Chapter: Temperature Rise "If it can be destroyed on its own, why didn't he just destroy it right then and there? Why keep it?" Felix muttered as he opened the document he was reading.It contained detailed descriptions of all the components used to build the shredder, along with their uses and weaknesses. Even the risks associated with each component were clearly stated, accompanied by warnings to exercise caution.On the last two pages, there were several ways to improve the machine and how to destroy it, most of which made Felix frown in confusion."Sir, what matters is not the person, but what that person has," said Secretary Jorell."Not everyone can destroy this machine.""If even its creator can't destroy it, how could I, who knows nothing about it?" Felix stared blankly at Secretary Jorell."Stop your nonsense and quickly find someone who can destroy it. I don't have much time."Secretary Jorell opened his mouth to argue, but Felix immediately interrupted him sharply. "Do you want me to fire you right

Chapter: Another Failed Mission Secretary Jorell was stunned for a moment.But then he nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling.This last chance was something he had been eagerly awaiting and hoping for."Okay. I'll do it right away. Sir, this time I won't let you down. Even if I have to cross a sea of fire and climb a mountain of knives, I will try to make up for my mistakes.""Stop your nonsense and prove it," replied Felix, causing Secretary Jorell to shut his mouth immediately.However, his broad smile was still clearly visible. His head continued to nod like a broken doll."Felix, I finally found you."Suddenly, Van came running towards Felix.He patted him on the shoulder as he stood beside him, catching his breath. "I've been calling you from across the street, but you didn't hear me."As he spoke, he pointed in the direction he was referring to. It was quite a distance from where Felix was standing. And with the noise of vehicles passing by, it was understandable that Felix hadn't heard him."What's going on?"

Chapter: Opportunity For Jorell Felix stared at Clarita for a moment, not looking surprised at all by her presence."Let's go home."Instead of answering, he walked past Clarita, causing her to rush after him."The CCTV in the house is on, right? Why didn't you check it? Has it been secured by the police?" Clarita asked in rapid succession.Felix remained silent.Clarita, annoyed at not getting an answer, stopped walking and pulled Felix's arm so he would look at her. "Felix, don't even think about hiding it from me. There can be no more secrets. You have to tell me everything."“You know, after this incident, I hate being lied to the most. I don’t want to be a fool for the umpteenth time,” Clarita said firmly.Felix looked at her for a long time, then raised his hand and touched the top of Clarita’s head. “Let’s talk about it on the way. Come on.”Clarita's beautiful eyebrows were still furrowed, a sign that her anger had not subsided.However, when she saw her brother's face, which still looked gentle as he looked

Chapter: Monitoring Felix stepped out of the courtroom and stood in the courtyard, taking a deep breath. An overwhelming sense of relief filled his heart.Finally, after all the complicated issues that had taken so long to resolve, it was over.He never imagined he would face all this, let alone succeed in bringing everyone involved to justice.The corners of Felix's lips curved into a slight smile. "Rest in peace, Chloe."Just then, his cell phone rang.Clarita's name appeared clearly on the screen when he took out his phone.Without hesitation, he answered it and said, "Everything is done. They got what they deserved.""Hurry to the hospital! Caitlin is unconscious!" Clarita's scream was so loud and panicked that it jolted Felix out of his calm state.He immediately walked towards the car. His steps were so fast that he was practically running. "What happened?""I don't know." Clarita finally broke down in tears. She was screaming in fear. "Hurry up and come. I'm scared.""Wait for me." Felix turned of

Chapter: End of Session The Chief Justice gave his approval, and four people—a burly man, two elderly people, and a pregnant woman—were brought into the courtroom.Everyone's gaze immediately turned to them with curiosity. Some people even began to make the most obvious guesses.This was especially true after they saw Lucien's expression, which changed from surprise to anger.Avery glanced at Lucien and was even more grateful in his heart that he was no longer on his side."Your Honor, these are the people Lucien wanted to get rid of," said Felix, causing a commotion.His sharp gaze was fixed on the burly man as he continued, "He is one of the people who works under Lucien. He knew more or less about the crimes he had committed. Due to his family's financial difficulties, he had participated several times. After the first hearing was over, Lucien ordered him to get rid of the people he was hiding. But because he refused, their families were to be completely eliminated so as not to influence today's hearing.”

Chapter: Second Session The courtroom felt heavier this time, and the visitor seats were filled with people. This was obvious because the previous hearing had attracted much attention, especially from the media.When the Chief Justice banged his gavel, opening the continuation of the trial, everyone spontaneously closed their mouths and watched in a tense atmosphere."Today's hearing will discuss two points: the poisoning case of Mr. Felix Pratama's family and the parties allegedly hidden by the defendant, Mr. Lucien. The court also notes Mr. Avery's accidental statement at the previous hearing. Plaintiff, please begin," said the Chief Justice firmly.Attorney Bo immediately stood up and opened his file. "Your Honor, the forensic laboratory test results prove that Caitlin, Mr. Felix Pratama's sister, and all the workers in his house were poisoned with thallium sulfate. This poison works slowly, causing nerve damage, and is consistent with the symptoms experienced by all the victims. This poison had been spre

The Substitute Son-in-law's Revenge
Having a mother and brother who were always extorting his money, making him a cash cow, was something no one wanted. However, it was much worse when his wife's wealthy family did not accept him. He was being made the family driver, being insulted with words that should not be received by a son-in-law, seeing firsthand the affair committed by his wife, and being reported to the police for violence just for injuring the man who was his wife's affair. When all that happened, not once did Ethan blame them. He could only curse and fantasize about his fate of not having an influential family. However, who would have thought that when he was at the lowest point in his life, an older man suddenly came and introduced himself as his Grandfather. From then on, he became determined to avenge all the humiliation and pain he had felt on them, one by one. He would not let anyone escape his clutches. The Ethan of today is no longer Ethan, the driver in his wife's family, but Ethan Kinsey Aldebaron, the only grandson of the Kinsey family, the biggest business owner and most feared gangster.

They unitedly said firmly."Look behind you! Make sure if that car is following us or not!" Ethan ordered directly.The atmosphere became silent as they looked back. Hazel even narrowed her eyes as she looked at the rearview mirror, trying to focus. But instantly, her eyes widened in surprise."Sir, isn't that Miss Celeste's car?""Connect with the car in front!" Instead of answering, Ethan gave Elio another instruction, which he immediately carried out."Speed up the pace!" he ordered directly.The two people in the front car looked at each other, confused. While doing so, the man next to him checked something on his tablet and then whispered, "Someone is following us behind."Suddenly, the man driving turned his head in surprise for a moment before focusing on driving.

Chapter: Had to persuade him"We can't just sit around waiting for the trial! Father, we must do everything possible to get my husband out! Our family is very powerful and has many great people. There's no way there's no way to turn this case around!" Mrs. Bernita, who was only wearing her nightgown with her hair tousled and her face without make-up, shouted excitedly in front of everyone who was discussing in the living room. "If you can't defend yourself, just say you were framed! Or maybe we'll just find a scapegoat! I believe that my husband couldn't have done that. Even if he did, that bastard Ethan provoked him!"Great Mistress Celeste closed her eyes to hold back her emotions at the sight of her current appearance."Ethan's evidence is so strong that it's hard to deny. Even the lawyer said it might be difficult to reverse the situation," Great Master Celeste said."Then just tell me about the previous matter!" Mrs. Bernita replied quickly. "He beat Lucas and didn't give Ariana a living. He's also planning

Chapter: I think I know it"I don't understand what you're talking about." Ariana turned her face away, reluctant to look at Ethan who looked intimidating."When you treated me badly and made me the family driver, I accepted it without protest. Every time you spoke, you insulted me and cornered me. I kept quiet and always obeyed whatever orders you gave me. No matter how hard it was for me to carry them out."Ethan pulled Ariana's face back to look at him. "I might have been able to ignore all those things, but, after all I did, why did you betray me?"Ariana snorted sarcastically and her gaze was filled with contempt. "You're just a substitute groom and we don't love each other, so why are you acting like you love me so much?""Love and betrayal are two different things. Wouldn't you betray me if I loved you?" Ethan asked back."Don't dream!" snapped Ariana who then chuckled softly. "You don't deserve to be my best man, even if you become the CEO of Zenith Corp. To me, you're still a poor loser!""So, that's w

Chapter: RampageHazel looked at Ethan who was also staring at her expressionlessly. She put her phone away and said, "Miss Celeste would like to see you.""Let it go," Ethan replied briefly.Hazel nodded in understanding and went back to talking on her cell phone. "Mr. Ethan is in his office."After that, the call was unilaterally disconnected by Ariana. Hazel's expression looked annoyed, but a second later it returned to normal.Without changing his reclined seating position, Ethan said firmly. "Postpone all my schedules for the time being and you help me to guard this room. Don't let anyone interrupt, no matter how important the business is!""Yes." With that Hazel stepped out and stood in front of the room.Not long after that Ariana arrived along with Jade. The woman wearing her work clothes seemed to be in such a hurry that she didn't care about Hazel's presence and immediately entered Ethan's room.Jade was about to come in, but Hazel immediately held her back and pulled her away.

Chapter: Don't Want to MeetFacing back-to-back questions with demanding expressions like this clearly terrified Ariana.She had never faced anything like this before, especially when other reporters joined in with more pressing questions."Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Please don't discuss things that shouldn't be. I'm here to ask for your support for the slander that attacked my father," said Ariana, trying to calm down.But the people only intensified and were now even standing with their eyes wide with curiosity."Miss Ariana, how can you call it something it's not? This is your problem, and you can't run away from it.""Do you perhaps want to deny it?""Please give an explanation regarding the circulating video. Ms. Ariana, is that true? You had an affair but filed for divorce first?""Miss Ariana, do you really not know anything about Mr. Ethan's identity, who turned out to be the CEO of Zenith Corp? Is that also why you had an affair and divorced him because you thought he was poor?""Now
