What Astrid needed was precisely this kind of assurance. As long as he exposed Javier, the prison authorities would consider such conditions.After organizing the information, he submitted it to the relevant authorities. However, Daniel had been dead for nearly 30 years. Could they still bring Javier to justice?Astrid was determined. In the information he provided, he even specified the poison used to kill Daniel. Despite the three decades that had passed, some residual toxins in the bones, which had not turned into ashes, could still be detected by modern technology. The color of the bones of someone who died from poisoning differed from those who died naturally.Astrid's revelation threw the Hernandez family into chaos. Daniel's grave, which had been untouched for almost 30 years, was dug up. The results mirrored Astrid's description—Daniel had indeed been poisoned.Naturally, Javier tried to proclaim his innocence. Almost 30 years had passed, and some evidence had been lost ove

"Eric! Javier... He's been released!" Grace's voice was filled with disbelief. "What's happening?!" Eric exclaimed.Just yesterday, Javier had been arrested, and even Grace had emphasized the seriousness of his situation. How was it possible for him to be released so swiftly?"Mom! Can you explain? He is accused of murder! Even if the Hernandez family holds influence, they shouldn't be able to interfere in such a serious matter, right?"Eric was apprehensive about the consequences and complications of taking a life entailed. Based on his understanding of the law, he knew that getting away with murder was nearly impossible. So, how was Javier managing it?"Please, come back first," Grace urged. "Your uncle is looking into it, and we still don't know the full situation, but Javier has indeed been released.""Alright."Eric and Sylvia's travel plans were disrupted, prompting their return to the Montgomerys.

"Oh, she's still at the airport. She forgot something, so I came back to get it," Kenneth explained."What did she forget? I'll bring it to you, Mr. Johnson," she said, wiping her hands.Kenneth waved his hand. "No need. You can continue with your work." Felicia nodded and resumed her tasks.Kenneth later called for Felicia, "Madam Baresi, could you step outside with me for a moment? I have something to discuss.""Sure," Felicia replied, finishing drying her hands and following Kenneth to the doorway.As soon as they were outside, Kenneth's face turned sinister."Madam Baresi, don't blame me!" he declared, thrusting a dagger into Felicia's abdomen."Mr... Mr. Johnson..." Felicia clutched Kenneth tightly, her voice trembling with realization. "No… You're not Mr. Johnson! Eric would never kill me! You are an imposter."Kenneth pulled out the dagger, his blood-stained hand shaking. It was his first time taking a life, and he was extremely nervous.Felicia desperately grabbed Ke

"Sylvia, I'll go with you," Grace declared and turned to Alexander. "Please look after things here, Alex. Our immediate priority is to clear Eric of suspicion. He's definitely innocent.""Alright, you both go."Alexander nodded. He knew the timeline didn't add up, and he was certain that Eric was being framed.Sylvia and Grace rushed to the villa. The property was already cordoned off, with police officers guarding the entrance. When they approached, one of the officers asked, "Who are you, and what brings you here?""I am the homeowner, and the deceased was our housekeeper. Could you please let us in to take a look? We are in a hurry," Sylvia said.She was anxious and wanted to clear Eric's name as soon as possible. She remembered that there were surveillance cameras at the entrance to the villa. However, she didn't know that the surveillance footage had led to Eric's arrest."There's nothing to see here," the officer stated."The body of the victim has been sent for an autopsy

The police could clear his suspicion if they checked the surveillance footage at the Montgomery residence and confirmed his absence during the crime.Before the police could investigate, Alexander's legal team arrived with strong evidence of his whereabouts.Eric's alibi was solid, providing a clear timeline from leaving the villa with Sylvia to returning to the Montgomery residence. At the time of the incident, at 10:00 a.m., he was not at Orion's villa but at the Montgomery residence.The situation baffled the police. Two identical people at different places at the same time made the case complex. Eric's legal team successfully secured his release.As he left, he pointed them toward Javier, claiming he had created the imposter to cause trouble and frame him.-Eric's expression darkened in the car, incensed by Kenneth's actions that led to Felicia's death.

Seth received assistance from others as he left the morgue, his face devoid of tears but filled with sorrow. Had his tears already dried up when his son died in the car accident?Seated on the steps after leaving the morgue, Seth extracted a plastic bag from his coat pocket, unveiling a tobacco pipe. He carefully loaded it with a pinch of tobacco, stowed the plastic bag back in his pocket, and ignited the tobacco with a trembling hand. Upon taking a puff, he discerned the tasteless nature of the tobacco.Jaden nestled beside his grandfather, who shook his pipe, gazing at it before suddenly burying his head and weeping.Seth was in his 70s and dressed in shabby clothes, hinting at a prolonged frugality.It wasn't long before Sylvia and Eric arrived, their hearts aching at the sight of the grieving man. Whether to support his grandson or alleviate his wife's burdens, the family's sole source of income was now lost.Fifteen minutes later, Sylvia knelt in front of Seth and Jaden, to

Seth refrained from smoking, his voice raspy as he expressed, "I want to relocate Felicia's belongings to our hometown. She loved a few clothes in the wardrobe, and I'd like to keep them for her..."Eric let out a deep sigh. He had once believed he could overcome anything, even healing Sylvia's face. Now, he realized there were things beyond his power to change. Frustration, anger, and helplessness consumed him."Mr. Gurth, you can stay here for a couple of days. When the time comes, we'll take her back together," Eric offered."Thank you..." the old man choked out.Exhausted from their emotional journey, Seth and Jaden succumbed to sleep on the sofa.

"Stop with the questions. Just come with me," Matthew said coldly.Kenneth refrained from shouting, fearing that Matthew might stab him on the spot.Once out of the airport, Matthew took him back to the Montgomerys, where Eric and others had returned. All eyes were fixed on Kenneth."This is insane!" Grace fumed.It was nearly impossible to distinguish him from Eric—even their hairstyles matched. Javier had gone to extreme lengths. Even Alexander was astonished. Kenneth had done an incredible job impersonating Eric."Kenneth, did you kill Madam Baresi in my house, attempting to frame me?" Eric asked calmly.Surprised, Kenneth questioned, "How did you know it was me?!"Despite their limited interaction, Eric recognized him."Is that so strange? I also know the person behind you is Javier. Don't you realize how challenging it is to hide one's identity in this era?" Eric's voice was icy.Even with identical appearances and imitated behaviors, fingerprints and DNA couldn't be alte
