Angela squinted. She actually wanted to spit out curses at Scott in response to his rude attitude, but what Scott had just said about the private detective confused her.Scott knew about the private detective hired by her and her mother? Really? How did he know?And what did he mean by the private detective no longer working for them? Had Scott made the private detective defect?Angela shook her head. Seriously! She, with her mother's approval, had paid the private detective a lot, even increasing his pay after their latest agreement. It was impossible for a Scott Goodman, who in her eyes was still a man from an ordinary background, to offer a more fantastic amount to the private detective."If you're only here to say empty words, you should leave now, get out of my office and get out of our office!" Angela said loudly, pointing to the door.Scott furrowed his brow, raising one eyebrow. A thin smirk appeared on his face."Empty words? Do you think what I just said to you is empty word

Scott drove his black McLaren quickly. His eyes were focused forward and his face was tense. The veins in his neck were visible and his jaw seemed to look more defined.He had only left the bowling alley five minutes ago. Right now, he was heading to the home of Palmer, the private detective.Bzz! Bzz!His phone on the car dashboard vibrated. Scott picked it up. An incoming call from Steve."What's up, Steve?"[Mr. Scott, there's information I need to tell you. This is related to what the bodyguard I hired found at the private detective's house...]"There are two corpses in the basement there?"Silence for a moment.[You already knew that, Mr. Scott?]"Yes. I'm on my way there now. Is the bodyguard you hired still there?"[Still, sir.]"Tell him not to do anything to the two corpses. Just guard them until I or the soldiers arrive there."[Okay, sir. I'll tell him. Is there anything else I need to tell him?]Scott was silent for a moment, wrinkles appearing on his forehead."That's all

Palmer finally understood why Eva, who could have easily killed him, said that Scott's level was far above hers. Right now, he was seeing—and feeling—the evidence with his own eyes—and his own body—himself.‘This punch… I wouldn't have been in this much pain if it was a normal punch. Right now, I feel like my internal organs are shattered…’That's what Palmer said in his heart. The expression on his face and the look in his eyes confirmed what he was feeling.Meanwhile, Scott didn't care at all about what Palmer was feeling. He grabbed Palmer's leather jacket collar, lifted him up until Palmer's feet were tiptoeing. His eyes glared at Palmer.“Answer! Don't test my patience!” Scott said.Palmer stared deep into Scott's round eyes. Again, he was overtaken by the fear that had overtaken him when Eva held a sharp knife to his neck. Only this time, it was many times higher.He could feel his legs trembling.“I… I'm trying… to find out who they are… uhuk…”Palmer coughed. Fresh blood flowe

About ten minutes later, when she had to stop again because the red light at the intersection was on, Eva finally realized that they were being followed."Scott, do you see that black van behind us? Haven't they been behind us since earlier?" Eva chimed in.Scott glanced at the outside rearview mirror on his right. Not finding the black van she meant, he switched to the inside rearview mirror.And indeed, as Eva said, the black van was there again, behind them. Scott himself had actually been aware of the presence of the black van earlier, but he didn't suspect at all that the people in that car were stalking him because the car's movements were normal. But now, after thinking about Eva's words carefully, he began to think that Eva's guess made sense."Who are they? Do you know that black van? Try checking the license plate number," Scott said.Eva took out her phone and turned to look behind her. Equipped with special features, Eva's phone camera could be zoomed in many times its res

When Luisa slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in a small, cramped room. Wondering why she couldn't move her arms, she looked down and found herself sitting tied to the back of a chair. Her legs weren't tied, but it was useless; there wasn't much she could do. She couldn't scream either because her mouth was covered with tape.Luisa looked around, scanning the room. The room's interior was dominated by a vibe that highlighted intimacy, with colors that could arouse desire and passion. There was no doubt, this was a room that was usually used by two adults to make love.Luisa immediately remembered the days of misfortune she had experienced at the Red Velvet brothel. The rooms at The Red Velvet were much larger and more luxurious than this room, but the vibe was similar. Remembering this of course made Luisa uncomfortable. Her heart suddenly beat faster. Her breaths also quickened.Still scanning the room, Luisa wondered how she could have ended up there. She tried to remember wh
