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."

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."
