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
On his way back home, Mason contemplated the hatred in Kalix's eyes directed towards him. It was not just a minor dislike for simple reasons, but a deep-seated hatred. Mason delved into his memories, trying to recall anything he had done to Grace or Kalix in the past, but still could not find the reason behind that profound hatred.He knew what he had done was terrible and deserving of hate, but it did not seem so awful as to make someone despise him so intensely.The car entered the apartment complex where Mason currently resided. After his previous house was seized, Mason decided to live in this apartment, his own property. As for Jayden, he chose to stay at the main residence of the Dominic family with Old Dominic. Despite seeming selfish, Mason did not object to Jayden for various reasons. After all, they still communicated quite well.Upon opening the door, Mason was immediately greeted with a question, "How did it go? Was it successful?"Mason was not surprised when he heard Jay
Eugene was one of many people surprised by Mason's post. She found out about it from her friend, Hannah, and when she read about Mason's press conference announcement for tomorrow, she could not resist going to see Kalix.Seeing Eugene's anxiety, Grace smiled softly and teased her, saying, "You're so restless just because you've been apart from Kalix for less than an hour. Go find him, do not keep me company here and get bored alone."Eugene felt a little embarrassed hearing Grace's teasing tone, she smiled thinly as if embarrassed by being exposed, but actually hiding small emotions in her heart. Whatever Mason was going to do, after what happened earlier this evening, it certainly was not good for Kalix. That's why Eugene felt worried."Mom, I'm going upstairs to find Kalix," Eugene said and quickly left after getting approval.Watching Eugene leave, Grace sighed and her emotions changed slightly. She turned to her caregiver, asking, "What's going on? Why does Eugene seem a little w
Recently, a business magazine contacted Kalix and asked him to be the cover face of the magazine. Amidst the turmoil surrounding Mason and the Dominic Family, Kalix's situation remained remarkably relaxed, like any other ordinary day.Having let everything run its course, Kalix no longer concerned himself with Mason's affairs. He knew there were plenty of issues awaiting the old man. Kalix did not want to bother himself with those matters.As agreed, the business magazine interview would take place at the offices of Owen Financial Holdings. Kalix was greeted by two employees from Prospero Business Magazine, one being a renowned interviewer in the business world and the other a cameraman."Hello, Mr. Kalix, nice to meet you again," said Derrick, the interviewer. This was the second time he had met Kalix, the young businessman he quite admired, especially after their first conversation when Kalix spoke with the head of Prospero Business Magazine.Kalix warmly welcomed Derrick and his co
