Chapter 79: The Truth (1)Steve frowned as he heard the words that came out of Terry's mouth. His eyes narrowed with a serious look."Did you find a common thread in what he said?" asked Ben quickly, ahead of Steve, who was about to speak."Yes, I found all the threads." Terry smiled slightly, then put the pen he was using between his ears."Only there's still one more thing missing," he continued."What is it?"Terry smiled mysteriously. "A secret. The point is, I still need one more thing to prove everything in this notebook." Terry closed the notebook he often used and put it in his pocket. This provoked curiosity in both Ben and Steve.The two men stared at each other with blinking eyes for a few seconds, as if they were telepaths. After that, Steve and Ben broke their eye contact and looked at Terry with the same, puzzled look."Honestly, i don't understand what you're saying. But can you tell us both what's in the notebook?" Ben asked, trying to persuade his younger brother.H
Chapter 80: The Truth (2)After hearing the words that came out of Ivy's mouth, everyone in the room could only remain silent. They were lost in their own thoughts because of their shock.Steve even opened his mouth wide and didn't blink for a few seconds, with his eyes rounded as if they were about to pop out of place. He couldn't believe that the person who had been helping him was the same person who wanted to destroy his family.The situation became strange and awkward. It felt like the air in this room had disappeared somewhere. No one made a sound. Only the sound of the television on noisily became a help when the silent atmosphere trapped the people who were there."Steve?"Ivy patted Steve lightly on the back of his hand to bring him back to reality. Steve gasped in surprise at the touch. He shook his head and covered his mouth, then directed his attention to Ivy with a strange smile that somehow managed to be etched on his lips."Yes?""Are you okay?" Ivy was more worried ab
Chapter 81: The Talk Barbara was sitting in the guest chair, with a cup of tea and several jars of cookies on the table. It was the perfect time for him to relax after working for more than 14 hours. Coincidentally, his wife was away visiting they son, who was at Ben and Terry's base. So he had some me time all to himself.It was supposed to be the perfect time to relax. However, that plan was ruined when he saw Kai sitting across from him with his face bent. Barbara furrowed his brow, feeling strange about Kai's uninvited presence. It was impolite to tell him to leave. Barbara closed his eyes while letting out a tired sigh."Mr. Kai, I didn't mean to send you away. But why did you come this late?" Barbara said as he massaged his throbbing forehead.Kai was silent for a few moments. He did not reply to the question and chose to stare at Barbara with a sharp gaze. His mouth was locked tightly so that it formed a straight line on his lips.Not getting the desired response made Barbar
Bab 82: Explanation (2)This morning, Steve was already at the office of Rosemary Corp. In the room provided by his father, there were several folders piled up that he had to study and complete.The folders covered the entire surface of the desk, leaving no room except for the laptop he was working on. In addition, the height of the stack of folders was also quite high, about 50 cm.Steve, who was basically sleep-deprived from discussing the plan to "catch Kai," yawned widely. His eyes looked so tired, with faint black eye bags on his face, making him look unrefreshed."Ukh, I'm sleepy," Steve muttered softly. His eyes were closed several times as he typed on the keyboard.Ivy, who was in the same room as Steve, could only let out a long sigh. The girl immediately approached Steve and patted his shoulder, who was almost asleep."Steve, are you okay?" Ivy asked with a worried face. She bit her lip, with her hand clutching the folder she was holding."You look tired. Did you get enough
Chapter 83: Confession (short version)Hearing that, Steve rounded his eyes. His hands were clenched tightly, accompanied by a low growl coming out of his mouth. "Kai," Steve called Kai in a low voice, ignoring the fear that had gripped his body. "Let her go."Kai smiled wryly. His eyebrows rose with a meaningful look, clearly reflected in his amber bead. "Why would I do that?" He challenged."Because she has nothing to do with either of us," Steve replied, trying to remain calm and unruffled. The man took a deep breath to neutralize his emotions, which were about to boil over.Kai chuckled. He immediately got up from his chair and stood next to Steve with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His eyes turned to Ivy, who was currently rebelling within the confines of his two men."But she's the one who made our relationship like this. And you should know I'm not one to forgive someone easily." Kai said it in a flat tone. The change in his expression was drastic. The small laugh di
Chapter 84: Three Points of ViewTerry and Ben arrived at the office at 10:55 a.m. They had just woken up after Barbara told them to come to the office. With sleepy faces, the two went to Rosemary Corp. with the clothes they wore last night."You two look so messy," Barbara commented when saw the two men were in front of him. Barbara was sitting on a chair with his laptop on his lap. He still had to work to finalize some unfinished cooperation agreements.Terry yawned widely with his eyes half closed. He still felt sleepy, even though he had slept until noon. His body still felt tired and exhausted.Meanwhile, Ben himself rolled his eyes lazily. The man let out a rough sigh, then looked at Barbara intensely."Yes, please forgive us for not having time to tidy up our appearance, Mr. Barbara's. We were afraid you would need us. That's why we came here as soon as we could." Ben pulled Terry's hand to sit on the sofa directly opposite Barbara, taking his as his own. Even though Barbara
Chapter 85: Missing!Jessy let out a rough sigh while bending her face. Her lips looked pouty. Her brows were deeply furrowed with puffy cheeks. In her hand, there was now a tray of Italian lunch food, with some fresh fruit and also a large carton of milk on top.Behind Jessy was a shaggy-haired man with an exotic tan who was currently carrying a medium bag filled with clothes. The man wore yellow glasses perched on his nose.At first, the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. The man gave a small whistle as he walked towards his destination. However, the atmosphere was immediately wiped out when Jessy let out her voice."Akh, why do I have to get the job of delivering food to that woman?" Jessy complained in an annoyed tone. The man behind her let out a long sigh with his eyes closed. His feet did not stop walking down the long hallway that connected the room where Minji was detained with the main building."Because you're the only one with leisure time, Miss Jessy," he said nonchalantl
chapter 86: Explanation (3).Hearing Kai's offer made Steve pause. The man was indeed curious about his past, especially how he could be separated from his parents. The reason is that neither his father nor his mother ever mentioned it."Steve?" Kai called in a soft voice. His hand tapped the shoulder of Steve, who was currently silent and focused on his own thoughts. Steve gasped in surprise and immediately centered his focus on Kai, who was currently waiting for his answer."Yes?""What about the offer I made?" Kai gave a sweet smile. He looked deeply at Steve. "Are you interested in hearing about your past from me?"Steve closed his eyes for a moment. He had to make a decision quickly, especially since he still had Ivy to think about."If I may know, how did you find out about my past?" Steve asked hesitantly.Kai pulled the corner of his lips so that the already wide smile became even wider, forming a cruel grin with narrowed eyes. His meaningful expression made a mysterious im
