"Isn't it weird?" Chloe looked at Clarita and Veronica, sitting on either side of her with their eyebrows drawn together in seriousness. She even moved her body forward, acting like someone investigating something. "Think about it. Jeslyn went missing while looking for my brother, far from the hospital. But why is she suddenly in a deserted hallway leading to the back door? It doesn't make sense. Maybe if it were my brother and Olivia, it would still be understandable since they were admitted here in the first place. But even so, isn't it still strange? They went missing consecutively and were found consecutively as well. Even then, the discovery was completely unexpected."Unfortunately, it seemed that Clarita and Veronica's minds were not right. The long-winded remarks were just like a passing wind that went unheeded.They didn't even realize that from the moment they sat down in the hospital cafeteria, they hadn't moved an inch and were just pensive with complicated expressions, li
"What's wrong with you?" Felix asked after a moment of silence, and Veronica's crying subsided.Veronica didn't answer right away. But she slowly pulled away and looked at Felix intently. "Am I important to you?""What do you mean?" Felix did not understand."Felix, do you know how much I'm worried about you? I was worried about you and rushed over as soon as I learned about your condition. But, before I had much time for you, you disappeared. Now you're back, but have you ever thought about me? What do I mean to you? Is my presence in your life that important?" Veronica asked in rapid succession. Every time her mouth moved, her gaze didn't leave Felix's, making the man's face change slightly."Why are you suddenly asking me this?" But even so, Felix still responded flatly. There was neither warmth nor coldness. His voice was somewhere between apparent indifference.Veronica's eyes glazed over again. She quickly looked down and wiped them away. She did not know why she had suddenly be
After some drama, Felix returned to his home, Pratama's mansion.Of course, his return was welcomed enthusiastically by Austin and Caitlin, who had really missed him. They immediately clung to Felix's head and competed to be carried. Austin didn't even care that he was a teenage boy."Brother Felix is recovering?" asked Caitlin, who hugged one of Felix's legs and looked up at him with a big smile.Felix smiled slightly and rubbed the top of her head lightly. "Yes.""So now Brother Felix isn't going anywhere anymore?" It was Austin's turn to ask, making Felix look at him but not answer. "I miss you. Can you come with me to play and study?""No, you can't! Big Brother Felix will take me for a walk! You go with Sister Clarita or Sister Chloe instead," Caitlin snapped fiercely.Then she looked back at Felix and raised both hands, asking to be carried. "Brother, carry me quickly!""Caitlin, Brother Felix just got out of the hospital, let him rest." Austin ignorantly lowered Caitlin's outst
"Tomorrow is the opening of the project. How did it go? Did we make the right decision?" Mr. Wesley, on behalf of several people, asked everyone to present at their secret meeting in a five-star restaurant with a soundproof VIP room. "So far, there has been no definite news about Chairman Felix. Ms. Clarita must be busy thinking about him and doesn't have time to consider the company's problems in this crisis. We should plan something else so that if something happens tomorrow, we don't panic too much.""What Mr. Wesley said is completely true. I was confident in Ms. Clarita at first. But now, my confidence is dwindling. What if tomorrow's event goes awry? This big project is the only way to prop up the plummeting stock. If something goes wrong, the company will be ruined," said one of the company's top brass.Then he looked at the finance manager and asked, "Is what I'm saying true?"The finance manager didn't answer immediately. He first looked at everyone present and sighed, then n
"Bad news, sir," Secretary Jorell replied without daring to look at Felix directly.Suddenly, Felix raised one eyebrow. The look on his face was so unpleasant at Secretary Jorell's long-windedness that he asked impatiently. "What is it?""You can see it on the company's forum." Secretary Jorell looked at Felix and the tablet lying on the table in turn, making Felix even more confused, but he did as he was told.As soon as he opened it, the first thing that popped up was the news about the disappearance that was still unaccounted for. Felix's thick eyebrows moved as his eyes moved to read the words written there, saying that his disappearance might have been interfered with by the people around him."Since when was this news released?" Felix glanced at Secretary Jorell and returned his gaze to his tablet screen, scrolling through what was there."It was released yesterday. I contacted the person who posted it, and he deleted it. But the same article reappeared. And it happened three ti
"Jorell, I really don't want to go in," Clarita whined sadly. Her once fresh face was now wilted, with her lips curled downward. She really didn't feel up to facing the people in there. It felt like she was going to be thrown into hell. So horrible!Secretary Jorell sighed softly. He honestly couldn't bear to see the usually haughty and mischievous Miss Clarita become this pathetic. But what could he do? This was an order from Lord Felix. There was no way he could argue with him.If his Master showed up and took her place in dealing with them, it would not be good for Miss Clarita's image. They would look down on her and think she was easy to bully. Perhaps there was some truth in what his Master had said back then, that Miss Clarita should start learning to face obstacles in life."Miss, haven't you always been very tough and not afraid of anything? Let's just say that the people inside are the ones you hate the most. Once they attack you, of course, you wouldn't just stand by and ch
"Will that makeup for the company's millions in losses? Ms. Clarita, your clarification is unimportant, so there's no need for it. What we want here is your conviction and determination in carrying out the project." One of the men in the audience interjected sharply.Secretary Jorell and Clarita stared at him.It was a young man about Miles' age. His seating position was at the end. He hadn't said a word, so his presence wasn't the center of attention. Clarita had just realized that there was also a young man like him."As for whether or not you are the mastermind behind the Chairman's disappearance, I honestly don't want to say too much. But this is a time of crisis for the company. If you did it, I hope you can handle it. Because no matter what, the Chairman's presence is needed here. If you can replace him, then prove it! If you can, I won't care about the others." The man continued his words clearly and precisely."Wait!" Clarita was unhappy with the man's words, which she had alr
Mr. Wesley flung himself onto the single sofa in his room. A blissful smile graced his chubby face. His mood was so good it was like being filled with thousands of flowers. "Ah, I finally got it. This is beyond my expectations. I didn't think that things would go this smoothly. It seems God likes me a lot and is helping me on my journey.""You're right, sir. Perhaps the Gods see you as competent and worthy of a reward. Congratulations to you, Mr. Wesley. May you become even more successful." Mr. Desmond smiled flatteringly.Mr. Wesley's smile grew even larger upon hearing this. He fixed his sitting position and looked at the three people in front of him with sparkling eyes. "Yes. This is a gift for me. In the future, there will be even more amazing gifts."Mr. Desmond and the other man nodded in agreement, still with his flattering smile.However, the other man, much younger than them, suddenly said, "Mr. Wesley, I hope you don't break your promise."In that instant, Mr. Wesley's perf
