The car carrying Scarlet sped into the driveway of her mansion in Sacramento. As the driver hit the brakes, Scarlet stepped out of the car, only to be approached by a woman dressed in a black suit.With an unwavering gaze, Scarlet asked, "Who are you, and why are you here so early?"The woman's voice dropped low, as if trying to keep their conversation quiet and quick, but Scarlet paid no attention. Instead, she adjusted her dress and glasses before confidently attempting to enter the mansion. However, the woman blocked her path."The person you're looking for is not here, young lady," the woman stated."Well, I'm not looking for anyone. I'm going into my own house," Scarlet declared, causing the woman to stumble back in surprise. It was evident that they didn't recognize her and were seeing her for the first time."Move!" Scarlet continued walking, with the woman and others following her like paparazzi. She pushed open the doorknob and there he was—Alexander, the very person she was
Scarlet's mind was swirling with thoughts as her heart raced. She felt the urge to look back, to confirm whether or not she was in danger or whether or not if he was following her to stanghle her or shoot her, but she resisted. Walking away seemed like the safer option than going all the way to turn back and confirm she fears.Surprisingly to her, Alexander made no attempt to follow her. He remained rooted to the spot, his eyes staring blankly as Scarlet moved outside. It was hard for him to believe that Harry knew his secret, his weakest point. The thought lingered in his mind that Harry might attempt to harm his family if things didn't go his way. Despite having followed Harry's actions for the past five years while undercover in Europe, he couldn't convince himself that it was impossible.He couldn't shake off the caution he felt, knowing that if their positions were reversed, he would not hesitate to harm Harry's family to get his way,taking learage and blackmailing people with wha
A heavy silence fell upon the room, as if everyone collectively held their breath in surprise. Harry's eyes darted around, equally stunned by their reaction, before he let out a sigh. It reminded him that they were unaware of the truth. He had sent Samantha to visit the children's school, posing as a parent during a parent-teacher meeting. She had befriended the children, playing with them while discreetly placing trackers in their diamond necklaces. She also managed to place another tracker in Alexander's wife's bag, without raising any suspicion."I'm curious," Scarlet stood up, her interest piqued. "How many kids does he have?"It seemed like a game to her, especially since she had confirmed that Alexander had met his match in Harry. The mere discovery of his family had struck a nerve. She swaggered forward, leaning in as Harry replied, "Two boys!""Ouch!" Her mouth formed an astonished 'O' sound. He must be thrilled to have two healthy boys while having deprived other parents of t
With a sense of contentment, she happily drove away from the company.The door swung open, and everyone's attention swiftly turned, anticipating Cassandra's return. To their surprise, it was Martin and Samantha who walked in, their hands intertwined. Stanley let out a deep sigh of relief, but he wasn't going to let them off the hook with their Romeo and Juliet affair."There's a new rule, Miss Juliet..." he began, but Samantha pretended not to hear, well aware that he enjoyed taunting her relationship with Martin whenever he was bored."I can see you're bored with life. What's this new rule?" she responded nonchalantly, settling onto one of the couches in Harry's office."Everyone needs to stay together at Harry's place. I mean, pack your belongings and return home. The devil may be coming," Stanley said, and Samantha raised her gaze to meet his."Seriously?" Samantha exclaimed."How on earth did he end up at Ms. Oct's house?" she continued, capturing everyone's interest, especially S
"Thank you!" Harry smiled, his gaze fixed on Jade. She appeared nervous about Harry returning to the law firm. It had been over a year since he had been away, and she wasn't sure what to expect upon his return. She held onto her clothes tightly, trying to steady her trembling hands, until Harry noticed."My homecoming was announced on the radio this morning," he said, taking her hand and intertwining it with his, offering her comfort. However, instead of easing her nervousness, his words seemed to stun her.Announced?He had never mentioned anything about his return to the law firm being a special announcement on the radio. It meant there would be an influx of people and interns from other firms. Despite his certificate being confiscated for some time, his reputation as a star attorney had not been taken away. Once he made his comeback, it would make waves.Jade smiled warmly, and Harry winked. It was just the two of them in the same vehicle while others took the following two cars.T
Once Cassandra hung up the phone, her eyes darted around the room. She knew she needed to act carefully, aware that there were cameras watching her every move. Any misstep could be captured, jeopardizing the deal worth approximately $500,000. That wouldn't be a smart business move. She walked back to her table and settled in, picking up her phone. Just then, a message chimed in: "I'm here!"She didn't need to check the sender's name to know it was Amp. He was the only one she had requested her boss to send immediately, knowing he could hack into the cameras and ensure a clean operation without getting caught. Amp was a true expert when it came to hacking.Cassandra adjusted her clothes and confidently walked outside to welcome Amp. However, before she could reach the door, it swung open, revealing a woman with a slender figure and a cold demeanor. Cassandra knew that many of Harry's staff didn't like her, so the woman's icy expression and attitude weren't surprising. She had observed
Stanley pulled up in front of Scarlet's office and swiftly exited the car. He hurriedly made his way inside, only to discover that the personal assistant had already arrived and everyone was gathered in Scarlet's office. He let out a sigh before pushing the door open and stepping into the spacious room, only to realize that they had already started their lunch without him.Joining in the meal, Stanley knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would have to endure a hectic day once Harry's love broadcast began."Why the rush?" Samantha teased, noticing how quickly he devoured his food."I'm trying to regain my appetite and erase all the crap I saw at the office," he replied, causing Samantha to lean in, eager to hear more.Stanley quickly finished chewing and turned to face Samantha and Pietro, who were ready to listen to his story."That woman brought her lousy boyfriend into the office. It seemed like they were having some sort of office romance. It was so cringe-worthy. You could
Harry and the others watched as Alexander trailed off, still stunned by his actions.Harry knew that it was all a façade, that there was something behind Alexander's act, but he couldn't quite grasp what it was. Biting his fingers, his mind swirled with thoughts of Alexander as he tried to decipher his motives. It felt like solving a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces."Young master, you're ten minutes late!" Pietro announced, snapping Harry out of his thoughts.Harry moved forward, ready to head outside, but he quickly turned back, realizing that he had forgotten his phone on the table.As he spun around, faster than a flash of lightning, a bright LED light flashed into his eyes, causing him to reflexively close his retinas. Slowly, he opened his eyes and moved closer to the source of the LED light. It was a small device attached to the chair where Alexander had been sitting."What's that?" Scarlet asked, curiosity evident in her voice."That's a..." Harry trailed off, stopping himsel
