Chapter 130: After One Year

It 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

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

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

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,

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

The same thing happened to Terry and Steve. "Get the three of you out of here! A vile person like you doesn't belong with the leaders of the company, Mr. Steve," Alexa said angrily.

Her eyes were sparkling, and her gaze was full of pleading. She looked at Steve with her hands clasped in front of her chest."Yes, I beg you. Please be the father of my child. Let's go back to the way we used to be, Steve. I've always dreamed of us being a family again, like-""Stop it there." Steve stopped Minji's words, which were too ridiculous for his ears. He put on a frivolous smile with a sardonic look in his eyes."After you left with another man and are now pregnant, you're asking to get back with me? Have you lost your mind?"Minji's smile now faded, turning into a sad face. Tears now flowed from her eyes again, much more heavily than before. Her sobs sounded so soft and heart-

The autopsy was announced in court, as was prosecuting Minji, who was the suspect in this incident.Steve sat in the chair as a witness. He had left everything to the lawyer hired by Kai. After all, this was the final battle between him and Minji to prove whether she was guilty or not.Behind him, there were many people who came to see the trial. In addition, many of the media were allowed to record this incident since it was an open trial. They were filming this event because Rosemary was one of the most influential figures in the business world (and growing in Steve's hands).Steve felt his heart beating very hard. He hoped that Minji would not appeal the verdict. After the clerk announced the verdict, a 40-year-old woman who represented the forensic doctor, who autopsied the bodies of her father and mother, entered."I am Fela, the forensic doctor who will bear witness to the truth of t
