After Rob returned, Cecilia told him to book a room for Ryan to stay at a hotel.He asked why Ryan needed to stay at the hotel when he could stay at the villa.Cecilia had to give him a brief explanation so that he’d not ask anymore questions and would also take better care of Ryan.“Stay with Uncle until Kevin returns,” Cecilia said.Rob didn’t say no.Rob and Ryan left in a taxi.Cecilia took a deep breath and then entered the hall.She went and sat next to her mother-in-law and watched the television.Neither of them said a word.After seven minutes, Sandra finally opened her mouth. “You might not get it now, but you’ll thank me later for sending Ryan out.”Cecilia slowly turned her head. “If you made that decision rationally, then it’s one thing. But if you did it because you couldn’t forgive him, then… there’s nothing much I can say.”“Ryan is not the same as when I married him,” she said. “He’s become a thornbush. It’s become his nature to prick those around him.”Cecilia remain

Jordan’s friends were extremely furious at Cecilia for talking rudely with him.“You are showing off because Jordan came here to form a partnership,” one of them blurted. “But you’re going to regret treating him like this. If he wants he can easily sway all those investors you’re so fixed on.”Cecilia frowned for a second, then said, “If those investors listen to someone like Jordan, then it means they’re not worth partnering with.”“What? You’ve gone crazy. You think you can do business in this city after insulting so many of us?”“My company’s profits are not decided by you guys,” Cecilia retorted. “They’re decided by the customers. If they like our products, they will keep the company going. So, it’s only the customers that I trust, not you fools who change your tune with the wind.”Even Emma felt like Cecilia was going a bit far with the choice of her words. Then again, she could understand why Cecilia was on the edge. She lost her grandmother recently and has been going through a

At Jack’s penthouse.Jack was talking with a couple of congressmen. “This won’t repeat, so please help me this time.”“We’re already doing our best to pull you out of the soup,” one of them said. “But you should cut off the source of these problems, if you know what I mean. These days, it’s been one shock after another. Starting with the toothpaste company, then the biotech company, and now even the children’s cream biscuits are brought into limelight for all the wrong reasons.”“It’s not like I’m the only one doing it,” Jack said. “I’m just following the industry standards.”“But the public cares only about the things they can see. You will become the scapegoat for your competitors if you don’t remove the one who’s been troubling you lately. Whether it is Kevin Kingsley or someone else, just get rid of him fast.”Jack was a bit surprised. “How did you know it was Kevin? I never told you guys.”The congressmen looked at each other and smiled. “We have our eyes and ears everywhere.”Ja

Kevin stepped out of the car.There were a few military officers sitting on both sides of the grand entrance into the tunnels.Right now, there were no vehicles going in or coming out.The common public was also not stopping nearby.Other than the military personnel, only Kevin was around.He walked straight toward the entrance.The officers saw Kevin and stood. They did not recognize him because they were not watching the news.“Excuse me,” Kevin said. “Can you tell me where this route leads?” He pointed at the tunnels.“Don’t you see those boards?” the officers pointed at the boards planted on the ground on either side of the road. “This place is restricted to the public.”“Huh? Wasn’t this built with the taxes paid by the public?” Kevin asked. “So how can the public not have access? Does that make any sense?”“Don’t waste our time and get lost,” one of the officers pushed him back.“Whoa, your salaries get paid by the taxes people like me pay,” Kevin said. “So why are you showing s

Dozens of bullets flew at Kevin from multiple directions.Kevin tossed the passbook and rushed forth.His first target was the guy sitting at the checkpost, with wireless transmitters on his desk.In the blink of an eye, Kevin was standing on top of the table, staring down at the officer.The officer looked up at Kevin, swallowed his breath, and said, “Y-You’re one of the Supers?!”“Do they call supernatural people as Supers?” Kevin asked.All the other guards turned toward Kevin, but they did not shoot at him, as they did not want to hurt their captain.“I don’t want to unnecessarily kill people," Kevin said. “So tell me… Is the sin city behind those metal doors?”The captain nodded.“What happens in that city?” Kevin asked. “Tell me everything you know.”“E-Everything you can imagine and more,” the captain replied, his face covered in sweat.“Do they bring kidnapped women and children here?” Kevin asked in a stern gaze.The captain hesitantly nodded.“I see.” Kevin turned around and
