Chapter 1: The Whisper in the Courthouse
It started with a quiet tip. Larry wasn’t even at the courthouse for Bethany—he was handling some work papers when a clerk leaned over and whispered, “Mr. Carson, do you know Bethany has a pending case against her?”
Larry froze. “What case?” he asked, his voice sharp. The clerk only shrugged, sliding a stack of papers toward him.
Curiosity—and dread—burned inside him.
Chapter 2: The Lawsuit Revealed
That evening, Larry sat at his desk and tore open the documents. His hands shook as he read the bold header:
Bethany Cortez – Defendant
Charges: Breach of Contract, Misuse of Funds, and Negligence
His jaw dropped. The lawsuit wasn’t small—it was huge, with damages that could bankrupt her.
Chapter 3: Sharra’s Concern
Sharra noticed Larry’s pale face as he read the papers.
“What is it?” she asked softly.
Larry handed her the lawsuit. Her eyes widened. “Larry… this isn’t just a case. If she loses this, she could lose everything. The house. Custody. Even Brooke.”
Chapter 4: Larry’s Dilemma
Larry’s heart pounded. Despite everything—despite the fights, the betrayals, and the divorce papers—Bethany was still the mother of his child.
Part of him wanted to walk away, let her face the storm she had created. But another part… couldn’t ignore the danger this posed for Brooke.
If Bethany fell, Brooke would fall with her.
Chapter 5: The Confrontation
Larry drove straight to Bethany’s house, lawsuit papers in hand.
She opened the door with a tired smile, but it faded instantly when she saw the documents.
“You weren’t supposed to find out like this,” she whispered.
“Like this?” Larry snapped. “Bethany, you’re being sued for over two hundred thousand dollars! Were you going to tell me at all?”
Tears filled her eyes. “I was trying to fix it before it got this far.”
Chapter 6: The Truth Spills Out
Bethany admitted the painful truth: months earlier, she had invested money into a partnership deal that turned out to be fraudulent. Instead of pulling out, she signed contracts she didn’t fully read. Now the partners were suing her, claiming she had breached her side of the agreement.
“I thought I could handle it. I didn’t want you or Brooke to see me as a failure,” Bethany confessed.
Chapter 7: Larry’s Anger Boils
“You didn’t want us to see you as a failure?” Larry’s voice shook. “Bethany, this isn’t about pride. This is about our daughter’s future! Do you even realize how this could affect custody?”
Bethany broke down. “I know… I know… I was desperate.”
Chapter 8: The Family Fallout
News of the lawsuit spread quickly. Brooke overheard a phone call and confronted her mother.
“Mom, is it true? Are we going to lose the house?” she cried.
Bethany tried to calm her down, but Brooke’s trust was shattered. She turned to Larry, whispering, “Dad, please don’t let her ruin everything.”
Chapter 9: Larry’s Unexpected Move
The next morning, Larry shocked everyone. Instead of leaving Bethany to drown, he showed up at the courthouse with his own lawyer—offering to help negotiate on her behalf.
Sharra was stunned. “Larry, after everything she’s done, why are you helping her?”
Larry’s answer was firm: “Because if Bethany goes down, Brooke suffers. And I won’t let my daughter suffer for her mother’s mistakes.”
Chapter 10: The Shocking Twist in Court
During the first hearing, Larry’s lawyer exposed hidden details in the contracts—showing that Bethany wasn’t the only one at fault. The plaintiffs had manipulated her with false documents.
The judge ordered a deeper investigation, putting the case on pause.
Bethany stared at Larry with wide eyes. “You… you saved me,” she whispered.
But Larry shook his head. “No, Bethany. I saved Brooke.”
