This was no longer just a battle for Alexander or Emma, it had grown into a full-scale war between two powerful corporations, Blackthorn Holdings and W2 Holdings, united to bring Annie down.

Their legal teams, having combined their knowledge, resources, and expertise, brought together shocking amounts of evidence of Annie's wrongdoing that painted the most horrible of pictures of scheming and manipulations.

The press conference had proved to be a turning point. To Emma and Alexander's relief, it had far surpassed expectations. The public, which once had fallen for Annie's manipulation, now began to see her for what she really was. Most surprising of all, people who had earlier been silenced by Annie through threats or money started to come forward. They began telling one by one their stories, with further evidence of her web of deceit.

Between them, their legal teams had amassed enough evidence-emails, bank transactions, witness statements, and more-the list went on and on. Emma flipped through the latest set of documents, her fingers trembling with a mixture of disgust and disbelief at the extent of Annie's corruption. She was a monster, an animal in human skin.
