CHAPTER 121
Kevin and Cecilia returned home.They were expecting everyone to be present in the hall, but only Brielle was waiting for them.“Nobody in our family ever stepped foot in jail,” Brielle said, her eyes projecting fury at Kevin.“Mom, I told you why he was taken to prison. It was a false accusation put on him,” Cecilia tried to defend Kevin, but Brielle put her finger on her mouth.“He fought the police at their headquarters, and you’re trying to defend such a guy?” Brielle roared. “His stupidity knows no bounds!”“Yeah, he’s stupid enough to pay 37 million for Serenity,” Cecilia retorted. “He’s stupid enough to clean our toilets. He’s stupid enough to put up with insults from all of our family members. He’s stupid enough to pay off his father’s debt because he was afraid that his father might commit suicide. He’s stupid enough to run into a burning bus to save lives. He’s stupid enough to do a lot more GOOD things, Mom.”“The so-called ‘good’ is seen as nothing but weakness in our soci
CHAPTER 122
A few minutes later.“I’ll set everything the way it should be, huh…” Brielle couldn’t forget these words that had come out of Kevin’s mouth. “Not the way it’s right but the way it should be, he said. He’s definitely cooking something, but whatever it is, I won’t let him succeed.”She made a phone call to Jack.“He’s back already,” she sounded very disappointed. “I didn’t think he’d be back so soon.”“Your daughter is much more capable than I thought,” Jack smiled from the other side.“Are you laughing?” Brielle frowned.“She didn’t just bring bail to Kevin,” Jack stated. “She also met the supposed molested victim and her family. Coincidentally, the victim’s brother got beaten by a few thugs, and his motorcycle was stolen. She hired a security unit to track those thugs down. She had them beaten to pulp and brought the motorcycle back to its owner. I’m sure she also assured the victim of safety, so the victim is probably going to announce that she was lying for quick fame.”“I don’t ge

“Don’t fire Emma unless she gives you a reason, a present reason,” Kevin told Cecilia.She agreed to it and then left.Kevin lay down on the bed.“I wanted to bring about a change in the prisoners, but I couldn’t spend enough time there. I wasn’t expecting Cecilia to come there, but I’m happy that she did.”A few seconds passed.Kevin called Ethan’s mobile. “How are you doing?”“That’s the question I should be asking,” Ethan blurted. “How did you call me? Weren’t you in jail?”“Wait, the news reached you?”“Reaching me? All the news channels were talking about you,” he said. “Hey, did you really do it?”“Do what?”“Messing with a minor.”“You know me.”“I know. You’re very particular with the women you like,” Ethan said. “So many girls were after you, but you were into the silent girl who’d go to the library. You had a weird taste.”“I didn’t do it, Ethan. And she’s not a minor. She’s older than me.”“But the news made it so convincing, They were painting you as the incarnation of som

The next morning.Cecilia got ready and opened her room door.Kevin was standing outside, as if waiting for her. He looked at her from top to bottom. “You look lovely in the pink suit.”“I bought this long back but didn’t wear it. I chose this one since I’m going to Serenity as the interim CEO,” she replied.Kevin smiled. “Your appearance will brighten the company, I’m sure.”“Haha, you’re praising me too much,” she chuckled.“No, I’m not,” Kevin’s hand reached out for her.She thought he was going to grab her hand, but he actually placed his hand on her waist and gently pulled her closer.Their bodies almost touched.Cecilia could see her own chest expanding and compressing. Was she feeling nervous or excited? She didn’t know.She was certainly nervous that someone might see, but at the same time, she was thrilled because of this unexpected situation.But… Why wasn’t he pulling her closer?“Can I ask you a question?” His voice washed past her ear.“Yeah,” she couldn’t lift her head a
CHAPTER 125
An hour after Kevin received a shocking phone call that revealed the news about his father’s 101 million debt.Kevin was still in his room, still finding it hard to digest the news.He had already asked the system to give him the money, but the system refused.He asked for a loan, but the system refused again and instead reminded him to use the exclusive VVIP card of the Shower Bank. However, he heard that the interest for that bank would double the amount every month.Just the thought of 101 million dollars doubling in a month made Kevin give up on the idea of using the Shower Bank.“It’s an exclusive VVIP card, but it’s not something that I can afford to use right now.”The system had also told him that the only way to lower the interest rate was for him to deposit money into the Shower Bank. The more the deposit, the less the interest rate would become.It sounded great, but it wouldn’t benefit him right now as he was out of money right now.On top of that, he felt extremely nervou
CHAPTER 126
An hour earlier.Cecilia arrived at Serenity company.The guard was sleeping outside. She walked right past him, but then returned to him and snapped her fingers before his face.The guard quickly woke up and saluted her.“If I was a criminal, what would have happened to you?” Cecilia asked.“I… I would have lost my life.”“Is your life worth more than all the products inside?” she asked.The guard frowned and lowered his head in life.Cecilia took out her mobile and showed him a news article. “Yesterday, a group of thieves stole 100,000 dollars worth of metal products from a company five blocks away from here. And here you are… dreaming when it hasn’t even been an hour since your shift began. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t fire you.”“I-I have a family, ma’am.”“Then go and spend the rest of your life with them.”“Ma’am, please I won’t sleep again. Don’t kick me out. I really need this job. My wife would leave me and my kids if I lose this job.”Cecilia slightly frowned. “I
CHAPTER 127
It was Naomi who had sent the message to Cecilia’s mobile.Cecilia’s mind spun when she saw the video.She didn’t think for a second that Kevin was the killer.She believed and knew for sure that Jack was behind this incidentally. Nevertheless, she was in shock.She didn’t think Jack would go to such drastic lengths.“Why did he kill her? And the bodyguards? How did he find out that I was going to make her confess publicly today? Was he keeping an eye on me?”Cecilia quickly left the company without telling Emma anything.“Where did she go in such a rush?” Emma wondered, but she was relieved that Cecilia was gone.While driving, Cecilia called Kevin’s mobile using voice assistance.However, the voice said that Kevin’s mobile was not reachable.Cecilia couldn’t help but feel nervous.“Not switched off, but not reachable?” she frowned. “I don’t have a good feeling about this.”She wanted to go to the O’Brian mansion, but before that, she felt like she should go to the crime scene and ge

At a private hospital.A taxi stopped, and Jack got out of the vehicle. He was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face, so nobody recognized him.He entered the morgue.The diener opened the box and revealed the dead woman’s body.“Get out a minute,” Jack said.“W-What are you going to do with her, sir?” the diener asked hesitantly.Jack spared a cold glance, and the diener quietly left and shut the door.Jack stared at the dead woman. “You would have lived a little longer if you hadn’t changed your mind.”Whether she agreed to confess or not, Jack was going to kill her anyway.Jack removed his gloves and grabbed her throat and squeezed it. He then shut the box, then peeled off a sticker off his palm.Kevin’s fingerprints were on that sticker.He rubbed it between his palms, and it burned to ashes. He then smiled as if he was proud of what he had done.“This is going to get you thrown in prison for the rest of your life, Kevin… that is if you’re good enough to survive
CHAPTER 129
“Why didn’t he call me? Why didn’t he at least send me a message? There’s no email, either.”Cecilia grew nervous and frustrated as she arrived at her mansion.The police were outside the gate. They stopped the car and told Cecilia to get out.“What’s going on?” Cecilia asked.“Just get out. We need to check your car,” one officer said, “just to make sure your husband isn’t hiding anywhere.”Cecilia got angry. “Can’t you see the inside already? You think an adult can hide under the seats?”“Open the boot.”Cecilia opened the boot with the press of a button.It was empty.“Can I go now?” she asked them, but they didn’t let her. They kept the gate closed.They were discussing among themselves, and she could hear them saying that she could be an accomplice in the crime.“Are you planning on arresting me without any evidence?” she growled. “Before you can cuff me, you are all going to lose your jobs.” She had her phone in her hand. “Do you want to give it a try?”Her words and her confide
CHAPTER 130
The walls weren’t fully built on the fifth floor of the construction, so the wind was blowing hard.Kevin’s suit and tie waved with the wind. So did his hair, but his body stayed steady like his gaze.The twelve ex-soldiers all recognized him, and they were shocked for a moment.They recognized him right away.But they didn’t expect him to be here.How did he even find them?How did he figure out that they killed the victim girl?Moreover, what was with his confidence? Every footstep he took showed how utterly unhesitant he was, even though he was alone and facing a dozen experienced fighters.The leader of the gang, a man with a scar on his chin, stepped forward while holding a gun.“Kevin Kingsley…” he said. “That’s a damn cool name, I must admit, but you made a big mistake by coming here.”Kevin stopped, but his gaze was not even on the leader but the girl in the further back.The leader was offended by it, but he smirked and said, “Are you interested in the girl?”“He’s a bigger p
