"Can you explain why the data was leaked?""Who are you to demand that I explain. Don't be ignorant!" snapped Demian while clenching both fists. He felt like firing a shot into this guy's mouth. So presumptuous and unaware of position. "Do you think having a small stake in B&F Corporation allows you to say what you want and give orders as you please? Of course not. The shares you all have are not much more than my own. So don't try to exert pressure just because a problem like this arises. Staying quiet and waiting is the best decision so that your lives won't be disrupted. Understand?""So you're threatening us?" asked one of the people feeling unacceptable. If they usually felt intimidated, this time they didn't. The arrogant man in front of them could not have dared to act violently because there were many journalists covering the story. So they were safe. "Why not?"Demian's gaze was fixed on the dozens of camera lenses that kept falling on him. He tilted his head, holding back h
The valley of death, let's call it. Dylan sat quietly in the car as he stared at the screen of his cell phone that was constantly on. Since five minutes ago, someone had been calling him. But Dylan had no intention of answering. It was useless."Even if you cry blood, I will not leave this country. I am prepared for all the risks that will occur," Dylan said bitterly. His gaze was sad, helpless. "Niel, you might not be as cruel as Demian. Maybe if I had asked father for help, he would have asked you to tell me where mom was. However, I don't want to make you a traitor in Demian's eyes. It's enough that I sacrifice myself for his ego, you don't!"After years of holding out hope of being considered, Dylan finally came to the decision to end it all. Secretly stealing important data from one of the family's sources of wealth, blinded by too much heartache and disappointment. His mother was being held captive somewhere. As a child, it is only natural that Dylan is determined to use all kin
Dylan and Demian stood facing each other. Their gazes were both sharp, implying no familial relationship behind it. "I didn't realize you and Niel were such traitors. It's lucky I came in time to expose your conspiracy!" Demian said without hesitation. "Don't just accuse. Niel is not a traitor!" countered Dylan. "He has nothing to do with what's going on. So don't try to hurt him or you'll be dealing directly with me!""Oh, getting defensive huh?"A faint smirk seemed to grace Demian's lips at Dylan's blatant defense of Niel. This was surprising. It was unexpected that the person he trusted the most had the heart to form an alliance with someone he considered an enemy. Fortunately, Demian hadn't let Niel go earlier. Otherwise, their rottenness would definitely not have been exposed. "Do you realize how arrogant and greedy you are? What did my mother and I do wrong? Why do you have the heart to sell them to bandits?""Whatever I want to do. This is the fruit of that snake woman's st
Demian's body stiffened strongly. Suddenly a strange feeling rushed into his mind. Big brother? This wasn't the first time Dylan had called him that, but why did it feel different now? What was wrong? Couldn't it be because he felt sorry for him? "Big brother, is it okay if I call you this?" said Dylan again asking for permission. His defenses were weakening, and he realized death had arrived. "Ever since I understood that we were brothers, I've been hoping to be allowed to call you brother. Is this too whiny for a man of my stature?"Dylan's words were full of deep sadness. Unexpectedly, a clear liquid dripped from the corner of his eye, a sign of a hidden wound. With Dylan lying on the ground and his face bruised and bloody, he expressed his sadness accompanied by soft sobs. "I've waited so long for the moment to be able to talk to you as a brother, not as an enemy or someone you consider a stranger. Brother, I'm your younger brother, right?""Nonsense, don't try to make me think!"
"Sir, please don't be stubborn. Your condition is still very weak. Stay here and let the guards do the work. Okay?""Don't get in my way. Dylan is in danger, his life is at stake. How can I just lie back and relax when my son's life is on the line?!" shouted Morgan in frustration. The IV tube in his hand had been forcibly removed, causing blood to splatter on the floor and blanket. There was no more pain, no more weakness. All that remained was fear and worry. "Get out of the way. Let me get out of here. Demian's temper is very bad. Only I can prevent him from killing Dylan. Please get out of the way!"Knock knock knock"Dad, I... gosh, what's going on here?"Rosalind, who had guessed that her father-in-law must have made a mess after hearing the news that Demian wanted to kill Dylan, decided to come to the hospital immediately. And sure enough. Arriving in this room she found that her father-in-law was throwing a tantrum and rebelling to be let go. Immediately, he played a charade. N
In a fairly dark room, there sat a silent man by the window. There was no visible expression on his face. One thing was for sure, this man was caught up in a thought. (Am I really like this because of the trauma of my mother's death? But how did Dylan know that? He wasn't even born when mom died. Am I mistaken?) Four days after his fight with Dylan, Demian hadn't shown up at home or at the company. His heart was too troubled, confused about what was really going on. Dylan's words made such an impression on him that he couldn't close his eyes for a moment. As a result, these four days Demian has transformed into a zombie who lacks blood. Drrt drrttThe cell phone on the table vibrated, but Demian remained in his position. He was ignorant. The person calling was probably Niel, so it was predictable what the man would ask. "What exactly happened to me? Why do I seem to have lost my zest for life? For days, I've been living in a dark place. How could a Demian break the discipline to w
After weathering quite a storm, the Stewart family finally got the news that excited me. Rosalind was positively pregnant. This made many people rejoice at the good news. "Finally our darling will soon have a grandchild," Katty said as she wiped away tears. She was so moved that she cried knowing that Rosalind was pregnant. "Yes, dear. I never thought that at my old and sickly age, God would still give me the opportunity to experience the joy of being a grandfather. Our family is truly blessed," Morgan said, equally moved. "Don't talk like that. It's only your physique that looks old, but you're actually still very handsome. That's why I can never move on to another heart. You're still the best that's ever stopped by my heart."Katty's answer just now made Morgan unable to help but smile. Since the incident some time ago, he decided to just forgive her. Because no matter what, the misunderstanding that happened was because she couldn't be assertive. Thinking too much about Demian's
"Mr.Demian, congratulations on Ms.Rosalind's pregnancy. Soon B&F Corporation and the Stewart family will have a successor. You are very lucky,""That's right. You are an extraordinarily lucky man. Having such a beautiful and fertile wife, the goddess of fortune is always on your side. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why you are so secretive about your relationship. It must be because you already know that Ms.Rosalind has a very good hand line, right? Hahahaha,"Compliment after compliment Demian continued to receive from his business colleagues. However, these compliments did not make him feel happy. On the contrary, Demian felt threatened when these people kept mentioning the heir. (Their words sound like mockery that I have created my own competition. This is not true. How can a baby who is only as big as a corn kernel already be hailed as an heir? Me! I am the true heir. It's also thanks to my hard work that the company is number one in the country. Cihhh!) Niel secretly watche
