After finishing his serious discussion with Mr. Valton, Almero finally left the man's office. Carrying an empty glass down the stairs, he walked into the kitchen and was startled to find Edeline there, the beautiful woman sitting enjoying chocolate ice cream. The two stared at each other for a moment before Edeline returned to her ice cream without saying a word.Almero had just taken a sip of mineral water and then washed it to avoid disturbing the housekeeper, unaware that Edeline had been secretly watching him. He had just drained the glass and was about to leave the room, but Edeline's words stopped him."Did you just come out of Father's office?" she asked, noticing his expressionless face. But her unblinking gaze betrayed a deep curiosity."Yes, Miss," Almero replied curtly, gazing at the woman's plump, natural-colored lips. As a normal man, he wanted so badly... oh, damn, he shouldn't have thought that way."You should just refuse the mission Father gave you, because it's clea

"Who dared to openly spy on Xander's residence?" Edeline asked, her face visibly upset."I don't know, Dad doesn't know yet, but we've never had any open enemies," Valton said, his fists clenched tightly, his face flushed red, trying to suppress his emotions."Why do you feel uneasy, Mom?" Senna asked, her face almost pale. "The drone arrived after you decided to reinvestigate the embezzlement of company funds," she continued, staring at Valton, her face almost pale.Almero had been silent the entire time, but he was trying to read the situation in the house. The atmosphere had become tense, and everyone was now sitting on the sofa with panicked expressions, while Valton immediately asked his trusted aide to investigate who owned the drone.After contacting his aide, Valton focused his gaze on Almero, who remained silent. He knew the man must be thinking about something, and somehow, he felt less alone with Almero around. He wasn't afraid of facing this problem, but he felt a little

The Greysoon family residence. Jeff got out of the car and walked into his house. He could feel his legs still shaking, as did his hands. His ears were still ringing from the loud explosion from his drone. Several servants who passed him greeted him, but he ignored them and headed straight up the stairs. Bang. Jeff, overcome with emotion, roughly opened his bedroom door and walked inside, his fists clenched, his face red with rage, trying to contain the anger and panic that gripped him after seeing the drone explode less than a meter away. His ears were still ringing after the hot lead destroyed the drone. Even now, his body was shaking violently. "How did that bastard know where I was? He has no connections and is just a poor vagrant abandoned by the Greysoon family," Jeff said through clenched teeth as he sat down roughly on the sofa in his bedroom. Jeff remained silent, trying to process the tense situation. He even went straight home, terrified that someone would shoot him aft

Shouts and sobs immediately enveloped the room, an atmosphere of deep sorrow. Almero pressed the emergency button beside the bed, and seconds later, medical professionals rushed into the VIP room of the hospital, running to check on Senna."Stay away, let the doctor examine your mother," Valton said, pulling Edeline's hand, who was still hugging her tightly."Dad... I've obeyed Mother's wishes, she shouldn't leave me like this," Edeline said through sobs.Valton seemed to sense a bad feeling about his wife, but he tried to remain calm, even though his eyes were now wet with clear liquid that threatened to fall when he blinked.Almero wiped the corners of his eyes, unable to contain his sadness at seeing Senna so weak and helpless. Now, Almero looked at Edeline's face, and the woman who had just officially become his wife continued to cry. Valton, Almero, and Edeline watched a doctor who had just examined Senna. The man's face looked grim

Almero stared at Jeff's car as it sped away. He wiped the blood seeping from the cut at the corner of his lip with a sharp, deliberate gaze. It would be worth it if he had new evidence. Almero brushed the dust off his clothes, ignoring the stares from other street dwellers, and then got back on his electric bike and headed to the Xander Group company. After parking his electric bike, he immediately entered the company and passed the security guard who had reprimanded him. The officer didn't speak immediately, but first noticed Almero's disheveled appearance, with dust stains clearly visible on his shirt. "Almero, why is your face all bloody and bruised?" the security guard asked curiously. "I fell on the road on my way here," Almero said, looking down at his dirty clothes. "Next time you're on that road, be careful. Try to leave earlier to avoid a similar incident. You must have been speeding on your electric bike," the security guard advised, his face looking concerned. This man
