Grabbing the tall glass off the table, Herbert snorted sarcastically.
“Yesterday, Sebastian brought me Max's diary. From it, I know that a long time ago, he often spent time with his biological mother and father.”
A second later, the old man's eyebrows rose in confirmation. "Doesn't that mean, he found out about his mother's affair from the start?"
"I'm not sure, Sir. A child will not understand what infidelity is," Mia said honestly.
Hearing the defense, Herbert squeaked in annoyance. “Max is a genius. Of course he knows what infidelity is. I'm sure he also knows that the bastard is his real father. But look! Until now, he still puts on a sweet look as if I am his real father. How hypocritical."
“Why are you so sure that Mr. Max is not your biological son? I think both of you have many similarities,” the girl said while still holding the taser.
“Why would I doubt if his own mother said so? The woman even left her necklace to give to t
"What is this helmet for?" Max asked as Gabriella put a headgear on him. "Don't you remember? The doctor said that you have to be careful so you don't hit your head again," the woman explained with a serious look. "But I'm fine, Gaby. This helmet will actually hinder my movement,” Max protested pitifully. Without thinking, Gabriella shook her head. "You have promised to obey all my orders if you want to participate in this mission." A second later, the man let out a resigned sigh. "I never thought that I am going to save the box that once I wanted to burn." “Stop grumbling! Come on in action! Uncle John, please pray for us,” the woman said while clenching her fists in the air. The middle-aged man behind the wheel nodded with a faint smile. “Do you realize that this idea is so ridiculous?” Max whispered as he crept into the dark with his wife and two small dim flashlights. "Yes, but you agreed." "We look like thieves," t
“I was too afraid of being dumped. Because of it, I made up the story,” Julian said in a choked voice. “Actually, Mom gave a necklace for both of us. But, I don't accept it." The man who told the story began to wipe his wet face. His voice had been muffled by a suffocating gasp. “I was annoyed that Mom put a necklace around Max's neck, while I was asked to keep it tight. I was angry that his necklace contains a picture of Mom and you, while mine is … a man I don't know.” Hearing that unexpected statement, Herbert's breath began to falter. With trembling hands, he grabbed Julian's shoulders and shook him. "Say that it's not true! You're telling something to evade your rights.” Getting no answer, the old man's laughter began to sound insane. "You are a coward and a fool, Julian. Why do you make up such a story? It really doesn't make sense. After all, you are still my biological son, the one who deserves the top position in Quebracha.”
Mia had knocked on the door several times, but the CEO didn't answer. With faintly furrowed brows, the girl increased her voice. "Mister Julian?" Unfortunately, five seconds passed, the atmosphere behind the door was still silent. "What is he doing in there?" the girl grumbled before picking up her vibrating cell phone. A message just appeared on her screen. "How about it, Mia? How did Julian respond?” The secretary sighed reading Gabriella's question. After thinking fast, she put the phone in the pocket and stuck the access card to the sensor. In just an instant, the door could be opened. Seeing a girl trespassing, Julian didn't make a sound at all. He remained sitting in the CEO's chair with a flat and a dreamy look. "Sorry, Mister. I had to open the door because you didn't respond,” Mia explained as she was standing near the door. Once again, the secretary was greeted by the CEO's silence. Not wanting to waste time, she fina
Before Sebastian could reach Mia, Julian had grabbed him by the arm. "Don't bother her," the CEO said emphatically. "Why? You know that I can hardly stand to see people as arrogant as your brother. That girl is one of them.” A second later, Sebastian pushed Julian's hand away and continued walking. However, the CEO again stopped in his tracks. "I said, don't bother her." Sebastian snorted in disbelief. "Are you really in a love triangle with Mia?" "She is mine." An exasperated sigh suddenly escaped from Amber's mouth. Her ears were hot at Julian's statement. "Are you crazy? Since when did that girl become yours? You're already tied to me," the lady said through a pinched vocal cord. "Haven't we already broken up?" Furious with the commotion that was going on, Sebastian chuckled and jerked his arm. "I better get out of here." With quick steps, the man left the room. Little did he know that the CEO
Amber's eyeballs moved to the left and right. Since getting out of the elevator, the employees kept whispering while glancing at her. "What's wrong with them? Have they never seen anyone as beautiful as me?” the lady thought without changing her expression. Confidently, she swung her slender legs. However, the more employees she passed, the more laughter she heard. Curiosity gradually turned to suspicion. "What are they laughing at?" the lady thought sarcastically, trying to keep a frown from forming on her face. After a few moments, Amber lifted the phone in front of her face. As soon as she saw the near-perfect reflection, the lady let out a faint breath and continued walking. "Perhaps they have never seen a woman as beautiful as me." Suddenly, two female employees blocked her way. With a lopsided smile, one of them greeted, “Hello, Miss Lim. How are you?" Amber blinked with flat expression. She didn't know who the questioner
“Julian is totally an idiot,” Sebastian muttered as he swung a car key at his index finger. “Why would he think of the bastard? He must have taken advantage. The golden opportunity is already in his hands. Why would he just throw it away?” While snorting, the man pressed a button on the lock. Without any warning, a woman suddenly bumped into his shoulder. The coffee that the woman was about to drink, spilled. "Ouch!" the woman screamed because the cold liquid felt up to her chest. In just an instant, Sebastian's eyes opened wide. The thin white shirt had turned transparent. He could see two button clearly under it. "Oh my gosh! I'm really sorry, Miss. I wasn't careful enough," the man said, grabbing a handkerchief and handing it to the woman. "No, Sir. I'm the one who wasn't careful enough," the woman said as she accepted the man's gift and began to wipe. She wasn't ashamed to rub on what Sebastian wanted so badly. Noticing the two cha
"Why are you looking at me like that, Sir?" Camilla asked, dropping the shirt on the floor. The woman was happy because the man in front of her had been hypnotized by the beauty she had deliberately displayed. With narrowed eyes, Sebastian asked, "Would you like to pay for my kindness?" Camilla spontaneously smiled and walked over. "Of course. That's what I came here for. Do you mind?" "Of course not. I am actually honored to get this valuable opportunity,” the man said as he could not turn away from the challenging circles. His fingers had been twitching for the perfect timing. "Then what are you waiting for?" the woman whispered while taking Sebastian's hand. A second later, Camilla closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth that covered her prided thing. That's what she wanted to do from the first sight with the man. Realizing that he is dealing with an aggressive woman, Sebastian stepped up the play. Without waiting for permission or ord
“Stop lowering your head, Gaby. I'm not mad at you," Max said as he noticed the woman sitting next to him was still frowning. “But, I feel guilty. What if your words become true? Sebastian come here to avenge what I did." Hearing Gabriella's regret and concern, the man sighed and stroked her head. "It will not happen. I only scared you. After all, he doesn't know that you are involved in setting up the trap." With pursed lips and furrowed brows, the woman considered her husband's words. "But he could have traced Camilla's trail leading to Rose, then to me, then ending with you," Gabriella explained curtly. Her thoughts had been clouded by the image of Sebastian's face filled with hatred. A second later, Max kissed his wife's forehead. “Gaby, didn't you promise not to talk about Quebracha? Since Sebastian is also part of that company, how about you ignore him too?” The woman suddenly took a deep breath. “Should we buy two tasers like Mi
