'What does this mean? Is it true that Scott offered him a more fantastic amount than what I offered him?' Angela wondered.In front of her, Palmer didn't look like he was joking at all. He was completely serious. And Scott, as if he was so satisfied with their current situation, gave him a wide mocking smile.Scott also raised one eyebrow. This made Angela even more annoyed. She snorted like an angry bull."What is this, Detective Palmer? How can you make a decision like that? You're bound by a cooperation agreement with us. You have to complete the mission we gave you. We've granted your request for the pay raise you asked for!" Angela protested.Palmer looked at her but said nothing. The look in his eyes seemed to say that he had made a decision that could no longer be revoked."As stated in our cooperation agreement, Miss Angela, if I, for whatever reason, abandon this mission halfway, then I am obliged to pay a penalty or fine. And I just told you, as a representative of the Grand

Angela squinted. She actually wanted to spit out curses at Scott in response to his rude attitude, but what Scott had just said about the private detective confused her.Scott knew about the private detective hired by her and her mother? Really? How did he know?And what did he mean by the private detective no longer working for them? Had Scott made the private detective defect?Angela shook her head. Seriously! She, with her mother's approval, had paid the private detective a lot, even increasing his pay after their latest agreement. It was impossible for a Scott Goodman, who in her eyes was still a man from an ordinary background, to offer a more fantastic amount to the private detective."If you're only here to say empty words, you should leave now, get out of my office and get out of our office!" Angela said loudly, pointing to the door.Scott furrowed his brow, raising one eyebrow. A thin smirk appeared on his face."Empty words? Do you think what I just said to you is empty word

Palmer looked back at Eva with wide eyes. His heart was pounding right now. He could feel the sharp knife clearly on his neck."You're not just an ordinary woman, are you? Who are you?" he asked.At this point, Palmer felt something cold and hot on his neck. Eva had just made a cut on his neck. It was thin."I'm the one who's going to ask you some questions. You just answer my questions honestly. Outside of that, you're not allowed to say anything. You got it?!"Eva widened her eyes further. Palmer could be sure that the woman he was facing was a strong person. And she had a cold heart.So, Palmer, who was about to say something else, held back. His mouth was slightly open, but it quickly closed again."First question," Eva said, "what's your purpose in watching Scott's movements these past few days?"...Scott had left the bowling alley a few minutes ago. Now he was alone in his black McLaren. Earlier, he had asked Eva to wait in the bowling alley's parking lot, on standby in case th

Palmer, the private detective hired by Angela and Luisa simultaneously, had just parked his black Magna 3 Hatchback in the parking area of a bowling alley.Getting out of the car, he glanced briefly to the left, making sure Scott's black McLaren was there. He had been secretly following Scott since Scott left his luxurious villa in Oval Enclave that morning.Palmer closed his car door and locked it with the remote. He looked up, reading the name of the billiard hall. His forehead furrowed. Honestly, he was surprised why Scott entered the bowling alley so early in the morning. As far as he knew, Scott wasn't someone who often bowled.But maybe he was wrong. Maybe this was something he missed. That's what he thought then.After all, Palmer had only been observing Scott's movements for the past few days. It was natural if there were still things he didn't know about Scott, including his weekly routine.Palmer put on his sunglasses, and also straightened his black leather jacket. Fortunat

"You have one minute to explain everything. What happens to you after that depends on your explanation," Scott said coldly.Right now, the blood in his body was boiling. Without realizing it, he let his God of War aura seep out. Even his voice sounded heavier than usual.Aaron, the man standing in front of him, froze with wide eyes. Suddenly, he felt an incredibly strong pressure. And not only that, for some reason, Scott's figure in front of him seemed to suddenly enlarge, making him feel as if he was facing a monster.Aaron was a professional in his field, and he had been immersed in his world, which often endangered his life, for decades. But he dared to say, this was his first time feeling a painful death standing right in front of him."Ten seconds. You just wasted ten seconds of your time," Scott reminded.Aaron immediately came to his senses. He took a deep breath and exhaled it through his mouth with all his might. At least this way he could feel the nerves and muscles in his

At the same time, at the Battalion I military headquarters...Scott had just arrived there by taxi. Now he was walking towards Zach's room."Have you found something?" Scott asked as he entered Zach's room.Zach, who was sitting staring at his laptop, immediately stood up and gave Scott a military salute. Scott returned Zach's salute casually. Zach lifted his laptop and gestured for Scott to go to the long, wide table that was often called the "strategy table.""Based on our findings so far, General, Richard's two men were taken away by someone before we arrived at the location. We haven't been able to uncover this person's identity yet, but it's clear that they were hiding in the forest not far from the scene. We found tire tracks from a single vehicle. Most likely, this person followed you and your stalkers on a motorcycle."Scott listened attentively to Zach's explanation. Zach continued to give a presentation of his and his men's findings while showing the evidence they had obtain

Tony and Jade, who were close to the bedroom door, stopped walking and turned their bodies 45 degrees, turning to look at Tiffany with confused faces."What do you mean, Grandma?" Tony asked, raising one eyebrow."I said you can't leave until I tell you my decision," Tiffany replied."What other decision is there? Isn't it clear?"Tony turned his body until he was fully facing Tiffany. Jade did the same as her husband."Starting tomorrow, Jade will be working at PLS Group and holding a strategic position. She proved to you that she can handle your challenge. And she has told you that she rejects your offer and request to help manage your family business. Up to this point, everything should be clear, right?"Tony said it in a slightly raised and arrogant tone. His facial expression and gaze showed that he was quite annoyed.Tiffany glanced at Tony for a moment, then turned her eyes back to Jade and asked, "Are you sure about this decision, Jade? Are you sure you want to rebel like this

Tiffany was in her room, sitting in her wheelchair facing the window.The window curtains were pulled back halfway, making sunlight from outside enter her room, some of it hitting her face.It was clear that Tiffany was seriously thinking about something.Knock! Knock!"They are here, Madam," said Catherine, her loyal maid, from outside the room."Bring them in," said Tiffany.The bedroom door was opened and pushed inward, and Catherine entered followed by Jade and then Tony. Slowly, Tiffany turned her head and turned her wheelchair. Catherine quickly approached Tiffany and helped her so that she and her wheelchair were now fully facing Jade.Jade was currently wearing an office suit that made her look stunning in Tiffany's eyes. A knee-length cream-colored skirt, a tight white inner combined with a blazer that was also cream-colored. Jade's glasses, as well as her hair, which was mostly tied in a ponytail at the back, made her look intelligent."Grandma," Jade greeted, nodding.Tiffa

Jade stepped out of Hayley's office with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt a satisfying joy at finding herself now working at a giant company like PLS Group, holding a strategic position. On the other hand, she was worried, this sudden good thing felt like the beginning of bad things that would come to her later.After all, wasn't this illogical? Was she really recruited by Hayley to be the head of a new division at PLS Group that handles web novels? Wasn't she just having a beautiful dream right now?Those feelings and thoughts were still circling her as she descended in the elevator. After the elevator arrived on the ground floor and the door opened, she paused for two seconds before finally stepping out. It felt like part of her consciousness was wandering off somewhere.In the lobby, near the reception desk, Jade saw Tony. Her husband seemed to be waiting for her. Immediately, she quickened her pace, approaching Tony."How was it? Everything good?" Tony asked casually, rai

The next day, at Vermaen Hospital..."Are you ready?" Tony asked, having just entered Josephine's hospital room."Just a minute. I'll have a drink first," Jade replied, taking her tumbler from the bedside table and gulping it down."Where are you two going anyway?" Josephine asked; in the patient's bed, she was sitting with her back leaning against the headboard, playing a game on her phone."Watch out, don't drag my daughter into trouble again!" Sasha said sharply.Tony smirked slightly, saying, "You guys can relax. Today, I'm going to take Jade to a good place. Later this afternoon when she sees you again here, you'll hear good news from her directly."Jade had finished drinking and was now closing her tumbler. She glanced at Tony with the corner of her eye. Her face was full of questions."Well, whatever it is, be careful. You know what I mean, Tony?" Josephine said.Tony didn't answer, just raised one eyebrow."Alright, let's go. It's getting late. Don't let us be late," Jade said

Bernard's face instantly turned pale. Tony intended to punish him? What kind of punishment did he mean?"You still remember everything you said in your daughter's hospital room, right, Mr. Valmont?" Tony asked, moving closer to Bernard.Bernard instinctively backed away. A heavy feeling of fear enveloped him.How could he not? Right now, in front of him, Tony's figure suddenly looked bigger, and it was because Tony was letting some of his war god aura out of his body, blazing like a black fire.And not only that, Tony's gaze was so cold. He looked like a cold-blooded killer ready to kill his target."W-w-which one? W-w-what did I say to you back then?"Suddenly, Bernard started to stammer. He was surprised himself when he heard his voice.Tony smiled, but his gaze remained cold. He said, "Well, whether you remember it or not, it doesn't matter. It won't change anything. Right now, here, I'm going to give you the punishment you deserve."Bernard's eyes widened. He saw the black flames

Jessica parked her car outside the hospital. With a firm and forceful gesture, Jessica asked Tony to get into her car first. Tony did so with a bored face. Jessica got in through the right door and then closed the car door and locked it."Remember, like I said earlier, this will be our last conversation. So, whatever it is you want to talk to me about, I suggest you finish it right now," Tony said.Jessica turned to look at Tony, finding Tony staring straight ahead. He didn't seem interested in listening to anything she was going to say.But Jessica didn't care. She had wanted to discuss this for a long time. This was the best moment she had so far."As you might have guessed, this is about Michelle," Jessica began."The other day I told you that she tried to end her life by throwing herself into the sea, right? Well, she almost succeeded."I say 'almost' because her heart did stop beating for a few moments. Luckily, with my basic medical knowledge, I managed to give her artificial re
