Claudine’s plan is ready to go

In the morning, Ian and Hugo play basketball. An opportunity for a police officer to confide in a friend about Johanna. Indeed, Ian understands that he has messed with the lawyer, but first of all, he is investigating from the beginning of the investigation against him. Although he had a history with her, Ian wanted to succeed in his work without prejudice. And as much as it should be said, he is no longer so sure of Johanna’s guilt. According to him, he is not stupid enough to take the risk of organizing a coup with Marius.

Meanwhile, Master Levars meets Florent in his office. Representing Milo Pelletier, the lawyer informs a colleague that his client will not file a lawsuit against Johanna on the condition of receiving financial compensation from the firm Lemeur-Graçay. An amount that will apparently allow Milo to pay the compensation he has to pay the hospital as well as the Cresson family. Even if the proposal is in everyone’s best interest, Florent reminds Serge that Johanna will make the final decision.

Later, Johanna, Florent, and Guilhem discuss Milo’s proposal. Since the firm does not have the necessary funds to pay the requested amount and no bank will agree to give them a loan, Johanna has no choice but to ask Claudine for help. The idea would then be for the latter to take charge of the transaction with Master Levars and in return for that the LG firm would sell the shares to him in the appropriate proportion. The other side of the coin is that Claudine will become the majority shareholder of the firm, but unfortunately, this is their only way out of it.

Afterwards, Johanna and Florent meet Claudine to tell her about their proposal, which she obviously accepts without hesitation.

A few hours later, Claudine calls Marius to tell him that their collaboration is ending and that the last envelope is waiting for him in his mailbox. Relief for Gerald’s ex-employee, who will be contacted by a lawyer within two weeks to ensure his defense.

At the end of the day, Johanna calls Milo on the phone, and then accuses him of paying someone to testify falsely so that he can be blamed. After asking her if she was mocking him, Milo in turn accuses her of manipulation to preserve his firm’s reputation. Johanna does not understand what he is talking about, he assures us that he has never betrayed her. And clarifying that if he wanted to pay someone to pay Soriano, he would have to talk about it. Annoyed, Milo thinks he’s switching roles, hoping the prosecutor won’t miss him.

Bilal discovers the truth about Ulysses

With his roommate, Ludo reads an article about Alix’s incredible discovery that could revolutionize the world of modern art. Knowing him well, he is convinced that everything is fake and then shows Bilal photos of the paintings. The latter immediately recognizes red on the works.

Meanwhile, Christian informs Alix and Helen that he is buying all of Definode’s works from them for €500,000. If Alix is ​​excited, this is not the case with Helen, who tries to stop her from doing such a thing. For her part, Alix agrees with her friend, specifying that they cannot answer immediately.

Once lonely, Helen declares that it is impossible to sell these paintings to Christian, because he refuses to take them down. Even as Alix tries to change his mind, Helen stops the gun. Accordingly, they will sell the paintings individually to multiple buyers as originally planned.

Not far from there, Mark is working on letters found in Definode’s trunk. In fact, it is a correspondence between the artist and a certain Achille Lage, a post-impressionist artist quite famous in the region. According to their exchange, they met in Le Havre, where Definode was born in 1881. Unfortunately, the journalist will never get a birth certificate, because the city’s archives were completely destroyed during the Second World War. However, Mark has some information. Definod was 18 years old in 1902 when he decided to come and visit the light of the Mediterranean at Lager’s invitation. It was also at this time that he painted the paintings they discovered. Nevertheless, the letters suddenly stop in 1903.

At the same time, Bilal goes to the gallery to get a closer look at Definod’s paintings. When Bilal sees the red color he invented, he calls Ulises for an explanation. The latter then ends up confessing to him that he plays counterfeiting for a living. And if Ulysses lied, it was because he didn’t want to tell her that he fell in love with failure. It doesn’t matter to Bilal that he’s a failed artist, but on the other hand, he won’t admit that he cheated on her by dragging her into his schemes. He hangs up on her in frustration.

A few steps away, Yvonne Chalin drops into Midi Libre to talk to Marc. Unexpectedly, the art critic explains to the journalist that it is impossible for a barely 20-year-old man in 1902 to have such an attack in his time. He therefore requires a forum in the newspaper to warn the world of this alleged falsehood.
