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.

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.

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,

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.

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
After a long day filled with tension and suspicion, Justin returned to his hotel room. He let himself fall onto the bed, feeling the comfort of the high-end mattress, but it couldn’t ease the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He closed his eyes, trying to find some peace in sleep.Justin slowly drifted into slumber, but soon found himself trapped in a nightmare. Blurry, mixed-up images appeared, and he saw himself lost in a dark and cold place. Strange noises echoed all around, making him feel uneasy and panicked.In the dream, someone was trying to call out to him. The surroundings were unclear, but the voices were distinct and urgent. Both male and female voices intermingled, continuously calling his name and saying they were still waiting for him."Justin... we are still waiting for you...""Justin... don’t abandon us..."Among those calls, a female voice suddenly rang out, filled with emotion and familiarity."Dad...!"At that moment, Justin jolted awake. Sweat poured down his face, a
Justin walked aimlessly for a while, lost in thought, until he found himself in the city's cemetery. The air was cool and fresh, carrying the smell of wet grass and freshly tilled soil. The cemetery is large and quiet, illuminated by the soft moonlight filtering through the trees. Rows of tombstones stretch in all directions, their shadows creating a peaceful and somber scene.The cemetery is peaceful, no distractions, no noise, so beautiful that it's haunting.

He felt a profound sense of peace wash over him, in stark contrast to the chaos tormenting his mind. The outside world seems distant and irrelevant here. All that matters are the

He felt a sense of purity and gentle beauty emanating from the flowers, like a symbol of hope and renewal, perfect for remembering those who had passed."I'll buy a bouquet of irises,"
