On the next workday, Nick entered Kalix’s office with a troubled expression. “What did you do to Eve?” Nick asked with displeasure. “Nothing,” Kalix glanced at him briefly and returned focus to his computer. A long sigh escaped Nick. “She came to me complaining and crying. It’s very disturbing, you know.” “Oh, really?” Kalix asked indifferently, as if he already knew. Nick didn’t respond, forcing his composure. Once again, he asked a question he had posed several times before, “So, when will your plan be executed? Honestly, I’m tired of dealing with that girl.” Kalix looked up, momentarily forgetting his work. He said seriously, “Wait for them to make the first move, this is related to them.” “Ah, so if they do nothing, you won’t do anything to them?” “I will still do it. Even just having malicious intent is already a crime.” No more words were exchanged between them, each lost in their own thoughts. About a week later, after Kalix coerced Eve into signing a loan receipt, Ni
With a bad mood, Chloe entered the restaurant. Her anger couldn't be hidden anymore. Scanning the surroundings, her gaze fixed on the back of a man in a black suit. Chloe approached the man, skillfully avoiding people in her way. She grabbed his collar, turned him around, and directed a punch at his handsome face. "Oliver, damn your ancestors! You fired me without clear reasons. Don't you remember I stood by you from scratch? I'll kick your butt!" Her eyes, red with sadness, anger, and disappointment, wanted to brutally hit him and make him realize his foolishness. She was determined to make him suffer! Kalix was stunned, reflexively raising his height to retaliate against the sudden attacker. However, he halted upon hearing a woman's voice. Restaurant staff and security rushed toward them, one of them tried to pull Chloe away but was stopped by Kalix's gaze. His internal system warned him not to offend her feelings. Kalix cleared his mind, gently holding the woman's arms behind
“Are you daydreaming?” Kalix’s question sounded sharp and uncompromising.However, it actually made Chloe feel relieved. She took a deep breath, her mind calm. Offering her sweet smile, she replied, “I’m not dreaming. Such questions are just to make sure.”There was a crease on Kalix’s forehead, but his eyes focused on her were clearly serious.With embarrassment, Chloe explained her intention and reason for asking that embarrassing question.“I was actually considering working in your company, that’s why I asked to ensure I could work honestly.”Kalix’s expression remained flat, but his eyes hinted at a slight displeasure. He wondered if his reputation was that bad outside.Realizing she had offended Kalix, Chloe clarified, “Hey, I’m not accusing anyone of cheating or anything, just that there are some chiefs like that, right?”“I know,” Kalix replied indifferently, Chloe’s words having no impact.Shifting the conversation, Kalix entered job interview mode, asking, “What’s your best
In a previous life, the woman who trapped him was someone he didn't know. Similar to the present, he was ensnared at the company's annual party. He was drugged and taken to a private room on the upper floor.It was a new drug, after consuming it, nerves would become restless, and sexual desire would be stimulated to the limit.At that time, Kalix's heart was filled with hatred, but his body wouldn't listen. Finally, impatiently, he rushed towards the woman. She desperately rejected him, ending up with many wounds, then asked for help when she felt it was time.Unsurprisingly, his accomplices quickly called the police, who arrested him. As Kalix was taken to the police car, his clothes still in disarray, journalists from small and large stations gathered outside. He became very famous.With clear evidence, he was detained on charges of attempted rpe and drug use.Grace visited the woman and persuaded her to settle amicably, offering a sum of money that depleted her savings, and the wom
Before the blow could touch Kalix's face, it automatically stopped in front of him.Eugene grabbed Kalix's shirt collar, staring at him angrily, her voice cold as she said, "Is it because I said I refuse to celebrate the new year with you, so you went looking for that woman, huh? Is your desire so unsatisfied? If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have pretended and tried to surprise you!"Kalix held Eugene's hands and leaned in to kiss the angry pout on his lover's face.Before coming here, Eugene was already very angry. She contemplated breaking Kalix's legs, taking him back to the capital, and keeping him under house arrest, tying his feet and neck with chains so he couldn't leave.It seemed like her love was slowly turning into obsession and possessive desire.However, when she faced the man, she couldn't free herself from her anger. Fortunately, she received a long message from Nick during the journey.Thinking about this, her dark eyes showed sharp pain and regret. After all,
After securing Kalix’s guarantee, Nick and several individuals involved in their plan, including Iann and Chloe, were no longer worried about the State-of-the-Art crisis. So, no matter how Carlos persecuted and pressured him, he adamantly refused to lower his price.Seeing their company’s remaining staff being hunted down, leaving State-of-the-Art with an empty shell, Nick accepted the price of 7.5 million.If a month ago, 5% of State-of-the-Art’s shares could have been sold for no less than 5 million, now it wasn’t even worth 1 million. However, before all the shareholders who eventually collaborated with Carlos could sell their shares to foreigners, SNY and OFH (Owen Financial Holdings) bought shares one by one.This made Nick very anxious, he hurriedly visited Kalix in prison to discuss, then calmly returned home and helped take care of Grace, reminding her to eat and sleep regularly.On the other hand, Timothy failed to gather 3 million, he pondered, then sold the apartment he bou
Kalix uttered a few more words to the young detective, then ran towards his mother waiting near the door.On the way home, Grace opened her mouth to speak several times but didn’t know what to say. Finally, she pretended to pat her son on the shoulder to make him feel comfortable, ‘It’s okay, there’s a cure for the illness. Don’t burden yourself psychologically too much, it’s okay to take things slowly.’“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Kalix leaned comfortably but asked the system to hack into Carlos’s computer.“Yes, medical treatment has advanced a lot now, the disease can be easily cured. If there’s no hope domestically, we can go abroad.”Kalix observed the system’s progress in his mind, copying some important documents owned by Carlos. While doing so, he replied to his mother without lifting his head, “Mom, I’m healed. That’s a medical record from a few years ago, but it didn’t touch that woman at all. I’m not guilty.”Grace stared at her son seriously and then realized the display
If there's one thing that Kalix deeply regrets from his past life, it's trusting this man, Martin. He trusted Martin to take care of his mother, even placing him within the company ranks that eventually led to bankruptcy.In this life, Kalix has kept his distance from this man, but Martin shows up on his own, disrupting his mother's life.So far, Kalix hasn't had much to do with Martin since he hasn't caused him harm, but it doesn't mean he isn't wary.Kalix takes off his coat and casually says, "New evidence has emerged, the police know I've been wronged, so they released me."Here, he recalls the issue of his 'helplessness,' then quickly uses system to search the internet. Surprisingly, no one has leaked information about his 'condition.'Although Kalix can use the system to clean up leaks on the internet, it's still a bothersome task to handle.The entertainment circle is in chaos, some will do anything to stand out.The State-of-the-Art is now in ruins. Although Kalix doesn't care
