The punch was about to land on Andrew's face when Marcel suddenly entered and stopped them."Stop!"Marcel's steps halted, and his expression completely changed as his gaze fell upon Miranda's ex-boyfriend, who was staring back at him."Marcel, is that you?" Miranda's ex-boyfriend was equally surprised to see Marcel.Of course, this raised a big question in Andrew's mind. 'How do these two know each other?'"What has happened, Mr. Adam? Why did you want to punch Mr. Andrew?""What? Mr. Andrew? You know this man?" Adam pointed towards Andrew, then squinted his eyes and spat suddenly at Andrew's face.Instantly, this fueled Andrew's anger to its peak. He had refrained from retaliating earlier, trying to neutralize the pain caused by Adam's attack."You bastard!" Andrew shouted loudly and quickly delivered a punch to Adam's head.The punch sounded loud, and Adam's head felt empty, the sound echoing as Andrew's hand hit it.Adam fell heavily, unconscious, just like what had happened to hi
Two cocktail glasses were served in front of Andrew and Miranda. They raised their glasses and clinked them together before taking a sip from the tall-legged glasses."This is the tastiest cocktail I've ever had," Miranda smiled as she gazed at her glass."Is that so? I'm glad to be the one who gives you an unforgettable experience. Right, you'll always remember the night you had the tastiest cocktail, won't you?" Andrew was skilled with his words, somehow managing to learn the art of charming women, making Miranda chuckle and blush."Well, it seems you're right. So, before I tell my story, what brought you to this resort? I mean, are you on a business trip or just here to relax?""Do you see me as a pathetic man chasing after a woman? Or as a useless and weak man?"Miranda shook her head, placing her glass on the bar table. "Of course not, why would you say that?""No, I just have trust issues with everyone who meets me. I'm always seen as a weak and helpless man. But I can't blame t
Andrew walked alone towards the room where Adam was with Marcel. As per the agreement he had made with Miranda, he would try to talk to Adam."Oh, it seems my fate is meant to be a helper. I was just daydreaming about getting a kiss, and now I have to fix the relationship of a woman I'm interested in. How ridiculous."When he arrived in front of Adam's room, Andrew accidentally overheard a conversation between Adam and Marcel."I deliberately had my mother approach one of William's associates so that I could slowly infiltrate and destroy him! Don't think he can just get away after throwing me and my mother away! I'll never forgive the slander he made against my mother and denying me as his son!"Andrew's eyes widened; Adam's words were specific and proved that Marcel's story was a fabrication.Unfortunately, in this crucial moment, Andrew's phone received a call from Erica. The ringing sound pierced through the walls and interrupted the conversation between Adam and Marcel."Shit! Why
Andrew sighed deeply, shaking his head as he pondered over each word he should say to Adam in order to make him open up about his identity. Andrew's goal was simply to listen to Adam's life with William before, hoping to find any clues that might connect to what he saw in his vision."Not all problems have to be solved with death, Adam. At least, you can establish a better connection with William. I mean, from what I heard, you're ambitious to gradually take over William's business, right? That would be much better than getting your hands dirty by killing him.""You're wrong, you can't read the situation, fool." Adam reclined back on the bed, raising one hand and smirking."Is that so? Then may I know what your actual plan is, Mr. Smart?""Because I am William's son, it's clear that all his power and wealth will eventually be mine. I can't possess it unless he's dead. Besides, there's nothing good left to consider about William. He abandoned me, cast aside my mother, disowned me, and
"You're so handsome, sir!""Sir, may I kiss you again and get this bill?"Two young women in tight, short dresses were seen sitting on William's lap. The middle-aged man looked satisfied as he directed his gaze towards their exposed and ample cleavage."Come here, give me an affectionate kiss." William embraced the heads of the two entertainers and received a kiss on his face. He then handed them a few bills. "I need to use the bathroom; we'll continue later.""Don't take too long, my lord! We'll be ready in bed!"William gave a kiss goodbye as he walked away. His face was truly flushed, having succumbed to the temptations of the women he intentionally ordered to entertain him.In the bathroom, William proudly stared at his reflection in the mirror. "I look younger; I didn't expect the effects continuously provided by Andrew to be this powerful. I thought I wouldn't be strong and great if he hadn't died."He wiped his face, which appeared tighter and younger. Then, he unbuttoned his s
Three sausages, three slices of cheese, and some vegetables were served on Andrew's plate. He appeared to be staring blankly at the food. The day had passed, but his mind was still focused on Adam's life and Marcel's lies.For some reason, Andrew felt much more unstable and sensitive now. Usually, he would set aside such things while looking for other clues. For example, Orlando, who had been missing for a long time, no longer haunted him."Andrew, can you act normal and not like a fool? What are you thinking? Last night, you agreed to stay calm, and besides, I will go back home and follow your orders to retrieve the jewelry box!" Erica rolled her eyes at him and sighed deeply. It was so heavy that Erica almost felt suffocated when the CO2 left Andrew's nose."My mind is full, and I don't know how to stop it. I don't want to be like this either.""Mr. Andrew."The conversation halted when Marcel, who was sitting near the restaurant door, approached them. As Andrew turned, Marcel was a
"It's so delightful to live like this. Have you ever imagined that we would sit at one of the most luxurious resorts and sunbathe like people who have never experienced any hardships in life?"Erica sipped a glass of mango juice at a small table beside her. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Andrew, who seemed to be enjoying the beach air this afternoon."Just enjoy it and keep quiet, Erica. I'm trying to concentrate so I can sleep, and you're disturbing me with your chatter."Erica grinned, lowering her sunglasses and looking to Andrew's right. "It seems you're not destined to rest peacefully.""What do you mean?" Andrew turned to his younger sister."Mr. Andrew."Erica's smile widened as Marcel's voice joined the conversation. Andrew let out a long sigh and took off his sunglasses, looking at Marcel intently. "No wonder Erica said I wouldn't be able to rest peacefully. What do you want to talk about, Marcel? I thought on the last day, I could relax without hearing anything from you."
At seven in the morning, Andrew and Erica were ready with their suitcases in front of the resort, waiting for Marcel to arrive with the car that would take them back to William's luxurious mansion."I've arranged a car for you to go back to the village, remember to say that you're visiting your friend. Okay? Don't let them know you're returning to our house." Andrew stared sharply at his sister."Yes, Andrew, you've mentioned it repeatedly. I get it, calm down!" Erica retorted.The sound of the car horn signaled Marcel's arrival, and he quickly got out of the car to help Andrew and Erica with their belongings.After Marcel got back into the car and they started driving, he turned to Andrew and Erica. "Mr. Andrew and Miss Erica, I hope once we arrive home, Miss Erica's belongings can be packed up right away. We'll be leaving later in the afternoon, so before that, Miss Erica should already have left the mansion.""Don't worry, Marcel. I've arranged a car to take her away. And she doesn
