Margaret's heart instantly sank into a great panic. She was completely lost about what was going on.Given Roderick's last statement, she knew there was nothing more she could say to change his mind. Apparently, she wouldn't be escaping punishment for a crime she knew she never committed.Margaret wanted an explanation for this confusion. Then, she turned to her executive, Anabella, to ask if she had any idea what was going on."Talk to me, Anabella. Is there something going on that I'm unaware of?"Anabella only kept her face turned to the ground in shame at that moment. She didn't know where to begin her explanation to Margaret.This made the CEO even more furious. Even though she had no idea if Anabella really had something to say, Margaret was angry at Anabella's silence.Why was she remaining quiet?Given Anabella's body language after Margaret asked her the question, she began to doubt if Anabella's hands were clean.This prompted her to yell at the woman. "Are you deaf, Anabell

What?!Anabella was seriously stunned upon hearing that from Roderick. She had thought he was standing up for her.Who could have thought that he intended to make matters worse for her?Getting demoted from being an executive staff member to a cleaner was the greatest humiliation Anabella could have imagined happening to her in her lifetime.She wished she could just plead with Roderick to fire her. That would be more honorable to her than becoming a cleaner in the company where she had worked as an executive staff member for some years.Anabella couldn't imagine how she would be able to handle such shame.She was known as one of the most pompous and prideful executive staff members of Starling Entertainment Company. How would she be able to keep her dignity as a cleaner in the same company now?She was still in shock, trying to find the right words to plead with Roderick.However, at that moment, Roderick stated more clearly, "You don't have to bother yourself by pleading with me. No

After they all witnessed the horrific scene of Cory and his friends mercilessly losing their arms and teeth, they were all freed and exited the building as fast as they could.None of them wanted to stay a minute longer.Margaret was still feeling so cold from the horrendous scene she had just witnessed. She couldn't believe Roderick could be that merciless.This was the time she came to understand that Roderick was only merciful to her by not ordering any brutal attack.Of course, she knew Roderick wasn't supposed to spare her at all. She was the daughter of the man who had plotted several times to bring him down. But with his capability, he had survived all the attacks.Margaret knew that she had also contributed greatly to Roderick's kidnapping. For that reason, if he really wanted to destroy her, he wouldn't have held back.It was at this moment that Margaret began to appreciate his mercy toward her.She thought that for Roderick to handle Gary and his friends so mercilessly meant

Caleb was in the midst of silence, panicking about his daughter's health issue when she suddenly threw a question at him."Dad, for you to be investigating this matter, does it mean you have any plan to attack Roderick Holmes again?"Caleb was dumbfounded to hear such a question from his daughter.Of course, yes? Didn’t she expect him to avenge all the suffering Roderick had made her go through?"Put your mind to rest, Margaret. I will surely make Roderick regret kidnapping you in the first place."Caleb said this to put his daughter's mind at ease. He felt she must be afraid of going through another rollercoaster of problems if he attacked Roderick again.However, Margaret made things clear to her father. "I advise you to back off from any plan you may have against him. This is because he's not someone you can go head-to-head with."It was as if Caleb were hearing things. He couldn't believe his own daughter was telling him to back off from attacking Roderick.Besides, his intention

"I learned that the people trying to kidnap you the other day haven't given up yet, and they would be around Glacia City, watching out for you in the meantime. I advise you to take your security more into consideration this time."Roderick was actually talking about Don Julio. After Shadow had informed him about his availability in the city at this time, he hadn't had the chance to discuss things with Kate.That was why he quickly made it known to her now.However, Kate's face lit up in surprise. She couldn't believe that Roderick was still really watching out for her.She quickly realized that, for Roderick to be very conscious about her safety, it really meant he must have some feelings for her in his mind.Of course, you wouldn't want anything tragic to happen to someone you have a tingling feeling for in your heart.Even though Roderick was just issuing this warning based on the information that reached him, without any other thoughts attached to it, Kate still found hope that Rod
