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
Chapter 98: BlameSteve had been secured by Ben and Terry from the party hall. By now, all three were in the car. They agreed to go home first before the party was over.Right after the three of them were in the car, the rain poured mercilessly on the earth. The strong wind and the sound of thunder above made the night worse. Luckily, Steve was already in the car, so he wouldn't be caught in the rain.Steve sat in the back seat, while Terry was in the driver's seat. As for Ben, he sat in the passenger seat, right next to Terry.Before starting the car, Terry immediately turned around to see how Steve was doing. He grimaced slightly when he saw blood still dripping from Steve's nose."Steve, do you want to go to the hospital first?" Terry offered."No need. Let's just go home. I have to tell you guys something," Steve refused outright. His eyes now turned to the window, watching every drop of water that fell from the sky.Ben sighed. He too turned to look at the purple-haired man. "Why
Chapter 99: Hidden Facts Aleena took a deep breath. To be honest, she didn't want to tell her son this. However, seeing Steve blind to information was not the right thing to do either. Therefore, Aleena approached her son and gently stroked his back."I'll tell you what I mean. But will you promise me one thing?"Steve frowned at his mother's words. His eyes showed curiosity. However, at some point, fear began to creep into the corner of his heart."I promise." Steve nodded his head, agreeing with his mother.Aleena took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to brace herself and mentally strengthen herself. When she felt it was enough, she opened her voice."Look, there's a reason why Terry said what you did was very rash." Aleena paused her words to see how her son would react. And as she expected, Steve had no reaction whatsoever. Steve chose to wait for the rest of his mother's words."If you openly reveal his identity like that, we could be attacked by various parties, especi
Chapter 100: The Cold War Steve smiled at the question that came out of his mother's mouth. "You'll see, Mommy. Just watch and see how I turn things around."Terry pulled the corner of his lips, forming a small grin with narrowed eyes. "Oh, what kind of plan do you have in your head?"Steve shifted his gaze to Terry. He didn't say much and chose to maintain his smile. In the eyes of others—especially those who didn't know him yet—Steve's smile looked so gentle and soothing.However, to people who already knew him, Steve's smile was no doubt like the smile of death, ready to strike without mercy. Terry knew it well because he had witnessed it many times."Well, I'm waiting to see what the plan is. Because, to be honest, I'm a little curious and a little skeptical too," said Ben, who wrapped his arms around Ivy's stomach.Ben's words made Steve's smile fade instantly. The corners of his lips dropped, along with his eyebrows. "What do you mean, you don't trust my abilities?"Ben shrugge
Chapter 101: Minji's Condition Currently, Minji was in a luxurious room belonging to someone who had saved her yesterday. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Coincidentally, Jessy was trying on a light blue dress with a swan on the bottom. The dress covered her body up to her knees, with an asymmetrical cut that looked so anti-mainstream yet beautiful at the same time.The woman twisted her body, causing the dress to lift up. Her long hair seemed to follow the movement of her body. Minji laughed happily. It had been a long time since she had felt this feeling after getting out of that horrible place."It's a good thing I escaped from that place." Minji muttered under her breath. She turned her head toward the window behind her, which showed a beautiful view of the forest, despite the cloudy sky."If I were still there, I might have been used as a tool by that person. Or maybe he would have tortured me even more than before," Minji continued as she shuddered in horror, imag
Chapter 102: Behind the Relationship Jessy looked confused when she saw Daniel's name on her messaging app. This was very strange because Daniel doesn't usually send messages like this. He preferred to call her."This is weird," Jessy said in a quiet voice."What do you mean?" asked Ivy, who was next to her with her eyebrows raised, showing a look of confusion."Daniel wouldn't normally send a message like this. Usually, he would call me." Jessy revealed what she was thinking to everyone in the room."Is his cell phone being used by someone or something?" She muttered, who was currently overthinking."I don't think so." Ben made his comment in a low, husky tone. His mouth was still busy munching on the pizza he shared with Ivy."What do you mean?" Jessy asked in a confused tone while tilting her head."As a man, I can read his mind. He probably misses you but doesn't want to bother you with a phone call. That's why-"Ben's voice was cut short by the sound of Jessy's cell phone ring
Chapter 103: Unexpected Events "Jungkai? So you are-"Steve stopped his words when he felt his head hurt, like it was pierced by needles. The man immediately closed his eyes. His hands were above his head, with a soft hiss coming out of his mouth.This certainly drew the attention of everyone there. Barbara as the father immediately walked over to his son. He was worried when he saw Steve, who felt so painful and helpless, like now."Oh my God, what happened to his face?" Barbara asked as he realized that Steve's face was a mess. The corners of his lips looked bruised and torn, and his nose was slightly red from bleeding."Why did I just realize it?" Barbara asked, feeling sorry for himself.Aleena took a deep breath. She stood next to Barbara. "Don't think about it, Barbara.""But-""I've called Dr. Lee to come here," Ben said it in a panicked tone while holding his cell phone. Apparently, the man was dexterous enough and could still think clearly enough to call the doctor. He move
