A few hours later Ivy and Lola lured mom and Jeff into some building in Uptown acting as if they were the associates to one of the local business titans here wanting to strike up a trading deal with Jeff and his business on the West Coast. Luckily dad had some people that had owed him favors over the years and were willing to let Ivy and Lola use their company name as well as send some official emails portraying them to be these titans. So now myself, Chuck, and Bart sit in the room next door listening in on the wire we set up while dad, Lucy, and Aiden were out making sure the police would be here shortly to send Jeff and mom to jail once we got the confession. As much as mother has pained me I feel bad for the two little children she's leaving behind. Aiden and I will obviously be fine but those boys are about the same age I was when mom left so I can imagine the world of pain they are about to be in when mom gets sent packing to jail.

"So what's this deal about exactly? You said you had promising new technological developments that would be crucial to my company." Jeff begins. "Yes, Mr. Dow does his research and he wanted us to meet with you on behalf of him because he recognizes the talent your company has and feels our two companies would be very successful together." Lola starts. "Also not to mention but he has some information that he feels could be rather useful to you and your wife." Ivy continues. "And what is this information?" mother questions. "Bart Bass is alive. And Mr. Dow knows where he is hiding out at this very moment." Lola smiles. Mom and Jeff exchange a look before Jeff speaks up. "Impossible. Bart is dead. Quite a tragedy, truly." he says trying to appear to be sorrowful. "Well, Mr. Dow thought that too but that's not the case. We have some photos to prove from a few nights ago." Ivy says reaching into her folder to give them the photos. Jeff looks over them before passing them to mother. "Mr. Dow is willing to help you with whatever it is you are needing with Bart as long as you agree to become a trading partner with his company." Lola states. "I'd like to speak to Mr. Dow myself." Jeff challenges. "We know he said he sends his associates to handle all of his businesses so that he can stay at his home office with his family but this is just important information that we'd rather discuss in person with him." mom adds. "He figured you would say that so he actually brought someone here to help speed up his process." Ivy smiles sweetly at the pair. "You can come out now." Lola calls out quing me to come out. "Mother." I state lacking any signs of emotion. Her and Jeff's eyes widen. Jeff visibly tenses at my presence. "London, what the hell are you doing here?" she questions. "You used me." I speak simply. "I have no idea what you are talking about." she says. "You do. You aren't as smart as you pretend to be or else you wouldn't have allowed Jeff to find out that Aiden wasn't his. You were so close to losing your next paycheck that you agreed to hurt me, your only daughter and dad. You are a money sucking witch. I can't believe you faked cancer all so you could get money out of me and in turn hurt dad." Jeff interrupts me though. "London, your mother and I have made peace with the whole Aiden thing. She did everything else because we had to. Bart Bass is a menace to society, he knew some things that couldn't ever get out. We had to shut him up, we had to kill him. It was the only way to protect our livelihood. And yes I'll admit at the time I wanted to seek revenge on Alex, but like I said I've moved past that." Jeff explains. "I find that hard to believe." Bart enters using the back door followed by dad and the police. The police then escort Jeff and mom out of the room. "You can't do this!" mom exclaims. "Shut up Jen!" Dad yells at the same time Lucy shouts "Don't you ever come near my daughter again!" My head whips around to her caught off guard by what she said. This is the first time she's ever referred to me as her daughter but I agree with her. She is my mother not Jen and I am her daughter. "Oh, fuck you Lacy!" mother screams on her way out the door. Once Jeff and mom are out of sight dad turns to Bart bringing him in for a big hug. "It's so good to see you!" he says squeezing him. "You too. I've missed you all." Bart replies looking at Alex, Lucy, Chuck, and me. "I guess now that the police know the truth you'll be sticking around." Chuck questions. "Of course, son." Bart sighs, smiling down at Chuck. "Thank you. You helped me get out of this mess." Bart continues. He and Chuck then leave to catch up on their lost time together. Chuck turns back giving me an approving nod before walking out. Dad then brings me and Aiden close into him. "I'm sorry your mother put you both through so much. I wish I could have prevented this all from happening." "It's fine. We have you and that's all that matters." I say grabbing his hand. We all hug while Aiden speaks up. "I want to thank you for allowing me to come into y'alls life. You have been a way better father than Jeff ever was." "I love you both so much." Dad says, kissing us each on the head.
