EVERY EMPLOYEES of the Operations Department was in a buzz while doing their jobs. They were complaining and were in a rush while doing the tasks Kierra assigned to them with all their might when Damian opened the door and exited Kierra’s office.“I have an announcement to make,” said Damian in a cold yet disappointed tone, causing his colleagues’ brows to furrow.“And who are you to make an announcement, huh? You’re just an intern,” Rachel sneered and rolled her eyes. “Is this about your wannabe thief of the documents here?”“Yes, and now, I’m going to declare who it is,” Damian answered nonchalantly while holding a document in his hand. “I know that everyone saw me earlier with Ma’am Kierra inside her office. We were investigating every angle of the scene, so we could gather evidence about this case.”“Then why are you the one making the announcement instead of Ma’am Kierra?” Freya asked, raising a brow.“Almost everyone here has been working in the Operations Department for three y

“The real thief? What the hell are you talking about?” Freya asked, pretending to be innocent while forcing a smile. “Are you accusing me right now? But it was already proven that it was Nicole who stole the documents, right? Why are you suddenly obsessing about it?”“Because I know that it’s not her, and you’re aware of it, too,” Damian answered in a low and menacing tone. “Do you really think you can get away from this?”Freya was astounded for a moment, seeing how Damian looked at her intently. It was like he was staring into her soul, and reading her thoughts. There was something about Damian’s aura that always made her nervous, even though he wasn’t doing anything.At that moment, her skin went paler, afraid that Damian would know about her real identity.“I don’t know what you are talking about, and I don’t like how you’re accusing me,” said Freya as she regained her composure. “I’ve been working here for four years, Damian. We all had a strong bond even before you took the inte

“TORTURED? Are you sure about that?” Damian asked, his brows furrowing after hearing Raine’s words.“I am sure unless you don’t consider burning someone’s skin as an act of torture,” Raine replied, and although her words sounded sarcastic, the tone of her voice was exactly the opposite. “I think they used a gas lighter on burning your skin until it created a third-degree burn. It’s the reason why you still feel so much pain.”Damian grimaced in response. Although Raine gave him enough pain relievers to lessen the pain, it was still not enough. The wounds inside his back should heal to stop his back from hurting.“Like what I’ve said before, healing your wounds would take weeks or months, depending on how your body will respond to the medicines I gave you,” said Raine as she took a piece of paper on her table and listed all the new medicines and their dosages. “Once you’re healed, we’ll do a scar revision surgery on your back. I’ll also have another doctor to check your nerves, too.”“

“I’M SORRY, but I can’t give any details about her condition unless you’re someone close to her,” Caroline answered, sighing. “But it would be better if I can talk to her guardian, though. She’s young and fragile, and needs someone’s help.”Damian nodded, completely agreeing with Caroline’s sentiments. “She may look strong on the outside as she always tries to solve all her problems alone, but deep inside, I know how hard it is for her to deal with such things.”“You know Dollie?” Caroline asked, her brows furrowing.“I do.” Damian took his phone. He went to the gallery and showed Caroline his phone screen. “I’ve been her academic tutor for almost a year, and as time went by, I also treated her as my real younger sister. She’s someone I cherish the most.”Damian chose to hide the fact that he is Dollie’s former brother-in-law. However, all the things he said afterward were true. Now that Damian had the wealth and power, he would use it all for Dollie’s sake.“She’s smiling,” Caroline

“B-BLISSFUL MOMENTS company! It's the company I-I am working with!” Freya suddenly exclaimed, her voice stuttering, which made Damian frown. “How can I be sure that you're telling me the truth?” Damian asked, his tone authoritative. Knowing Freya, he just couldn't trust her easily. “With my entire life and reputation in your hands now, do you think I will still have the guts to lie?” Even though Freya's words sounded condescending, her tone was the exact opposite. There was a hint of panic in her voice—Something that Damian noticed. “Alright. So, what is their purpose?” Damian asked, trying to fish for information about Blissful Moments Company. “They are an event planning company that recently entered a tight competition. Since they knew that it would be hard for them to enter the top ten with just hard work, they offered me a huge amount of money in exchange for giving them the crucial documents here,” explained Freya in a low tone. “And you took it?” Damian asked, trying to
