Five bodyguards were seen standing in front of Reid's office, while five other bodyguards stood in the lobby, just in case there were strangers or suspicious people.All this was on the initiative of Charles Brown, Reid's personal assistant.When he found out that his young master had had another accident, Charles immediately felt guilty. He shouldn't have let his young master go alone to the restaurant to meet Amanda, even if it was on Reid's own orders.Reid himself asked Charles and his other subordinates not to follow him. Reid said he felt uncomfortable if he had to bring a lot of bodyguards to a public place. Charles Brown had no other choice but to obey Reid's orders. And Charles immediately regretted it when a few hours later he got a call from Reid saying that Reid and Amanda had an accident in the park.Charles wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something untoward happened to the young master. All this is because of Mr. Jacob's will.This will was not written in the wil
“Are you sure what you heard was true?" Raynold asked again.Harry nodded quickly. “I'm very sure, dad. I myself heard that tonight Reid will be invited to dinner at the Waverly family's house, and Amanda will accompany Reid so that Reid doesn't need to bring as many bodyguards anymore," answered Harry."But if we hurt Reid tonight, that means Amanda will be hurt too. Amanda is not our target," commented Brian."You are wrong. Now Amanda has become our target too. She helps Reid too often so her presence could also be a threat to us," argued Harry.Brian narrowed his eyes, not believing his brother's words straight away."Is that true, dad?" Brian asked as he turned to look at his father. Harry also looked at his father.Raynold did not answer immediately. He thought hard about how to determine his attitude. On the one hand, he was afraid of causing trouble with the Waverly family who had many connections.But on the other hand, he is also sick of seeing his plans keep failing because
Brian and Harry looked at each other. Without needing to say anything, they both understood what had to be done.The two of them immediately grabbed the necks of fake Reid and Amanda, then cocked the gun at their heads. Making the two fake figures prisoners.“Retreat! Or I'll shoot him!” Harry exclaimed.The police ofcourse did not want to act rashly, so they withdrew according to the request of the masked perpetrator. Even though the person being held hostage was not the CEO of the real Arison company, it was impossible for the police to ignore the safety of the two civilians being held hostage.Harry smiled crookedly. However, both of them are currently wearing masks, so their identities are not yet known. As long as they can escape from this place, everything will be safe. Just planning another plan for Reid. Harry was optimistic that they could escape from this place.Damn Reid. How could Reid pull this kind of trick? How could Reid use someone else to switch roles with him and Am
Harry froze in place seeing his brother lying covered in blood.Stupid! Why did Brian have to run towards him? Why didn't Brian run away? Why did Brian let himself get shot to protect Harry?Harry wanted to swear and curse at Brian's actions right now, but he couldn't. Not a single word came out of his mouth.Harry just froze in place. Likewise, when the police approached and handcuffed his hands, Harry remained silent while still staring at Brian's lying body, which didn't move at all.That night Brian died.***"Impossible! There's no way my son is dead. This is all definitely a lie. Impossible!"Megan Clark was hysterical when she heard the news about Brian's death. Especially when she heard that Brian's death was caused by a bullet fired by the police after Brian and Harry had planned to kill Reid Arison and Amanda Waverly.“Darling, tell me this isn't true. There's no way Brian died and Harry was arrested by the police!" Megan exclaimed again, this time to her husband, Raynold.I
The tip of the knife was pressing against Elena's skin and Elena was ready to press it to draw blood. But a second before she did, suddenly Elena's cell phone which was on the kitchen counter rang.Elena wanted to ignore the call, but the screen showed her mother's name, Megan Clark.Elena closed her eyes. If she felt a great loss when Brian left, of course her mother felt an even greater loss. Moreover, Brian is the favorite child in the family. Compared to Harry, who was always causing trouble, or Elena, who was rarely at home because she went to a girls' boarding school, Brian was the most obedient and most accomplished child from childhood to adulthood.Elena couldn't imagine how her mother would feel now if she knew that her youngest daughter also wanted to join her older brother in heaven.Elena put the sharp knife in her hand on the counter, choosing to answer the call from her mother.Loud cries immediately hit Elena's eardrums. Her mother always acted overbearing, but this ti
Today, according to her promise to her mother, Elena will return to the Clark family home. Elena only packed a few things because she was determined not to stay in the house too long.She will make sure her mother's condition is fine, then after finding the right time, Elena will leave.Elena pulled a small suitcase then left in her private car.It took four hours to travel from Elena's apartment to the Clark family's house, a quite long journey but Elena didn't mind.Elena actually wished the road she was taking was longer so it would take longer to arrive.Four hours later….Elena had tried to drive as slowly as possible, but in reality she was only a few kilometers away from her house.Elena's hands felt damp with sweat and she had to wipe it repeatedly on her skirt. Even though Elena had turned on the AC, her hands were still wet. Elena realized that this was no longer a problem with air, but because of the nervousness she felt that made her hands constantly wet.TING!There was a
“Oh, Elena," said Megan when she saw her daughter. Megan immediately rushed over and hugged her daughter. Elena also hugged her mother back."Elena, Brian...," said Megan, and the middle-aged woman immediately cried loudly.Elena tried to comfort her mother by rubbing her back. "I'm sure Brian is at peace in heaven, mom," said Elena.But instead of being comforted by her daughter's words, Megan jerked her body until their embrace broke apart, then said in an angry tone, "No, Elena, your brother is not yet at peace in heaven. Until we can clear his name, he will never rest. This is all because of that bastard Reid. He's the one who caused your brother's death.""Reid?" Elena asked in an incomprehensible tone. In fact, what Elena heard was that her brother died because he was shot by the police. Elena didn't know who Reid was until he was involved in the case of her brother's death."Oh, that's right, you haven't read newspapers or watched television for a long time because you don't wa
Morning at the Arison companyThe CEO was seen standing in front of a glass wall that filled one part of the room. His gaze wandered far away towards the cars that were endlessly passing by on the highway there.“Reid.”Reid flinched then turned towards the voice calling his name. It turns out that person is Amanda Waverly."I've been calling your name for a while but you didn't answer at all," said Amanda, frowning."What's wrong, Amanda?" Reid asked, ignoring Amanda's question. He chose to move towards his work chair then opened the files that had been piling up on his desk since yesterday.Seeing Reid ignoring her, Amanda asked, "Are you still thinking about Brian?"Reid's hand, which was originally opening the files, stopped.Amanda, who realized this, sighed. “Reid, you know it's not your fault, right?”On the night of the incident, Amanda was shocked when she was told that Brian had died because he was shot by the police. Amanda did not expect that the two Clark brothers were ev
