The temperature in the living room seemed to instantly drop below freezing. Brian froze. He stared fixedly at James, the muscles around the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably. Then, quite suddenly, he began to laugh.

"Heh... Hahahaha!"

His laughter grew louder and louder. The tension that had locked his body in fear actually began to ease slightly.

"I knew it..." Brian shook his head, looking at James with a mixture of mockery and disbelief. "You still haven't let go of Jamie. You endured for so many years. You orchestrated so many things, laid out such a massive trap, and even used your own wife as a pawn... all for revenge." He let out a dramatic sigh, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "What a pity..."

He stopped mid-sentence, deliberately dragging out the silence with a highly punchable smirk.

Standing behind James, Steve couldn't hold back an eye roll. "Alright, Mr. Nelson, that's enough theatrics. You are at the end of the road, so stop acting like you hold any cards. We can easily pack you up, ship you overseas, and dump you in an ocean trench to end your miserable life." Steve suddenly dropped his usual playboy demeanor, his gaze turning incredibly sharp. "If you try any more funny business, we'll be taking more than just your old life." He paused, delivering his warning word by word. "We'll be taking the lives of those precious little kids of yours, too."

Before his words even finished echoing, a sharp slap rang out. Steve pulled a stack of photos from his briefcase and slammed them onto the marble coffee table. The photos fanned out across the smooth surface, the faces in them perfectly clear.
