Catarina drops from the chair. She hasn't died yet, still trying her best to close the fatal wound under her mouth. Both her hands, neck and her chest are all soaked with blood. She isn't able to make a voice, let alone a scream. She looks so in pain and in agony, crawling on the floor leaving the kitchen. Meanwhile, that man just ignores her in a dire state. He doesn’t care if Catarina will be able to survive after that or not. It’s as if he knows there’s nothing Catarina can do in that situation, and let her suffer for longer. He goes to the basement, and then opens a hidden door in one corner of that room. There’s a hidden passage leading to a small building for the electrical power maintenance room of Charles' mansion, about 20 meters away from this house. He knows so well about this passage, because he used to live here in the past. However, he doesn’t intend to go to this small building. He opens another hidden door, with a tunnel leading to the basement of Charles’ mansion.

What happened to Charles has caught the attention of several gangsters around California. They have been so quiet in the last ten years because of Charles's influence, and have been patient to wait for that old man to die.In fact, they already see him as a fossil even before this incident, with the thought he is a solitude person without any family and son. Soon after this incident, they start making their move.Charles himself doesn’t have any interest in this affair anymore. The only thing in his mind is all about Johann. It’s a good thing that Viona is still alive. But he can’t ignore what happened to Catarina.“Is there the need to go this far?” asks Charles, sitting on a wheelchair while observing his surroundings. He finds so many of his henchmen around that cemetery. There are too many of them, as if the one being buried is the most important woman in America.“I only left for two weeks, and look what happened to you,” replies Denzel.“Like I said. He won’t kill me,” says Char

Emma rushes to her. But Viona just turns her attention away by keeping her composed look.“Lower your gaze, peasant!” she commands coldly. “Need me to remind Victor of all the things that you’ve done to him?”“I’ve told him everything,” says Emma. “Don’t think I’m here looking for his money. I don’t give a damn about his status as the son of a wealthy businessman. I never asked him for us to be together again. I didn’t even ask him for any forgiveness.”“Yes, that’s right! You don’t deserve any forgiveness,” Viona interrupts.Victor rushes to Viona, but she immediately halts him, reminding him to keep his act together as a lackey. So, Victor just keeps silent by holding his tired face.Viona walks away, heading back to Cooper and the others who have been waiting for her. Victor glances a bit at Emma. But then he just ignores her, and rushes toward Viona.He ignores the acting as a lackey, and talks to her casually. “So, who is the guy that you see as much better than me?”“It’s none o

For the time being, the current ownership of Counterbrand is held by Judy by the virtue of the power of attorney that Victor left to Jimmy. However, Jimmy has not told Judy about the background of Victor's decision, due to the influence of Charles, who still wants to keep Judy's status as his daughter a secret. Despite holding the ownership, she had been rejecting the idea of her becoming the CEO of the company. But the others insist on appointing her as the interim leader for Victor’s replacement. At first, it was Mrs. Emilia’s idea, since she knows about Judy’s status as Victor’s sister. It’s not that everyone completely agrees with her, because she never shares about that information so far, not even to Judy. Even right now, Benjamin Smith is still coming to Emilia’s office, only to show that he is still doubting that decision. “How is she doing so far?” “She understands most of our current project, because she has been following it as Victor’s personal assistant. But she still

Elijah informs Lucas about the battered minivan. However, when Lucas tries to observe through the rearview mirror, and both of the side view mirrors, he can’t find any minivan behind him. The street is quite crowded indeed. And after all, Victor and Vincenzo are not following him too closely. Because there is already Cooper who follows Lucas up close. “Hey, are you not mistaken? A minivan?” [Yes, a minivan] Due to the unbearable curiosity, Lucas deliberately slows down the car and moves to another line, so that he can observe his back from a different perspective. And of course, Cooper immediately realizes that Lucas may already have noticed someone following him. On the next junction, Cooper turns right, and also informs Vincenzo to do so. Only then does Lucas see the minivan taking another route. “I see it. A minivan. But it took a different route.” [He must have known that you have noticed someone following you] “But you’re sure it was him?” [His appearance might look diffe
