Chapter: Lucien's appearance "Miss, you should talk. The longer you wait, the more you will suffer." The detective facing Clarita in the interrogation room was getting annoyed.A day had passed, but this girl still hadn't given any information.Even though she had to stay in a room that some people found very scary, Clarita remained calm.She only spoke when she needed to go to the toilet. The rest of the time, she sat silently like a statue, completely unresponsive to the police's words and provocations."Do you want your sister dragged here, too?" As soon as these words were spoken, Clarita looked up, staring sharply at the man before her.However, this made the detective feel happy. He smiled crookedly and continued, "I just got news that your sister has regained consciousness. Should I bring her here to be interrogated with you?"Clarita slammed the table hard. "Don't you dare do that!""You can do whatever you want to me, but not to my sister! Let her recover in peace. Don't bother her.""That's not possibl

Chapter: Sarina"But the situation requires us to find a replacement immediately. Even if it's only temporary, we still have to carry out this plan," Freya replied, expressing her disagreement."The future of the company depends on tonight's decision."“What we face depends on how we respond.” “If Mr. Felix hears what you said today, do you think he’ll let you get away with it?” Secretary Jorell glared at Freya coldly. The Finance Director, after all, only prioritizes profits. However, Freya was one of the staff members who had worked since Mr. Zay Pratama's heyday.He thought she would be different from most other finance directors, or at least show some support, as she did for the previous leader. Freya froze instantly. She swallowed nervously and dared not respond. “You speak as though Mr. Felix will never return to this company. Madam, do you know something about this matter?” A chill ran through Freya’s entire body when these words were spoken.As everyone stared at her with various e

Chapter: Investors Meeting A tense and frightening atmosphere enveloped the executive meeting room. The large glass windows offered a beautiful view of the city, adorned with the sunset, but no one had time to enjoy it.All eyes were fixed on the projector screen displaying an article that dragged Felix and his siblings' names into the spotlight.The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, Graham Abigail, tapped the tip of his pen on the glass table. His voice was deep and cold as he opened the meeting.“Ladies and gentlemen. We all know why we are here tonight. Our CEO has been missing for several days and is suddenly involved in a serious issue. The company cannot be left without leadership and suffer significant losses.”The Chief Financial Officer, Freya Andersen, pressed the projector remote. The image changed, showing breaking news about gangsters in the basement. “With news like this, it’s not impossible that the company could face a deadly attack soon.”“Not many people know for now, but our stocks have

Chapter: Investor Meeting "Sir, you—""Follow me!" Before Secretary Jorell could finish his sentence, Miles interrupted him and walked away.Secretary Jorell suppressed his confusion and hurried after him, who was heading to the basement."Mr. Miles," called Secretary Jorell when he saw Jeslyn's brother getting into the car. Meanwhile, his secretary stood by the door.“Talk inside,” said Miles.The secretary smiled and motioned Secretary Jorell to quickly get into the car.“You wait outside.” Miles’ voice was heard again after Secretary Jorell sat beside him.“Yes, sir.” The car door closed, and he walked to the front of the car, standing guard obediently.“Mr. Miles, what exactly do you want to talk about that you have to do it here?” Secretary Jorell finally couldn’t help but ask.Miles didn’t answer immediately. He handed over an iPad displaying a photo of a man in formal attire.Secretary Jorell was initially confused, but then shocked and nervous. Miles observed everything carefully.“Do you know him?” Mi

Chapter: Miles"If we keep avoiding them like this, they'll forcefully drag us away." The more Clarita thought about it, the more anxious she became.The only person she could rely on hadn't shown up yet, making her extremely restless."Caitlin's condition hasn't improved. Austin too... I don't know what happened to him. But he refuses to talk to me. Anyone, you must contact everyone to help us.” Clarita nodded confidently at her own words. “My father’s friends … contact them all. They must be able to help us.”“Is it okay to involve them? I think this isn’t as simple as we thought. Miss, it’s better if we wait for Mr. Felix,” Dominic replied cautiously.“There’s no need to wait anymore. We’ll find our own way. Why should we wait for him if Felix can leave without caring about us? Thinking about it is just a waste of time,” Clarita said, then took her phone and contacted the people in question.Dominic could only watch helplessly. But deep down, he told himself he had to resolve this issue quickly

Chapter: Get it All DoneSecretary Jorell sat in his chair with a troubled expression. His hands clutched his hair, leaving it disheveled. His appearance was far from the neatness he usually displayed.The executive board members had left after being stunned by the news that made their hearts stop.They were too panicked and immediately went about their respective tasks after carefully devising a plan.“I can’t let Mr. Felix’s hard work go to waste. But what should I do?” Secretary Jorell groaned in frustration.In this situation, his mind felt blocked. He couldn’t think of anything except worrying about Mr. Felix and his siblings. As he was banging his head in frustration, he suddenly remembered something and immediately sat up with sparkling eyes. “I know what I have to do.” With that, he hurried to the sales team’s office.“Hold a big sale for all our products,” he said bluntly, surprising all the team members. They looked at Secretary Jorell in confusion and then exchanged glances. “Secretary Jore

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.

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
