Chapter 61: Advice

Barbara was silent at the words that came out of Steve's mouth. The man seemed to have a flat expression. The line of his lips looked so straight, as if he had predicted that Steve would ask this.

The man let out a long breath. Then immediately took back the canned beer from the table, gulping it all down in one go without sparing a drop.

"Why do you assume Kai is a bad guy?" Barbara asked back with a furrowed brow.

The man threw the empty can into the trash by throwing it, exactly the same way Terry had done it earlier.

Again, the sound of the can making contact with the trash can created quite a loud noise. Steve even covered his ears because the sound made by the can was too loud for him.

"I know because what he said was very suspicious," Steve said in a steady tone. He looked at his father with a straight gaze.

"And again, I feel that he has other intentions and wants to use me as his pawn," continued Steve, explaining what was in his head. His tone of voice

His gaze also changed, from friendly and unpretentious to a confident gaze with a hint of arrogance in it."Why are you asking like that?" asked Steve in a calm tone. His pupils scanned Daniel from top to bottom without exception, as if he were looking for an opening. This, of course, made Daniel feel uncomfortable. Whether it was his feelings or not, Daniel could feel that Steve had a very dominant aura, which was very different when he was still Minji's husband.Daniel also stared at Steve with a sharp gaze. A sardonic smile played on his lips. "You act like you're a great man with power." Steve furrowed his brow when he heard that sentence. This was outside the context of the previous conversation. Unconsciously, his mouth immediately said it in a low tone. "What do you mean?""You don't understand what

    Chapter 63: DiscordSteve frowned at the words that came out of Terry's mouth. He was surprised that Terry was questioning him about his answers, which was something Terry rarely did to him.However, Steve felt uncomfortable with the tone of voice the man was using. Why did Terry seem to blame him? Was it wrong for him to want to gain knowledge that would make him better than he was before? What was really going on? Was there something he didn't know about X?Steve's focus shifted to Ben's cell phone, which had fallen to the floor, close to his feet. "Ben, your cell phone fell."Steve bent down to pick up Ben's cell phone. Steve could see that the screen was cracked, with lines running vertically across it. Once it was in his hands, he gave the phone to its owner."Here," Steve handed the phone to Ben, who was still staring at it blankly. "Be careful next time. Look, the screen is cracked."Ben immediately accepted the cell phone. His eyes rounded when he realized that the screen looke

His eyes blinked for a few moments, with a strange laugh coming out of his mouth."Dad, you're kidding, right?"Barbara shook his head. His eyes were now refocused on his laptop and the report he had to complete this month. He adjusted his glasses, which seemed to have dropped. "Unfortunately, I'm being serious, Steve."Steve held his breath. His body tensed with a heart that seemed to stop beating. The man even forgot to breathe at this shocking news. "Dad, but why do you want me to work with her?" Steve asked while pointing at the white-haired girl with his index finger."Don't you know that she is one of the traitors who have betrayed our family?"Barbara shifted his eyes from the laptop in front of him to Steve with a flat look. The man put the document he was holding on the table. Then he crossed his arms in front of his chest. Another harsh sigh came from hi

    Chapter 65: Trying to Talk The three men turned their heads towards the source of the sound, precisely to the doorway that had been open for some time. The three of them could see that there was a white-haired girl leaning against it with her arms folded in front of her chest."What do you mean you don't know the reason either?"Ben asked the girl another question. His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles looked white. His jaw tightened until the veins of his neck stood out with his mouth tightly closed. Ben's heterochromia eyes were now staring at the white-haired girl with a sharp gaze. The intimidating aura that Ben had just came out—so dense and so dark. He considered the girl an enemy that needed to be destroyed.The atmosphere became heated in just a few seconds. The air seemed to be so thin that Terry and Steve had trouble breathing. Both of them glanced at each other, looking confused about what to do with the current situation.The white-haired girl gave a small

    Chapter 66: IntentionTerry was a little surprised by the proposal mentioned by Steve. The red-haired man looked stunned for a while, not even blinking his eyes.This, of course, made Steve feel confused. He scratched the back of his head, which was not itchy. Various questions were now swirling in his head.What happened to Terry? Did he say the wrong thing? Or was the advice he gave not suitable for the current situation? Guess what's in Steve's head right now?Out of curiosity, Steve's hand reached out to touch Terry's shoulder. He patted Terry's shoulder gently, trying to bring Terry back to reality."Terry?" called Steve in a low voice.Terry winced in surprise. He turned his head towards Steve, who was currently looking at him with concern. His eyes blinked for a few moments before finally asking."What's wrong?""Why are you silent like that?" asked Steve while raising his eyebrows. "Is the suggestion I just made not something we can do?"Terry shook his head. He stared at St

    Chapter 67: Moral Values Daniel and Layla immediately turned their heads when Barbara returned from outside. Daniel's soot-black eyes did not move an inch from Barbara, who was now sitting back in his chair.Barbara again held the folder containing the cooperation documents that he had to check. Occasionally, he would also take a sip of the coffee that was already available on the table to relieve the drowsiness that was attacking him."Mr. Barbara," Layla again called Barbara in a soft tone. The girl smiled slightly as Barbara turned his focus from the document he was reading to her."How was it? Are you interested in working with the Griffin family?"Barbara let out a tired sigh. The man removed the glasses that had been perched on his nose all morning. His hand reached out to massage his head, which felt dizzy and throbbing."As I said, Miss Layla, I don't-""Can't you consider it one more time?" asked Layla, who immediately interrupted Barbara's speech. The girl knew that what

    Chapter 68: Caught (again)Currently, Jessy is walking through the same corridor. However, this time the corridor she was walking through was no longer as dark as before, after she protested to her brother to increase the lighting in that place.In her hand, Jessy carried a tray of food that her brother had provided. She also carried a backpack that contained some additional supplies, such as toiletries and other necessities.Once in front of the door, Jessy frowned. It happened because she saw that the door was slightly open. Suddenly, her chest was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to burst out of her body. A cold sweat the size of corn kernels broke out from her forehead.Negative thoughts now began to invade his head. Panic and fear began to dominate her. Jessy took a few deep breaths to win herself over."Calm down, Jessy. She must be inside," Jessy mumbled to convince herself that Minji was still there. After calming down, Jessy started to open the door using her f

Kai smiled slyly and put the cell phone she was using back into his pocket. After that, he pulled Steve's hand and walked away from the crowd. Steve looked resigned as his hand was pulled by Kai. The man didn't protest when Kai took him somewhere quite far from the previous point. Kai took him to the side of Rosemary's company garden, which was at the very back. Steve's eyes traveled all over and found that this place was not well maintained. This could be seen from the tall weeds and flowers that looked unkempt. Steve raised his eyebrows as he looked at Kai with a questioning look."Why did you bring me here?"Kai smiled a little as he actively asked such a question. The amber-eyed man was looking up at the sky, which looked quite clear. Since both of them were under a shady tree, the sunlight did not sting t

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

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

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'

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 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

    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
