At the base house, James walked down the dimly lit hallway and entered the living area, where Winter was waiting. Her posture tensed, eyes scanning the doorway. She seemed almost restless as if the weight of the secrets were pressing down on her shoulders. James gave her a curt nod as he approached.“Winter,” he greeted her, his voice calm but with a hint of curiosity. He knew she had valuable information about the Tarlose family, which couldn't be delayed now. Winter met his gaze, her eyes sharp. “James, I told you I have solid evidence against the Tarlose,” she began. “I have tried to open my account through the available computer here. I know who’s helping them, and I know those that have been hurt by them too.”James nodded, encouraging her to continue. “That’s good. It’s exactly what we need. We can’t go after them without understanding who’s on their side,” he spoke up, his eyes calculating. “What else do you know?”Winter hesitated, glancing away before speaking, “Ther

At the same time, Emily had just gotten to the company, together with Sarah. The little girl couldn’t stop blinking her eyes, admiring the tall building of the Thompsons' company and pointing out things that were catchy and attractive to her. ‘’ Don’t cause a scene, Sarah, there are so many people watching us and you have to keep it low alright?’’ Emily cautioned her daughter, tapping on her nose gently. ‘’ if you don’t behave, there won’t be any princess party. Is that clear?’’ Hearing what her mother just said, Sarah pouted, finding it unfair. It had been a while since she had gone out and only wanted to admire the beauty of the city. ‘’ I know what you are thinking baby.’’ Emily let out a quiet sigh, rubbing her daughter’s hands lovingly with hers. ‘’ There’s always time for everything. You will be able to admire the beauty around you once we are done with the big deal. You can your fun the way you like , but right now, the big deal comes first sweetie.’’ Blinking her eyes

" It comes with a price. Are you willing to pay the price attached to the investment?" Instantly, the poor light in Emily's eyes reduced drastically, her jaws clenching on their own! " What kind of price?!" She had no idea an investment requires a price. Or, what could this strange man be up to? " I see you are eager about the price." Code Red taunted, gently tapping on the desk." Just tell me what I need to know!" Emily had almost lost her self-control as she blurted out! " Mr. Enzo Black is our benefactor. Do you think any other person is interested in our dying company? You should respect him! Whatever you want is what you should give to him!"'Juliet intervened, glaring at Emily with dissatisfaction brimming at the corner of her eyes. Although this was also her first time meeting with the mysterious man, it was not as bad as she thought, except for his aloof kind of attitude. And this might also be her chance to achieve her goals, which she wouldn't let Emily destro

" It's you.......I have.. been looking for you all these times......." This stunned Kael, his eyes flickering with the unfamiliar woman's eyes. He seized the woman up, but there was nothing about her that rang a bell. Immediately, he was charged up, ready to protect James at all costs, since only a few people could be aware of the secret identity. Winter frowned, glancing at James, who looked down at the woman, his expression unreadable. " Who are you?"'James demanded, not startled to hear someone calling out his alter ego. " How do you know my real identity?" His eyes were lazy, but the intensity and the strong aura from him were enough to caution anyone to be wary.The frail woman coughed out loud, grinning, her dull eyes that were lifelessly lit up! " I have finally found you....." She stuttered weakly, shaking her head. " You don't know me but I know you." " You better start talking!" Kael's patience was wearing thin! " I am Samantha, a widow who has suffered since my h

James turned to Sarah with a grin. “Let’s get that doll,” he said and held Sarah’s hands. Together, they walked toward the stand, leaving Theo in awe of James’s determination.James stood in the middle of the high-end toy shop, looking around at the countless shelves filled with extravagant toys, each more elaborate than the last. There were dolls with custom outfits, miniature race cars, and carefully crafted puzzles. His gaze fell on a beautiful doll that Sarah had her heart set on. He reached for it and turned to the shop attendant, holding it up.“I would like to purchase this for my daughter,” he said simply.The shop attendant looked him up and down, her eyes narrowing. She didn’t seem impressed by his casual clothes, which looked out of place in the elegant store, which is more of another reason in reality why one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.“Are you sure, sir?” she asked, a slight smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth. “This doll is part of our exclusive lin
