“W-WHAT ARE you saying?” asked Charles, his voice slightly stammered as he stared at Wesley’s sinister expression.
“Like me, you also didn’t know what happened to your wife, right?” Wesley asked as his voice went dangerously low, and his gaze darkened, too. “Well, I know what happened to her. Do you want me to tell you about it?”
“You fuc—”
Charles was about to curse Wesley for mentioning Clementine using his filthy mouth, but he wasn’t able to do that when Charles felt like there was a sudden tick on his skull.
He closed his eyes as he felt the sudden pain consuming his body gently from his head down to his chest. Charles could not understand what he was feeling either when his heart started thumpin

Only to find out that Sapphire was already waiting for them, wanting to have some tea.“I wonder how you react to that?” Sapphire asked, teasing August more. “Prove yourself to be an heir? Cliché.

DAYS AFTER the new video game was launched by the Remington Corporation with August’s lead on the market, the users couldn’t help but register as beta gamers and try the game.

“PACK YOUR things. We are going to leave this shitty house for good,” August commanded, his voice was cold and full of authority.Daphne didn't respond immediately after hearing August's words. She knew that August was just getting swayed by his rage because of what he had seen, but she never thought his husband would decide that.“But you know that we can't…” Daphne replied as her eyes widened more, not because of shock, but because she was reminding August of their goal.It was easier to investigate things when they were in the Sandoval mansion, and if they leave the place for good, it just means it will be harder for them.August and Daphne exchanged meaningful glances as the former understood what Daphne wanted to say. However, his deci

BRUCE AND August exchanged deadly glances as the air was filled with tension. Both of them were silent, and the only noise in the courtroom for now is the phone vibrating from Bruce’s pocket.“Why aren’t you answering? It may be an important call,” August commented, glancing in Bruce’s pocket for a second before he moved his gaze again to his opponent’s eyes. “Who knows if it’s Father who was going to scold you at any time?”“Fuck you.”Bruce showed August his middle finger and shot him a bloodshot gaze before he went out of the courtroom, leaving August alone inside. He almost wanted to go back as he heard August’s sardonic laughter as soon as he left.But he realized that August may be right.

“SHIT!” August muttered angrily and was shocked as he was able to jump back, hitting his back on the wall as he dodged the attempted stab at him.“August? Hello? What’s happening there?” Daphne asked on the other line as he heard August cursing, but the latter didn’t answer him immediately. August became more attentive to his surroundings as he didn’t have any idea how an attacker was able to infiltrate the Remington mansion’s high security—Or he wasn’t sure if he could even call it high because an intruder was now inside his room.“I’ll explain to you everything. I’ll call you later,” said August as he hung up the call without waiting for Daphne to reply. After that, he fixed his stance as he stared at the attacker intently. “Who are you?” he asked, his gaze moving toward the brown envelope he was holding, making him frown. “Why are you holding a confidential document?”“That’s the main reason why I’m holding this—Because it’s confidential,” the guy replied nonchalantly. “Young mas
