Chapter 89: The Struggle

Minji continued to run without stopping. A look of fear was clearly visible on her face. She ignored her heart, which was beating fast, as if it were about to burst out of its place. Sweat had already flooded her entire body.

Every now and then, Minji turned her head towards the back to see if anyone was chasing her or not. Fortunately, her brown eyes did not catch anyone back there.

Exhausted, Minji decided to rest for a while. She leaned her body against a sturdy-looking tree trunk.

The tree was so shady, making Minji feel relaxed, even if only for a moment. Her chest felt very tight from being forced to do activities that she rarely did. She drew in her ravenous breath.

"Thank goodness, they didn't chase me."

Minji breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately sat up and joked. Her clothes were soaked with sweat. Minji enjoyed the wind that was now caressing her face.

She noticed that her feet were full of wounds, considering that she had not worn any footw

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.

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?

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

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

    Chapter 133: Media Play (1)All the guests whispered to each other after hearing Daniel's words. Some of them even gave Steve a cynical look at the event. 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

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
