Three days earlier, before Ken went on vacation, Audrey had already told him that she also wouldn't be returning to the rental house for several days because she had some other business to take care of outside.So even though the house was still empty now, Ken had no reason to immediately assume that something had happened.Besides, Audrey wasn't the type of person who would explain every detail of her affairs. Ken simply assumed that the woman was busy.So after returning from his vacation, Ken slowly went back to his usual routine.His mornings were filled with several deliveries. The afternoons were sometimes busier, while the evenings and nights were spent finishing the remaining orders before finally heading home.Nothing out of the ordinary happened.At least, not compared to what he had experienced a few days earlier.One afternoon, Ken stopped in front of an apartment building to deliver two drinks. He carried the order bag into the lobby, then checked the unit number before t

The report did not portray Bright Horizon as a company that had committed crimes as a whole. Instead, it explained that the investigation was still ongoing and that not all of the allegations had been proven.However, the more information that emerged, the clearer it became that the problems facing the company were not simply ordinary administrative errors.“In addition, the newly appointed CEO of Bright Horizon, Miles Anderson, has been questioned by authorities,” the news anchor continued. “According to the information we have received, Miles is currently still being questioned as part of the investigation and has not been declared a perpetrator.”Ken frowned when Miles's face appeared on the screen.The man who had been chasing him through the emergency staircase just a few days ago was now seen sitting inside a vehicle with several people surrounding him.The report then shifted to discuss the company's condition, the possibility of management changes, and the impact of the invest

Miles's body staggered to the side. His hand immediately grabbed his shoulder, his face tightening as he endured the pain.“Fool! You’re an absolute fool!”His father's voice echoed through the room again.Miles lowered his head once more. His breathing grew heavier, but this time, he did not dare talk back.“You embarrassed this family, made us lose face in front of so many people, and you still stand here telling me you did it for the family?”The man walked out from behind the desk.“If you really cared about this family, you should have known when to stop!”Miles opened his mouth, but no words came out.A few seconds later, his father finally spoke again, this time in a colder tone.“You’re leaving the country tomorrow.”Miles immediately raised his head.“What? Father, I can’t—”“You heard me. You’ll go abroad and stay there for three or four years until this mess dies down.”Miles stared at his father in disbelief.“But I can still fix everything. Just give me some time. I can—”

Miles narrowed his eyes. His angry gaze was now filled with undisguised disgust.Then, with a single snort, he asked, “What?”Meanwhile, Lizzy tried to maintain her composure, even though she felt slightly afraid of Miles standing in front of her.“Consider it… consider it compensation. I'll leave after you give me enough money. And I can also make sure certain things about you remain a secret.”Hearing that, Miles actually laughed.At first, it was only a short laugh, but it gradually grew louder and more sarcastic. Even his gaze toward Lizzy looked as though he were staring at a great joke.“So you've finally shown your true colors, and now you're threatening me with my secrets?”Lizzy did not answer.Miles eventually stopped laughing and looked at her with eyes that had become much colder.“In my current situation, do you really think I'm still afraid? Do you think I care whether my secrets stay hidden or get exposed?”Miles spread both hands.“In fact, if you expose them right now

Ken closed his eyes and pulled the blanket up to his chest and ready to sleep. However, only a few minutes after he tried to fall asleep, a faint sound from outside the house slowly caught his attention.Ken opened his eyes.There were footsteps, followed by the sound of something being moved in front of the house, then a conversation that sounded so quiet that he could barely make out the words. Ken stared at the ceiling for several seconds, trying to ignore it.“Could it be trouble again...?”Considering everything that had happened before, he knew sounds like that were not something he should simply ignore. But the dangerous job Adrian had given him was already over, and after all the chaos at the Meridian Business Center, there should be no reason for Adrian's men to come again this late at night.Ken let out a long sigh.“I really don't feel like going outside.”Ken activated Enhanced Perception. In an instant, his vision changed. It was not like looking through clear glass, nor
