“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

Two hours later, the event was over. Reid and Amanda left to go home. But when they got to the side of the car they were going to ride in, Amanda suddenly said, "Reid, there's something I want to talk to you about."“It's too late to discuss the project plan you proposed earlier. How about we go to the office tomorrow?" Reid replied. The man walked to the passenger door and opened it for Amanda. Even though he is Amanda's boss, he still acts like a gentleman.“It's not about the project. Besides, it's still in the form of a rough idea, I haven't copied it into report form yet," replied Amanda. She remained standing outside, not getting into the car even though Reid had already opened the door for her."Then what problem do you want to talk about?" Reid asked, furrowing his eyebrows.Instead of answering, Amanda stuttered. Her face even turned red, even though Reid was sure Amanda didn't drink any wine at all."N-nothing important," Amanda stammered."Then how about we talk about it to

Amanda screamed as one of Reid's bodyguards was shot straight in the chest. The bodyguard immediately collapsed as blood flowed freely from his shirt."Take cover in the car," said Reid, grabbing Amanda's arm and then pushing the woman into his car.Amanda widened her eyes when she saw Reid, instead of taking cover in the car, but instead turning around to leave. Amanda hurriedly held Reid's arm."Where are you going?" Amanda asked frantically.“I have to fight them,” Reid said.“Reid, don't. Let your guards do that. Don't risk your life," said Amanda.But Reid shook his head.Reid removed Amanda's hand from his arm, he bent down and put his arm around her shoulder. With sharp eyes, Reid looked at Amanda."Stay hidden here, don't come out," said Reid in a demanding tone.At the same time, another gunshot was heard.Reid clenched his jaw. "But if the situation starts to get out of control, you must leave this place immediately." Reid handed his car keys into Amanda's hands. After that,

Amanda's body trembled even more when their figures appeared from behind the attackers' car. Apparently they decided to come out of their hiding place.With only Reid left holding a weapon, what else do they have to fear?The number of enemies, which was originally 15 people, decreased a lot until there were only 6 people left. It had already been reduced by half due to resistance from Reid and his guards. Even so, their number is certainly still large compared to Reid and Amanda, who are alone.“Boss said that we must not allow your death to happen quickly. You have to feel extreme pain," said one of the criminals.Reid snorted. "Then, is your boss Raynold Clark?""You do not need to know!" snapped the villain. He raised his gun and pointed it at Reid. Likewise with his four colleagues.Five gun muzzles were aimed at Reid, while the remaining one was aimed at Amanda's head.Even so, Reid didn't seem afraid at all. Or even though he feels afraid, he covers it up well."Whatever. But t

Reid widened his eyes when he saw Amanda's body fall to the ground.“Amanda!” he exclaimed. Reid immediately ran towards the woman. He turned her over and placed her on his lap. Reid's hands were suddenly wet with blood seeping from Amanda's back. The red color on her silver dress looked very striking.“Reid, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you to this place," Amanda said haltingly.Reid ignored Amanda's words and chose to take off his jacket, draping the cloth around Amanda's back, hoping to stop the flow of blood there."It's useless, Reid, I know I won't survive," Amanda said again with difficulty.“Stop talking nonsense. You will be safe. You're the strongest woman I've ever known, so don't give up now," said Reid in a scolding tone at Amanda.Amanda smiled weakly. “You know I never talk nonsense. I know I can't survive tonight.”Reid shook his head. “Hang in there. Soon reinforcements will come. I'll take you to see the best doctor," Reid said like a promise. His hand held Am
