Ronald had been on the tail of the Jarvis clan for a while, gathering evidence of their misdeeds like breadcrumbs. When Kari gave him the nod, he didn't hesitate to hand over the dossier to the cops. The response was quick and decisive - Samuel Jarvis, caught in a hit-and-run, was nabbed in no time.
Word spread like wildfire, and the Jarvis Enterprises' stocks took a nosedive!
Mila, upon hearing it was Kari's doing, stormed over only to be shown the door by Ronald with a swift boot. "Time to settle debts, Mila. The Jarvis family owes us big time!"
Mila, still clueless about the gravity of the situation, spat insults and demanded they retract, claiming the evidence was fabricated.
From the second-floor balcony, Kari watched Mila's prideful retreat. Mila had lived the high life for too long, forgetting that even the lowliest lives are lives nonetheless.
Kicked out of the gated community, Mila sought allies, only to find the Jarvis Enterprises in turmoil. The scandal broke, and within hours, their stocks plummeted.
Mila raced back to H city, leaving her grievances with Kari unaddressed.
Jarvis Enterprises was teetering on the brink.
The public was in uproar.
A month later, Samuel's hit-and-run case went to court.
Kari, her daughter, and Ronald sat opposite a visibly haggard Samuel, awaiting a fair verdict.
The evidence was irrefutable.
Thanks to Ronald securing a top-notch lawyer, Samuel had no defense. He was sentenced to seventeen years.
Kari didn't claim a dime in damages, donating it all to charity instead.
When the gavel fell, Willa broke down, her grief for her lost husband cascading down in tears.
Nathan was there too, looking worse for wear.
