Chapter 210: Another Charade

Rain headed straight to the Supreme Court after her conversation with Vania, her mind racing as she clutched her notebook. Michael Astor had access to the underground facility of The Gentlemen's Club, and Vania had been repeatedly taken there to entertain him. But why there, of all places? Unless… 

A suspicion formed in her mind, her eyes narrowing as she considered the possibility: what if Michael was more than just another participant in abuse, drugs, and exploitation? What if he was the one behind it all? What if he was…

She muttered a curse under her breath as she made her way inside the Supreme Court, intent on filing a petition to free her Aunt Melanie from the full guardianship her father had imposed. This time, she was determined to secure her aunt's independence once and for all.

She decided to push her thoughts about Michael aside for now, planning to revisit each angle and possibility later with a clear head.
