2023-07-11 05:04:07The Anderson family mansion looked different tonight. The sound of applause filled the room as a woman and a man took turns putting on the rings.
Davis, on the other hand, smiled as he entered the room. This was the first time in his 25 years of attending a party. The man prepared his appearance as best he could despite having to deplete his savings.
"Congratulations on your engagement, Ethan, Susan."
Davis suddenly froze when he heard the voice. He saw two people he knew kissing on stage. His happy smile vanished.
"What's going on here?" Davis said loud enough to get everyone's attention. The crowd instantly split in two as he walked over.
All the Andersons smiled at the sight of Davis. They had long disliked the man as they considered him a useless nuisance. Tonight was his last night in their family.
"You've come at a good time, Davis," said Drake, the leader of the Anderson family, "take those dirty dishes to the kitchen."
Davis clenched his fists tightly. "What's all this about?"
Drake walked over to Davis. "Didn't you hear what I just said? Take those dirty dishes to the kitchen right now."
Davis did not respond to Drake's words. He was still surprised by Susan and Ethan who were holding hands on stage in matching outfits. "Did they two just get engaged?"
"As you can see, my daughter Susan just got engaged to Ethan. They are a perfect match in every way. Anyone would agree with me." Drake smiled broadly.
Davis looked at Susan and Ethan in turn. "But Grandpa said that I'm getting married to Susan in a month. I'm sure you and the rest of the Anderson family remember Grandpa’s word."
"What a jerk! Who's going to marry you to Susan?" Drake yelled, approaching Davis with wide strides. "Take a look in the mirror to know who you are and where you stand! You're just a lucky piece of trash that my father brought into the Anderson family. Do you think I would be willing to marry Susan off to a useless and worthless man like you?"
Davis looked at everyone who was laughing and staring at him hatefully, except Susan who turned her head the other way. "I don't accept this engagement. I-"
Drake slapped Davis. Everyone stifled their laughter at the sight, except Susan who remained silent. "Do you ever think about who you are in this world? Ethan is so much better than you in every way. You don't even have wealth, position, or family. What my father said was nothing. Anyone knows that you are not worthy of my daughter Susan."
Davis was used to being humiliated and looked at with hatred. However, he could not accept this engagement.
Davis had loved Susan since he first met her fifteen years ago when he first came to the Anderson family as an adopted child. Susan was a woman who treated him well even though in recent months her attitude had changed considerably.
Davis turned to Ethan who was stifling a laugh. He had not known the man named Ethan for long. Ethan had visited the house several times and talked to Drake. However, Davis did not expect the man to have a relationship with Susan.
Davis tried to remember where he had seen Ethan besides this house. After thinking hard, he remembered that Ethan was the man who had beaten someone unconscious on the side of the road. Ethan was also the one who had gone into a bar with four women at once.
"Get out of this party immediately, Davis! You're just disrupting our happiness," said Emely, one of Susan's cousins.
"The only reason you're allowed to come to this party is because we want you to realize who you are and where you stand. You don't deserve Susan at all." Rebecca, Susan's other cousin, added.
"Leave before I kick your ass, assh*le!" threatened Romeo though he wasn't sure what he was saying since Davis was taller and bigger than him.
Davis approached the stage. "Ethan just wants to mess with Susan. I've seen him beat up someone on the side of the road. He also went with some women to the bar."
"What the fuck do you mean?" Ethan shouted, descending the stage with hurried steps. "Scum like you don't deserve to say anything about me at all."
"Susan, please believe me. Ethan just wants to play a trick on you. He's-"
"Bastard!" Ethan threw a punch, but Davis blocked his attack. He winced as Davis squeezed his wrist tightly. "Let go of my fucking hand! You don't know who you're insulting!"
"Get your filthy hands off!" Drake slapped Davis again.
Romeo picked up a glass and poured the water on Davis. "Leave right now!"
Davis looked at Susan who didn't turn to him at all. His body received several throws of water. Davis released his grip on Ethan's hand, looked at each of the people who were throwing, and looked at him hatefully.
"You're going to pay for what you've done, scum!" Ethan prepared to hit Davis.
Davis parried Ethan's hand, pulling the man's shirt collar so hard that Ethan was lifted slightly. "What are you up to, Ethan? I know you just want to mess with Susan. Susan is a good woman who you shouldn't play with."
Everyone looked surprised, but no one dared to come closer.
Ethan could see the anger in Davis' eyes. "Get off me scum! You'll pay dearly for what you've done to me!"
"Stop it, Davis! You've gone too far!" Susan suddenly shouted, descending the stage with hurried steps.
David slowly released his grip, looking at Susan who gave him a cold stare. Just as he was about to speak, Susan suddenly slapped him.
"Susan," Davis muttered in disbelief. Compared to Drake's slap, Susan's slap was much more painful because it made his heart hurt. "Susan, I-"
"Davis, listen to me carefully." Susan let out a long breath. "Ethan and I are officially engaged and we're getting married in a month. I have no feelings for you whatsoever. I wouldn't marry you even if Grandpa asked me to. I don't hate you, but you're not the man of my choice. I have the right to choose the best man for me, and so do you. Davis, you've gone too far in accusing Ethan, but you can't prove your accusations at all."
Ethan smiled, taking Susan's hand. "Did you hear what my fiancée said? She doesn't like you at all. So, I hope you won't interfere with our relationship."
Davis looked down, clenching his hands into tight fists. All the images of his closeness to Susan instantly sprung up. Susan had never shown any interest in him. Susan just treated him better than the rest of the Andreson family.
"Susan, please believe me. Ethan is not a good man for you. He's-"
Susan turned her back on Davis. "Go away, Davis. I don't want to see you again."
"Susan, I ...." Davis found everyone who smiled at the sight of him crumbling. He turned around slowly, glanced at Susan.
Davis finally walked out of the room. The man didn't care about the sound of laughter and insults from people. He came with a happy smile but left with a wounded heart and pride. The woman he loved chose another man, and he could not do anything to stop it.
Davis stopped when he heard footsteps approaching. When he turned around, he found Drake standing in front of him.

"Let me meet Granpa as a farewell. I won't say anything about the matter. I only want to thank him." Davis looked down for a moment, turning to the other side.Drake chuckled. "Don't take anything that belongs to my father or anyone else in this house. If you do, I'll drag you to jail until you rot there.""I understand."

"Alright, I'll choose the house I'm going to buy. I should buy a house has a good view and a lot of facilities."Davis sat down at the table, opened his laptop, and went through the websites of real estate agents one by one. After selecting a few houses, his choice fell on a luxury house near the beach. "I don't have a cell phone to contact the real estate agent. I'd better hurry before the quest time ends."Davis walked out of the hotel. He was dumbfounded when he saw the cost of his one-day stay. The servants escorted him out on the front lawn."I spent $200,000 just for a one-day stay. I can buy a car or even a house with that amount of money."Davis checked the payment papers. It only said "Davis" without the additional surname "Miller".

"What are they doing here?" asked Davis while hiding.Davis saw Ethan holding Susan's hand. His memory of last night came back."After we get married, we'll live in this house, Susan," Ethan said with a big smile. "Isn't this house amazing? Not only is it in a luxury housing complex, but it also has a nice view.""Ethan and Susan will live next to my house?" Davis gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger."Yes, it's a great house," Susan replied with a somewhat forced smile.Ethan touched Susan's shoulder. "Susan, what's going on?

In the middle of the article, he found his ID card half-burned."Susan and the others must have thought that the burnt man was me. I wonder who the poor guy who was burned was?"Davis read the second article. He found that the man had been in a single-vehicle accident when he hit a road divider during heavy rain.Davis remembered when a car suddenly hit him from behind. "The car seemed to hit me on purpose. As I was lying helplessly on the road, I didn't see the driver get out to help me either.

Red, Blue, and Aaron entered the room. The cats immediately approached them. "Ah, this trip has been exhausting. I want to rest right away." Blue stretched, yawning a few times. After lying down on the sofa, he fell asleep instantly. Red opened the hologram screen and checked for updates. "The other groups haven't been able to catch a single Technocrom member yet either. They're very good at hiding and being annoying."Aaron came in with refreshments, setting a cup of hot tea on the table. He glanced at Blue, who had fallen asleep on the couch. Red took a long breath, closing the hologram screen and sipping the tea slowly. "You seem to have just had a visitor, Aaron."Aaron sat down across from Red. "Dariel Miller just paid me a visit, sir. He asked for help in getting rid of a member of the Miller family. They are involved in a feud between family members because they are both eyeing heirship rights.""The Miller family."

Dariel felt very sleepy now, but he tried to stay awake. He was still worried about his condition. "Dad has entrusted me with this task. I can't let him down. I must also return safely."Dariel looked at the calm sea. A few flashes of light were seen. "I must get used to the tense and frightening situation. I'll face this situation more often when I take Dad's place. Dad and I will be in danger if I let my guard down. The enemy will finish us off without mercy."Dariel clenched his fists tightly, leaned back in his chair, and took a deep breath. He doubted whether Donald and Deric could harm him and his father just for treasure.Dariel dozed off for a few minutes until he finally regained consciousness. He immediately took stock of his surroundings. After feeling that there was nothing unusual, he was relieved. "The meeting went well. Aaron will send those people soon. I just need to follow his directions."Dariel paused as he recalled his conversation with Aaron a few minutes ago. "

"Welcome to my room!" a man shouted, smiling cheerfully. The man held two cats in his left and right hands. Dozens of cats roamed the room, fighting, meowing, sleeping, and running around. The room's appearance is in stark contrast to the creepy condition of the building. The room is very bright with red and gold colours. A large chandelier sits on the ceiling. Some houses and cat toys were on the left side of the room, while the sofa, television, cupboards, and swimming pool were on the right. Daniel, Chris, and Adrian observed the surroundings, still standing in their places. Daniel observed the man in the colourful shirt in front of him. He thought the masked men's leader was a big, tall, tattooed, and scary-looking man. Instead, he looked like a bookish, animal-loving man. "Nice to meet you." Aaron put both cats on the floor, patting his shirt. He walked to the sink, cleaning his hands repeatedly. "I didn't expect the young master of the Miller family to see me today."Aaron

Dariel entered the building with his guards. The rain was pouring heavily outside. Lightning struck repeatedly, and the wind grew stronger until some branches were thrown into the window. The room was very quiet, in contrast to the tense atmosphere of Dariel's feeling. Dariel traveled for hours to be on this island. He made sure everything was as good as possible. "I'm really worried about how Dad's doing right now, but he asked me to do this. I can't let him down," he muttered. Dariel tried to be focused and calm to complete the mission. Daniel asked him to meet with someone. Finding that person was not easy, especially since Mario was repeatedly unconscious in his room. In addition, he and Daniel must be wary of Daniel, Deric, and other family members. Dariel took a deep breath, trying to control himself to remain calm. He clenched his hands tightly when bad thoughts suddenly appeared. He often imagined Daniel suddenly becoming unconscious.Dariel surveyed his surroundings. He wa

It's very different from when I was in the alliance.""Mr. Henry and the alliance are preparing to arrest Logan and Ludwig in two days. Logan and Ludwig are also preparing for an attack. Both sides are preparing their plans as best they can."Davis closed the window, sitting on the sofa. "Ludwig didn't come to Lucas after that day. He focused on perfecting the preparations.

The rain has been pouring down since a few hours ago. Davis was in his room, remembering the meeting with Mike Stormy a few hours ago. He opened the holographic screen, pondering for some time. "As I suspected, Mike Stormy suspected me of building a business with capital from thugs. In addition, he ordered his subordinates to search for information about me. Unfortunately, he won't get anything. I also haven't found out my origins until now.""I've searched for information regarding Mario, but the system didn't provide any information. Mario is on the list of dangerous people. He's more dangerous than Mike.""I can still observe Mike's condition, but I can't find Mario's information even though I've tried many times."Davis turned to the window as the lightning boomed.

He observed the bustling city center. "The system gives me an hour to meet with Mike Stormy. It's longer than my meeting with Daisy. Does that mean Daisy is more dangerous than Mike?" Davis took a deep breath, opening the hologram screen, observing the state of Henry Tolando and the rest of the alliance members in a room. "They gathered to discuss the news of Evan Mulikas' death. They plan to accelerate the attack." Davis clenched his fists tightly. "My gut tells me that bad things are going to happen. I need to be prepared for the worst." Davis gave Sammy, Don, and Dave a glance. "I'm sure Mr. Henry will hire Jay and the others back to guard him in the fight. There's no way I'm turning down that offer either."

Mario was still lost in thought, scrutinizing the picture in his hand. His mind was full of memories of the past with Damian and Dominique's little son. Mario stared at the tears that continued to drip down the paper. His shoulders shook repeatedly until he finally burst into sobs. Mario glanced around the room. "Is it possible that Davis is alive? I thought Dylan was dead, but he's still alive. Davis might indeed be alive."Mario immediately turned on the computer, searching for information about Davis. Rows of information instantly popped up on the screen. "I accessed this country's population information and found a lot of men named Davis."Mario stared at the picture, matching the photo with the information on the screen. "Daisy handed me this paper a few days ago, but I only see this man's picture now. Donald came so suddenly that I haven't had a chance to check.""If that man is indeed Davis, then Daisy has already met him." Mario suddenly fell silent, clenching his fists tigh

The rain had been pouring down heavily for the past few hours. The dining room was filled with Sarah and Elora's stories. Lightning thundered several times until the two children screamed in fear.The bustling atmosphere quieted down after Sarah and Elora's departure. Davis moved to the main room, watching the news on television. The anchor was broadcasting the news of the bomb explosion and the terrorist group in Floxia's capital city. "I told Mr. Henry about the enemy attack on Evan Mulikas. However, I'm quite worried about Evan Mulikas' condition. He is an important figure in the alliance. If he is injured or killed, the alliance will definitely be weakened. Logan and Ludwig will most likely attack immediately. If the alliance loses, they will likely target me."Davis let out a long breath, leaning back in the chair, laughing. "I seem to be overthinking things. Evan Mulikas and his army are not weaklings. He's the former police chief of Fluxton, and his men are well-trained. They'
