Liora had made a daring escape during Eugene's funeral, right under the watchful eyes of the police.

Atlas and I decided it was time to return to Foswood, so we wrapped up our month-long stay in Gerby. The investment projects here were progressing smoothly, rendering Atlas's presence unnecessary.

Atlas was concerned about Beatrice's ability to handle things independently, so he decided to leave Gavin behind to assist her in acclimating to the business.

Arnold willingly stayed back to help Sean handle the aftermath of the case.

As we said our goodbyes, Beatrice held on to me tightly, reluctant to let go. I shared the sentiment, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It was time to get back to our own lives.

I promised her that when the case went to public trial, I would be there to witness the moment justice prevailed and stand by her side during her toughest moments.

Deep down, I knew that avenging her mother meant forever losing someone she called 'father'.
