Chapter 71: Barbara's SideBarbara placed the briefcase containing the documents on the table in the living room. His hand stretched out to remove the suit that had been attached to his body. Once the suit was off, Barbara loosened the tie that had been strangling his neck.He looked around the house at Rosemary's residence. The house looked so quiet. As far as the eye could see, there were only maid passing by. Barbara furrowed his brow, feeling as if something was missing."Hey," Barbara said, stopping one of the maid who was about to walk into the kitchen carrying some fruit. The maid turned around wordlessly, focusing her attention on the boss. "Do you know where Aleena went?"The maid seemed to think for a while as she closed her eyes. Before long, a recorded memory flashed through her mind. "Oh, Mrs. Aleena is going to the place where young master Aaron is currently staying, sir.""To Aaron's place?" Barbara asked back in a curious tone. "Why is she going there?""Mrs. Aleena mis

Chapter 73: X (1)Terry was stunned at the answer that came out from the person who had called him. His body froze for a few moments. His heart seemed to stop beating as his breath was held.His eyes were rounded as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Sweat the size of corn kernels began to break out from his forehead, sliding freely without pause. His voice caught in his throat, as if something was holding him back."What?" Terry regained his voice with difficulty while swallowing saliva forcefully.There was a rough sigh that Terry could hear on the other side. "I'm X," the man replied in a steady and serious voice."Stop prying about me if you still want to live," he continued in a pressing tone.Terry laughed forcefully in a discordant tone. It sounded so strange to hear. "Why should I obey you?""Because-" X seemed to pause his words for a moment, looking too confused to answer the question that came out of Terry's mouth."Because of what?" Terry urged while smiling t

Chapter 75: Conditions Steve immediately approached Kai with a serious look. Once the distance between the two was close, Steve swallowed the food left in his mouth."Sure, I heard it even though it was just a faint sound."That remark made Kai breathe a sigh of relief. He put his bread on his lap. "What did you hear?""I only heard the phrase, please remember my name." Steve thought hard to remember what Kai had just said. "The next, I don't know, because your voice was so quiet."Kai smiled slightly as he stood up from his sitting position. This, of course, made Steve frown. "Where are you going?""I have to go home. I just remembered there's another event today," Kai scratched his unitchy head awkwardly. "Is it okay if I explain about investments and such tomorrow?"Steve laughed awkwardly. He felt bad for Kai because his intention was to meet with X. "Of course. You can teach me when you have free time.""Then I'll leave first. See you later."Kai quickly moved away from the pa

Chapter 77: ConjectureAfter getting a call from an unknown number, Daniel was pensive for a few moments. His mind drifted aimlessly. The cell phone in his hand even fell without him realizing it.“Minji,” He murmured softly, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of surprise. His lips trembled violently as his eyes heated up slightly. There was a feeling of relief mixed with worry that now filled his head.The sooty-eyed man didn’t even realize that his youngest sister, Layla, had entered the room. The girl frowned in surprise as her brother looked pensive with a very blank look in his eyes.“Daniel?” Layla called out as she tapped the elder Griffin hard on the shoulder.Daniel gasped in surprise at the touch. He glanced at Layla, his eyes blinking a few times.“Yes?”“Why do you look surprised like that?” Layla asked again while putting away the document that Daniel had to sign today.Daniel’s mouth felt paralyzed to speak, as if something were holding him back. His heart screamed fo

Chapter 79: The Truth (1)Steve frowned as he heard the words that came out of Terry's mouth. His eyes narrowed with a serious look."Did you find a common thread in what he said?" asked Ben quickly, ahead of Steve, who was about to speak."Yes, I found all the threads." Terry smiled slightly, then put the pen he was using between his ears."Only there's still one more thing missing," he continued."What is it?"Terry smiled mysteriously. "A secret. The point is, I still need one more thing to prove everything in this notebook." Terry closed the notebook he often used and put it in his pocket. This provoked curiosity in both Ben and Steve.The two men stared at each other with blinking eyes for a few seconds, as if they were telepaths. After that, Steve and Ben broke their eye contact and looked at Terry with the same, puzzled look."Honestly, i don't understand what you're saying. But can you tell us both what's in the notebook?" Ben asked, trying to persuade his younger brother.H
