Dozens of cars filled Arthur's front yard precisely at one in the afternoon.A long table was set up in front of the luxurious mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and Arthur was more than ready to launch an attack on Samuel."How do I look?" Gideon asked Madeline, busy adjusting his slicked-back hair in front of the mirror.Madeline looked captivated, her mouth slightly agape as she admired Gideon's handsomeness."I’ve never seen a man as perfect as you, Gideon. I still can't believe you're going to be my partner."Gideon glanced at Madeline with a slightly annoyed expression.Once again, Madeline wasn’t his type, and hearing such remarks made him uncomfortable.He chuckled lightly without commenting and quickly left the room to approach Arthur, who seemed busy managing his assistants."Mr. Brook, is everything ready?" Gideon asked."Yes, the reporters have also arrived. We’re just waiting for my lawyer's signal.""Mr. Brook, everything is set," the lawyer standing at the f

The answer given by Joey made Arthur less satisfied. What Arthur wanted was for Joey to shout loudly to oppose Samuel instead of giving a neutral statement. Arthur raised both hands above his head, asking the busy journalists who had been questioning Joey about Samuel’s whereabouts to be quiet. “I don’t want to waste time, and I’m not someone who talks without evidence!” “Everyone here, including you, Chief Joey, surely understands the strong influence my family has.” “How many parts of this city have become prosperous? Answer me!” Everyone fell silent and was stunned by Arthur’s voice, full of anger. “I can see how you all think my words are just nonsense! I know it!” Arthur shouted again, then took a deep breath. Arthur’s unstable condition made Gideon want to take over, but Arthur immediately turned to him and said, “Let me speak, you sit there!” Arthur was truly out of control; every journalist present had paid little attention to the issue he raised earlier.

The spectacle became something that caused a stir all over the city. People gathered, eagerly awaiting what Arthur would say next.“Okay, I’ll do an investigation with one of the residents here!” Arthur signaled for the journalists to follow him. He walked confidently toward a white house covered in hanging flowers on its walls.“What is he going to do?” Joey murmured. Everyone looked serious as they watched Arthur.Joey, however, accidentally glanced back at Sarah, the female journalist who had been standing near him earlier. Once again, Sarah signaled that she, too, was clueless about Arthur's behavior.“Hey, what are you filming? Hurry up and follow Mr. Brook!” Gideon snapped at several journalists who seemed indifferent, only pointing their cameras in the opposite direction of Arthur.“What do you think we’ll find, truth or lies?” Sarah asked Joey.“I hope the second option is the answer to all this,” Joey replied.“Hmm, interesting, from what you said, it seems like you’re not en

The woman still stared with anger, then stepped outside her house, shocked by the larger number of people. "What is this!? What are you doing?!" She turned back to Arthur and asked, "Who are you really, and what is your purpose?!" In the midst of the chaos, a woman in a wheelchair appeared from inside the house. The woman had pale skin, sunken eyes, and an extremely thin body. Her eye circles were also blackened, as if she had never found a nutritious meal in her life. "Okay! This is really clear!" Arthur shouted loudly. He grabbed one of the reporters and pushed him to focus the camera on the woman more closely. "Look at how terrifying the consequences of excessive drug use are! Let me guess, Meth, Coke, I’m sure there are plenty of injection marks under that cloth covering her body!" Arthur shouted with satisfaction. "What the fuck!" The brown-haired woman shoved the reporter hard, sending him crashing into the wall. The situation became tense, and Joey imm

The young woman stepped forward, her hands steady despite the weight of the moment. She began to speak, her voice calm yet imbued with a quiet intensity that silenced even the most skeptical of listeners.“My father,” she started, her eyes scanning the crowd, “was a soldier—a man of honor who gave everything for this country.”Her words hit the gathered reporters and onlookers like a thunderclap. The murmurs faded as her story unfolded. She explained how Samuel Hayes, a man often accused of villainy, had established this neighborhood to care for the families of fallen soldiers and severely injured veterans who didn’t qualify for government support.“For years,” she continued, her voice unwavering, “we struggled in silence, forgotten by the very country my father fought to protect. The government turned us away, citing confidentiality and red tape as excuses. But Samuel Hayes… he didn’t see us as statistics or liabilities. He saw us as human beings who deserved dignity.”Her words carr

Arthur paced nervously in his office, the weight of the recent scandal pressing heavily on his shoulders. The photos of Samuel with the community residents, smiling and shaking hands, had gone viral. The media painted Samuel as a selfless man who prioritized the well-being of the underprivileged. Arthur, on the other hand, was now under intense scrutiny, labeled as cold and indifferent by the same reporters. His reputation, the company’s stock, and his image as a respected businessman were all on the line. With no other choice, Arthur decided to take a different approach. He adjusted his tie, forced a smile, and stood in front of a crowd of reporters who were eager to hear his response to the growing controversy. “I’ve recently come to understand the importance of continuing Samuel’s work,” Arthur said, his voice calm but practiced. “I will personally take over the responsibilities he started and ensure that the community receives the support and resources it needs to thrive. This i

Lisa’s father sat in his lavish office, staring at the screen in front of him with a growing sense of rage. The live stream that had been circulating online was filled with praises for Samuel. The comments were overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their belief that the state would fall apart without Samuel's support. It was clear that Samuel had garnered a loyal following, and that thought gnawed at Lisa's father.For years, he had held the reins of power in the state, his influence stretching into every corner of society. He had built an empire, both in business and politics, and his name was synonymous with authority. Now, it seemed that Samuel, the outsider, had come out of nowhere and was threatening to take it all away. Lisa’s father didn’t trust him—he believed there had to be a hidden agenda, some dark secret behind Samuel’s charity and benevolent acts. How else could someone gain so much support so quickly? There had to be a catch.As he scrolled through the live stre

Samuel’s chest tightened as Sarah’s words echoed in his mind. "I’ve got your back. I always have." It had been years since he’d heard anything like that from her, and it stirred a mix of emotions he wasn’t prepared to face.Sarah folded her arms, leaning against the table as she observed his reaction. She wasn’t one to mince words or let silence linger for too long. “Look, Samuel,” she said, her voice soft but firm. “I know this is a lot to process, but you don’t have to do this alone. You’ve got a whole community rallying behind you, and now, you’ve got me too.”Samuel nodded slowly, still struggling to find the right words. “I appreciate that, Sarah. I really do. But...why now? Why come back into my life at this moment? And how did you even get involved in all this?”She chuckled, the sound warm and familiar, easing some of his tension. “Well, it’s a long stor

Samuel sat in the dimly lit corner of the police station, staring at the worn-out table before him. The faint hum of the fluorescent lights overhead made the room feel even more stifling, but his mind was far too preoccupied to care. Across from him sat Sarah, the woman he had last seen years ago, now standing before him with a certain familiarity that made his heart skip. Her presence stirred up emotions he hadn’t thought about in ages. And beside her, Joey was pacing back and forth, glancing at them with curiosity. Samuel could feel the unease in Joey’s eyes as he studied Sarah. The younger man didn’t know her, and it was clear from his gaze that he was perplexed by the sudden appearance of this woman. Joey had been Samuel’s closest ally for a long time, yet this new dynamic clearly threw him off. However, Samuel didn’t feel the need to explain. He knew that some things were better left unsaid—at least for now. “So, Samuel,” Sarah began, breaking the silence that had hung thick

Samuel sat across from Sarah, his eyes narrowing as he processed her words. It was already shocking enough that she had appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be here on behalf of her late grandfather. But her next statement left him completely stunned.“I’m here to bail you out,” Sarah said calmly, her voice carrying an air of certainty as if this was no big deal.Joey, who had been leaning against the wall, froze mid-step. He stared at Sarah, his expression a mix of disbelief and confusion. “Wait a minute,” Joey said, stepping forward. “You’re here to bail him out? Do you even know how much his bail is? It’s seven hundred million dollars.”He let out a laugh, but it was more out of incredulity than amusement. “Lisa and Arthur set that amount so high because they knew no one could pay it. Not even the richest people in the country could come up with that kind of money overnight.”Samuel remained silent, studying Sarah’s reaction. He was curious to see if the mention of such an astronom
