"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
Many people were surprised when they heard about Mason's car accident, even news reports emerged about the tragedy. How the accident happened, and what Mason's condition was like inside the car. All of this leads to one conclusion: that Mason had a car accident due to exhaustion.Kalix sat in his office and listened as the system told the complete story of what Mason did before the accident."The accident was not entirely because Mason was tired, but because of his worry and tension," that's how the system expressed it before saying more.The night before, Mason could not sleep because he was thinking about the press conference he had to do regarding Jayden's actions. Of course, this caused Mason's self-esteem and pride to suffocate, he really did not want to embarrass himself by holding a press conference. Unfortunately, there was no chance for him to back down under Jayden's warning.In the morning, without a chance to rest, Mason was taken away by a new secretary hired by Jayden to
After experiencing death once, Kalix is no longer afraid of dying, but it does not mean he does not have other concerns. Currently, his mother depends on him and is the only family he has left. There's also the company still under his control, and most importantly, his lover, Eugene.Kalix feels that he can not just leave Eugene like that, especially after their relationship has been going on for several years. If he leaves Eugene, she will surely suffer greatly.Suddenly, Kalix feels that he has made the wrong decision to bind the woman to him. Not only he is ensnared in their relationship, but Eugene is too. Kalix has breathing problems, then he hears he can speak again."Don't worry too much, I will find a way to solve this problem and prevent undesirable developments.""Mm, thank you." Although Kalix's tone sounds flat, the emotions and sincerity expressed can easily be understood by the system that has been bound to him for years.Before Kalix truly feels relieved, the system add
As Kalix stepped out of the elevator, the people in the lobby greeted him politely and respectfully, to which Kalix responded with a brief nod. His expression remained unchanged, showing neither arrogance nor superiority.Accompanied by his secretary, he entered the lounge, and as he did, the person who was seated there rose to greet him."Hello, Mr. Kalix."Kalix looked at the unfamiliar man. He did not know who he was, not Jasper or Jayden as he had briefly thought moments ago, nor any member of the Dominic family he was familiar with. Nevertheless, Kalix maintained his courtesy, nodding briefly and inviting the man to sit back down.While the secretary prepared two cups of coffee, Kalix and the stranger engaged in conversation."May I know who you are, sir, and what your connection is to the Dominic family?" Kalix asked directly, without beating around the bush.The man did not mind Kalix's straightforwardness, in fact, he appreciated it. So, he responded clearly."I'm Mark, someon
