“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
Martin's words alerted the three people in the dining room. Grace was the first to notice Snyder's arrival. She placed the dessert on the dining table and approached Snyder."You've come at the right time. Let's eat together," Grace said happily. Then, she glanced at Martin, still standing there with a puzzled expression, his smile fading."Why are you still standing there? Should I call security?" Kalix smirked. He knew his mother wouldn't be harsh in ejecting Martin, not due to family ties, but because that's her nature.Martin snapped back to reality, nodded to Snyder, then pushed open the front door to see the black luxury car parked with a few guards. The sight reinforced his belief in Snyder's identity.What's the connection between Kalix, Grace, and Snyder Mananov? Did the Mananov family provide assistance to Kalix? Will they seek revenge against him and Carlos?Thought after thought swirled in Martin's mind. He quickly took out his phone and called Carlos.To the outside world
Kalix also underwent an interview with the same television station. However, his interview was aired a day later. This garnered much sympathy for Eve and her sister, with only a few condemning Kalix as a villain despite being innocent.Observing these comments, Kalix displayed a smile that wasn't genuine. Yet, he was too lazy to condemn the behavior of those strangers.When Kalix's interview was broadcasted, he didn't speak gently or act kindly. He revealed everything that needed to be exposed."Was that the last resort? What kind of logic is that?" Kalix showed a disgusted expression in the interview video. "Does that woman have no choice but to ruin my life? Does she have to instruct two men to assault another woman? The world has so many unfortunate people, must they all go around killing others? If so, why does society still need laws?"In the interview, Kalix spread loan receipts under the camera."When her sister fell ill, I willingly lent her money. However, since that day, she
