Mason smiled, but it was sly, with a cunning look deep in his eyes. “Why should he be sad?” “Well…” Christina stuttered, glancing at the villa before going closer to Mason, “Doesn’t he like Cora? A woman he likes died, and he is taking this so lightly?”Mason sighed, and then patted her shoulders, “I think you should put your mind to rest. The boss may not look sad, because he has a lot to deal with.”“However, if you want to go back to Westbourne, I can arrange your flight schedule, or if you prefer to use the car—”“I am not leaving!” She sneered, stomping on the floor past him. As she got into the villa, Robin was nowhere to be found, and even though the table was already set, they still needed to freshen up. But as she walked up the stairs, she heard slight footsteps behind her. Quickly, she turned to see Chairman Black trailing behind her with his gaze sharp and piercing.“Hello…” She greeted him with a wry smile. “Do you need me for something?”“Yes.” The old man nodded, as

"What's wrong?" Jane immediately noticed Ethan's pale look, and her eyes dimmed.She pulled in closer, to see what was going on on his phone but then he quickly pulled away and his breathing turned labored."It's nothing." He hid the phone straight into his pocket, while smiling wryly. “Are you sure?”“Of course.” He nodded. However, Jane was not convinced as Ethan had been nothing but calm and composed the past few days, after his plan began. But now, he was looking all jittery and she knew something must have ticked him off. “If there is anything wrong, please do tell me. This is a crucial time and we can’t afford to make any mistakes.”“Yes.” He nodded, while pulling her into his embrace. “I will make sure everything goes well.”“Let’s go.” He led her toward Diego’s car and while they drove off, he got into his car, clutching the steering wheel so tight his knuckles went white. “What the hell!” He gasped, as he pulled out his phone again. The content of what he received was

The next day… Two police officers flanked Ethan’s side as he was being escorted into the police station. He was taken straight to the investigation room, however, he stopped at the entrance, while he stared back at the officers. “Are you all suspecting me?” He asked, his eyes narrowing. “We are just going through due procedures. There is no cause for alarm. You are the deceased fiancé, and you should give us the necessary information that should help us.”Ethan had no other choice but to nod in response. Even though he was deeply afraid of going into the investigation room, after all, he had found out his murder plan wasn't foolproof. A few minutes later, he sat behind a metal table on a flimsy metal chair that creaked every single second.The creaking sounds echoed in the room, as the police officers kept staring at him while tapping their fingers on the table. Their actions were rhythmical and done at the same time. The repeated sounds from the creaking chair and the officers c

Robin’s lips curled in delight as he watched the news rerun on the TV. Every single thing he had planned was falling into place and Ethan had fallen right into his trap too. He had set up the lanky man who threatened Ethan, and also gave a tip to the police that a server had information about the incident. It wouldn't be long before the recent attempted murder case would be traced back to him. At this moment, Mason stood behind Robin, his brows creased, “How were you so sure Ethan was going to move this way? Is he so stupid to try to kill another person while Cora’s case is going on?”Robin turned to Mason, his brows raised, “What did you think you think he was going to do?”“I don’t know…” Mason shrugged. “Maybe give the money to the server.”“50 million dollars?” Robin laughed, his chest heaving. “Do you think Ethan has that amount of money?”“But…but he is from the Davenson family.”“True. But Jane controls almost all the money in the family. The minute he takes out 50 million d

As they arrived at the Davenson mansion, Diego was waiting already, with his hands behind him while he held onto something as Jane dragged their son, closer to her husband.Ethan had his head down, sulking and unable to look straight into Diego’s eyes.But Diego’s next words made him perk up.“I have handled it.” He said.“What?” Ethan and Jane gasped at the same time. “What do you mean?” Her lips quivered. “I thought you didn't see my messages.”“I did. But I chose not to respond.” Diego shrugged, as his eyes settled on Ethan. His gaze was stern, ripped with fury that Ethan didn't dare to keep looking at his father.“What did you do?” Jane probed. Deep down, she couldn't help the relief that washed over her.“Nothing! I just made sure to finish up the job your stupid son couldn't do!” He sneered but then pulled in closer toward Ethan.“Do you know what you have done?” He asked. “I am sorry, Father.” Ethan bowed his head, going deeper toward his knees. “I made a mistake.”“That wasn’
