Days of worry had pushed Amelia to the brink of a breakdown, her voice breaking as she sobbed uncontrollably. "Mom and I have tried everything... The Lovetts have looked for help too, but we haven't been able to free Steve..."

"What?! Why are you only telling me this now?!" Overwhelmed by anger, Bella's voice grew raspy.

"Bella, don't get worked up. Don't scare your sister." Justin gently squeezed her hand, his voice calming as he soothed her fluctuating emotions. "Ask your sister to slow down and explain everything." Bella sighed with guilt. "I'm sorry, Amelia... I was too harsh just now. Don't cry. Just tell me everything. I want to know which bastard dares to mess with Steve! I'll make sure they regret it." Despite the serious nature of the conversation, Justin could not help but suppress a laugh at her fiery words.

"It was the Iversons..." Amelia sniffed intermittently. "I think... The Iversons were upset because Charles got beaten for bullying me, so they targeted Steve... He got arrested for assault, and not only that... That jerk Charles had a medical evaluation done, attributing all his injuries, both major and minor, to Steve... Now the police are charging him for inflicting grievous bodily harm..."

This list of injuries included Charles' impotence as well.

With the Iversons' resources, tampering with a medical report or even fabricating one was no challenge at all.

"That damned bastard deserves to die, and it would still not be enough! The fact that I haven't killed him is already merciful. Yet, the Iversons dare to turn this around on us?!" Bella was uncontrollably furious, her eyes red with rage as she seethed with a desire for vengeance.
