"How was it? Did you manage to get close to Charles?" Dominic asked. His face did not look directly at the interlocutor because he was staring at the street scene in front of his company through the window from the 20th floor. Even without looking directly, Dominic could feel the nervousness and worry felt by the other person. "Are you deaf?" Dominic repeated his question. "I'm sorry, Babe. So far, I have not been able to get close to Charles because he keeps his distance from me. He does not even hesitate to use harsh words." Isabella explained in detail what she had done and what kind of response she had received. "Do you think such old-fashioned ways work to attract someone's attention? Especially an ex-girlfriend who has experienced betrayal." Dominic turned around. His expression was stiff. There wasn't the slightest hint of a smile on his face as he used to do daily to cover up his cruel nature. "I don't know what to do. Based on my experience when dating Charles, he is a ma
"Dad," Isabella called out to her father, who was busy checking something on his laptop. "Yes? What's wrong, My love?" Jonah stopped what he was doing and gave his full attention to his daughter. "There's one thing I still don't understand about the plan Dad has drawn up." "Tell me what's bothering you, My Love. Dad will explain everything to you." Jonah got up, walked over to his daughter, then sat down and regretted the remaining tea that Isabella had not had time to finish. "Dad, can't your habit of eating leftovers from me change? I don't like seeing it." Isabella pursed her lips, her eyes narrowed, which showed that she disliked Jonah's habit, which she found very disgusting. "Hahaha. You don't need to give me such a disgusted look. I love doing this because every time I drink or eat a little of your food and drink, I feel like your mother is near me." Isabella's eyes suddenly glazed over after hearing the explanation from her father. Today is not the first time she has hea
Many things happened, making Charles' brain feel like it was about to explode. He, who used to live now, has to think of many tricks to make Duke's company more advanced. Not yet revealed the reason for Dominic approaching him, now he must be faced with the problem of Daniel trying to do something to him to help his brother Andrew. Although his best friend is honest, it does not rule out the possibility that Daniel will still carry out the plan for his sister's safety. "I think I should meet Andrew first. He must not interfere with my best friend for the sake of his ambition to find the reason behind Deon's death. If he manages to find evidence about his son's death, then Damian's position will become insecure and the plan to destroy Dominic will not go smoothly. If Damian is not seen in the CCTV footage, then I will definitely give him the footage without even asking." Charles made up his mind. For Daniel's problem, he could ask his best friend to be patient first. He would help D
Charles was still waiting in his office until 9 pm. He deliberately did not return to the apartment because he was trying to avoid Daniel. He couldn't help it if Daniel found out he had nothing to do and was staying at the apartment. Daniel would think he had so much work that he couldn't have fun together tonight if he were at the office. "Why isn't Rose here yet? Did she have any trouble getting here? She said she'd be here by noon, but it's already 9pm and she hasn't come yet, and she hasn't even given me any news." Charles was talking to himself. He walked back and forth in front of his desk. Until now, he had not replied to Daniel's message because he did not want to make the wrong decision. He wanted to wait for Rose before deciding whether he should meet with Daniel. However, what he was experiencing was not what he had imagined. Daniel had been calling him since this afternoon, which bothered him greatly. Half an hour passed, and there was still no news about Rose. His c
Daniel looked at the unconscious Charles and the document he was holding. His eyes implied immense regret. "I'm sorry, Charles. I have to do this because my sister is in danger. Jonah will not let my sister go if I fail again. I think, when you wake up, you will be very disappointed to have a friend like me. I'm sorry. I hope you'll find a better friend than me in the future." With tears in his eyes, as he mourned the friendship that would be destroyed, Daniel began to organize the documents that had received Charles' fingerprints. It was the only thing he could do because getting a signature directly from his best friend was impossible. If he forced himself to do that, Charles would be suspicious and return to ask questions and learn about what happened. Daniel prepared to leave after everything was done, including correcting Charles' position, who was drooping on the sofa. He walked towards the apartment door with quick steps and had to meet Jonah as soon as possible so his sister
Charles woke up from his stupor. He looked around and was grateful to see that he was still in the apartment. He exited the sofa and walked to his room to clean himself up. While in the room and preparing to shower, Charles gasped as he remembered what had happened before he passed out. He remembered that Daniel had done something, and his adrenaline spiked when he saw a bit of ink on his finger. "What did Daniel do?" Charles didn't go into the bathroom. He ran to the sofa, the last place he remembered before he passed out. Upon arrival, Charles was surprised to see Rose tidying up his living room, including throwing away the pizza and soft drinks Daniel had brought in last night. "Rose? Are you here? Why didn't you come to see me yesterday? Daniel! You were right about him. He did something to me yesterday, Rose!" Charles explained excitedly. "I know, Mr. Charles." Charles' eyes rounded. "You know? How?" He answered in a low voice but still audible to Rose. "When I got the evi
Damian came to Dominic's house on the weekend. He wanted to provide information on Isabella's recent change of attitude. "Mr. Dominic, this file contains information about the activities carried out by Isabella in recent days. It also contains some of the most probable reasons for your beloved's change of attitude." Damian placed the document in his hand on the table."I don't have time to read the document, Damian. Just tell me what it says." Dominic replied. His gaze was still focused on the laptop screen displaying the stock profits of Browzka's company. "Yes, Sir." Damian took the document back and read it. "Based on my research, in recent days Isabella has been going to a house owned by a 45-year-old man. The man's identity is a closely guarded secret, but I was able to take a photo of the man and upon investigation, his name is Jonah Duke." Dominic stopped what he was doing. "Jonah Duke? Is he related to Charles?" Damian nodded. "Yes, Sir. Jonah Duke is the younger brother o
Isabella hummed in her apartment. Today, she will go to see Dominic to break their relationship. Although the money Dominic gave was quite large, the task her boyfriend gave was also not playful. So, instead of taking the trouble to approach Charles and accepting the harsh words thrown by her ex-boyfriend, it was better for her to break up with Dominic and return to her father. Jonah was a very good father to her. Isabella knew that Jonah would not be that kind to anyone else. Therefore, she felt honored to be pampered by her father. While she was busy getting dressed, her cell phone rang. Isabella peeked at the notification screen and deliberately answered it when she saw Jonah's name listed as the person calling her. "Hello? What's up, Dad?" Isabella asked. "Have you broken up with Dominic yet?" "Today, I will come to his company to break off our relationship. Dad, take it easy, don't worry too much." Isabella chuckled for a moment. She felt amused when Jonah spoiled her too m
