The moment Ethan turned around and saw Joshua pointing a gun straight at him, he didn't panic. Instead, a faint smile crept onto his lips. He looked completely amused, as though the deadly threat before him was nothing more than a joke.Locking eyes with Joshua, Ethan slowly shook his head and let out a scoff."So, if I refuse to leave, you're really going to pull the trigger? Is that what you're trying to say?"Joshua tightened his grip on the gun, his finger resting dangerously close to the trigger. Hatred burned fiercely in his eyes."Whether you like it or not, Ethan, this bullet is going to rip straight through your skull. I've wanted to kill you for a long time, but the opportunity never came. Today, fate finally handed you over to me. Not only do I have the power to torture you... I also have the power to end your life right here."Ethan scoffed again, never once breaking eye contact."So, it really runs in the blood, doesn't it? Just like your manipulative father, who has comm

The moment Joshua spotted the police officers standing a few meters away, his mind, which had almost shut down from fear, slowly began to return to reality.His entire body trembled as he looked back at Micheala.He couldn't stop imagining what would have happened if the police hadn't arrived at that exact moment.That woman standing before him was no longer the Micheala he once knew.She had become something else entirely.Her entire body radiated pure rage, and the murderous determination burning in her eyes sent chills crawling down his spine. Joshua had no doubt that if he had taken even a single step away from where she had ordered him to stand, she would have fired without the slightest hesitation. She wouldn't have wasted a second before planting a bullet straight through his skull.In fact, she had already been on the verge of pulling the trigger.Only the sudden arrival of the police had forced her to lower the gun.Realizing that the officers had witnessed everything, Joshua

Ethan, Ivy, and Micheala were driven straight to the precinct, where they were instructed to give their official statements regarding everything that had happened. None of this surprised Ethan. He already had a good idea why he, Ivy, and Micheala had been transported in a police van while Joshua had been driven away in one of Inspector Nelson's luxurious vehicles. It was all a result of Influence. That was the only explanation. Joshua came from the powerful Wong family, and Ethan had no doubt that someone had informed Joshua's grandfather long before Inspector Nelson arrived at the scene. That single privilege was enough to expose the difference between how ordinary people were treated and how the wealthy bent the system in their favor. The thought only fueled Ethan's hatred for the Wong family. Instead of fading, it grew stronger with every passing second. As for Inspector Nelson... The man had already earned a permanent place on Ethan's blacklist. From this point onward, eve

“Thai Wong?”Inspector Nelson could barely catch his breath when he saw Thai Wong standing there.Thai was the last person he had expected to see. Never in a million years had he imagined that the patriarch of the Wong family would personally show up at the police station.Of course, Nelson knew exactly who Thai Wong was. He had even worked under him in the past, so he understood the kind of man Thai was.The moment their eyes met, a chill ran through Nelson's body. He immediately sprang to his feet. The anger that had been written all over his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a forced smile.“Mr. Wong, you're here. Please, go ahead and—”Before Nelson could finish speaking, Thai Wong raised a hand, silencing him immediately.The look on Thai Wong's face was enough to make the atmosphere turn heavy.Nelson glanced at the sergeant standing nearby. Without saying a word, he signaled him to leave. The sergeant understood the message at once and quietly walked away.The moment the

The moment he heard his father's words, Darlington was completely taken aback by everything that had happened earlier that day.As far as he could remember, he had never pulled the trigger.In fact, Fiona was the one holding the gun firmly. She was the one moving it around while pointing it directly at him. The muzzle of the gun had even been pressed against his stomach.Which meant that even if he had somehow pulled the trigger, the bullet should have hit him, not Fiona.So why was everyone accusing him of shooting her?Why was the entire blame being placed on him?Shaking his head repeatedly, Darlington looked at his father."No... no... you've all got it wrong!" he said desperately. "Your understanding of what happened is completely wrong!"But Thai Wong refused to listen.Instead, he raised his voice even louder."By shooting her, you've dragged this family's name through the mud, Darlington!" he thundered. "Do you have any idea how many international clients have been calling us
