"Mr. Dickinson, are you going to tell me the truth? What did Ms. Mosley give you to implicate Lena?" Lina asked.

Drake averted his gaze, unsure of what to say.

"Are you truly Lena's adoptive father?" she asked.

"Yes, that's the truth," he replied.

Lina pressed on. "Then why did you hurt her?"

Drake trembled, looking away.

"Mr. Dickinson, Ms. Mosley can't protect you anymore. You'll go to prison if you don't tell me the truth!"

Suddenly, Evelyn's voice came from outside.

Lina glared at Drake and had people lock the door.

Evelyn brought Zuko and Chris inside.

"Wifey!" Zuko grinned when he saw her. "We found Nala and Alexander!"

"Really?"

"Yes." Chris looked relieved. "We can finally get justice for Lena."

"She was innocent from the start." Lina smiled. "Who found them?"

"They were smart to escape on their own." Zuko chuckled. "Remember when we found Dickinson with a head injury that night? They took the chance to run. They met a kind man who helped them return. "Alexander borrowed a phone from the driver, and Nala remembered her mom's number. They called her, and they'll be home in 20 minutes!"

"That's amazing," Lina complimented. "It's essential to teach our daughter to stay calm in such situations. Sephy needs to memorize my phone number!"

"Wow!" Zuko widened his eyes.

"I don't expect anything bad to happen to our daughter," Lina said, holding his hand. "But safety education is vital. We never know when she might need it."

Chris added, "Yes. A father can't protect his daughter forever. You need to teach her how to handle unexpected events and stay safe. That's the best gift you can give her."

"Hey!" Zuko pouted. "You don't even have a daughter yet, and you're giving me advice?"

"You..."

"Let's talk when you have your own daughter! Haha!"

"Zuko!"

Zuko grabbed Lina's shoulders and left while Chris made a funny face behind them.

Harold became Centrolis' new mayor, as the election results showed.

At Elijah and Patton's celebration party, Nala appeared like a princess, smiling happily despite her short hair and trauma.

The Mosleys were also invited. Bianca gazed at the party's serenity, feeling a mix of guilt and relief.

Perhaps everything had truly ended now that the children were found.

However, she couldn't surpass Lena this time. Maybe there would be opportunities in the future.
