Chapter 209
The two exchanged glances. Maxine spoke up, “I happen to be free in the next few days. Would it be alright if I went there to pick up myself then?
The prison staff seemed hesitant. Maxine quickly reassured them, “I’ll take care of the paperwork.
Hearing this, the prison staff on the other end let out a sigh of relief and said, “Just give us a heads up before you come, and an officer will hand the envelope to you when you arrive.”
A month later, Maxine visited Kathleen again. This time, Kathleen seemed much calmer than last time. With a guard standing right behind her, she only told Maxine what she could.
Kathleen remained cooperative throughout the visit. As she was leaving, she told Maxine, “If you’re still curious, check my old place. You might find something useful there.”
Maxine stood up. “Thank you.”
Kathleen smirked sarcastically. “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t tell you
a damn thing. But I’ll be damned if I let that bastard Gabriel get away scot–free”
out a few low, chilling chuckles, then pressed her hands against the glass. Hissing, she Kathleen seemed to be showing signs of mental instability. She let o said, “Gabriel did this to me. I’ll make sure that bastard rots in prison with me till the day we both die!” Her wild laughter echoed, unhinged and vengeful.
Kathleen was led away by the guards. Maxine stood motionless, staring at the handprint Kathleen had left on the glass, lost in thought for a long
moment.
As the door behind her clicked open, the guard announced, “Ms. Hudson, the visitation period is over. You may leave now.”
Maxine stood up. The guard smiled and said, “Ms. Hudson, Kathleen left you a letter. You can pick it up after signing in at the front office.”
She took the letter from the office. It was even thicker than she’d expected, scrawled in pencil, with smudged words where fingers had dragged across the crumpled paper. Just looking at it, Maxine could almost feel the hatred Kathleen must have poured into every word.
The letter laid out, in painstaking detail, everything Gabriel had ordered her to do, evidence damning enough to ensure he’d spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Maxine thought while studying the letter, ‘But this still isn’t enough. Gabriel is just a playboy. The real power in the Jenson family must be someone else, someone with even more influence than him.‘
But this was already damning enough. Nearly all the profits from the companies Gabriel had Kathleen bring down were funneled straight into the Jenson family’s corporate accounts. On top of that, there was footage of their hired thugs threatening other victims. Just these points alone would be enough to land the entire Jenson family in serious hot water.
After compiling all the evidence, Maxine immediately filed a lawsuit at the local court, this time naming the Jenson Group as the defendant.
That same afternoon after filing the lawsuit, Sebastian called. “Did you sue the Jensons?”
The
Maxine gave a quiet acknowledgment, and Sebastian continued, “The head of the Jenson family just called. He asked me to tell you to know when to show mercy.”
Maxine almost laughed out loud. ‘Since when do people beg for favors with that kind of attitude?‘ she thought sarcasti
She nodded. “Yes, I’ve already taken the Jenson Group to court. Once their business starts to crumble and runs into trouble, I’ll take them down one by one.”
She paused, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Don’t tell me the Jenson family actually wants you to plead for them?”
Maxine couldn’t help but laugh at her own words. ‘Honestly, the Jenson family is more likely to ask Urban for help than Sebastian,‘ she thought, amused.

Sebastian’s voice was gentle over the phone. “Are you okay handling this? Need a hand?”
