Marvin and Isaac were still seated inside their car, debating the possible reason Aisha had shown up, when Marvin’s phone suddenly began to ring.Their discussion came to an abrupt halt as they exchanged startled looks.“Your phone is ringing!” Isaac pointed out. “Could it be related to what we’re working on?”Marvin blinked. “I won’t know until I see who’s calling.”He reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and glanced at the screen. His expression shifted instantly.To his surprise, the caller was Ang Lee—the manager of the lounge he had booked.“Manager Ang is calling me?” Marvin muttered in confusion. “But why?”Isaac quickly leaned over and took a look at the screen. Seeing the name, his brows furrowed in equal surprise.“Ang is calling you? For what reason? Do you two have any unfinished business you’re not telling me about?”Marvin shook his head. “No, I don’t have any business with him. I only saved his number because most of my clients come here. I have contacts of se

Marvin immediately shook his head the moment he heard Aisha mention the police.No… no, they couldn’t call the police.If they did, everything would spiral out of control. Instead of things going the way he wanted, it would become far worse. What if the police traced the sender’s location? They could easily track it back to Isaac. And once Isaac was caught, they would inevitably come for him too. Then everything would collapse.Even his reputation could get dragged into the mess.Calling the police was definitely not an option.As these thoughts raced through his mind, Aisha quietly studied him.A faint smirk formed on her lips as she carefully examined his expression. The more she watched him, the clearer it became—Marvin was hiding something. From the way he hesitated about the phone, to how quickly he reacted at the mention of the police, everything pointed in one direction: suspicion.And Aisha had no intention of overlooking it.She needed to dig deeper.With that resolve, she sn

Hearing what Marvin just said, Tyler clenched his fists tightly.As his anger surged, Marvin stood there, a smug smile playing on his lips.At this point, there was nothing Tyler could say to convince Marvin that he wasn’t the real CEO of ABC Companies.Tyler turned his face away, his jaw tightening as frustration burned through him.Fuck!One person had already discovered his identity—and that person was Marvin. Worse still, Marvin was well-known among the Acostas. He knew everyone in the family.In fact, if Tyler wasn’t mistaken, Marvin seemed to share a particularly close relationship with Aria.If Marvin had truly figured out that Tyler was the hidden CEO of ABC Companies, then there was no doubt he would spread the truth—especially to Aria.And the moment that happened, everything Tyler had worked so hard to hide… everything he had spent months protecting and fighting for… would be exposed.Everyone would learn his real identity.And if that happened, it wouldn’t end in his favor

“Ar… Aria?” Tyler muttered.He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. The instant he was told that Aria was the one who had sent Marvin on that errand, he shook his head, strictly refusing to accept it.How could Aria be the one behind it? What would she possibly gain from such a move? And more importantly, why would she only begin this investigation now?The person he had expected to hear was Olga. After all, she was the only one capable of ordering such a thing—someone who would go as far as tracing his identity. She wanted to uncover who the unknown CEO of ABC Companies was, so she could eliminate any obstacle standing in her way. If something threatened her success, she wouldn’t hesitate to destroy it.So why was Marvin telling him that Aria was the one who had sent him to find out the identity of the unknown CEO of ABC Companies?Still unwilling to believe Marvin’s words, Tyler grabbed his hair once again and snarled angrily,“You dare lie to me? You think you can trick your way o

As Marvin stared at the video, his heart seemed to stop.He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.Right there on Tyler’s phone was a video of his family—his daughter, his wife, and his sick mother.They were all tied up in a blazing room.Flames raged not too far from them, but the heat alone was merciless—scorching, suffocating, unbearable. Sweat drenched their bodies as they struggled helplessly against their restraints.His daughter… only five years old.His mother… already dangerously ill—and allergic to heat.And his wife…Pregnant.Caught in the middle of it all.Marvin’s eyes widened in horror as the video shifted, focusing on his daughter. She was tied up high, her small body trembling as she screamed in pain.“Papa! Papa!” she cried desperately. “Please come and save me! I’m in pain… I feel like I’m going to die… please save me…”His wife appeared next, drenched in sweat, her face twisted in agony.“Marvin…” she gasped. “I think I’m about to give birth. Our child is due tomorr
