When everyone saw Catherine, they were all frozen in shock. The lobby fell silent as the company's CEO approached with measured steps. Gina stepped forward, her lips curving into a relieved smile.She immediately thought up the words to say to humiliate Kai, she already thought that the beautiful CEO was going to support her and not Kai.This is her chance to humiliate Kai and punish him for secretly following her to the Rainbow corporation, a job she had tried so hard to keep.“Ms. Catherine! I'm so sorry about this disturbance. This man is causing trouble in our company," she explained, gesturing dismissively toward Kai. "He's my ex-boyfriend, and I'm afraid he's become quite unstable." She finished.An evil smile took over her face but Catherine didn’t spare her a glance, she only looked past her and sighed as she looked back at Gina.She knew Gina was lying.Catherine's piercing gaze shifted between Gina and Kai, her expression unreadable. "So, Kai is a madman, is he?" she asked,

Gina was boiling, anger shone in her eyes and her hatred for Kai showed in every other part of her body but Kai only remained calm as he stared at her.Though they were nominally engaged, this was really just a marriage arrangement between the Benson and Murphy families.But ever since Jake had returned to the Benson family, Gina had grown close to Jake, deceived by his hypocrisy, and frequently criticized Kai.Before Jake’s arrival, she had always shown great affection for Kai and Kai on the other hand had once hoped to change her but he changed his mind after seeing that she was beyond redemption.“Did you really steal from the Benson family and beat Jake, who hasn’t done anything to you by the way, up?” She sneered as she asked.Kai didn’t need to say anything because he knew that Gina wouldn’t believe anything that came out of his mouth as she would always believe Jake over him.“Did Jake tell you that himself?” Kai responded to her question with one of his own and Gina only glare

Jake smiled, utterly satisfied when he saw that Nora was going to listen to him and not get the police involved in the matter.He was elated but it couldn’t help but notice the change in Nora’s demeanor, it was clear that she was worried about something and although he doesn’t really care, he wanted to appear nice to Nora.“What’s going on in your mind, Sister Nora?” He asked, touching her shoulder as he got closer to her but rolling his eyes because he wished that she would just stop being a problem.Even though Nora trusted and believed him, Jake only saw the Benson sisters as a pain. He didn’t care about any of them, all he cared about was the money they had.“It’s just—” Nora sighed, her voice trailing off as she sat on the chair that Jake had led her to, “I’m worried about the gold bracelet that the bastard stole.” She added.Jake knew the bracelet she was referring to. It was the same bracelet that he stole and sold off just so that he could get some money to pay off the loan sh

Jake stood to his feet and cleaned the blood off his lips as he watched Kai walk out of the house and like a microwave ding, something rang in Jake’s head, giving him an idea.“I bet I can make it work.” Jake said to himself as he scattered all the rooms, messing every single place up as he ransacked them for valuables.Laughing maniacally to himself, he retrieved even more valuable items than Nora’s gold bracelet as different kinds of thoughts kept entering his head.He was going to sell everything he was able to take from the rooms just like he had done with Nora’s bracelet.The thought caused him to think of himself as a genius as he went on with his evil plan. He was drowning in massive gambling debts, and if he couldn’t repay them, he knew he would be in deep trouble.He also couldn’t let Nora know about it because then she would know that he isn’t as good as he’s making himself out to be.Looking at the mirror, he was satisfied to see the wound that Kai had inflicted on him and

With a determination burning in his heart like never before, Kai’s fist clenched and his teeth gritted as he looked back at the injured thug leader.Anger rolled through him like hot air and molten rage almost took over him as his anger just kept boiling over.He gritted his teeth even harder and all that he had in his mind was to completely defeat that thug leader. All he could see was red, rage pounded in his heart like a heartbeat.“I should kill you.” He gritted, the words grinding through his teeth as they came out of his mouth but the thug leader, who wasn’t just badly injured but overpowered by Kai’s immense aura, whimpered.“Please don’t,” he cried, begging for his life as he bowed at Kai’s feet but Kai only looked at him, his eyes weighing the person that had tried to kill him down.He really shouldn’t let him go scot free but he had other things that he has to focus on and a worthless thug isn’t just worth his time at all.“I’ll disappear and never show my face to you ever

Kai was astonished, he couldn’t believe or understand what this old man was saying to him and Fabio, understanding this, took it upon himself to explain.“I know you must be confused but this is how it all happened,” Fabio explained, “you got lost at a very young age, but the Grant family possessed a very great mysterious power.”“Each member had a life crystal that could locate their kin,” Fabio continued with his explanation and Kai listened with keen interest.“However, your life crystal had always been in a dormant state, indicating that something had blocked your abilities and so because of that, we couldn’t find you as quickly as we thought we would.” Fabio finished and Kai’s mouth opened slightly.Kai, after hearing Fabio’s explanation, reflected on his past and he didn’t seem so confused anymore, everything Fabio explained made perfect sense.The Benson family had always told him that he had an illness and that he needed to drink a secret medicine daily.Each time Kai took tha
