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
Chapter 104: Hidden Facts (1)Before hearing what Dr. Lee had to say, Kai ran straight to Steve's room. Without warning, he broke down the door of the room, making a loud noise. Steve, who was just about to fall asleep, opened his eyes again.Steve glanced at the door, where Kai was still standing. His eyes blinked briefly before closing again.Seeing Steve, who didn't show much reaction, made Kai anxious. He also walked into the dark, purple-haired man's room without excuse. Once in front of Steve, who was currently lying down, Kai seemed to think for a moment."Steve?" Kai gently shook Steve's arm, intending to wake the man from his slumber. His amber eyes could tell that Steve was currently stifling an annoyed groan as he disturbed his sleep.Kai chuckled. Even so, in the corner of his heart, he felt a huge sense of guilt. On top of that, he also had to bear the hurt that he had been harboring for so long. The man sighed softly, then took Steve's hand and held it."I'm sorry that
Chapter 105: Hidden Facts (2)Aleena closed her eyes for a moment. She couldn't understand what Kai, the man who had destroyed her family's business, was saying. Her hands were now clasped around her waist, with a face full of annoyance but also high curiosity. "What do you mean?" Aleena asked in a low voice, breaking Kai's revelation."Why am I the one you're talking about?" She said this, pointing at herself.Kai sighed, then looked back at his sister, who was now looking the other way. "Jessy, you better tell Mrs. Aleena what I mean. She doesn't know anything about this incident."Jessy shook her head. She still didn't want to look at Kai and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her mind was still focused on other things. Besides, she was in a pretty bad mood. She didn't want to worsen the already murky atmosphere."I don't want to. You'll have to explain yourself."Kai sighed as he massaged his throbbing head. "But Mrs Aleena doesn't seem to trust me because of the plans I mad
Chapter 106: Grayon's BitternessSteve woke up to the noise in the living room. His eyes blink to adjust the light entering his retinas. The man felt exhausted. But fortunately, the pain in his head had improved slightly.He got up from his sleeping position and yawned widely. After a small stretch, Steve walked over and opened the door to find out what the people in the living room were talking about.When he arrived, Steve looked at each person there with a sleepy face. None of them noticed his presence. His brown eyes also turned to Jessy, who was currently clenching her fists while talking about her family being destroyed by the Griffin family. Steve could tell that Jessy was at the peak of her anger, which she managed to disguise well."Would you like to hear my story?"Jessy asked the question. Everyone there was silent, as if waiting for something. They stared at each other. Since no one answered, Steve opened his mouth to speak."Sure."Steve could sense that they were all su
