcastically, “He has cheated many peopleoff their wealth. Isn’t he worried that it might break his arms?”

The bribes James had taken from many and the money he had embezzled had reached billions ofdollars, which was enough for him to squander for the rest of his pitiful life.

“Glenda has filed for a divorce. She must have done it to be with

James. Carlos, what should we do next?”

Carlos fell silent. He was thinking about Angus.

Glenda was evil, but Angus was an honest and decent man. He had never done harm to anybody.Despite suspecting that his wife was having an affair, he had been pretending to be ignorant of it for so

many years, all for their children’s sake. That was the only reason why the Elliot family had alwaysbeen so peaceful in the past.
