"Didn't I mishear?" asked Tom to make sure. He stood up in a huff as Henry approached him from behind."I heard it directly from Camellia, Aland. I think since her head was hit, her evil behaviour is starting to diminish. She told me everything. But she's still not sure when the wedding will take place."Shannon's explanation certainly made Tom understand the confidence of Arthur who suddenly came to ask him to prepare a car as a gift. "I think I should send him a wonderful present.""Did you see, right? Arthur always has a hidden way to get what he wants. His strategies are too cunning, Aland. He will utilise any means for his own benefit. Not for the good of JF Printing."Henry, who was waiting behind Tom's back, was about to turn around when Tom glanced back. "Lemme call you back later, Ms Reynolds. I need to get something done."Tom quickly put down the phone when he saw Henry handing him the company tab."There's an additional request, Mr Cobb. More than eight. They're asking for

"Something is wrong, Ms Reynolds."Tom rose quickly from his chair. It was almost morning when Tom remembered to call Shannon after all night long of watching the furniture production without missing the procedures.He rubbed his nose furiously as he realised something was off. Fighting off his overwhelming sleepiness, he leaned back and watched the stars through the glass window in his office."There's something wrong here. After all, no one anybody wants the others to see their quarrel."Shannon, who was still closed up in bed, could not do much. She glanced at the clock that was still pointing to four in the morning while clearing her throat, adjusting her voice that was still hoarse because she had just woken up from a night's sleep."Didn't I tell you before? Because of her head injury, it's possible for Camellia to change for good in just a matter of nights. It doesn't hurt us anyway, does it? Maybe we have the advantage of keeping a close eye on their progress in making plans."

Shannon, who had fallen back asleep, suddenly woke up quickly. There were negative thoughts that suddenly filled her head that were still sleepy. Unwillingly, she got up and contacted someone. "Mr Camerun, I'm sorry if I interrupted your time. But if I may ask, did Aland contact you before?"Pete, who was also feeling anxious, woke up. He got up and tried to pay attention to the landline. "Is there something you're worried about, Ms Reynolds?"Shannon hesitated to say anything. But no matter what, she couldn't remain silent and wait to hear from Tom, who suddenly sounded hurried. Slowly, Shannon got up from the bed and paced restlessly."The last time he disconnected the phone, he sounded hurried, Mr Camerun. I think something has happened. Should I go over there to see his current condition?"Pete glanced at the clock and shook his head, rejecting Shannon's absurd order. "It's still too dark, Ms Reynolds. Lemme send someone over to have

Jill threw the wineglass in her hand quickly at Arthur. Her eyes were red with resentment when she heard the news that Tom had survived and Brown hadn't done his job properly."Is there no one else I can count on?"Arthur jumped backwards to get out of the way. His breath caught in his throat as he recalled the stakes that hadn't yet been raised by Jill, who was beginning to lose her mind."The police aren't continuing their investigation because there's firm evidence from the hidden cameras that Tom stabbed Lark in self-defence, Mrs Reynolds."Jill gave Arthur a sharp glance. She approached Arthur with wide strides. "I don't care and I don't want to know anything about it, Arthur! At least, if Brown dies, he won't be able to blackmail us! He won't make us go down with him."Arthur looked down and nodded in affirmation as he gazed out of the window of Jill Reynolds' luxurious room. "You're right. But doesn't that mean we can make Tom stop

"We should get going, Pete."Tom had just finished changing when Shannon suddenly walked in with a downcast look, then she glanced to the side as Tom's head nodded curiously.As for Pete, he quickly tidied up his laptop and all the files he had taken from JF Moulding in order to deliver the furniture that was ready to be transported by two large trucks.Shannon opened the door to the room wide enough for Tom to step in. She entered, nodding when Tom saw who had arrived."I heard you almost died, Cobb."Tom was not surprised by the arrival of Jill Reynolds, who wanted to check on him. He invited her to come in and sit on the sofa after Pete left with a lot of luggage."Not nearly dead, Mrs Reynolds. But getting up once again. Isn't that right?"Jill grinned, then glanced at Pete, who had left first after bowing to her. She looked at Tom, who was getting ready to go back to work in a cheap suit he'd picked up at the conven

"Do you want to kick me out, Aland?"Instead of being surprised by Shannon's stubborn refusal to leave for her own safety, Tom smiling. He rubbed the corner of Shannon's eyes that had to get wet and then touched her chin for a while."If you don't want to go anywhere and still want to accompany me, then you have to grow stronger than before, Ms Reynolds. This is only the beginning. And for them, there may never be a happy ending for us."Shannon blinked quickly, glancing up to keep her tears at bay. "Of course. I'll be stronger. We'll face this together. I'll show them that despite their bullying, we can still live happily."Pete, who was still there, smiled and raised his thumbs up to his chest as the couple turned to him. He grabbed the things that had been packed to take away.Tom got up with his hand, clutching Shannon tightly. He carried Shannon out of the hospital without any fear of death. Together with Pete, who bring back some im

Arthur paced back and forth outside his room as he continued to call the customers he had been convinced to return. Unfortunately, his calls were always rejected, and even diverted.Arthur still didn't want to lose hope. He kept trying to find some well-known writers to promote JF Printing as a printing house with high integrity in its field. Unfortunately, by the end of the night, he hadn't even received any of his hard-earned money.Seeing Arthur getting frustrated on the spot, Stallone got up and tapped Arthur lightly on the shoulder. He nodded and asked for Arthur's phone, which he had been holding in his hand."I know someone who probably won't turn you down, Mr Fischer."Arthur's jaw dropped after twisting his head. He nodded his head as if he was waiting for an answer. "What? Why are you talking now?"Brad looked down slowly before finally looking back at Arthur with doubt. "But the thing is, we have brought her down and cursed at

"Can you see? You can still monitor them from home, right? Since morning, I asked some technicians to install many surveillance cameras at JF Moulding and JF Properties."Tom placed the tab Pete had bought on the table. He rested his head on the back of the chair that could be adjusted in height and angle. "We're innocent, Pete. We shouldn't be afraid."Pete lowered his head slowly before finally leaning back. He walked over to a picture of James as a young man with his happy little family. "I'm not scared because we're right, Tom. I just know we have to take risks in the truth. You know, the world is not just about right and wrong. It's about the strong and the weak. The brave and the afraid. There's a lot more to it than that. And I just want to make our path easier. I don't want the same thing to happen again. Because without you, I don't know who else I would hope for."Seeing Pete gazing at the picture of his childhood family, Tom moved. He also moved
