Crouching beside James, Maeve locked eyes with him as he struggled. “Don't think I don't know those photos were of your doing." James glared at her. "So what if they are? Are you going to sendto jail again? You selfish, vicious woman! "You took everything from me! Isn't that enough?! Now you want to destroy me, too! Lettell you, I'm not that easy to crush!"

Maeve, you're just after the Scott family's assets. Well, lettell you, my dad has already given it to me! "I'm going to remove you from the family registry. You won't be the Scott family's eldest daughter anymore, and you can forget about being in charge!" Maeve frowned. "Where's Uncle Phil? What have you done to him?" Philip would never hand over the family assets to a prodigal like James, Something was definitely off Sharon's guilty expression confirmed it. Maeve grabbed Sharon by the collar, her eyes blazing with anger. “Where is he? Tellnow!" "I-I don't know... I don't know!! Zion, sensing the urgency, ordered his men, "Search the house!" "Yes, sir!"
