Thai Wong wasn't surprised to hear his son say this. From everything Darlington had said, Thai already understood that his son had played the good boy card several times, and none of it had worked. Especially today, Darlington had spent several hours trying to handle everything the right way, trying to blame nothing on anyone and hoping things would somehow work out in his favor. But they hadn't. And that was when Thai Wong realized that his son was already preparing for something big. Something massive. Knowing the nature of his son, Thai understood exactly what happened whenever things refused to go Darlington's way. Whenever Darlington wanted something badly enough and it wasn't coming to him the way he wanted, he didn't simply sit back and wait for things to change. He went after what he wanted. But before he went after it, there were certain things he needed to do. Certain methods he had to employ. Sometimes, it involved dethroning someone from office. At other times, it i

Two days had passed since the tragic shooting of Fiona Wong! According to the time frame Inspector Nelson had given them, Ethan and Ivy were expected to arrive at the police station the following day to give their testimonies and have their statements officially recorded.For the moment, however, the duo were still in the hospital ward.They were quietly discussing a few things when the door suddenly opened.Ethan and Ivy looked up and were met with the sight of a police officer standing at the entrance.Neither of them bothered to ask why he was there. They simply pretended as though everything was perfectly fine and stared at him, waiting for him to explain himself.Finally, the officer spoke.“Ethan Loner? And Ivy…”“You already know our names. What do you want?” Ivy interrupted before he could finish.The officer briefly scanned their faces before clearing his throat.“Inspector Nelson said your testimonies are still needed. In a short while, we will be taking both of you to the

Officer Nelson wanted to ignore the question.Ethan's disrespectful tone stung him deeply, and for a moment, anger flashed through his eyes. However, Nelson quickly controlled himself and simply stared at Ethan.Right then, he remembered what Joshua Wong had told him earlier.While they were signing the necessary documents, Joshua had asked him a question.“What then are you going to tell that nosy Ethan Loner? Because I know he will be so inquisitive when it has to do with this!”Nelson's response had been simple.“I know how to treat people like him!”Joshua had shaken his head in disagreement.“Ethan is such a nosy fool. He doesn't stay in his lane, and I'm sure that no matter what lie you try to feed him, he will still go ahead and cause more trouble for us. Especially for me!”“What then do you want me to do?” Nelson had asked.“Just manage him like he's an animal!” Joshua had replied. “Leave him to me, Nelson. I will be the one to completely eliminate him from the surface of thi

Ethan presumed Ivy knew exactly what she was doing.He had known her for long enough to understand that she was fierce when she set her mind on something. She wasn't the kind of person who would back down easily, and because of that, he trusted her to handle this.He simply looked at her and said,“Be careful, Ivy. Okay?”Ivy nodded.“Sure. I will definitely be careful.”With that, Ethan turned around and left.After Ethan walked away, Ivy remained where she was, patiently waiting for Micheala to come outside.Micheala was still inside with her father. Apparently, the papers they were signing were far more complicated than expected, because it was taking them quite some time to finish.But Ivy wasn't willing to give up.She waited.She was determined to get some answers from Micheala, no matter how long it took.If Micheala was going to spend hours inside before coming out, Ivy was prepared to wait for every single one of those hours. If it took an eternity, then she would wait for an

Outside the location Cynthia had sent Ethan to, he stood patiently, his eyes scanning the area as he searched for her.But there was no sign of Cynthia anywhere.His brows furrowed slightly. This was strange.Ethan reached for his phone and checked the message Cynthia had sent him earlier—the one containing the location. He looked at it again and read the name aloud.“SunRise Eateries.”He slowly lifted his head and looked at the building in front of him.The same name was boldly displayed on the sign above the entrance.“SunRise Eateries,” he repeated.So, he wasn't at the wrong location.But if he was in the right place, then why couldn't he find Cynthia?Curiosity gnawed at him.Ethan pulled out his phone again and decided to call her. Perhaps speaking to her directly would help him figure out where exactly she was.He dialed her number, and it didn't take long before she answered.“Hello?” Ethan said.“Ethan, where are you?” Cynthia asked.Ethan ran a hand through his hair before
