Chapter 138: EndingSeven weeks later, the autopsy letter from the forensic team was released. The autopsy was announced in court, as was prosecuting Minji, who was the suspect in this incident.Steve sat in the chair as a witness. He had left everything to the lawyer hired by Kai. After all, this was the final battle between him and Minji to prove whether she was guilty or not.Behind him, there were many people who came to see the trial. In addition, many of the media were allowed to record this incident since it was an open trial. They were filming this event because Rosemary was one of the most influential figures in the business world (and growing in Steve's hands).Steve felt his heart beating very hard. He hoped that Minji would not appeal the verdict. After the clerk announced the verdict, a 40-year-old woman who represented the forensic doctor, who autopsied the bodies of her father and mother, entered."I am Fela, the forensic doctor who will bear witness to the truth of t

Chapter 137: Tactics (2)Terry frowned at the words of the detective. He folded his arms in front of his chest, his hands staring straight ahead.His mind was now thinking hard. How could the culprit have been found? What evidence has been found? The thoughts kept spinning in his head endlessly, making him dizzy himself.Terry turned his attention to Ben, who was now frowning. The man with heterochromia eyes looked silent, as if he were analyzing the situation in this house.“What do you mean, sir?” asked Ben quickly, representing Terry’s question, who was about to ask the same question.The detective smiled faintly at Terry and Ben. “Yes, the culprit has been found. I just need additional evidence to support it.”“That fast?” asked Steve in an incredulous tone. He rounded his eyes, unable to believe what he had just heard.His heart seemed to stop beating as his face paled. Was the detective in front of him playing games with him? Or was he telling the truth? Because, as he rememb

Chapter 136: Painful NewsSteve, Terry, and Ben rounded their eyes at Minji's nonsensical words. They stared at each other before finally turning their faces the other way."You want me to be the father of the child inside your stomach?" Steve asked to be sure.Minji nodded her head quickly. Her eyes were sparkling, and her gaze was full of pleading. She looked at Steve with her hands clasped in front of her chest."Yes, I beg you. Please be the father of my child. Let's go back to the way we used to be, Steve. I've always dreamed of us being a family again, like-""Stop it there." Steve stopped Minji's words, which were too ridiculous for his ears. He put on a frivolous smile with a sardonic look in his eyes."After you left with another man and are now pregnant, you're asking to get back with me? Have you lost your mind?"Minji's smile now faded, turning into a sad face. Tears now flowed from her eyes again, much more heavily than before. Her sobs sounded so soft and heart-

Chapter 135: She's backAfter a long debate with Mr. Kang, Steve decided to just go back to America with Terry and Ben. And here he was, in an airport full of people.After getting their suitcase, the three men quickly made their way out. They had missed the country so much. Fun plans were already running through their brains.Steve inhaled the air greedily, with a small smile on his lips. He was very happy to be back in the country, although on the other hand, he felt a little bad that Mr. Kang had to take care of the rest of his work.As he was about to get a taxi, someone suddenly tugged on the hem of his shirt. Steve turned around to see who it was.His eyes were perfectly rounded, as if they were about to pop out of place. In addition, his heart seemed to stop beating, with his body frozen like a statue. He couldn't believe the person in front of him."Hello, Steve." Steve immediately took the body tightly into his arms. He buried his head on her shoulder. Steve's breathi

Chapter 134: Tactics (1)Steve blocked the tomatoes and cake thrown at him with his hands. The three men had no other means of protecting their bodies from the fury of the crazed audience, just because of Daniel's provocative sentence.Once the tomatoes and cakes on the buffet table were gone, the guests stood still, staring at the three men with disgust, cynicism, and hatred. Steve lifted his head from the folds of his hands, protecting his face, and looked at his own body.His body was so dirty, covered in cream and crushed tomatoes. The same thing happened to Terry and Steve. "Get the three of you out of here! A vile person like you doesn't belong with the leaders of the company, Mr. Steve," Alexa said angrily. She clenched her fists with a glare at Steve."Ms. Alexa, I-""Get out of here!" Alexa shouted loudly. She grabbed Steve's hand and pushed him hard, knocking him to the ground. Again, Steve felt a sense of dejavu, just like when he was humiliated by Daniel at Layla'

Chapter 134: Media Play (2)Daniel smiled happily as more people walked into his trap. His sooty black eyes were still focused on Steve, who was currently rounding the corner. He felt victorious because he had managed to make the man feel cornered.Daniel picked up the mic again, brought it closer to his mouth, and spoke again to make another provocative sentence."I have proof that Steve did that. Do you want to see it?"Again, there was silence for the second time. The audience was shocked by the words that came out of his mouth. "Don't you believe me? I really have proof." Daniel opened his mouth again. He made his tone persuasive so that the audience would believe what he said.The platinum-haired girl, who had been speaking, fell silent. Her mouth opened, and a look of doubt now overcame her. From that alone, the woman who had been supporting Steve now began to have doubts about what she believed in."You must be joking if you have proof." The platinum-haired woman uttered the

Chapter 020: Explanation of Plan F3 (1)Looking at the message written on the paper held by Kai, Archer pulled the corner of his lips, forming a lopsided smile and an odd expression.Terry noticed that. He turned his head, looking at Archer intently, before finally choosing to ask."Are you alright?"Archer turned his head towards Terry. Still with the same smile plastered on his face, "What do you mean?""Your facial expression," Terry pointed at Archer's face with his hand. He felt bad having to say this. Moreover, the two had just gotten acquainted. However, it seemed like he had to speak up. "Your expression looks odd." He said it hesitantly."Odd?" Archer repeated Terry's last words. "My expression is normal, Terry. You're just exaggerating.""No." Terry exclaimed softly, trying to speak calmly. "Your expression looked different when you saw the paper Kai was holding.""Oh, so you noticed it?" Archer asked. His tone sounded stiff, like a robot. "What do you think my expre

Chapter 019: Doubt (1) . . . Currently, Daniel was reading a document about the planning of cooperation with Van Derrick Corp. He was so focused on reading word by word written there without caring about the circumstances around him. However, his activities had to stop when one of his men spoke to him without permission in a low voice. "Sir, are you sure about your decision?" The middle-aged man turned his attention to Miu, who was currently twisting the hem of her shirt in the doorway. His amber eyes looked straight at Miu. His expression looked flat, waiting for Miu to continue her words. "Hm?" He muttered loudly. "Is putting Terry with Kai and Archer the best choice?" Miu asked again. She lowered her face, reluctant to meet the boss, who was currently wearing a lopsided smile. Daniel put the document he was holding onto the table, precisely on top of the stack of folders on the left. After that, Daniel rested his hand on his chin. "Come in first, Miu

Chapter 018: New Member? Terry laid down on the bed. Earlier, after Daniel left, he was asked by Miu to wait in one of the rooms alone while waiting for Kai to come home. Terry closed his eyes using his arms, blocking the light from entering his retinas. His mind was now filled with many things. Starting from his wife, who left with Matthias, the state of his family, his brother's arrival, Daniel knowing his secret, and Kai not explaining anything to him. Everything was mixed together, making him feel dizzy. Terry almost fell asleep because he was too tired to think about everything. However, that didn't happen because he woke up to the sound of the door being opened from outside. The man opened his eyes again and turned to the door. "Sorry, did I disturb your rest?" "Not at all," Terry got up from his position, looking the man up and down carefully. The man was wearing a black shirt and white coat with a stethoscope hanging from his neck. In his hand, he carried a me

Chapter 017: Be careful "That person? Don't tell me if he's..." Frank put his index finger in front of Steve's lips, asking the man to stop talking. The tail of his eye glanced to the south, which led to a slightly open door. Steve followed the direction of the glance, then gave a small nod. He closed his mouth, swallowing back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue. Looking at Steve, who understood the code he gave, Frank lowered his index finger. A faint smile was etched on his lips. His hand stretched out to take a bottle of water that was available on the table. Now, Frank's attention was on the open door. He had to see who dared to interrupt his conversation. "Irene?" he called in a firm voice. "Is that you?" The woman gasped in surprise. She came out of her hiding place. Her body that had been hiding behind the door was now visible. "Yes, sir. It's me." "What are you doing behind the door?" Frank asked in a confused tone. "Do you have anyt

Chapter 016: Report "Where's Terry?""What do you mean?"Kai turned his head towards the back. His eyes watched the heterochrome-eyed man up and down, scanning him carefully. His forehead was deeply furrowed with a noticeable lip line dropping. "No need to pretend you don't know, Kai." "But I really don't know what you're talking about, Ben.""I know that you brought Terry," Ben said again with his hands clenched on either side of his body.Kai shook his head with a rough sigh. "Ben, you don't seem to have changed.""What do you mean?""You always accuse me without proof. I mean, which Terry are you talking about? Do you know that I just got back from Germany?" Kai asked frantically.Ben was silent for a few moments. His fists seemed to loosen, and his demeanor softened slightly."I mean, Terry's the youngest of the Walter family," Ben spoke again in a slightly higher voice. "I know you brought that guy, right? So where is he now?""Ben, I don't know who you're looking f

Chapter 015: The (Dangerous) OfferKai got out of the Bentley with a few files in his hand. His lips curled upwards with a friendly aura. When someone greeted him, he would answer in a friendly manner. Kai hoped that he would find what he needed in this place.His feet stepped towards the towering building in front of him, the Van Derrick Corp. He had business with its leader due to orders from Daniel.While at the crossroads, Kai felt his cell phone vibrate, indicating an incoming call. Out of curiosity, Kai reached into his pocket to see who was calling him.On his cell phone screen, the name [kitten Miu] was written. Kai was naturally confused. Why would that person call him while he was on duty?Out of sheer curiosity, Kai scrolled his finger on his phone screen to pick up the call. "Hello?""Kai!"Kai pulled the phone he was holding away from his ear when he heard Miu's shrill voice. He rubbed his ears as he grumbled softly."Gosh, what's wrong with you?" Kai asked in
