Myra sat in the aftermath of Sebastian''s harsh words, her face pale and her pride shattered. Anger, humiliation, and guilt warred within her as sheshed out, her voice trembling. "So, what am I supposed to do? They''re both my daughters! Am I supposed to sit back and It was the kind of question that had no answer.


    let Ka die?"


    Sebastian opened his mouth to speak, but Dexter cut him off with a sharp re. "Can''t you see your mother is already unwell? Stop adding to her stress!"


    "Dad, I don''t mean to upset her, but thepany-"


    "Thepany is your responsibility now," Dexter interrupted firmly. "Handle it. I have things to take care of."


    Sebastian lowered his head, hiding the frustration in his eyes. "Understood... Mom, take care of yourself. I''m going back to the office."


    Myra reached for Dexter''s hand as Sebastian left, her eyes brimming with tears. "Darling, am I such a failure as a mother? My daughters resent me, my son''s grown cold, and nothing I''ve done feels right."


    Dexter squeezed her hand gently, his tone softening. "You''re not a failure. You''repassionate. That''s not a w."


    Myra''s tears fell freely as she shook her head. "No, I am a failure. I failed Felicia, I failed Ka, and now, even Sebastian..."


    But her despair gave way to determination as she thought of Ka. She straightened, pushing Dexter toward the door. "Go. Do whatever it takes to get Ka out of this mess. It''s thest thing I can do for her as her mother." Dexter hesitated. "And after she''s out?"


    Myra closed her eyes, her voice wavering but resolute. "Afterward... she''s no longer our concern. I''ll do my duty as her mother onest time and let her go-forever."

    Dexter spent the next several days running from one ce to another, pulling every string he could think of. He started with Laurence, but Laurence wasn''t swayed and unceremoniously kicked him out. Undeterred, Dexter swallowed his pride and approached his powerful friends. After exhausting every connection, his persistence finally paid off.


    Two weekster, Mina, the victim''s widow, signed a Letter of Agreement. She publicly dered that she had reached an understanding with the Fuller family and would not pursue further charges.


    Shawn, however, wasn''t as


    fortunate. He was arrested after being beaten nearly to death, with two of his toes missing. He


    confessed to all the crimes du


    interrogation. He imed sole responsibility for Ruben''s murder


    and the subsequent disposal of the


    evidence.


    The video evidence, though incriminating, showed Shawn carrying out the actions himself, leaving little room to implicate Ka directly.


    In the end, Ka was dered legally insane. A psychological evaluation deemed her mentally unfit to take responsibility for her actions, citing emotional instability on the day of the incident. She was released on bail and sent to a sanatorium.


    Dexter and Myra felt a measure of relief that their daughter had avoided prison, but their relief was short-lived. The public was outraged.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    The shares of Fuller Group were plummeting harder than ever.


    Moreover, Shawn''s confession only fueled suspicions that the Fuller family had paid him off. His injuries raised further questions. How could a man so badly beaten still manage to confess with such rity? Ka''s insanity plea was even less convincing. To the public, it was an obvious attempt by the Fuller family to shield her from justice.


    The fallout was brutal. Deals that


    had seemed locked in were abruptly canceled. The Fullers'' brands became the target of boycotts, and theirpany''s website was hacked, with the words "A life for a life" written in bloody red across the homepage.


    Morale within thepany plummeted. Two of their top executives were poached bypetitors, and confidential information began leaking to rival firms, who wasted no time exploiting the Fuller family''s vulnerabilities. Fuller Group went from an untouchable giant to a sinking ship in just two weeks, hemorrhaging resources from every direction. Dexter felt the weight of it all-the loss, the betrayal, and the cracks in the foundation of his empire. The once-mighty Fuller family was now a house of cards, teetering on the brink of copse.
