The next day, Kalix went to the new airport construction site.He arrived around noon and met with his secretary. After lunch, they headed to the construction site.The construction site supervisor was very impressed with Kalix. Upon hearing that Kalix would come today, he had the workers work overtime and clean the construction site the previous night, including the kitchen.Kalix got out of the car and said to the supervisor while wearing his helmet, “You should do the cleaning job well at regular times, so even if I come unexpectedly, you don’t need to work overtime.”The supervisor’s smile froze, he didn’t expect Kalix to have spies on the construction site.Seeing how firm Kalix was upon arrival, his secretary’s mouth almost imperceptibly curved. Although Kalix hadn’t been here for almost a month, he was aware of the progress.He and his secretary walked around the construction site, focusing on the fire safety situation before returning to the office area. There were indeed many
Kalix is sitting on the sofa in the room, his facial features blurred in the dim light, only his eyes shining coldly at me. After a while, Kalix takes out his phone and makes a call.As the phone call ends, night has truly arrived. Kalix bows his head, and his eyelashes cast deep shadows under his eyes, making him look lonely and indifferent.Not knowing how long the doorbell rang, Kalix lifts his eyelids and walks expressionlessly.Kalix opens the door from the inside and sees a beautiful woman standing outside the door.It turns out to be Eugene.Seeing this unexpected person, Kalix is momentarily confused, “You... Why are you here?”But before Eugene gives an answer, Kalix has already pulled her into his embrace.Despite the hug, Eugene can feel Kalix's anger because she came to him suddenly, without saying a word.To avoid the man's anger, she says weakly, “I'm tired and hungry.”Although feeling happy, there are still hard wrinkles on his forehead when he looks at Eugene. Kalix w
Eugene stood behind Kalix, observing how Jane was treated with coldness, yet her heart felt uneasy every time she heard the words uttered by Jane. It was as if she could imagine Kalix sharing his life with another woman for years.Despite her rationality, she felt jealous, and the feeling surfaced as if it could strangle her at any moment. Eugene remained silent, unable to say anything. She stood frozen behind Kalix, watching the two and listening to their conversation.On the other side, Jane was oblivious to how Kalix looked at her, so she didn't realize his impatience. Overflowing with emotions, she poured out all the hardships in her heart."I'm guilty of betraying you before and being a spy for Mason. I beg for your forgiveness, Kalix, please forgive me and come back to me like before. Please stop tormenting me, stop making me scared and suffer."Jane cried, trying to hold Kalix's hand, showing her sincerity. Her entire body trembled, and her sorrow was palpable to others.In a l
"You truly lived with that woman for years without knowing her rottenness?" Eugene widened her eyes, staring incredulously at Kalix, then continued, "I must admit, Mr. Kalix Owen, you were very naive in your past life."Kalix's expression appeared gloomy as he covered Eugene's mouth with his hand. Only when he was certain she would stop berating her foolishness did he release her."It's not just me who's foolish, Miss Eugene Celeste, you're also foolish for marrying a scoundrel like Jaxson Dominic."Upon hearing Kalix's retort, Eugene snorted in disgust and argued, "I must have been deceived."Oh, Kalix couldn't do anything about it because that was the truth. He heard from Nick that, in order to marry Eugene, Jaxson actually played an emotional game that gradually made Eugene dependent on him.Kalix sighed deeply, then leaned back. "Do you really believe my story? Doesn't it sound like nonsense?""Mm-hmm, it does sound like nonsense," Eugene replied without hesitation. She observed K
In the end, after revealing each other's secrets, Eugene didn't open another room. She slept in Kalix's room but kicked him out of bed, instructing him to sleep on the couch with an unreasonable excuse.She said, "Imagining you with another woman for years makes me upset."Of course, Kalix didn't give up easily, he tried to persuade Eugene, but in the end, he had to sigh deeply, regretfully lying down on the sofa and contemplating.Their bodies lay, but their minds wandered everywhere, neither of them could sleep. Until finally, Eugene gave in, sitting on the bed and looking towards the sofa, seeing Kalix with closed eyes. Nevertheless, she knew the man hadn't slept at all.Ignoring Kalix's silence, Eugene asked, "What will you do after this?"Without opening his eyes, Kalix replied, "Settle accounts with Jane and then silence her."No response. Kalix opened his eyes and looked towards the bed, with a smile on his lips, he asked, "What does the lady think?"Eugene snorted coldly, turn
Under that provocative gaze, Eugene certainly didn't want to back down. She returned Jane's stare, not with her usual calmness, but with a hint of possessiveness and a firm determination to defend what she had. They locked eyes, baring their emotions to each other.Seeing this, Kalix felt dizzy. Even if he didn't like Jane, it didn't mean he enjoyed seeing Eugene so defensive. Yet, he didn't want to intervene and risk being misunderstood by Eugene. So, he quietly observed the confrontation unfolding before his eyes.Realizing Kalix's silence, both Eugene and Jane simultaneously turned their gaze toward him."What's up? Did you finally remember I'm here?" Kalix looked at Eugene and spoke to her naturally.Eugene snorted in annoyance and turned her face away. She looked at Jane again, "I don't care who you are or where you're from. All I know is that Kalix is mine, and I'll defend him unless he himself wants to leave me.""Tsk, do you think I'll believe that?" Jane expressed her disbeli
The meeting, which was supposed to be attended by three people, turned into a dinner for two. After they finished eating and were about to pay, the restaurant waiter mentioned that their dinner had already been settled. Without much thought, they knew it was Jane who covered the bill.This time, Eugene booked a room next to Kalix's, so they weren't in the same room.Kalix couldn't sleep, for some reason, he kept thinking about what Jane had said. The woman's transformation was so drastic that it left him bewildered. Even if the system had confirmed the truth that Jane was the same person from his previous life.The system even scolded him, saying, "What's strange? You've changed too, why can't she?"Yes, in the end, everyone changes after experiencing something significant.Kalix slowly fell asleep, dreaming of something peculiar. It seemed like fragments of memories from his previous life, witnessing Nick desperately seeking justice for him, Eugene also in despair after learning of h
Kalix returned home, not for rest or to eat or drink, but to search for his mother's phone and check it. When he opened the phone, as he suspected, it was indeed from a number he hadn't seen in a long time but was very familiar. It was the number that had repeatedly contacted him in his previous life, threatening him. Staring at a series of numbers that even after years couldn't be forgotten, a sense of disgust crossed Kalix's eyes.Considering what Mason had done, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.However, the phone in his pocket rang, redirecting his thoughts back to reality. Indeed, he no longer lived under Mason Dominic's control or any other Dominic family member. He had lived his life according to his own desires and done so very well.He was different from the lonely and foolish Kalix of the past.Calming himself, Kalix took his phone from his jacket pocket and answered Eugene's call."Are you okay?" It was the first question Eugene asked, unconsciously making all the disco
