Galilea's so-called being kidnapped had been a charade to draw sympathy and make her look like the victim, distracting the attention. Her supposed horrific ordeal was just a lie, an illusion of suffering. Even her trauma, as it turned out, was a pretense.

Tyrone's eyes blazed with intense fury. He gritted his teeth and tightened his fists with increasing force, causing his knuckles to creak. The physical manifestation of his anger was frighteningly clear as he struggled to contain his emotions. It was an involuntary action that he wasn't aware of.

For a long time, Tyrone had carried the weight of guilt on his shoulders, blaming himself for not being able to protect Galilea from a terrible situation. He had made countless sacrifices to comfort her after the traumatic experience, hurting the people he loved most. He had given her every benefit of the doubt and indulged her every need, only to find out it was all for nothing.

Tyrone was struck with a profound realization of how his actions toward Galilea had deeply hurt Sabrina. At the time, he had convinced himself that his actions were justified, believing that Galilea had gone through a traumatic ordeal that warranted his support and defense. However, now that he knew the truth, he was filled with complex emotions.

As these thoughts tormented him, Tyrone's self-hatred swelled. Why hadn't he uncovered the truth sooner?

Had he known it earlier, he could have spared himself and Sabrina from the painful divorce, and their child wouldn't have...

Tyrone's chest convulsed with a mix of rage and grief. Taking a deep breath, he spoke in a low, seething voice.

“So what happened to Sabrina's father? Did he die just because he captured some photos of those kidnappers?"

It was no big deal if Conner had taken photos of them. The kidnappers were going to be sent overseas anyway. So why did they have to kill him?

“No, there's more to it than that," Larry declared with a deep sigh as he glanced down for a moment, then continued. "Galilea had meticulously orchestrated a plan to send those men overseas, urging them to lie Low until the storm passed. Everything was going according to plan. However, there was an unexpected turn of events. Conner, against the odds, had found them."

Connor was an unexpected part of the plan.

“So... He overheard the conversation between Galilea and the kidnappers."

Tyrone understood everything in an instant.

Connor had captured incriminating photos of the kidnappers. He also unveiled the truth behind this seemingly grave abduction, a conspiracy involving the hostage and the captors. The mastermind behind it all was none other than Galilea herself.

Tyrone seethed with anger at the extent of the deception and betrayal. The supposed kidnapping was just a game played by Galilea, displaying no regard for the significant waste of police resources. Worse still, no suspects have been apprehended.

It all made sense.

Galilea and her cohorts found Connor.

Galilea's fear mounted after discovering Connor was a journalist. She shuddered at the possibility of Connor exposing her deceitful game.

The fallout from such news would shatter Galilea's reputation and lead to legal repercussions.

That being the case, she couldn't deny the fact that she had leaked the data. Consequently, she stood to Lose everything.
