The couple ate a hearty breakfast together. Because of the incident in the morning, Suzie was lost in thought. Why did Javier suddenly kiss her? Could it be...he wanted to take a further step in their relationship? Suzie sneakingly glanced at Javier. The man did not look shy or embarrassed at what he did. Instead, he had a light smile on his face as he ate. Suzie pretended to concentrate on eating. She did not raise the matter of Javier kissing her. Although she was curious as to why Javier suddenly become intimate with her, Suzie did not dislike this change. She actually liked it. It was enough for her that Javier cherished her. But if Javier wanted more, she wouldn't refuse. Remembering his soft and gentle kiss, Suzie smiled. Well, she could look forward to what he would do more in the future. ..... Just before noon came, a maid came looking for Suzie. Another thing that changed in their peaceful life was Suzie's reputation plummeted. She had returned to the time w
In City Z's penitentiary, in a dirty hallway filled with crowded cell rooms, the sound of cursing, groans and punches could be constantly heard.A guard passed into one of the rooms and banged his baton on the prison cell gate."Quiet down, you scums!"The noise in the room turned silent. The guard looked at the three inmates who were pushing down a thin man."You three, get away from him!"The three 'tsked' and let go of the thin man."Kingsley Albrecht. You have a visitor."The thin man slowly stood up. He limped towards the guard."A-am I going to be free?"The guard smacked the thin man's head with his baton."You deaf. I said you have a visitor. Hurry up and come out."Kingsley hurriedly ran out of the cell with his leg injured. He wants to get away from this cell as much as possible.His inmates were all strong and they did not fear the two surnames that were backing him.Because of them, he was not able to properly eat and sleep. He doesn't have a peaceful day ever since he ar
Ever since Suzie entered the Albrecht family, Bianca had never forgotten her goal to seduce the favored second young master.However, Kingsley was always surrounded by many people whenever he was in the Capital. There were a lot of ladies who have the same idea as Bianca. It was hard to approach Kingsley since the competition was too fierce.Thus, many months passed yet Bianca only met Kingsley a few times. Kingsley entertained Bianca sometimes depending on his mood. But their relationship never progressed. The man was always at the center of attention and was always busy with other people. Bianca had a slim chance to be with him alone and seduce him.Time passed until one day, Bianca learned that Kingsley was suddenly arrested.The upper society was shaken by Kingsley's scandal. When he was put into prison for five years, many thought that the Albrecht family gave up on Kingsley.After all, how can the powerful Albretch family allow their favored heir to be imprisoned?Since Kingsle
Colton had been watching this case closely. He invested so much in this case without holding back. He had been cautious and never committed any mistake that might cause suspicions during the investigation.According to his spies, it was supposed to be approved today!"Have you seen what state my son is in? Could he manage the inheritance while he was sleeping on his bed? My son is invalid and can no longer take care of the property!" Colton pointed out the obvious. "We knew that, sir. However, the cause of Javier Albretch's accident is suspicious and we suspected that it was a homicide. As the guardian who will be the receiving end of the inheritance, you also fall under suspicion.""Homicide? My son was in an accident! Are you trying to tear apart our family? Do you even have proof of what you are saying!""We do."Colton halted. His eyes almost went wide.They have proof?!"Also, we can't grant you access to inheritance for another reason.""...What is it?" Colton suddenly had a ba
Inside the Albrecht mansion, Reyna staggered as she listened to her brothers’ words.Colton…has an illegitimate child?This news shocked her the most.“Don’t you have any idea that he is cultivating another son? If he approved of that child and make him the heir, what would happen to you and Kingsley?”Reyna seemed to not hear her third brother’s words. She looked at him while her lips trembled, she still haven't recovered from her shock.“How old….how old…”The third master from the Mckenzie family understood his sister’s question.“It is said that the child is already in grade school.”Reyna opened her mouth wide.Wasn’t it the time that Colton was fully trusted by her family and gave him full support?After the Mckenzie family trusted Colton, he became so busy that Reyna had only seen him once in a quarter of the year.During that time, Colton stay most of the time in the Capital and never visited her unless she made a tantrum. It was the breaking point of their marriage and Reyna'
Traquilio Mckenzie was an old man in his late seventies. Thanks to his wealth, he maintained a good figure that made him look no older than a man in his sixties.His head was full of white but his body was still strong. This old man was the current head of the Mckenzie family. After he retired from his chairman position, he handed the businesses to his eldest son. Now, he was currently enjoying the life of retirement and traveling around the world.All his children except his youngest son have a family of their own. His only daughter even managed to be married to the Albrecht family's head which caused their status and influence to grow.The old man had no regrets in life if he died now.But that changed a few days ago.Traquilio, who was enjoying the Mt. Everest view, received a call from his eldest son. After he ended the call, the old man's face turned dark. He quickly instructed his assistant to immediately book a flight.A few days later, Traquilio arrived in the country as his
Surge Piedrach entered the room grandly. The people in the room greeted him warmly.Colton gritted his teeth as he watched Surge confidently socialize with the people he gathered for this project.He snorted, "Is he the one you find as my replacement?""Yes. Mr. Piedrach offered to cover 15% of the investment with 2% less interest than what we originally agreed upon."Colton coldly smiled, "I thought you give importance to reputation? Why are you trusting a traitor and including him in this project? Do you want the whole country to be angry at you?"Surge suddenly laughed, "You must have been too caught up in the past. More than two decades have passed and people had forgotten about us. Besides, this project is entering the foreign market, not in this country. It just so happened that after my family left the country, we built strong foundations in other countries for the past decades. I am the best candidate for this."Colton clenched his fist. Surge had planned all of this. He appea
While Colton was kicked out on his own project, Traquilio and Marco finally arrived in the Alrebtch's mountain villa. Reyna welcomed his father and eldest brother. Traquilio sat on the lounge chair as he gazed deeply at his daughter, "Don't you have any idea at all that your damn husband is cheating on you?" This was the same question that was asked to Reyna by her third brother a few days ago. Being asked twice made Reyna ashamed. Her hurt pride had taken even more damage. "...I have no idea at all." "What have you been doing in the past years? You can't even wrap one man under your finger!" Reyna lowered her head. She could be haughty and arrogant toward other people. But she could not be too prideful in front of her father. After all, considering what she had done to marry Colton those years ago, it was natural for her father to be angry. "When you beg me to marry that man you said that we will not regret marrying you off to their family. Then you beg me again to trust that
