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
What people, including Mason, never imagined was amidst the internet turmoil, suddenly an anonymous account emerged revealing something shocking.Mason Dominic truly became the main focus on various social media platforms. Previously, he had proposed a brilliant idea to revitalize the city, potentially transforming the capital into a modern and sustainable urban center. Because of this brilliant idea, he received a lot of praise from the capital's residents.An anonymous letter suddenly appeared on social media and local newspapers. It was written by someone who called themselves "the shadow" and claimed that the brilliant idea proposed by Mason was actually their own work. They accused Mason of stealing the idea and claiming it as his own to garner praise and recognition.As the anonymous letter spread, the chaos in the capital grew. More and more people began to doubt his intentions and integrity.Mason Dominic was accused of being a fraud and a liar, even his fanatic supporters wer
Without delay, Kalix immediately contacted Old Connor and expressed his desire directly, without beating around the bush. After a brief greeting, he said, "You can release TX Corporation entirely for the time being." Old Connor did not ask many questions, he simply agreed to Kalix's words. As an elder who had experienced many things in life, especially in business, Old Connor knew that what Kalix was doing must have another meaning. Old Connor promptly instructed his grandson to hold off their fatal shots against TX Corporation. He also remained silent when many people wondered what he intended to do. He casually said, "Someone asked me to stop." This sparked speculation and questions about who could control Old Connor's actions. With TX Corporation released from the 'pursuit' of the Connor family company, the CEO breathed a sigh of relief. Although their company had been trying hard to disentangle from the Connor family and slowly detach, today they were finally free. The CEO of T
On the television screen, Mason Dominic, who usually exuded tall and confident demeanor, now had a slightly stooped posture. His once visionary and vibrant face looked weary with thick bags under his eyes. The sparkle in his eyes, which he used to maintain to convince people, was now lost.His attire was as formal as usual, but slightly less neat. His appearance seemed 10 years older than his actual age. However, traces of experience and years of standing at the pinnacle did not completely fade. Mason glanced at one of the journalist cameras, then revealed a thin, somewhat sad smile.Through the television, his hoarse voice was heard as he answered one of the journalist's questions.[Yes, I have decided to withdraw from the gubernatorial candidacy.][No, it's not because I'm ashamed of my family's actions, but because I'm ashamed to face the public with all the chaos that has occurred.][I'm fine, and it should have been like this. Thank you for your understanding. I have to go.]Maso
Kalix was left sitting alone while the homeowner, Jasper, went to the kitchen. No, not to make tea or coffee for the guest, but to prepare food for himself. Nevertheless, Kalix remained patient. He waited calmly and appeared quite relaxed.The room was not overly large, but it was not small either. For a single person, it was spacious enough, especially since there was not much furniture inside. There was only a small single sofa and a chair, with a small table littered with cigarette butts on it. Not far from there were some rather advanced-looking computer equipment in a room with a slightly ajar door.Kalix gazed at the room for a moment with a puzzled expression. Then he heard the system speaking in his mind."The computer in that room has been upgraded, you could say the computer system is more advanced than most computers nowadays.""Is Jasper really that skilled?" Kalix asked, curious.Even though technology had advanced, it was not easy to upgrade an informatics system. Especi
"Someone is investigating you."The system echoed in Kalix's mind, on the quiet and cold streets of the night. Kalix was not surprised by what the system said, he also knew who was currently investigating him.Ever since seeing the computer in Jasper's room and knowing the man's interest and ability in technology, Kalix had anticipated this problem. However, Jasper was not a fool and certainly not someone easily influenced by strangers.Even if he remained silent until this moment after the unfortunate incident that befell him, Jasper's main reason for not seeking revenge certainly was not due to the familial relationship between him and Julie. It might be because this was what Jasper wanted. To live freely without others' expectations or arrangements."That man is quite stubborn," Kalix commented on Jasper.The system responded with absolute agreement, not saying more or discussing Jasper further."So what are you going to do now?" the system asked.Kalix did not immediately give an
Mason has been having a rough time for the past few days. Not only has his political career been damaged, but his monthly income has also decreased. Especially after everything that happened at Dominic's family company.The company's stocks plummeted drastically, and Julie's status as the sole heir actually declined due to her actions tarnishing and harming the company. The executive members of the company openly showed their displeasure one by one.Mason knows Julie could not possibly be involved in the fraud, and even if she were, it shouldn't have been exposed. However, there was a hand involved in revealing Julie's involvement. There's no need to question it, Mason knows whose 'hand' it is.That's why he's here now, in front of Kalix's house. He did not come willingly but based on his son, Jayden's advice.Even every action and drama performed based on that script.Kalix stood not far from his house gate, staring at Mason acting with a coming, even slightly mocking expression. He
