"What can I find out about Arthur, Shannon? Just like with Jill. I can't trust anything of his answers. One thing is for sure, I need no more from Arthur now that everything is put back in its proper place and seeing him punished makes me so content."
Shannon nodded in understanding, then lovingly straightened Aland's tie."If that makes you happy, I'll be happy too. At least we'll still be together, heading to our future world."Aland glanced at the clock on his wrist and immediately kissed Shannon lightly on the cheek."It's time, Shannon. Go lead the meeting and amaze them again with that brilliant woman of yours." Aland's hands clenched into fists, encouraging his wife with a smile.Shannon laughed even harder. She covered her mouth with her right forefinger before nodding and leaving. "Goodbye, Aland. Drive carefully and lemme know if you find out anything."Aland held both thumbs up to his chest and left Shannon's room at Reynolds Industries for the par

Aland had just arrived at JF Moulding when Henry greeted him with a beaming smile. He hugs Henry gently and heads to the upgraded design workspace. Two well-organised desks at the far end of the room, with the best lighting, allowed Henry and his new partner to work to their full potential."Is your room working well?" Aland asked curiously.Although the idea of an overhauled workspace did come from him, the arrangement and creation of appropriate furniture was the wish of Henry and his partner according to function and needs.Obviously, Henry nodded in affirmation. "We were really helped, Mr Fischer. Thank you for trusting us.""It's my pleasure, Mr Henry. If you give us your best at work, why can't we give you the best place for your best work?"Henry welcomed Aland in to demonstrate the prototype furniture, which was immediately functional. He pointed out the side of the desk that was attached to the reading cabinet."This looks like a normal desk, Mr Fisc

"Sorry, but can you say it again, Aland? Where are you going?"Shannon's question, which was filled with indecision, made Aland pause for a moment, before finally providing the information about the Duke get from Pete."Since the beginning, I've been curious about Jill's case, Hun. And see, it's evident that your mum planned everything from the beginning. About Duke, how did she get a lawyer who was willing to help with Jill's secret case, who vanished on the way to take his client to move and certify the client's new identity? And how can Jill feel so innocent when she meets Duke's brother? One thing is for sure, Shannon. Your mum has her eye on everything. From the Reynolds' lawyer, to the lawyer's family, to where they live, to how to gain their sympathy without paying. And look. She's really on top of things in just over a year. After that, what else? Your dad's death. And I'm also sure your dad's death was deliberate on Jill's part. Just like my dad's death."Hearin

"Where are you going, hun? Just leave it. I'll wash all the dishes myself. Get some rest, please. You're tired from working all day long," Aland coaxed. He had taken over all the dishes that Shannon wanted to take to the washing sink.But Shannon insisted on cleaning them herself. After all, if she didn't want to be considered missing from the household. Both of her hands took back the pile of dishes that her husband had previously held back."I haven't contributed at all to cooking dinner, Aland. At least lemme contribute by cleaning up.""No, Shannon." This time, Aland did not want to restrain himself. In front of Pete, who had given him so much advice, he was not at all shy about showing his affection for his beloved wife. "Listen, Shannon. I want to apologise in advance if you feel that I'm holding you back from standing on your own. I mean, it's not like that. You just had a miscarriage. And there are other organs that you need to take care of. At the very least, yo

"Will Smith? So early morning? Don't joke around!"Jill's eyes widened in excitement. Because the clock had not yet struck seven when Will Smith came to visit the nearby police station.Jill wasn't the only one who was surprised. Even Arthur, who was sleeping soundly, immediately woke up when he heard Smith's name mentioned by the police officer on duty.Camellia heard the same thing clearly. Although her curiosity was peaked, she suppressed her curiosity as much as possible so that she wouldn't have to talk to Jill for too long.Unfortunately, Jill was immediately bemused when the officer on duty nodded in confirmation."Did you hear that? Instead of calling and defending Arthur, who has been his client for a long time, Will Smith called me without me having to ask. He knows who to defend. That's why he came here before anyone else."From the prison on the side, a yawning Arthur was startled and got up hurriedly. "Don't be too happy, mum. I know Mr Smith lik

Jill got up with an angry look. Her hands pounded on the table even though her hands were still firmly bound."Are you trying to set me up, huh? How could I tell you something I know absolutely nothing about? He just wanted to go take a call, then didn't come back. So is it my fault that he left me alone by the side of the road? On a frontier that wasn't as crowded as it is now? I even tried my hardest to survive! I didn't eat or drink for three days! And only asked for help from passing drivers! And now you're making a big deal out of it now? How dare you, huh?"Will Smith let out his umpteenth long sigh. His hands came together, clenched around each other."He excused himself because he needed to pee. Even his phone was in the car. And you called the police after a day of waiting. Why is your statement now different from the one you gave to the media a long time ago? Why, Mrs Reynolds? What are you hiding from the world?"Jill didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, sh

"Who do you think bought this house, Aland?"Aland sniggered. Hearing the name of the man Mr Wick mentioned, he had no answer."I think it's probably just an unlucky person, Mr Smith. I mean, not unlucky to buy this house, just maybe because he wanted to get married and bought this house with his bride. But I don't think they actually got married.""Something happened before the wedding, you mean?" asked Smith curiously. Being almost forty-five years old made Smith think hard. Especially when he saw Duke's belongings that had never even been put away. "I think this still belongs to Duke. It has his initials on it.""He would write his initials on each of his belongings?" asked Aland with concern.Not without reason, he saw for himself that there were many items that had the letters DS written on the bottom right corner. He glanced at Will Smith, who was busy unpacking some files in a bookcase at the end of the room."Yes. I used to hate it when I saw him writ

"Holy shit! How could I think it was Duke's body?" Will Smith said indecisively. He massaged his temples lightly because he was dizzy.Aland, who had followed him to the basement, could only let out a long sigh. He patted Will Smith's shoulder anxiously before finally approaching a bed table with a bolster on it."I guess he has a strange habit, too. Sleeping in the basement?"Will shook his head slowly. He couldn't even say anything more about the long-disappeared Duke. "Last time, he just liked to be alone in the basement."Aland squatted down slowly, looking at the bed that looked worn out. He looked under the bed while squinting at the illumination from his phone light."Look at this, Mr Smith. There's a safe here. Even the key is still hanging here."Quickly, Aland brought the old safe out from under the bed and lifted it onto the table. He invited Will Smith to open it.Without hesitation, Smith opened the safe quickly. Unfortunately, the safe was s

Jill gaped in disbelief. Her breathing suddenly became laboured before she took a step back while rubbing her chest. Her eyes closed softly before she collapsed with a fit of laughter."Damn it! That girl! That damn girl actually told everyone! What bullshit are you really trying to show by telling everyone about us, Lia?"Camellia in the side prison could only remain silent. Her eyes dripped slowly, before being roughly wiped away."I don't even know the court judgement Arthur was talking about, mum."Arthur fell silent, swallowing hard as he heard Lia's defence that had inadvertently cornered him. He backed away, then sat on the cold metal bed with his legs crossed and swung under the bed."Stop fooling me, Lia! How could Arthur steal it if you, who gave him the key, didn't even know anything, huh? Tell me! What else do you know? Tell me! Who else are you bragging about this too, huh?"Raising her voice slightly, Lia replied firmly. "I told you I never knew
