Jerome asked, "Natalie set you up? What did she frame you for?"


    “She... she framed me... She used me of kidnapping a child..."


    The Chief, standing nearby, had heard enough. He said, "Ma''am, we allowed you to call a family member because you''re pregnant, and we need to file a report. You nned to kidnap my son and extort ten million dors. How did that be someone else framing you?"


    "Were the messages on your phone sent because someone was holding a knife to your throat?"


    "The ten-million-dor ransom demand was also sent by you. You intended to steal Zenobia''s child, but they switched rooms, which is why you took the wrong one."


    "And that''s Natalie setting you up? You believe these charges came out of thin air? Every im is backed by proof."


    "What?" Jerome was astonished. Why would Yvonne want to steal Zenobia''s child?


    Wait, when did Zenobia get pregnant?


    And she already had the baby?


    Jerome asked excitedly, "Sir, Ms. Zenobia''s child, was he just born?"


    "That''s right, the baby was born yesterday. Thisdy is your girlfriend, so we need you toe down to the station."


    Jacob''s eyes glinted with cold fury. His son was suffering.


    But he suppressed his anger, determined to handle the matter with fairness and impartiality.


    "I''m sorry, she''s not my girlfriend, and the baby in her belly isn''t mine either. She just wants me to raise another man''s child. Have her call her own family. I''m not her family."


    Yvonne was shocked by his words and loudly protested, "Jerome, what are you saying? This baby is yourst Now that I''m in trouble, you''re too scared to admit it? Jerome you loved me more than anyone You said you were going to marry me! You can''t do this to me!"


    Jerome roared in anger, "Yvonne, Joanna already told me the truth! Do you dare to have the child and get a paternity test? Call Martin right now. Maybe he''lle save you, since youre carrying his child. You two schemed together to make me the fool. Yvonne, did you really think I was that easy to bully?"


    "Jerome, no, it''s not like that! This was all Joanna''s idea! She told me to do it! Jerome, you can''t just listen to Joanna''s side of the story. This was all her n!"


    Jerome cut her off, his voiceced with pain. “Yvonne, I treated you so well, yet you were messing around and then turning around to humiliate me. You''re only keeping that baby because you can''t have any more abortions."


    "And Martin knows everything about you. You''re dirty, and he doesn''t want you, so you both schemed to set me up."


    "I''ve had some free timetely, and I''ve uncovered the whole truth. I only hate myself for being so blind, for being deceived by a woman like you. The allowance I gave you was just to keep you calm while investigated Wonne, was going to wait until you gave birth to do a paternity test, but I never imagined you could be so vicious as to kidnap someone else''s child for ten million dors."


    Yvonne shrieked in desperation, "Jerome, I know you love me! You have to help me,


    or I''ll make sure your son dies!"


    Yvonne could only resort to threatening Jerome with Zenobia.


    Jerome was taken aback. He demanded, "Yvonne, what do you mean by that?"
