"Are you sure about this?" Andrew Whitmore, Adam's father, growled, his voice sharp with suspicion. "Because if you're lying, you'll regret it deeply," he threatened, his piercing gaze fixed on Daniel.

"No, sir, I am not lying. I have proof," Daniel replied confidently, a smug smirk playing on his lips.

He had taken photos secretly when Claire showed him the contract, trying to prove that her marriage to Adam wasn't real. Those images were now his leverage.

He handed his phone to Andrew, displaying the incriminating pictures.

"I can't believe this," Linda, Adam's mother, gasped, her face pale with disbelief. "First, that mother of two, Mia, and now a contract marriage with this gold digger? What is wrong with him? What will happen to my son's future? How could he be so foolish when it comes to the women in his life?" she lamented, wringing her hands in distress.

"Don't worry, Linda," Andrew said, his jaw clenching as a determined glint flashed in his eyes. "I'll handle this. I'll do whatever it takes to secure his future and set his life back on track."

Then, turning to Daniel, he asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"Sir, I was planning to go to the press with this information," Daniel said, feigning anguish with masterful precision. "Adam married my girlfriend. I love her deeply, and I want her back." His voice wavered just enough to paint himself as the victim, ensuring Adam's parents would fall for his charade.

"You don't need to go to the press," Andrew said sharply, his tone decisive. "I'll give you money, but you must keep your mouth shut." Andrew's mind raced. If the news of a fake marriage became public, his son's career and reputation would be in jeopardy. As a father, he was determined to protect Adam at any cost.
