"I have never given Zigga Company's game framework to an outside party, for any reason. Even if I'm asked a thousand times, my answer will never change. I may not be the best employee, but I will never betray Zigga Company!" That was the answer Ginna continued to give while being questioned by investigators. Even after the questions were twisted and made confusing, the answers given by the girl remained the same. Ginna still said that she had never committed the alleged act. Even the evidence of sending game skeletons through her computer ID did not deter her. "Sent using the computer I usually use at work, it doesn't mean I'm the culprit. Anyone can do that. I use the computer during the day, but in the afternoon and at night, we don't know who uses it? If it was really me, I wouldn't have used the office computer. I would have tried to lose track," Ginna said again in his defense.Ginna was questioned for almost a whole day, but her confession remained unchanged. The girl insisted
Jonathan sent a new piece of evidence to Bill, along with Bill who also received suspicious CCTV footage. The evidence provided by Jonathan himself was a photo of a woman who was a Zigga Company employee who was meeting secretly with one of the Mirror Company's officials."Do you recognize this woman?" Jonathan asked Bill. The picture was enlarged several times and the face of a woman Bill recognized was clearly visible. It was Marisa, one of Bill's coworkers at Zigga Company who had once insisted on being Bill's girlfriend. "I recognize her. She's an old employee who's been with Zigga Company since before it was successful. But her position is below Ginna's," Bill said."She was caught on camera several times hanging around the Zigga Company office building at night. And there was one moment where he climbed over the fence and entered the building illegally. There's no way he would have done that if he didn't have a purpose. And usually, the purpose of people who sneak around at nig
Ginna is finally released, along with Marisa being arrested. Joana herself picked Ginna up at the police station, remembering that her family had come to pick her up. All of the girl's family lived in the village, which was quite a distance from the town of Arden. Ginna's face looked very haggard and tired. However, she also looked relieved. Lately, Ginna had been worried about her parents in the village. Ginna was afraid that her parents would be shocked to hear the news that she was accused of committing a crime. Thankfully, the original perpetrator has now been found and arrested by the police."Are you alright, Ginna?" asked Joana as she focused on her thoughts."Yes, I'm fine," Ginna replied. After getting into Joana's car, this was the first time Ginna let out her voice.Hearing Ginna's flat tone, Joana turned her head briefly. A feeling of guilt crept into Joana's heart for not being able to get Ginna out sooner. In fact, if Bill hadn't helped, Ginna might still be in prison t
"Ah, Bill?" Joana stammered a little at Bill's arrival.Bill frowned slightly at the unusual look on Joana's face."You took Ginna home earlier, right?" Bill asked."Yes. She's already inside," Joana replied, glancing at the door to Joana's apartment."Then why are you standing here?" Bill asked."I was going to buy lunch while I was back at the office, but I remembered that Ginna must not have eaten yet, so I came back. But the few times I rang the bell, Ginna didn't open the door. Maybe it was because she said she wanted to take a shower first," Joana said again.Bill was silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "Then we'll wait for her to finish bathing. Let's go to my apartment first. I have something to talk to you about." Bill took Joana from there.Joana nodded in agreement. The two of them then went to Bill's apartment unit which was only two apartment units away from Ginna's apartment unit. Joana, Bill and Ginna lived on the same floor, while Lee and Ronie lived o
After chatting for a while, Joana took Bill back to Ginna's apartment. It just so happened that the food Bill had ordered had also arrived and the courier had delivered it there."I didn't order any of this." Ginna, who received all the food, looked a little confused."The address is correct, Miss. It's all hard to pay for. You just have to accept it," said the courier who delivered the food."But I can't accept it. I'm afraid you have the wrong person." Ginna still insisted on refusing."Even if you refuse, I still have to leave everything here." The food courier also insisted."Hey, no way! That food has to reach its owner. Don't leave it here!" Ginna argued."It's okay, Ginna. I ordered all that food. I asked for it to be delivered to your apartment." Bill, who had just appeared with Joana, interrupted.Of course Ginna immediately turned to Bill. The girl's face immediately looked different."Sorry to startle you. But Bill deliberately ordered food for us to have lunch together." T
After lunch, Ginna was again surprised by Joana's actions who took the initiative to clean up the kitchen. Ginna was about to prevent her boss, but Bill helped Joana do it, leaving Ginna with a resigned expression."You look burdened. Aren't you glad we're eating together?" Joana asked Ginna after she and Bill had finished cleaning up. "What exactly are you two doing right now?" Ginna asked back with a serious expression on her face.Joana looked back at Bill for a moment, then sighed. She also had no idea what exactly she was doing in Ginna's apartment right now. Joana felt guilty for Ginna, but didn't know how to express her guilt."If you're afraid I'm in a bad mental state, don't worry, I'm fine," Ginna said again."Sit down with us first, Ginna. We have something to talk to you about," Bill said."What do you want to talk about? I don't think there's anything else to talk about. Zigga Company's position is now secure, right?" Ginna asked again. It sounded like she wanted to end
Joana had explained in detail what Bill had done for Zigga Company, as well as for Ginna's acquittal from the charge of selling game skeletons to foreigners. Bill had done everything possible and Joana knew it. However, it seemed that Ginna still couldn't get rid of her feelings of disappointment and discomfort towards Bill. It seemed like it would take some time to get things back on track, including the friendship between Bill and Ginna."Sorry, Bill, I still can't convince Ginna. You must have felt very uncomfortable with her behavior earlier," Joana told Bill when they returned to the office."No problem. Ginna must have experienced a lot of unpleasant things during her time in the holding cell. Plus, her father had a heart attack. That must have shaken her up. After all, I was the one who put her in jail. It's only natural for her to feel angry or disappointed with me, regardless of my reasons for doing so," Bill said.Joana nodded. She was relieved that Bill understood Ginna's c
Bill, who had just returned from the office, put his briefcase down and lay down on the bed. After all this time with Zigga Company, this was the first time Bill felt his body and mind were exhausted. He needed a break. Not only his body, but his mind also needed to be rested.The ringing of Bill's cell phone stopped him from closing his eyes. He immediately grabbed the object and checked it. Apparently it was Ryan who was currently contacting Bill.A sigh came from Bill's mouth. Being very tired like this, how could the grandfather contact him. Bill would have been too lazy to answer the phone call if he didn't remember that he still needed help from the Rainer family. Bill finally swiped the receipt on his phone screen."Hello, Grandpa. How are you?" Bill greeted pleasantly."If you really want to know how I'm doing, then you should have contacted me earlier since yesterday," Ryan said on the other side.Bill couldn't help but let out a somewhat stifled sigh. It was his fault for n
Everyone went back to their busy lives. Bill spends most of his days on the company. He no longer controlled it, but it was the kind of responsibility Bill had taken on when Ryan was alive. Under Jonathan's leadership, RN Group survived the threat of trouble that had been brewing for some time. About the betrayal of three big families, as well as the abandonment of a very influential person, Ryan Rainer. It's possible that these issues triggered a rift in the connections between shareholders. There was also the small matter of investors' lack of confidence in Jonathan because Ryan himself had never directly mentioned the change of power.No problem, Jonathan thought at the time. He faced it all with the perspective that these problems were challenges that would one day make his position stronger and more recognized. And he did get that. Not only that, Jonathan has made a huge contribution to RN Group. The company has flourished and managed to rise above the threat of yesterday's tro
Before Joana could say a single word, Bill rushed over and hugged her tightly. Joana could only freeze with a suddenly blank mind. Bill hugged Joana for a long time as if he was unaware of what was happening around him. The people in the hall seemed quite surprised by the romantic situation. "Oh my God, why are they that cute?" Ronie, who was originally about to approach Bill, suddenly retreated again and now tears of emotion came out at the end of her eyes. It wasn't just Ronie, Lee and Ginna looked emotional seeing the couple. While the other employees were still dumbfounded by Bill's sudden arrival and the romantic moment without warning."Are you okay?" asked Joana while tightening the hug because Bill gave no sign of letting go. The question wasn't just an idle one, of course. Joana had been following the news about Rainer's family, the RN Group and everything. Joana wondered what if she was still in contact with Bill at that time and might be a hindrance or trouble to Bill.
The funeral went smoothly. Compared to most funerals where there is a lot of crying, the Rainer family's home was quieter and quieter. This did not mean that there was no sadness and loss, but rather that their gazes showed a stifling emptiness. Diana cried all night after hearing Jeremy's confession. Ryan wasn't that bad and he loved his family very much, it's just that the way Ryan did it wasn't justifiable. Diana felt lost and regretful, though she wasn't sure what she regretted. If only her grandfather could have spoken frankly to her or the others, maybe Diana wouldn't have had time to hate Ryan.However, all of this was Ryan's choice for the good of the Rainer family. Diana, as well as the others, could only accept this fact."I didn't expect you to go this far." Julie let out a long breath. She had heard a lot about what had happened. Between shock and deep sorrow. Heading to the cemetery, Julie and Diana walked hand in hand dressed in all black. Bill and Jonathan were in fro
Bill felt that he was only dreaming. He had just arrived with the antidote he had managed to get from the Salomon family. He drove as fast as he could, running red lights, speeding down the highway as fast as he could. The only thing Bill feared was his late arrival, and that was exactly what happened. Bill was late.Bill's body refused to show how he was feeling at the moment. Even Bill didn't know what to do, what reaction he should give to this astonishing news. The doctor was still busy checking Ryan's condition, as if they were trying to confirm the condition and try to restore the old man's consciousness. Nevertheless, the screen showing Ryan's vital organ activity had stopped, giving rise to a deafening buzzing sound.Bill and the others were outside the room, watching from the window with a mixed feeling. Minutes passed and nothing had changed in Ryan's condition. The doctor stopped his efforts. That's when the family members entered. Bill went first, while Diana followed and
The indebtedness that entangled the Rainer family business in the past was the beginning of the three extended families' relationship with the Rainer family, especially the Salomons. During that difficult time, the Rainer family asked the Salomons for help to protect their business from interference from others."How ignorant!" cursed the head of the Salomon family, who was currently behind bars. The man and his two colleagues looked frustrated. Various parties including their lawyers have been contacted, but no one knows what will happen to them. "The Rainer family should have had the courage to do this to us!" Marson growled with pent-up emotion. "It's all because of that damn kid!" Family patriarch Edmund cursed Bill repeatedly. "We should have just shot him in the head and even if we ended up in jail, at least one of them would have died! We're in jail anyway."The head of the Salomon family exhaled harshly. Although in reality it was the Salomons who had taken advantage of thei
"What the hell?" shouted the head of the Edmund family. He looked hysterical as armed troops came from the opposing side. They all wore protective vests and police insignia that were familiar to his eyes."Are we being set up?" The head of the Marson family stared in disbelief as his hands were handcuffed. "Asshole! Let go! Hey, what are you guys doing?" Meanwhile, Family Head Salomon was still trying to escape. The look in his eyes was full of wrath. He was trying to escape the clutches of the special forces. "No! Let go!" He even pointed the gun that was originally embedded in his coat. However, it was clear that the special forces could easily incapacitate him. The heads of households of three families had been secured. However, this chaotic situation was still hard for them to believe. The troops that arrived were so numerous, they were no match for the number of the three families' men. The joint police team consisted of dozens of snipers and skilled fighters who raided the pl
Bill felt a pain in his chest as a kick went off. His head was still wrapped in the black bag, making it difficult for him to breathe. Another blow hit him in the face. There was definitely a bruise on Bill's face. Jonathan felt the same way. His body was still lying on the cement floor with dust now dirtying his black suit. He was stepped on, kicked repeatedly and mercilessly. Until he felt a shod foot slam into the side of his face, knocking him back to the floor. Bill tried to stay conscious because Diana was among them. He had no idea that Diana would be included in this mission. "Bastard!" Bill cursed, but no one heard him. He was worried that his sister was an easy target for these rotten criminals. "Diana!" shouted Bill who, despite trying to make his voice as loud as possible, could only make incoherent mumbles, like a delirious sleeper. Diana was half-awake. She received a hard slap as she was sat on a wooden chair with her hands tied. As soon as the black bag covering h
In the end, Bill, Jonathan and Diana had come up with a plan that would be used to counter the evil plans of the three big families. After that, Bill went back to work as usual as if nothing had happened. So did Jonathan and Diana. They moved in their respective places without showing any attention at all to the three big families, there was only Bill who occasionally met with his enemy in the meeting room or simply crossed paths with one of them.Occasionally Bill would also engage in conversation with them, and as of now Bill was dealing with two people, one from the Salomon family and the other the Marson family. "Look, it looks like you're getting comfortable in this place." The Marson family member quipped with a dismissive smile. "Did your actions yesterday already make you feel like a hero?" This time it was the Salomon family members who spoke.The auditing people were still conducting checks, but it was clear that the three big families were currently becoming a byword as t
Jonathan frowned, still not understanding Ryan's sudden behavior. He knew the meaning of the object now in his hand. "Dad, what's going on? Why did you give me our family seal?" Jonathan asked with a frown. "Because now you are the owner." Ryan said. "What does that mean?" Jonathan still didn't understand. If power had been transferred, it must not have been for something trivial. Ryan had never talked about this before either. What was going through Ryan's mind was completely out of Jonathan's reach. "My condition does not allow me to continue to be in the company and take care of this family." Ryan held back the pain that throbbed in his chest. "All the problems in the company I can't handle anymore, and neither can this family." "I know you're sick, but haven't you been able to handle it all this time? There's Jeremy who always helps you, right?" Jonathan still demanded further explanation. "Is my old age not enough of an excuse for you?" he asked with a flat look in his eyes.
