Nicholas was crying as he finished reading the letter, and when he looked up, he saw that Deborah was also shedding tears, so he immediately ran to hug her,

She was his baby... his biological daughter.

Alexandra had never been involved with that man, and how he realized how foolish he had been to believe Frederick's lies. If he had ignored them, perhaps his beloved would still be alive, and they would have raised their little girl together, preventing Deborah from having the speech problems she faced.

Now he felt miserable because everything that had happened was his fault.

"Deborah, you..." he began to speak, though he had a lump in his throat that prevented him from

continuing.

[She also left me a letter where she told me the truth... you're my dad, not Frederick.] Deborah was crying with happiness because there was no blood relation with the person who had tortured her since her mother's death. The question of why her dad hated her was gone as they weren't related, and she no longer felt any remorse for what she had been doing against those monsters.

Nicholas was overjoyed by the discovery, but that happiness was quickly replaced by anger because that idiot had stolen his daughter.

[Dad?] Deborah asked, seeing that he had gone still.

"That idiot knew," he whispered, now understanding why Frederick had been trying to get rid of him at any cost. "Deborah, let me see the evidence Alexandra left you."

Deborah immediately handed him the box with the documents for him to review.

I brought it to give to Christian.]

"You did well, my daughter," he said, reading the documents.

Upon reviewing them, he saw that Alexandra had conducted her own investigation into Frederick's past. and discovered that he was a professional scammer. Along with Vanessa, he specialized in stealing money from the poor or those who were alone. These victims would disappear mysteriously, never to be seen again after losing all their assets,

Another paper listed the names of all the corrupt friends who helped him, showing that many people were involved in the scheme.

The next document detailed how Frederick, with the help of some hospital workers, had managed to enter Mr. Anderson's room to kill him and make it look like a natural death due to respiratory failure.

Lastly, there was a folder with two paternity tests performed on Deborah, one comparing her blood with Frederick's and the other with Nicholas's blood.

After seeing all the documents, Nicholas only felt a strong desire to have a weapon in their hands to end Frederick's life, but he tried to calm himself and use all this evidence to bring him down legally and properly.

"Deborah, let's take all this to Christian. We can take advantage of the fact that they're still interrogating. Frederick," he said, taking her hand.

When they arrived at the room, Nicholas took her to the adjacent room so she could observe the interrogation without being exposed to Frederick or his potential threats.

Deborah stayed with an officer who was taking notes on the entire Interrogation, so she limited herself to listening and watching what was happening.

"Can I leave now?" Frederick asked, annoyed. "What you're doing is illegal, detaining me against my will without any real charges," he declared arrogantly, knowing that all his old friends had erased those leads, so he was free of any blame. The detective was furious. That damned man was telling the truth, and without concrete evidence or a good lead, they couldn't keep him in jail for long. He and his son were there for disturbances, so they couldn't hold him much longer. 1 don't care how untouchable you think you are. You know what we're saying is true," Christian said angrily.

"Say what you want, kid, but I'm not like that idiot Roger to lose to a rookie in court," the blonde declared."

I am untouchable and..."

At that moment, the door burst open, revealing Nicholas.

"Nicholas, what..."

"John Sawyer, lawyer, Marlon Cladstone, judge; Eugene Sinclair, police officer; Anthony Baker, banker; Martin Rivers, assistant commissioner, and Carla Jones, government official," Nicholas declared, reading from a paper in his hands. "Who are these people?" Christian asked.

Frederick turned pale as he heard the names of all his friends.

"I know some of those names. They were recently arrested because they were discovered to be corrupt," the detective informed, taking the sheet Nicholas offered. "Hah... so that's why you're not talking. Do you think your friends will support you?" he said, amused by the look of hatred Frederick gave him."Don't worry, I'll talk to the detectives handling their cases so we can cooperate. We now have the leads we needed to imprison everyone for life."

"And I also have something else," Nicholas said. "Here's the proof to lock up this scum and his entire family."

"You wish, idiot! But you don't have anything against me."

"Yes, I do, and you know it. Regardless of the years that have passed, you can still be judged for taking advantage of a girl who had just lost her biological mother to kidnap her, pretending to be her father to steal her entire inheritance and surname, which you continue to even now,"

"What..." Christian said, surprised, taking the papers to read them before passing them to the detective.

"That's not...

""Here are the DNA

asts Alexandra did while she was alive, proving that I am Deborah's biological father. She was never your daughter, and if you had papers to that effect, it's because your friends made those falsifications for you." Nicholas declared furiously.

"This idiot is lying! That stupid girl is my daughter," Frederick asserted, frowning.

"Well, with the doubt planted, the most logical thing now is to conduct a paternity test immediately. If it shows you're her father, you can leave, but if not..." the detective said, smiling maliciously.

"I refuse to take that test! I am her father and... Ah!" His words were cut off by the pain of Nicholas yanking some of his hair out forcefully.

"You're going to take the test, and we'll see who's right," he said.
