"It's not my fault! Shut up all of you!" Murphy shouted with bulging eyes. Everyone in front of him instantly fell silent. He looked at the people in front of him one by one. "I didn't commit a crime. Don't just take that guy's word for it!"Murphy pointed at Shawn, but everyone in front of him didn't care. They were still glaring at Murphy because their money was now in his hands.Edgar, a businessman who owned a business on the second floor stared coldly at Murphy. "Oh yeah? Didn't you take my money for these 3 months? I haven't made any profit in the 3 months I've been in business because you've been taking the money! Stop your nonsense and give me back my money!"That remark made the other people protest to Murphy again. They all demanded with bulging eyes and anger. Murphy looked at Shawn angrily. Shawn only gave a slight smile.Murphy felt that there was no point in convincing these people that Shawn was telling lies. He swallowed and tried to look at these people. However, his
"How arrogant of you. You're just the owner of a new company." Murphy looked sarcastically at Shawn. Right now, Murphy hated it when Shawn called him a cheater. However, Shawn did not budge. He remained unchanged from his position and was still dominating this conversation.Murphy thought that he should be able to take advantage of this situation. He could already create evidence that this building had a robbery case. Murphy didn't want him to be the guilty one here and let Shawn destroy him.Murphy clucked his mouth. "Your company, I'm sure it won't last long. Your arrogance will destroy you. Soon you'll be bankrupt. Your company is weaker than these people's."Shawn looked at him coldly. He let out a long breath. Murphy's words made him think about it a little, especially since Shawn didn't know what his company would be like. However, he quickly dismissed the thought and tried to think logically again.Shawn gave a small nod. "Right, I don't know about the future of my company beca
"Shit!" Murphy almost fell over. He immediately stood up straight and looked at Shawn. They stared at each other. The more Murphy looked at Shawn, the more his anger rose. To Murphy, what happened today was because of Shawn. He was the one who had dared to unmask his crime and put him in a dangerous position like now. If Murphy didn't run away now, then Murphy would be punished by his big boss. What's more, Murphy would probably have to deal with the law.Shawn glanced at Pedro who was on the ground. "You're very rude, Murphy. Even though he's the owner of this place. I'm even more convinced that you're not a good person."Pedro immediately stood up and angrily glared at Murphy. "You bastard! Is this how you behave? Are you a gangster?"Not accepting being called a gangster, Murphy kicked Pedro away. This rude treatment took everyone in the room by surprise.Murphy had nothing else to think about, he had to get out of there somehow. He grabbed the pen that was in his pocket. Then he
"What are you doing? Why are you doing that to me?" Murphy yelled at Shawn for not accepting his treatment. His eyes bulged until they were red.While Shawn gave Murphy a cold stare and only looked down on Murphy. "I called your boss here. You're just running a branch company, right?"Murphy gasped. It turned out that Shawn had done some research on the company run by Murphy. It was true, Murphy had a boss who hired him. However, hearing that Murphy chuckled.To Murphy's knowledge, his boss liked Murphy's work so much that he handed over the branch company to him. Shawn calling his boss here meant that Shawn was digging his own grave.Murphy chuckled. "Fool... do you think you've won, asshole? An asshole like you will never win against me! You're just digging your own grave. I'll be sure to sue you and make you a deterrent--"Shawn slapped Murphy's cheek again. This time his mouth was bleeding. Suddenly Murphy was even more enraged. "You bastard! How dare you do something like that!"
"Cheers!" Shawn and his two subordinates clinked their glasses excitedly and drank the beer in one gulp. Shawn tasted the bitter sweetness of the drink and he stopped after the first sip. Meanwhile, Morris and Regis drank it all.Morris closed his eyes tightly after finishing one glass. "Wooh! I haven't had this in a long time. It warms me up!"Regis chuckled. "Remember, we're here to celebrate our business, you can't get drunk! We need to talk about our company's future plans."Morris smiled with a grimace. "Hey, buddy. Do you think I'm going to get drunk just from drinking a glass? I'm a pretty good drinker."Shawn himself did not do well with alcohol. Shawn preferred to keep his sanity, because the last time he got drunk he had to take responsibility and marry Rachel. Of course Shawn didn't want that kind of mistake to happen. So, Shawn stopped drinking after one sip and immediately put the glass on the table.The VIP room did have a cozy atmosphere, not even the sound outside coul
"This is disgusting!" The woman looked away from the man. Her face turned red and her lips pouted, implying an uncomfortable feeling towards the man's treatment.The man moved his body so that she was cornered in the corner of the room. "Seriously, Nina. Do you think it was easy to bring that guy here? He's from a big agency and it took me a lot of trouble to get him to meet you. With all this hard work on my part, do you want to make it all for nothing?"Nina shuddered with amusement. "What kind of fool would do that?"Nina hugged herself and felt how her body trembled at the thought of the horrible thing that would happen if she obeyed the man before her.The man glared. "Look at me, Nina!"Nina shook her head. "Tom, stop! I don't want to!"Tom, whose blood was rising, grabbed Nina's wrist. Then his other hand held Nina's hand so that she would look at him. "Are you going to fight? Don't you want to be famous? I've given you the path! Don't you think how hard it took me to bring tha
"What's your business? I don't know you at all and this woman doesn't know you either. Look, did this woman say anything to you? No, did she?" Tom glared at Shawn.When Shawn looked at Nina again, she looked down as if she had resigned herself to her situation and didn't want to see him. Tom himself brought his face closer to Shawn and stared intently at him. "You think I'm afraid of you, huh? Mind your own business! What I do with this woman is my business. Whether I sell her to another man or use her myself is up to me. You're just a stranger, you bastard!"Suddenly Shawn felt very upset by Tom's statement. The words that came out of his mouth implied that he only considered Nina as an object. Shawn couldn't contain his expression as his face began to turn bright red.[Ding!][You have a mission!][Mission: Save the girl!][Nina is in big trouble because she was framed by an irresponsible person and will be sold to spend the night with a stranger! Do what you can to save her!][Cho
"Sorry?" Nina was shocked and didn't quite understand why Shawn was saying that Nina was a good match.Shawn stood up and smiled. "You're perfect for being an idol."The compliment sounded good to Nina, but the previous situation still traumatized Nina a little, so she didn't know what expression to make when Shawn said that.Nina just smiled a little hesitantly. "Th-thank you."Shawn furrowed his brow as he smiled at Nina's hesitant reply. "I'm not lying, you're perfect. How about you audition now?"Nina was even more confused by this situation. She even misunderstood. "No, I'm not going back to Tom. You saw him trying to sell me to that agency guy. I don't want to audition in a dirty place like that!"Nina said it a little loudly because of the emotion she couldn't contain. Shawn immediately knew that she had misunderstood him. "Oh, that's not the agency I meant. If you can prove your talent, you can audition at--""Shawn, come here!" Regis immediately pulled Shawn's hand away from
