After the ceremony of Charles' appointment as the leader of the Duke's family in place of Michael, Dominic was surprised by the display of photographs shown by Charles. Dominic had not expected Charles to be so bold as to display Isabella's photographs in front of the guests. To embarrass Jonah.

Not only that, Dominic, who at that time came to Charles' appointment was very surprised to find out that Isabella was Jonah's daughter, not Jonah's girlfriend.

"So, Isabella is Jonah's daughter, not his girlfriend. Damn! If I knew Isabella was Jonah's daughter, I shouldn't have beaten her up then," said Dominic, who still remembers the events of that night. The photos Charles showed were clearly of his girlfriend Isabella too.

He slightly regretted his actions when beating Isabella, "If I knew Isabella was Jonah's daughter, maybe I wouldn't have dared to beat her that time." But a second later, he didn't regret anything because evil women like Isabella deserved to be treated as animals. "B

    Michael did not refuse or accept Charles' request. He stood up from his seat and left his grandson there alone. From the expression on his grandfather's face, Charles knew that his grandfather's words when asking him to do anything to stop Jonah, his uncle, were lies. His grandfather still couldn't let his only living son give up the Duke family name even though Jonah had tried to kill him, and his uncle had done it all in front of his grandfather's eyes. "If Grandpa knew that Uncle Jonah was directly related to father's death, would Grandpa still defend him?" Charles muttered sadly.

Now, he was officially leading the central company in Washington. In Washington, he tried to clear his mind.

    Dominic tapped his finger on his phone screen. He devised a new plan to kill Charles and destroy the Duke family. So far, none of his plans had worked because Charles always managed to thwart all the plans he had devised. "Do I have to kill him directly? So far I've only used indirect killing methods by using poison, but Charles managed to remove the poison before his body condition worsened. Moreover, when Jonah tried to poison his nephew, he got caught and that made Charles even more wary." While busy thinking of things he might be able to do to destroy Charles, Dominic is surprised by a report from his secretary saying that Jonah wants a meeting and is already outside his room. Forced to, Dominic let him in, even though he didn't want to meet Jonah after the man's failure. "What's wrong?" Dominic asked to the point. Jonah's brow furrowed in surprise because Dominic was still treating him well the last time they met, not as terse as he was now. "There's something I need to tell

    Jonah visited Isabella in the hospital. He was very happy because his daughter's condition had improved from before. His daughter was even able to move as usual, even though she had to be helped by others when doing quite difficult activities. "Hi, my love, how are you today?" Jonah kissed his daughter's forehead. "I'm good, Dad. How about you? Did you do well with your plan? And what about the results?" Isabella greeted the questions from her father in a cheerful tone. She was comforted by her father's arrival, as she was tired of being in the hospital alone. No one was to accompany her because she had no close friends, let alone a lover. She had broken up with Dominic. As for family, she only had her father, as her mother had died long ago. Jonah let out his breath because he was frustrated with his condition. "No, Love. All the plans I've put together and planned for a long time didn't go smoothly. Charles acted faster than me, he spread the information that I had been hiding ab

    Charles came to his company in a hurry. He walked straight into the meeting room. Suddenly, his presence attracted all the attention of the meeting members. They stared at Charles with displeased and condescending eyes. With a sharp intake of breath, Charles said, "What's going on? Why are you holding a meeting without my knowledge? Are you trying to conspire to remove me from office, huh?!" Charles kicked the table violently. The fact that the meeting had happened because of Jonah's incitement made him unable to contain his anger. One of the meeting members who owned a considerable share in the Duke company stood up, and he looked at Charles contemptuously and condescendingly. He replied, "We should be asking you, where were you all day? Shouldn't you always be at the company? You can't leave the company unless you have a meeting with a business partner! Don't mix work with personal matters! Your priority is the company now!" Charles furrowed his brow. "What do you mean? I always

I just want to make you happy."Michael, who felt that Isabella was very attentive, did not have the slightest suspicion.

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.

    "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
