Eloise
I call Jane and tell her that Albert went to Steele Industries after Shelly was given her walking papers and was asked to leave and take his daughter with him. I told her I went to find out if he took anything from her office and so far from the cctv footage he wasn't able to get into the office easily and he was caught just before he was about to break into her desk. It is a good thing you lock up your business laptop. He couldn't find the safe. Gabriel told me that Albert Cook thought he was going to get the Steele company and all that goes with it away from you and leave you and your three brats high and dry. It is a good thing you never became man and wife, like he wanted. He walked around like you guys were though. He has only been there when we all came over and you never allowed him to stay and he always had to leave when Gabe and I did. I hear Robert is doing great. He is isn't he, doing well that is? Is Anastasia going to be okay as well?
Jane
Anastasia is awake and getting better, her birth control has to be changed. I mean she hasn't had sex as far as I know. But she will have to decide on that kind of thing since she is 18. Robert is doing great. He and the assistants you hired particularly the James Nash guy. They were the ones who caught the last error and they told me either Shelly is a complete idiot or she has been stealing from the company. You can guess which one I think it is. We reversed the monies back to us. Let's see how they handle that. Calling the cops would put them in scrutiny. They don't want that. An audit is being ran completely and I had Albert and her financials ran. I sent you the pertinent information so you can be armed and ready. By the way dud you get your bonus checks?
Eloise
Yes I did and I thank you. Those will buy the new company I want to add to save some jobs. The homeless shelter needs things as well.
Jane
Tell the accounting department to get you a check and order the deliveries. I am having you go in the company, so Albert can't say you were guilty of anything if I do find things missing.
Eloise
Good idea. Gabe just said he is capable of doing just that.
Jane
You got the good guy. Mrs Cook call if anything happens.
Eloise
Expect a big bag if hot air and his daughter heading your way.
Jane
I am prepared. My bodyguards know where and when they will arrive and they will be stopped and arrested.
Albert
I couldn't believe Jane actually went against me and fired Shelly. I took her back and demanded her get her job back immediately. We were escorted off the premises. I also was thrown out if her house and off her property. I demand my due. I got inside the locked door, but no laptop or computer any place. Her drawers were all locked and they had some odd looking locks on them and I couldn't get my knife past the edge to slide the lock down. It had a unique key and I can't get in it. Suddenly the staff tells me to get out of the office, the house and off the property immediately. They were told to call the police and gave me arrested if I didn't leave. I can't get Jane on the phone to lay the law down and get Shelly back as COO and move her up to CEO. I get an alert and the money Shelly transferred into my account has been reversed completely and all of it. I tell Shelly we are heading to New York to make Jane my legal wife. No prenuptial agreement happening. She is just a tiny woman who needs to know her place. I head to where the Steele Jet is at and tell them to call the pilot so we can go to New York because there is a family emergency. The guy picks up the phone and talks out if my hearing range. He tells me that I am not authorized to take the Steele jet anywhere. He recommended a commercial flight. My demands go unheard and he calls security.
Shelly
Let's just take a commercial flight. We go to the terminal and wait an hour for the first flight to New York. The layover was three hours and finally we arrive at Steele Industries New York. I could use a change of clothes and a shower but dad is determined he is going to bully Jane into marrying him. His plan stopped working when he had me transfer cash into his account from Steele's accounts. Now I will be facing jail because of him. I think I want to cut off all ties here and now. I excuse myself and head to the one place he can't go to now. Jane's New York home. I arrive and at first they don't want to let me inside. But Ethan allows it after he listens to me explain everything to him.
Ethan
Shelly tugged at mine and Adelaide's heart strings. The bruises were there physically and emotionally. I should have seen them as soon as I saw her and her father together. Carrick had a driver take her to the ER and what they found was horrible. She is in the same hospital as Anastasia. Albert Dennison is being arrested as soon as they find him, they found him at Steele Industries.
Jane
I visit with Shelly and have her medical bills sent to me for payment. I just knew she was a good person, underneath everything. Her father was and is a monster. I insisted they do a complete work up on her and she broke down and they did a rape kit on her. Where Ethan and Kate escaped their monster she was too traumatized and frightened to do anything to escape her monster. I told them to provide any and all things she will need to heal. I go talk to Shelly and tell her a guard will protect her 24/7.
Shelly
I can't do it anymore and I broke down and told Carrick Grey everything in the hospital room. He went and got Jane and she told the doctors to send her all the bills and spoke to her bodyguard and placed security on me 24/7. I forget what mom was like, he beat her and raped her too, until she died. Then one night he started doing it to me. I can't recall how old I was when it first started.
Three days later the cops took my statement and the evidence and photos. My father is behind bars now. Jane told Ethan I needed to be cared for and she was going to have me at her house in New York and someone will watch over me. She has two homes I won't be alone, there will be appointments to go to.
