Chapter 147: Confession

"Mom, tell me we aren't letting them just walk away," Danny demanded, his voice sharp with rage. He turned to Pam, his eyes blazing with disbelief. He had never doubted Ava's accusation against Brooke—not for a second. Having gone to school with the Rockworth twins, he already suspected that the gold bar incident was Brooke's doing. But without evidence, his hands were tied. Now that Ava had come forward, Danny wanted to teach the twins a lesson. Yet, Ava had already handled it in her own way. All that remained was David but the cops standing nearby.

He looked to his mother, desperation flickering in his eyes, hoping she would press charges—criminal conspiracy, slander, anything she could throw at Brooke and the Rockworths. Though Pam had once moonlighted as a model during her college years, she was still a law major.

Pam sighed, her lips pursed as she watched the Rockworths retreat. "Settle down, honey," she said softly but firmly. "It's better they slink away with their tails between their legs before your father gets here. I'm not getting any younger, I don't think I have the patience to wait for your father to finish his time for homicide." Her voice was steady, but the tension in her jaw betrayed her ease.

Danny bristled, but Pam's words hung heavy in the air. Her eyes darted briefly toward the parking lot, a silent prayer forming in her heart that neither her husband nor her younger sister would show up right now. Dan's temper was infamous, a wildfire waiting for a spark. Mandy's temper, while rarer, was no less terrifying when unleashed. Pam shuddered at the thought of either of them confronting the Rockworths.
