Charles opened his car window, then looked directly at the gatekeeper who lied to him to come to the villa that had been prepared to trap him."Why are you silent? Let's open the door!" Charles ordered in a rather high tone.The guard was stunned and immediately nodded his head several times. He immediately approached the gate and opened it for Charles. His expression of fear was printed on his face as if he couldn't believe the person he lied to and trapped could return in good condition. The context of fine here was that no reporters were following him and making a bad image of the man."Work properly if you don't want to get fired from here!" Charles gave a warning, then closed his car window again. He deliberately did not punish or fire the guard directly because he wanted to give a sensation of fear for having dared to commit a crime against his boss.After the car driven by Charles and Rose arrived in front of the mansion, they immediately got off and walked inside. They crossed

"Xaviera? Don't lie, or I'll double your punishment!" Michael pushed the guard with his cane, and the man collapsed as he could no longer bear the weight of his badly injured body."I-I'm not lying, Sir. It was Mis-mistress Xaviera who ordered me to lie to Mr. Charles. She asked me to tell Lord Charles you are living here again." The guard was now sobbing and feared that his son would see him punished right before his eyes. He was afraid that his son would be depressed and his pain would become worse from seeing him like this."Is it true that Xaviera set you up, Charl?" Michael asked his grandson."From the CCTV footage I got, the men who hit me mentioned another name, not Aunt Xaviera," Charles replied. He looked at the guard with a sharp look in his eyes."Answer the truth! Don't lie! I already know who sent you, and now I need a confession! You can't lie to me!" Charles tried to intimidate the guard, but the man remained adamant that it was Xaviera, not anyone else."I'm not lying

Dominic lay on his bed. He stared at the papers he had gotten from Jerry. Now that he felt confident in their authenticity, he wasn't sure about opening the papers."For twenty-five years, my mother has been depressed and can't recognize anyone. I've never even seen her healthy because I could only see her from afar since I was a child. After all, she was always locked up. Doctor Jerry said that this paper contains my mother's notes, but can the contents be trusted?"Dominic flipped through the hard copy before reading it. He looked at each side of the paper that had turned yellowish with age. "I'd rather read it than be curious about its contents."Dominic changed his position to sitting and picked up a table lamp to help him read the paper's contents. "Alright. Let's begin."After arranging the slightly messy papers from their covers, Dominic began to read each sentence.In the first paper, no important piece of information was written. There was only an outpouring of a woman who wa

Charles entered his apartment and turned on the television as Rose had instructed. He was curious about the worried tone audible in the bodyguard's tone.With quick movements, Charles took the television remote and pressed the on button. He changed the channel from sports to another channel that usually covered news about famous businessmen and businesswomen.Having just changed the channel, Charles was already surprised by the news delivered by the reporter. There, printed his face and a woman he knew very well."Unexpected! The only child of the Duke's family, the long-lost family leader who has now returned to reclaim his rights, has a special relationship with his bodyguard!"That was the headline of the news Charles saw. He was very surprised, especially when he saw some photos attached that were quite intimate, like hugging each other, even though he had never been that close to Rose."What the hell is this?! How can they spread fake news like this?!" Charles gritted his teeth i

"What about it? Did all the news stop airing?" Charles asked Will who was visiting his apartment. Coincidentally, he didn't go to the office today because it was a holiday, and he was checking documents and other files in the apartment."Yes. All the television stations that aired news about you and Rose have disappeared. I've also stopped and deleted all the video clips some people sent me on their cell phones. Luckily, Rose found out and told you quickly, so I could still deal with it as quickly as possible before it was used by people who didn't like you." Will explained. He took a sip of tea that had a lavender scent to calm him down as if his boss knew that he had been sleep-deprived lately due to the many tasks assigned by the man."Good job, Will. What about the other information I wanted? Did you get it, too?" Charles asked again.Will nodded hesitantly. "I got very little information because there was very little communication between the men and their boss. The only solid ev

Rose tightened her grip on the hat she was wearing. She was out of the house now, keeping a close eye on Jonah, Rose, and Xaviera.Charles had excused her from work and stayed home for a few days as the reporters still hounded her about the dating news. However, Rose insisted on staying on duty because she was bored.In addition, Rose was sure that Will would have difficulty finding information about them if he only relied on his hacker skills because she was convinced that they must be more brilliant this time. They couldn't be planning a big plan through chat messages or phone calls because they had already had their cunning plans uncovered several times because of that."I have to follow Isabella today. I haven't watched them for a few days and only rely on Will. I'm sure I'll be able to get information about them today." Rose spoke to herself.Rose took the motorcycle she was riding quickly to Jonah's residence. She deliberately used a bike this time so that it would be easy to fo

Rose covered her mouth with one hand, shocked by what she had just heard. During her time as a bodyguard for the rich, she had never encountered such a convoluted problem as the one she was currently facing."If you dare to tell Dominic everything, then I will also not hesitate to tell my fathers-in-law that you, you are the one who instigated Jonah to turn evil and dare to commit all the crimes against his brother." Xaviera threatened the man back."Are you out of your mind?""You're the one who's crazy! Weren't you the one who threatened me first, Ken? You were the one who threatened me first that I would tell Dominic everything, so don't blame me if I do the same."Ken ran his hands through his hair roughly, wanting to hit this woman standing before him. If only he didn't love Xaviera or Eliza, he would have finished her off.Ken and Eliza were lovers separated only by their considerable age gap. Eliza's visit to the Duke's mansion when she was young was misunderstood by Michael, w

Rose's body stiffened. She didn't want her cover to be blown this quickly. She could have beaten up those two people, especially since one of them was a woman with no martial arts skills, while the man was already 55 years old, so those two were not difficult opponents for her.However, Rose didn't want to take any chances. She wanted to meet Dominic's mother later if Charles allowed it. She tried to find out more information so that all her boss's problems could be solved without any new misunderstandings being created in her boss's life."I'm sorry, ma'am. I don't know you. I don't think I've ever met you." Rose tried to release Xaviera's grip from her hand, but the woman's force was so strong that she winced slightly as Xaviera's sharp nails clung to her skin."You're hurting me, ma'am." Rose suppressed the tone of her voice. She wanted to show her displeasure through the words that escaped her lips.Ken, who saw that, immediately pulled Xaviera's body. "What are you doing, Eliz? D
