Chapter 127: The Mystery of the Red WritingTerry let out a rough sigh as he noticed an irregularity in the financial planning file. The writing was very strange to him. Fight or escape? What did it mean? His brain was now thinking hard, trying to connect and figure out the context of the red writing. However, as far as he thought, his mind would come to a dead end . Terry couldn't find it.Since his curiosity had not been quenched, Terry reached into his pocket, taking out the white rubber gloves he always carried."Gloves? Why are you carrying that?" asked Steve in surprise. Of all the things, why did Terry take out the glove to solve this oddity?"You'll find out later. Just watch."Terry didn't say much. He chose to continue with his activities. Once the glove was attached to his hand, Terry quickly snatched the file from Steve's hand. This naturally took the dark purple-haired man by surprise."Hey, what are you doing?"Terry didn't answer the question. His eyes remained
Chapter 128: Suspicious?Flo laughed discordantly at Mr. Kang's question. She smiled a little and extended her hand, releasing Mr. Kang's hand from her chin with a gentle gesture."I do still love Daniel. I admit it, sir," Flo said in a low voice. She let out a long breath and glanced at Mr. Kang. The middle-aged man's expression looked very cold."But I haven't contacted Daniel since we broke up. So what makes you think that Daniel and I worked together to “stab” you?" Flo continued with a question at the end of her sentence. Her voice was soft yet demanding at the same time.Mr. Kang did not answer the question. He chose to cross his arms over his chest with a cold expression. His lips were locked tightly together, forming a straight line. The look in his eyes was so straight that Flo couldn't guess. His mind seemed to be somewhere else.Seeing Mr. Kang's lack of reaction made Flo a little frustrated. There was a sense of resentment when Mr. Kang accused her of betraying him for his
Chapter 129: Calming DownTerry shook his head, then immediately lay down on the other sofa with his eyes closed, as if avoiding the questions asked by Steve.Feeling ignored, Steve got up from his chair and approached the man. He shook Terry's arm vigorously enough for the man to open his eyes.However, the wish did not come true. Terry was still faithfully closing his eyes. This led to an imaginary placement being created above Steve's head."Terry!" called Steve with a shout big enough to echo in this quiet room. Ben was even woken up by the shout."I know you're not sleeping. Ask my question, or I'll flush your face with water from the toilet," he continued in a threatening tone.Ben, who felt disturbed, rubbed his eyes. He looked at Steve with tired eyes. His mouth was wide open as he yawned."Hoam, what happened, Steve?" asked Ben with his eyes half-closed. His hair looked a little messy, and his head felt dizzy because he woke up suddenly."Why are you yelling? You're i
Chapter 130: After One YearIt had been one year since Steve had been in Korea for the construction of the hotel project. The incident in the back garden, where Mr. Kang did not answer his questions, had frustrated Steve until now.By now, he was fluent in Korean. He can even read and write Hangul without Flo's help anymore. He even has his own Korean name. Tae-hyun. Sounds cool, right?Right now, he is at the office. As usual, he is taking care of all the things related to the hotel construction, which is already 80 percent complete. In a little bit, the hotel he's working on will be finished. And he could go home to his country.While he was focused on his laptop, someone knocked on the door from outside. Steve stopped what he was doing and said it in a fairly loud voice."Come in!"A man appeared at the door. He was wearing all black, with a casual appearance. A short black T-shirt printed his athletic body. Black jeans paired with sneakers. In addition, his blonde hair, whic
Chapter 131: Like Heaven and Earth Kai was silent for a few moments. His eyes were perfectly rounded, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His face looked so pale, like paper. His mouth was slightly open, but he didn't say anything, as if something were holding his tongue. His heart seemed to stop beating. His mind was suddenly blank, as was the look in his eyes. Feeling something was wrong, Steve gently patted the back of Kai's hand. "Kai?" Steve called out in a slightly louder voice to wake Kai up from his reverie. Apparently, it worked. Kai was stunned and looked at Steve with blinking eyes a few times, gathering the consciousness that had been scattered. "Yes?" He said it spontaneously. "Why are you daydreaming?" asked Steve with a deeply furrowed brow. His tone of voice showed that he was annoyed, which was very different from before, when he was so friendly and warm. "Why are you being quiet? Please answer my question, Kai. I want to know what you're h
Chapter 132: Covert Warning Steve was frozen in place. He couldn’t believe that his two colleagues had gotten on such a mission. His eyes shifted in another direction, reluctant to meet Kai, who was currently waiting for a reaction from him.“Who proposed the mission to them?” asked Steve, trying to remain calm. His voice sounded flat, contrary to the state of his heart, which wanted to blame his best friend.Kai sighed. He bit the candy in his mouth until it crumbled and swallowed it slowly. After his mouth was clean, Kai coughed a little. He wanted to create a serious atmosphere between himself and Steve.“Mr. Kang and I planned this,” Kai replied in a low voice. His gaze was still fixed on Steve, though the man was reluctant to look at him.“But why?” Steve massaged the bridge of his throbbing nose, feeling clueless about everything that was happening.“What are you bothering the Griffins for? Didn’t they do anything to the Grayon family and Kang Corp this time?”Kai glared
Chapter 133: Media Play (1)All the guests whispered to each other after hearing Daniel's words. Some of them even gave Steve a cynical look at the event. The praise they had just given him seemed to have been taken back. In other words, they are licking their own saliva.Seeing the situation turning against him, Terry gritted his teeth. His jaw clenched so tightly that his neck veins stood out. His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His eyes were bulging, and a dark, black aura now surrounded his body, making the few people who were there step aside because they couldn't stand the dark aura. Let's not forget the dominant demeanor that was getting thicker and thicker around him, making Terry ten times scarier than before.Beside him, Steve and Ben looked quite panicked to see Terry, who was in alert mode. They were both trying to quell the anger of the red-haired man. Steve and Ben stroked Terry's back gently, trying to calm his hot-blooded heart."Terry,
Chapter 134: Media Play (2)Daniel smiled happily as more people walked into his trap. His sooty black eyes were still focused on Steve, who was currently rounding the corner. He felt victorious because he had managed to make the man feel cornered.Daniel picked up the mic again, brought it closer to his mouth, and spoke again to make another provocative sentence."I have proof that Steve did that. Do you want to see it?"Again, there was silence for the second time. The audience was shocked by the words that came out of his mouth. "Don't you believe me? I really have proof." Daniel opened his mouth again. He made his tone persuasive so that the audience would believe what he said.The platinum-haired girl, who had been speaking, fell silent. Her mouth opened, and a look of doubt now overcame her. From that alone, the woman who had been supporting Steve now began to have doubts about what she believed in."You must be joking if you have proof." The platinum-haired woman uttered the
