Chapter 61: AdviceBarbara was silent at the words that came out of Steve's mouth. The man seemed to have a flat expression. The line of his lips looked so straight, as if he had predicted that Steve would ask this.The man let out a long breath. Then immediately took back the canned beer from the table, gulping it all down in one go without sparing a drop."Why do you assume Kai is a bad guy?" Barbara asked back with a furrowed brow. The man threw the empty can into the trash by throwing it, exactly the same way Terry had done it earlier. Again, the sound of the can making contact with the trash can created quite a loud noise. Steve even covered his ears because the sound made by the can was too loud for him."I know because what he said was very suspicious," Steve said in a steady tone. He looked at his father with a straight gaze."And again, I feel that he has other intentions and wants to use me as his pawn," continued Steve, explaining what was in his head. His tone of voice

Chapter 63: DiscordSteve frowned at the words that came out of Terry's mouth. He was surprised that Terry was questioning him about his answers, which was something Terry rarely did to him.However, Steve felt uncomfortable with the tone of voice the man was using. Why did Terry seem to blame him? Was it wrong for him to want to gain knowledge that would make him better than he was before? What was really going on? Was there something he didn't know about X?Steve's focus shifted to Ben's cell phone, which had fallen to the floor, close to his feet. "Ben, your cell phone fell."Steve bent down to pick up Ben's cell phone. Steve could see that the screen was cracked, with lines running vertically across it. Once it was in his hands, he gave the phone to its owner."Here," Steve handed the phone to Ben, who was still staring at it blankly. "Be careful next time. Look, the screen is cracked."Ben immediately accepted the cell phone. His eyes rounded when he realized that the screen looke

Chapter 65: Trying to Talk The three men turned their heads towards the source of the sound, precisely to the doorway that had been open for some time. The three of them could see that there was a white-haired girl leaning against it with her arms folded in front of her chest."What do you mean you don't know the reason either?"Ben asked the girl another question. His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles looked white. His jaw tightened until the veins of his neck stood out with his mouth tightly closed. Ben's heterochromia eyes were now staring at the white-haired girl with a sharp gaze. The intimidating aura that Ben had just came out—so dense and so dark. He considered the girl an enemy that needed to be destroyed.The atmosphere became heated in just a few seconds. The air seemed to be so thin that Terry and Steve had trouble breathing. Both of them glanced at each other, looking confused about what to do with the current situation.The white-haired girl gave a small

Chapter 67: Moral Values Daniel and Layla immediately turned their heads when Barbara returned from outside. Daniel's soot-black eyes did not move an inch from Barbara, who was now sitting back in his chair.Barbara again held the folder containing the cooperation documents that he had to check. Occasionally, he would also take a sip of the coffee that was already available on the table to relieve the drowsiness that was attacking him."Mr. Barbara," Layla again called Barbara in a soft tone. The girl smiled slightly as Barbara turned his focus from the document he was reading to her."How was it? Are you interested in working with the Griffin family?"Barbara let out a tired sigh. The man removed the glasses that had been perched on his nose all morning. His hand reached out to massage his head, which felt dizzy and throbbing."As I said, Miss Layla, I don't-""Can't you consider it one more time?" asked Layla, who immediately interrupted Barbara's speech. The girl knew that what

Chapter 69: Plan Z 0502Kai turned his head towards Steve, who was currently questioning him. His eyes narrowed when he saw Steve, who was staring at him with a curious look. Kai smiled slyly and put the cell phone she was using back into his pocket. After that, he pulled Steve's hand and walked away from the crowd. Steve looked resigned as his hand was pulled by Kai. The man didn't protest when Kai took him somewhere quite far from the previous point. Kai took him to the side of Rosemary's company garden, which was at the very back. Steve's eyes traveled all over and found that this place was not well maintained. This could be seen from the tall weeds and flowers that looked unkempt. Steve raised his eyebrows as he looked at Kai with a questioning look."Why did you bring me here?"Kai smiled a little as he actively asked such a question. The amber-eyed man was looking up at the sky, which looked quite clear. Since both of them were under a shady tree, the sunlight did not sting t
