"What do you mean, Charles? Who are you accusing of having an affair? And... who is this man? I don't even know him!" Xaviera stood up and pointed angrily at her nephew's face.Xaviera's heart was beating fast right now for fear that the scandal of her affair with Ken would be exposed. Therefore, she covered it with an angry expression so Charles would feel guilty and stop cornering her like this."Heh, don't be evasive, Auntie. I already know everything, you don't need to do any more acting. You've even been in a special relationship with Grandpa's brother longer than your marriage to Uncle Jonah, right?"Hearing the facts from Charles' lips, Xaviera was naturally surprised. She couldn't believe that her nephew knew so much about her relationship with Ken, even the length of the special relationship."I'm not evasive. And who did you say you were? Your grandfather's brother? Your grandfather didn't have a sibling, Charles! You shouldn't feel like you know best because you've only bee
Xaviera ran out of Will's room to the hospital parking lot. She even forgot and did not have time to suspect Will, who told her about the news of her affair that had circulated on social media and would undoubtedly be aired on several television stations."How could this happen? Why would Charles do something like this? I can't just let him win. I must immediately stop the news that is already circulating. I don't want to be ruined! No!" Xaviera exhaled roughly, not caring that her legs were starting to ache as she ran from the second floor to the ground floor.Although the distance traveled was not too far, the pressure felt by Xaviera was enough to make her feel excessively tired.Arriving at the parking lot, Xaviera immediately got into her car. She didn't leave right away but called Charles first."Where is that kid? Why isn't he picking up my calls?!" Xaviera cursed at Charles. If her nephew were in front of her right now, she would have cursed him out and even hit him because sh
Xaviera was even more surprised by the statement from Charles' lips. She was even more helpless because it turned out that her nephew knew about Elizabeth."Let's finish it outside." Xaviera nudged Charles' shoulder, and she just left without saying goodbye to her father-in-law.Michael, who saw Xaviera's expression, was curious and wanted to ask questions, but he held back because he knew Charles would tell him later."Delete the news that you have spread about me! I don't care. No matter how hard it is, you must still delete all the news circulating on television and social media. Only a single one should be included! Do you understand?!"Charles smiled, then asked his aunt to sit down first. Currently, they were sitting in the garden beside the mansion. "Sit down first, Auntie. Don't get too emotional like that.""Don't play games with me, Charles! I could sue you and report you to the police because you've dared to spread false news about me. Right now, I still see you as my nephe
Xaviera stared at her cell phone a few times, waiting for the person who had just called her to call back because she had tried to contact that person but couldn't."Why isn't she calling me back? Is she just trying to make me panic?" Xaviera continued to stare at her cell phone. A few minutes later, when none of the calls came in, she decided to see her boyfriend. She felt that he should know about this."I have to meet with Ken right now. Our position will be jeopardized if my twin sister tells everything to my father-in-law, especially if Elizabeth says we are twins. I don't want anyone to know about it."Xaviera prepared to leave, but before that, she called Ken first."I want to go to your apartment. I have something important to tell you." Xaviera said."What news do you have to tell me? Can't you say it now? Our position is not safe right now. The reporters have already started looking for my identity, and they even chased me earlier to get the latest information on our scandal
Ken returned to his adoptive father's house, and he wanted to ask Sebastian for reassurance when the plan to destroy the Duke family began.Arriving there, Ken crossed paths with a man he knew very well, but they had only met briefly."Ethan? You came to see Dad, too?" Ken asked.Ethan, who heard Ken's question, immediately gave the man the code to be quiet. "Don't speak too loudly," he whispered.Ken nodded. He invited Ethan to chat for a while, only for the man to refuse. "Alright. Let's talk another time when you're not busy.""Yes. Hurry up and meet Mr. Sebastian. He's been waiting for you since before."Ken smiled slightly as he watched Ethan walk away from him. He relaxed his tense posture, as he seemed to be able to guess what would happen next just by watching the man's departure after meeting his father."Dad," Ken called out to Sebastian, who seemed lost in thought."Ken? Are you here yet?" Sebastian asked, which was immediately answered with a nod."I'm sorry for coming lat
Will began to perform his duties well. He couldn't evade or refuse the task that Charles had given him because his boss had been watching him since before.Two hours he was passed, with no results obtained by Will. Although he failed, he was happy that his identity was not revealed."I'm sorry, boss. I couldn't get any information about your brother. It's possible that Lady Elizabeth lied to you to trick you into not bothering her anymore." Will said. He wanted to give a new opinion to make Charles forget that he had an older brother."There's no way Elizabeth deceived me. What would she do that for?" Charles expressed his curiosity."It's possible. We still need to find out whose side Lady Elizabeth is on. She could be favoring Ken, Xaviera, or whoever else we don't know. She didn't confirm that she was on our side, right?"Charles nodded. "You're right. I should have investigated Elizabeth's personality first before meeting her. We had never met before, and suddenly, she told me I h
Elizabeth adjusted the mask she wore, remembering the hat she wore so that no one could recognize her out there.Elizabeth peeked behind the curtains with slow steps, ensuring no one was watching her."Looks like it's safe," Elizabeth muttered.She checked the neighborhood once more, then exited her house after the taxi she had ordered had arrived."To Cambodia Street, sir. Black Swan Cafe." Elizabeth mentioned her destination, to which the taxi driver nodded.The taxi started moving from slow to medium speed. There was no need to wait long. About 30 minutes into the trip, Elizabeth sat in one of the cafe chairs."Why is he taking so long? Did he make me wait on purpose?" Elizabeth snorted in annoyance. She glanced at the watch she was wearing, it was already 15 minutes past the promised time, but the person she was waiting for had yet to show up."CK, five more minutes, that man doesn't come. I'd better go." Elizabeth cursed the man who deliberately made her wait.One of the things E
Rose observed Elizabeth's every move, from her anger at a man who looked like a bodyguard to her departure to the VIP room to her exit an hour later."Who exactly did Elizabeth want to meet? She looks very suspicious." Rose muttered. She was still watching from a distance, and she sharpened her vision even more when she saw Elizabeth walking out of the cafe and getting back into the taxi.Rose, who saw that, immediately followed the taxi carrying Elizabeth. "Is she not going anywhere after this?" she said after seeing the cab heading towards the woman's house.After Elizabeth returned to her house, Rose stayed nearby. She didn't want to lose any information, especially after she saw with her own eyes when she met someone who must have power because there was no way the person Elizabeth met was just ordinary. Rose could conclude this by seeing the bodyguard who had led Elizabeth into the VIP room.For a long time, Rose was there. She kept watching the house, which had not seen any acti
