"For God's sake, I can explain everything."Entering their apartment unit, Lucas immediately pulled Deasy to sit on the sofa. He followed and deliberately sat right next to her while looking deeply into her eyes."First, I apologize. I sincerely apologize for not being honest with you from the beginning. But there are reasons for everything.""Oh, really? So, you lied for a reason?" Deasy replied with a skeptical expression."Please..." Lucas pleaded. "Please listen to me first until I finish. I'll explain everything step by step."Deasy nodded, allowing Lucas to continue his explanation."From the beginning, I didn't intend to deceive you. Seriously, even before we met, I was assigned by my father to investigate Forty-nine.""Investigate?"Lucas nodded. Eventually, he had to explain everything without any more concealment."I don't know if you've noticed or not, but in recent years, Forty-nine seemed to be successful on the surface. However, in reality, it was in deep financial troub

Initially, according to the original plan, Deasy wanted to introduce Lucas to her mother on the next Saturday or any other holiday.However, due to the unexpected and sudden chaos after Andreas's arrival, Deasy decided to introduce Lucas to her mother today itself.Anyway, she wanted to quickly resolve each problem one by one. There should be no more obstacles or delays in her wedding plans with Lucas in the future. Regardless of any storm, Deasy had to marry that man."Mom, let me introduce. This is Deasy's new boyfriend."Diana Winterborne was taken aback. She didn't expect her daughter to suddenly visit with her new boyfriend.Diana remembered quite well. Some time ago, her daughter was sad for days, acting like a fickle teenager because she had to leave her boyfriend to get married."Deasy, why cry so much over this? It's not like there's only one guy in the world! If he's getting married, then fine, just find someone new. It's a waste to be pretty but not use it. Wasted!"Deasy i

Andreas continued to stare at Lucas' face, who was still standing firmly in front of him. The sentence his son had just uttered was still echoing clearly in his mind.As the youngest son of a man who had been designated as the heir and successor since birth, Andreas did indeed show more affection towards his son. He fulfilled all of Lucas' needs and provided extra supervision. Even from a young age, he had been molded into a great and responsible leader. Whatever it was, Andreas did it for Lucas's well-being.Even in the matter of a life partner, it was the same. Andreas intentionally sought the best candidate for Lucas, investigating every background meticulously, weighing their pedigree and worth.Out of the many women suggested by his business associates, only Devina met Andreas' standards and criteria. Besides, Devina's father had been Andreas' old friend, and Lucas himself had been friends with her for a long time. So, what else needed consideration?Initially, everything seemed

"Luc, I'll ask again. Are you seriously considering resigning from Quantum Tech? It's not easy to get your previous position. Even though you're Mr. Andreas's son, you still have to put in the effort to achieve everything."In the dining room, while enjoying breakfast together, Deasy reconfirmed the decision Lucas had already made. She asked again, simply because she was worried that her boyfriend might later regret giving up his job and all the facilities that had been closely attached to him for so long.Deasy was aware that Lucas's current position was not easy at all. He was faced with two important choices that would both impact his future.If he chose his family, Lucas would have to accept losing Deasy and their future child. But if he chose Deasy, he would undoubtedly lose his family and all the privileges that came with it.Neither Deasy nor Lucas wanted this situation. If only Andreas would give his blessing, everything would go smoothly and be fine."Why the uncertainty? We

Previously, Lucas could still maintain a relaxed demeanor as Felix examined Deasy's hard drive. However, when his assistant found something there, he became instantly curious.In Lucas's mind, he suspected that Felix had discovered data or evidence of embezzlement or money laundering that Daniel had been doing to the company all along. In any case, Lucas still thought positively that the data had been intentionally recorded or stored by Deasy, as he and Felix had suspected all along.But after reading through each document that Felix presented, Lucas was shocked. From the laptop screen, he clearly saw that the embezzlement of funds and the diversion of several vital company functions were carried out by Deasy, not Daniel Knight, the man he had been suspecting all this time.Not only that, the amount of money Deasy had embezzled was truly staggering. It's no wonder that Quantum Tech suffered losses of tens of billions of rupiah because most of the company's earnings were not deposited
