    ***The following morning,Nathan was sitting on one of the couches in his living room. Now that he knows that there is something fishy going on with the Smith family, he started thinking of ways he could get into the Smith family house and get into the old man’s office without anyone knowing about it.

Suddenly, the shrill ring of his phone pierced through the silence, jolting him from his concentration.Thomas reached for the sleek black device, his fingers hovering over the answer button before decisively pressing it to his ear.

"Good. Tell me everything. I hope y’all didn’t beat him to where he would die, right?"The thug proceeded to describe the ruthless encounter they had orchestrated against Nathan, detailing the calculated violence that was inflicted upon him.

I need to find out who did this to me."Gwen sighed, her worry evident. "Nathan, justice can wait. Your health comes first. Tell me everything you remember about the attackers. We'll find them, but not at the cost of your well-being."Nathan nodded, pain flashing across his eyes as he recounted the details of the brutal attack. He described the masks, the voices, and the ruthless efficiency with which they had carried out their assault. As he spoke, Gwen listened intently, her mind already calculating the next steps to take."And then," Nathan hesitated, reaching into his pocket to retrieve a crumpled piece of white paper, "one of them dropped this. It has a message and a name written on it."Gwen took the paper, smoothing it out to read the message and name scrawled in bold letters. "Courtesy o

    Nathan’s parents did leave their wealth behind, but Nathan left it and faked his own death, leaving it for the nine heirs of the Amber family to control. Only a few people in the AI Carson know that Nathan is alive, and those are his subordinates. Nathan did not care for the wealth, as all he needed was revenge for his parents' deaths.“No, the truth is, their wealth wasn’t totally theirs; it belongs to all the Amber siblings, so when they died, I only got a small portion of the wealth, which I invested some into stocks and others in my ex-wife's company." Nathan hoped that old man Smith would stop asking him questions after this.“That’s good to hear; it’s my honor to have you work for me." Old man Smith was happy to have Nathan working for him. He would have never thought in a million years that the son of the Amber family would be working for him.“I just wanted to have this discussion with you and know if you were related to the Ambers that I know now that it is cleared. I want to

    With a steady hand, Gwen gestured towards the array of photos, her voice calm yet determined. "I need you to identify them, Nathan. We need to find out who Thomas is, who could be behind the attack."Nathan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the images as he searched for a familiar face. Each photograph held its own story, its own secrets waiting to be revealed.And then, amidst the sea of faces, Nathan's eyes alighted upon a figure he knew all too well—Thomas Downs. The memory of his encounter with him flooded back into his mind. He remembered how he beat him up during the taxi accident he was in. But Nathan had no idea that his name was Thomas."I know him."

It was an unfamiliar number, but something about it felt weird. With a sense of foreboding, she answered."Hello?" Gwen's voice was tentative; she had no idea who the caller was or what she was to expect."Gwen, it's Martha from the mansion staff," a somber voice replied on the other end. "I'm afraid I have some terrible news. One of our maids, Maria, she... she was found suffocated on the street this morning."Gwen's heart skipped a beat. Suffocated? On the street? The words echoed in her mind, refusing to make sense. Maria, a kind and diligent member of their household staff, was now gone, leaving behind a void that seemed impossible to fill. Because she has worked in their mansion for mo
