Charles froze as he saw the scene beside him. Dominic fell to the floor with a loud noise. His body was covered in blood from the area of his back that was shot.The shot seemed to have hit Dominic's vital spot, as the man immediately lost consciousness after being shot."U-uncle! What are you doing?!" Charles shouted at his uncle and looked at Jonah, who looked back at him with a depressed look.Jonah did that because he was too emotional. He shot Dominic because he felt threatened. This can be seen from the man's shaking hands. Even the gun he was holding immediately fell to the floor when he saw Dominic not moving anymore, along with Isabella's cries that began to break out beside him."Dad! What did you do? Why did you shoot Dominic?" Isabella released her grip on Jonah's arm and covered her mouth with both hands to cover the sound of her crying that began to harden.No one moved among the four of them, and they were still in shock from what had just happened.They were transfixed

Dominic's burial went quickly. Not many people came, as the man had no family left. The only one left was his mother, who couldn't go because she was being treated intensively for her recovery.Charles, who was in the first row, rubbed his eyes and felt wet. "Take it easy there, Dominic. I will solve everything."After all the processes were completed, including the giving of flowers and prayers, Charles left quickly from there.He wasn't heartless, but he didn't want to break his spirit and mentality by mourning someone's death any longer. Charles was silent in his car. He tried to calm his emotions."Where are we going, sir?" Rose asked.Charles looked at his bodyguard, who was already working as usual. Because of Dominic's death, he no longer cared about the reporters who kept filling the lobby of his apartment building."I want to go to the apartment."Rose's brow furrowed. "Are you sure? What if those reporters were still in front of the apartment lobby? They would have swarmed u

Charles came to the Duke's mansion in the same outfit he wore to Dominic's funeral, a black suit.From inside the car that had just been parked, Charles saw his grandfather, who was waiting for him. His grandfather was waiting right in front of the main door, and beside him stood Isabella with a messy appearance because she didn't have time to clean up after the police arrested her father."Good afternoon, Grandpa." Charles got out of the car, then walked over and greeted his grandfather, who was looking at him with an expression that was hard to interpret."Come in quickly. There's something I need to ask you. Something very, very important." Michael turned around and went inside, followed by Isabella, Charles, and Rose, who had also come to see their boss.Once in the living room, Michael asked his servants to leave, leaving them all in the room after serving them drinks and snacks."Is it true that your uncle killed Dominic?" Michael asked his grandson to the point.Charles nodded.

As the weeks passed quickly, the trial of Jonah's case came to a close, with the second son of Michael Duke being sentenced for his crimes.None of the Duke's family members were present in the audience except for Michael, Charles, and Isabella. In addition, none of the people who used to support Jonah now avoided the man's crimes, including his wife, Xaviera."Why didn't that woman come here to support my father? That bitch! I'm sure she wants my father's money!" Isabella grumbled. She hated the situation where no one was willing to defend her father, including Xaviera, who had taken Jonah from her mother."That woman should be here! Isn't she my father's wife? She didn't even give a single favor or attempt to free my father. Is this the role of a wife? Tsk, she doesn't even deserve to be labeled as someone's wife! What a bitch!" Isabella cursed at Xaviera, who was now nowhere to be found."Never mind. Let your mom not come, rather than her making a scene and making your father's pun

Elizabeth left Charles alone. She went back to acting like a crazy person by stroking the hair of her favorite doll. Charles was confused by what was going on. He seemed hypnotized and showed a different personality from Dominic's mother."What's going on? Has Dominic's mother recovered from her depression long ago?" Charles spoke to himself.Not wanting to waste more time, Charles immediately got up from his seat and went to see the doctor who was treating Elizabeth, replacing Doctor Jerry.After asking the administration about the location of the doctor's room, Charles was directed to go up to the third floor and walk straight until he found a door that read Doctor William.Charles knocked three times, then opened the door after being told to enter. Not enough surprise was felt by him after seeing Elizabeth's changing personality. Now Charles was again surprised by the figure of the doctor who was currently in charge of treating Dominic's mother."Will? Why are you here? And why are

Ken recalled the opinion Xaviera had given him yesterday. He was alone in his apartment, thinking about whether or not he should contact and rejoin the mafia group he used to lead."Do I have to meet and join them again? Will they still accept me after I pretended to be dead and disappeared from their radar?"Ken recalled his past once again. Back then, he led a rather large mafia organization in Washington. There, he used his power and money to incite Elizabeth's husband to take revenge for the rape of his wife.Yes, from the beginning, the destruction that occurred in the Duke family resulted from a plan that Ken had devised. He deliberately did so because he hated Michael for taking over the entire Duke family fortune, and he didn't get the slightest share. In addition, he wanted to avenge the death of his mother, whom Michael's father dumped. Although his mother made the mistake, Ken closed his eyes and did not accept the fact. He prefers to blame others rather than his mother.Af

One month on, Charles' life was going smoothly and safely. Nothing significant had happened. Even Ken and Xaviera seemed to be living casually. There was no suspicious interaction between the two of them, except for meeting a few times, according to the report given by Rose.Charles became uneasy seeing the atmosphere that was too safe, comfortable, and calm. His heart seemed to have a bad feeling that something important would always happen. So far, the suspicion he felt had never been wrong, but this time, he was confused about what would happen later because all his enemies did not seem to be doing anything that could cause him harm."How is it, Will? Have you found the loophole created by Elizabeth? Is that woman crazy or not?" Charles sat before Will, who was typing something on his laptop."She is a brilliant woman, Sir. For some reason, she used the excuse of the child she gave birth to to recover. That woman created a drama that she remembered everything since the last time Do

Ken recalled meeting with his adoptive father one month ago, where he was accepted back to join the organization and become the next leader because it turned out that Sebastian had no children other than Ken, who met him 25 years ago."Mikey? Is that you, my son?" Sebastian opened his arms wide and hugged Ken, whom he hadn't seen in a long time."How can you still be alive? Weren't you killed 25 years ago fighting our enemies?" Sebastian asked his son to sit beside him."Back then, Dad, I was seriously injured and couldn't return to this house. All those years, I lived alone and started to organize my own life until I forgot to come back. I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm sorry I didn't meet you back as soon as possible. I was too wrapped up in life outside the organization." Ken bowed, even kneeling in apology. He knew that his foster father was ruthless and would never tolerate a betrayal, so he went to great lengths to make himself look innocent.Ken's real purpose in leaving the organization
