" What about Kelan? " Esther asked after her mind was settled."Leave that for me to worry about, okay?" Mello smiled, and she nodded.Mello looked at his phone and smiled to himself.Esther watched in amazement. He kept acting strangely, staring at his phone for minutes with a smile. She wanted to ask but it was clear he wasn't ready to share anything yet which made her not to."I have to see Dad," he quickly mumbled to himself, raising his head."Hmm, you were saying?" Esther asked." Nevermind " He smiled and turned to the driver. "Take me to Mr. Buster.""Yes, sir," the driver answered, making an instant turnaround." make a stop at Ashley Suites and hotels, we have to drop Esther, she's need to rest" Mello said and returned his gaze to her " you have to return, it is getting late already, okay" he smiled and she nodded with a smile that was not from her heart.she didn't feel like leaving him all to himself at all.soon Mello started sending texts and making calls. Esther watch
" Baker!! Gather my private army and attack Sir Ren immediately without delay!!" Mr Buster shouted and started coughing." No dad, you have to take it easy. You know you are not fully healed."Mr Buster held his chest painfully and stared at Mello" what did you mean, Mello? He deserves death!! " He said and coughed again." Dad, I have a plan " " Excuse us for now" Mr Buster said and Mr Baker gently strolled out without a word.Mr Buster returned his gaze on Mello." What do you mean?""I'm sure you also heard about the hospital scandal. There's only three days to make everything go right, and I don't want any mistakes, Father," Mello said, his gaze hardened.Mr. Buster nodded in agreement. He had heard about the news and was planning something in secret to counter it. He had tried locating its source but had received no updates from his intelligence officers so far. The issue had become a headache for him, and he was exerting every power he had to rectify the situation.He had also
As the car moved, Mello relaxed his head,thinking.The driver was playing a soft countryside music but he paid little attention to it.It was late in the night and only a few cars were spotted as the car sped along the empty road.They were heading to the airport to see Ana.He had placed a call to Ana when he was still with Esther earlier that afternoon that she should travel over to Los Angeles for a secret meeting. He wanted to see her because he believed she had some information he needed and to take the time to see the sister he had missed dearly.And based on his calculations, she should be at the Airport by now, lodged in the airport hotel, waiting for him.He checked his phone for any message from her and found nothing.He tried calling her but her phone wasn't connecting.It got him worried to a great extent." How many minutes left?" He said to the driver." The map indicates we'll get there soon, Sir." Mello took a deep breath and leaned backward, staring at the dark sky
Sean's gaze locked onto Jeremy's, a battle of wills playing out in the silent room. "Your move, detective," he said softly, the challenge clear.Jeremy's mind raced, searching for a way to defuse the situation. He knew that one wrong move could spark a full-scale confrontation. He took another deep breath, his eyes never leaving Sean's. "Let's talk, Sean. Just you and me. No one else needs to get involved."Sean raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Talk? Seems like the cliche that happens in action movies " He waved a hand dismissively. "Very well, detective. Let's see what you have to say."The tension in the hall was heavy and both parties were on high alert.Jeremy took a little step forward again and it ignited a surge in the dominating tension. "Everyone, hold your positions. We don't need to escalate this. We are all here to play, aren't we"A firm voice cut through the airEveryone turned to the figure walking in, his presence commanding immediate attention. Jeremy's eyes widened a
As the clash broke out, Jeremy's focus was on keeping his team safe while attempting to apprehend Sean. But as the breakout continued, more and more thugs began to pour into the room, overwhelming his team. The sheer number of Sean's men quickly became apparent."Damn it," Jeremy muttered under his breath, his eyes scanning the hall. The thugs seemed endless, a relentless wave of black hoodies and menacing weapons. It was clear now: this was a carefully orchestrated ambush."Everyone, we need to move! Fall back!" Jeremy shouted over the chaos, signaling his team to retreat.His team began to pull back, fighting their way toward the exit. Jeremy covered their retreat, his eyes darting around, assessing the situation. He saw Sean's mocking grin and Sir Ren’s cold gaze."Move, move!" Jeremy urged, pushing his team toward the doors. The thugs pursued, relentlessly and aggressive. Jeremy’s fury burned hot, but he knew they had no choice but to get his team to safety.Jeremy's heart pounde
" okay, the files you requested. Good thing, I brought them here." Ana responded." Good" " But I don't get it, what do you need Sir Chen's files for? "Ana's brows expressed her surprise.Mello smiled without saying a word, joining her in eating the snacks on the table." It's simple, Ana. I need him on my team " he said, munching on another snack.Ana smiled, confused." Why, Mello? What do you need him for? Although you seized his shares and terminated his contract, don't forget he's still working undercover for Sir Ren." Mello smiled." Which is the exact reason I need him. Remember the saying "Turn an enemy into a friend, and he will strive to prove his loyalty to you. It is exactly what I'm about to do. From my finding, he was once Ashley Group's top rising shareholders and even if he betrayed Dad, and I'm sure he still has a little bit of conscience left in him."" Hm, fine. I trust you" she breathed." Here are the documents," she said and handed Mello the files he requested.
Returning to his suite after seeing Lily off, Mello found breakfast already served in the dining area. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries filled the air. He sat down and ate calmly, savoring each bite and allowing himself a moment of peace.After finishing his meal, Mello freshened up, taking a long, hot shower to clear his mind. He dressed smartly, choosing a tailored black suit that projected confidence. Looking in the mirror, he adjusted his tie and took a deep breath. It was time to confront Sir Chen and get some answers.He headed outside, the morning sun casting a golden glow over the Buster Suites and Resort. His car awaited him, the sleek black vehicle gleaming in the early light.His driver was not there yet., Mello got in and drove through the city, the streets gradually coming to life with the morning sun rays.The drive to Sir Chen’s estate was uneventful, giving Mello time to organize his thoughts. He knew this meeting was crucial. He needed to underst
( morning)The black car stopped in the lot of Ashley Quarters, and Esther gently alighted. She was dressed in a stunning black gown that embraced her curves, the fabric flowing elegantly with her every move. She took her bag and gently closed the car door before proceeding to the building.Her face was expressionless as she moved, not minding the faces that turned to her in admiration and curiosity. The sun kissed her black, soft hair, making it glow as if it were soaked in oil.All through the night, Mello clouded her thoughts, his restless face appearing in her mind over and over again. She couldn't bear the thoughts of leaving him all by himself when he clearly needed help. The memory of his troubled eyes and the weight he carried on his shoulders haunted her.As she entered the building, the doorman greeted her with a polite nod, but Esther barely noticed. She needed to focus, to find a way to support Mello without being a distraction. As she walked in, her surprise grew when s
