“Who was Jaslene talking to on the phone? Why does it seem so serious?” Altus wondered to himself. He was still standing behind the wall. Only the wall separated them, so Altus could hear everything Jaslene said.

“Okay, what time are you free? I’ll come pick you up,” a voice on the phone said. “I really want to meet you, if possible today, right now I can come to your place,” he continued.

Altus seemed to recognize the voice talking to Jaslene. He kept listening to what they were planning. He suspected it had something to do with Demetri’s family.

“I’m always free, so you can take me out anytime,” Jaslene replied. “Maybe we can have lunch together, or dinner?” she offered.

“What about lunchtime? But if you can’t, it’s okay, we can find another time later. I know you’re very busy,” he said.

“Sure. Just let me know when you’re on your way, I’ll wait at our meeting spot. I’m not that busy if you’re the one asking. It can be arranged,” Jaslene replied with a small laugh.

    “Is it time for me to tell Mr. Demetri that last night I heard Jaslene was going to meet Ambrose today? But where should I start?” Altus pondered inwardly.He hesitated whether to tell about Jaslene and Ambrose, knowing that if he didn’t inform Christian about Jaslene’s relationship, he might be blamed first when something happened.Considering this, Altus decided to go ahead and tell everything. He recounted what he had heard about Jaslene and Ambrose, as well as the possibilities if they were indeed getting together.“Mr. Demetri, there’s something else I need to tell you,” Altus began cautiously, easing into the topic of Jaslene. He steeled himself. Christian needed to hear about Jaslene and Ambrose’s relationship. He would disclose all he knew.Altus was convinced that Jaslene and Ambrose had a closer relationship, as he had heard not only about Ambrose’s clothing requests for Jaslene but also about their plans for lunch, and even dinner later.“Hmm, what’s that?” Christian interr

    “Why do you look surprised when I allow you to go out and meet Ambrose?” Christian asked, squinting as he stared at Jaslene who was looking down, questioning her about the permission he had granted her.Christian found Jaslene’s behavior odd because it was unusual for her to repeatedly inquire about the permission he had given her. But just now, Jaslene asked him about it, the permission he had given to the woman. Even though usually Jaslene never did such things.‘What’s up with Jaslene today? Something feels off,’ thought Christian.Jaslene scratched her head awkwardly. She glanced at Altus and Christian alternately, then took a deep breath. She was indeed nervous and awkward, not sure if Christian had granted her permission so easily.“Not exactly, Mr. Demetri, but I’m just worried this might be a mere prank. Because I know Ambrose is not from our side, but from the enemy’s,” Jaslene said cautiously.“I understand. And you’ve explained your reasons for wanting to meet Ambrose,” Chr

    He picked out a pair of black jeans from the closet, along with a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. For his meeting with Jaslene, he dressed simply yet impressively. There was nothing particularly special about this meeting, but for some reason, he couldn’t wait to see Jaslene.“I’ll be at the restaurant in ten minutes,” a message from Jaslene popped up on his phone.Ambrose quickly grabbed his keys and smoothed down his hair. He didn’t want to be late for the predetermined restaurant.“Oh, turns out my tire blew out after I messaged you earlier. If you get there first, just wait a bit, okay?”Ambrose set down the shoes he was carrying and replied to her message.“Don’t rush, I’ll wait for you. Where did your tire blow? Have you called a mechanic? Do you need me to come there?”“Not yet, I haven’t called the shop yet, about to do it now.”Impatient, Ambrose immediately called Jaslene. He wanted to make sure she was okay and not panicking. If she didn’t get a mechanic soon, he’

    After the call from Reginald disconnected, he immediately tried contacting Jaslene. He reluctantly had to postpone their date today because Reginald would be coming to his house. Damn it, this was supposed to be their first date, but it couldn’t go smoothly due to this interruption.“Hello, Jaslene,” greeted Ambrose as his call connected to Jaslene, who was less than ten kilometers away from where he had stopped. “I’m really sorry, I was almost there, but something urgent came up that couldn’t be postponed or left behind. So, I have to turn around and head back.”“Oh, what happened? You didn’t have an accident, did you? Or did your car tire also blow out?” Jaslene asked worriedly.“Nah, nothing like that. Just a minor issue I need to sort out immediately. Instead of being distracted and not being able to focus when I meet you, it’s better I handle it first,” Ambrose replied, still not disclosing the actual problem, only mentioning he would be late to meet Jaslene.Could he possibly te

    Reginald arrived in front of Ambrose’s room. He hesitated to open the door and instead walked towards the CCTV control room first. If everyone he asked lied to him, but CCTV couldn’t lie, right? So, to make sure Ambrose hadn’t really left, he would check for himself through the CCTV, located next to the garage.“I want to see the CCTV footage from today, from morning until the moment I arrived,” he requested.The guard in front of the computer trembled slightly. He nodded and pulled up the footage from morning until Reginald’s arrival. Everything seemed normal; there was no sign that Ambrose had left the house, nor was there any indication of a recently driven car with a warm engine.Reginald finally believed, though not completely. He turned back to enter Ambrose’s room.After Reginald left, the guard breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Ambrose had instructed him before Reginald arrived. The footage of Ambrose leaving the house had been difficult to erase, so it had been sped up. For

    Seeing Ambrose looking uncomfortable during their conversation, Reginald decided it was time to leave. He lifted himself from his chair, straightened his tie, and glanced at Ambrose. “Well then, I’ll head home so you can rest more comfortably.”‘I want to see Ambrose’s reaction when I say I’m leaving,’ Reginald thought to himself.Ambrose, who had been lying down, immediately sat up as if suddenly healthy. Not a trace of illness. This only deepened Reginald’s suspicions about Ambrose. He stared at his nephew strangely. Perhaps Ambrose didn’t realize Reginald sensed something odd since his arrival.“Let me walk you to the door, Uncle,” Ambrose said enthusiastically. He had completely forgotten he was pretending to be sick in front of Reginald. All he could think about was meeting Jaslene after Reginald left and continuing their postponed date plans.“I knew it, Ambrose was just pretending all along. Now he’s perfectly fine and not tired at all, even very enthusiastic when I said I was

    Ambrose swiftly drove his car to the restaurant they had agreed upon earlier. A smile had not left his face since earlier. He could hardly wait to meet Jaslene.“Did she really wear the red dress like I asked last night?” Ambrose wondered to himself.Behind Ambrose’s car, Reginald’s men continued to follow. They diligently sent photos and videos of Ambrose.“Reporting, Ambrose is now heading to one of the restaurants,” Reginald’s man reported to him.In the car heading to headquarters, Reginald massaged his temples. He was furious upon learning that Ambrose had deceived him, and now Ambrose was off to meet someone he himself didn’t know. “Keep sending videos and don’t lose track of him. I want to know who he’s meeting after lying to me and faking diarrhea.”“Yes, sir,” his men replied before hanging up the phone.“Watch out if you betray me, Ambrose!” Reginald threatened his nephew. He wouldn’t forgive anyone who betrayed him, even family.Reginald then played the video his men had se

    “What would you like to order?” Ambrose asked as he flipped through the menu. He was intrigued by one particular item that looked interesting. It was a Chinese restaurant, so he wasn’t very familiar with the offerings, but he would still order what he thought would be delicious and suited his palate.“I’m fine with whatever you choose,” Jaslene replied with a smile. She adjusted her seating position to be more comfortable. It felt intense being in the VIP room alone with Ambrose. Romantic.After ordering a few dishes for them, Ambrose refocused his attention on Jaslene sitting across from him. Beautiful and graceful. He never grew tired of just looking at her face every day.“It wasn’t easy coming here. Did anyone find out?” Ambrose asked Jaslene, breaking the silence after a moment spent checking his email.Jaslene almost mentioned that Christian and Darrell knew, and she had even sought permission from Christian before meeting him. But she hesitated when she remembered her plan to p

    Altus was aware that Christian was currently dealing with a significant problem. So, he offered to help Christian calm down.“Do you know of a place that is green and peaceful?” asked Christian.“Of course. I’ll take you to a tranquil place,” replied Altus.“Alright, take me there,” said Christian.After saying that, Altus immediately drove his car towards a hill not far from where they were.During the journey, Christian remained silent. He didn’t say a word.Christian’s mind was still in turmoil. The issue he was facing seemed even heavier to him than Demetri’s family issues.After about an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at a charming house on a hill.The surroundings of the house were exceptionally beautiful. There were no other buildings in sight, only nature as far as the eye could see.“We’ve arrived, sir!” said Altus.Christian looked around and was quite amazed. This place was even more beautiful than the villa at the peak.“Whose house is this, Altus?” asked Christian, pu

    Christian fell silent upon hearing Elvira’s words from across the room. He was annoyed that Tavares was still threatening him through Elvira.“What an insolent man! How dare he threaten me through Elvira. When I meet him, I’ll finish him off,” Christian muttered angrily to himself.“I’ll kill him,” Christian growled.“Stop!” shouted one of Tavares’s guards, blocking Christian’s path.But Christian remained unmoved. After ending the call from Elvira, who had complained about Tavares’s threats, he decided to enter the house anyway.“I’ll report this assault to the police!” yelled the same man who had stopped Christian earlier.Upon hearing the threat from the man in black before him, Christian burst out laughing. “Hahaha.”“Don’t dream in broad daylight!”Christian immediately struck the man, knocking him unconscious.“Tavares! Come out!” Christian shouted in frustration.There was no response from inside the house. The people in front of Christian remained silent, intimidated after the

    “One more time, I ask you to stop or I’ll beat you!”The man’s shout made Christian and Altus pause for a moment, but both of them chose to ignore the man yelling at them.“Should we deal with all of them first, Sir?” Altus asked as they walked.“No need, just ignore them.”“But they’re following us, Sir. It looks like they have weapons too.” Altus sharpened his hearing and noticed some of the people seemed to be carrying sticks or something similar because he could hear those objects hitting the ground or something nearby.On both sides of Altus, there were piles of wood, like the remnants of a demolished building or something similar. Clearly, this place looked more like a warehouse than a residential house.“Hey, stop right there!” the man shouted again.Christian ignored him and urged Altus to keep walking. “Keep walking and don’t listen to them. Even if they attack, we will definitely win.”“Alright, Sir. So we should keep walking, right?” Altus repeated his question. He was hone

    “Let go, Valerio, release him. Come on, let’s go from here,” Darrell urged Valerio to release Daeron’s arm and walk away with him.“Let him be with his decision, we don’t need to force Daeron to come home,” Darrell repeated, insisting on leaving Daeron be.“Alright,” Valerio replied, following Darrell’s command. He released Daeron’s arm and walked alongside Darrell, who had already started walking away from the people there.Valerio didn’t know Darrell’s intention in letting Daeron go, but he obediently followed Darrell’s orders. Valerio was sure Darrell knew what he was doing.“Leaving Daeron like this, maybe Darrell has another plan,” Valerio thought to himself, seemingly understanding Darrell’s intentions even without being told.“No! This can’t happen, I don’t want to become poor and live in misery. No! No!” Daeron’s thoughts were in turmoil as Darrell and Valerio released him and simply left him there with his three friends.Darrell and Valerio walked away from Daeron, seemingly

    “Nothing yet, Mr. Demetri. So far, that’s all I found from the search. But I promise I’ll look for more information later,” Altus said, bowing slightly. He admitted he hadn’t found much more about Daeron.“Alright then, keep searching for more information about Daeron. I’ll wait for good news, don’t disappoint me.”“Got it, Sir. I’ll focus more on finding information about Daeron,” Altus promised to Christian.After that, they both fell silent for a long time. No one initiated a conversation. Christian was preoccupied with thoughts about Daeron, Tavares, Yve, and many more. Meanwhile, Altus was busy trying to guess what Christian was thinking. He didn’t feel comfortable starting another conversation, so the only option he chose was to wait for Christian to say something to him.Altus glanced at Christian, but after waiting for a while, he still didn’t say anything.“Is there anything else you’d like to say, Mr. Demetri?” Altus asked after a few moments of silence from his superior.“H

    Christian stopped talking after he remembered why he was looking for Tavares. He couldn’t tell Altus the real reason.Christian’s silence made Altus feel uneasy and a little suspicious. If it wasn’t something very important, Christian wouldn’t be looking for someone like this.“Why stop, sir? Can’t I know who that person is?” asked Altus in a soft voice, but his eyes were sharp.“Do you remember some people I met at a hotel where Elvira was?” Christian asked.Altus nodded. He remembered that incident.“Well, Tavares was one of them. In short, he dared to play games with me by trying to ruin my marriage,” Christian explained. “So, because he wants to play with me, I will give him a game he will remember for the rest of his life.”Altus fell silent for a moment. He had never seen Christian so angry before.“Well then, I will ask the troops to find Tavares’s whereabouts so we can quickly meet him. He really needs to be told that he’s messing with the wrong person,” growled Altus.Christi

    Claudia was terrified when she heard Christian’s shout. Her courage shrank after seeing her cousin angry. She knew very well who Christian was. No one would dare face him in such a state because it was certain that person would end up beaten black and blue. Claudia also clearly remembered Christian’s position. This would definitely make things difficult for her if she ended up offending her cousin.“I’m sorry, Christian! I didn’t mean it like that! I was just worried!” Claudia said softly. She bowed her head because she didn’t dare to look at her cousin’s angry face.Christian took several deep breaths. He tried to control his emotions, which had flared up moments ago.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you!” Christian said after he had calmed down.“Never say something like that again. What if someone heard and misunderstood?” Christian continued.“Sorry!” Claudia squeaked. She felt guilty for accusing her cousin of such things. She should have handled it more maturely.“It’s late, go

    “You love Me?” Valerio asked to confirm Elvira’s feelings for him.“Do you still need an answer?” Elvira asked back.“Of course, I want to make sure that your heart and body are only for me.” Valerio saw the glint in Elvira’s eyes which were becoming increasingly passionate. What’s more, his hands were twisting the edge of her chest.Elvira nodded her head. “Really. I really love you.” She doesn’t deny that she really loves Valerio. Even though Mr. Demetri still makes her fly, her heart is still with Valerio.“So, are we going to spend the night until you can’t walk?” Valerio said while squeezing Elvira’s mound.It felt like he hadn’t spent time with Elvira in a long time. And maybe now is the right time, after they were involved in the misunderstanding earlier.Seeing Elvira’s body again made him crazy. Must make the woman unable to wake up tomorrow morning.

    Christian stuttered. He was confused about what to say. But his mind quickly raced; he had to make sure Valerio didn’t suspect anything.But his mind went blank; he couldn’t think of a reason to prevent Valerio from misunderstanding.“Thank you again for your help, Mr. Demetri!” Elvira exclaimed. Christian glanced briefly, then shifted slightly to give Elvira space. Thank you for what?“Sweetheart, why are you here? For long?” Elvira asked, feigning surprise towards Valerio.Luckily, she had an idea and took control. She knew Christian must be struggling to find a plausible excuse.“It’s actually me who’s asking. What were you two doing? Why was Mr. Demetri in your room?” Valerio asked suspiciously. His eyes narrowed, seeing his girlfriend with Mr. Demetri in the room last night.“Oh... there was a small mouse inside. I was terribly afraid. As I ran out to ask for help to chase it away, Mr. Demetri happened to pass by. So, I asked for his help!” Elvira replied.It was a plausible excu
