"But why?"
Arthur's surprised question as he and Camellia looked at the message Jill had sent after lying together in bed. In a huff, Arthur got up as he considered. He looked at Camellia, who was also looking at him curiously."What's wrong? Who sent the message?" Camellia also sat up to see the message Arthur got just before falling asleep. And how surprised Camellia was to see a message from her mother that she had never imagined. "Shannon left the house to be re-inhabited by mum? What kinda of joke is this?"Arthur shook his head slowly. He looked at Camellia, who was about to get out of bed, then pulled her hand not to rush to blame the choice her mum made. "Where are you going, Lia? Your mum left a while ago. Maybe she called us just to tell us about the same page.""I have a bad feeling, Arthur. I need to catch up with Mum before she gets home."Unfortunately, Arthur tightened his grip even more. He pulled Camellia's hand to sit back on the bed. "What's go

"Damn it! How could they keep that file somewhere else, when home is the safest place? Crazy! They're fucking crazy!"Jill continued to grumble because she felt defeated in her home. Even though she didn't believe Aland's words and tried to shuffle through all the files in Shannon's room during this time, she couldn't find anything.Annoyed, Jill descended the stairs. She grabbed the clutch that was still on top of her suitcase to reach for her phone to call someone. Unfortunately, Lia never answered her phone."What the hell is that? Why is everyone out of the blue ignoring me, huh? How could Lia ignore me after marrying Arthur? Is she going to control Arthur's fortune by herself? No, Lia. It's not going to happen!"Jill's breath caught in her throat as her eyes widened in anger. But when she saw the guest room Pete had occupied earlier, her anger subsided. Without tiptoeing, Jill entered the guest room to investigate every single corner of the room.Some files

From the hospital room where Shannon was being treated, Aland was doing a lot of important work from various places. Starting with approving several travel requests to go abroad at promo prices which were then immediately followed up to one of his colleagues in the tourism sector who was the destination.Then continued with JF Printing work, which gets more print projects with various requests. Not only that, there is JF Load which has also just experienced a rapid increase in demand for shipping goods in order to get more profit. Many customer requests were approved as they started to get a lot of lottery numbers for the grand prize.Luckily, Pete helped take care of the JF Properties and JF Moulding departments, which were operating optimally even without Aland's direct supervision. Not only the JF Groups subsidiaries, Aland also handle all of Shannon's work related to the Reynolds Industries project, which was quite an effort."Is there anything I can help you with, h

Camellia was running down the hotel hallway in a hurry. She even had to carry her high heels in order to run faster to the lift at the end of the Emerald hotel corridor.While waiting for the lift to arrive, Lia looked back. Making sure Arthur had caught up with her to take her to the office on her first day of work after the wedding. Unfortunately, she hadn't even seen Arthur come out of the luxurious apartment at the other end of the corridor on the top floor of the hotel.Camellia chuckled in annoyance. She stared at the lift that had never arrived before she finally heard the apartment door close softly. Realising it was Arthur's approaching steps, Lia turned and chased after Arthur to walk faster than usual."What's taking so long, Arthur? I have to go to the office right now!"Arthur was curious. He stopped walking for a while, but his wife pulled him back to walk faster towards the lift that was about to arrive."Why are you in such a hurry, Lia? We only g

Hearing someone's question that suddenly came from behind the corridor made Lia's eyes widen in disbelief. She knew very well whose voice it was. Yes, the voice of Cobb, son of the bitch.Aland came in with a thick document. There was no expression on his flat face as he approached and handed the document to Evan Rush."I've gathered the evidence, Mr Rush. I didn't know that Reynolds Industries would be missed even though its CEO is the most assertive woman among business executives. Isn't she famous for her gentle demeanour but reluctance to lose money?"Suddenly, Lia slapped Aland angrily. Her forefinger even pointed in front of Aland's face with her eyes wide. "Stop slandering me and mum, Cobb! Shouldn't you be ashamed, huh? Everyone will talk about our family relationship now! Aland Fischer got slapped by his sister-in-law on the first day after the wedding! Wouldn't a headline like this make JF Groups suffer in the future, Cobb?"Aland still stood firm, despite

"You're wrong, mum. We didn't plan this at all. I didn't even want to bother Reynolds Industries. After all, this isn't my speciality." Aland said as he lowered Jill's still-hovering hand and gripped it tightly. He deliberately paused his sentence to give the board time to move on.Quickly, all the commissioners left the room. But Evan Rush stopped just before passing through the exit. "I'm going to sue you for attempted assault, Mrs Reynolds. Either way, you've gone too far."At the sound of Evan's threat, Jill could no longer contain herself. She threw Aland's hand away with difficulty, but she could not get free easily. She pointed at Evan with her left hand, especially her middle finger, while glaring."I'm going to take you down, Rush! Do you hear me? I'm going to make the career you've built crumble in just a moment!"Evan didn't budge. He hurried on without fear in his angry eyes. He passed Arthur, who tried to get in the way by stretching his arms with little

"How is the result, Aland?"Aland shook his head slowly after closing the door to the room where Shannon was hospitalised. While adjusting his hair, he approached his wife, who was reading a book. He quickly sat down and brought her a medium-sized strawberry cake. "Everything is well. Mr Rush has sent all the evidence he gets to each shareholder's email. You didn't see it?"Shannon closed her book, then looked at Aland with a tilt of her head. "Weren't you the one who forbade me from touching the phone? Should I remind you of the look on your face when I reached for the phone to call Mr Rush?"Aland, who had just remembered, finally nodded and laughed softly. He opened the box of cakes and reached for the spoon that came with the hospital's breakfast earlier. "Please open your mouth. After all, you also know very well that it is an act of corruption. We just need to wait for their judgement."While munching on the cake that she was suddenly eager to enjoy with Aland,

"The media have been abuzz with the recent issue between JF Groups and Reynolds Industries, Aland. You know what happened, huh??"Aland glanced at Shannon who was behind his back, attending the impromptu meeting held by the shareholders of Reynolds Industries even though she was attending online. Once again, he moved away until he was leaning against the door with left hands in his trouser pockets."We discovered Camellia's dirty deeds, Pete. That's why, inevitably, we had to expose her. Not only because we want to punish her and recover the shareholders' losses, but we want to make her realise that evil will not always win. Eventually, good will always find its way home."Pete, who was in the middle of handling JF Moulding, which was again getting customer requests, only nodded in affirmation from a distance. He, who was standing right in front of Henry's workspace window, briefly glanced at the two designers, who were busy fulfilling many orders."That's good for h

"Did you hear me, Shannon?"Aland was still anxious. He was still watching every move of Shannon, who was still shocked beyond belief. He helped Shannon to regain her composure so that he could find out which part was in pain.Shannon took a deep breath, but could not say why. Instead of talking, Shannon's tears spilled down both cheeks.Seeing this, Aland became even more frantic. Both of his hands gripped Shannon's shoulders lightly, then panicked even more. "Stay here! I'll call the nurse, okay?"Aland ran towards the door as Shannon held him back. "No need, Aland."Hearing his wife speak, Aland quickly turned around and approached. His eyes blinked rapidly as he reassured her. "Why? I can call them. Where does it hurt?"Shannon pointed towards the side of the cage, right at the emergency button to call the nurse, who was standing guard at the end of the hospital corridor."You don't have to run around calling them, Aland. There's a button here that co
