After all, as the heir of the Cavill family, he was trained to handle tough situations.

Miranda flicked her eyes toward him, then turned away, her silence heavy with resentment.

Hugh straightened, his tone measured. “Vincent, Miranda, my assistant said you wanted to talk?”

He was playing coy, and though the Olsens seethed, they swallowed their anger for Bethan’s sake.

Vincent glanced at his wife, then bowed his head. “Hugh, we’ve hired Vadim to get Bethan out on bail, but we need a guarantor.”

Hugh’s response was calm and calculated. “Vincent, I can find you a guarantor, but there are conditions.”

Vincent and Miranda exchanged a wary glance.

Hugh pressed on. “A husband and wife are one unit. 20:13 If you convince Bethan to drop the divorce, I’ll handle

Miranda struggled to sit up, her voice fierce despite her frailty. “We’d sell our souls to make sure Bethan leaves you!”

Hugh didn’t flinch, as if he’d anticipated her defiance.

“Vincent, Miranda, Daniel’s accused Bethan of leaking the Cavill Group’s secrets to a rival out of spite for my supposed affair. If the charges stick, she’s facing three to ten years, plus a crushing fine.”

He paused, letting the words sink in. “A decade in prison could shatter Bethan’s life and cast a shadow over Barry’s

future.”

Barry broke free from Vincent’s grip, storming toward Hugh. “Don’t try to scare me! Worst case, I’ll drop out!”

Hugh placed a hand on Barry’s shoulder, only for Barry to swat it away.

Unruffled, Hugh said, “Barry, you’re young. One day, you’ll see how much your education matters.”

Vincent pulled Barry back, his face carved with anguish.

Even if we lose everything, we won’t let Bethan rot in0:13

“If Bethan comes back to me, I’ll keep her out of prison and back her career without question. I’ll give her

prestige, security, and a life of ease. Isn’t that what you want for her?”

Miranda’s voice trembled, raw with emotion. “That’s not what Bethan wants!”

Hugh nodded, acknowledging her point.

“Miranda, we’re adults. We weigh costs and benefits. My mother adores Bethan and treats her like her own. And she has your love. I believe she’d be happier by my side than in a cell.”

He added, his tone firm, “The Cavill Group’s legal team moves fast. If you want to save Bethan, I need your answer soon.”

With that, he turned and left.

Barry was a whirlwind of rage and desperation.

Vincent turned to Miranda, his voice low. “I just spoke with Vadim. He’s dropped Bethan’s case. No lawyer in New York would dare take on the Cavill family’s legal

team.”

His voice cracked. “If Bethan goes to prison, her life’s over.”

Miranda buried her face in her hands, tears streaming. “But Hugh has another woman and a child! Going back to him would break her!”

Barry’s fists tightened, his voice shaking with fury. “The police will give Bethan justice. We don’t need to bow to him!”

He still believed in justice.

Vincent and Miranda exchanged a glance, their eyes heavy with shared disillusionment.

They’d tasted the highs of the Olsen family’s glory days, when allies flocked to them, and the lows of bankruptcy, Ahen human nature bared its teeth.

Vincent’s voice was thick with resignation. “Blame me for being a useless father. If Bethan loses her freedom and her future to a prison sentence, I’d rather she return to the Cavill family. At least there, she’d have her career, her friends, and her family.”

Miranda sobbed into her blanket, her heart splintering.

At one in the morning, Hugh’s phone buzzed. It was

Vincent.

By five, Hugh stood in the bathroom, shaving with steady hands, preparing for the day.

At eight sharp, a sleek black Bentley rolled up to the detention center’s gates.
