Chapter 48: Father and Son (2)Currently, Steve and Barbara were at a clothing store a short distance from the office. As a father who served as CEO, Barbara was uncomfortable when he saw Steve's clothes, which looked very shabby. No wonder the man was chased by security because he thought Steve was a beggar.Currently, Barbara was sitting on one of the sofas in the corner of the room in the store. He wanted to make the most of his time working while he waited for Steve to finish choosing the clothes he would wear.The man massaged his head, which felt a little throbbing. The work seemed to be piling up, and he was exhausted. Barbara needed to be able to train Steve as quickly as possible so that he could rest. He also hoped that his son would bring great changes to the company he had worked so hard to start."Ah, this is exhausting," Barbara muttered to himself as he put away the cell phone in front of his eyes. He kept it on the table. The man occasionally closed his eyes, which w
Chapter 49: KaiKai was naturally surprised when Steve found out about his name. He looked at Steve enthusiastically. His hand was stretched out on the table with a big smile etched on his face."Oh, you know my name?" The blond-haired man asked Steve. His free hand corrected the asymmetry of his tie.Steve nodded his head quickly. His eyes seemed to sparkle with a bright luster, full of curiosity."Yeah, I've seen you on TV," Steve replied with a faint smile etched on his lips. "Oh really?" asked Kai in response to Steve's words. "You saw me on TV? On which broadcast?"Steve seemed to think for a while while remembering the name of Chanel that he watched a month ago. He frowned while clenching his fists. However, not a single memory flashed through his head. "I forgot the name of the channel. But I saw you on TV when you just arrived from the airport. Then-,"Barbara cleared his throat softly as Steve spoke. The man also glanced at Steve's hand, giving his son the code. This made S
Chapter 50: Becoming a Villain?Jessy walked into the dark hallway again for the second time. She grumbled a little because her brother was telling her to do this. In her hand, there was a tray filled with food and fruit and a carton of milk.Hesitantly, Jessy turned the door handle. Looking around, she could see that the room was very small and stuffy. The dim lights hanging from the ceiling of the room looked so terrible, giving the impression of horror and also being tense.As soon as Jessy entered, the person in the room immediately turned her body from a lying position to facing Jessy. Her eyes were glassy, and she unconsciously shed tears again. The body shook violently. A soft sob filled the small room. Jessy sighed, then immediately approached the person and patted her shoulder lightly."Hey," Jessy called in a hesitant tone. Her low voice might not have been heard because the woman's sobs dominated the quiet room. "It's time for lunch. Eat a little so that your body is ener
Chapter 51: AccusationsDaniel chose to smoke on the balcony of his room. The man's appearance looked chaotic. His hair was so messy, and his shirt was buttoned up carelessly, making him look like a bad bod.This complicated atmosphere made his head feel heavy. He needed an refreshing so he could rethink this problem and find a solution. Daniel didn't want to get sick because he was too stressed.While he was focused on smoking, the balcony door opened. Daniel thought that it was Jessy, because she liked to come into his room without permission. Daniel felt his heart swell with excitement. He looked back briefly with a happy face. "Jessy?"However, reality was not what he expected. The one who came to the balcony was not his girlfriend, but his youngest sister, Layla.Daniel's face turned as flat as a wall. The look of disappointment was evident in those soot-black eyes. Daniel turned his face to the front again, enjoying the view of the city while taking a drag from the cigarette in
Chapter 52: IvySteve walked irritably towards the library next to Barbara's room. He was unhappy that Terry and Ben seemed to be pushing him away. In fact, in terms of position, his position was much higher than that of the two men.Even more surprisingly, Steve also didn't expect that his father would be silent, watching the dispute without saying a word. This really upset him. Steve felt like scolding them all. But unfortunately, he didn't have that much courage.Steve had already arrived at the room with "Rosemary's library" written on the door. He sighed, then quickly grabbed the door handle and opened the door.However, as soon as the door opened, Steve's brown eyes saw something strange inside. He saw a petite, white-haired girl struggling to reach a book on the top shelf. Steve frowned, feeling familiar with the girl's appearance.Out of curiosity, Steve walked into the room and touched the girl's arm. The girl turned around with a surprised look on her face. The same was true
Chapter 53: PressureSteve was stunned by Ivy's answer. The man rounded his eyes, looking incredulous at what he heard. His body froze for a few moments."Are you saying that these two things have something to do with your betrayal?" Steve asked, confirming what he had heard.Ivy nodded her head quickly. Her index finger pointed at the long earrings as well as the necklace with the eagle pendant in Steve's hand. "That's right. That thing in your hand is the proof.""I mean, how come? Did it fall somewhere when you met him?" He held his head with one hand, flashing a smile that looked strange to see.Ivy shook her head at the question. "No, those two things didn't fall out when I did the "betrayal" of Terry, Ben, and Mrs. Aleena.""So?"Ivy pinned the hem of her shirt. Her gaze looked so scared. Her mouth was locked tightly with her jaw tight, as if she were hiding a terrifying secret. Her body moved uncomfortably, with her pupils moving randomly.Steve closed his eyes. The girl in fro
Chapter 54: X"Aren't you that guy, X?" Steve asked for confirmation, afraid he had the wrong person.The person on the other side was smiling broadly without Steve noticing. "That's right. I'm X, Steve." Steve was surprised that the person contacting him was the one who gave him advice when he was about to unmask Milky. The man almost cheered with joy that someone he admired was contacting him."Ah, I didn't expect someone as busy as you to contact me," Steve said in a happy tone. A big smile was etched on his face.The man smiled a little while adjusting some accessories attached to his body. Then he spoke again."Ah, of course I contacted you because I have some things to tell you." The man paused his words to take a breath. "But before that, why didn't you pick up my call? Did something happen to you? Or did you not keep my number?"The question posed by X made Steve grimace a little. Steve didn't have the man's number because he forgot it. His mind was distracted by kicking Mil
Chapter 55: The Threatening LetterHearing the news that their father had been threatened by HK 0908, Steve and Ben immediately stood up and went straight to Barbara's room, leaving the documents and laptop in the library.Steve entered without knocking, which made the people in the room look at him with a straight face. But Steve ignored that and chose to go straight to his father, who was still sitting in his chair."Dad," Steve called in a quick tone. He stood in front of his father, who was now working on something on his laptop. "What threats did you get from HK 0908?" He asked in a tone of restrained annoyance.Barbara shifted his focus from the laptop to his son standing in front of him. Barbara loosened the glasses perched on his nose and took them off slowly. His hand reached out to massage his throbbing forehead."Calm down, Steve. You'd better take a seat at—""I won't be able to relax as long as HK 0908 continues to terrorize our family," Steve said in a firm tone. He in
