"What the hell is going on?" Isabelle demanded furiously as she struggled to stand with Sophia's help.

"I think it's pretty obvious, Mom."

"We organized this to teach you a lesson," came a sharp voice from behind them.

The voice was so familiar that it made Isabelle tremble. She spun around to replace George, Elliot, and several police officers staring back at her. "So..." Elliot said, glancing sideways at the detective, Allstair.

"With all this evidence, we can place Isabelle in a psychiatric facility where she will be safely confined without harming anyone," Alistair stated. "What...? A psychiatric facility?" Sophia echoed, her voice trembling. "But she... she just killed the baby..."

"Sophia, be grateful that this beautiful baby only represents a financial loss," Deborah said, approaching the bundle on the ground to pull back the blanket. Beneath it were shards of porcelain and a sound box. If it had really been my James, you and this old hag would already be dead," she declared in a cold tone that sent shivers through both women,

"So... this was all a trap?" Isabelle asked, frowning as she saw that the sound box was playing the cries she had heard earlier.

"Of course it was a trap," Elliot replied, frowning.

"Mom, I told you I'm no longer interested in the company, and I must acknowledge that Jayden has earned the title of James's father."

"Roger... did you betray me?"

"Yes. I didn't agree with what you wanted to do to James and Deborah."

"But son, I'm doing all this for your own good, and No, what are you doing? Let me go! Roger, help me! Roger!" she complained as the police began to restrain her and put on the handcuffs. "Shut up and walk," the officers instructed.

"No! Roger, help me!"

"Miss, you need to come with us as well," said an officer, grabbing Sophia.

"What? Why? I didn't do anything."

"Nothing? You were an accomplice to this woman," they said as they handcuffed her and led her away. "Debbie," Elliot ran to embrace Deborah, who returned the hug.

"Good to see you again," Alistair said.

"Seems like it."

"Hehe, looks like you enjoy drama and excitement," Alistair remarked, holding out his hand for her to

return the gun he had lent her. "By the way, congratulations, you acted well. For a moment there, I really thought you had lost it."

"I just let all my pent-up frustrations out."

"By the way, Debbie, where's my grandson?" George asked, looking at the fragments of the fake baby.

"He's with Caroline and Christian. She went to fetch him from the mall before Marie conveniently showed up to cause trouble," Deborah replied, watching as Isabelle and Sophia were shoved into a van and it began to pull away. "It's a relief to hear that. And God..." George sighed, placing his hand over his heart. "I never thought it would end like this," he said sadly, reflecting on how the person he once loved and lived with for many years could be so cruel and narcissistic, willing to kill her own grandchild for not meeting her standards.

"Come on, Dad, let's go home," Elliot said, moving in to embrace him, worried to see him so distressed. "Yes, Dad, I think you need to rest and stop thinking about this," Roger added, joining Elliot to help the older man back to the car.

"Ah... son, it's good to hear you say something sensible the older man said, smiling at his eldest. "Well... even though it's not a happy ending for them, I think they'll get through it," Alistair said, watching as the Peterson family got into their car and drove away. "I agree. I know Roger and Elliot will help their dad get through this," Deborah said.

"Hm... well, let's go wrap up Show Number Two," Alistair said, walking to his vehicle with Deborah.

"That will be just as entertaining as this one," Deborah replied with a smirk.
