Charles decided to meet the woman who was none other than Elizabeth. Charles needed more explanation from the woman. Charles met Elizabeth to ask many questions, including asking for an explanation about his older brother who he thought was dead. He also asked who Elizabeth was in favor of. "Elizabeth, can you tell me everything? Actually I already know about you, but I just want to make sure whether the information I get is true or not.""Why are you confirming with me directly? Aren't you afraid that I might lie?""I trust you, especially after you told me the information that I have a brother." Charles said confidently.Elizabeth exhaled her breath. "Alright. I'll explain everything. Where do I start, huh?""I am Xaviera's twin sister, I am married. However, bad luck befell me because I was raped and it really traumatized me a lot. You must know the perpetrator who raped me, right?""Since the rape, I've stopped menstruating and often feel nauseous. I wasn't pregnant at the tim
Xaviera was furious. She felt like her pride was being trampled on. After Charles's treatment of her, she felt very fed up. She went by car to meet up with Ken again. She needed peace of mind and she needed him to help her get revenge on the Duke family quickly. "You'll see, Charles. You think, by dropping me from the Duke family, will make you win? I'll avenge everything after this!" Xaviera had no one here anymore. The Duke family had discarded her and that made her very ashamed. Ken was her only goal at the moment. That man also had to do his part to help her solve this problem. Moments later, she had arrived at Ken's place. Xaviera immediately banged on the door as usual to make people see her."Ken! Open the door! Hurry up or I'll break the door down!" Xaviera was disgusted at the people who saw her. The news of her being dropped from the Duke family must have spread. Especially now that she came again after the news of her scandal had already spread widely. "What's m
News of Xaviera's death was widespread. There were many opinions that led to hating the Duke's family. However, it was easy for Charles to expose it all. "Did you know that woman was going to die?" Will asked Charles who looked calm after hearing Xaviera's death. "Yes, more or less like that. After all, that woman was too arrogant to realize that she had crossed her limits a long time ago." Charles laughed after saying that. That foolish woman chose to enter the crocodile cage with full awareness. Charles had known that it would happen. Elizabeth had given him a warning and sure enough, everything happened exactly as the woman had said. "So, what should we do after this?" Rose asked again."We'll investigate Ken for Xaviera's death." "Why investigate. Isn't it obvious that Ken killed that woman?"Charles exhaled harshly. "I did all this not to help Xaviera, but to destroy Ken! Do you understand?"They both nodded their heads. "You find out the chronology of Xaviera's dea
Bad statements about Charles continued to spread. He let his men take care of it all so that he wouldn't have to follow the news anymore.Charles is now focusing on the company he is managing. He can't be caught off guard by the news that is cornering him. Ken must be thinking of ways to attack him so he must anticipate all the bad possibilities that will happen. "People's statements are increasingly cornering the Duke family, what should we do?" The report came to Charles who was thinking of ways to defend his company. "Is the news spreading to the detriment of the family or the company?" Charles asked. "No.""Then, you take care of that matter. I have to take care of the company so that it won't falter and be easily destroyed by other companies." Charles gave the order. "Rose, arrange a meeting with Elizabeth. I need to make sure that she is willing to work with me and is willing to carry out the plan that I have laid out." "What can Elizabeth do?" Rose asked, she didn't
"Has Ken's death been confirmed?" Charles asked for confirmation.Elizabeth nodded. "Of course. The man is lifeless. There's no way he can live again. Don't you take my word for it? Do I look like someone who likes to spread fake news? Besides, didn't you see for yourself that the man was dead?" Elizabeth was a little offended that Charles didn't seem to believe her words."It's not like that. I just didn't expect him to die this easily.""What is clear is that he is already dead.""Alright. I'll tell Grandpa the news. It's good news to me. Ken deserved to die."Charles went to see Michael, his grandfather. The old man was relaxing in the den smoking a cigar. The large window in the room was open so that the smoke could escape freely.Relaxing while smoking a cigar had become Michael's habit during his leisure time. There were tons of books in the reading room. Strangely enough, Michael only liked collecting those books. Of all the books in his collection, perhaps only ten percent had
Sebastian let out a short breath. He lit the end of his cigarette using the lighter, then took a deep drag, just to relax his frantic mind.There was one thing Sebastian was thinking about at the moment, and that was Ken's death. For some reason he felt something was off, but he didn't know exactly what it was. What was clear was that Ken's death made him feel uncomfortable, as if there was something he had missed."I think that's enough for me. I don't want to interfere in the Duke family's life anymore. Let them have their life, I have mine. There's no point in meddling in other people's family affairs anyway."Sebastian gave a small nod. Yes, it was better that way. He would focus on taking care of his organization. He would also live happily with Elizabeth. Sebastian thought that was probably what Elizabeth wanted from him as well.Honestly, Sebastian wanted to build a happy life with Elizabeth. He wanted her to be completely separated from the Duke's family. That's why he wanted
"Nooo!"Michael exclaimed and instantly opened his eyes.It was the same dream all over again. Michael sat up with a sweaty forehead. His eyes were glued to his blanket-covered feet. The dream seemed real, as he was on the edge of a cliff and someone was pushing him from behind."What a horrible dream," Michael whispered to himself.He vividly remembered how his body turned as he plunged and he saw the grin on the face of the person who pushed him. He couldn't see the face at all, as the sunlight refracted behind his body. But he knew it was the grin of someone who wanted to harm him."This is all a dream. Yes, it's just a dream."Michael tried to calm himself down. Honestly, dreams were like a scourge that haunted him lately.They say dreams are the flower of sleep. But is that really the case? What if we keep dreaming about it? Couldn't dreams be the clues that the subconscious gives to our lives?That's what made Michael depressed. Yes, the dream made the old man think about it all
Taking care of the organization made Sebastian forget some things. His busyness made him neglect Elizabeth a little. This was not a problem for Elizabeth. She was even happy because she didn't have to deal with Sebastian often.Unfortunately, because he was too busy, Sebastian didn't know that Elizabeth was secretly meeting with someone. That person was planning something on Sebastian, with Elizabeth as his ally."I was hoping you would be on my side. Are you willing?" the figure asked Elizabeth.Elizabeth flinched. Really, she did not expect to be in this position."Of course I'm willing. I will side with you," Elizabeth said with a smile. In her eyes, she immediately imagined how Sebastian's life would be.***That week, Sebastian deliberately did not take care of his organization. He deliberately relaxed at home in the company of Elizabeth. Yes, it had been a while since Sebastian had relaxed like this. It could be said that this was a very rare time, so Sebastian had to make the m
