***The following morning,Nathan was sitting on one of the couches in his living room. Now that he knows that there is something fishy going on with the Smith family, he started thinking of ways he could get into the Smith family house and get into the old man’s office without anyone knowing about it. He knew that with the security in the house, it would be impossible to do that, and that he needed to get someone to infiltrate the house without anyone noticing.That was when Nathan had the idea that he needed to get a cleaner to work for the Smith family and get that information for him. Nathan knew that only a cleaner would be able to walk into any room in the house without being questioned. Now all he has to do is find out whether they need a new cleaner or maid, and if they don’t, he will find a way to get one fired and replace him or her. Nathan was not willing to give up on finding out the truth about what happened to his parents. He was willing to do whatever it takes to get th

***The afternoon sun cast long shadows through the blinds of Thomas's dimly lit office as he sat behind his desk, engrossed in paperwork. The low hum of the city outside seemed to fade into the background as his focus remained on the task at hand. Suddenly, the shrill ring of his phone pierced through the silence, jolting him from his concentration.Thomas reached for the sleek black device, his fingers hovering over the answer button before decisively pressing it to his ear. A gravelly voice emanated from the other end, cutting through the air like a knife."Sir, the job is done," the thug on the line declared, his words laced with a hint of satisfaction.A wry smile curled at the corners of Thomas's lips. "Good. Tell me everything. I hope y’all didn’t beat him to where he would die, right?"The thug proceeded to describe the ruthless encounter they had orchestrated against Nathan, detailing the calculated violence that was inflicted upon him. Thomas listened intently, his eyes narr

Nathan’s parents did leave their wealth behind, but Nathan left it and faked his own death, leaving it for the nine heirs of the Amber family to control. Only a few people in the AI Carson know that Nathan is alive, and those are his subordinates. Nathan did not care for the wealth, as all he needed was revenge for his parents' deaths.“No, the truth is, their wealth wasn’t totally theirs; it belongs to all the Amber siblings, so when they died, I only got a small portion of the wealth, which I invested some into stocks and others in my ex-wife's company." Nathan hoped that old man Smith would stop asking him questions after this.“That’s good to hear; it’s my honor to have you work for me." Old man Smith was happy to have Nathan working for him. He would have never thought in a million years that the son of the Amber family would be working for him.“I just wanted to have this discussion with you and know if you were related to the Ambers that I know now that it is cleared. I want to

With a steady hand, Gwen gestured towards the array of photos, her voice calm yet determined. "I need you to identify them, Nathan. We need to find out who Thomas is, who could be behind the attack."Nathan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the images as he searched for a familiar face. Each photograph held its own story, its own secrets waiting to be revealed.And then, amidst the sea of faces, Nathan's eyes alighted upon a figure he knew all too well—Thomas Downs. The memory of his encounter with him flooded back into his mind. He remembered how he beat him up during the taxi accident he was in. But Nathan had no idea that his name was Thomas."I know him." Nathan's voice was tinged with a mix of surprise and shock."We've crossed paths before."Gwen's brow furrowed in concern, her gaze probing as she sought to unravel the tangled web of Nathan's past."Could he be the one behind the attack?" she asked, her voice weighted with uncertainty.Nathan hesitated, his thoughts racing as he gr

"What are you doing here, Alex?" Karina's voice was tinged with suspicion as she watched him approach, her gaze searching his face for any hint of deceit or ulterior motive.Alex offered her a reassuring smile, his eyes shining with warmth and concern."I was just in the neighborhood and happened to see your car," he said, his voice calm and measured. "I thought I'd check in and make sure you were okay. You seem a bit... out of sorts."Karina's brow furrowed in confusion as she processed Alex's words, her mind racing to make sense of the situation. She knew that his explanation was plausible, that he could have stumbled upon her by chance in a city as bustling and chaotic as this. And yet, a part of her couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this than met the eye—more to Alex's intentions than he was letting on. But she was tipsy and couldn’t think properly.Before she could respond, however, Alex spoke again, his voice soft and reassuring. "Why don't you let me take you ho
