Chapter 103: Unexpected Events "Jungkai? So you are-"Steve stopped his words when he felt his head hurt, like it was pierced by needles. The man immediately closed his eyes. His hands were above his head, with a soft hiss coming out of his mouth.This certainly drew the attention of everyone there. Barbara as the father immediately walked over to his son. He was worried when he saw Steve, who felt so painful and helpless, like now."Oh my God, what happened to his face?" Barbara asked as he realized that Steve's face was a mess. The corners of his lips looked bruised and torn, and his nose was slightly red from bleeding."Why did I just realize it?" Barbara asked, feeling sorry for himself.Aleena took a deep breath. She stood next to Barbara. "Don't think about it, Barbara.""But-""I've called Dr. Lee to come here," Ben said it in a panicked tone while holding his cell phone. Apparently, the man was dexterous enough and could still think clearly enough to call the doctor. He move
Chapter 104: Hidden Facts (1)Before hearing what Dr. Lee had to say, Kai ran straight to Steve's room. Without warning, he broke down the door of the room, making a loud noise. Steve, who was just about to fall asleep, opened his eyes again.Steve glanced at the door, where Kai was still standing. His eyes blinked briefly before closing again.Seeing Steve, who didn't show much reaction, made Kai anxious. He also walked into the dark, purple-haired man's room without excuse. Once in front of Steve, who was currently lying down, Kai seemed to think for a moment."Steve?" Kai gently shook Steve's arm, intending to wake the man from his slumber. His amber eyes could tell that Steve was currently stifling an annoyed groan as he disturbed his sleep.Kai chuckled. Even so, in the corner of his heart, he felt a huge sense of guilt. On top of that, he also had to bear the hurt that he had been harboring for so long. The man sighed softly, then took Steve's hand and held it."I'm sorry that
Chapter 105: Hidden Facts (2)Aleena closed her eyes for a moment. She couldn't understand what Kai, the man who had destroyed her family's business, was saying. Her hands were now clasped around her waist, with a face full of annoyance but also high curiosity. "What do you mean?" Aleena asked in a low voice, breaking Kai's revelation."Why am I the one you're talking about?" She said this, pointing at herself.Kai sighed, then looked back at his sister, who was now looking the other way. "Jessy, you better tell Mrs. Aleena what I mean. She doesn't know anything about this incident."Jessy shook her head. She still didn't want to look at Kai and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her mind was still focused on other things. Besides, she was in a pretty bad mood. She didn't want to worsen the already murky atmosphere."I don't want to. You'll have to explain yourself."Kai sighed as he massaged his throbbing head. "But Mrs Aleena doesn't seem to trust me because of the plans I mad
Chapter 106: Grayon's BitternessSteve woke up to the noise in the living room. His eyes blink to adjust the light entering his retinas. The man felt exhausted. But fortunately, the pain in his head had improved slightly.He got up from his sleeping position and yawned widely. After a small stretch, Steve walked over and opened the door to find out what the people in the living room were talking about.When he arrived, Steve looked at each person there with a sleepy face. None of them noticed his presence. His brown eyes also turned to Jessy, who was currently clenching her fists while talking about her family being destroyed by the Griffin family. Steve could tell that Jessy was at the peak of her anger, which she managed to disguise well."Would you like to hear my story?"Jessy asked the question. Everyone there was silent, as if waiting for something. They stared at each other. Since no one answered, Steve opened his mouth to speak."Sure."Steve could sense that they were all su
Chapter 107: Meeting Daniel (1)Barbara was pensive while listening to the plan proposed by Jessy. The blond man thought that the plan made by the girl had many gaps and flaws.He glanced at Steve, who was currently thinking the same thing. Not wanting to disappoint the girl, Barbara agreed. Although half-heartedly."Alright. I'll accept your plan."Jessy smiled happily. The aura of anger that had been lingering inside her now disappeared somewhere, as if blown away by the wind. The girl got up from her seat, hopping around like a rabbit."However, it also comes with conditions," Jessy, who had been happy, now showed a dissatisfied face. She looked at Barbara with an annoyed gaze. Her face was scowling with pursed lips."Why do you have to use conditions?" Jessy asked.Barbara glanced at Steve, making eye contact once again. Steve took a deep breath and immediately stepped towards the chair where Jessy was sitting. He put both hands on the girl's shoulders."Because the plan you have
Chapter 108: Meeting Daniel (2)By now, everyone had gathered in the living room. They intended to see the mission Ben had given Jessy. Barbara and his wife sat on the sofa, hugging each other. While the others chose to sit on the floor.Kai, who had just woken up, looked confused to see the people who were there lined up neatly, facing the television that had not been turned on. Out of curiosity, Kai immediately approached them."What are you guys doing?"Kai's question certainly provoked everyone there. They all turned their heads towards the source of the voice with raised eyebrows. Steve smiled a little in response. He patted the floor next to him, indirectly telling Kai to sit down.Kai understood the gesture. He sat down next to Steve and looked at the man with confusion. His amber eyes looked so curious."We want to see the mission that Jessy is running," Terry explained. He wrote something in the notebook he always carried with him. A book that contained many hidden facts and
Chapter 109: Escaped?"Baby, come on, tell me. Who told you to hold Minji, baby?" Daniel strengthened the grip he had on Jessy's hair. Jessy let out a stifled groan. She didn't dare to scream for fear of attracting the attention of many people. Jessy didn't like crowds, and she didn't want to be called a weak girl.The girl winced. Her hand reached out to remove Daniel's hand from her hair. However, the longer she rebelled, the more Daniel would strengthen his grip."Do you want me to let go of this, baby?" Daniel asked in a low, yet piercing tone.He held Jessy from behind with his other hand so that people wouldn't see him as violent.Jessy gave a small nod in reply. Her mouth still emitted a soft moan that sounded so sad. "Yes. Please let me go, Daniel. This hurts.""Like I said, I'll let you go as long as you tell me who's behind Minji's captivity."Daniel paused for a moment to catch his breath. He was also trying to control his emotions so as not to explode and end up harming J
Chapter 110: Crazy Choices Steve rounded his eyes at the photo. He couldn't believe that Daniel would go to such lengths just because of the project he was about to take on. Unconsciously, anger overcame him. Jessy shouldn't be treated like this. Steve glanced at Kai doubtfully. He could see that Kai had a flat face. However, in the gleam of her eyes, Steve could guess that there was great anger there. Those amber eyes seemed to burn, filled with boundless rage."He is crazy," Ivy said after looking at the picture of Jessy on Steve's phone. The girl shook her head, unable to understand Daniel's unpredictable mindset.Steve turned to Ivy with a frown. "What do you mean?"Ivy sighed, then massage the bridge of her nose. Now the dizziness began to spread throughout her head."Like you said, he does everything he can to get what he wants. No wonder you called him cruel. I'm sorry I doubted you, Steve." Ivy continued.Steve sighed and put the phone in his hand on the floor. His forehead
