At Mocon,

Dax wasn't least bit annoyed by extra work. He always wanted to break the face of Shane Kelly and torture Maisie. He played with his mobile thinking when it would be the right time to strike Maisie and Shane to carry out Aarvi's plan.

He checked the time, there was only an hour left for the end of the working day. The complete investigation would take a long time and the next day too. So showing up now wouldn't really give the perfect effect, he wanted Shane and Maisie to suffer first. So he changed his mind and focused on his loaded work.

----

At Kelly Villa,

When Shane and Maisie were freed from the room, shortly the department raided the villa. They didn't get to eat anything and there were no maids to order them. Hence they had only water and juice to drink while being jelly, the officers might find the money they were keeping in bank lockers and home.

Jose, Shane, and Maisie's mobiles were confiscated. Shane and Maisie had no choice and repeatedly lied to the officers as Hayden Kelly, their father gave them money, jewelry, or anything they had expensive.

They intended to bring Hayden and the latter to help them out of this predicament.

The officers were tried of checking the unknown source of money hence they sent a request for the presence of Hayden. The latter purposefully delayed and completed all his work before reaching the Kelly villa in the evening.

Shane was first to reach Hayden as soon as the door opened, "Dad, help us out of this. It's the matter of Jose's future, we can't let it stain." After all, the old people treasure their bloodline so he picked Jose's name.historical

Hayden shrugged his hand, getting rid of Shane's clutch. He dusted his blazer sleeves and walked past Shane with his secretary behind him.

Maisie clenched her teeth to bury her annoyance and blamed first, "Dad, this is all happening because of Rivas family, they are bullying us.." She took a deep breath and continued to act frail to beg, "Dad, you are only our hope. The Kelly family name will be ruined with this. "

Jordan paused at her words. "Ruined!?" He uttered coldly as he turned to Maisie. The wrinkles on his face looked more daunting when he looked down at Maisie, "Why didn't you think of a family name when you were cheating the money?"

Maisie grounded her teeth lowering her head. Every time she or Shane did something, they made sure it wouldn't become a big deal because Hayden would never help them, especially after they lost Ava Kelly.

"This won't happen again. Give us a last chance." She sounded like she will burst into tears anytime.

'A last chance' seemed to fuel the anger of Hayden. Maise nervously gulped when she lifted her head and caught his glowering eyes.

"Last Chance?" He said through his teeth, "If I hadn't given you so many chances, you and your husband would have been counting the bars in the dark cell." He had lost count of how many times he wanted to file a complaint against those two for landing Ava in hospital for abusing the child.

Just with the hope that they will change and treat Ava better, was keeping them in the social circle they wanted.

Three years, he had waited for her granddaughter to return to handle the scumbags herself. Seems like the Rivas family was doing it for her. "I am glad that the Rivas family is helping me get rid of you two." Hayden coldly smirked.

Maisie was incensed hearing Hayden's words. She screeched loudly grabbing his blazer, "We are your family, how could you do.."

'Pak.' Hayden slapped her across the cheek.

Maisie had lost the respect he would have given to her as a woman. Maisie couldn't hold the strike and collapsed on the floor as she groaned in pain.

Hayden turned to the officer who was around, "She might act as schizophrenic to escape. Don't believe her."

The officers: "..."

They have nothing to do with the family affairs so they didn't bother about it. The secretary of Hayden took a step ahead to meet the chief officer who came downstairs.

"Hello, President Kelly is here to provide the statement." He got to the point without asking anything about the situation.

The middle-aged officer nodded and pointed to the couch for them to take a seat. "We have some questions, I hope you could corporate with us."

Hayden merely nodded and took a seat as his eyes brushed over Jose who had no idea what to do or how to react. He also looked bored.

Hayden's secretary passed a file to them before the questionnaire could start, "This file has every detail of the cash, bank transfer, digital payment, done by President Kelly. It also includes about the vehicles, properties given to them."

Shane and Maisie realized Hayden probably prepared for such a situation or he prepared the data after knowing the raid on them.

Hayden's secretary extended another file and mentioned the content, "This file has the details of Shane Kelly and Maisie Kelly taking money from the company in the name of improvement of the design studio. We have suspected there were no such changes though. The profit shown by the studio is always in loss so they have paid nothing back to us."

Maisie started laughing hysterically while Shane was frowning at his father. They were smart to know Hayden was closing the possible leeways they might have got.

Hayden's secretary glanced at Maisie pathetically sitting on the ground. Then he continued, "Other than these.." He handed another file, "This file has the details of the money or any expensive gifts got from the Burnette family, that is Maisie Kelly aka Maisie Burnette's maternal family."

The stunned ones weren't the Kellys anymore. The officers who were working, stared at the old man and the unemotional, professional middle-aged man, with their jaws dropped.

They always saw people pleading with them, asking them a way out, lying to them, bribing them. This was like.. they were the side characters to give a climax to a family drama.
