Her, all she needed was him.
He wanted to create a world for her, a world where she could grow unrestrictedly, free of worries.
Once upon a time, he had succeeded in doing it all.
But everything had changed five years ago.
Perhaps it was Norma Ruby's heartbreaking ordeal of being kidnapped and violated, added to the fact that he owed Norma so much, naturally his sympathies tilted towards the victim.
"Did I spoil you too much? How dare you, how could you..."
Yet, upon calming down, he started to suspect some foul play. He knew Forsythia Brown far too well, for he had raised her. She was the type who dared to face the consequences of her actions.
Since she vehemently denied all accusations, he decided to dig deeper into the case to clear her name.
He started his investigation before Norma demanded a preliminary trial.
