His eyes were sullen, and baggy due to inadequate sleep he have been suffering from for the past few days.His heart skipped a beat each time Hong Fei image appeared in his vision, or attorney Gavin's words resounded in his ear.***“Nathan, please forgive my brother." Hong Fei pleaded in a teary voice, her eyes welling with tears.She had been on her knees for the past few days begging him to please let go of his half brother, but Nathan would not listened.“He's your brother.

Chapter 126Nathan stood at an extreme watching as Hong Fei was lashing out words at Rue, who stood remorsefully.Nathan's eyes widened when he saw Rue going on his knees. He quickly used his hearing skills to listen to his speech.“Hong Fei! I know I've wrong you that I'm not supposed to ask for your forgiveness. But, I'll only ask you of one thing.“ Rue paused, as tears streamed down his eyes.“I know my sins are to graver to be forgiven, but I' only beeseech that you find a place in your heart to forgive my Aunt, and ensure that her medication fees is being paid regularly.“He pleaded, but Hong Fei didn't utter a word as she walked off to enter the limited maybach that was parked at the extreme of the Court premises.Rue stopped at his pace to look disdainfully at Nathan who seems unperturbed at his existence.

Chapter 127Hong Fei busted into tears, the sounds from her sob filling the air. Nathan had to flunk his hands around her arms, to console her.“It's okay!" Nathan whispered crossly beside her ears.Hong Fei turned to face Nathan, and sniffled in her tears, before parting her lips. “ Rue betrayed me. He hurts my feelings!" She cried bitterly." He could have just poisoned me and let me die other than dragging 6 innocent lives to their early grave.“" You shouldn't blame yourself for their death. It was Rue's fault, and he's paying dearly for his sins. I'm pretty sure he would be living the remaining of his life in guilt and regrets.“ Nathan said, trying to pacify her.Hong Fei creates a faint sob, rolling her eyes at Nathan.“I wish I had known you earlier on! I wish time could be reversed to when I first met with you! I wish I had accepted my father's will to marry you then!“Nathan was quiet, watching Hong Fei as she poured out her heart. When his gaze got locked with Hong Fei, he on
Chapter 128It was morning when Hong Fei stirred up from sleep with a banging pain lodging in her head.A swift gasp escalated from her lips as the pain became intense for her to endure.The scents of hamburger and toasted nuts wafted through her nose, and she Inhaled deeply. She walked, tracing the scents to the kitchen when she met Nathan arranging the burger on the plate.“Good morning." She murmured.Nathan turned to face her, returning the pleasantries. " Hope you had a nice dream?" “Yes!" She chimed, slowly approaching him with wary in her eyes.“Why didn't you wake me up, to prepare breakfast?" Hong Fei inquired with a tinge of displeasure in her tone.“You're my guest! I should treat you better!" He replied, picking the tray from the table and heading out of the kitchen.There was a moment of silence as the two consumed their breakfast.“This," Nathan said pushing a plate of soup over to Hong Fei's side.Hong Fei arched get brow in askance. “It would help cure your hangover
Chapter 129Nathan stood at the windows side of the top floor, his eyes roaming around, but his thoughts hideous.“Isn't the sight beautiful, sir?" “ It must be exciting for you to stay on the top floor.“ A voice sounded from behind." How do you know I'm checking the beauty of the city? And who told you I'm excited about working here? “ Nathan said, turning back to meet a space.'gosh!“ His eyes fluttered shut, as a bright light flashed in his eyes.For the past two weeks, he kept hearing voices, and then imaginary drama. He knew those were a bit of his illusions but he wondered who must have tampering with his reasoning.He opened his eyes, blinking his eyelids to adjust to the light in the room, leaning against the wall.He panted and tried to focus on what he was driving at earlier.“You failed us at Arizona kingdom.

Chapter 130Nathan didn't bother following Reece through the visit and donations. He was pretty sure, Reece wouldn't want to do carry out his greedy act by consuming half quarter of the donation.Nathan hadn't arrived at the hospital when the sudden vibration from his phone alerts him. He answered the call from his Bluetooth ear pod. “Yes?"“An employee just lost his life." A faint voice sounded over the line.“Her name?" Nathan inquired over the phone.“Lauren James!" “Did you see any journal beside her?“ Nathan inquired."No... I'll check sir.“"Sir, there isn't any journal here at the crime scene.“"How many people are present there? Have you noticed anyone leaving the scene?

Herbert's wife hands was toiled with stew from the chicken she was eating.“"Mirabel told Herbert she wants her hands clean. So, I was standing beside, talking with a friend when a hand suddenly reach out to me.“" I was thinking he wants to talk with me” the narrator broke down with tears streaming down his cheeks.The narrator had his gaze lowered to his palms. “I couldn't even recall how it happened. Everything was so fast. And, all I could grab was when his hands reach out to me, my suit was dragged by him apart, and then he torn my Louis Vuitton Polo into shred, giving it to his wife to clean the chicken stew in her grasp.“Nathan watched how the man had broke down in tears.
