Leo inquired about you earlier, do you know him? Mr. Javier hesitated for a moment, trying to think of a way to deflect the question without raising suspicion."I've heard of him," he finally replied, keeping his tone casual. "But I don't know him personally."“Well, I will gather evidence to file a case against him,”Leo said.Leo seemed satisfied with that answer, but Mr. Javier could tell that he was still holding back.

Perplexed, he furrowed his brow, trying to comprehend her uncharacteristic silence.Curiosity piqued, Evan inquired, his voice devoid of warmth or concern, "Is something troubling you, Marga?"After a brief pause, Marga shook her head and softly replied, "No, Sir. I'm perfectly fine."Growing impatient, Evan sighed, his tolerance waning. "If there's an issue bothering you, I need to be informed. We have a substantial workload today, and I cannot afford any distractions."Contemplating her options, Marga nervously bit her lip, aware of Evan's domineering and arrogant nature. Opting to avoid unnecessary conflict, she chose to keep her thoughts to herself."It's nothing, Sir. I'm just feeling a bit off today. There's no need to worry," Marga reassured him, forcing a smile onto her face.Evan arched an eyebrow, detecting her discomfort. "Okay. If there's nothing else, you

"And who is it? Evan? huh?" Leo snapped back, the name slipping out involuntarily.The mere mention of Andrea's ex-husband only intensified the burning fire within him. He couldn't forget how Andrea had suffered in her marriage to Evan because Evan is just poor.How he had failed to provide her with emotional and financial support.Mrs. Sanchez's eyes widened in surprise at Leo's words. She could see the anger and pain in his eyes, simmering just beneath the surface. She tried to respond, but Leo interrupted her."I am not the poor Evan.

Despite my current struggles in the company, I am still a wealthy man."However, Mrs. Sanchez couldn't shake the feeling that Leo was no longer suitable for her daughter, that he would never meet the standards she had set.

Leo’s eyes widened at what he heard from the manager.He shook his head and protested.“No, it’s impossible! How can you say that man is the owner if he is just poor as a rat! “Leo mocked.“Until now you don’t believe that I’m not a poor anymore or maybe you can’t accept the fact,” Evan chuckled.“It’s a lie! Don’t make me fool! “Leo said with anger.“Better leave now if you don’t want to see me, Leo “Evan smirked.“or Better drag him away out of this place,” Evan commanded the manager."You can’t drag me out of this place!"

This is my sanctuary, my safe haven so you better leave. You can't let him just kick me out like this," Leo pleaded, his voice

Evan’s breath caught in his throat as he recognized the lead figure—Detective Julia Marks, a close ally from his past missions. Relief flooded through him, but it was quickly replaced by caution.“Evan! Marga! Connor!” Julia called, waving her arms as she approached, her expression a mix of urgency and concern. “We need to move, now!”Evan lowered his weapon, confusion etched on his face. “What are you doing here?”“We got intel about Killian’s operations,” she explained,

The fear etched on her face reminded him of what was at stake. He felt a surge of protectiveness, a fierce need to keep her safe.“Where are we headed?” Connor called back, urgency lacing his voice.“There’s a cave system nearby,” Evan replied, recalling a map he’d memorized during their earlier missions. “It should provide some cover.”“Let’s hope it’s not too far!” Connor shouted, his breaths coming in quick bursts.They reached a rocky outcrop, and Evan

You’ve made it personal.”Marga’s grip tightened around Evan’s arm. “We need to move,” she whispered urgently, glancing over her shoulder, as if sensing Killian lurking nearby.Evan’s mind raced. They were outnumbered and trapped between Leo and the threat of Killian lurking in the shadows. “Leo, you don’t want to do this,” he said, trying to reason with him. “We can work together to take down Killian.”“Ha!
