031: Exchange
Mrs Maria was momentarily speechless.She stared at Dylan as if he were nothing more than some foolish, insignificant person who had wandered into the wrong place.Then she folded her arms tightly across her chest.“And who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do?” she snapped. “Do you have no shame at all? What makes you think you can just come here and talk to me like that?”Dylan remained calm, completely unfazed by her tone.“I’m not here to argue about rights,” he said simply. “I’m just stating the obvious.”He paused slightly, his gaze steady.“What you’re doing right now is wrong. And I can easily report you for it. You’re an accomplice to a crime… I hope you know that.”Mrs Maria scoffed loudly and rolled her eyes.“I don’t even know how people like you find your way here to start making empty threats,” she said, looking him up and down.“Do you even know who I am? If you did, you wouldn’t be standing here talking nonsense. And do you know who that lady is? If you
032: Trouble!
“Look!” Mrs Maria said quickly, pointing at Dylan and Lea. “They’re the ones! These two trespassed into this orphanage and won’t stop disturbing me. They’ve been causing trouble for everyone here.”She didn’t stop there.“Even when I asked them to leave, they refused! You can see it yourself—they even beat up the security men! They’ve created such a mess that I don’t even know how to handle it anymore!” she added, acting as if she were the victim.Lea stood there in shock.The way Mrs Maria twisted everything so easily… it was unbelievable.But Dylan remained calm.He had already expected something like this from someone like her.He simply smiled faintly and said, “Are you sure about what you’re saying, ma’am? You didn’t do anything at all?”“Shut up!” Mrs Maria snapped immediately. “You two are the ones causing trouble for me and the children here! You came out of nowhere and started trying to take a child away. Of course I had to call the police!”She spoke boldly, accusing them as
033: Fake
“So… are you really sure about everything you said?” Mr Yama asked again, his tone more serious this time. “Because if an investigation is carried out and it turns out to be false… you could be in serious trouble.”Mrs Maria went quiet.Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. She tried to think of something—anything—to defend herself.But before she could say a word, Dylan spoke.“What’s wrong, Mrs Maria?” he said with a faint smile. “You were speaking so confidently just a moment ago. Nothing else to say now?”She stared at him, completely speechless.Dylan didn’t wait.Since she refused to speak, he stepped forward and took control of the situation.“Since she won’t explain herself,” he said calmly, “I’ll go ahead and tell everyone what really happened.”He then turned to Mr Lee.“We spoke earlier, so I believe you’re someone who stands for truth and justice,” Dylan continued. “I’m sure you’ll look into this properly and clear things up.”Mrs Maria’s heart skipped.He knew
034: Exposed.
Dylan didn’t argue further.Instead, he calmly activated his system and focused on the video.Within seconds, he detected inconsistencies in the footage—small details that didn’t match the current time and setting.“This video isn’t from today,” Dylan said.He pointed out the differences clearly and then revealed the truth.“This footage is from a week ago. The original recording has been deleted and replaced.”Everyone went silent.Mr Lee’s expression changed immediately. “That’s… true,” he said slowly. “But why would you do something like that? If you have nothing to hide, why fake the footage?”Mrs Maria’s heart raced.Panic filled her chest as her mind struggled to find another excuse.She hadn’t expected Dylan to see through it so easily.But before she could come up with anything, Dylan spoke again.“Before you try to explain,” he said calmly, “why don’t we look at the real footage?”Mrs Maria froze.“The original video may have been deleted,” Dylan continued, “but it can still
035: Reunion
Everyone stood frozen, shocked by what they were witnessing.Lea, especially, couldn’t believe her eyes.Right in front of her… father and daughter had found each other again.Dylan held Amy tightly, his hands trembling as he ran them gently through her hair and across her face, as if trying to make sure she was truly real.Tears streamed down his face freely.He had believed she was gone… believed he would never see her again. And yet, here she was—alive, warm, and in his arms.Lea felt her chest tighten, but a soft smile spread across her face.The world really was small.Fate… was something else entirely.She had met Dylan twice already, and yet she never knew he was the father of the little girl she had been protecting all this time.It felt unreal.Still, she stood there, smiling through her emotions as she watched them.Dylan pulled Amy closer, kissing her cheeks repeatedly, holding her as if he would never let go again.After a while, he gently pulled back, still holding her, h
036: Reunion
"Thanks for everything. I'm extremely grateful for all your help. Truly, I’m grateful," Dylan said, his voice warm with sincerity."No worries at all. I’m more than happy to help. As long as the kid is safe and happy, that’s all that matters to me," Lea replied with a gentle smile.Dylan paused, then asked, "And the herb you bought that day… was it for her?"Lea nodded, smiling. "Exactly. It’s for her. She was seriously sick a while back, and I had to find that rare herb to treat her. Thankfully, it worked.""Thanks again," Dylan said, his voice heavy with appreciation. "I guess I owe you a lot for saving my daughter and taking such good care of her. Tell me—how much do I pay you? Name your price."Lea brushed the thought aside with a shake of her head and a soft laugh. "Don’t even mention it. I’m just happy that she’s finally able to find her family. I hope she’s happy about it."They shared a quiet smile and talked for a while. Lea, curious about Dylan’s past, asked him what really
037: Invited
After being humiliated that night, Oliver and Emily were still troubled by what had happened.They couldn’t believe Dylan had managed such a grand comeback. It didn’t seem possible.So Oliver decided to talk to his father, Mr. Maxwell, about it.“I think he’s back… and he’s suddenly gotten so rich,” Oliver explained. He didn’t mention what had happened at the event—it was too embarrassing.But as he spoke, Mr. Maxwell simply laughed. “What rubbish are you talking about? Are you dreaming? That cleaner who was thrown into jail? He’s back as a bigshot?” He laughed even more.“Well yes… I saw him with my own eyes. I think he’s back, and he’s suddenly a bigshot. I wanted to let you know so we can find a way to take him down…”“Nonsense!” Mr. Maxwell interrupted, mocking him. “Are you a coward or what? You’re not even making sense. That’s completely impossible. That bastard couldn’t make money even in a hundred years! He’s doomed to fail in life. And he’s already been dealt with.”He added,
038: Estate
Emily smiled proudly. “Sure.” This was all she wanted. Ever since she joined this family, things had been going so well for her. Her family had climbed higher on the ladder of power. They were being invited to big events and treated with respect! This was the power she wanted. And she aimed to go even higher in the future when the Maxwell family achieved their plans of taking down the governor family—the Walters. That way, she would probably become the future governor’s wife when Oliver became governor, and she would be extremely powerful! Emily was so proud of how well her plan was going. “Thanks for the invitation. I’ll let them know. And I’m sure they’ll be happy.” Oliver smiled and also said, “Don’t worry. I’ll work hard to make this event a flawless one that takes us to the top of the game against the Walters. It’ll be epic.” He assured her confidently. And so they continued enjoying their meal peacefully. --- Dylan and Amy had reunited as father and daughter, and they be
