On the way home, Charles was pensive for a moment. He was still thinking about what made Erick willing to give him the pen drive. Although he didn't know the contents of the pen drive, he was sure that the contents must be very secret. "Rose, why do you think Erick was willing to give me this pendrive? He even took the initiative first, even though I didn't know that he knew the secret about my kidnapping and Deon's death." Charles opened the conversation. "In my opinion, there must be something that makes Erick willing to do that, Sir. It could be that he feels that only you can solve all the problems that happened, especially about Deon's death. Aren't the two of them best friends? He must have been very hurt when he found out that his best friend died and his body was found on your campus." Charles nodded several times. The answer given by Rose was enough to satisfy him. "But I still don't understand, why wasn't he with Damian earlier? Did they have a fight? Usually they are alw

"How are you, Erick? Did you tell me everything in person?" Charles asked Erick, who was lying on the bed in the hospital room. Today Charles took the time to visit Erick. It had been a week since the shooting incident, and Erick's condition was getting better. Although his condition was critical during surgery to remove the bullet in his head, he was lucky to survive. "Didn't I explain everything in that video? What else do you want to know?" Erick replied in a whispered voice. His strength still hadn't returned ultimately, and he could only lie on his bed as he was not allowed to do strenuous activities by the doctor. "I think there are many things you haven't told me, Erick. You only told me the gist of my kidnapped, but you didn't tell me the reason why Dominic do that. Also, I wonder why you didn't tell his father the reason for Deon's death." Erick looked at Charles seriously, then exhaled a few times to calm his racing heart. Dominic's attempted murder had traumatized him d

Inside the house, Rose went straight to her room. She knew that someone who deliberately entered and rummaged through her house must be looking for something, and her room was the most targeted place. "Rose, what's wrong? Why is your house so messy?" "It looks like they want to take the evidence, Mr. Charles." Rose checked the items in her room. Things were no longer where they were. The mattress was a mess, some books fell to the floor, and even the computer was on. Rose quickly checked her computer, from important files to videos the hacker had sent about Daniel. "Damn! They've found the evidence. How is this?" Rose panicked. She bit her nails as an outlet. "Rose, what's wrong? Who has done this to you?" Charles asked in a worried tone. "This is what I was afraid of, Mr. Charles. There is someone who deliberately came here to find information about you." Rose resigned, and she immediately invited Charles to leave her house. "Let's clean up your house first. After that, we'll

Charles did not keep his word. He preferred to continue with his plan without telling his Grandfather. He would still be rude but slowly soften his attitude so that Isabella would not suspect that he wanted to find information about Dominic through her. Rose, who knew about it, couldn't do anything. She could only monitor it. Moreover, she was asked to look from afar so that Isabella would not look for more problems because she was disturbed by their closeness."Charl, do you want to go to the cafeteria?" Isabella again launched her trick. She realized that Charles could not be approached immediately, so she approached him slowly so his heart would melt. Charles, who had thought about the positives and negatives, began to carry out his plan. "Hmm." That was all that came out of his lips. "Let's go." Charles neither refused nor nodded. He let Isabella follow him. He was sure his ex-girlfriend was happy because he did not argue or reject her. This time, he would play the role of de

There were two things Charles had to do today. The first is to meet Erick and ask for an explanation as to why he contacted Damian without asking permission first. And the second was to meet Daniel and apologize to him. Although he still had to be careful, he couldn't avoid his best friend.As for his dealings with Dominic, he would leave everything to Damian and Rose. He had asked his bodyguard to find information about Dominic, his origins, and some other information that could put together a puzzle of the cause of the grudge that the man held. Apart from hoping for Rose and Damian, he will keep trying to get close to Isabella. Although it had a higher risk than just waiting for information from those two people, he would still do it because he could not stand idly by while his life was threatened. "So, Erick, is there anything you want to tell me?" Charles looked at Erick, who was already sitting on the bed quietly. Erick's body condition seemed to have improved compared to when
