Chapter 25: Discussion

Aleena could not answer Steve’s question. Her tongue felt numb, as if something was holding her throat.

The words in her head could not be conveyed. The woman was speechless with empty eyes. Her anger seemed to have disappeared, replaced by confusion.

Seeing that, Steve knew something was wrong here. He dragged his feet, wanting to approach Aleena, who seemed to be frozen in place. However, he had to postpone his intention when he saw the door of the secret room wide open.

Steve could see that the white-haired woman’s appearance was a mess. Her eyes looked puffy, with traces of tears printed on her cheeks. Her nose was red, and the corners of her lips looked hurt. In addition, the woman’s hair looked messy.

Just as Steve was about to open his mouth, the white-haired woman walked with wide strides towards the outside without turning her head back.

Steve could only sigh as the woman’s back moved further and further out of sight, until she disappeared behind a b

    Chapter 26 : Guilty?By now, Steve, Ben, and Terry were already at Terry and Ben's secret base behind the alley. The three men had just returned from Rosemary's residence after discussing the items they had recovered from the burned fabric factory.Steve laid down on Terry's bed while blocking his eyes with his arm. He felt extremely tired after his first mission, which was certainly not smooth sailing and was very hard.He remembered his last conversation with Aleena about his question. She had avoided him on the grounds that she had a check-up with the doctor and had not had time to answer his questions. This, of course, made his heart unhappy."Are you still upset that Mrs. Aleena didn't answer your question?" Asked Ben as he approached Steve, who was now on his brother's bed. He laid down next to Steve."If you know, it's better not to ask," Steve replied in an annoyed tone. The man grumbled in a quick tone, like he was rapping. Ben could only chuckle at Steve's childish behavior

    Chapter 27: Consequences Steve was speechless at the answer that came out of Terry's mouth. His eyes were rounded by a heart that seemed to stop beating. His face looked pale, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead. "What? My life?"The look on Terry's face was not joking. Instead, the man's face showed more seriousness than before. "Yes. Your life. Did I say something wrong?"Steve shook his head quickly while laughing awkwardly. He shifted his gaze in another direction so as not to meet Terry's gaze, who seemed to be waiting for his answer. "Terry, this joke is not funny."Terry raised his eyebrows. His lips formed a straight line, and his eyes looked intensely at Steve. "Joke?""Yes, a joke." Steve replied quickly. His voice sounded nervous, and he stuttered. "You must be joking that if I betray you, then life is at stake. Tell me you're joking, Terry."Terry pulled the corners of his lips up so wide that his eyes narrowed. That wide smile looked terrifying, as if it were warn

    Chapter 28: RejectionA woman with long black hair walked with wide strides into a room in Rosemary's residence. In her hands, there were several thick documents. The sound of the stomping of her heels echoed in the quiet hallway.Once in front of the door that read "Barbara's room," the dark-haired woman immediately stretched out her hand to knock on the door quite loudly."Come in."As soon as she got the order, the girl immediately opened the door and walked back into Barbara's room. Barbara was now sitting at the table, sipping coffee with his right hand. She bowed respectfully for a moment and straightened up."What's wrong, Jessy?" Barbara asked without taking his eyes off the window.The woman called Jessy immediately opened one of the top folders and handed it to Barbara. "There's something you should see, sir."Barbara set his coffee cup on the table and took the document the woman handed him. He read it carefully before finally speaking up."The Griffin family wants to work

The bright red-haired man immediately got up from the chair and walked away from the dining table. A streak of disappointment and annoyance was clearly drawn on his face.However, before Terry exited the headquarters, a voice from Ben stopped him in his tracks. "Where are you going?"Terry turned to his brother without showing any meaningful expression on his face. "I'm going out. I want to smoke a cigarette and calm down," he replied briefly, reluctant to say more."Are you sure you're just relaxing?" Ben asked in a doubtful tone. "You're not going to do anything stupid like "that incident," are you?" Terry smiled slightly as he let out a long breath. "I won't do that again, Ben. I really want to smoke. So don't be afraid, okay?"After saying that, Terry walked out of the base without looking back. Once Terry's back was out of sight, Ben sighed as he

    Chapter 30: The CallBefore we knew it, two weeks had passed. By this time, Ben, Terry, and Steve were getting closer to each other. The three of them have started to adapt to each other's traits and habits.For example, Terry likes sports and is a meat maniac. Ben doesn't like food that has tomatoes in it. Steve himself likes all food, especially bread.In addition, Steve's leg has also completely healed due to Terry's treatment. The purple-haired man no longer needs to use a cane to walk wherever he wants.Currently, the three of them were in the living room, watching a program on television while enjoying the day off. The three of them sat neatly lined up on one of the long sofas that Ben often used for sleeping. The order from the left side was Terry, Steve, and then Ben."Haha, that woman keeps falling into the host's trap," Ben commented, pointing at the woman on the television. He continued to laugh until the skin on his stomach cramped."That's right. I feel sorry for her beca

    Chapter 31: DNA Test (2)"So, how did it go, Marshall? What did the letter say about Steve?" Aleena asked impatiently. Her thin hand shook Marshall's hand a little quickly.Marshall flashed a faint smile. He quickly let go of Aleena's hand when he saw Barbara staring at him."I'll tell you guys, especially you, Aleena."Marshall paused his words for a moment as he looked deeply into Aleena's face before turning his gaze in another direction. "But you sit quietly so that I won't be burdened with this responsibility. Okay?"Aleena looked dissatisfied with Marshall's appeal. However, she chose to relent, holding back the excitement that welled up in her chest. Soon, all the lost and hidden veils will be revealed here.Marshall glanced at Steve, Terry, and Ben, who were still standing by the door. "You three, better sit on this chair so I can focus more on reading the results of the letter.”Terry looked at Ben as if he were telepathic. After that, the two men chose to move and sit on the

    Chapter 32: Rejection (2)"Do I deserve to call you father, Mr. Barbara?"The question that Steve asked made the room that had been noisy now become silent in an instant. The hushed whispers of the servants, who had been excited by the news of the discovery of Rosemary's heir, instantly vanished. They looked at each other with a strange feeling. The atmosphere of this room turned awkward, tense, and also tense. Realizing that the atmosphere had changed too quickly, Barbara, who was in front of Steve, cleared his throat softly, trying to break the tense atmosphere. However, it didn't seem to be enough, as everyone there was still keeping their mouths shut."Steve." Barbara called Steve's name in a heavy voice. The man's deep blue eyes met Steve's brown ones. "Yes?""To be honest, you still don't deserve to call me father."Everyone in the room, including Steve, was dumbfounded by the sentence that came out of Barbara's mouth. They rounded their eyes with bated breath. Steve made a

    Chapter 33: Hidden Intentions (1)"Minji, I'm sorry you had to get involved in this." Minji stared intently at the man. Her mouth was gagged by a cloth, making her unable to say anything. In addition, her body was tied to the chair she was sitting on. Her hands and feet were also tied in order to prevent her from escaping. This made her unable to move freely.Minji let out a small groan in reply. Unclear words came out of her mouth. Only saliva dripped from between the cloths that held her mouth.This certainly made the man feel happy because Minji's expression was adorable in his eyes. That angry look full of emotion amused him, as if he were watching a soap opera he often watched."Why didn't you say anything?" The man asked another question with a mocking face. A second later, the man closed his mouth with a made-up, shocked face. "Oh, I forgot that your mouth was covered by a cloth. Please forgive my carelessness, Minji."An emotional, Minji immediately moved her body to rebel.

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

    Chapter 137: Tactics (2)Terry frowned at the words of the detective. He folded his arms in front of his chest, his hands staring straight ahead.His mind was now thinking hard. How could the culprit have been found? What evidence has been found? The thoughts kept spinning in his head endlessly, making him dizzy himself.Terry turned his attention to Ben, who was now frowning. The man with heterochromia eyes looked silent, as if he were analyzing the situation in this house.“What do you mean, sir?” asked Ben quickly, representing Terry’s question, who was about to ask the same question.The detective smiled faintly at Terry and Ben. “Yes, the culprit has been found. I just need additional evidence to support it.”“That fast?” asked Steve in an incredulous tone. He rounded his eyes, unable to believe what he had just heard.His heart seemed to stop beating as his face paled. Was the detective in front of him playing games with him? Or was he telling the truth? Because, as he rememb

They stared at each other before finally turning their faces the other way."You want me to be the father of the child inside your stomach?" Steve asked to be sure.Minji nodded her head quickly. 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-

    Chapter 135: She's backAfter a long debate with Mr. Kang, Steve decided to just go back to America with Terry and Ben. And here he was, in an airport full of people.After getting their suitcase, the three men quickly made their way out. They had missed the country so much. Fun plans were already running through their brains.Steve inhaled the air greedily, with a small smile on his lips. He was very happy to be back in the country, although on the other hand, he felt a little bad that Mr. Kang had to take care of the rest of his work.As he was about to get a taxi, someone suddenly tugged on the hem of his shirt. Steve turned around to see who it was.His eyes were perfectly rounded, as if they were about to pop out of place. In addition, his heart seemed to stop beating, with his body frozen like a statue. He couldn't believe the person in front of him."Hello, Steve." Steve immediately took the body tightly into his arms. He buried his head on her shoulder. Steve's breathi

    Chapter 134: Tactics (1)Steve blocked the tomatoes and cake thrown at him with his hands. The three men had no other means of protecting their bodies from the fury of the crazed audience, just because of Daniel's provocative sentence.Once the tomatoes and cakes on the buffet table were gone, the guests stood still, staring at the three men with disgust, cynicism, and hatred. Steve lifted his head from the folds of his hands, protecting his face, and looked at his own body.His body was so dirty, covered in cream and crushed tomatoes. 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. She clenched her fists with a glare at Steve."Ms. Alexa, I-""Get out of here!" Alexa shouted loudly. She grabbed Steve's hand and pushed him hard, knocking him to the ground. Again, Steve felt a sense of dejavu, just like when he was humiliated by Daniel at Layla'

    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

    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,

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 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
