"Look, Victor is already in action," Rufus pointed to his laptop screen. Glenn headed to the chirping bird social media platform that Victor often used to incite with his invalid information. This time, Glenn and Rufus fell silent, reading the uploaded copy of the document that looked authentic with furrowed brows and seriousness. After a silence that lasted for ten minutes, Glenn finally spoke up. "Is this valid?!" he asked Rufus, tilting his head and looking at Rufus, who was still sitting on the living room sofa. Rufus was equally surprised as Glenn, "Woah... Wait, I can't answer that, I need to ask Dad first. I've never seen this document before, but I think it's probably because the matter has been settled. Hmm... Whatever it is, I need to meet Dad first," Rufus excused himself. Appearing hurried, he stood up and packed his things, "I told you to just go straight to confront that snake's backside," Rufus complained irritably to Glenn. "There will be a time... If I follow yo

"Dad, look at what's going viral today," Hazel greeted her dad as she approached him, who had just been brought home and gathered with Miriam.Everything felt normal, and Mr Lucas had never been happier with the normalcy. Now, he looked at Hazel and Miriam with a fresh perspective. Normalcy was a blessing, and he didn't want to exchange it for baseless hatred anymore.Mr Lucas placed a teaspoon in his hand and paid attention to what his daughter was reporting. His eyebrows immediately furrowed as he read it, asking Hazel to hand him the tablet so he could examine it more closely."Does Dad know about this?" Hazel asked curiously."Yes..." her dad replied with his eyes still fixed on the tablet screen, which surprised Hazel because earlier he had just answered casually."So... Does that mean Dad will also be implicated in that murder?" Hazel asked with concern. Learning from recent events, at least if someone were to involve her dad, the family should be prepared this time."I even fo

Everyone in the room was startled upon hearing the news."Dad, where do you think he's headed?" Hazel asked her Dad with concern.She still remembered the tense moments when she and Aunt Irina were detained and pushed out of the helicopter towards the heavily burning building.Unconsciously, Hazel rubbed her shoulders, dispelling the sudden shiver. A hand squeezed her shoulder, and she turned around, finding it to be Glenn.The shiver turned into a warm throb, making her feel comfortable and calm. Glenn's grip on her shoulder seemed to signal that she didn't need to worry because he would always be by her side to protect her."How strange... Hasn't he been paralyzed almost all over his body? How could he escape? And besides, isn't there always a police officer guarding his hospital room?" Miriam asked. The same thoughts crossed the minds of the others."He has many accomplices who can help him, Aunt," Glenn replied.Mr Lucas glanced at where Glenn's hand was, but this time, he didn't

"Glenn!" Hazel shouted in fear, and Glenn instinctively embraced her, shielding Hazel from the bullets aimed at them."Haha! How romantic... Truly entertaining," Roesli sneered.*Bang*The gunshot rang out instantly, and Glenn tightened his grip around Hazel. For a moment that felt like an eternity, Glenn waited for the piercing pain that never came."DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" someone yelled, followed by a barrage of gunshots.Glenn dragged Hazel against the wall. The atmosphere was chaotic, with bullets flying in every direction and bodies collapsing nearby.Glenn tried to see what was happening and felt relieved when he saw Benjamin arriving with his troops just in time.Roesli's henchmen fell around the room. Benjamin and his team, aiming from outside, couldn't spot Roesli, who hid with his subordinates against the wall near the entrance.He saw Mr. Lucas and Mrs. Miriam lying on the floor, still alive. Likewise, his father and mother embraced on the bed in a prone position. He took a si

Before returning to his penthouse, he checked on the condition of the people below, inquiring about their well-being. From them, Glenn learned that Roesli's men entered through the VIP elevator, somehow gaining access that the security couldn't stop.After ensuring there were no casualties, Glenn returned to his penthouse. He was met by his mother, Hazel, and both of his parents, who asked about Roesli's fate. Glenn informed them of the authorities' decision, relieving them."His sweet talk truly fooled me," Mr. Lucas lamented, exhaling tiredly."That's Dad, kind but not naive," Hazel retorted, patting her father's back."He won't stop unless we expose him publicly. Simply retaliating with tweets in the online world won't be effective. We need to find a way to defame him directly so he can never rebuild his image," Glenn suggested with a severe expression."Any ideas?" Mr. Lucas asked, intrigued by Glenn's suggestion."In two nights, we'll be hosting the Soulcatcher launch. I'm sure h

All the wealthy people in Eagertown seemed to be present tonight at the grand hall of Smith Corp. They were associates or acquaintances of Arthur, along with company executives.The theme of tonight's party was "Magical Medicine Night," where guests wore attire reflecting the mysterious nature of science. Women wore dark-themed dresses adorned with stone ornaments, while men wore formal suits with embroidered accents depicting symbols commonly known to scientists.It was Hazel's idea, of course. The grand hall was decorated accordingly, with the entire floor appearing to be above thick smoke from dry ice emanating from faux-heated beaker glasses.The ceiling was adorned with stars and other celestial objects.At the entrance, a photo booth was decorated with replicas of packaging and trademarks from Soulcatcher, and guests were invited to take pictures there.Guests who usually attended formal and stiff events certainly felt nostalgic being treated to the arcade. The line of guests wa

"Young master Smith!" someone called his name from behind in a panicked tone. It was Clad—the production manager, his face looking thoroughly puzzled.Glenn was forced to cut short the interview session at a critical moment. The journalists had already assumed that Soulcatcher wasn't a safe drug. In their minds, they had prepared dramatic headlines to lure netizens into opening their news portals.Approaching Clad, who stood near the entrance, Glenn whispered, "What's going on?"Large beads of sweat dripped from Clad's forehead as he wiped them away with the back of his hand. He seemed hesitant to inform Glenn, but given the gravity of the situation, he had no choice but to tell his event leader."Our logistics truck is missing," he said, struggling to articulate the words."WHAT?!" Glenn asked in disbelief. "How could that happen?" he asked again."The truck was supposed to arrive an hour ago. According to the warehouse staff, the truck had left but lost contact midway. The staff acc

"After knowing his mask now, I had to hold back nausea; just imagining his face makes me want to punch him," Mr Lucas muttered while his wife adjusted the bow tie on his collar.His wife gently patted Mr Lucas's arm, "You're only feeling it now; imagine us who have had to endure it for a long time, combined with your naive attitude," she teased, suppressing a laugh.Mr. Lucas rolled his eyes, "Any advice for holding back the nausea?" he asked again."Unfortunately, there is none; you must endure it however you can. Don't jeopardise our plan, Lucas Walsh," Miriam threatened, pointing her finger at her husband.Hazel laughed at her parents' antics, "You could pretend to cough so he wouldn't dare talk to you, Dad. He, who considers himself higher in status than others, will keep away from you," she suggested later.Mr. Lucas's eyes sparkled, pleased to hear his daughter's idea. But not for long, as his eyes caught the unfinished wallpaper on the wall due to the recent shooting incident.

“Where’s Glenn?” Yvonne asked as she and Victor approached Hazel, who was already sitting and waiting at the café where they had arranged to meet.“He’s taking Sean and his grandmother to Ms. Eugene’s place.”Yvonne only nodded briefly, then took a seat. Victor immediately started flipping through the menu, feeling very hungry.“They’re going to stay there? It seems Eagertown isn’t suitable for Sean,” Victor commented.Hazel sighed softly. “It might be too noisy here.”“Some people just don’t feel comfortable living in the city, Hazel. It doesn’t mean they don’t like being with you.”“I know.” Hazel only nodded wearily.Hazel felt dizzy and her stomach was uneasy, but she forced herself to meet Yvonne and Victor because she wanted to discuss the charity. Yvonne was going to provide a report on the funds that had been allocated and where they had been sent, including to Ms. Eugene’s place.However, Hazel didn’t want to talk about that at all; she just wanted to lie down in bed.“Hazel?

A week after Mason's funeral, Beatrice visited Glenn's office. According to Mason's mandate, the company acquired by Glenn would still provide Beatrice with the remaining funds. It was no small amount since Glenn had bought Mason’s company at a fair price.Beatrice had signed the documents and handed them to Glenn.

But I can’t continue our relationship,” Mason said.“You’re going back to Beatrice, aren’t you?”“No. But we’ve made peace, and I know she doesn’t want me anymore.”“Then why? Why are you going back to her?” Eleanor asked, her eyes sad. “Stay here with me.”Mason gave a faint smile, his face looking sorrowful.

If it’s better to be friends, then that’s what you should do. But if your feelings say otherwise...” Hazel began, but Irina interrupted her.“No! Don’t go back to him. I can’t imagine it.
