Valton clenched his jaw tightly after hearing Kael speak harshly to his daughter. Meanwhile, Edeline remained silent, her face pale, a sense of fear creeping into her heart, making her feel even more uncomfortable among her father's extended family.Almero glared at Kael, his eyes filled with intense hatred. He clenched his fists as if trying to extract the man's very essence. Seconds later, he spoke up, warning that if he didn't teach them a lesson, they would be even more daring in insulting his wife in the future."Say one more word, and I will take your life, Mr. Kael." Almero spoke, his voice strained, as if conveying a clear threat.Almero's words ignited Kael's emotions, causing him to immediately stand up and glare at the lowly man before him.Meanwhile, the other family members glared at Almero, clearly disturbed by what he had just said. Almero wasn't a member of the Xander family, so he clearly had no right to interfere in Edeline's dispute with Kael."I know you've helped

The luxury car sped away from the Xander family residence at a moderate speed. Almero concentrated on the road ahead, while Caroll sat in the passenger seat, occasionally stealing glances at the man. For some reason, the car was so quiet that the loud hum of the air conditioner reached Caroll's ears.Almero had been focused on the road, but he had a feeling Caroll was about to speak to him. Seconds later, the woman's soft voice rang out, shattering the silence that had enveloped the cabin."Mr. Almero," Caroll said, clutching the hem of her shirt. She glanced at him, her heart already pounding."Yes?" Almero replied, giving the woman a quick glance before returning her gaze to the road."Will you still come visit me after I move into that apartment?" Caroll asked, her voice sounding nervous."If there's something related to your case, of course I will," Almero replied bluntly. "What if it has nothing to do with my case?" Caroll asked, his eyes radiating with great hope.Almero remain

Okan and Jeff immediately paled as they watched Almero walk away from the cell. Okan watched the prisoners' faces turn vicious, their fists clenched tightly, as if preparing to strike again mercilessly after Almero left."Almero, you can't do this to us. Please help us get out of these iron bars," Jeff spoke, his voice trembling on the tip of his tongue."Almero, don't be a disobedient child by leaving Father locked up in this cursed place. You must remember your past memories of playing on Father's lap back then," Okan shouted, his voice clearly filled with frustration.But Almero continued walking away without looking back. Now their hopes of ever breathing fresh air again were dashed. Okan had even tried to contact some of his colleagues, but they all turned a blind eye and refused to get involved in his case. Now he had to face this alone."What's going on, Father?" Jeff said, his knees starting to shake, and seconds later he collapsed, leaning his back against the iron bars."I

Almero entered his room and looked around, which was filled with darkness. Edeline seemed to be asleep, so she turned off the lights. He walked to the closet and took out his black pajamas. He then headed to the bathroom to change.Almero had already changed into his pajamas and was still standing near his wife's bed, his heart filled with a dilemma. Edeline was angry with him, so he decided to sleep on the floor tonight. He didn't want to upset her further by sleeping so close together. But before he could put the pillow down, the silence in the room was suddenly shattered by his wife's voice."Do you want to sleep on the floor forever?" Edeline asked, her voice cold yet full of concern.Almero was surprised and didn't expect his wife to still be awake. He immediately looked at her and said, "Isn't Miss angry with me? I'm afraid she won't want to sleep in the same bed with me tonight." "Stop talking so much, you should get on the bed. From now on, no matter what happens, never sleep

That afternoon, the atmosphere in front of the courthouse was much more crowded than usual. Dozens of journalists had filled the courtyard since the sun was still high. Television cameras were set up at various angles, while reporters busily sought the best positions to capture images and statements from the parties involved in the trial. Today was a day many had been waiting for, all awaiting the verdicts to be handed down to the suspects.The trial of Gabe, Okan, Jeff, and Yoe had finally begun. However, they were not the only case implicated. The embezzlement of company funds was one of the main issues that had tarnished their reputations. The good reputations they had cultivated for decades were now irreparably damaged, and they were surely unable to lift their heads, as the shame clearly gnawed at their hearts like a bloodsucking leech.Gabe was suspected of playing a key role in the embezzlement and misuse of company funds. His actions caused significant losses and dragged sever
