"T-Ted Bowen? Sorry, but can you say it again?"
Aland repeated his same question when he heard the name of Ronald's friend being introduced. He swallowed hard as he stepped into the open lift."Did you hear anything about me, Mr Fischer?"Bowen’s question, which sounded very formal, caused Aland to bow his head softly."I heard you gave US Foods to Arthur, my stepbrother, a few weeks ago. Thank you for your generosity, Mr Bowen."Instead of being flattered by Aland's bow to him, Bowen tapped him on the shoulder repeatedly. He shook his head slowly while clucking as if he was giving a warning."I've been watching you lately, Mr Fischer. And because of that, I'm asking you not to be too nice to new people. Because you never know what the other person is really up to."Instead of being grateful for being given a valuable warning, Aland preferred to express his life principles."I will still try to be a good person, Mr Bowen. If they try to bring me down,

Instead of trembling in fear, Aland laughed and nodded as if he was expecting them. Without hesitation, he sat down at the end of his desk as he waited for them to resume their conversation.Jill looked even angrier. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, ready to stab at any moment, and she tapped the table with her forefinger repeatedly."What do you really want to show by reporting Lia, Cobb? You want to give her a bad name, huh?"Aland remained silent. He tucked a finger between his other fingers."Bringing a lawyer here wouldn't be a bad idea, mum. But suing me about Lia, that would be very bad for your popularity, mum."Camellia moved away with a sharp glare. Her eyes were narrowed, as if she was demanding an answer to a question she had never asked. She held her forefinger in front of Cobb's face as if she were making an actual threat."No matter how hard you try to make me fall, I won't fall easily, damn Cobb!"Aland paused, then rubbed his nose quickl

"What are fucking you saying? It's not entirely my fault, Lia! You should have told me all your plans! I'm your mum and you're hiding that much money at your dad's tomb? That's not wise and you should have known that from the start!"Lia immediately glanced at her mother and got up from the sofa. Her gaze turned extremely sharp and terrifying."You lost my money and I'm to blame? Are you really that crazy, huh? How could there be no money left at all, mum?!"Jill was not to be outdone. She pushed her daughter's shoulder for daring to yell at her, even blaming her."We all know you are the foolish one! How could you say that when you were at the police station? Before you were arrested, you could have whispered it to me! Only then I could have saved it for our future life, Lia! When you called me, they must have heard your conversation too! Goddamn it! Without I telling you, you should have thought of all the possibilities, my minnie, many idiots!"Suddenly, an an

"Don't damn you see it? This is a credit card with unlimited transactions! How could this card be declined just because I spent no less than two thousand pounds, huh?"Arthur's question made the person behind the counter just look down quietly. After all, it was not his intention to make the credit card Arthur had given her unusable."We apologise, sir. But the card was indeed declined and you know very well I have tried it three times in front of you. There may be a technical glitch going on. So, what about the payment?"Jill, who had been waiting at the table, quickly got up and moved. She approached Arthur, who was busy arguing with a server after dinner."What's wrong, huh?"Arthur was surprised to find Jill there. He swallowed hard before finally telling the truth."They said my card was declined. The police have opened up all access to our finances, haven't they?"Jill chuckled, then looked at Arthur sharply. "You still have another card, don't you?

"Has he gone mad? He even blatantly humiliated us in front of everyone! And you guys just keep quiet? Have you turned your backs on him? This isn't a coincidence! I swear on my life, I'll make them endure all of our suffering as soon as possible!"In the living room of the Reynolds residence, Jill was pacing back and forth in front of the sofa. Even though her eyes looked red and horrible, she couldn't express all her frustration because she was dizzy.Camellia and Arthur's silence made Jill even angrier, and she glared at the two young people in front of her, who were busy resting their heads. "Nothing wanna calm me down now, huh?"Lia, who looked tired, got up from the sofa and gave her mother a sharp look. Her hands were clasped together, as if she was fed up with her mother's words that were never put into action."It's useless if you keep getting angry without telling me where my money is, mum. Because you can't do anything without money."Hearing that, Jill

"You really did?" asked Shannon, bursting into laughter. Her laughter hasn't stopped since Aland started telling his story for the first time.Pete did the same, even as the trio relaxed in the living room. "If you hadn't been there, I think they'd probably be in the news for a big story about how they'd been evicted because they couldn't pay, Aland."Aland nodded slowly and rubbed his chin, which was about to grow fine hair around his jaw. "I wonder why Jill didn't take out her wallet. She still has some credit cards, doesn't she?"Shannon pushed Aland's arm lightly with her forefinger in annoyance. "Mum wouldn't want to take out her money, Aland. She won't want to be at a disadvantage even if she's already enjoyed her food."Aland quickly grabbed the food his wife wanted and fed it to her lovingly. Although he bought the roast chicken dish to fulfil his wife's sudden craving, he also bought Pete the same food to eat."Please enjoy the food, Pete. I had to drive quite a distance to g

Suddenly, Arthur took a step back. His eyes widened when he heard what Aland said. Arthur's clutching hand tremble, and then his breath to catch.Seeing this, Jill pushed Arthur away and started slapping Aland for the umpteenth time."After all, he is your dad's son! He wouldn't do anything to his dad! There's just a lot of traumas Arthur is feeling because of your accusations without proof! Shouldn't you think before you speak, huh? Let alone the recently deceased! Remembering how William fell from the second floor makes me shudder every time I see the stairs! And you're reminding Arthur of the death of his dad, whom he loved so much?"Shannon, who had been silent, couldn't help but get up from the sofa. Although Pete had approached first to restrain her, she still tried to get up to help Aland fight the two madmen who were ganging up on her husband."No, Pete. I can't stay silent."Jill looked away briefly, then squinted sharply as she grinned."You want to hear it too? You want to

"Pete, where are we going? What about Aland? His leg is hurt. He has to be saved, Pete!"The car Pete was driving continued to drive, cutting through the city streets in the night. He looked anxiously at Shannon in the back, in the mirror above the cab."We can go anywhere, Shannon. But not by meeting them. They're going crazy! Just like Aland said before. At the very least, we should avoid them before they do bad things to you."Shannon's phone rang loudly, and she picked up the phone that had been in her oversized shirt pocket. Aland's shirt was deliberately worn for comfort, like never before."W-what about you, Aland? Where are you? Can you hear me? I'll call Allen and Frey! I'll also call an ambulance! Can you hold on a little longer?"Instead of getting answers to all her questions, Shannon heard Aland's laboured breathing, which made her even more anxious."Hallo? Please say something, Aland!"Aland was pressing the accelerator with difficulty. His injured leg made him unable t

"Are you getting crazy? We're trying to save ourselves and you're using us as bait?"Pete's shouting made Aland despair for just an instant, but when he saw the point of Jill's car getting closer, he couldn't delay any longer."She's behind you! Seven o'clock!"Suddenly, Pete immediately turned right at the intersection, trying to avoid the pursuing Jill, who didn't even stop even though her path had been cut off because of the sudden turn."It's not the bait, Pete! But it's perfect timing! We can't let these two survive after today! Sooner or later, they'll be behind bars!" Aland shouted, reminding Pete once again. His breath kept coming in quick gasps as he recalled how dangerous the plan he was preparing was. "You know, I don’t wanna lose anyone after Dad's death, Pete. I don't want to lose anyone again. Including Shannon. Not even you! Can you trust me?"Pete returned the phone to Shannon heavily. He nodded his head even though he knew Aland wouldn't see his gesture from a distanc
