Mina kept a smile on her face, but her eyes had become colder. “Mr. Justin, this is how many people seek pleasure and satisfaction. If you don’t like it, you can leave. But remember, Governor Indochine arranged this for you. He wants you to relax and enjoy.”Justin felt a surge of anger rising within him. He couldn’t believe that someone like Governor Indochine would support such a perverse form of entertainment. He looked at the young girls on the other side of the glass, feeling pity for them.“No, I can’t accept this,” Justin said, his voice full of determination. “I will not take part in this sick game.”---Mina stood on the other side of the table, her voice remaining calm and rational, but her eyes seemed evasive.“Normally, female guests would view the profiles of male guests first, and then, if they match, they would meet in a private room. You are the exception, Justin. You understand that this is a different rule applied only to you.”“Do you think I’m a fool? You’re degrad
On the way to the Vincom restaurant, Justin sat silently in the car, his gaze distant through the window. His heart couldn’t stop thinking about Julie, a strange, unnamed pain flickering through him. This was the first time he felt such a sense of despair upon seeing a stranger. The features of that girl kept appearing in his mind, yet he couldn’t remember who she was. Clearly, at some place, at some moment, perhaps long ago, they had been very important to each other.Justin shook his head, trying to push thoughts of Julie out of his mind. “Impossible,” he muttered to himself. “How could I have feelings for a girl young enough to be my daughter?”He knew that this feeling was misplaced and irrational. Julie was just a young girl, while he was a grown man with many responsibilities. Justin couldn’t let these sudden emotions influence his decisions.However, he soon realized that this was not a kind of love, but something more profound and sacred, like a blood bond. He felt a special c
Justin felt a surge of anger. The current situation of this forest is clearly on the brink of the abyss, no one is aware of it, yet this person deliberately targets its resources, truly regardless of everything! He tried to stay calm. "Mr. Governor, currently in Mozzafiato, trees and forests are increasingly scarce. If we destroy Meuolia's primeval forest, the possibility of storms and floods will be very high when there is no watershed forest to retain water. Climate will also change negatively. Furthermore, it is the habitat of many rare animals."He stopped for a moment, looking straight into the Governor's eyes. "Have you thought about these consequences?"Governor Indochine shrugged his shoulders, his expression impassive. "I don't care. What's important is economic development and generating profits. This resort will attract tourists and bring great revenue to both sides."Justin felt disappointed and indignant. Deforestation will cause unpredictable consequences, not only for t
Justin stood silently, watching Governor Indochine’s back disappear. His heart was filled with complex emotions. Although he firmly defended his position on preserving the Meuolia primeval forest, Governor Indochine was not an easy opponent to convince. He felt his determination and toughness and knew that this battle was far from over.Thoughts about the environment, responsibility, and Mozzafiato’s future swirled around in Justin’s head. Even though he did the right thing, the discomfort still couldn’t go away. Can you find a solution to reconcile economic interests while still protecting nature?On the way back to the mansion, Justin sat quietly in the car, his eyes looking out the window, his mind still immersed in thoughts about the recent meeting. Etham, his loyal assistant, sat next to him, sensing the tension from his master.“Etham,” Justin spoke, his voice quiet but strong. “Let’s get rid of Mina Dating Cafe. I don’t want that place to continue operating.”Etham nodded, unde
Justin looked straight into Verney's eyes, feeling heavy with a series of questions and unexplained nightmares. Verney, with the calmness typical of a psychiatrist, looked at him through his gold-rimmed glasses."Verney," Justin began, his voice filled with disbelief, "could it be that I've forgotten something important? These nightmares, these strange feelings... could they come from the past? past…? I can't remember anything, but these things have been following me for years… This is really painful, it's hard for me to try to live with the constant nightmares. like that.”Verney shook his head, his voice firm but gentle. "Justin, as far as I know and based on the test results, you do not have dementia. These nightmares and strange feelings could be due to stress and pressure from work. Mind you're reacting to the situations you're faced with."Justin sighed, knowing that Verney had a point, and besides, he was a doctor, so there was no reason to hide such an important matter from hi
The King’s words made Justin think deeply. He understood his father’s intentions, but felt a strong opposition within himself.“Yes, Father,” Justin replied, his tone respectful but filled with inner conflict. He didn’t want to turn Smart City into a part of the expansion plan, as it went against the values he believed in – cooperation and sustainable development.The King placed a hand on Justin’s shoulder, his gaze softening. “My son, over the years, you have never disappointed me. You have always brought significant benefits to Mozzafiato. But you have also reached the age where you should start a family.”Family? Justin was taken aback by those words. With the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, how could he possibly have a complete family? Moreover, he had no genuine interest in any woman at this stage of his life, as his career took precedence over everything. Yet, the pressure to start a family in the current context made him uneasy.The King observed Justin’s expression,
Justin stepped out of his father’s palace, the gentle afternoon sunlight soothing the heavy atmosphere in his heart. The King’s words still echoed in his mind; each of his father’s words carried expectations and love. But at the same time, they weighed on him like an invisible burden.He knew that his father only wanted the best for him, but the prospect of starting a family and the plans to take over Smart City made him feel more pressured than ever. Justin tried to take deep breaths, searching for some peace amidst his chaotic thoughts.When thinking about starting a family, Justin felt a very special feeling, something very difficult to describe. It was not just a responsibility but also a longing, a desire for a warm and happy family. But along with that was the fear that he could not meet his father’s expectations, the fear that he could not find true happiness in an arranged marriage.He had met many women at social events, but none had truly moved him. He wondered if Lady Nanam
Once at the airport, Justin waited for his luggage with the other bodyguards. He looked around, searching for Etham among the crowds of people. But then, he realized Etham was gone."Has anyone seen Etham?" Justin asked one of his bodyguards."No, sir," the bodyguard replied, his voice worried. "I don't see him anywhere."Justin felt a surge of anxiety. He couldn't let Etham disappear in this situation. Walking quickly through the crowd, Justin scanned everywhere. Then, in the distance, he saw a familiar figure—Etham. He was standing in a hidden corner, secretly talking to someone on the phone.Justin carefully moved closer, trying not to be seen. He wanted to hear Etham's conversation before appearing.When he was only a few feet away from Etham, he approached quickly and suddenly placed his hand on Etham's shoulder, startling him.Etham turned around, his face filled with shock and panic. "Sir Justin... I...," he stammered.Etham's face turned pale, and he stuttered as he quickly tu
