The next day, Lumina City greeted the start of the morning with the warmth of the sun's rays, although the rays were unable to relieve the tension that enveloped Jack and Ashley. With hearts full of vigilance, the couple prepared to begin the journey to the home of Jack's biological family, the Harrison Family, which had long been neglected and abandoned, leaving behind shadows of the past that came to them.A tightly guarded luxury car drove down a quiet street, through the hustle and bustle of city life towards an increasingly exclusive housing complex. The majestic Harrison family mansion could be seen towering in the distance, creating images of the past that resounded in their minds."Are you sure you're going to be okay, Jack?" Ashley asked in a soft voice, trying to provide much needed support.Jack nodded, trying to hold back the wave of uncertainty that hit him. "I'm sure. This is the step we have to take to prove everything. We will find the answer there."The car passed thr
After giving detailed instructions to the driver and bodyguards, Jack made sure that everything was well coordinated before taking Ashley into the car. The bodyguards, who were always alert and ready, deftly secured the surrounding area before allowing the car to drive onto the busy highway.Ashley, sitting with shock and concern still etched on her face, asked, "Aren't you going to come with me to the office, Jack?"Jack, with a gentle smile on his lips, gently touched Ashley's hand. "No, dear. There are some urgent matters that I need to attend to. It's better for you to go to the office first. I'll catch up as soon as everything is finished. Don't worry, I'll be fine."Ashley, although still maintaining her worries, finally nodded. "Okay, but make sure you're careful, okay? Don't take too long.""Sure," Jack answered, giving Ashley a quick kiss on the forehead before gesturing for the car to leave. He watched the car until it disappeared from his sight before turning around and str
Jack, with his eyes glued to the evidence spread out on the table, still couldn't believe that the traitor was Ashley. The detective, with his calm demeanor, watched Jack's reaction with rapt attention."I don't believe this is possible. Ashley is not the type of person who would do something like this," Jack said in a voice that sounded full of disbelief.The detective shifts the focus of the conversation to Ashley's background, revealing a dark secret that had been hidden. "Mr. Ashworth, have you ever wondered why Ashley is always so close to you? This is not just a coincidence. Ashley, from the start, was designed to monitor your every move."Jack listened carefully, his eyes searching for the answer behind every word the detective said. "As far as I can trace, Ashley is not the biological child of the Callahan family. She is the result of an adoption carried out by them. And, Jack, her role is not just as your 'friend' or 'lover'. She was raised to be a spy in Lumina City."Jack b
After Jack hung up, the room fell silent for a moment. Jack looked at the detective in front of him, who was still hiding his identity behind a mysterious mask and thick jacket that gave off a mysterious impression. In those seconds, Jack's eyes were accidentally caught by the cable around the detective's neck, giving a touch of discomfort that slipped through his mind. Jack's instincts began to give warning signals, making him realize that this encounter might not be as easy as he thought."Who are you really?" Jack asked in a firm tone, observing every expression on the detective's face hidden behind the mask.The detective was silent for a moment, as if considering his words carefully. Jack couldn't contain his curiosity and disbelief. "You know so much and it seems impossible that you would ask me to meet you in person if you didn't have something planned. You have always been mysterious and why have you decided to show up now?" Jack asked doubtfully.The detective took a deep bre
In the luxurious family room, Rita felt increasingly unable to overcome her anxiety. With her cell phone in hand, she decided to call her husband, Dylan, who was busy at the office. Rita's voice trembled as she tried to convey her concern about Gordon not seeming to feel at home. Despite hearing his wife's trembling voice, Dylan tried to provide reassurance."Of course, Rita. We have to stay calm," Dylan said in a soft voice, trying to provide support. "What makes you so worried about Gordon? What's going on at home?"Rita took a deep breath and tried to form her words carefully, "Dylan, I'm really scared about Gordon. He seems so unhappy at home. I just saw him throwing things in his room."Dylan gritted his teeth, "We know he's still upset about everything that happened, especially after the incident at Green Diamond Village. But I think it's enough to lock him in the house, just let him out."Rita answered, her voice filled with worry, "I know, Dylan. But what if he can't keep his
With hasty steps, Jack left the private detective's office, which was actually the headquarters for Jilliane Chung, a mysterious woman who had successfully disguised herself as a male detective. His presence in that place gave him a deep feeling of disappointment, as if his whole world had collapsed because he had become a victim of Jilliane's cunning game. The disappointment was compounded by the layers of anger that plagued Jack's mind, creating emotional turmoil that was difficult to understand. Entering his luxury car which stood majestically outside, Jack found himself accompanied by a loyal bodyguard who was sensitive to changes in his boss's emotional mood. The car space, which should be comfortable, is witness to a tense atmosphere that poisons the atmosphere. In the car cabin, the wave of tension was very strong, reflecting the chaos that had settled in Jack's heart. His blank gaze darted out the window, trying to piece together the moments with Ashley which now felt full of
In the dark of night, Ashley felt the subtle vibration of a car driving in the middle of a deserted road. The streetlights shining on every corner created wavy shadows on the walls of the car. Inside, the silence was accompanied by the rustle of wind coming in through the half-open windows, adding to the drama of this difficult moment.The essential equipment she carried became items that froze in the darkness. Laptops and cellphones reveal their presence with faint light, creating small silhouettes in a car that feels increasingly cramped. The clothes that stick to her body provide physical comfort amid emotional turmoil.Then, the ringing of the phone cut through the silence. Ashley reached for her cell phone with a careful movement, and the screen that illuminated her face showed a name that made her heart rate increase: "Lana Callahan." With all the courage he had, he answered the call. "Mother," she said, her voice remaining calm, although anxiety crept into every word.Her voice
Jack, drunk and trying to get a moment of privacy, decides to book a VIP room. With an unchanged face, the waiter greeted him and led him through the crowd to a more exclusive area inside the lively nightclub.Arriving at the VIP room, Jack tried to escape from the crowd and pondered this unexpected situation. However, fate brings her together with someone who adds complexity to his night: Gordon.Their bodies accidentally collide, creating a moment of confusion before they recognize each other. Gordon, who was clearly drunk, quickly made a derogatory comment, "Look who we have here, guys! A former waiter who is now a rich ass!"Jack, although disturbed, maintained his composure. "Gordon, can't you have fun without making a scene?"Gordon just laughed in a high pitched voice, trying to draw more people's attention to the situation. "Oh, I think this ex-servant feels too important now. Can buy a bottle of champagne now, eh?"Jack, while ordering vodka from the waiter, smiled faintly. "
