In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Samuel had reached a dead end. He rushed toward Grace and tried to strangle her but was stopped in time by Luke. "Do you want to bear another charge, Director Walker?"

Grace stood behind Luke, coldly watching Samuel struggle. She then made a call. "Officer, you can come up now."

Shortly after, Angus and other police officers quickly entered and handcuffed Samuel.

"You're suspected of intentional harm, illegal detention, invasion of privacy, and other charges. You're now under arrest."

Samuel was almost dragged away.

"Officers, this is a misunderstanding! She's inducing me to make a confession! It doesn't count!"

"Our conversation might not count, but what your assistant said might have some credibility, right?"

Samuel looked at Josh at the door in disbelief.

"You? It's you!"

"Director Walker... I didn't want to, but if I don't speak, I'll end up in jail, too."

"You...!"

"He told me that the revelation of Caleb's relationship was your plan. Today, I'm returning everything to you. Enjoy the consequences of your actions." Desperately, Samuel shouted, "Grace! You'll die miserably! You won't end well!"

His voice faded and gradually disappeared into the distance.
