It was just the next morning after the news went out, and the matter had already circulated throughout Glacia City.It was as though groups of people were personally sharing the news with every neighborhood in the city.It was even more surprising that every single person who learned about it never stopped blaming Starling Entertainment Company and demanding that the government hold them responsible for the missing people.At this moment, the authorities had been summoned to investigate the matter.Given how the issue continued to capture people's attention, Roderick thought of handling it very quickly.Then, he headed to the secret location where Anabella and her team were being held......In the quiet sitting room, Roderick was seated, and behind him stood some of the men Tony had brought along to the location, all standing gallantly, protecting the War King.While Tony respectfully poured tea into the cup on the table before his boss.Roderick sipped the tea before casting a cold

Back in the building where Anabella and her team were captured, Roderick was surprised to learn that Margaret Houston, the CEO of Starling Entertainment Company, was the Golden Lady Anabella had mentioned.He was shocked to discover that she was truly the mastermind behind the entire plan.After Anabella requested the land documents from him—and was about to blackmail him the day before—Roderick already had an idea of who must have sent her.He was certain it could be no one else but Caleb Houston.Since losing over two hundred million on a bad land investment, Caleb had been desperate to find a way to cover the loss by any means.Wasn't it really foolish of him that the only solution he could think of was to hijack Roderick's land on Tuchel Avenue?Having sent thugs to the Tuchel Avenue land before and failed, Roderick knew Caleb wouldn’t give up easily after that loss.Well, he had been expecting his comeback, even though he had warned him never to make any shady attempts to hijack

Boom!Bella's heart instantly felt empty as the little tinge of motivation she had wiped off upon hearing Christina's cold declaration returned.Christina's words were clear and firm enough for Bella to know that she wasn't playing around. She meant every word of her sentence.But would Bella accept this cold reality and give up? No, she couldn't.This was because the partnership with the Bolton Group was the only hope Santos Corporation believed could save their nearly collapsed company.The Santos Corporation couldn't even imagine what their fate would be if the partnership failed to materialize.The Santos family had agreed to sell their grandfather's house on Edgebrook Avenue to raise some money to fund their company and to give them the courage to speak with the Bolton Group for a reconsideration of the partnership.Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain if they couldn't get a second chance, as Christina had stated?If it were just about their efforts being for naught, the Santos

They quickly turned to the angry-looking Christina, and Felicia couldn't help but ask her, "Miss Smith, you said something just now. Is that really true?"Christina instantly felt a pinch in her stomach as she questioned herself inwardly. 'Did I say that aloud?'Her eyes quickly darkened as she struggled to recall what had happened in the previous few minutes.She was furious that she had absentmindedly revealed a secret aloud.Then, she quickly acted as if she hadn’t said anything. It was as if Felicia and her secretary were the ones imagining things."What? What is it?" she asked angrily, hissing before turning swiftly and entering her car.Given how Felicia and her secretary were staring at her, she was sure they had heard her clearly.At this point, she thought she was supposed to plead with them not to let such a secret become public.As much as she wanted to separate Roderick from her boss, she was afraid that if this particular matter went public, Kate would know it was leaked

Andre Santos, Felicia's younger brother, announced loudly in the large sitting room, "That's right, Mom! I'm in support of whatever other plan you have to deal with him! We really need to put Roderick in his place!"Since the last time Roderick had greatly embarrassed Andre in front of his family members, he had always wished for his chance to make a comeback. But he wanted to use a different matter to vent his anger so it wouldn't seem as if he hadn't recovered from the grand embarrassment Roderick had caused him the last time.Given the matter at hand, he felt this would be the right time to give Roderick his comeback."That's my son! Roderick really needs to learn a great lesson for disrespecting the Santos family!" Clara wailed, which gave Andre more encouragement. He was happy that his secret intention would eventually be put into action.Felicia didn't say a word as she watched her brother and her mother taking the matter too far.In the end, she finally spoke up. "Mom, do you r
