Ken returned to his adoptive father's house, and he wanted to ask Sebastian for reassurance when the plan to destroy the Duke family began.Arriving there, Ken crossed paths with a man he knew very well, but they had only met briefly."Ethan? You came to see Dad, too?" Ken asked.Ethan, who heard Ken's question, immediately gave the man the code to be quiet. "Don't speak too loudly," he whispered.Ken nodded. He invited Ethan to chat for a while, only for the man to refuse. "Alright. Let's talk another time when you're not busy.""Yes. Hurry up and meet Mr. Sebastian. He's been waiting for you since before."Ken smiled slightly as he watched Ethan walk away from him. He relaxed his tense posture, as he seemed to be able to guess what would happen next just by watching the man's departure after meeting his father."Dad," Ken called out to Sebastian, who seemed lost in thought."Ken? Are you here yet?" Sebastian asked, which was immediately answered with a nod."I'm sorry for coming lat

Elizabeth adjusted the mask she wore, remembering the hat she wore so that no one could recognize her out there.Elizabeth peeked behind the curtains with slow steps, ensuring no one was watching her."Looks like it's safe," Elizabeth muttered.She checked the neighborhood once more, then exited her house after the taxi she had ordered had arrived."To Cambodia Street, sir. Black Swan Cafe." Elizabeth mentioned her destination, to which the taxi driver nodded.The taxi started moving from slow to medium speed. There was no need to wait long. About 30 minutes into the trip, Elizabeth sat in one of the cafe chairs."Why is he taking so long? Did he make me wait on purpose?" Elizabeth snorted in annoyance. She glanced at the watch she was wearing, it was already 15 minutes past the promised time, but the person she was waiting for had yet to show up."CK, five more minutes, that man doesn't come. I'd better go." Elizabeth cursed the man who deliberately made her wait.One of the things E

Charles really couldn't believe his vision right now. He didn't understand what was going on."Didn't Ken have a relationship with Xaviera? Then, why is he hugging Elizabeth? Do the two of them have a special relationship? But how could this happen?"Charles shook his head several times, trying to get rid of the image of the two figures he saw in the photo. "One moment." He picked up the cell phone that had just fallen onto the table. The picture he had just seen was enough to make his hand tremble to the point of being unable to keep the phone in his hand."In this photo, Ken looks very young. I see. It looks like the woman in this photo was Xaviera before she changed her face. I'm sure. Yes, I'm sure." Charles spoke to himself. He decided that what he saw was Xaviera, not Elizabeth.This time, Charles focused again on another photo of his father and mother and the figure of a boy who looked very similar to his father."So, he's my older brother? Does that mean Elizabeth's words are t

"You're right, Charl. No one knows where your brother is right now. On that bloody night, your mother and father shared the task of saving you both. Your father was in charge of getting you as far away as possible because your mother was sure that the mobsters would find you and hurt you so that your father would give himself up." Michael sighed, his eyes darting far and wide as he recalled the testimonies of several people who had witnessed the incident."Your father took you away from the hospital while your older brother was with my mother, who had just given birth. Since your older brother was already around two or three years old at the time, he could comply with his mother's request to hide in a place where the hospital nurses used to bring the sheets and blankets requested by your mother.""Since your parents are special patients who have more access than VVIP patients, the hospital nurses will serve your mother very well and grant her requests as long as they do not hurt her.

Ken gulped harshly, trying to find the most appropriate reason for his father to forgive Xaviera and not kill her."Don't kill Xaviera, Dad. If you kill her, then the revenge plan for the Duke family will be ruined." Ken said quickly. He immediately told the reason that came to his mind without thinking twice."Ruined? The Duke family will be grateful to us because the daughter-in-law who tarnished the family name is dead and won't make any more trouble." Sebastian refuted Ken's words."But Dad-""Why? Do you still love that woman? Yes? Didn't you ever think that this widespread scandal between the two of you would jeopardize not only your lives? But also the entire organization? What if the organization's enemies take advantage of this situation to attack the organization?" Sebastian said in an annoyed tone. He didn't like being argued with, and Ken knew it.During his years of cohabitation with Ken, after the man was dishonorably removed from the Duke's family roster, Sebastian had
