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.

"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

    Andrew walked back and forth in his room. Several days had passed since Charles had come to the house and threatened him not to contact Daniel again. And sure enough, Daniel was no longer reachable. His number was never active, and it made him very frustrated. "Where are you, Daniel? Do you not care about your studies anymore? Do you think I'm just playing around with my threats?" Andrew muttered. He tried to contact Daniel again but to no avail. Let alone calls, and his messages were never even replied to. "Akh! What an asshole!" Andrew threw his cell phone on his bed. He was furious because, with Daniel gone, he couldn't get any evidence of Charles' involvement in his son's death. After walking around the room for a few minutes, Andrew finally got tired and sat on the bed. He massaged his forehead, then thought of a new plan to find the evidence so that he could put Charles, who he considered to be Deon's murderer, away."Looks like I have to keep an eye on Charles for a few day

He had just returned from the convenience store and was shocked to see Andrew at his doorstep, banging on the door. "You! Come here! I have something to ask you!"

    In his office, Charles focused on the screen that showed Damian and Andrew in Erik's room. It seemed that Erik had told Andrew everything about Deon's death. It can be seen from the gesture of the middle-aged man who looks emotional after hearing the explanation from Erik. Andrew tried to leave when his anger was overwhelming.Charles shook his head. After hearing Erik's explanation, he knew what Andrew wanted to do, but of course, he shouldn't be rash in facing Dominic. The man was not an easy opponent to eliminate, let alone eradicate.Suddenly his cell phone rang; Charles glanced at the cell phone he placed next to his laptop. It was Damian who called. Without further delay, Charles immediately received the call."We've met Erik. Uncle Andrew has found out everything. He was furious and wanted to kick the man's ass, but I quickly restrained him.

Come on, we fight together. Dad will fight to avenge that bastard and you must fight to wake up from your critical period. I'm waiting for you, my little daughter. You have to come back soon."Jonah took his daughter's hand and kissed it. He hoped she would come to her senses and tell him everything Dominic had done to her so Jonah could reciprocate. Jonah really couldn't accept that just because Isabella asked to break up, she would get this sadistic treatment.Anger raged in the father's heart. Jonah wanted to get rid of Dominic to avenge his actions and even wanted to kill him. But, of course, that couldn't be done

"Grandpa, would you like me to make you a drink?" "Yes. Would you mind making a drink for me? You can just tell the servant to make it for you." "That's fine. I don't have anything to do anyway. I just want to make you happy."Michael, who felt that Isabella was very attentive, did not have the slightest suspicion. He thought that Isabella was craving for affection because she had no one but him. "Yes. Make me some orange juice. It seems that drinking fresh juice like that, can make my day more colorful."

    "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

    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

    "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

    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
