"My brother is still on his way from out of town. I told him you guys wanted to meet, and he's coming straight home," said Jeslyn, who walked in front of Clarita and Secretary Jorell, leading them into the living room. "But you can rest easy. He has a very reliable driver for important things like this. It will probably be here soon.""There's no need to rush," said Clarita, sitting on the sofa next to Secretary Jorell. "Mr. Miles is very busy. It would be an honor for us to meet and speak with him in person.""What are you talking about?" Jeslyn chuckled softly. "It is my brother who is honored to speak with you."Suddenly, Clarita chuckled too."But, by the way, why did you want to see my brother? Is there something?" asked Jeslyn, looking at Clarita and Secretary Jorell in turn.But the man didn't seem to want to open his mouth. As evidenced by his gaze that had been fixed on the table with his mouth clamped shut."There is one thing we need Mr. Miles' help with," Clarita replied b

Clarita, who had been calm, was instantly so nervous that her hands were sweating.However, at Secretary Jorell's side, the man still looked calm. "There is indeed a risk. But doesn't everything have a risk? This trip would not be fun without risks, even small ones.""But the risk in this project is very high. You can't play around with something like this," the other man said in a high voice that sounded arrogant.Secretary Jorell was still calm. He smiled and nodded slowly. "We know. Chairman Felix has reviewed it thoroughly and confirmed that the risk will not affect the project.""So? Right now, he's in the hospital. And according to the latest news, he's not making any progress. If this continues, Secretary Jorell, isn't that already a very high risk, even more than the project itself?" The other man replied but with much better speech than the previous men.Hence, Secretary Jorel, who had been on the verge of being annoyed, was instantly dispelled. His gaze turned to the man, an

"Chloe, what happened?" asked Clarita anxiously with bated breath.Chloe, crouched down and crying with her face hidden in her hands, looked up. As soon as she saw her sister, her lips trembled again, with tears flowing even faster.Of course, Clarita panicked even more. She squatted in front of Chloe and asked again. "Why? What happened? Why are you crying?"Secretary Jorell stared into the room, looking at his master, who was still as before and then turned to Chloe, who was still unable to speak because of her sobs."Chloe." Clarita could wait no longer and needed an explanation.Chloe tried to stop her crying, but it wasn't easy. "Brother Felix, sister. Just now... Brother Felix was-""Yes?" Clarita looked at Chloe intently, waiting patiently for the girl to finish her sentence.Chloe's tears broke out again, making Clarita unable to bear it, and she immediately pulled her into her arms. Her tears fell when she saw how hysterical her sister's cries were. Chloe must have been scare

"What did you mean by that?" Ardo asked again after they were inside his car.However, Sarina did not answer. The girl continued to look down, smacking her lips while playing with her hands, like someone who felt hesitant to express it.Of course, Ardo couldn't stand it. His curiosity had soared since the cafe earlier. "Sarina.""Ardo," replied Sarina, who then looked at Ardo with a serious face.Ardo's forehead spontaneously creased faintly. "Why?""Do you know Felix very well? Know most of his life?" Instead of answering, Sarina asked a question that made the frown on Ardo's forehead even more obvious."What do you mean?" Ardo was getting more and more clueless. He looked frustrated in the midst of his growing confusion. "Say it! Tell me everything that's on your mind openly. Don't make me have to think hard, Sarina!"Sarina fell silent again. She stared at Ardo intently and then turned her gaze forward. She sighed before she finally said, "Since meeting Felix and getting to know hi

"This isn't true, right? Hurry up and tell me! It's all a lie, right? That man who gave me a lot of money wasn't a criminal. He cared about Felix and said they were family, just like those people said. That guy seemed nice so he couldn't be lying." Lillian tried to deny the reality and kept urging David to agree with her. She even held his hand tightly, trying to find a grip as her body crumpled with fear and shock. "That's right. She can't be lying. It could be those people. Right?""Honey, stop denying reality. Everything is clear. They've even shown evidence that the man who came to interview you that day is a fraud. He's even more than that. A criminal. You know what that means, right?" David grabbed Lillian's shoulder and jerked her twice, hoping she would come to her senses and stop being in denial."But, isn't it sophisticated now? Photos or writings like that could just-""Lillian!" snapped David, who couldn't take it anymore. That made Lillian startled and fell silent, starin
