Jenny was stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard. "What?! You want me to be your maid? I'm your sister, Katty!" she exclaimed angrily, feeling unfairly treated. Katty remained calm, though guilt tugged at her heart. She knew her decision might hurt Jenny's feelings, but she saw no other way. This was her husband's command. "Jenny, this is the only option. If you don’t agree, you can’t stay with us," Katty said firmly. Even though Jenny had been sneaking into the Joseph family’s life to monitor Joseph’s activities, now Katty was asking her to be a maid. How could Jenny accept this? "Katty, your family is wealthy now. Can't you try to understand me?" Jenny pleaded, her voice filled with sorrow. "You have money to hire other maids. Why must it be me?" Katty sighed. "I'll ask Joseph," she replied before dialing her husband’s number. The call connected after a few seconds. "Give the phone to Jenny," Joseph’s voice commanded. Katty handed the phone to Jenny wit
"Honey, you're home! The food will be ready soon," Katty greeted Joseph warmly, her face lighting up with happiness. "Katty, why are you the one cooking? Where’s Jenny? Doesn't she live here? She should be the one cooking, right?" Joseph's expression instantly shifted to dissatisfaction as he took in the situation. Hearing this, Jenny hurriedly lay back down on the bed. "If I can take a short rest, why not? Being a maid isn’t an easy job," she thought to herself. "She was beaten by Lucky today, so I asked her to rest," Katty explained gently. "Don’t worry. It’s just cooking; it’s no big deal." Katty’s soft tone instantly calmed Joseph’s anger. "Ricky, here are the documents. Please place them in my workroom," Joseph instructed, handing Ricky a bag. "Remember, guard them carefully. They are extremely important." Hearing their conversation, Jenny sat up, her curiosity piqued. She had a hidden agenda for infiltrating Joseph's household, aiming to acquire certain documents. No
That night, the air felt heavy, as if predicting the arrival of a great storm. Joseph was enjoying a cup of coffee in his workroom when his phone vibrated. Gawali’s name appeared on the screen, and a sense of foreboding immediately crept into his mind. Joseph answered the call with a cold expression, ready for news worse than he had expected. "Young Master Joseph... Our lab has been destroyed," Gawali's voice was filled with regret. Joseph straightened up. "What? Destroyed? Explain to me." "Foreign forces attacked. We found our air control system testing equipment completely wrecked. The lab is a mess—there's nothing left." Joseph gripped the phone tighter. "What about the CCTV?" "Disabled. We have no footage of who did it," Gawali said, his voice weak, nearly despairing. "I’m sorry, Young Master… I failed to protect it." A moment of silence lingered between them. Joseph didn’t respond right away. He took a deep breath, trying to contain the fury burning within him. His
In Joseph's quiet workroom, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Jenny struggled, her tears streaming down her face, and her voice broke in panic. "Joseph, please... I’m sorry! I didn’t mean—" Jenny tried hard to speak through her sobs, but Joseph remained unmoved. Joseph's face stayed cold, like a stone statue. His gaze was sharp, full of restrained anger. He looked at Jenny as if she no longer mattered to him. "I don't need your apology," Joseph said in a low but threatening tone. "What I want now is an answer... why did you do it?" Jenny shook her head desperately, her body trembling with fear. "They threatened me... I had no choice..." "Choice?" Joseph stepped closer, intimidating. "You had a choice, but you chose to betray me." Jenny's sobs grew louder. She fell to her knees on the floor, begging. "Please, Joseph... I'll do anything! I promise, I’ll make it right!" At that moment, footsteps approached. Katty appeared at the doorway, her eyebrows furrowed as she s
30 Minutes Later, Joseph’s Phone Rang. Gawali’s name appeared on the screen. Joseph promptly answered the call. “Young Master Joseph, I’ve found him,” Gawali’s voice was calm but firm, indicating he carried important information. Joseph straightened in his seat. “Good. Tell me.” Gawali exhaled briefly before continuing. “Magno Gon is one of the sons of the Gon family, one of the most influential business dynasties in Japant. Their primary businesses are in technology, nuclear energy, and automotive sectors. One of their flagship companies is Gon Gold Japant.” Joseph’s brow furrowed, his heartbeat quickening. He knew that company’s reputation extended beyond legitimate industry, often touching the gray zones of illegal business operations. “And Magno? What’s his role in the family?” Joseph asked, his tone turning more serious. “This is where it gets interesting,” Gawali replied, piecing together the puzzle. “Magno is the youngest son... and a troubled one. Unlike his two
Danny knelt before Joseph, his hands trembling, and tears streamed down his cheeks. His thin body shivered, reflecting an indescribable fear. “I... I beg you...” Danny's voice was hoarse and shaky. “I’ll do anything... anything you ask, just don’t kill me.” He looked at Joseph with pleading eyes. “I swear I’ll serve you for life. I promise I’ll stay loyal to you.” Joseph stared at the man without emotion, his gaze sharp and cold, like a knife ready to strike. “Loyal?” Joseph asked in a low, chilling tone. “Loyal means nothing if you can’t tell me where Magno is.” Danny nodded rapidly, his breath hitching. “I can! I can! I’ll make sure he’s still in Japant.” Joseph gave a faint, intimidating grin. “Good. But you need to prove it without letting him know you’re under my control.” Joseph glanced at Jacky and instructed, “Help him get his phone.” Jacky reached into Danny’s pocket, pulled out the phone, searched for Magno's contact, and held the phone to Danny’s ear. “Speak
Magno sat back in his chair, exhaling smoke casually, as if nothing was wrong. "Yeah. Welcome to Japant, Joseph," he said with an arrogant smile. "It seems you worked very hard tonight just to find me." Joseph, still standing in front of him, stared at Magno with a cold, meaningful smile. Then, calmly, he pulled out a chair and sat directly across from him. Their gazes locked. Lighting a cigarette, Joseph spoke in a low tone, "You surely know why I worked so hard to find you tonight." Magno chuckled, his mocking tone evident. "Of course, I know. But you've ruined my party. HAHA." He took a deep drag from his cigarette, then continued with a satisfied laugh. "Do you know how exhausting it was to destroy your lab? I wanted to celebrate with a little fun, but now you've come to spoil it." Joseph gave a cynical smile, his lips curling, but his cold eyes showed no mercy. "Wasn't your exhaustion worth it for what you got?" he said. "The secret formula for creating the climate contro
One Hour Later, at the Gon Family Residence, Japant. A light drizzle pattered on the roof of the Gon family’s house, adding a gloomy touch to the night. The large teakwood door swung open with a loud bang, and Magno stormed in, his footsteps urgent and heavy. His face was flushed red, brows furrowed sharply, and his gleaming eyes radiated anger that seemed to suffocate him. “DADDY!” he shouted, his voice booming and echoing through the spacious hall. At the far end of the corridor, an elderly man with a cold, authoritative expression appeared. It was Mr. Gon, head of the Gon family, one of the most respected families in Japant. Dressed in a thick robe and exuding arrogance, he approached slowly, his piercing gaze seeming to strip anyone bare who dared defy him. “What is it, Magno? You’ve arrived like a storm,” Mr. Gon said emotionlessly, though his voice carried an intimidating weight. Panting, Magno hurried toward his father. “My lab in Leeds was destroyed, Daddy! All the
