Jurgen entered Gaston’s room.

Thankfully, there is no CCTV around his room.

He held the doorknob, twisted it and went inside. Everyone was busy in the party so no one would notice that he’s loitering around Gaston’s room.

Jurgen went straight to the small bathroom.

“Something I can use is…”

He grabbed Gaston’s toothbrush.

“This.”

If Jurgen wanted to pretend to be John's son, he needs evidence to prove it. The only way he could think of is having a DNA test.

He placed the toothbrush inside the sealed plastic.

“He would not notice that his toothbrush went missing, would he?” Jurgen thought as he tilted his head.

Next, he went towards Gaston’s cabinet. He carefully looked over Gaston’s things as he did not want him to suspect that there was an intruder in his room. Not long after, Gaston saw the picture on the third cabinet.

He looked at the child picture.

This is Gaston’s picture from when he was young.

“He is really Mr. John’s son,” Jurgen murmured.

    There are many couples dancing during the party. Divine’s offer to dance would not be weird. But that depends on whom she was asking. In front of her, there are two handsome men. Gaston and Griffti. Griffti is Divine’s cousin. So, there’s nothing wrong if she would ask him to dance. After all, this is Griffti’s welcome party. However, due to Griffti’s illness, he would likely decline the offer. What about Gaston? Countless parties were held in Solice mansion. But Divine and Gaston never danced together. Just what will the people think if the Chairman’s granddaughter and the secretary dance together? It will only cause strange rumors. So, when Divine said, “I am afraid I had to ask one of you for a dance,” Gaston thought that she was asking for Griffti. The two men looked at each other. They cannot let her take Griffti in the dance stage. “I cannot dance,” Griffti quickly said. Divine looked at her cousin. Then she answered, “Great. Even though this is your welcome party, I kn

And why did they frame Gaston? This is the mystery that he wanted to solve as soon as he came back in the past. There are still one month and a half before Harold would die. ‘So, what is this? The madam will frame me for poisoning her?’ he asked himself while standing in confusion. If he was fated to be framed, then the sequence and scenarios did not match. ‘It is because I changed the future. Griffti came here and we held a party for him.’ Perhaps, the events jumbled. Same things will happen but in different ways. ‘This time, it went faster.’ Gaston looked around him as he stood there while breathing heavily. He’s fighting against the time. If he cannot stop Victoria from framing him, then he would lost the chance to save Harold and himself. He prepared for this but deep inside, he’s scared. Gaston does

    “Damn it!” Victoria shouted as she slammed her table. Not only her plans to kick Gaston out of the house failed but an unexpected catastrophe happened. “Whose son is he? J-John’s son?” Victoria spit nails from her mouth. She could not believe this. In fact she’s not alone. Everyone in the party have doubts. Is it really true that Gaston, the secretary of Harold, is John’s son? Some did not buy this. But because it came from Griffti, Victoria feared it might be the truth. Questions piled up inside her head. Since when did Griffti know about this? Is that why Griffti decided to come back because he has a strong ally? Did Griffti befriend Gaston knowing that he’s a son of a billionaire? More than that, what if John finds out Victoria’s plan from Jurgen? “I need to call him,” Victoria said before her trembling hands grabbed her phone and called Jurgen. [“The number you’ve dialed is not in service. Please call again. The number you’ve dialed is not in service. Please call…”] “

    Jurgen is in trouble. Once Gaston regained his consciousness, he would tell John that he got the poisoned drink from him, and it won’t be long before they will accuse Jurgen for attempted murder! “Why did he drink it for Pete’s sake?” Jurgen complained. Not only he and Victoria failed to frame Gaston. ‘I also lose the chance to be John’s son,’ Jurgen sighed inwardly. Then, he began to wonder since when did Gaston know about his father. “Thank goodness. If Gaston knew this and I pretended as John’s missing son, then that would be a problem.” Jurgen really wanted to be John’s son to get his revenge and to see his worth. But now, all plans were wasted. Instead of stealing Gaston’s identity, he had to save himself because he knew Victoria would not. “She will only save herself, sh*t,” Jurgen uttered. He looked at the door of the VIP room where Gaston and John were staying at. ‘Before everything, I will clear my name out of this damn mess,’ Jurgen said. He took a deep breath befo

[“The secretary of the Chairman of Hamington saved Victoria’s life during the first grandson’s party. It turned out that Secretary Gaston is the missing son of John Hopkins - the multi-billionaire man.”] Many were surprised. Who will have thought that an adopted man like Gaston is a son of a billionaire? However, there are some people who do not believe this.

    Jurgen overheard Gaston and John’s conversation inside the hospital. He was standing next to the slightly opened door. [“Let’s make a deal, Mr. John. Run a DNA test with me. If the result says that I am not your son, then you are free to sue me for fraud.”] Another chance came. If the test said that Gaston isn’t John’s son, he will be sued for fraud.

Standing from the side, the maid, Cris, stared at the things the angry madam threw on the floor. ‘Shoot. We just cleaned the mess yesterday and now we are going to clean again,’ Cris thought. “I c-couldn’t believe this. G-Gaston is really Mr. H-Hopkins’s son?!” Victoria treated Gaston lower than the servants and stinkier than garbage. Who will have thought that he is actually the son of some multi-millionaire? If she knew this beforehand, she should have treated him better. The door opened and Divine came inside. In her presence, Cris bowed her head and left the room. Divine looked at the mess inside the room and his mother, who looks crazy right now. The dignified and elegant Victoria has long gone. “What’s wrong, mother?” Divine asked. Breathing heavily, Victoria looked at her daughter. “Are you s

They were all eager to get an interview to the doctor who invented the medicine that saved millions of people around the glove. Wearing her white doctor’s gown, Yuhana looked at the reporters, which were blocked but the Corporation’s guards. “Dr. Yuhana! How did you come up with the medicine?” “It is true that you and the two corporation foresaw the virus and created the cure before it appeared?” “You created the medicine against a deadly virus within a year!

Especially after his grandfather died in the hands of his cousin, Divine. ‘Will there be a day when I will feel peace?’ Griffti asked that to himself. Knock knock. He looked at the door of his office. “Sir, it’s me,” his secretary announced. “Come in.” The secretary came in, but he stopped and stood from a great distance. Serving Griffti, the secretary knew that his boss hates close contact. Or else, his panic disorder will attack. “Chairman, I need to report something.” “Tell me.” “You received mail.” “You could have just sent it to my email account.” “N-No. The mail was a real letter.” “Real letter?” “Yes. The man said that I should deliver this directly to you.” Frowning, Griffti responded, “Throw it away. You should be careful and stop receiving suspicious thing from a random stranger.” “Sir, the m

You talked to Jurgen and stopped his death. But you still have one day left.

    “That’s right. I am the friend who died for you, Jurgen.” What did Jurgen feel when he saw his best friend? Remorse. Guilt. Happiness. “You’re alive. You are… alive.” Crying, Jurgen went close to Gaston. He held his shoulder, as he wanted to make sure that this is not an illusion which he usually saw every day. “I am so happy. So happy!” Jurgen cried out loud. His knees gave in, and he knelt on the ground, lowering his head. When Gaston saw it, he felt the pain inside his chest. Gideon was right. Jurgen regretted everything and he was willing to end his life for Gaston. “Sorry, Gaston. Please, forgive me,” Jurgen cried, kissing the floor. Gaston only looked down at him. “I was wrong. I gave up our friendship just for my greed. I… I deserve to die, Gaston.” Gaston knew Jurgen was serious because he did end his life just to turn back time. “I thought that if I have your life, if I became rich, and if I got Divine, I will be happy,” Jurgen added. “But no.

I spent years in jail, and now, I am living so hard.”Gaston stared at his friend and mourned his grievance.“Actually, I still could not believe that you are Gaston and you traveled from another time. But hearing this made me so fucking happy.”A smile spread on Gaston’s lips.
