You said you wanted to talk right?" Graha

Ruelle immediately hurried after Dennis, perplexed by how he suddenly shelved away the looming threat from Rico. What could be more important than dealing with the psychopathic man?Dennis had been processing the entire news in his head and could feel his head spinning around. He figured that if Ivan would not cough up any relationship he had with Rico, then he'd just have to find another way to find it out from him.This was starting to get a little tricky. Dennis felt that he needed to talk to Apiu Signh in advance and arrange in preparation for the engagement party where he'd make his reveal and make Margaret wish she'd never sent Ivan after himAs Dennis strode out of the office, all the employees walking in the hallway immediately turned and headed in the opposite direction.

The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Shocking Reveal
"You look surprised to see me Dennis" Diana said and strode towards the office couch, sat on it and crossed her legs relaxingly"Who is she?" Ruelle askedDennis ignored her question, turned to Diana, and asked in a Stern voice "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be halfway across Europe by now?"Immediately Diana's face darkened in irritation. She growled indignantly, turned to Ruelle and said in an indifferent tone "Darling, be a dear and pour me a glass of wine. It seems Mr Apollo left his courtesies in England"Ruelle scoffed and smirked mischievously, she then turned to Dennis and said "Dennis you have one minute to tell me who this woman is before I rip her throat out", Dennis sighed, already tired. Diana was here and in less than ten minutes, he was already dragged into her drama. It was this very reason, he could not be with a woman like that.At this moment, he walked towards the shelf, brought out a bottle of wine and glass, and marched towards Ruelle. He seemed to be f

"What do you mean you're on my board?" Dennis asked with a frown on his face"Tsk tsk, proudful and so short-sighted as ever. You're not the only one with friends in high places Dennis Apollo" Diana repliedThe way she spoke about him, Ruelle could not help but wonder if she knew his real secret. Was that why Dennis was being strangely nice to this rather rude lady?If they had truly been intimate back in college, was it possible that Dennis revealed his identity to her? Ruelle wondered. Whatever the answer to that question was, she understood one thing, that Diana posed a threat and should be regarded as such.Dennis's face slowly darkened in irritation. The friendly demeanor he gave off earlier instantly disappeared. He was right about Diana, this wasn't any casual visit, there were some underlying motives and the quicker he found out what those were, the better it was for him.Diana saw the puzzled look on Dennis's face as he struggled to piece together the pieces and chimed in"

Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face

The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?"

The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway. It was your boss, Victor, you should be investigating instead" Deshaun said, then leaned closer and added"Maybe Victor found out that his partner Jon was trying to pull one over him and decided to kill him",Mark was stunned, he did not want to believe what Deshaun was suggesting, but before he could even express his shock.

"How did this happen?" Deshaun repeated walking towards Dennis"I don't know what happened. He said some things about my mother, which was the last thing I could remember. I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

He had a good impression he knew what this was about. Afterall he was the one on the call with JonWhen Deshaun and the cops must have arrived at Mariner Bay tracing the signal, they would have realized that there were just tracing a fake signalIf that happened, knowing Deshaun, he would assume that Dennis must have known so

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense. Still, he was grateful she had recognized Jon for who he truly was and had a change of mindSuddenly, a door behind him opened.It was Victor, he was about to head towards the elevator when he noticed a familiar figure as soon as he left

This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you
