"How is this possible?" Joy whispered to herself, her mind racing to make sense of the situation. Greg, the man Georgia had described as a worthless individual, the same person who had a secret affair with Mara, was now conversing with a high-ranking official of the company?

Flashback in the interrogation room: "What?!" Joy exclaimed in shock, her eyes widening in disbelief. She couldn't believe the offer she had just received from the mysterious figure. Persuading Georgia to make Mara the one and only Millen Representative? That seemed impossible! However, Joy quickly regained her composure, realizing the dire situation she was in as a prisoner. "I—I'm sorry," stammered Joy, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to shout. It's just that... I didn't expect your second offer to be like this. As for the first one about resigning, I can do that, but the second one… I promise I will try, but I'm not sure if it's possible since..." Joy couldn't continue her words due to fear. Deep inside, she realized that accepting this offer was the only way to save her life, but at the same time, she doubted whether she could fulfill the second part because, honestly, the offer was quite difficult. How could she convince Georgia, who had shown hatred towards Mara in t

Today, Greg arrived at Vonicon earlier than usual. After planning to meet with Mara, he decides to take care of his work first before heading out. As he entered his office, Greg went straight to his desk and began focusing on his office tasks. Not long after, Dylan also entered the room. "Wow, it's unusual to see you this morning," Dylan said as he closed the door. "Is something up?" "Not really. An urgent meeting came up, and I need to take care of it this morning," Greg replied, looking at Dylan. "How about you? What are you doing this early on Vonicon? Don't you usually have something to do in the morning?" Greg asked, redirecting the conversation and making Dylan stumble over his words. "W-Well... about that...I just happened to walk past here, so I decided to pay you a visit. That's all," Dylan stammered. Greg hummed, knowing that Dylan was lying, but he didn't press him further and continued his work. "He probably came here to see Madeline," Greg thought to himself. "Anywa

Anxiety filled the air as Mr. Millen paced back and forth in his lavish study, while Victor leaned against the wall, visibly irritated by his companion's unease. The impending arrival of Mara as their representative had Mr. Millen on edge, his mind consumed by the weight of a buried secret. "Victor, you don't understand," Mr. Millen exclaimed, his voice trembling. "If everyone finds out about what we did, everything will crumble. The company, our reputation, everything!" Victor silently rolled his eyes upon hearing Mr. Millen's rant. "What is he so worked up about? It's just a representative role. Is he overthinking this? I feel like I wasted my time coming here. All he's doing is spouting nonsense." Although Victor held these thoughts, he chose to nod and wear a concerned expression, understanding the need to show respect as Mr. Millen was his father-in-law and Victor still needed his help to obtain the land. “I understand, father, but I think you’re overreacting a bit. I mean,

As she walked in, she couldn't help but notice the entire Millen family already present: Grandma Millen, Mr. Millen, Mrs. Millen, Georgia, George and someone she had never seen before. But Mara assumed it to be Victor, Georgia's new husband as she recall Greg's story "Rat..." That's what Mara's first impression when she looked at him. Grandma Millen, wearing an air of arrogance, greeted Mara with a condescending smile. "Ah, Mara, my beautiful granddaughter! Welcome. Please, have a seat," she said, motioning toward an ornate chair. As Mara settled into her seat, Grandma Millen began with pleasantries. "Ah, Mara, my dear granddaughter! It's wonderful to see you after such a long time. How have you been? How is your mother doing? Is she still—" "Let's just get straight to the point. Why did you call me here?" Mara interrupted, causing Grandma Millen's smile to falter as she was taken aback by
