Nicole and her mother were arrested.
The charges against them weren’t just kidnapping and holding Leo captive, or threatening him to take his assets by force
The Moore family had already submitted evidence that Nicole had plotted against Nicolas.
Alicia had also submitted proof that Nicole hired online trolls to ruin her reputation.
Previously, Mavis had someone target her ex-husband.
Alicia managed to save him and turned in the evidence as well.
So Mavis now faced an additional charge of attempted murder for hire.
The mother and daughter were sent to prison, and they wouldn’t be seeing the outside world anytime soon.
But when the police went to arrest Julian, they found he was gone.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
After Alicia reported Julian, the security department had been keeping tabs on him.
They never saw him leave his place, but when the cops broke in, he was nowhere to be found.
Checking the security footage, they didn’t see him leave through the front door either.
In the end, they found footprints and a rope by the bathroom window-he’d managed to escape by climbing out from the fifth floor.

“The stuff he took is addictive. If nothing else works, he’ll just have to quit cold turkey.
“It’s gonna be rough, but at least it won’t kill him.
“And from now on, don’t ever contact me about your family.”
With that, she hung up.
She wasn’t just talking-she really meant it. She was done with them, for real.
Kevin was suffering now, and it was all thanks to his own trusted partner-she brought this on him.
Alicia had warned him before: Mavis and Nicole were snakes, not the sweet, harmless types they pretended to be. They could bite at any moment.
But Leo didn’t buy it. Instead, he gave her a whole speech about not being so negative and judging people just because she didn’t like them.
Fine, let him deal with the mess himself.
Kevin heard the line go dead.
He looked helplessly at his father lying in the hospital bed. “Dad, Ally’s not coming. She told me you’ll have to quit cold turkey on your own.”
Leo hadn’t been able to sleep for the past couple of days. It wasn’t until yesterday, after getting a sedative shot, that he finally managed to get a few hours of rest.
