Irene quickly rose to her feet, asking Ricky, “You're hurt! Why did you come here? What's with that look?” Ricky's eyes were welling with tears, and he appeared unable to speak.

Beside him, Sheryl said, “The police just came, saying that they're closing the case on Samantha White, and requesting that we claim her body from the morgue.”

“What?!” Irene exclaimed in shock.

Why would the police close the case on Samantha?

However, it made sense when she really considered it-the culprit would naturally want that since they/ had failed to pin the crime on Isaac.

As Irene walked up to Ricky and helped him stand, he told her, “The police said that the verdict will be formally announced at court tomorrow. Will you come with us?”

“Definitely-the culprit would definitely be worried about leaving a mess. That's why they want it to end soon.”

“But can I really find them if they close the case?” Ricky was almost hysterical.

“Of course, once we have evidence to build a case,” Irene told him. “But right now, we have nothing to go on at the moment, let alone how they got your mother out of prison. That means we have to accept that for the moment, and wait for them to let their guard down before reopening the case.”

“It must be the person I saw!” Ricky snarled with spite.

Irene clapped him on the shoulder to calm him. “Right now, you need to get better. Once you've recovered, we'll work together to find your mother’s killer.”

“Yeah.” Ricky nodded.

In a certain mansion, a man was holding a woman in his arms and assuring her, “Alright, calm down. Things didn’t go as planned, but they still don’t know who you are. We wouldn't have gotten off this easy either if Isaac Jefferson wasn't busy with family issues, so just lie low for a while.”

The woman gave him a cold look. “But I went through all that, and couldn't even make Ricky my tool. That bomb also somehow missed Isaac although it was so close! What a blunder! Do you think we'd have another chance?!”

Isaacs hunch at the time was right-she was watching them when the bomb went off, and she knew right away that they survived.

She would not have fallen for it if Ricky had really contacted her!

Her eyes were burning with spite. “Well, I guess this is it... But it's so frustrating!”

The man kept trying to calm her down. “There's this nice restaurant I know. Shall we go there together?”

He was being patient, and knowing that he genuinely loved her, the woman did not pout too much despite her bad mood.

Smiling as she threw herself into his arms, she said, “Okay.”

The man happily showered her with kisses, and it escalated soon enough.

When it was all done, they were on the couch naked, with the man exhausted and lying sprawled on his back.

The woman looked at him, but there was no tenderness in her eyes- only indifference!

In spite of his love, she did not seem to care for him at all!

The next day, the woman arrived at court, disguised as a journalist. Irene and Sheryl were there accompanying Ricky. Irene was only there for Ricky, and would not have cared less that Samantha was gone, if not for her stepbrother.

Soon after they took their seats, a notary announced the closure of the case on Samantha's murder.

The short version was that Samantha had feigned illness to get out of prison and escaped at the hospital, but killed herself out of guilt and fear that she would be recaptured!
