The kidnappers were hung upside down, with their heads down and hands tied behind their backs. This position left them completely helpless, unable to move or try to escape. The room, full of fresh cigarettes and dust, was filled with the sweet smell of thick sugar water.One by one, the sugar water was poured out slowly, running down the kidnappers' legs until it dripped onto the floor. The sticky sensation caused them to feel uncomfortable, adding to the panic on their faces. Some of them tried to scream, but their voices were silenced by their upside-down position and the radiating pain.The building was an abandoned factory. The criminals chose this place because it was far away from the crowds. Of course, screaming would be useless to do.The leader of the kidnappers, his eyes red and full of anger, tried to struggle in place. His face was full of sugar water dripping from his forehead to his chin. "What are you going to do to me? I told you who's behind this. Let me go!" her voic
Carson clenched her fists, her body shaking with anger. It never occurred to him that his only daughter, Charlotte, could be kidnapped again, and even more surprising, the culprit was Charlotte's own aunt, Vivian."I guess this has something to do with her," Carson thought while clenching his hands into fists, even to the point of bleeding. "Nora must be involved in all this. Vivian couldn't have acted alone. She needs Nora's approval first. That must be it."Although Carson had no concrete evidence yet, her belief was almost irrefutable. Vivian could not have taken this action without Nora's blessing. Vivian wouldn't dare to take the initiative because she feared Nora, her grandmother."Daddy," Charlotte called softly, distracting Carson from the burning anger. She looked up at her father with big, hopeful eyes. "Are you a great father?"Carson looked lovingly at his daughter, though his anger still burned. He smiled softly and leaned over, looking into Charlotte's eyes with great co
As Paula was negotiating, George beat her. He didn't accept her offer. He wanted her to pay off the Unity Ventures forest right now, this very second. Paula didn't have that much money—tens of millions of dollars in debt—and it was beyond her means.Even the company's net profit after various deductions could not cover 5 percent of its debt. Moreover, the debt continues to rise monthly, with an interest rate of 7 percent."That debt is Nora's debt," Paula shouted desperately. "It has nothing to do with us because we only got the company after the debt was incurred. If you want to collect the debt, then go after Nora."Unfortunately, Gob still didn't care about Paula's explanation. "I don't care about that. All we know is that this company's debt must be settled today. You're already three months behind schedule. I will take this matter to court if you don't pay immediately."Hearing the threat, Paula panicked even more, her head moving quickly to refuse. "Please, don't do that! We'll
Carson stood in the middle of Gob, who looked terrified. Meanwhile, Carson's face was filled with burning anger. He hit Gob repeatedly. Gob tried to fight back, but he couldn't. He could only be battered. His face was swollen from the blows, and his eyes were red.Gob prostrated himself in front of Carson's feet, his body shaking with fear. "Please, forgive me!" he pleaded in a hopeful tone.Carson looked at Gob coldly, not showing the slightest pity. With one powerful kick, Carson broke Gob's nose, the cracking sound clearly audible. Gob fell down, groaning in pain. Carson took a few steps back, shaking his head. All his hard work seemed to be in vain. His anger and despair still lingered.Suddenly, Gob seemed to get an idea, a sardonic smile appearing on his bloody lips. "I will tell this to Mr. Ethan," he threatened in the hope of making use of his big name.Carson looked at Gob with a calm expression. Earlier, Gob had mentioned Ethan's name, but Carson seemed unfazed. "Ethan Clarc
Ethan swore angrily, "Damn it, Gob."What was supposed to be a calm and pleasant day turned into chaos. Ethan quickly dressed and prepared to go to the place Gob had mentioned. Once he got there, he was determined to demand accountability from Gob. Because of Gob, he had to deal with Carson. Just imagining that gave him goosebumps."That bastard should receive punishment," he added.While Ethan was fuming, one of the women with Ethan earlier got up and hugged him from behind while the other stood before him, kissing him passionately on the lips. One of them even held Ethan's crotch, trying to stimulate him as they still felt unsatisfied."Master, play with us again." He directed Ethan's hands towards his breasts.Now divided between anger and desire, Ethan said firmly, "Please stay away!"Ethan's aura changed drastically, showing deep anger. The two women immediately retreated in fear. Ethan then dressed quickly, looking severe and ready to leave."I'll leave now. You guys stay here,"
On a sunny afternoon, Gob stood in front of the office with confidence. With the sun shining around him, he waited for the arrival of Ethan, who he hoped would be able to help him. It wasn't long before a luxury car pulled up in front of him. The broad smile on her face reflected the confidence that Ethan, who had just gotten out of the vehicle, would solve her problem."You are nothing compared to Mr. Ethan," Gob said in a dismissive tone.He was confident that Ethan could handle anything with ease. However, his confidence seemed to be driven more by hope than reality. Gob did not know that Ethan had suffered a broken bone from Carson and had to undergo intensive care. He wouldn't dare fight Carson again.As Ethan approached, the atmosphere grew tense. With a sharp gaze and an aura of anger, Ethan stepped firmly toward them. Gob looked at Ethan's closeness with satisfaction, convinced that the solution to his problem was at hand."You're in trouble, young man," Gob said in a challeng
Gob frowned and fidgeted. He shook his head apprehensively. "No, don't do it!" he shouted frantically. "I haven't done anything wrong. Why do I have to put up with all this?"He couldn't accept that he had to be killed. Even though he was completely innocent. This confused him. Gob rejected all of this. He was distraught and angry, but his courage to fight Ethan was not there. The deep fear made him helpless, even though anger burned inside him.Ethan only smiled a small smile, a smile filled with certainty and a hint of indifference. "You have offended Carson, and as such, you must accept the consequences. In addition, you have also dragged me into a problem of your own making. This is your fault," Ethan explained in a firm tone.Gob looked even more confused and frustrated. "Why, who does Carson think he is? Why are you so afraid of him? He's just an ordinary guy. Why should you be afraid of him?" Gob asked in a tone full of curiosity and incomprehension.Ethan looked at Gob with wo
"This can't be," Paula whispered to herself, looking at Carson with a doubtful gaze. "Anyway, I can't be fooled by the tricks Carson does."She nodded slowly, trying to calm herself with fragile confidence. In her mind, Paula tried hard to reject the reality she was facing. Although the outcome of this situation was clearly favorable for her and the company, she constantly felt torn between recognition and rejection. Carson, whom she had taken for granted, turned out to be able to overcome this problem in a very extraordinary way.Paula's face looked tense, and her mind was in turmoil. When she looked at Carson, who stood there calmly, the skill and courage he showed became even harder to ignore. "No way," she muttered again, trying to filter out her inner voice that whispered with shame and regret. "I can't admit this."Resentment and confusion mixed within her. With a strong desire to fight reality, Paula continued to look for reasons that could justify her views and ignore Carson's
