Glenn entered his father's office, a restrained smile playing on Connor's lips. He felt proud of his young master.Meanwhile, Arthur Smith clenched his jaw, pleased with his son's success but displeased at the thought of sparing Lucas Walsh. It wasn't about the nominal amount of money but a matter of pride.However, going back on his promise would be more embarrassing, especially to his son."Do you want to do it yourself?" the father asked Glenn, offering him the option to hand the entire project back to Lucas.At least Glenn would regain his dignity in front of Lucas, turning around his son's unfavorable impression.That's what the father predicted, so it was quite surprising when Glenn shook his head, flopped onto the guest sofa, and casually said, "No, I'm tired. Father did it, so you have to fix it yourself," before propping his legs on the long sofa and falling asleep.Arthur Smith chuckled at his son's antics. "You're not going home. Your mother must be worried about you," he s
Upon reaching the ground floor, the two police officers led Glenn towards the front lobby, where a group of journalists had already gathered.The flashes from their cameras were so blinding that Glenn automatically closed his eyes and covered his face.'Have the journalists known beforehand? What's going on? Who is framing me?' Glenn wondered.Once outside, the two police officers deliberately stopped to give the journalists an opportunity to take pictures of Glenn.At that moment, from the corner of his eye, Glenn caught sight of Victor smirking in the dark side of the building. He couldn't be mistaken; he reaffirmed his vision and was certain it was Victor.Glenn believed this was Victor's doing; the man refused to accept defeat and didn't want to fall alone, so he had to take Glenn, too.After providing satisfying angles for the journalists, the two police officers then took Glenn to the police station.He was taken to the interrogation room, seated roughly with his hands handcuffe
"Have you informed Lucas, Father?" Glenn asked Arthur after he turned off the television.He fed up seeing the fake smile from the serpent.Arthur shook his head, "But I haven't canceled it either. For now, we need to make sure he doesn't depend on Evo Pharma so that he can't be exploited as they pleased," he explained.Glenn nodded in agreement."Ack! I can't trace him," Rufus grumbled from the dining table, concentrating on finding Company X, which was selling a large amount of Smith Corp shares. However, it seemed like he was having difficulties.Glenn thought for a moment, "Do you know Victor's brother? Vincent? I think, for strategic matters like this, he's the brains. Don't approach it based on Victor, but do it from his brother's perspective," Glenn suggested to Rufus.Rufus's face brightened, agreeing with Glenn's advice that renewed his enthusiasm. Earlier, he had felt desperate because Victor's habits led to a dead end.Since Victor and his brother had completely different a
"Look, what will happen if I entrust you to him, you will end up being used, then after becoming useless, you will be discarded or even worse, 'eliminated’ exactly like what his father did to me. He couldn't accept his son being rejected, so he sought revenge by taking away all my partners.""Now his reputation is in ruins; he deliberately returns all my partners, maybe hoping I would be grateful and back him up. Tsk, not a chance!" Mr Lucas grumbled while pointing at the television broadcasting news about Glenn.Hazel ignored her Dad's scolding, still concentrating on listening to Glenn's news. She was confident that Glenn wouldn't be so arrogant as to take someone’s life just to get what he wanted. In fact, that attitude was more fitting for someone else...A long sigh from Miriam was heard, and Hazel saw her mom's face trying to contain frustration while peeling an apple for her husband."Why? I don't understand why you defend a young man who is clearly wrong like this?!" Mr Luca
"Welcome back, Mr Roesli. You truly understand if the world still needs you," Victor Davis greeted with his fake wide smile.Roesli stared at Victor with his still blurry vision, immediately sensing that the young man in front of him was no better off than he was.'He can't be trusted; his tongue is forked like a snake,' Roesli thought to himself."What do you want?" he asked skeptically.If the young man in front of him was too naive to think he would welcome his 'good intentions,' then he was not worthy of being valuable in his eyes. He didn't believe in superficial things like that.For him, naivety and foolishness were one and the same."Well, the response I hoped for from you, Mr Roesli. Straight to the point, no beating around the bush, strict to business, right?" Victor, who was standing before, now walked towards the waiting chair and sat there beside Roesli's bed. Roesli's peripheral vision followed the young man's movements."Stop the small talk and get to the point; my he
"When will I get my share?" Melanie asked Victor while sipping her martini.Victor was engrossed in the files he received from Roesli and focused on his work, but Melanie was distracting him."Quiet, I told you that you'll get it if your appeal for the patent is successful.""But I need money now; raising a child is not easy, you know," Melanie replied casually, her long legs crossed as she sat with her smooth thighs exposed.‘If you knew the weight of that responsibility, at least try to be sober,’ Victor remarked, glancing disapprovingly at Melanie's third martini; he disliked seductive women like her.He wondered how Melanie managed to become a teaching assistant but eventually concluded that even Professor Agust's class wasn't immune to a man's primal instincts."How much do you need? I hope you'll disappear once you have the money," Victor sneered, grabbing a check and preparing to write the amount Melanie requested.Melanie's eyes widened impatiently as she quickly finished her
"Ahaha... You must be so desperate to accuse others, don't throw your mistakes onto others, young master," mocked Melanie with her title, as if it were part of a joke.She folded her arms across her chest and shifted in her stance."Why do you seem nervous, Melanie? Do you know why I am so confident in accusing you? Because I know I am innocent... And if you've forgotten, I was there talking to Alyssa, and she mentioned meeting someone... She even prepared her favorite chamomile tea specifically for you," Glenn said with a smirk, his sharp eyes seemingly able to read Melanie's thoughts, waiting for her to fall into his trap."You mean green tea? Well, regardless, you're wrong to accuse me," Melanie confidently rejected Glenn’s accusations.Glenn's smirk widened."Oh my... Melanie, how do you know it was green tea she served if you were never there?" Glenn cornered her.Melanie's eyes widened, reflecting her attempt to retract Glenn's statement. She didn't expect that Glenn did it inte
"The murder suspect in the late Mrs Alyssa Hover's case is Melanie Rigis, who has been found to have forged her marriage certificate with Agust Hover. It turns out their child is also not biologically related to the late Mr Agust Hover.Therefore, the patent rights for the tranquillizer drug Soulcatcher remain with Alyssa Hover, who granted mass production permission to Smith Corp based on the last signed letter by the late Alyssa Hover as the legitimate and sole heir of the drug.Meanwhile, the murder suspect, Melanie Rigis, is missing and being sought by the police. Residents who encounter a woman with the following characteristics should report it to the police."The news report echoed, and the television screen displayed a full portrait of Melanie. Glenn turned off the TV with the remote and took a relieved breath. His instincts told him that Victor had taken care of Melanie, but he didn't have enough evidence to accuse the snake-like man.For now, he was satisfied with the prog
