The car Almero and Caroll were riding in sped away from the apartment, both of them leaning back in their seats and breathing softly. Every meter they traveled brought the wheels further away from the chaos.Sweat beaded on Almero and Caroll's foreheads, indicating that the lingering tension that had gripped their bodies hadn't yet dissipated. Caroll reached out to rub his pounding heart. Almero massaged the back of his neck, which felt stiff after the tense situation in the apartment hallway."Are you okay, Mr. Almero?" asked a guard who was now busy driving the car. He glanced back briefly before returning his gaze to the road."Yes, I'm fine," Almero replied, glancing at Caroll, who had remained silent and staring straight ahead.Almero noticed Caroll's face growing paler, and her hands clasped together as if trying to suppress her own fear. He opened the mini-fridge beside his feet, then took out two cans of drink and held one out to Caroll.“Drink this, it’ll keep you from feeli

Almero, the bodyguard, and Caroll noticed several cars speeding past them. These were the cars of Mr. Valton's and Mr. Gabe's confidants.The enemies still hadn't realized that the car they were chasing wasn't occupied by Almero and Caroll anymore, but by someone else dressed as they were to deceive the criminals.The traffic was tense that night. The moonlight began to fade as dark clouds enveloped it, as if the universe could sense the tension on the city streets."Should we go now, Mr. Almero?" the bodyguard asked, looking back through the rearview mirror."Wait a moment, I want to check the GPS location I placed under Mr. Gabe's car this afternoon," Almero said, focusing on the phone in his hand. Caroll had been watching Almero's movements. For some reason, his heart suddenly skipped a beat when Almero's hand accidentally brushed his arm as he shifted his position, leaning back in the car seat. Could Caroll be starting to like him? But seconds later, Caroll dismissed the thought,

Mr. Valton, Almero, and Caroll immediately turned their gazes toward the main door of the house, which had just been violently opened by a guard who was now walking toward them with a look of tension on his face, as if indicating that something unexpected had happened.Almero and Valton exchanged glances, their faces filled with anxiety, and their hearts beginning to fill with unease. They then focused their gazes on the well-built guard who had just stood before them."What's going on?" Almero asked, his face tense."The police who went with our men just reported that they've arrived at the GPS location," the guard said, pausing briefly to catch his breath. He had run from the main gate all the way to the living room, a distance that was certainly long enough for him to gasp for air.Every minute they waited for the guard to continue seemed like an eternity for Almero, Valton, and Caroll. Even now, the three men were staring at the guard with questioning eyes. The air in the living

Greysoon's family home.Renia's face immediately turned pale after her husband hung up the phone. She collapsed to the living room floor, trembling, her legs no longer able to support her weight. With burning eyes as if they had been scalded, she glanced around, taking in the opulence of the house."I can't bear to lose everything," Renia said, her voice trembling. "That damned child, I should never have let him into this family. I regret adopting him in the first place."Rather than reflecting on the problems that had occurred, Renia blamed Almero for everything that had happened. The mastermind behind this destruction was the greed and cunning that had been ingrained in her and Okan's hearts, exploiting Almero's misfortune of never receiving love from his parents since birth. Renia seemed to forget that without Almero's intervention, the Greysoon family's life wouldn't be as comfortable as it is now. Even back when she first adopted Almero, the Greysoon Group was still very small,

The sound of police car sirens clashed with the helicopters flying overhead. The crashing waves against the rocks sounded like a terrifying natural song that night. The abandoned harbor bore witness to the arrest of three men behind the embezzlement of Xander Group company funds.Social media was flooded with curses and insults for the three men, whose faces frequently appeared in newspapers. The public had long assumed these three men were role models, imbued with authority and a steadfast commitment to their duties. But who would have thought that these three men were nothing more than criminals who secretly transferred company funds into their own pockets?Gabe glanced at Yoe, who had been keeping his head lowered as if trying to hide something that no one should know. Seconds later, Gabe shifted his gaze to Almero, who was still staring at him intently—as sharp as a paramedic's knife that had just been sterilized in the operating room."Who did it? Who dared betray me?" Gabe spok
