The Heaventown highway seemed more congested than usual. Traffic jams occurred on several lanes of the road. Honking and swearing could be heard from the drivers. One of them came from the car Jeremy, Jonathan, and James were riding in."This is all because of you, James!" snapped Jeremy as he looked back with a glare. "You've reached your limit tonight."James just looked down in fear, not daring to look up."You almost made us late for tonight's event," Jonathan said, his hands clenched tightly into fists. "If we're not allowed into the venue, I'll kick your ass."James let out a long breath, leaning his back against the back of the chair. His gaze turned to the right and left. There were other vehicles stuck along with the car he was riding in."Shit!" Jeremy hit the steering wheel until the car horn sounded. His jaw tightened until his veins popped out. His eyes looked dewy as his breath began to catch. His face was red from holding back his anger."What exactly do you have in min

"Make sure the explosion happens after the event," said the first person to speak.James immediately froze. His face was instantly pale. His eyes rounded for a few moments. With his heart racing, he tried to peek outside."Are you sure this restroom is safe?" the man asked again."This restroom is far away from the main restroom. So, it's unlikely that any of the guests would enter this restroom. I can confirm its safety."James quickly pulled his body to its original position. He pointed his cell phone at the bottom of the slightly open stall and started recording a video. He didn't know why he was doing this, but he had a feeling that the two men were up to something sinister. "We'd better get ready at the location," said the one who spoke first, "I'll make sure the bomb is properly installed at the designated location.""Alright, I'll do the same."The conversation ended as footsteps slowly moved away from James' toilet cubicle. The door opened and soon closed from the outside.Ja

Although they already knew he was coming, seeing him in person made their admiration for Henry Hulbert unstoppable."That guy is amazing," Diego said, clapping his hands. His gaze was fixed on the large television screen in front of him. "I was really lucky when he told me I was his friend. His words will directly affect our company."Caraline herself was suddenly nervous when she saw Henry Hulbert. Although the man was still far away from her, the pressure the Vice President of Universe Corporation was putting on her made it uncomfortable to sit.Caraline

"De-Deric?" Caraline turned her head for a moment, squeezing her dress. "What did I ask him for? I can't do it.""Why?" asked Diego, "isn't he just a dog?"Helen and Lucy, who had overheard the conversation, turned their heads. They exchanged glances for a moment but then chose to remain silent."Come on, having a dog isn't that difficult," Diego persuaded."Unfortunately, I don't want to let him out of the house. Deric just had an accident.""An accident? What happened to him?" Diego asked.Caraline let out a long breath. "Yes, he did. That's why I don't want him to go through anything heartbreaking again.""I won't hurt him. So""So, I won't come to the dinner if you keep talking about Deric in front of me." Caraline rolled her eyes. For some reason, she was getting annoyed with Diego. The man seemed genuinely curious about Deric.Diego was suddenly thoughtful. "Alright, I won't talk about it anymore. But, you have to invite me to dinner.""You get what you want."There was no more

The event was also viewed live on the internet and videotrons along the street.

"Are you ready to meet Henry Hulbert?" Diego asked."Ready or not, I have to meet him." Caraline walked past Diego and sat back in her chair.The show had entered its final act. A singer was performing on stage. It was already ten o'clock in the evening."You could say I'm feeling nervous right now too." Diego sat down in the chair."Haven't you met him before?" asked Caraline."But this pressure is very different than when I first met him."Caraline rolled her eyes. "That makes no sense.""You want to know why? It's because I'm going to meet Henry Hulbert with you. I'm afraid that either you'll fall for him and dump me or he'll fall for you. When that happens, of course, I can't do anything."Caraline rolled her eyes. "That's disgusting."Diego chuckled. "Isn't it natural to like things that are perfect?"Caraline instantly turned her head. Diego's last words sent her straight into a daydream. She agreed with him about humans naturally liking things to be perfect. However, when she t

Caraline and Catherine stared at each other hatefully for several seconds. Both women had high egos and high self-esteem, and were unwilling to budge, feeling the most superior and capable."You're disgusting," Catherine snapped, rolling her eyes. "If these people knew who you are, they would stay away and sneer at you.""Don't talk about your ugliness, Catherine," Caraline retorted with a faint smile, "putting me down doesn't make you taller and better than me.""You're always so good at bragging." Catherine snorted, crossing her arms over her chest.Wilson just smiled at the argument. He chose not to interfere and let Catherine do as she pleased."I know you've always envied me, Catherine." Caraline stroked her left earring. "Is it because I have everything you want?""You must be joking." Catherine laughed even as her heart throbbed with pain. Caraline's guess was right on target."I can see that in your eyes.""Shut up!" snapped Catherine with a sharp glare. She was in a really ba

"I... planted a bomb in Caraline's car," Wilson said quietly, but Catherine could hear him."Are you crazy?" Catherine immediately pushed Wilson's body away, staring in disbelief. "You've gone too far, Wilson. Stop now or you will regret it.""Keep your voice down, Catherine." Wilson gave the code with a forefinger in front of his lips. "Let me explain first."Catherine chuckled softly, giving Wilson an incredulous look. "I won't help you if something gets out of hand.""Aren't you angry and upset with Caraline, Catherine? This is the perfect time to get back at her for all her arrogance. Of course, I won't go as far as killing that lowly woman. I'm just giving her a shock and a lesson. It's like scaring a child with a bunch of clowns."Catherine closed her eyes, massaging her forehead a few times. She honestly did not agree with Wilson's methods. However, she was upset and angry with Caraline. So, what should she choose now?"Tell me your plan, Wilson," Catherine finally said. She wo
