Chad replied, "I stand with the people, unless..." He chuckled. "Unless Mr. Marlow decides to stand against people."

Mr. Marlow had not anticipated this level of defiance from Chad, who was in the newest promotion. He followed protocol and took Tom into custody.

As Tom was taken away, his eyes burned with anger towards Chad. Chad met his gaze unafraid.

At noon, Jack's lawyer arrived. Following procedure, he took Jack away.

After his departure, Finley made a direct call to him.

Aiden stood by his son's side. He hung up the phone. "Jack, one must know their limitations. Ashford Inc has always been clean. If it becomes tainted under your control, I'll revoke your inheritance." He continued, "Your arrest today is Chad's warning to you."

"Warning?" Jack seemed puzzled. His understanding was superficial, unlike Chad's deeper comprehension.

Aiden told his son, "You only met that man once, but he has arrested you. If you agreed to work with him, you wouldn't be getting out today."

"You're lost in the praise from your mother. She's shallow-minded. Your academic achievements, which you're so proud of, are nothing to Chad. Has he ever mentioned it to you?"

"Jack, don't be so arrogant. Don't try to make an enemy out of the Byrne family. And don't provoke Chad. He wouldn't be Havenbrook's youngest precinct captain without being wise." Jack was astonished. No wonder Molly had always been so aloof to him. Her brother was far superior.

"Go back to earning clean money. Even if it's hard, at least you'll have peace of mind."

Fortunately, Jack heeded his father's advice and changed his mind.

Cecilia caused another scene. Aiden went straight to file for divorce. He'd rather leave the marriage penniless than stay with a foolish woman.

Leo had disappeared for some time. When he reappeared, he was at a hospital in West Meadows. He moved to the window to contact Andre, "Uncle, I've found them."

Andre asked, "Where did you find them?"

"In a mental hospital." Leo gazed into the room at the two men among the patients. Their saliva stained their clothes. They were laughing like fools. No, wait, they were really fools now. "How did you find them there?"

Leo replied, "It's a long story. Uncle, I've decided to bring them home. We'll have them checked at our local hospital to see if they're really mad or just faking it."

"Alright, be careful."
