Emily, who had been quiet all this time, could not keep silent anymore. She immediately stood up from her seat and looked at Samuel Briggs.“Sir Samuel, please,” Emily said pleadingly. “I beg you. I pleaded with Mr. Johnson to work in this company for a very important reason.”Everyone in the office turned their attention toward her. Mr. Donald and Mr. Grey were especially interested in what she was about to say.For some time, both of them had been wondering why Emily had appointed someone like Johnson to such a position without first getting the approval of the board.They had also been confused by the way Samuel Briggs was supporting Johnson.Samuel remained silent and allowed Emily to speak.Emily took a deep breath before continuing.“I did not ask Mr. Johnson to work here because I wanted to disrespect the structure of the company. I asked him because he is the reason I found the courage to apply for the McArthur Estate project.”Mr. Donald's eyes widened slightly.Mr. Grey also

Bethany's eyes widened again. She looked at George in silence, still trying to understand how everything had changed so quickly. George noticed the expression on her face. He turned toward her and spoke in a calmer voice.“I do not want anyone to come between you and me again.”Bethany slowly nodded.“Okay.”Although she agreed with him, the shock was still visible on her face. She could not believe that George had gone as far as ordering El Mayo to kill Johnson.George looked at her carefully. “I know that you also once arranged for people to attack Johnson after he attacked me.”Bethany's eyes widened.“What?”George nodded. “I know about it.”“How did you know?” Bethany asked in surprise.George smiled coldly. “I know more than you think.”Bethany became quiet. She had never expected George to know about that incident. She had thought she had kept it hidden from him.George continued, “I also know that you hate Johnson just as much as I do.”Bethany looked down.“I do not know if I

When El Mayo heard that his target, Johnson, was driving along the road toward Highland Hills, his eyes immediately lit up with expectation.He quickly picked up his phone again.“Call the plate number for me,” he ordered.The person on the other end of the call remained silent for a moment.Then he called out the plate number in a cold and unusual voice.El Mayo frowned. Something about the voice sounded different this time.“Why does your voice sound different?” El Mayo asked respectfully.There was no response.El Mayo waited for a few seconds.“Hello?”Still, the person remained quiet.El Mayo became curious.“Please, speak to me. What happened?”A few seconds passed before the voice finally came through the phone.“What do you have to do with McArthur?”The question sent a strong shock through El Mayo's body.He froze. His eyes widened, and for several seconds, he could not say a word.“McArthur?” he finally managed to ask.“Yes,” the voice replied coldly.El Mayo swallowed hard.

El Mayo was trapped in a difficult dilemma. Several thoughts were running through his mind at the same time. He walked around the room slowly, trying to decide what to do next.He knew George was waiting for an update, but he could not bring himself to continue with the mission after discovering the truth about the vehicle Johnson was travelling in.“What am I supposed to do now?” he whispered.He stopped and looked at his phone.“If I continue, I may lose my life. If I stop, George will be angry.”He rubbed his forehead.“Why did this have to happen?”Just as he was still thinking about what to do, his phone suddenly began ringing.El Mayo quickly reached for it. He looked at the screen and saw George's name.He remained silent for a moment.“Should I pick this call?”The phone continued ringing.El Mayo stared at it. Then, without thinking any further, he answered.“Young Master George, you are calling?”“Yes,” George replied immediately.George had just arrived home, and his voice

Johnson slept more soundly than he had in a long time. He did not even notice that morning had arrived.The warm sunlight was already shining through the curtains of his bedroom, but Johnson remained deeply asleep.Suddenly, his phone began ringing.RING! RING!The sound finally woke him. Johnson slowly opened his eyes. He was still confused and tired as he reached for the phone.He wondered who could be calling him these late hours of the night. He picked up the phone and looked at the screen. The moment he saw the name of the caller, his eyes widened.“It’s dad”.Johnson immediately sat up on the bed. He quickly answered the call."Father!"Before his father could say anything, Johnson began speaking."Father, I am sorry. I overslept. I know for certain that I am already late for the airport." There was silence for a moment. Then Mr. Edward suddenly started laughing.Johnson became confused. "Father, why are you laughing?" Edward continued laughing for a few seconds before finally c
