Chapter 90: Betting Barbara was speechless at the request made by his son. His body jerked in shock with rounded eyes. This was all too sudden for him.However, being a person who could hide his expression well, he changed his expression back to its original flatness in just a few seconds. His mouth formed a straight line with his eyes fixed on Steve."Do I know why you want to stay at Rosemary's resident?" Barbara asked.Steve bit his lip. He didn't want to tell him what his purpose was for staying at his parents' house. His eyes wandered in all directions uncertainly, with body movements that looked uncomfortable."That..."Steve hung up his sentence. He was struggling to come up with an excuse, or at least an excuse, for Barbara. Steve didn't want anyone to know what his purpose was for wanting to stay there, including Barbara.His hands were clenched tightly into fists, and his heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to pop out of its socket. "You don't need to
Chapter 91: Family RelationshipKai walked quickly to the room where Minji was supposed to be held. He clenched his fists tightly. The pounding of his shoes against the floor as he walked echoed through the quiet hallway, making the guards bow their heads.Kai quickly slammed the door in front of him and found Jessy and Archer quietly massaging their heads. The two humans of different genders turned their heads as the door was opened nonchalantly."Kai. Why are you-""How did she run away from here?" Kai interrupted Archer's unfinished speech with a cold tone. His gaze was so piercing, like an ice needle. This made Archer stop his words and choose to glance in the other direction. The atmosphere between the three of them became strange. It felt so awkward and tense. Jessy, who was trapped between the two men, could only let out a long breath."Hey, Kai, sit down first. Calm yourself down and cool your head."Jessy patted the empty bed and invited Kai to sit next to her. Kai didn't r
Chapter 92: Information"The first thing you have to do to convince investors is to create a very strong, detailed business plan."Barbara explained briefly while summarizing what he was going to tell Steve. The goal was to make it easier for him to understand his explanation."You have to think it through, starting with the planning, marketing, the team that will work, and the advantages of our company." Barbara paused his words to see what his son's reaction would be. Because genes never lie, Steve actually listened to his father's explanation seriously. He even wrote down some details that he had to remember and practice later.Seeing his son's earnestness certainly made Barbara smile proudly. The child, who had just met him three months ago, was very different from before. In the past, Steve would prefer to use emotions rather than reason, but now he shows a significant change. Specifically, use reason rather than feelings. That rapid development in such a short time, Barbara ha
Chapter 93: The Plan Daniel was examining some documents on the table. He looked so serious and focused. His eyes did not move from the laptop screen in front of him. His hands also did not stop dancing on the keyboard screen.Glasses with round frames perched on his nose added to his masculine impression. His gaze is sharp and serious, with lips that form a straight line. Overall, Daniel exudes a very strong boss aura.Being too focused on his work, Daniel didn't notice his sister, Layla, enter the room. The girl let out a rough sigh when she saw the eldest of the Griffin family, who seemed to ignore her.Layla sat on the chair in front of Daniel, with a table filled with folders as a barrier. Her eyes looked at Daniel with a flat stare."Daniel," Layla tried to call her brother. But as she had expected, Daniel did not respond at all to her words, as if she were an invisible being."Daniel, please look at me for a moment." Layla called out a second time. Daniel glanced at his eyes
Chapter 94: PartyThe clock struck 8 p.m. The atmosphere of the city center hall was bustling. Crystal chandeliers hung high in the sky, showing how classy the party was.The walls of the hall were deliberately decorated in all gold colors to welcome the head of Kang's company from Korea, who was a leading businessman in the world.He was here to greet all of his future coworkers. In addition, this place is also used as a place to show off and exchange information.Every party guest who came to this place used an all-black dress code, which contrasted with the decorations in this room. They also wore masks that covered half their faces to hide their identities.This was also the case for Terry, Ben, and Steve. The three men were wearing all-black outfits that Barbara had ordered from a famous boutique.Currently, the three of them were in a corner of the room, drinking the juice on the buffet table provided by the event."I didn't expect it to be so crowded," Terry commented upon seei
Chapter 95: Crazy ActionSteve walked with wide strides towards the podium. The noise of his footsteps was drowned out by the crowd shouting at each other, unable to believe what Mr. Kang was saying. Steve sneaked and walked carefully to the podium. Once on the podium, everyone there seemed astonished by Steve's crazy behavior."Excuse me, who are you?" Jake asked. He tilted his head with a raised eyebrow.Steve smiled meaningfully. To be honest, he felt ashamed that he had done something as reckless and crazy as this. But he also wanted to test his limits and face the challenges in front of him head-on.Therefore, Steve approached Jake, who was currently holding the mic, with steady steps."I'm one of Mr. Kang's potential partners."Jake rounded his eyes upon hearing that. He covered his mouth, eyes rounded. "Wow, I didn't expect that someone would dare to come forward to catch Mr. Kang's attention," he exclaimed in a surprised tone. All the guests immediately cheered when they sa
Chapter 96: Meeting in the RestroomTerry rounded his eyes as he heard the confession of Steve, who was still on the podium. The bright red-haired man felt his heart stop beating for a few moments. He rubbed his face, cursing Steve's arbitrary nature.Terry turned his head towards his brother, who was currently wearing a similar expression. The two stared at each other for a few seconds, as if they were telepathic. "Tsk, it turns out he did the plan I had planned without confirming it with both of us," Terry said irritably. The man made an exasperated face. His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. A pitch-black aura was now emanating from his body."That's right,"Ben agreed with his younger brother with a nod of his head. His heterochromia eyes were still staring at Steve, who was currently wearing an innocent face after causing a stir in the hall."Did he forget that the Griffin family might come to this party and back him into a corner? I don't understan
Chapter 97: Certainty"You..."Daniel hung up his sentence. His eyes were perfectly rounded, as if they were about to pop out of place. His body froze for a few moments with a pale face. His mouth felt numb, it was difficult to speak, as if something was holding him back."Mr. Kang?" Steve continued Daniel's unfinished speech. His facial expression was not much different from Daniel's. It's just that Steve's condition is a little pathetic. The corners of his lips were bruised and torn, and his nose was still bleeding."What are you doing here?" Steve said it in a stammering voice. He was so surprised that the star of the party had come here.Mr. Kang ignored the questions Steve asked him. Instead, he entered the restroom, which currently had four young men in it. Two of the male (Terry and Ben) chose to stay in the corner, while the other two, Steve and Daniel, got into an unnecessary fight, with Steve being the victim.His steps were firm. The sound of loafers clashing with the flo
