Joseph tried to stay calm before Jayce's unexpected proposal. He knows that things are never as simple as they seem. However, to maintain a gentle appearance, he decided to joke a few words before asking permission to return to his room.

"Jayce, I really appreciate your support. I will definitely learn a lot from you," Joseph said with a smile, revealing a hint of mockery in his eyes that only Jayce could detect.

Jayce laughed loudly, patting Joseph on the shoulder. "I hope so too, Joseph. I believe you will do well. But remember, if you need anything, just ask me."

Joseph nodded, then turned his wheelchair and left the room. "You'll remember that, Jayce. Thank you," he said before rolling toward the elevator.

When the elevator door closed, Joseph looked at Jayce through the small gap, a smile still on his lips. Jayce also smiled back, but both knew that behind those smiles were only plots and lies.

“There will definitely be something interesting waiting for you!” Jayce grinned, his e

    "I have an important mission to give you." Jayce said, his tone somewhat mysterious.Joseph looked at his brother, feeling something unusual. "What mission, Jayce?" he asked, trying to keep his tone calm.Jayce approached Joseph's desk and placed a thick file on the table. "I want you to bid on a large shophouse project. This is an opportunity for you to prove your abilities and also a challenge to see if you really deserve the position of deputy director or not."Joseph looked at the file, then raised his head to look at Jayce. He clearly understood that Jayce never did anything without a purpose. "Are you sure I'm the right person for this project?" Joseph asked, his eyes never leaving Jayce's face.Jayce smiled slightly, but his eyes could not hide the calculation. "Of course, I believe you can do well. This is a big project, and if you succeed, it will bring huge profits to the company.""Okay, I'll accept this mission," Joseph said, never taking his eyes off Jayce. "I'll see what

    “Please help us, we’re at the end of our rope!”The wife standing next to him also cried bitterly, clutching her husband’s hand tightly. Joseph felt his heart sink at the sight. He gently placed his hand on Jotham’s shoulder, trying to stay calm.“Please, calm down,” Joseph said, hastening to support the distressed couple who had collapsed to the floor. Even he was overwhelmed by the scene before him. “Take your time and explain what has happened. I am here to help you.”Joseph led Jotham and his wife to a quiet corner of the waiting room and instructed his assistant to bring them a warm cup of tea. Once they were seated, their spirits seemed to stabilize a bit. They accepted the tea gratefully and thanked Joseph.“Thank you so much, Joseph,” Jotham said, his voice still shaky. “I don’t even know where to begin.”Joseph nodded, looking at them patiently. “Start from the beginning. What happened to your project?”Jotham took a deep breath and explained. “The construction project I’m in

    "Brian, I just agreed to help Jotham and his wife with the shophouse project. They are in serious trouble, and I think I need to do something," Joseph wrote.Brian's reply came immediately. "Joseph, why did you agree? Isn't that just making things harder for yourself?"Brian continued, "Just let them handle it. Why do you need to go through all this trouble?"Joseph thought for a moment before replying. "Brian, I understand your point, but I can't just sit and watch them struggle. Besides, it's not that simple. If things escalate, the company could also be implicated. I have to try to help them, no matter what."Brian didn't respond right away, and Joseph knew his friend was considering his words. After a while, Brian's message came through: "Joseph, I understand you want to help, but you need to be careful. Jayce is not an easy person to deal with."Joseph looked at his phone screen, pondering Brian's advice. He knew Brian was right. Jayce always had complex and unpredictable plans,

    "I've said what I needed to say. No matter how much money you offer, I can't help with this," Mrs. Limmy said sharply, grabbing her bag and leaving. Her sharp features revealed clear irritation."Mrs. Limmy, please calm down," Joseph tried to soothe her. "We can find a reasonable solution for both sides. I assure you that your interests will be protected."Mrs. Limmy did not want to hear anything more from Joseph. She yanked her hand away from his. "I've told you, Mr. Joseph. I don't have time for these pointless matters. I won't sell the land and I don't want to discuss it any further."Just as Mrs. Limmy was about to step out of the room, a familiar voice suddenly called from the door. "Godmother, what are you doing here?"Joseph turned around, startled, and saw that the voice belonged to his brother, Norman. Mrs. Limmy was equally surprised to see Norman. Both of them stood frozen for a moment before Norman rushed forward to embrace Mrs. Limmy."Godmother, I didn't expect to see yo

    “Everything is as you wish. I have completed the transfer contract for you.” Mrs. Limmy looked at Joseph with vicious eyes.

"Norman, remember to come home for dinner tonight. Mom will prepare your favorite dishes."Norman laughed loudly and nodded. "I remember, Mom. I'll be home on time."Mrs. Limmy continued to advise, her eyes stern but full of love. "Remember to take care of your health, don't work too much.

    Joseph and Norman had just left the cafe when Joseph suddenly remembered something and called Norman back. Norman turned back, frowned and asked with a suspicious attitude."You want to 'do business' with me?" Norman said and laughed. Norman's smile was a bit joking and not serious.Joseph looked straight into Norman's eyes, not avoiding it. "That's right," he answered, then pointed his chin toward a familiar street corner. "Old place."Norman frowned but didn't say anything more, just nodded. Joseph turned and left.Joseph and Norman did not go together, Joseph went first, Norman followed. The two of them went to a cafe located about 500 meters from the company.“Can you speak now? The reason I brought you here is what I want to discuss.” Norman crossed his legs over his lap, his tone unable to hide his curiosity.“Norman, what do you think about taking my side?” Joseph gets straight to the point.When Norman heard that, he frowned slightly.

    Joseph and Jayce stood in front of the shareholders, with their gazes fixed on Jayce. Joseph had thoroughly studied the company's situation and knew that currently, Jayce wanted to change the company's model in a new direction. This was not supported by the veteran shareholders. Joseph saw this as an opportunity to counterattack Jayce."I think next time, you should think more carefully before speaking or making any decisions. I don't mind, but if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would affect your relationship," Joseph said, with a sentimental gesture, hiding his inner laughter.Jayce, realizing the situation was not in his favor, hurriedly explained. "Thank you, Joseph. I really appreciate your support. Shareholders, I apologize for causing this misunderstanding. We will ensure everything is resolved satisfactorily.""Of course, if I can help in any way, just call me," Joseph said, giving Jayce a smile that couldn't be more insincere.Then, Joseph turned to the shareholders behind

    “Joseph, I didn't expect you to be here!” A familiar voice rang out, the person who had just arrived was Abigail. Joseph's impression of the girl in front of him was still the same as the first time. She wore a white shirt and simple jeans. In hand is a popular handbag costing no more than 10 USD.“What a coincidence, I didn't think I would see you here today!” Joseph finished speaking and quickly pushed the wheelchair towards Abigail. "How do you do? I also came alone, if you don't mind, you can sit with me." After finishing speaking, Joseph turned his eyes to his table, where there was still a glass of water he had half-drinked. At Joseph's suggestion, Abigail happily agreed. She helped Joseph push the heavy wheelchair back to the table. She had to be very close to Joseph to feel the gentle and attractive scent of jasmine from the simple girl in front of her. The woman Jayce chooses always has something special!“Are you okay lately?” Joseph spoke up and asked.“Thank you, I'm ve

    Joseph nodded slightly, not showing any emotion. "Charlotte is still safe, right?" Joseph asked, his voice calm, but his eyes intently watching Coco's reaction. This was his way of probing her, not about Charlotte, but for any sign that she knew or was involved in the death. Coco abruptly lifted her head, her eyes filled with anger. "What are you talking about, Joseph? Why would you ask me that? Do you think I don't care about Charlotte?" The anger in Coco's voice made Joseph realize he had touched on something sensitive. But what was she angry about? Because he suspected her, or because she really had something to hide? "I meant no harm, Coco," Joseph replied, trying to calm the situation. "I just want to make sure everything is okay... between us and with Charlotte." But he knew his words wouldn't soothe her anger. Coco stood up abruptly, her eyes full of frustration and rage.

    Coco slowly guided Joseph back to his room, each of their steps heavy like the tense atmosphere surrounding them. Joseph was still somewhat intoxicated, but he maintained a calm demeanor, occasionally nodding to the staff they passed along the way. His eyes were fixed ahead, but his mind was swirling with chaotic thoughts about everything that had just happened. Coco walked beside him silently, holding his arm securely, her eyes betraying her concern.At last, the door to the room appeared before them. Coco gently opened it and helped Joseph inside, closing it behind them. As soon as the door shut, the atmosphere in the room changed completely. Outside, the noise and bustle of the party still lingered, but inside, there was only an eerie silence. Faint light filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room.Joseph turned on the light, a soft golden glow spilling throughout the space. Suddenly, he pushed Coco away, surprising her. He didn’t say a word, instead quietl

    Joseph stood amidst the lively atmosphere of the party, but his mind felt lost in a maze of confusion. He tried to piece together the fragments of the events, but the more he thought about it, the more complicated everything became. If Jayce wasn’t the one who killed Charlotte, and he wasn’t behind Mrs. Smith’s death either, then Jayce must be panicking. Two key pawns Jayce had planned to use to threaten him had mysteriously vanished. So, who was behind all of this?Joseph couldn’t stop asking himself questions. “Is there someone silently helping me, or do they have a bigger agenda?” The appearance of a third force in this game could completely change the outcome. This made him uneasy. If someone was helping him, why would they choose such a method? And if they had ulterior motives, was he becoming a pawn in their hands?Looking over at Jayce, Joseph noticed that although Jayce outwardly appeared calm, he was likely in turmoil inside. Coco approached him, her eyes filled with concer

    The murmurs in the hall grew louder, and the once formal atmosphere of the party began to descend into chaos. Groups of guests gathered, whispering about the murder near the café. Faces were filled with anxiety, and eyes darted around, searching for an explanation.“Did you hear? The murder case,” a woman in a red dress turned to her companion, her voice trembling. “The killer hasn’t been caught yet, and the police have no leads.”“How terrifying! So close to here too, who would have thought something like this could happen in such a peaceful place,” her friend replied, nervously glancing around.People began to speculate about the murder, with theories spreading quickly and seemingly without end. Everyone presented their own assumptions, creating a tense atmosphere. Some suggested a family feud, while others thought it might be an act of revenge.“It could be robbery gone wrong… or maybe some kind of vendetta? I heard the victim was the mother of a wealthy CEO,” a man suggested.“But

    Coco hurried into the party, her eyes scanning the crowd anxiously as she searched for Joseph. She looked around frantically, her breath quickening as she walked swiftly past groups of guests engaged in conversation. Her gaze finally landed on Joseph, who stood near a corner of the room, his face tired and pensive. Coco approached him, unable to hide the worry in her eyes."Joseph!" Coco called softly, her voice a bit urgent. "Where have you been? I didn’t see you at all during the party."Joseph turned to face her, giving a faint smile but maintaining his calm demeanor. "I just stepped out for some personal business, nothing important," he said smoothly, though there was a subtle tension in his eyes that Coco couldn’t ignore.Coco frowned, the uneasy feeling in her heart growing stronger. "Personal business? Are you sure?" she asked gently, her voice full of concern. "I tried calling you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Is something wrong?"Joseph looked straight into Coco’s ey

    Charlotte lay motionless on the cold floor, her body still, and the pool of blood beneath her had already dried. The dim light from the room cast down on her pale, lifeless face, creating a heavy and terrifying atmosphere. The room was eerily silent, as if frozen in time, with only the faint sound of wind whistling through the crack in the window, disturbing the unnerving quiet.Suddenly, Charlotte's body twitched slightly. A barely noticeable, sudden movement, but it shattered the oppressive silence of the room. Her eyes, once tightly shut in death, abruptly opened wide, her dull eyes now filled with pain. Though devoid of life, somehow she opened her eyes as if pulled back from the brink of death by an unseen force.Charlotte’s throat convulsed, and suddenly, a dry retch escaped her mouth. Her hands instinctively gripped her neck, struggling to suppress something rising within her stomach. Her body convulsed in extreme agony, and soon after, she began to vomit violently, thick, blac

    Joseph stood silently next to Charlotte, the initial horror gradually giving way to a sense of clarity. Though a storm of painful emotions churned inside him, he knew he couldn't let them overwhelm his reason at this moment. Something was off, and his instincts as someone experienced made him want to understand more about the cause of Charlotte's death.Joseph's gaze swept across Charlotte's body, now motionless on the cold floor. Blood had spread across the floor, soaking into her pristine white dress, creating a tragic scene. He knelt closer, his eyes carefully observing the color of her skin and the livor mortis that had already begun to appear.With his forensic knowledge, Joseph noticed that Charlotte's skin had turned a pale gray, with blood pooling beneath the skin, forming dark purple blotches in areas where the blood had settled. This gave him an important clue: Charlotte had been dead for at least 4 to 6 hours. A chill ran down Joseph's spine as he came to this conclusion, a

    Joseph and Brian held their breath, trying to remain completely silent in the darkness. From their hiding spot, they could clearly see everything happening around the stairwell. The faint light from the second-floor hallway cast long shadows on the floor below.The sound of footsteps continued to echo, each step pounding in their chests. Then, Tyler's figure appeared, slowly making his way up the stairs from the first to the second floor. In his hand, he held something, not too large in size but wrapped in a black cloth, making it difficult for anyone to discern what it was.A stack of documents, perhaps?Joseph and Brian watched intently, trying to gather every detail. Tyler showed no signs of haste; he moved with a suspicious calmness, as if he had complete control of the situation. When he reached the second floor, Tyler paused, looked ahead, and then continued up without the slightest hesitation.Joseph felt the tension inside him rising with every passing moment.

    Joseph sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere. "What just happened in there?" he thought to himself, his eyes never leaving the scene before him. The bodyguards did not exchange any words, just quickly got into the car at an incredible speed, as if they wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.Brian frowned, a sense of unease filling his heart. "Did you see that? They're panicking," he said, his voice filled with doubt. "Something very unusual happened in the Smith house."Jayce's car immediately started up, the headlights turned on, and it backed away at a much faster speed than when it had come. Joseph and Brian could not believe their eyes as Jayce's car left the Smith house in a hurry and panic. This wasn’t how Jayce would act if everything was going according to plan.Brian nodded, his eyes filled with uncertainty. “It’s obvious something’s very wrong. What do you think we should do next?”Joseph was silent for a moment, his mind racing, trying to figure out what
