Chapter 37: Change (1)Icarus stared sarcastically at the white-haired girl in front of him. After being caught trying to escape, the man who worked as the Rosemary family's head of security immediately secured Milky for interrogation."Well, Milky. It looks like you know where you're going, doesn't it?"Milky looked at Icarus with a frightened face. She felt that her throat felt very dry. The white-haired girl gulped her saliva forcefully as Icarus shot her an angry glare. Milky glanced towards the back, precisely towards Steve, who was currently still holding the light blue wig he had been wearing. Milky bit her lip, cursing inwardly how unlucky she was today."Don't think too much, Milky. These are the consequences of breaking the unwritten 'rules' of this house." Icarus spoke up again, breaking the white-haired girl's reverie. The man immediately grabbed Milky's hand and dragged her out of the dining room. Milky tried to rebel, but her strength was no match for Icarus'. Icarus
Chapter 38: Interrogation Currently, Terry, Ben, and Steve are in the interrogation room at Rosemary's residence. Actually, this room was inside the security room, which was adjacent to the CCTV room.The interrogation room had a much narrower space with very minimal lighting. Here, Milky sat in the same position, hands and feet cuffed.The light was directed above her head, making Milky look like a murder suspect. The girl lowered her head so that her bangs covered her pretty face."Well, Milky, we're going to start the interrogation. I hope you'll cooperate with us." Steve opened the conversation to make the hushed and tense atmosphere less pronounced in the stuffy room.Milky lifted her face as she chuckled. She looked at Steve with an amused gaze, as if she were watching a comedy movie. The sound of Milky's laughter echoed through the room, creating a sense of horror and dread. Steve raised his eyebrows when he heard Milky laughing like a madman. The man frowned in surprise. Wa
Chapter 39: About HK 0908"HK 0908, you say?" Steve repeated Milky's words in a surprised tone.Milky nodded her head weakly. She lowered her head, reluctant to look at Steve, who was currently glaring at her."Yes, he was the one who told me to get into this family and infiltrate as a servant," Milky said in a very low voice, almost a whisper if Steve couldn't hear her well.Steve shook his head slowly. He had no idea that the main perpetrator of this infiltration was the same person who had set fire to his parents' fabric factory. A very unexpected plot twist.Steve shifted his focus again and looked at Milky, who was still faithful to keeping her face down. Steve's hand reached out to touch Milky's chin, gripped it slightly, and lifted her up so that she could meet his gaze.Steve could see that there was a ripple of fear clearly printed on the girl's face. He could feel that Milky's body was shaking violently now."Steve, is there something wrong with...""Can you tell me who HK 0
Chapter 40: Two problems"Daniel, have you found out where Minji is?"Daniel, who was focusing on the cell phone in his hand, stopped his activities. He let out a small groan as his activity was interrupted. His head looked up lazily. His sooty black eyes seemed to focus on the one object that had just engaged him in conversation. His eyebrows were furrowed, and a deep frown was printed on his forehead. "No, I still haven't gotten any information on Minji," he said quietly.The man let out a long sigh. He glanced at the window that displayed the flickering lights of the towering buildings outside.His hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette from inside. He began to light the nicotine-fueled object and took a slow drag."Dad, this is not a smoking area," Daniel admonished in a low tone. "If you want to smoke, please go outside. I don't want my workspace to smell of tobacco."The man, who was Daniel's father and the head of the Griffin family, let out a long sigh. He se
Chapter 41: FaintJessy stepped slowly and carefully through the hallway to get to her destination. The dim light of the lamp hanging overhead, coupled with the sound of her footsteps echoing throughout, gave the impression of horror and suspense.Jessy repeatedly had to forcefully gulp down her saliva and rub the back of her neck. Her body seemed to tremble slightly every time her eyes caught something that felt odd in every dark corner. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to burst out of its socket. This was no different from the gut test back in middle school.Jessy ignored that and kept walking while fighting her fear. It only took a few more steps to reach the door at the other end.Her journey was over. She had arrived at the door. Jessy breathed a sigh of relief that her terrifying journey was finally over. She knocked a little loudly on the door in front of her."Come in."After getting instructions from the person inside, Jessy's hand was now on the
Bab 42: ArcherNow, the four men were at a cafe close to the city park. Steve, Terry, and Ben chose a more private place to chat.The 4 cups of strong coffee with the slices of bread on the plate look so tempting, it will increase the appetite of anyone who sees it. However, this was not the case for the four of them. Because, in fact, Steve, Terry, and Ben were staring at the man with suspicious eyes."So, can you explain who you are?" asked Steve to open the conversation after a long silence.The person who had met him at the city park at 5.53 started to open the hood that was blocking his face. As soon as the hood he was wearing was completely open, a brown-haired man in a navy blue shirt, paired with long black pants, appeared.That person had almond-shaped eyes and tan skin that looked so exotic. Most strikingly, the man was wearing bright yellow glasses that contrasted with his appearance.The man nodded his head. He immediately touched the coffee cup in front of him and took
Chapter 43: FeedBarbara walked with wide strides towards the room at the end of the hall. At the moment, it was noisy, with lots of footsteps. The chatter of workers passing by was a common sight in the office he had set up. Coincidentally, Barbara was visiting Rosemary's downtown headquarters.His face looked so flat. His eyes looked very sharp, as if they were about to tear into prey. His lips formed a straight line, making it hard to smile. In his right hand, Barbara carried a black briefcase containing several important documents. Coincidentally, there were some investors who wanted to invest in his company. Therefore, he, who was used to working at home, immediately came here to hold a meeting."Good morning, sir." As he walked to his office, Barbara could hear his employees trying to greet him.However, Barbara chose to ignore them and kept walking to his room, which was only a few steps away.Once in front of the dark brown teak door, Barbara reached out his hand to grab th
Chapter 44: Hidden Patterns "Pattern?"Terry frowned at the words that came out of Steve's mouth. His chewing on the bread he was eating came to an abrupt halt.Terry centered his focus on Steve. He looked at the dark, purple-haired man with an intense gaze. His facial expression looked so serious, with a straight lip line. Terry rested his chin on the back of his hand like a detective questioning a suspect."What pattern are you referring to, Steve?" asked Terry in a serious tone."Can you explain it to me? Because I don't see the correlation between the things you just mentioned," Terry added as he swallowed the remaining bread in his mouth.Steve smiled a little at that. No wonder Terry looked confused like that. Indeed, it would be quite difficult to find the pattern of HK 0908 if one couldn't read what game was being played.Steve leaned towards Terry, who had moved his seat from the side to face him, so that the distance between them was quite close. The expression on his face
