"Why is that? I'm sure he's not as great as you say," Glenn expressed with a snort, thinking that Connor was just exaggerating.

"Based on our investigation, secretly, Roesli has been gathering power, and the amount of small businesses he runs have enabled him to have a large following, young master, even surpassing Mr Esteban in the past," explained Connor seriously.

Glenn furrowed his brow, "If he doesn't love his wife, why to bother holding on? I would gladly relieve him of that burden," Glenn said, becoming serious.

He felt that if he wasn't secretly pursuing her, why should it be made into a big issue? After all, the man didn't seem to care, right? How badly he treated his wife was proof of that.

"No one likes their business interfered with, young master. Especially someone like Mr Roesli, he would consider it a demeaning on his dignity," Connor replied, equally serious.

The old man didn't want his young master involved in the matter; he understood that Glenn wasn't wise yet due t

    With a cluttered mind, Amber searched for the land deed throughout the house, in places her aunt might have kept it, even damaging the wooden floor with a large hammer. A message on her phone brought her to attention, a message from Jason with an impatient tone."Where are you? He's not someone you can underestimate, Amber. Come here immediately!"Reading the message, Amber bit her lip, sweat streaming down her forehead, and she had no other idea where her aunt might have kept it.She nudged her aunt's lifeless body with the tip of her shoe, "Hey, Dolores, where did you keep the land deed?! Wake up and tell me right now!" Amber snapped as if she had lost her sanity.Of course, she received no response.*Ding*A new message came in, still from Jason."Bitch, where are you?!

    Amber's eyes widened upon hearing Mr Roesli's offer to her boyfriend, but she was sure Jason would flatly reject the offer. After all, he was her boyfriend—there was no way he would agree to that crazy man's request, right?However, her hope crumbled instantly when Jason casually accepted Mr Roesli's proposal. Jason shook the man's hand right in front of her eyes. Of course, she couldn't accept this!Protesting, Amber pushed Jason's shoulder, but he paid no attention. His gaze was fixed on Mr Roesli, and his attitude made Amber feel like she was being treated like a commodity, which only fueled her anger.Jason didn't ask for her opinion at all and arrogantly decided his fate for her.

    "Hmph!""Hmmph!!" shouted Amber at Nareen, who straightened her body and wore a blank expression.The woman stared at Amber with an unreadable, flat expression. Amber caught a glimpse of some bruises on the woman's side, and even her forehead bore fresh bruises.It reminded her of a broken doll.The sound of footsteps echoed, and Nareen stepped aside, giving way. She intended to leave the room to give them privacy, but Roesli held her shoulder.The man had changed into a shiny black bathrobe, was bare-chested, and was only wearing underwear. His arrogant demeanor disgusted Amber even more."Where are you going?" Roesli asked Nareen, who looked down."I apologize, my husband. I thought you wouldn't want to be bothered with my presence," Nareen replied politely.Amber felt disgusted hearing it; the couple was truly bizarre! Disgusting, in her opinion."Watch, maybe this can arouse your passion, you useless asexual woman. It's a shame I brought a defective woman like you," Roesli insulte

    The commotion erupted in Smith's mansion that afternoon, with angry shouts and arguments heard from a group of people outside.Glenn, who initially thought it was the servants joking around, focused his ears to listen, sensing that there was something different from their usual tone.Indeed, it was the sound of angry shouts that turned into cries of pain. Glenn stood up from his seat in the office and headed towards the front lobby, where the disturbance had occurred.Some outsiders had pushed their way in, almost into the house, and the houseguards were trying to fend them off but seemed unable to do so.Soon enough, both his Father and Mother arrived, along with Connor. They came with worried expressions. Glenn concluded that even his parents didn't expect to receive such commotion.The female servants hid behind Ms Eugene, who stood firm, staring at the fierce-looking men.

    “N-no! He's making it up,” Jason protested, pointing accusingly towards Glenn. He still stood firm in his accusation against Glenn.However, the situation had taken a turn, and Jason failed to realize that it was no longer in his favor. He had been wrong from the start when he tried to show off in front of Roesli by accusing Smith's family.Meanwhile, Glenn couldn't help but wonder how far Amber had fallen to get involved with someone like Roesli. And... was she with Nareen? Were they attempting to murder Roesli?In Glenn's mind, he felt relieved that Nareen had managed to fight that bastard back. That was the kind of response he had hoped for from her.“Roesli, this is not a wise move from you. You come and disrupt my residence just because of whispers from that young man? Is he your trusted informant?” Arthur inquired with his superior tone.Roesli's jaw clenched. “You're right, Arthur. I acted recklessly. I will handle this matter; forgive us for the commotion I caused. But I do ho

    "Get out!" shouted Ms Eugene, losing control.The servants were surprised to witness the emotional shift in Ms. Eugene, who was usually rigid and expressionless. They gathered to see the source of Ms Eugene's change in demeanor. What could make Ms. Eugene so furious?A gasp emanated from them as they saw Amber and another woman in the underground storage room of the Smith residence.This was the woman Mr. Roesli was looking for! Oh, this would be a calamity! The two women were unaware of the chaos they would cause if Roesli's followers found out they were here.The Smith family was in danger. That was the first thought that crossed their minds as they saw the two women seeking refuge here.Amber shook her head, rejecting Eugene's command. Not then, not now; she remained a foolish woman who didn't know her place. Eugene dragged her out, and the servants observed them from head to toe.Their conditions indeed seemed pitiful; they looked tired and hungry. But it was the consequence of th

    The night has arrived. Driving one of the SUVs in his garage, Glenn departs from the Smith mansion. He speeds away, the windows of his car tinted dark.As he navigates the tree-lined streets, a car suddenly emerges from the foliage, following closely behind."Chase him!" commands Roesli from the back seat. Behind him, two other cars follow suit at the same speed. The convoy races down the quiet, lengthy road.Suddenly, Glenn's car is rear-ended, jolting him, and his forehead collides with the steering wheel."What the hell?!" he protests while groaning.In the rearview mirror, he sees three cars tailing him, the faces inside are all too familiar— the same people who visited his mansion earlier in the evening.Frustrated, Glenn mutters, "Damn, they haven't left yet."Realizing that these individuals have no intention of a peaceful conversation, Glenn accelerates abruptly, leaving them behind as quickly as possible."Bastard!

    Glenn watched the convoy of Roesli's cars and his henchmen leave. After he felt they were far enough, he took out his phone and called his mother. Irina promptly answered Glenn's call, the sound of an engine in the background indicating she was still on the move."Can you talk while driving, Mother? If not, I'll contact you later when you've arrived," Glenn suggested."No problem, just go ahead. I'm using hands-free," replied his mother. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern."I'm fine, Mother. But as I suspected, there's a spy in Roesli's mansion, someone cunning enough to betray us," Glenn revealed.Irina's frustrated sigh was audible. "I guess being kind is never enough, huh?" she muttered more to herself. "Anyway, Roesli intentionally wants to declare war, Mother," Glenn explained."I know, it's truly regrettable. Your father was too kind to him, not realizing he was helping a snake. Even Esteban, who raised him, could be betrayed. Ah, well, that's also why I accepted Arthur back
