CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOTurning to look at Caelen, Conan glared at him just the same way his son glared at him.“How can you say that this criminal is the President of Virex Holdings? He is just a common criminal and an imposter…” He couldn’t finish before Kate covered his mouth with both hands, causing him to mumble the remaining words.Conan grunted, his eyes sparking with annoyance.But before he could say any other word, his son had already broken his silence.“Let go of my father, you bitch!” He made a quick move, grabbing Kate by the hand and forcing her to let go of Conan.Kate grunted at the forceful touch, turning to face the spoilt brat who had still refused to let go of her hand.But before she could say a word, Conan had already been able to get a grip on himself and was already prepared to blast at her.“What did you do that for?!” Conan’s eyes sparked with rage, anger streaming through his veins.He turned to look at Caelen, and as usual, he scowled at him, his chest rising a

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURAgain, Conan swallowed hard, his eyes still bulging as though they were about to crawl out of their sockets.“I…” He tried to speak, but it suddenly felt like he had forgotten how to, his voice low and slippery.“I am very worried, Sir! I didn’t know it was you! I wouldn’t have done what I did! I swear!” Tears fell from his eyes, seeming like they were never going to stop.He turned to look at his son, and even though he saw him still in an unconscious state, he didn’t bother to look at him. “I am ready to make amends, Sir! Anything you want at all!” He fell to his knees, rubbing his palms together while he stared Caelen in the face.He didn’t bother about the eyes that were staring at him, his entire focus was on trying to get Caelen to hear him out.“That was very foolish of me, Sir! And I regret my actions!” He continued to plead, groveling at his feet.Caelen shifted backward in a hurry, glaring at the middle-aged man, eyes sparking with fury.He took a deep

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX“Who is she?” Lyra muttered, and even though it was not proven, she could already see the blonde beauty Queen as a threat.Caelen turned to look at her, but that was almost like a quick glance before she returned her gaze to the blonde beauty, waiting patiently for her to get closer.Lyra’s eyes couldn’t stop themselves from staring at the beauty, and no matter how hard she tried not to look at her, she couldn’t.She noticed her radiance, her majestic steps that were almost intimidating, her fearlessness, and the fact that she had a bold smile on her face.“Who the hell is she?” She muttered, turning to Caelen whose expression suggested that he had an idea of who that was.So she decided to wait and see what was going to happen, returning her gaze to the lady who was just a few meters away from her.The beauty goddess had her eyes on Caelen, and it was hard to tell if the smile was just for the sake of a pleasantry or she was trying to seduce him.If the latter was

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT“No…” Xerxes shook her head, and then she swallowed hard.“I am going to make sure that it never happens again, Lord Caelen!” She waited to be sure that Caelen was still paying attention before she continued with a low tone.“My sister was out of character and I promise that it is not going to happen again. I will make sure that she apologizes for her actions. She will prostrate before you and ask for your forgiveness. I swear with my life…”She kept her eyes on Caelen, and there was no guarantee that the tears welled up in her eyes were going to remain there and not trickle down any moment soon.She took a deep breath, waiting almost impatiently for Caelen to break his silence.“Please, Lord Caelen…” She pleaded, and finally, the tears she was trying to hide began to trickle down her face, causing her to sniffle in an attempt to get a grip on herself.She inched closer to Caelen, and gently, she reached for his arm, grabbing it with both hands.Then she looked hi

CHAPTER THIRTYCaelen stepped into the Conference hall a few seconds after Michael had gone in, his eyes went straight to look at the four men who were suited at the two corners of the long wooden table in the middle of the hall, two at both sides.They were clad in black suits and had some files lined up in front of them while they whispered some inaudible words amongst themselves.Three of the men were in their middle age while the one who was seated on the first seat by the left looked very much older than the rest, his face showed signs of retirement as the wrinkles lined up on his forehead bore witness to the fact that he was supposed to be taking an eternal break.The moment the four men dressed in black suits saw Caelen walking into the Conference Hall, they stood up slowly to show their homage while the oldest man among them seemed a bit reluctant to do what the others did.From his countenance, it was visible that he was forcing the smile on his face even though he bent his f
