"Chloe, what happened?" asked Clarita anxiously with bated breath.Chloe, crouched down and crying with her face hidden in her hands, looked up. As soon as she saw her sister, her lips trembled again, with tears flowing even faster.Of course, Clarita panicked even more. She squatted in front of Chloe and asked again. "Why? What happened? Why are you crying?"Secretary Jorell stared into the room, looking at his master, who was still as before and then turned to Chloe, who was still unable to speak because of her sobs."Chloe." Clarita could wait no longer and needed an explanation.Chloe tried to stop her crying, but it wasn't easy. "Brother Felix, sister. Just now... Brother Felix was-""Yes?" Clarita looked at Chloe intently, waiting patiently for the girl to finish her sentence.Chloe's tears broke out again, making Clarita unable to bear it, and she immediately pulled her into her arms. Her tears fell when she saw how hysterical her sister's cries were. Chloe must have been scare
Everyone panicked and looked at each other with tense faces. Bliss swallowed and tried to remain calm even though his heart was already beating wildly."Find a way out or go hide! Hurry up!" Without waiting for the others, Bliss immediately stepped to the right side of the room with his quick steps. Some of them immediately followed, and some headed in the other direction.However, it turned out that the right side Bliss was heading for was the kitchen. The man thinned his lips in annoyance and looked around at the mess with dust and cobwebs everywhere."Boss, there's a cupboard here. Enough for you to hide in it!" A man suddenly voiced out while opening the door of the weathered cupboard.Bliss looked at it with a hardened face. Why did he realize now that his men were so stupid and unreliable?"Boss," he called again.Bliss gave him a cynical glance and looked the other way without responding. If there were no police in front of this house, he would have beaten him to a pulp."That
"What did you mean by that?" Ardo asked again after they were inside his car.However, Sarina did not answer. The girl continued to look down, smacking her lips while playing with her hands, like someone who felt hesitant to express it.Of course, Ardo couldn't stand it. His curiosity had soared since the cafe earlier. "Sarina.""Ardo," replied Sarina, who then looked at Ardo with a serious face.Ardo's forehead spontaneously creased faintly. "Why?""Do you know Felix very well? Know most of his life?" Instead of answering, Sarina asked a question that made the frown on Ardo's forehead even more obvious."What do you mean?" Ardo was getting more and more clueless. He looked frustrated in the midst of his growing confusion. "Say it! Tell me everything that's on your mind openly. Don't make me have to think hard, Sarina!"Sarina fell silent again. She stared at Ardo intently and then turned her gaze forward. She sighed before she finally said, "Since meeting Felix and getting to know hi
Instantly, the woman's expression turned surprised. But a moment later, she smiled sweetly with a friendly face. "Are you guys from the city? What's the need?"Sarina's brain was spinning fast. It seemed they had come to the right place. "So, you know her?""Of course. Let's talk inside! It's uncomfortable standing like this. Come on!" The woman turned around and invited them into her house, right next to where they were standing.Ardo looked at Sarina, about to engage her in conversation for fear that she was an imposter. But unfortunately, the girl had already taken her first step, following the house's owner casually. Ardo widened his eyes in panic and immediately chased after her.When he reached her, he grabbed Sarina's hand and whispered, "Why did you accept her invitation? What if we were tricked?""No way. No one deceives another person by inviting her to her own house," Sarina said with a glance at Ardo. "Besides, the houses in this area are close together. One shout and ever
"This isn't true, right? Hurry up and tell me! It's all a lie, right? That man who gave me a lot of money wasn't a criminal. He cared about Felix and said they were family, just like those people said. That guy seemed nice so he couldn't be lying." Lillian tried to deny the reality and kept urging David to agree with her. She even held his hand tightly, trying to find a grip as her body crumpled with fear and shock. "That's right. She can't be lying. It could be those people. Right?""Honey, stop denying reality. Everything is clear. They've even shown evidence that the man who came to interview you that day is a fraud. He's even more than that. A criminal. You know what that means, right?" David grabbed Lillian's shoulder and jerked her twice, hoping she would come to her senses and stop being in denial."But, isn't it sophisticated now? Photos or writings like that could just-""Lillian!" snapped David, who couldn't take it anymore. That made Lillian startled and fell silent, starin
"This? What's going on?" Ardo's steps spontaneously slowed when he saw many people in front of Felix's room. Police officers were questioning medical personnel. Meanwhile, security guards stood at several points. "Why are there so many people there?"Instantly, he came to his senses and rushed over. His gaze roamed over everyone there, looking for someone he knew so he could ask. Then his gaze fell on a girl sitting pensively on a waiting chair not far away. The girl kept her head down as if unperturbed by the number of people present, making him hurry over."Miss Chloe," Ardo called out.However, Chloe remained silent."Miss Chloe," Ardo called again.Unfortunately, Chloe seemed to be in another world and couldn't hear or see anything around her."Miss Chloe," Ardo called again, but this time, it was accompanied by a light tap on her shoulder, making the girl who had been pensive jump and look up."Brother Ardo!" Chloe exclaimed subconsciously.Ardo nodded slowly, looked at the busy
In an instant, the news of Felix's disappearance spread as quickly as a sudden downpour of rain in the day's heat. I don't know who spread it, but it was clear that everyone was very surprised. Especially the top brass of the company. When this news reached their ears, they immediately rushed to hold a meeting. Once again, the atmosphere that had been quite calm was now in an uproar.Some were genuinely worried about Felix's safety. Still, others were just pretending, and some questioned the project they would run even though clarity about the person in charge had already been agreed upon.Those who were not in favor of Clarita's presence in the company from the start, of course, immediately took advantage of this issue to push her back. Mr. Wesley did just that. He was full of emotion and provocation, continuing to throw out word after word that made others couldn't help but agree with him."What Mr. Wesley said makes perfect sense. Chairman Felix suddenly disappeared after Ms. Clari
"Dad!" cried Sarina loudly as she ran through her luxurious home, searching for someone who suddenly seemed hard to find. "Where's Dad?"Sarina's steps slowly stopped as she reached the sideyard. With her breath still rushing, she swept her gaze around but could not find her father. "Where the hell is he? I saw him reading the newspaper in the living room earlier, why did he suddenly disappear? Maybe he went to the office?""Father!" Then Sarina turned around and walked away with wide steps as her head turned right and left."Where's Father?" she asked when she saw one of the maids passing by, greeting her respectfully."It looks like Master is in his room, Miss," the maid replied.Upon hearing this, without saying anything else, the slender body rushed to her father's room, making the maid, who was still in place, look at her worriedly. "Miss, just walk slowly!"Unfortunately, Sarina was in too much of a hurry to listen to her warnings.As soon as she arrived, she opened the door. He
