Justin gazed at his father as though he were expecting the old man to repeat his question.
He looked from his father to his sister, then back to Diana, who was on the edge of tears.He swallowed hard and then responded to his father with shaky hands, “F-father, what do you mean? Who are you talking about?”“Justin, please stop acting like you have no idea what I am talking about. We are all aware that you visited your alleged wife in the hospital, who is currently carrying your child.” His father snapped, convincing him that he knew everything already.He looked at Ariana, who quickly averted her gaze away from him, making her appear suspicious.After some effort, Justin said, “Dad, yeah, Isabella is pregnant for me, but I cannot marry her because she is not my girlfriend anymore. I will never accept her back as my girlfriend because she ended our relationship. If you were in my situation, you would understand what I mean.”Just

The other CEOs bolted to the spot where the voice had come from, since they were already leaving the room.The guards were not allowed to enter the conference room, so none of them showed up. That's where the CEOs discuss the secrets of their businesses. So, it isn't something they should allow anyone to hear their discussions.After discovering the listening device, the CEO who found it rushed out of the restroom, terrified as though someone was after his life.They all walked up to him and said, “What is wrong, sir?”The man informed Justin's father, “Mr. Hemsworth, someone is spying on us.”“What are you trying to say? Please explain." Justin approached the bathroom with curiosity, peering through the door to see what had caused the man to scream.The man clarified, “There is a listening device in the bathroom, which means that someone is recording everything we discussed.”Upon hearing that, the other CEOs began to

“What? Are you kidding me? Is there not a backup electric supply available for the company?” Justin scolded them.“Yes, it does,” said Felix, the company's chief security officer.“So what happened—that the power supply suddenly cut off, and it took you ten minutes to fix it? I'm beginning to suspect that you joined hands to do this,” Justin yelled at them, causing them to quiver.They denied any knowledge of the secret listening device installed in the conference room.At last, Justin said, “Replay everything that happened since yesterday to this very moment. You must figure out who did this before I leave.”“As you commanded, boss,” they responded in unison.The CCTV operators carried out Justin's request. However, to watch everything, they fast-forwarded it to save time.Justin sighed after a few hours of watching everything that happened around the Transcorp Group of Conglomerate's headquarters because they could not

Upon arriving home, Justin said to his father,“ Dad, we have something crucial to discuss. Of course, you know I'm not a businessman. So I need to learn a lot from you about how to deal with these situations."“All right, that isn't a big deal, Justin. Settle down and allow me to elaborate to you everything you need to know about business. However, you shouldn't relent on what I have to tell you. You can also research to gain a more profound understanding of how to manage a business, okay?” Mr. Hemsworth responded. “Of course, Dad. That is precisely what I will do.” Justin reassured him as he sat with one leg crossed over the other, anticipating what his father would say.“Well, I think I will have to go take a shower before I return," Ariana said, motioning towards the staircase.“Sure, you're permitted to go, sis. You can as well go ahead and sleep if you wish to,” Justin responded as he smiled at her.Ariana turned around and smiled a

Justin averted his gaze away from the phone screen and to his father, hoping that his father didn't hear Diana's voice.After finding out that his father was on his phone, he said,“ Dad, I guess I need to rest. I am going to my room now to get some rest.”“All right,” Mr. Hemsworth muttered without lifting his head to look at his son because his phone had captured his attention.With speed, Justin disappeared from the living room and ascended upstairs to his room, eager to speak with Diana.“Forgive me, Diana. I could not call you because I was too busy. To be honest, it is not intentional. Sorry…” Justin apologized as he placed the phone on the bed and began unbuttoning his suit. “I should forgive you, you said? Shouldn't you have expressed concern after learning that the news I received about your ex-girlfriend yesterday had hurt me? I am not sure why I asked Ariana to text me your phone number. I promised I would never call you or com

Justin did what Ariana asked him to do by informing Xander to choose the guards he trusted so they could convey him to Diana's house, and Xander didn't hesitate to do that.Within minutes, they zoomed off from the mansion and headed to the address Ariana provided for him. They arrived at the address Ariana had given them. As he stepped out of the car, Xander summoned the attention of the mansion gatekeepers.Diana's father was also a successful businessman. He owns several businesses in Brightday City.“Hey, Xander,” one of the gatekeepers said to Xander, implying that they had met before.“Why did you park outside? Come on, you should have horns so that we can open the gate for you,” the young man who stood before Xander said.“Um… well, today, I didn't come with Ariana, Diana's best friend; rather, I'm here with Ariana's brother,” Xander explained because Diana's father's guards knew that Ariana and Diana were best friends, an

Lead the way and I will follow you,” Justin responded with a smile curving his lips.Although he was smiling, but he was still worried that Dawson was attempting to compete with him over Diana.Diana began to lead Justin into the mansion and he followed, leaving Mr. Mike behind.Upon stepping into the lounge, Justin's eyes fell on Diana's Mom who was relaxing on one of the couches.Diana approached her Mom and Justin followed her until she came to a halt, waiting for Diana to introduce him to her mother.“Mom,” Diana called out to her Mom and sat beside her. “ meet Justin, Ariana's elder brother.
