"So, what do you want from me?" Amanda cried, her face full of pain. Her lips trembled, and only a few stammered syllables escaped her mouth. Suwon responded with an even harder, crueler punch. Amanda's sobs grew louder, filling the empty hall, like a lamb about to be slaughtered. Each tear carried deep sorrow, but to Suwon, it was all just a game. "Then leave! Why are you humiliating me here?" Amanda sobbed uncontrollably. But Suwon only answered with a cynical smile. "Leave? If I go, who will judge you and punish you?" Suwon’s voice was cold, revealing his lust for domination. His words made Amanda feel even more ridiculous and sinful. "Judge? Punish? What right do you have to judge and punish me? Suwon, do you think you're some kind of bastard who deserves that?" Amanda shouted angrily, her voice hoarse. But Suwon wasn't moved. He sneered, without answering her questions. Now Amanda understood that for Suwon, power was everything. Domination was the way to win. In fron
Joseph and Katty were cuddling in bed, enjoying a quiet moment together. "Honey, what do you think is happening to us? We went through all the trouble to come to Koland, but there are so many things causing endless commotion," Katty said, lying on Joseph's chest and suddenly sighing. "This kind of issue is typical in Koland. Haven't you noticed it before?" Joseph asked, looking at his wife. "Never. Honey, have you known about these problems for a long time?" Katty asked, curious. "Yes," Joseph answered briefly while gently stroking Katty’s back. "Wow, my husband, you're amazing," Katty praised him before kissing Joseph lovingly. She lay back down on her beloved husband and enjoyed the warmth of his body. For Joseph, the current situation seemed tense, but in reality, it was the perfect opportunity to grow Light Entertainment and Company G. With clear rules, competition would be more open, and both companies would grow rapidly without hidden threats. This situation was al
"We have two other film options. The first is a sci-fi film called The Lost City, and the second is a modern film called Oh Lady," Jayna explained openly. Hearing this, Liza's eyes lit up. "Jayna, I don’t know much about the Oh Lady script. Did you bring it this time? I’m really interested in that film." "Of course, this film is one of the projects Light Entertainment must prepare," Jayna replied proudly. She quickly bent down, opened her bag, and pulled out the Oh Lady script, handing it to Liza. Liza and Mrs. Beatrice only needed a moment to flip through the script before feeling that Oh Lady was a perfect fit for Liza. Mrs. Beatrice then stood up, bowed to Jayna, and said politely, "Excuse me, Jayna, in my opinion, considering Liza’s condition, she might be more suited to play the lead in Oh Lady. Liza could really nail this role." Mrs. Beatrice’s apology was another form of respect and acknowledgment towards Light Entertainment, and Jayna felt it was more than enough.
"I’m going to produce a movie from your book-The Legend of the Sleeping Princess. What do you think?" Joseph got straight to the point. Lena Mo still couldn’t believe it and replied, "Joseph, stop joking around with me!" Knowing how to handle Lena, Joseph just laughed and reassured her that he was serious. After a little back and forth, Lena finally gave in. "Alright, just give me $30,000, and the rights are yours." Joseph was stunned by her offer. "$30,000? Are you serious? This is a big project, Lena. I can’t just take it for such a low price." Joseph knew that if this price got out, Light Entertainment’s reputation could be at risk, even if it meant a big gain for him financially. But beyond short-term profits, Joseph cared more about the long-term reputation of his company. He wanted Light Entertainment to be known as a classy, high-quality brand, which would benefit its image both locally and globally. "What do you mean? Do you think $30,000 is too low? Why do I feel
Light Entertainment moved quickly. After the intense information release, they immediately prepared for the opening ceremony of the filming of Oh Lady. Jayna had been closely supervising things at the Koland branch office and hadn’t had much rest lately. Lucky was, of course, also busy. He was primarily responsible for managing the connections and communications between Light Entertainment's headquarters in Leeds and the Koland branch. Time was tight, and everyone was extremely busy, but strangely, their efficiency actually improved. Jayna reported to Joseph and Katty about the careful planning for the opening ceremony and the entire Oh Lady shoot almost a day after the information release. The filming schedule for Oh Lady was planned to take just under half a year. After everything was set up one by one, Joseph and Katty began to relax. Initially, they had come to Koland just for a vacation, but because of a series of unexpected events, they got involved not only in disputes
Katty felt like there was a huge misunderstanding. She thought that Joseph and Lena were attracted to each other. After all, they had been in touch frequently, and Lena was stunning—easily as beautiful as Katty. There were plenty of reasons for a man to fall for someone like Lena. So, even though both Lena and Joseph tried to explain, the misunderstanding Katty had already formed was hard to shake off. Especially after reading through their past conversations, Katty had lost all trust in anything Joseph said. “Honey, why are you jumping to conclusions? Let’s talk this through slowly,” Joseph tried to calm his wife. “Honey, please, just calm down, stay calm,” Joseph added, still trying to ease the situation. Katty looked like a lioness protecting her territory. Her entire body seemed to be on fire, radiating anger, especially towards Joseph and Lena. “I’m very calm, very calm,” Katty said through gritted teeth, repeating herself as if she was afraid Joseph and Lena didn’t und
When Katty heard Lena complimenting Joseph, she no longer felt any resentment. Instead, she felt proud. Katty moved closer to Joseph, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Yeah, I also think Joseph is amazing. I’m so thankful I chose him over anyone else back then. If I hadn’t, I can’t imagine what my life would be like now." After those words, the tension between Katty and Lena eased. Katty then started sharing the story of how she and Joseph fell in love, making Lena laugh hysterically. Talking about the past, Katty found it really amusing in hindsight. She had never imagined that one day Joseph would turn out to be so charming. During the meal, all three of them behaved very politely. Even Lena, who was known for her lively personality, maintained proper manners. Although Katty didn’t know Lena as well as Joseph did, she could sense Lena’s natural charisma, making it easy for her to get along with people. However, Katty didn’t realize that only Joseph truly knew Lena’s real
Before the female secretary could run to open the office door, it suddenly flew open as Jordi kicked it in. "Mr. Huber, let him go!" Jordi shouted loudly. Jordi was once just one of the ignored sons in the Ajo Family, with no significant role in the family’s core matters. He was only accepted by the Ajo Family because of the Semi Group’s interests. Because of this, Jordi never expected any support or help from the Ajo Family. Recently, he realized he was caught in a complicated situation. With Koland in turmoil, there weren’t many places left that would still welcome him. Given his low status, he had no right to get involved in the middle or upper-class affairs of Koland. But the situation was changing fast, and nothing was certain. Jordi didn’t even fully understand what was happening in Koland recently. Even so, he still tried to evaluate the situation on his own. Thus, Jordi decided he needed to focus on his own business and stop relying on the Ajo Family or major entities
In the Hospital Corridor The hospital corridor felt eerily quiet, though the sound of medical staff's footsteps and the occasional beeping of machines broke the silence. Joseph sat on a long bench, gripping his phone tightly, his mind wandering far. Occasionally, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself. Mr. Barta patted his son-in-law’s shoulder. "Katty is a strong woman. Trust me, she’ll be fine." Before Joseph could respond, the cry of a baby suddenly echoed from the operating room. He immediately stood up, his face filled with happiness. The operating room door opened, and a doctor stepped out, removing their mask. "Mr. Joseph?" the doctor called. "Yes, Doctor?" "Congratulations, Mr. Joseph. Your son has been born." Those words made Joseph feel like a great weight had been lifted from him. He couldn’t contain his wide smile. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" Mr. Barta raised his hands in the air. "My grandson!" he cheered. Ten minutes later, Joseph w
Then.... The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air! Joseph stood motionless, calmly waiting amidst the chaos. Heavy footsteps reverberated across the room. Members of the G Alliance emerged from the front door, their rifles still warm from their shots. They had taken down all of Ramond’s soldiers with flawless precision, moving like machines devoid of mercy. The G Alliance members had long trained to shoot in complete darkness, even with their eyes closed. This level of skill now allowed them to dominate their enemies despite the pitch-black conditions. “Turn on the lights,” Joseph ordered curtly, his voice authoritative. Ultra-bright flashlights snapped on, instantly illuminating the room. The light revealed a gruesome scene: twenty of Ramond’s soldiers lay lifeless on the floor, their blood pooling beneath them. The stench of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the air, causing Ramond to cough as he scanned the horrifying aftermath with fear and rage. “You…” Ram
Jennifer stood frozen in place, her body trembling, her once graceful face now etched with frustration and despair. Slowly, her hand moved to the folds of her dress, drawing out a small pistol that gleamed under the dim light. All eyes locked onto her—Joseph remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice, while Ramond sneered with a smug grin, full of disdain and mockery. Zako, usually quick to act, now watching with a mix of anxiety and helplessness. Jennifer raised the pistol to her head, her hand shaking uncontrollably. "This is all my fault..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but no one moved to stop her. She lifted her head slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Joseph's. Yet, there was no response from her son—no empathy, no hesitation, just a chilling, unyielding silence. Jennifer’s gaze grew vacant. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and without warning, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence. Her body crumpled t
The dim light from the chandelier cast sharp shadows across Joseph’s cold face. His eyes scanned the room sharply, observing each person within it. Jacky tried to speak, but no sound escaped his lips. He was barely hanging on, his life slipping away. Joseph glanced briefly at Jacky before redirecting his focus to the three figures before him. Jennifer abruptly stood, clutching a nearly empty wine glass in her trembling hand. Her face was pale, and though she tried to mask her nerves, her shaking fingers betrayed her unease. Ramond, in contrast, lounged casually in his chair, legs crossed as if there were nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Zako appeared far more alert, his eyes darting between Joseph and the exit. “So,” Joseph’s deep, cold voice shattered the silence, “I come here and find myself... entertained by quite the show.” Jennifer quickly drank the rest of her wine, trying to steady herself. But as Joseph’s gaze locked onto hers, she froze. The woman, typically full
The room was dark and empty. Only the sound of Jacky’s footsteps echoed, filling the oppressive silence. His eyes scanned every corner, his pistol aimed forward, ready for any threat. But there was nothing—no Ramond, no Jennifer, no Zako. Only the cold air brushing against his skin like an invisible menace.Jacky growled, kicking over an old wooden chair that lay in the middle of the room. “Damn it! They escaped!” he yelled, his anger burning hot. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady the frustration boiling inside him. But before he could plan his next move, something unexpected happened.Out of nowhere, a coarse cloth wrapped tightly around his face. Someone yanked a bag over his head, cutting off his vision entirely.Jacky struggled, punching and thrashing, but his attacker was strong. Two firm hands restrained him with precision. Within seconds, he was forced into a chair, his body tied down with ropes that quickly bound his wrists and ankles.“Who are you?!” Jacky shouted, his
In the basement...The damp atmosphere clung to the space, making the air feel oppressively heavy.At the center of the room stood an old wooden table strewn with papers and maps. In one corner, Ramond sat on a worn-out chair, dressed in a faded shirt. Despite his simple appearance, his chilling aura remained unmistakable.The creaking of the wooden door broke the silence. Jennifer appeared, carrying two large bags filled with food supplies and water bottles. Her once-elegant dress now looked slightly disheveled, as if the long journey to this hidden place had drained her energy."Ramond," she said softly, lowering the bags onto the floor. "I brought food and necessities to last you a few days. I hope it’s enough."Ramond lifted his head, a faint smile forming on his lips—a smile that was both calming and enigmatic. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro
Ramond was a name well-known among the global elite, not only for his ruthlessness but also for his uncanny ability to manipulate. However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles. Jennifer even elevated him to the position of leader of the global elite, ensuring that all resources were at his disposal. Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo
Joseph stood abruptly and said nothing. He cast a cold glance at his mother before turning and walking away. His firm steps echoed as he exited the grand mansion, with Gawali silently following close behind. The tense atmosphere was palpable, yet not a word was spoken between them until both Joseph and Gawali were inside the sleek black car. Once the car door shut, Joseph leaned back, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face. Gawali, seated in the driver’s seat, finally broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Sir, should I contact Interpol immediately? If Ramond is truly involved in your grandfather’s death, we can make him an international fugitive.”“No need,” Joseph interrupted, his tone decisive. “I’ll find him myself. I’ll deal with him personally. No one else is allowed to interfere until I’m satisfied.”Gawali gave a slight nod, understanding it wasn’t the time to argue.Joseph added, “Contact Jacky.”“Tell him to prepare the team. I need them ready for my next orders
The grand mansion was silent, with only the sound of Joseph and Gawali's footsteps echoing against the marble floors.Joseph stepped into the vast living room, its high ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers.At the center of the room stood a golden sofa, strikingly prominent amidst the luxurious Persian carpet surrounding it.Joseph’s eyes immediately caught the figure of a woman standing near the large window. Jennifer, draped elegantly in white satin pajamas, stood poised as she gazed out. Her neatly combed hair reflected the faint light from the chandelier, and her face remained expressionless as usual.Joseph exhaled deeply, throwing himself onto the golden sofa with a casual yet calculated demeanor. He crossed one leg over his knee and stared at his mother with a mocking gaze.“So, my mom is still the same as ever,” he said sharply. “will awake when hear commotion.”Jennifer turned slowly, her expression betraying no reaction to his jab. With measured grace, she app
