"What the heck is going on?" Beatrice exclaimed, her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes widening in shock.They had been sent a letter telling them they were sued for the theft. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they exchanged glances, their expressions etched with a mix of fear and confusion.Beatrice gasped, her hand instinctively covering her mouth. "Sued? How is that even possible?"Sage's voice trembled with disbelief. "What the fuck is wrong with that stupid girl?"Looking across the road, their gaze landed on her; Irene. She stood a bit farther from them. Beatrice's breath caught in her throat as she whispered, "Irene... Why is she here?"They, her and Sage, walked closer to her, taking a threatening stance opposite her.Beatrice scoffed in disbelief. "I can't believe you're suing us for fifty million! Like what the hell do you think you are?" she asked,her eyes burning in anger. Sage chuckled in response.Sage chimed in with a chuckle, his jaw tightening. "She'd do anyt
"Yeah, we don't. And where's your hero now?" Sage's tone dripped with mockery, his words a taunting jeer.This was when Henry came to Irene's mind. She figured he must have left the place by now since he had no reason to wait for her. She felt like she was a burden to him, to the point that he suspected her of something she didn't even know about!"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Did he dump you?" Sage mockingly remarked as pushed her on her shoulder. His face contorted into a sly, self-satisfied smirk.She felt the urge to deliver a resounding slap to his face, but she couldn't understand why fear held her back. She realized that she wasn't strong enough to overcome the trauma he had put her through."What?" He chuckled disdainfully. "You can't do it? You weakling!" This time around, he pushed her so hard that she stumbled and crashed to the ground. Pain shot through her, and she winced.Kneeling down to her level, Sage sneered, his voice dripping with scorn. "First, you
Henry stood there, dumbfounded, as Irene created a clear boundary between them, 'stranger-zoning' him, if there was even a word like that.She didn't even give him a chance to say a word as immediately a taxi came, she hopped into it and left instantly.He suddenly felt guilty and frustrated for misjudging her without even wanting to hear from her side. But the way it was, he couldn't help it. Everything felt too suspicious, from the way she came into his life like a good girl without insulting him like others, the way she was too kind, and the way she peeped back into the car.He almost forgot these were just normal human characteristics.He remembered how cold he had been to her all because of his stupid insecurities. Although she was a nice girl, he was too blinded by the fact that his life was in danger. He didn't even know what to believe anymore or whom to trust. "Damn!" He stomped his feet and hit his hands on his car, before running his hands through his hair.He decided to
What the heck was happening???Fear rushed through his body as he realized he was trapped, with the vehicles forming barriers that blocked any chance of escape. His heart pounded in his chest as he scanned the faces of the drivers and passengers in the surrounding cars. Some wore expressions of anger and hostility, while others seemed eerily calm, their eyes fixed on him. Questions swirled in Henry's mind. Who were these people? What did they want from him? As if in response to his questions, a figure emerged from one of the cars surrounding him. It was a man, tall and imposing, dressed in a sharp suit that spoke of power and influence. He seemed like a boss of some shady group. Hold up, he could probably recall him.He was Finn Mu, the owner of a deadly mercenary that gets hired to do such shady business. They called themselves the Greenhill Terrors and were always getting into problems with the White Group. Before he could make sense of the situation, the man's voice boomed,
Henry's heart skipped a beat as he saw the car hurtling towards him. Instinctively, he rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding being crushed by the oncoming vehicle. He rolled to his feet, his eyes scanning the chaotic scene.What the fuck was that? He was thankful he saw the car coming on time! His eyes traveled to the car that just parked a bit far away from them. His eyes narrowed as he gazed silently at it.At that moment, a thug at his back felt it was the right opportunity to strike and crept from behind, grabbing wooden plank, heading over to strike him with it.He smirked as he raised it over his head, preparing to land it with so much force…Henry, whose eyes were still clearly focused on the car, held the wooden plank with a little bit of his strength and used it to carry him up, kicking him in his stomach and causing him to fly far away from the scene.He turned around and revealed a smirk etched with menace."You thought you could play a smart move?" he sneered, his voice
Henry stood there, his eyes wide with disbelief. Was he seeing things, or was this a dream? How could Simon be standing before him?He was definitely sure that Simon had been captured, and they planned to extract information from him about his boss by any means necessary.Now how was he here?"Why are you so surprised to see me? That expression on your face doesn't suit you," Simon sneered, his hands casually tucked into his pockets."Why don't you just respectfully die and spare me the trouble of wanting to kill you, huh?" Simon mockingly taunted, causing Henry to scoff in response."I can see it now, you managed to escape," Henry muttered, his tone laced with incredulity."Escape? From where, exactly?" Simon inquired, a smile playing on his lips. Henry was skeptical; he knew for sure that Simon was held captive by his family's soldiers. Yet, here he stood in front of him, and Henry couldn't understand how he had managed to break free."Don't worry yourself too much, Henry. You'll
The room fell into a state of shock. Even the twin brother was astonished at how Henry knew about it. Johannes Tan's voice broke the silence."What?" He exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief. Henry nodded, confirming that he was sure about his conclusion."But how is that possible?" Johannes Tan questioned, his voice filled with confusion and curiosity."Simon is always one step ahead of us," Henry replied, his expression turning serious. "The person he is working with have a lot of information about me already. I can't help but wonder what more kind of information they have and what their next move might be." He ran his hands through his hair, his face stern.Henry's face was filled with disappointment, but he didn't hold Tan accountable for it.He understood that if Tan was aware of Simon's twin brother, he would have done his research well to ensure he captured the real Simon."But how did you come to know that this is his twin brother? Does Simon actually have a twin? Are you
Henry furrowed his brow in confusion, unable to grasp the reason he was lamenting. Is his mother in trouble? And could this really be a trap? How did Simon know he would be here?Out of curiosity, Henry decided to go and visit Stella.Besides, Simon wasn't someone he could easily underestimate."Look, Tan, make sure he doesn't escape from your hold and stay guarded. Watch your back!" Henry advised, emphasizing his words with a decisive nod.Henry strode toward his car, climbed in, and sped away.His heart raced as worry consumed him. He had to go save Stella at all costs before she gets kidnapped by him, or worse, killed.But seriously, what the fuck was their aim of doing all this? He might not be the smartest, but for sure, he knew there were many open chances for them to have killed him. But it's like they keep delaying it for one reason or the other!He pulled out his phone and dialed Stella's number. She answered immediately. "Hey, Henry, is something wrong?""Mum, where the h
