Deborah was in shock at that declaration.

"What... was all she could manage to say, her gaze falling back on the photos as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Hey, kid, how sure are you about this information?" Nicholas asked. "I don't doubt your skills, but part of me refuses to believe it."

"Don't worry, your doubt doesn't offend me, because this does sound insane," Brandon began, snapping his fingers. One of his bodyguards approached and handed a folder to the older man. "Here are copies of all the receipts for the payments made to LONITE, from the reception of the body to the delivery of the diamonds. Frederick ordered that the ashes be divided into three diamonds, one for himself as a ring and one for his wife as earrings," Brandon explained, taking a sip of his drink. "In fact, it was an unusual order that many of the old workers still remember because it was the first time they had divided ashes. Usually, only one diamond is made, and that jewel is turned into a pendant with an engraving to commemorate the deceased." "Damn them." Jayden muttered.

"I'd say they used Miss Alexandra as a trophy."

Nicholas was furious and wanted to hit Brandon for saying that, but he had to agree that Brandon had pretty much hit the mark.

"Oh. Deborah cried out, clutching her belly and starting to breathe heavily.

"My love," Jayden said, panicking as he rushed over to hold her. "Deborah, calm down... breathe... calm down, my love..." he said anxiously, helping her to calm down.

She gripped her partner's hands tightly, trying to calm her breathing as Brandon's words had greatly unsettled her.

"Here, Deborah, drink a little," Jayden said, and Deborah looked up to see even Brandon approaching to offer her some juice.

She nodded and took the glass, drinking quickly while feeling her beloved's gentle pats on her back.

"Calm down, my daughter," Nicholas said despite being a bundle of nerves himself. Seeing her in distress made him get up to fetch all the medicine bottles from the house. "Do you need any of these?" "Thank you," she whispered, shaking her head, and Nicholas sighed.

"Calm down, my love, we're here... remember you can't get too upset for James's sake," Jayden pleaded, glancing at Brandon, who also looked somewhat concerned, so he said nothing.

"I know, so if you want, you can hit me later, Brandon said, understanding the meaning behind Jayden's look, "Deborah, I'm sorry for upsetting you like this."

""Don't worry... you were just giving us information."

""Debbie?"

"It's over, Dad, I'm fine..." she said as she sat back down, but Jayden lifted her into his arms and carried

her to the sofa so she could lie down for a moment. "Don't worry, Brandon, what upset me is that I agree with you."

Brandon looked at her attentively.

"Sadly, I think the same way it's such a crazy and miserable idea that fits perfectly with Frederick's motivations," Nicholas declared bitterly.

Brandon also had his own thoughts, recalling how Frederick had asked Brandon's father for one last job to wash his hands clean. The job turried out to be a trap full of police, and his father barely escaped, but one of the bullets injured his hip, condemning him to a wheelchair.

After the scare, Brandon decided to leave. Before going, he handed Deborah a card as an apology, telling her that if she wished, she could use it to hire his services, and he would be happy to help her for free on that one occasion.

"This worries me... he doesn't usually do favors for free," Jayden said, hugging his partner, whose face was filled with sadness.

"That doesn't matter to me anymore, and given how things are, I think I'd give him all my money just to bring those two to me so I Wait... now that I think about it..." Nicholas said, suddenly recalling something important. Chapter 136
