Innocent Chim stared at Lord Walter, completely speechless. He couldn't figure out what to say. Did Walter actually kill Dr. Lucas? Innocent didn't know Walter well, but he knew the old man dealt in shady business. Their few encounters had been hostile; Lord Walter had once threatened Innocent, which is why Innocent had taken Walter's lands—to show him he was old and weak. He only gave the land back because he feared Quincy Stone.Quincy Stone is your son-in-law, man! Go home and enjoy your life, Innocent thought. But no, the old man was still running around, killing people, and desperately trying to partner with someone to destroy Quincy."Why did you do that?" Innocent demanded, blowing hot cigar smoke directly at Walter's face.Lord Walter sneered. He poured some brandy into his glass, drank it quickly, poured more, drank it all, and then cleared his throat loudly before speaking."I had to do what was necessary. Lucas knew too much. If I didn't end his life, he would talk, and that

He was confused about what to do. After thinking hard, going back and forth, Quincy decided to drive straight home."KA Company must be very powerful. I suggest we send them a partnership proposal," Khloe said over dinner that night.Quincy looked at her and smiled. "I'll think about it," he assured her, taking a bite of his coleslaw salad.Later, in their luxurious master bedroom, Khloe told Quincy, "My feet hurt. They need a deep, natural hand massage."Quincy lifted her legs from the floor and placed them on his lap. He gently massaged them with his hands. Khloe quickly fell asleep. Quincy, who was already tired, soon fell asleep, too.Days turned into weeks. Lord Walter was growing more depressed every day because of the disaster at Lucas Hospital. Innocent Chim still hadn't replied to him. Walter worried constantly that Innocent might expose him to Quincy. He was battling a storm of thoughts.He decided to visit Lucas Hospital to have his vital signs checked. His medical records w

Quincy was shocked when he heard the name Deborah, but he hid it. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Deborah, and who else, huh?" His face was turning red with anger.He released the girl, stood up, and walked around the room, visibly disturbed. So Deborah was capable of this extreme action.He paused. He needed to know the full mission. He looked at the young woman on the bed, whose eyes were red and full of tears. Her whole body was shaking."What exactly was the assignment, young lady?" Quincy asked, his voice harsh.The fear of Deborah kept Lucy silent. She was stuck. She opened her mouth but couldn't speak, breathing rapidly. She felt weak; the strength was draining from her body. She crawled to Quincy's feet, grabbed his leg, and begged for mercy."Please, you have to forgive me. I beg you, sir." She wiped the tears and mucus from her face. "I can't say more than this, or today will be my last day. Deborah is not someone you cross and get away with it." She sobbed.Quincy's heart sof

The house stayed quiet all day. Kim Walter quickly took Ashley to their room, giving Khloe and Quincy some private time. Khloe wasn't truly angry at Quincy, but she definitely didn't want to talk to him."Let's go to a seven-star restaurant for some fine dining," he offered. Khloe ignored him."How about a vacation, baby?" She ignored that, too.As they were about to go to sleep, Khloe was already settled on her side of the bed. Just as she was drifting off, Quincy gently lifted her legs and started massaging them—exactly the way she loved. Khloe could never say no to a massage. She completely relaxed, resting her feet on his lap while he worked.He eventually grew tired and tried to stop, but she complained, "That joint still hurts," forcing him to continue. Two hours later, he was still massaging her beautiful legs.Under the duvet, where her face was hidden, she was smiling. She felt a surge of pride that her husband hadn't easily fallen for Deborah’s scheme.However, she still need

Lord Walter started sweating heavily. Not after all this effort I put in, he thought desperately. Guests were still arriving and leaving. His friends kept calling out to him, asking him to join a photograph, discuss something briefly, or hear a funny joke.He couldn't be bothered with any of it right now. All he wanted was for Quincy Stone to drop dead on that stage.A few minutes later, Samus walked up to the stage to give his thank-you speech. Lord Walter stared at him as Samus stood on the beautifully decorated platform, waiting for the crowd to quiet down. As Walter stared, he mentally replaced Samus with Quincy. He was so lost in this thought that he didn't notice his hired assassin signaling him.The plan was simple: once Quincy was on stage, Lord Walter would give the signal. The assassin, using a gun fitted with a silencer to muffle the sound, would shoot Quincy.Lord Walter's fatal mistake was not showing the assassin a picture of Quincy. He hadn't thought it was necessary.Th
