"What do you mean mum lied to get us caught up in her game? Don't make accusations, Aland. Didn't you see the sadness in her eyes? The explosion really happened, and the police confirmed about the phone that was found. And Mum has also confirmed that the number on the phone was Arthur's, Aland. Which part do you call a plan when even the police from outside the continent testified to the accident?"
Aland shook his head slowly. He was still pacing in his old house after making sure Jill's microphone was removed and cleaned. His hand was busy rubbing his chin, thinking about the odd things that had suddenly happened as if he was being played. "No, Shannon. I know Jill is sad. I know she's lost. But I'm not sure Arthur is playing himself there. I'm not sure Arthur is really gone. This isn't the world of cinema where bad guys lose easily. Something might have happened to him. And I believe this is the first step in his more devious plan to bring us down."Pete nodded i

"I know you all loved Arthur as much as we did. We were also devastated by the news of his death that we heard from one police officers over there. But after we traced everything, including having the doctor who treated Arthur during his lifetime send samples of Arthur's blood, DNA, and tooth structure, we saw for ourselves that Arthur was not dead. He just landed from his trip this morning. And I don't think he knew that he was rumoured to be dead either. I, as the president director of JF Groups, apologise for the recent unrest. Also, for the misunderstanding that occurred because of miscommunication between our families, especially between me and my mum-in-law. I hope all of you will understand. Thank you."Many journalists and reporters began to pepper Aland with questions. They focused on Arthur's condition, which Aland had mentioned earlier. Especially about Arthur's landing on his trip."If that's the case, can you tell us what Arthur's current condition is?

"There's no need to corner me too often, Aland. You'll find out soon enough. Let alone food and shelter, I can even support you and the orphanage you grew up in for seven generations."Arthur's arrogant attitude certainly made Aland frown in surprise. He began to grow angry and wondered how Arthur could be this arrogant after giving him all of his dad's assets.In fact, Arthur's behaviour became even more of a concern to Smith. He looked at Arthur's clothes from head to toe. Smith knew that Arthur's clothes were not cheap suits. He had never even seen a brand imprinted on the suit Arthur wore before, despite having worked with many of Britain's leading actors and businessmen."So, did you find the treasure in San Francisco and bring it here, Arthur?"Aland shook his head in disbelief at what Smith across the table was saying. He even glanced at Arthur to make sure."I didn't find it, Mr Smith. It was the treasure that came to me. So, why

Aland stopped climbing the stairs. He glanced at the customers, who were looking at him curiously. Slowly but surely, Aland smiled in response to his customer's question that he did not recognise."I only want to make JF Moulding as successful as before, mam. Whoever my parents are, I don't care. All I know is that I have to do a good job for JF Moulding's loyal customers. Have a nice day and enjoy more discounts on the furniture of your choice. Please excuse me."Receiving an unexpected response, the customers who heard it could only be silent and glanced at each other quietly. But in the next second, they were again busy choosing the furniture of their choice that was being promoted with many discounts.Aland arrived at the second floor when he saw the ten new JF Moulding employee candidates sitting in a row. He smiled as Megan approached. "Shall we begin now, Mr Fischer?"Without answering, Aland immediately looked at each of the candidates who

"W-what did you say? Didn't I mishear? I mean, he's rewarding you with his subsidiary that starts inaugurating tomorrow? Are you getting crazy? A company as big as US Foods worth three hundred million dollars became yours overnight?"It wasn't only Jill who was shocked to death, Camellia also blinked so fast that she had to hold her breath for a long time. "Th-three hundred million dollars? How could he give up that much money for you for nothing, Arthur?"Arthur smiled triumphantly. He nodded his head slowly as he looked up, gazing at the ceiling of Jill's equally luxurious residence. "I originally only asked her to acquire JF Travel so that I could survive. And to make me an investor in the new project that Reynolds Industries was creating so that I would also have a stake. But apparently, Shannon refused."Hearing Arthur's explanation, Jill shook her head slowly. She blinked rapidly and leaned in quickly. "Wait! Reynolds' new project? Shannon refused? H

"Oh, my! Are you serious about this news?" asked Aland after finishing a job interview with three manager candidates in the factory area. His hands were busy massaging his temples as he heard the shocking news about Arthur returning with another ownership in the name of US Foods.Slowly but surely, Aland opened his laptop went he arrived in his room. He, wanna to the search page, and searched for news about Ted Bowen to verify everything. Unfortunately, he found the news. News about Ted Bowen's condition after an accident in San Francisco during the company tour, according to what his trusted people said."No wonder he turned two bankrupt subsidiaries over to me for free. Apparently it's because someone has secured his life more. Apparently, someone gave him more bucks than the income he earned from the corrupt business at JF Groups."After thanking him, Aland quickly disconnected the call from the person he had trusted to stake out Arthur and Jill this mo

"How is that possible? Pete didn't say anything about this."Aland's surprise at the news that had just been revealed made Shannon nod in understanding. Even she herself had only learnt about the truth from an overheard conversation.He was so shocked that Aland, who was driving a car, slowed down and had to pull over to calm his mind."At first I didn't believe it either, Aland. But when I remember how enthusiastic Mum was about making Arthur the main owner of JF Groups for a long time, and how yesterday Mum's words that echoed during Arthur's death were heard, it all makes sense."Aland closed his eyes. He looked up and leaned his head. No wonder Jill was so adamant about all of JF's wealth going to Arthur that she had to kill him."I wonder. Was Arthur's abandonment of me also provoked by Jill? She went too far if Arthur's behaviour back then was really because of Jill's words."Shannon took Aland's hand in hers and looked at

Hand in hand, Shannon and Aland entered the house after much deliberation. The two entered without wearing masks like everyone else who was attending the celebration. But strangely, the lights shone right on the two after entering the fence.In the glare, Shannon quickly looked away, hiding her face in the crook of Aland's neck. Aland did the same. To cover his eyes from the blinding light of the lamp, his arms were raised as if he was shading himself from the light that came from nowhere."You see, don't you?" asked Shannon quietly. She glanced at Aland with concern. "They just want to embarrass us."Who would have thought that while Shannon and Aland were still glancing at each other because of the ignored warning, the applause suddenly echoed so loudly? The roar of applause suddenly made the two of them wonder."Because of our new mate, Arthur and I are more certain of our feelings. Arthur and I, in fact, have loved each other since we first me

The clock was still pointing to eight in the evening when Shannon and Aland walked into their room on the second floor. Shannon let out a long sigh and flopped onto the bed with her head spinning. She chuckled in annoyance, then looked up at the ceiling in resignation."You saw it, didn't you? They really humiliated us. I can't believe it, but they never think properly, Aland. All they can think just about is how they can surpass us."Aland smiled softly as he looked at his watch. He loosened his tie before taking off his elegant shirt."You saw it too, didn't you? I can still turn it around, Shannon. There were more than a dozen journalists there. They must have made our statement under the headline. Isn't our well-being more important than anything else?"Shannon twisted her head. She frowned and began to rest her head on her right hand while tilting to the right, watching her husband, who was changing his clothes. "How did you get that evidence
