Sett watched the two little girls hide behind their mother's back while nervously peeking their heads out. They seemed to be nervous as they looked at Sett, especially Macho Karl, who had a large frame, making his appearance scary for the two little girls. However, Sett noticed that the two little girls' eyes had a hint of defiance in them, which was surprising considering their age. "Mister, are you going to hurt Mommy?" The oldest daughter lifted her head and stared at Sett's eyes, unblinking as she uttered those words. "Please mister, don't hurt mommy. I'll give you my teddy bear in exchange." The youngest daughter nearly stammered as she stretched out her tiny arm as if to offer her a precious teddy bear. Seeing such a scene, where an innocent child had to protect their mother from a stranger, Sett's heart almost shattered. For these children to act mature, they must've suffered a lot, or perhaps they saw their mother being attacked. 'D*mn it! Those scumbags dared to raise t
"Great, really great. This is just perfect." Sett blurted out, his words full of irony. It wasn't young master Rocco, but rather that Viper! Sett gritted his teeth as he gazed at the group of men before him. At the forefront was the smiling Glenn, who didn't appear surprised that Sett was here. They were meters apart from each other. One could hardly imagine how things would end up."What brought you here?" Sett inquired with a straight face."Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Mr. Crow?" Instead of answering, Glenn instead questioned him back as he smirked. He then subtly glanced at the burly guy beside Sett. It was Macho Karl, who was silently standing there like some kind of sculpture. Glenn continued to speak. "I can see that you brought someone with you. Got scared from last time?" Hearing that, Sett's facial muscles twitched in irritation. Really now, this four-eyes was insulting him for bringing Macho Karl, yet he himself bought ten bodyguards with him? He sure knows how
After Sett had received the great news from the Divine Grace Hospital about his father, Charles Crossword, gaining consciousness from a coma, Sett was overwhelmed with a joy that was hard to describe. He couldn't wait to visit his father and mother!Before departing, Sett made sure that Mrs. Janette and her daughters received the protection that they needed when the Ratherford family decided to retaliate against them, and after receiving the confirmation from the private security service.By the way, the special security service, in terms of military power, wouldn't pale in comparison with the Ratherfords' private army.Shortly after, Sett arrived at the Divine Grace Hospital medical ward where his father and mother were.However, something he didn't expect would happen..."What do you mean I can't enter?" Presently, outside of the medical ward, Sett was stopped by the head nurse, who was constantly avoiding eye contact with him. Guilt was apparent on her flustered face."Who was it?
Inside the medical ward, Sett could be seen having a fascinating conversation with his father, Charles Crossword. They laugh together as they talk about the past.However, fun things had to end as there was a more pressing matter.Sett took a deep breath as he spoke. "Dad, what happened at that time.... Who was it?"Charles became silent. A few seconds later, he let out a sigh. As he recalled the events of an hour before the car accident took place. "Your mom and I didn't expect...."At that time, they didn't expect to receive an expensive vehicle from the Crossword family, and the ones who delivered the expensive vehicle were Madam Claire and her husband Tom. They had stated that the whole family should take a vacation using the vehicle."Lean closer, my son... The more likely person to plan to kill me...." With bated breath, Sett clenched his fist tight as he came close toward his adoptive father, Charles, who in turn whispered something in his ears. Moments after, Sett's expressi
"Hmmph, a maid dared to interrupt me?" Xander made an indifferent expression as he criticized Aunt Margarett as if it was the right thing to do! To him, there was always a status quo over the privileged and underprivileged people, and for a mere servant to intrude beyond her boundaries had to be punished!At this juncture, Nini was puffing her cheeks out as she glared at the narcissistic Xander, who didn't care if he was harming others.Suddenly, Xander felt a sharp pain in his ankle.Ah!!! Xander yelled in misery. Only now did he notice that his cousin, Nini, had kicked him. If he hadn't moved just now, that kick would have landed on his nuts! He couldn't help but sweat bullets while feeling a cold breeze passing through his crotch. On top of that, she didn't even hold back her kick!"Y-You little witc-" Xander was about to curse out loud when he noticed Nini was preparing to kick him again, this time making him shut up, as he hastily backed away in fear.This little brat! Xander c
At this time, Sett was feeling groggy as he slowly lifted his head away from the bed of his father, Charles, who was sleeping soundly. Sett stretched out his limbs, then he scratched his left cheek. Yesterday, he had volunteered that he would be right beside his parents, as there had to be someone to accompany his father while he was recovering his muscles that had gone stiff after months of not moving. Now that he thought about it, little Nini was persistent as she too wanted to accompany her dad. But to her disappointment, she was instead sternly reprimanded by her father, Charles, telling her that she still had to go to school and that she could only visit him at the weekend or after school.With that being said, Sett let out a breath. "Oh son, your leaving?"Sett nodded as he prepared some of his stuff while making small talk with his father, Charles. It could be seen that their father-son relationship was great."Son, be careful on your way," Charles said as he smiled, feeling
Sheila tilted her head in confusion, but then she noticed something was wrong. She was alarmed, especially when those men in masks got out of the black wing van and aggressively approached her with unkind eyes that showed hostility. That's when it finally hit her; her watery eyes widened in fright.However, just as she was about to cry out for help before she could do so, one of the men sprayed Sheila's face with a sleeping reagent. 'No..." Sheila struggled for a moment, dropping her handbag and spilling the plastic bag that was full of fruit. It didn't take long as she passed out.Everything was done professionally... And not a single soul in the vicinity noticed a young girl's disappearance. On top of that, the way the hospital's complex building walls were at bad angles and the positioning of the black wing van made it nearly impossible for anyone to spot that a young lady was just taken by unknown men. And the black wing van didn't even have a plate number.It was past sunset, a
There was unrest in the city, and the local police were dispatched by a certain powerful individual to conduct an investigation on a much larger scale. The media and the news stations had spread Sheila's portrait throughout the city. There was also news that one of the wealthiest individuals in the city, who owned the famous winery, issued a reward that shocked the whole city of Darian. After all, whoever had information about Sheila would get at least ten percent of the said twenty billion dollars!And indeed, there were numerous individuals calling themselves witnesses, but that too ended up in total failure. It was a dead end. Why? Because these people were merely after the money. Although they knew how to grill the witness, he ended up as a suspect instead.Presently, at the plaza, Sett could be seen sitting on the wooden bench while a dog kept barking at him as he watched the blue sky with his dark eyes. Suddenly, the man with the brown coat put down his hat, showing his bald
