Chapter: The commotionFelix didn't respond to this question right away.He was silent for quite a while, staring at the sky with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, considering what to say to Clarita and what he should actually do.However, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't find a solution to this problem other than what he had said during the meeting earlier."If you need my help, just say so. Maybe I can do something," Clarita said softly.Felix immediately snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Clarita with a smile. "I already discussed it earlier. You don't need to worry.""Oh, right, how is Caitlin? I'll visit her tomorrow morning."When she heard the name of her beloved sister mentioned, Clarita became distracted. She smiled brightly and replied, "She's fine. The doctor said she's progressing well. There probably won't be any serious problems.""I'm glad to hear that," Felix muttered.This news at least calmed his mind and lightened his heart."She keeps looking for yo

Chapter: You Know Him Very Well"That's a stupid question," Nadia snapped, then turned to walk away.But Freya quickly grabbed her wrist and forced her to look back at her.Her aura became increasingly intimidating. "You really are a spy.""Who sent you? If you tell me now and surrender, I'll ask Mr. Felix to forgive you.""Then what if I don't?" Nadia interrupted quickly, causing Freya to pause for a moment.But in the end, she regained her composure. "If you insist, then don't blame me if I take harsh measures.""Nadia, don't think that by acting professional you can fool everyone. Mr. Felix may be fooled by your looks, but I'm not," she continued sarcastically.Suddenly, her words made Nadia chuckle briefly. "Mr. Felix is not that kind of person.""Oh? So you know him better than I do," Freya replied dismissively. "He is extraordinary, but he is still a man. All he sees is beauty."Then she pulled Nadia closer and whispered threateningly. "Stop or I'll make you regret it."Unfortunately, none of what she said sca

Chapter: Spy?The main building of the Pratama Group stood tall like a monument to power. The building, which usually looked like any other, now seemed to glow with light. Its black windows reflected the gray morning sky—a sign that today was no ordinary day.The convoy of cars came to a stop right in front of the main entrance.Felix got out first after Secretary Jorell opened the car door.Behind him, one by one, the people who had been handpicked by his father step inside: Arden Riviero, Nadia Estrel, and Marcell Wynne.Their aura is different—calm, experienced, and confident.In the lobby, several managers and directors exchange glances."Aren't those the branch people?" whispers one of them.Felix didn't slow his pace at all, but he replied coldly. "Today, they are not guests. They are going home."**Board Meeting Room.When the meeting room door opened, all the members of the executive board who were already seated spontaneously stood up in unison.Some of them looked stiff. While others wor

Chapter: LoyaltyThe Pratama Group branch office is situated in a luxurious, industrial-style high-rise building in a quiet area.As soon as Felix's black car stopped in front of the lobby, all activity seemed to freeze. The employees stared nervously, as if the legend they had only ever heard about had finally appeared before their eyes.Felix stepped out of the car in a sharp black suit. Jorell was behind him, carrying a folder containing a list of candidates.On the top floor, the meeting room was waiting for us. Four people were sitting there—senior officials who had been handpicked by Felix's late father.When Felix entered, they automatically stood up.The senior man with silver hair bowed respectfully first.Arden Riviero—Branch Director, Felix's father's loyalist."Welcome, Mr. Felix. We have been waiting a long time to meet the heir. It's good to see you back looking so dashing," he said.Felix smiled slightly, but his gaze remained sharp. "I didn't come for a welcome ceremony. I came looking

Chapter: Branch peopleAfter spending the whole night trying to communicate with the system to ask about its condition, the system finally recovered in the morning.Although he felt exhausted, when he saw the system's transparent screen appear, Felix became very excited. "EasySync, are you okay?" [Yes, sir.] "Really?" Felix looked closely at the transparent screen in front of him, as if it were someone he loved dearly. "What happened to you last night? You scared me."[The system experienced a temperature increase due to excessive use.]Felix immediately frowned in confusion. "Excessive use? Since the Lucien incident, you've been experiencing errors. I've even failed several missions."Ding![The system has detected a dangerous component.][Please remove it immediately so the system can return to normal.]Felix's eyebrows furrowed even deeper upon hearing this. "How can I do that when just being near it makes you almost explode?""EasySync, what will happen if I ignore your warning about the emergency

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

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
