"I don't blame you, so you don't need to apologize," Felix said.Hearing that, Ardo was a little surprised, but then he shook his head firmly. "No, it can't be like that. You should be angry. I've gone too far. You had good intentions, but I got angry and thought badly of you. Felix, let's get mad at me! You got drunk because of me. Now I'm in front of you, so you just say what you want to say."At the sight of him seriously saying this, Felix suddenly felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Among all the people he had met, none of them had asked to be scolded. However, Ardo... Felix shook his head softly, feeling helpless."I know how you felt back then. I really don't blame you," Felix said no less seriously. "And as for getting drunk last night, it had nothing to do with you. It was purely because I wanted to drink.""Really? You're not lying, are you?" Ardo looked doubtful.Felix gave a small nod. "There's no point in me lying either.""So, Ardo, you don't have to blame
Felix left the hospital with wide strides. He got into his car and drove off not long after.Haris and Diana's words kept replaying in his mind—especially Diana's words about the second man, the one who told them to leave Ardo.Of everything they said, Felix remembered the part where the man accidentally dropped a piece of old newspaper. Diana said the man was probably in too much of a hurry to be careless.But Felix didn't think so. He felt that the man had deliberately dropped the object so that Haris and Diana would keep it and turn it into evidence.As a confidant who was told to get rid of someone from the family, how could the man be so careless? Moreover, Diana said the piece of newspaper was news about an accident that happened to Ardo. He should have been very careful because even the slightest mistake could make his task fail.Of course, this was just his thinking. As for the real story, it would be revealed if he found the man."EasySync, are you still unable to find the da
Felix waited quietly in the car. After a while, he remembered the newspaper he had taken from Haris and Diana's house. So he took it out and looked at it carefully.The piece of newspaper was neatly folded. And perhaps because of time, the folds had become more neat and worn.When he saw the headline and read the few lines, Felix didn't think there was anything strange. It's just a typical accident report. However, as he flipped the piece of newspaper over, he suddenly felt a sense of Deja Vu."Looks like I've seen it before," Felix muttered as he looked at the page intently.It was only when his gaze fell on the corner, where there was a white car damaged in an accident, that he remembered it. His body immediately straightened up with widened eyes. "Isn't this the same newspaper I found on the land title?"Thought after thought started coming into his brain, making him pause for a long time with a thoughtful expression."If it's true that I have it, then the news about Ardo's acciden
Secretary Jorell raised his gaze and asked, "Didn't you see the news? Mr. Zay brought up the case of his missing son again. Now that the public was paying attention to it again, many people wanted to help. Although this blow was harder than before, Mr. Zay himself said that hope was returning. And he feels that after this, he will meet his son."Speaking up to this point, Secretary Jorell sighed softly and cast his gaze at the flower garden visible through the window. "I don't know if this is a good thing, but I hope Mr. Zay finds his happiness soon."Felix was even more stunned by this. He really didn't know anything about the news regarding the appointment of Mr. Zay's eldest son's disappearance. He really missed out on a lot of things. Apparently, after this, he would have to start watching the news, reading newspapers, and playing social media more often."Felix, I'm saying all this because I know how much you mean to Mr. Zay." Secretary Jorell looked back at Felix and said more s
With hesitant movements, Felix began to open the cover of the diary. On the first page, nothing was written. Felix's thick eyebrows twitched slightly, and he continued to open sheet after sheet until he finally stopped in the middle of the page.Just reading the title, Felix's body began to freeze. His throat became choked with burning eyes.As it continued, Felix's eyes began to tremble softly. He swallowed hard as he finished reading all the words on the page.Feeling that it was still too early, he continued to the next page. This time, Felix could not stand it. He raised his head, staring at the ceiling of his room with trembling eyes as he chewed on his lower lip."So I'm not really their son?" As he lowered his head, tears fell from his eyes. "And they didn't leave me on purpose, but... it was time to go."Felix's body slumped. He crouched down, put his head in his hands, and leaned back with his eyes closed. At that moment, his tears fell.For a while, Felix just stayed in that
"Is it important for me to answer when you are already inside my house?" Jovian's eyes narrowed sharply. From all his gestures and tone, it was clear that he was well-trained and had a lot of experience in similar matters.However, facing him like this, Felix did not flinch at all. Instead, he gave him a sharp look and said, "It's not important. Because even without you answering it, I already know everything.""What do you know?" Jovan replied even more fiercely."What do you think?" Felix smiled wryly.Jovan's face looked stiff with sharply drawn eyebrows.Before the other party could speak, Felix first placed the piece of newspaper he had in his possession into the center of the table. Jovan's attention was immediately drawn to it, and his face instantly changed. It did not escape Felix's piercing gaze. His crooked smile grew wider; it was fun to see the opponent's expression change in such a short time."I know, you're very clever and without me explaining more, you'll already und
"Felix." Secretary Jorell handed a white envelope to Felix, who was sitting in front of him.They were currently at a cafe close to Mr. Zay's house.Felix looked at the white envelope intently and felt nervous. His breathing was heavy as his hand reached out to take it."I've read the results. Now it's your turn," Secretary Jorell said.Instead of opening it immediately, Felix remained silent, with his gaze not turning away. He wasn't ready, of course. Whatever the result, it was equally hard. After all, he never thought that today would be like this. Especially when it was with Mr. Zay, the head of the company he respected, it felt... strange.Seeing Felix's silence, who had no sign of opening the envelope in his hand, Secretary Jorell spoke up again. "Felix, you have to deal with it. This is a good thing for your life. The sooner you know the result, the better. Open up!"Felix raised his gaze and looked at Secretary Jorell, who nodded slowly. He seemed to have guessed the outcome w
"Brother?" Clarita was the first to react after the shock wore off. Her eyes narrowed in alarm. "Father, do you really mean it? Are you sure? We don't want to be deceived again by someone like Bay."Chloe, who had been annoyed at Clarita, nodded in agreement. "That's right. This is something very serious. I know how you feel and miss your brother, but we must also keep a clear head. Dad, we can't let the same thing happen again.""Dad, where did you get the information?" The usually mischievous Austin suddenly became an adult and asked something neither of his siblings had considered.Suddenly, Mr. Zay's gaze fell on the young man. "Secretary Jorell contacted Father."Austin gave a small nod. "If that's the case, then it's most likely true."The corners of Mr. Zay's lips twitched. His eyes became misty. When did this brat of his become an adult?Usually, whenever there was a serious conversation, no matter what the topic was, Austin never listened and was only busy with his world. His
