After Maurer's departure, Axel stood up but Aurel suddenly grabbed his arm. "Where are you going, sir? Oh, sorry," Aurel said, realizing her flat gaze was on the arm she had grabbed. The girl immediately released her grip. Of course, Aurel was flustered, even berating herself for foolishly grabbing Axel's arm out of reflex."Since your father is no longer here, and the issue has been resolved, I shall take my leave, Miss," Axel said, accompanied by a sweet smile. Aurel nodded. "Very well, I'll walk you out."As he was about to leave Maurer's house, Axel stopped in front of the large portrait clearly displaying his mother's image. She looked so graceful and sweet when she was young. Axel's hand reached out, and his blood suddenly rushed as he remembered that the beautiful woman in the frame had perished in a cruel and horrific way."Damn it!" Axel cursed.Aurel frowned."What are you doing, Doctor? Why are you touching my late wife's portrait?"Thump! Axel quickly withdrew his hand
At another place, Le Yuna was at a law firm, she got a new client. It turned out that what Axel had said was true, that the victims of the razqa80 drug had reported to her. In the room, she was reading a stack of files and trying to understand them."I think this is dangerous, I disagree if you accept this offer, Miss. I don't want to deal with cases related to pharmaceutical chemical plants," said Khang Chul, who had entered Le Yuna's office."But, if the drug continues to circulate, more lives will be lost, Sir," Yuna answered."But, I disagree, if you want to fight against this painkiller case, you can resign from Grumman's law firm and find another law firm that is on your side. I disagree, I don't want Grumman to become an easy target for Maurer."Yuna stood up, placing the pen in her hand down. "Are you afraid of fighting against the pharmaceutical chemical plant? And, are you going to let dozens or hundreds more victims of the drug continue to add up? Then, if one of your famil
"Why?" Yuna asked when she realized that Axel was looking for something. The well-built man was even squatting down, looking under the table, trying to find his watch strap. However, the watch strap was indeed missing."My watch strap is gone, Yuna. I don't remember where I dropped it," the man said in a panic, because there was something inside that watch strap. If Maurer found out, his plan would be ruined.~•~Meanwhile, elsewhere, Maurer was still staring in dismay at the razqa80 medicine that had burned to ashes. He walked over to the pile of ashes, squatting down while looking at something.Crouching down, he brushed away the dust covering a black object, so the ashes wouldn't obscure what he was seeing. A watch strap, yes, that's right. A black watch strap was lying under the ashes."Whose watch strap is this? Is i
Bobbi devoured the woman's body, leaving only bones behind. "Clean up the bones and bury them near Bobbi's cage. I'm going to my room, today has been exhausting," said Maurer.He finally went upstairs, while Daniel instructed the other bodyguards to bury the bones.~•~ In the morning, as the sun rose into the sky and illuminated the earth, the cruel man could not sleep peacefully after the incident at his factory."Damn it, I can't rest at all," he said, immediately descending the stairs. "Bring me a cup of coffee to the back of the mansion," Maurer ordered one of his servants."Yes, sir."The middle-aged man with the perfect face walked to the back of the mansion, right in front of Bobbi's cage. Yes, that was one of Maurer's favorite spots when his heart was troubled."Daniel!" Maurer shouted, running towards Bobbi's still closed cage. The ferocious animal was curled up in a pool of blood flowing profusely. "Daniel!" he shouted again.His gaze fixed sharply on Bobbi's face and t
14.After successfully getting upstairs, Aurel quickly took off the clothes she was wearing, throwing the blood-stained shirt in any direction. Meanwhile, she hid her gun under the bed. She took another nightgown and lay down, covering herself with a thick blanket.Knock knockThe sound of footsteps approached Aurel's room door. The girl closed her eyes and prepared to act.The door opened, and a man walked into Aurel's room. He appeared to stroke the top of the girl's head."She's asleep," he said. Then he bent down and kissed the top of Aurel's head. "Good night, dear, sleep well." After giving three kisses, the man stood up and hurried out of the room.Meanwhile, Aurel wiped her forehead, crying, her sobs breaking out as she remembered how cruel Maurer had been to that woman. When she recalled how Lion had torn the woman's body to pieces, Aurel could not help but vomit and empty her stomach. HuekRunning to the sink, she vomited everything in her stomach until there was nothin
15.After twenty-four hours, news of the missing mother had reached the media."So, the woman who reported the pharmaceutical chemical case has also gone missing?" Khang Chul asked Miss Le."Yes, the woman's sister reported that her sister went missing, specifically at 10 pm," Miss Le answered. "You know, don't you? Maurer has a huge and very terrifying impact," said Khang Chul."No matter how big Maurer's impact is, I won't be afraid, sir," Miss Le replied. "I've warned you, if you still care about yourself, then discard any thought of reopening the pharmaceutical chemical case." That was all Khang Chul said before leaving again.However, before Khang Chul left, he stopped at the doorway, then came back into Miss Le's office. Bang!The door slammed loudly, startling Miss Le. Khang Chul stepped back as Mr. Maurer's entourage arrived."Were you the one who burned down my factory?" Maurer asked.Khang Chul shook his head hard. "No, why would I burn down your factory?"The man thre
16"Father, I'm ready," said Aurel. Maurer bent down to pick up his phone, while Aurel was terrified that he would find the gun she hid after eliminating Bobby."Oh, alright then, let's go dear. How was your day? I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time with you," said Maurer, looking up. This meant he may not have seen the gun Aurel hid under the bed after killing Bobby, Maurer's pet lion."Father, Aurel is very hungry," Aurel said nervously, trying to act normal. Maurer smiled and walked over to Aurel who was still standing at the bathroom door, then hugged his adopted daughter."My little baby has grown up, and will soon become a forensic doctor," said Maurer, stroking Aurel's head. Maurer was so affectionate with his daughter, truly caring for Aurel.They left Aurel's room and walked towards the dining table. The servants bowed as Aurel and Maurer came down the stairs. "Dinner with a slice of pizza and macaroni," said Maurer."There's also heated pork,
17."Hello sir, is Miss Le at the law firm?" Axel asked over the phone."Yes, hello sir, Miss Le left here at 10pm," Khang Chul's voice came through."Thank you sir, can I come to the law firm now?" Axel asked. "Sorry, I'm already at home," said Khang Chul.Axel sighed deeply, hung up, and put his phone in his pocket. "Argh! Where are you Miss Le, why aren't you answering my calls?" he muttered, rubbing his face roughly and knocking on the metal door again.Knock!Still no answer from inside. "I'm sure something's wrong," said Axel.Axel took the elevator back down to the ground floor.He went to his friend's apartment not far from Le Yuna's place, and was let in by a tall, curly-haired man."It's very late, Axel, what's up?" the thin man asked."Trace the location of my friend's number, she's been missing for two hours, since 10pm precisely," Axel said, giving him Le Yuna's number so his friend could use it to track her location."It's very late, but alright I'll help you. Come in
