When Daniel uncovered evidence of Harrison mixing personal and company assets, the court seized his properties. Simultaneously, his wife had run off with another man, taking what remained of their money.

Pushed to the edge, Harrison blamed the firm’s lawyers for his downfall, leading to his violent rampage.

Fortunately, Daniel survived the surgery and was now stable.
