"Why are you always looking at him, Babe? Are you interested in that guy you said was poor?" Dominic expressed his heart, and he was a little curious about the exaggerated response given by his girlfriend. "Y-yes? Why? Oh no, I'm not interested in him, Babe. I just find it curious how come he comes from a rich family, whereas as far as I know since childhood he lived in an orphanage." "An orphanage? Hm, maybe he was kidnapped as a child." Isabella furrowed her brows. "Kidnapped? How strange. Is that what life is like for people like you? You've been in danger since you were a child because you were born into a rich family." Dominic smiled wryly. There were so many horrible things that often happened in rich families. Not just kidnappings, even murders often occurred even though they were not published in the media. The hostility in the rich families was very scary. They usually play subtly, constantly hiring mafia or hitmen to fight their business opponents. "Being rich is not a

"Hey, have you heard yet? Charles is the son of a rich family!" "Really?" "Yes! Yesterday I went to a party thrown by his grandfather. And do you know who his grandfather is? Michael Duke! We know who he is, right? A very wealthy businessman and it turns out Charles is his grandson." "Well, it's only fitting that the police who came to this university didn't dare to arrest him." News of Charles spread quickly. Some people invited to the party were shocked to discover what the party was about. The person who had fought with Deon, whom they often saw as poor, was from a wealthy family. For a moment, they were grateful that they had done nothing wrong to Charles. They never imagined that they would have received a very painful retaliation from Michael if they had hurt Charles. Erick and Damian, who had also heard the news, were in disbelief. Their family had not been invited to the party last night because their family's position was not that high to attend parties of essential peo

The cooperation with Browzka's company was over. Charles returned to the company with mixed feelings. He didn't like cooperating with Dominic's company, but his grandfather had said that the cooperation this time was crucial. They couldn't just let go of the opportunity to cooperate with Browzka's company. By collaborating, Duke's company would become more extensive, and the cooperation would bring huge profits.After returning to his office, Charles asked Sherly to sit down momentarily for her opinion. Despite only having the secretary status, Sherly's experience was certainly more than his own. "What is it, Sir? Is there anything you need?" Sherly sat on the chair in front of her boss's desk."In your opinion, is the cooperation that has been agreed upon profitable or not?" Charles asked the question that had been running through his brain. "The contract with Browzka's company?" Charles nodded. "Yes." "I can't say that the cooperation between the Duke company and the Browzka co

"How? Do you have any clues as to where my grandson is?" Michael looked at Rose, who had just walked into his room. "I'm sorry, Sir. For the time being I haven't found any clues from Mr. Charles' apartment. Everything is clean, there are no signs of violence or traces of coercion that could be used as clues. Also, the CCTV in the apartment is not working." "I know about that too!" Michael was very mad and breathing heavily. Someone took away his grandson, and the people supposed to protect him didn't know where he was.Michael was feeling very confused and couldn't think clearly. It had been a long time, and many things could happen. Especially because Charles was recently announced as the main person to inherit the Duke family, it was clear that the people who took him must want to harm and take him away forever."I don't want to know. You must be able to find information on where my grandson is now within 2 hours. Otherwise, you will be responsible for his disappearance!" Michael

Charles came to the Duke family's main mansion in Washington. Many things confused him, especially some of the events that happened to him a few days ago. "Why did you come without telling Grandpa first, Charl?" Michael greeted his grandson's presence with a question. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I came here to ask you a question." Michael allowed his grandson to say the question. "I'm confused, Grandpa. There are many strange events happening. Apart from the kidnapping that happened to me yesterday, there is another, more shocking event happening." "What was it?" asked Michael curiously. "Deon... Deon was found dead, Grandpa. His body was very gruesome, it looks like he was tortured before he was killed." Michael gasped in shock. "Really?" Charles nodded. "Yes, Grandpa. Is that incident related to the kidnapping I experienced yesterday?" "Is that why you came here?" "Yes.""You shouldn't have come, Charl. You could have asked Grandpa on the phone. But that's okay, Grandpa likes you
