"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! Chase until you catch him!" orders Roesli to his subordinate
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
"Yes, ma'am, has Glenn not told you about me? It's really disappointing... He promised he would," Amber reported, her face sad with wounded eyes."Oh, maybe he has, but I didn't hear it, dear. I'm sorry," defended Irina, still looking at Amber through the rearview mirror, this time with slightly curved eyebrows due to emotion.Amber shook her head, "No, ma'am, I understand if Glenn chooses not to talk about me. He must be embarrassed because of my economic status..." There was an awkward pause as Amber seemed uncomfortable discussing it with Irina."Oh, of course not, dear... We never have an issue with that at all, and Glenn already knows that I don't like him judging people based on superficial things like that," Irina reassured Amber.'Wait, didn't Glenn say this woman has a boyfriend? The man who was Roesli's confidant?' Irina thought.While driving her car, she tried to imagine again the events of the afternoon, silently contemplating whose story felt uneasy, and ultimately she d
Glenn arrived at the mansion after making sure that his mother was not followed by Roesli. Whistling, he stepped out of his car and walked in through the connecting door that linked the garage to the main house. His steps halted when he saw Arthur—his father waiting for him with folded hands behind his back, his eyes staring sharply at Glenn."Where is your mother?" he inquired immediately. "Order her to return right now," Arthur commanded firmly.Glenn tilted his body slightly to the right and saw a man standing right behind his father, like a shadow of the man himself. It was Connor."It seems father has his own whisperer," Glenn responded lightly, playing with the keys on his fingers while staring at Connor."Glenn Smith, tell me where your mother is," his father insisted once again, not wanting to be diverted."Mother is safe, father, as long as the mole in this house doesn't leak her whereabouts," Glenn replied, maintaining his casual demeanor."You're endangering your mother, an
When Auntie and her flatterers weren't watching, Euonia sneaked into Glenn's room. She knocked on Glenn's door first."Who is it?" Glenn asked because he noticed that the sound of the knock was different. It wasn't Mr. Connor or Ms. Eugene, whose knocks he could recognize."It's me, Euonia, young master."Glenn furrowed his brow upon hearing Euonia's answer. 'Is it already dinner time?' he checked the clock on the wall of the room, and it wasn't dinner time yet.Besides, he had already asked Ms. Eugene to replace the young woman because he didn't like her nosy attitude. Was Ms. Eugene not taking him seriously, or was it his niece who just liked breaking the rules?"What do you want? I've told Ms. Eugene to replace you," Glenn refused, not wanting the woman to enter.Euonia felt increasingly annoyed. 'This spoiled young master is such a coward! At least tell me to my face why you suddenly dismissed me without any reason! Such a weird and ugly young man!' Euonia muttered.Emotionally ch
Sometimes, being good is not enough; people always find a reason to hate you, no matter how straight your life path is. Currently, Glenn has asked Connor to spread false information about himself to certain individuals he suspects. He wants to know which news reaches Roesli. This way, he will identify the "mole" in his mansion.Ms. Eugene is seen heading to the kitchen, preparing some high-quality frozen meat slices into a picnic basket. She received orders to quickly prepare Glenn's necessities, as he will be staying out of town for a few days."What kind of food should I prepare?" Ms. Eugene inquired carefully. She doesn't want to serve the wrong food for her young master."Anything related to meat, and some bread," replied Connor."Alright, Mr. Connor, I'll do it right away," Ms. Eugene responded before excusing herself to the kitchen.In the connecting space between the garage and the main house without CCTV, Glenn and Connor debated about who the suspicious individuals might be,
Ms Eugene, who usually had a stiff expression, appeared shaken. Her gaze was run in all directions to avoid making eye contact with Arthur and Glenn Smith. She couldn't bring herself to face them."Why, Eugene?" Arthur asked again, still with a deep tone of disappointment.Ms Eugene struggled hard to swallow saliva. Her mouth remained tightly shut, repeatedly shaking her head, resisting the urge to answer Arthur Smith's questions, her longtime master.There was a fierce internal struggle within her. She hadn't expected to be caught, but a part of her hoped to be discovered so that she wouldn't suffer in silence for betraying them.No one had warned her how strong the trap of love could be, making her lose all sense of logic. When she felt that no man would love her and chose to dedicate her entire life to working for the Smith family, the charismatic man came, approaching her so gentlemanly.Roesli was skilled at charming her, melting the iceberg in her heart. Her days became beautifu
