"I don't understand," Deborah said, her confusion evident

"Deborah, I'll just tell you this," Brandon said firmly. "What happened today was meant to happen. It was all part of the plan. Right now, the three of us have a common enemy."

"A common enemy?" Deborah asked, her gaze shifting to Herman.

"Do you remember what I asked that detective during the trial?" Herman asked.

Deborah paused, her eyes widening as realization dawned. "Is it about the girl they killed?"

"At that time, I was a troubled young man living on the edge, helping my family," Herman explained. Despite being only sixteen, I was about to become a father and was incredibly happy about it. But then I suddenly lost both my beloved and my baby girl. They kidnapped her because of her blood type, intending to steal my baby girl from her mother's womb. And because they were careless in their procedure... they killed both of them. Out of fear of the consequences, they abandoned their bodies in a rundown motel." "That's exactly what they planned to do to me..." Deborah murmured, placing her hands protectively her belly.

"That's right," Herman said. "That's why I became a lawyer-to seek revenge and justice for those who suffered the same fate as I did. Despite my drastic decision, my parents supported me. That's why I stayed on to lead the gang after what happened to my father, not realizing they were the ones who had harmed me."

"I still don't understand. What are you talking about?"

"These people hired us twice," Brandon explained. "The first time was to kill your grandfather, and the second time was a trap that ended with a police ambush. At that time, my father managed to escape the trap, but a bullet injured his back, leaving him in a wheelchair for life."

"It seems that pair always leaves chaos and destruction in their wake," Deborah said, grimacing. "But I don't understand. Why did you bring me to your hideout again?"

"Do you remember what I said about special help?" Brandon asked.

"Yes, but "

"Let's just say we brought you here because you also deserve to see what's going to happen to them," Herman said, pointing to the screen behind him.

The screen flickered to life, revealing Frederick and Vanessa asleep inside a high-end car.

"So you were faking to help all this time," Deborah remarked, noting the malicious grins on the brothers' faces.

"They promised me anything for my help." Brandon said. "And what I want is their lives-to teach them that no one is superior to us."

"Also, Deborah," Herman said, his voice serious. "Tell me honestly, don't you want to make them suffer as they made you suffer? I'm asking because given everything they've done, I don't think it's fair for them to die peacefully in prison." Chapter 167

"I have certainly thought about making them pay for everything they did," Deborah admitted. "But if I kill them, I'll just be as bad as they are."

"Come on, Deborah, keep talking like that and I might consider stealing you to make you my second wife, Brandon joked. "Such words are quite charming."

Deborah bit her lip, blushing slightly and looking away.

"Don't be embarrassed," Herman said with amusement, "What you're saying is all the resentment you've kept inside for years."

"Maybe, but let's say I'll be content just seeing them pay for their crimes."

"Don't worry, Deborah. We won't force you to do anything you don't want to," Brandon said, gesturing to the screen. "We prepared this special scenario for your revenge." "What do you mean?" Deborah asked, puzzled.

"They're in a car identical to the one your mother was driving the tragic day she lost her life," Herman explained.

Deborah's eyes widened as she looked back at the screen in shock.

"So, this will be a gift for you, for helping us catch them," Brandon said, handing her a button. "Would yo
