Elizabeth adjusted the mask she wore, remembering the hat she wore so that no one could recognize her out there.Elizabeth peeked behind the curtains with slow steps, ensuring no one was watching her."Looks like it's safe," Elizabeth muttered.She checked the neighborhood once more, then exited her house after the taxi she had ordered had arrived."To Cambodia Street, sir. Black Swan Cafe." Elizabeth mentioned her destination, to which the taxi driver nodded.The taxi started moving from slow to medium speed. There was no need to wait long. About 30 minutes into the trip, Elizabeth sat in one of the cafe chairs."Why is he taking so long? Did he make me wait on purpose?" Elizabeth snorted in annoyance. She glanced at the watch she was wearing, it was already 15 minutes past the promised time, but the person she was waiting for had yet to show up."CK, five more minutes, that man doesn't come. I'd better go." Elizabeth cursed the man who deliberately made her wait.One of the things E
Rose observed Elizabeth's every move, from her anger at a man who looked like a bodyguard to her departure to the VIP room to her exit an hour later."Who exactly did Elizabeth want to meet? She looks very suspicious." Rose muttered. She was still watching from a distance, and she sharpened her vision even more when she saw Elizabeth walking out of the cafe and getting back into the taxi.Rose, who saw that, immediately followed the taxi carrying Elizabeth. "Is she not going anywhere after this?" she said after seeing the cab heading towards the woman's house.After Elizabeth returned to her house, Rose stayed nearby. She didn't want to lose any information, especially after she saw with her own eyes when she met someone who must have power because there was no way the person Elizabeth met was just ordinary. Rose could conclude this by seeing the bodyguard who had led Elizabeth into the VIP room.For a long time, Rose was there. She kept watching the house, which had not seen any acti
Charles really couldn't believe his vision right now. He didn't understand what was going on."Didn't Ken have a relationship with Xaviera? Then, why is he hugging Elizabeth? Do the two of them have a special relationship? But how could this happen?"Charles shook his head several times, trying to get rid of the image of the two figures he saw in the photo. "One moment." He picked up the cell phone that had just fallen onto the table. The picture he had just seen was enough to make his hand tremble to the point of being unable to keep the phone in his hand."In this photo, Ken looks very young. I see. It looks like the woman in this photo was Xaviera before she changed her face. I'm sure. Yes, I'm sure." Charles spoke to himself. He decided that what he saw was Xaviera, not Elizabeth.This time, Charles focused again on another photo of his father and mother and the figure of a boy who looked very similar to his father."So, he's my older brother? Does that mean Elizabeth's words are t
"Seriously, sir? Is it possible that Ken has a relationship with Elizabeth? Didn't that guy have a special relationship with Xaviera too? Is he dating those two sisters?" For the first time, Will showed a shocked expression in front of his boss."That's what confused me, Will. At first, I was sure that the one in the photo was Xaviera, and the photo was taken when they were both very young. But how could Xaviera accuse Elizabeth of flirting and even trying to snatch her lover if the photo's contents were a lie?"As Charles and Will discussed the possibility of the woman in the photo, whether it was Xaviera or Elizabeth, Charles' cell phone suddenly rang.As he stared at his phone screen, Rose's name was displayed."Why?" Charles asked Rose after answering the incoming call from his bodyguard."What?!" Charles gasped in shock. He glanced at Will and then asked Rose to continue his surveillance.After disconnecting the call, Will immediately asked, "Why, Boss? Did Rose report anything i
"You're right, Charl. No one knows where your brother is right now. On that bloody night, your mother and father shared the task of saving you both. Your father was in charge of getting you as far away as possible because your mother was sure that the mobsters would find you and hurt you so that your father would give himself up." Michael sighed, his eyes darting far and wide as he recalled the testimonies of several people who had witnessed the incident."Your father took you away from the hospital while your older brother was with my mother, who had just given birth. Since your older brother was already around two or three years old at the time, he could comply with his mother's request to hide in a place where the hospital nurses used to bring the sheets and blankets requested by your mother.""Since your parents are special patients who have more access than VVIP patients, the hospital nurses will serve your mother very well and grant her requests as long as they do not hurt her.
A week later, Charles began to carry out his plan. He paid several trusted gossip accounts with many followers on various social media platforms so that the news could be seen and go viral to make Xaviera even more embarrassed.Some of the news that Charles wants to spread is closely related to Ken and Xaviera's relationship. He wants them to feel even more embarrassed and not dare to meet anyone anymore."After this, they will be confused and busy to clarify the news about the scandal that has spread widely. If I stay silent any longer and wait for the first rumors to spread, I'm sure the news will soon sink and not be talked about once new, more exciting news comes out. So, I have to make this news go viral and be seen by many people."Charles sent some messages and evidence of Ken and Xaviera's closeness. In addition, several other photos can make people conclude the extent of their relationship."Yes, I just need to wait for the results. I must prepare snacks and cold drinks to we
Ken gulped harshly, trying to find the most appropriate reason for his father to forgive Xaviera and not kill her."Don't kill Xaviera, Dad. If you kill her, then the revenge plan for the Duke family will be ruined." Ken said quickly. He immediately told the reason that came to his mind without thinking twice."Ruined? The Duke family will be grateful to us because the daughter-in-law who tarnished the family name is dead and won't make any more trouble." Sebastian refuted Ken's words."But Dad-""Why? Do you still love that woman? Yes? Didn't you ever think that this widespread scandal between the two of you would jeopardize not only your lives? But also the entire organization? What if the organization's enemies take advantage of this situation to attack the organization?" Sebastian said in an annoyed tone. He didn't like being argued with, and Ken knew it.During his years of cohabitation with Ken, after the man was dishonorably removed from the Duke's family roster, Sebastian had
Xaviera hurriedly left there. Luckily, her car was parked far enough away and hidden enough that the reporters couldn't find it.After returning to her home, Xaviera began to think about what steps she should take to dampen the news about the scandal."It looks like I'll have to hold a press conference. If I keep quiet, then it's certain that the news will get out of control, and the reporters might even make up more fake news so that people will like and be curious about the news they're spreading."Xaviera picked up her cell phone, she called one of the most famous and highly rated television stations. She made an appointment and asked to make a special program so that she could clarify the news that was out there. With the power she had, the station couldn't refuse."One problem has been solved. Now, it's just a matter of solving the other problem, which is that ignorant nephew." Xaviera lay down her tired body, she began to close her eyes while planning what she should do tomorrow
