When Jovana returned, she looked stressed, and Jade kept updating her with information. With a hand on her head, she said, Get those two, huh? Jade said they were, are you sure? I need them, so get them. Jovana said, "Get Jinx; get him; he is useful.

Later that evening, when Jade was frustrated convincing the new reporter on the phone that Jovana did not want to give any interviews, she gave the phone to Jaden, and Jaden, in this style, got that reporter. This was seen by her dad and uncles and Riyaan, Ayaan, and Abhi while they had their tea in the garden. Yet, again, Jade got a call, and that reporter would not stop; he was barking shit. Jade called Jaden, but Jovana said, Give me the phone, and she very subtly said that under sections 66E (punishment for violation of privacy) and 499 and 500 IPC (defamation), you are going behind bars for 5 years or a fine of about 10 lakhs or both. Think through it before calling again, sir. I hope not to hear your voice again. She kept the phone and blocked the number. This is exactly why I need jinx, she said.

The next day, Jovana had a meeting right away in the morning with a tech genius Max that she called Jinx, a lawless lawyer named Sara, and a cruel detective named Ritz. This was team SOS; they were called only when Jaden and Jade could no longer handle things. They concluded that they first needed to find out who killed Raman, the CEO, and then go to the person who ordered this. Jovana shared the information she had collected so far, and they all went on with their work. By the end of the day, they had the names of those who did it and hard evidence against them, a copy of which was sent to CBI through Advocate Sara. CBI was ashamed of their incompetence. They made an official statement saying so, and only then did the world know that a random minister's daughter's boutiques stopped customers the very day Jovana launched, and the minister is being investigated for the same while his daughter is under arrest for a physical threat, an attempt to murder, and a murder, and that minister is none other than Ranjeet. The man she was searching for.

Jovana took a deep breath and sighed. She was capable, she was competent, and she was the best. That night she felt the waves inside her soothing off, and she had received two heart emojis from her brother: on the party picture, a green heart, which meant jealousy, and on the wish, a black heart, meaning sadness. Jovana wished a gift from him to return to India, but he refused. Jovana wanted to make Delhi her regional headquarters. She wanted to stay in India.
