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

Will stares at the tombstone with Michael's name on it without blinking. His mind went blank momentarily as he stared at the word and then exhaled loudly.Two years had passed since Michael's death, and Charles was not doing well. The events of two years ago made Charles sickly and weak.The breeze distracted Will, who was transfixed for a moment. He was concerned about Charles' condition and the man's company, which needed a successor."It's all because of that damn woman. If only Elizabeth-""There's no need to regret what happened," Will said quickly. He stares at the headstones of Michael and his parents without blinking.Charles let out a long, hard breath."I even made things easier," Charles said.It was Will's turn to exhale. He had often heard Charles express his guilt, which only worsened his condition. Will gripped the handles of Charles' wheelchair tightly."At least, in this situation, you still have hope," Will said, and then he turned his gaze to stare at the sky mixed w

"Bugh...." The sound of falling objects was heard so loudly from inside Michael's room that it startled everyone, especially Charles who was arguing with Isabella. "What is it?" Charles immediately ran to his grandfather's room followed by everyone who was gathered earlier. Charles headed for his grandfather's room after hearing a loud noise. This was followed by Isabella. When he opened the door, Charles was very surprised to see Elizabeth in his grandfather's room which was already unlocked. "Elizabeth, what are you doing here?" Charles was really surprised when he saw the scene that was presented in front of his eyes. There, Charles saw his grandfather slit his own throat and seemed to have died when he came because his grandfather's body looked very pale."Grandpa ...." Charles was in shock. He looked at Elizabeth with a look of disbelief in his eyes, as did Isabella who apparently followed Charles."Elizabeth, why are you here." Isabella wondered. "Elizabeth ... you...." He

Isabella carried out her plan well. She approached Michael, visited often and gave many gifts to her grandfather to smooth the way of her plan. However, the plan that had been drawn up could not run smoothly because now Charles lived in the Duke's family mansion. Isabella tried to be careful when approaching Michael. "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." "Okay Grandpa, I'll make it first." Isabella with her sweet smile made Orange juice for her grandfather. Arriving in the kitchen Isabella took the ingredien

Isabella moved restlessly in her room. Because it's been a few days since she gave Ethan some money.The man should have given news about the continuation of the plan they had arranged, but the man has not even appeared since receiving money from him.Ethan himself could not be contacted, making Isabella even worse. Apart from being afraid of being cheated, she also doesn't know how to destroy the Duke family because Ethan hasn't explained anything to her.Isabella has no plan at all. Ethan is missing will help her impose revenge by destroying the Duke family. Whether it's killing Charles or destroying the man's business.Isabella growled. She had contacted Ethan, but the man was unavailable. She was afraid that if she left the house and tried to meet Ethan, it would be bad and all plans would fall apart. However, waiting is not a good thing either.I don't know how many calls and messages Isabella sent to Ethan. She just hoped he would pick up and give her some news. She had already

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

"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
Chap 118
"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
