Murray glanced at Easton, sure he was in on some scheme with Jennifer, targeting the Spencer family. "Alright, Easton, Jennifer, I hope you're not behind my grandmother's troubles and that bodyguard's accident. If you are, I'll make your lives hell." He then turned to Emma, speaking softly, "Grandma, let's get you home to rest."

Emma, her gaze sharp, spoke to Jennifer, "Jennifer, I don't have proof, but a video shows you throwing something in the pool after you parted with Easton. Without evidence, you slipped through. Next time, luck won't save you."

Then she turned to Murray, her voice firm. "Murray, Ms. Shawn is a fine, kind woman. You should get to know her better. In just an hour, I could see she's genuine and down-to-earth."

Murray recalled Natalie's decisive moves, feeling a pang of envy. He smiled through a wince, "Ouch... that hurts," the pain in his hand still echoing.

Emma's concern was etched on her face as she asked, "Is your hand alright?"

Murray shook it off, "It's fine, just a bit painful."

Easton frowned, wondering about Natalie's medical skills. He briefly thought she could have helped with his eye, but then he remembered his grandma had set him up with that doctor. What he couldn't understand was her knack for setting bones. Easton's agitation grew. To Jennifer, he said, "Go back and rest. I have things to handle."
