Jane glanced back reflexively, furrowing her brows as she realized who was tapping her shoulder and saying something unpleasant."Well, I regret it," said Jane, giving Mr. Connor a cold snort. Then she continued, "I regret choosing to work with you at the beginning, but you're not very helpful.""Tsk," Mr. Connor rolled his eyes but did not express any displeasure. "You were the one who approached me first and offered to work together. If you regret it, that's your business and it doesn't affect our deal."Jane snorted coldly, turned around, and walked into the restaurant. Initially, she thought she wouldn't work with Kalix, so she chose Mr. Connor. However, who would have guessed that Kalix in his current life would be much stronger and certainly more appealing. Jane could only sigh deeply with regret.As she entered the restaurant, she bumped into someone she knew."Eugene..." Jane called out in surprise.Eugene halted her steps and showed a thin smile, not intimate but not unfamili
That morning, as the employees of the Dominic Family Company arrived at the office, they found their computers running very slowly. After investigating the issue, they discovered that their company's system had been hacked. Panic and confusion spread throughout the office as they realized that crucial company data had been hijacked and stolen through their leader's computer.The CEO of the Dominic Family Company, Julie Dominic, immediately called the main IT team to handle the situation. They found that the hackers had successfully penetrated their defense layers and encrypted crucial company data.Julie nervously bit her nails and watched the IT team work. "Can't you handle this?" she asked anxiously.The head of the IT team dared not look directly at Julie, he bowed his head and replied, "Boss, these hackers... they're so skilled that we're struggling to fix it."Julie gritted her teeth and muttered, "Useless."Although her voice was low, it was audible to the head of the IT team, a
"This person is shameless," Kalix commented while changing the TV channel at home, leaning back on the sofa and glancing at his mother, who was also watching TV with him but not saying a word."Mom, why are you staying silent? Do not tell me you regret letting me deal with that old man."Finally, Grace reacted, she looked at Kalix and replied, "No. That's your business with those people. Mother supports whatever you do as long as it's not illegal."Kalix grimaced, turning his gaze back to the TV screen, showing a daily drama. In his heart, he justified himself, hacking into their computers wasn't illegal. Then he stood up and went to his office after speaking to Grace.He wasn't afraid of getting caught because he had faith in the system that he wouldn't be caught as a hacker who breached Julie's computer and almost all the computers in the Dominic family company. He also did not feel guilty for doing it to Mason and Julie, after all, he had done things like this before.However, with
Kalix was busy searching for Jasper Dominic. He knew the likelihood of obtaining information about someone presumed dead 15 years ago was like finding a needle in a haystack.There were many possibilities regarding that person. Surely Jasper himself could not have been living under his original name and identity for these past 15 years, otherwise, his existence would have been known by Julie. There were also other possibilities, such as Jasper experiencing amnesia or sustaining facial injuries so he could not be recognized by others.Nevertheless, Kalix did not give up. Not because he felt sorry for the Dominic family that would be devastated, but because his heart desired this. For some reason, there was a strong urge in Kalix's heart to find Jasper. He himself did not know why he cared so much about the existence of that stranger.Unfortunately, despite searching for the man's trail, Kalix still could not find any trace of him. He sighed resignedly."What's wrong with you?" A famili
About 15 years ago, Jasper Dominic survived a car accident when he went to relax on his day off at a villa in the mountain area. The car he was in went off the cliff and exploded before catching fire. Everyone thought he had died, but in reality, the man who burned in the car was not him, he managed to escape from the car just in time.Many things happened back then, so he decided to use the identity of the man who burned in the car and live a normal life. Until he was accidentally found by Mr. Celeste."I did not help him hide, but I helped him live a better life," said Mr. Celeste to Kalix after telling him a little of what he knew about Jasper Dominic.Mr. Celeste sighed deeply and said again, "Now I do not know where Jasper is."Kalix nodded and asked, "Uncle, may I know what his new identity is now?"Not immediately answering, Mr. Celeste stared at Kalix with a somewhat complicated investigative look. As if he was questioning Kalix's purpose in knowing about the 'man who was dead
At night, a post about the suspicion that Kalix was a discarded child of Mason spread on the internet. And it heated up more with each passing hour, especially the next day.The uploaded post explained the connection between recent rumors circulating about Mason and the rumor about Kalix being an official's child. Even though the time gap was significant, it still convinced many people.In addition, there were photos, videos, and voice recordings between Kalix and his friends from Oakville when they were talking at the restaurant that night. So, it made the uploader and the people reading the news start to question the truth. It all felt confusing, but their minds could accept it because it had an undeniable connection.Even an internet traveler left a comment that made netizens more convinced.[Turns out the truth is like this, no wonder Mason paid me money to bully Kalix and make him uncomfortable at Chroma University.]The comment received a lot of responses.[Is this true? You're
The journalists squatting in front of the Owen Financial Holdings building did not budge no matter how hot the afternoon was, even when Eugene arrived, they attempted to swarm her to ask various questions.Kalix and Eugene treated them as if they were nothing, also instructing the company's employees to do the same. Consequently, not a single employee spoke up to answer the journalists' questions.However, this did not deter them from pursuing the news they desired.On the way home, Eugene asked Kalix, "What will you do next? Those journalists do not seem like they'll give up easily."Kalix nodded, "Mm-hmm, indeed, they won't give up easily. Let them do this for a few more days."Hearing his response, Eugene could not help but notice her lover's demeanor. Kalix seemed incredibly calm, as if not at all bothered by the bothersome journalists. He also did not appear to be someone caught up in the storm.His tranquility did bring Eugene a sense of calmness, but somehow there was a small p
"Would you like to have dinner outside?" Eugene finished her work and began tidying up the desk she had been working on in the office.Meanwhile, the room owner had just finished signing the last document before handing it over to his secretary standing next to his desk. Kalix glanced towards Eugene and replied, 'mn'."What would you like to eat?" Eugene asked again.Kalix seemed to ponder it, then answered seriously, "What about you? What are you in the mood for dinner tonight? I'll follow your taste."Eugene took out her phone and booked a table for them at her favorite restaurant. All of this was done without answering Kalix's two previous questions. And Kalix did not mind because they were used to interactions like this.After everything was settled, Kalix took over Eugene's work bag and walked out of the company building. Eugene came with her car, but ended up going home using Kalix's car."Do you want to go on a date first?" Kalix suddenly asked such a question in the car, makin
