"Excuse me, Maam! Sorry if we're intruding. Do you recognise this person?" asked Deepika in a kind and gentle voice, showing her a picture of a person, printed large, on a white sheet of paper.
"I don't know," she replied curtly, but a look of fear was on her face.
"You don't need to be afraid of us. We are all friends of this woman," Deepika said, still softly but with a lie in her voice.
The middle-aged woman Deepika had asked didn't respond, but her head turned around as if looking for something. Her behaviour, of course, caused Deepika and her friends to frown. Meanwhile, Henry, the leader of the group, remained silent.
He had deliberately entrusted the task to Deepika because the person to be asked was a middle-aged woman, who, of course, if approached by a woman, the attitude might be different. But as it turned out, Henry's prediction was wrong. Instead, the woman bluntly answered Deepika's questions.
Seeing such an attitude, Henry became fu
But so far, Oscar's efforts have been fruitless. Tate strongly resisted her advances by confining herself to the house, rarely venturing out unless there was an urgent need. Even then, she had to be watched from afar. Neighbours who saw and heard about it became concerned about Tate's plight, but they could not do anything about it, as Oscar always sent his men to monitor Tate's activities daily, limiting her space. The authorities also had no evidence to arrest them, as they committed no offence. They sat in the cafe, not far from Tate's house, drinking tea. There were few of them, only four to six spies. Therefore, they were considered not to have committed any unlawful acts. But one day, Tate and his mother tried to escape their surveillance by moving out of his father's inherited house, but they discovered their efforts on the spot. The spies watching them became angry and forced Tate and his mother to return to his house. Oscar, who heard the news, also became angry and ordere
"Usually hunting is in the forest, but why in the middle of the city?" Oscar thought. "This guy's got it!" he thought to himself. "What do you mean, sir, do you want to hunt for food or tourist attractions?" asked Oscar, wanting to reaffirm what his new friend was saying. "That's what we meant. Sorry if I misspoke. But if possible, we also want to hunt people," Henry said jokingly. "Sir, you've got something going on. What kind of animal are you hunting?" replied Oscar jokingly. "It could be if that person needs to be hunted because they are expensive. Hahahaha..." argued Henry with a crunchy laugh. Oscar just wryly smiled because he had started to catch a bad vibe. He just remembered that he was currently hiding, on the advice of his friend Alfie. But being a fanatic coffee lover, he still couldn't resist the urge to drink coffee at the cafe he usually visited. Even though at home there is also, the coffee served by the cafe waiter is very delicious. Unfortunately, when he wen
"From your tone, you don't know Harrison and Theo," Henry responds quickly."That's right! I don't know them," replied Oscar trying to lie."What about this contact number? Isn't this the number you used to contact Harrison and his men," Henry rebutted quite cleverly."H-how did you get this contact number?" asked Oscar nervously."You don't need to know how I got the contact number you used, but you just need to know that technology is very advanced," Henry replied lightly."You answer my question. What was your reason for sending Harrison, Theo and the intruders to Spencer Group?" Henry asked intimidatingly.Oscar kept quiet, not trying to answer or respond to anything because he thought this was a public place, and if they made trouble, then it would be quickly caught by the authorities, but apparently, his thoughts were wrong.Dexon, who was already furious, seeing his boss being toyed with like that, pressed Oscar's right thigh a
Arriving at the Spencer Group company, Oscar was brought in with a light escort, as the company was their territory. Douglas welcomed Henry and his men and took them to the warehouse, where Theo and his men were being held. "Do you know this man Theo?" asked Henry in a heavy voice. "Don't know him, boss, but if he talks, I might recognise his voice," Theo replied honestly. "Take that gag off!" Henry ordered sternly. Deepika, close to Oscar, violently pulled the tape over Oscar's mouth. Between annoyance, resentment and hurt, Oscar is forced to accept the rough treatment, walks over to Theo and greets him directly. "How are you Theo?" he greeted in a heavy voice. "Yes! He's the one who contacted me through the phone line, and yes, he's Oscar." Theo shouted firmly, wanting to vent his frustration on the man before him. "It turns out you're telling the truth. You're working under orders, and you're doing it for pay. Therefore, we will still punish you, by cutting off your hands one
After receiving the order from Killian to execute the savings in Alfie's company and personal accounts, Russell quickly conducted the order.Alfie's two banking accounts were drained in about five minutes and transferred to another account. Then from that account, it was transferred to another account, making it difficult to trace the owner.Miguel and Spencer Group officials witnessed the process of transferring Alfie's money with regular expressions because they had seen such incidents many times. They did not blame Killian for his decision because if left unchecked, it would jeopardise the integrity of the company they worked for.Like an insect that wants to bite us, should we leave it alone or chase it away, while after being chased away and gone many times, it still comes and still bothers us?So it is with Alfie, too. From when his grandfather was still in power, controlling the Spencer group, Alfie had repeatedly tried to disrupt the Spencer Group
"Patience dear, we'll be at grandma soon. Later there, you can eat as much as you want," Alfie replied, trying to calm his second daughter down with empty promises. "It's been a while, it's been a while, but it hasn't even arrived yet," Luna protested irritably in her typical childlike manner. "Luna's tired? Let me carry you," Alfie coaxed affectionately, grabbing Luna's tiny body and placing it on his back. Luna, the tiny ten-year-old girl, who knew nothing, had been the victim of her father's greed. At that age, she was forced to experience the bitterness of street life. Although out there, many children her age still have long experienced the harshness of life as a have-not. But Luna's case was different; she had never felt such hardship from childhood until she was ten. But it only was after her father went bankrupt that she got a taste of life as a pauper. Meanwhile, her sister Carmen, a thirteen-year-old girl, had already experienced the bitterness of life when she had to be
During college, Killian did not have many good friends; only a few students, including Elizabeth, wanted to be friends with him. Most of the students, who were in the same department as Killian, always thought that Killian was a poor student; being able to study there was just a matter of luck.Every day, Killian got snide looks from the wealthy students, but Killian was indifferent.One of the students who bullied Killian the most at that time was Finley, the son of a wealthy regional businessman from Liverpool. He could study at the college because the rector was related to him.Finley chose to study there rather than in his city because of his substandard IQ. If he went to college in his town or elsewhere, his father was worried that Finley wouldn't be able to graduate because of the strict education system. But if he went to the college headed by his relative, his father hoped Finley could be helped in every way.He often oppressed and abused other students, especially Killian, by
Maire's entourage, which consisted of Finley, Logan Stella and others, was currently dining in the VIP room of a luxurious restaurant, which Maire's parents had booked for her 25th birthday party. They had come to Daylight Town because they were attracted to the splendour and popularity of the area. Although each came from a different city, Maire had invited them to meet in Daylight Town because her city was just a short distance away. During the meal, Finley took the time to ask Maire about Killian. "I don't know who Killian is. I was surprised to hear him claim to be the owner of both the area and the restaurant we're in," Maire replied matter-of-factly. "If Killian can own a productive area, he is not a random guy. Do you still dare to bother him again, Finley?" asked Stella curiously, wanting to know how Finley would behave, knowing that Killian had turned into a rich man. "I don't know; I am still undecided whether to calculate with Killian. My heart wants to but seeing his g
