Justin raised an eyebrow. "Once could be an accident, twice a coincidence—but three times? Even the most oblivious person would start to get suspicious."The fear in Rocky's eyes when he glanced at Justin made it all too clear. And Laura, sharp as ever, had already picked up on something. Last time, Justin had brushed her off with a vague "I'll tell you later," and she had let it go. But now that things had calmed down, she wasn't going to let it slide. She wanted answers, about his connection to MS-13.Justin knew he couldn't keep it hidden anymore. Taking a deep breath, he met her gaze and said, "I do have a connection to MS-13. It started five years ago, back when I went to prison..."He told her about those five years behind bars, carefully leaving out one crucial detail—his role as a four-star general in the gang. That part of his story wasn't ready to see the light of day. But at least with the MS-13 connection out in the open, he knew Laura would un

"So what? I have plenty of ways to deal with him!" A thought crossed Kane's mind, and a sly smirk spread across his lips.Paul noticed the smirk and frowned, puzzled. He desperately wanted to know what Kane had planned for Justin. He hated Justin as much as anyone else—maybe even more—and would gladly rip him apart if he could. The rest of the department shared the same hatred. Their wives and girlfriends had been... used. Paul had even considered hiring someone to take Justin out the day before.Justin's actions had enraged them all.The disaster on Saturday night had cost them 500 thousand which they'd been forced to split among themselves. Worse, they'd had to offer up their wives and girlfriends. Hearing the cries of their women that night had made them want to grind their teeth into dust.Kane, noticing the fury burning in Paul's eyes, asked, "You want him dead too, huh?"Paul snapped out of his thoughts and turned to Kane, his fists clenche

Kane, hidden behind the scenes, widened his eyes in disbelief. He couldn't believe his cousin had suddenly shown up at the company.He was on edge, too nervous to go downstairs for fear of being recognized.Justin's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Audrey, radiating the aura of a cold and commanding CEO. A faint smile tugged at his lips. He was curious about why she was looking for him so early in the morning.Audrey stood before the group, her dark eyes sharp and piercing. As her gaze swept over them, each employee quickly averted their eyes, too afraid to meet her stare.Paul, on the other hand, saw the CEO's arrival as his golden opportunity to take credit. After ten years at Tripp, he had finally climbed to the position of sales manager. If he could claim Justin had stolen company secrets, it might earn him a few promotions. And if he could get Justin thrown in jail, it would be an even bigger victory.Paul hurried forward, his voice full of self-rig

"Even though I don't want to be the chairman, Mr. Nolan has already brought the transfer documents. I can't refuse again!" Justin said with a wry smile. He had already refused several times, and doing so again would come across as disrespectful.After shaking hands, he noticed blood on his palm. "Mr. Walton, your hand is injured—it's bleeding," he said, surprised.Kane only then realized, glancing at the blood on his palm. "Sorry," he said, slightly flustered. "I must have bumped it earlier.""Mr. Walton, you're so careless!"Although Kane found Justin's words irritating, he forced himself to feign congratulations.Seeing the two had met, Audrey said, "Alright, Kane, arrange an office for Mr. Miller.""Fine," Kane replied begrudgingly, hiding his reluctance.Before long, everyone returned to work, except Justin, who felt like an outsider, unsure of what to do.By noon, Kane was sitting by the window in a café, seemingly waiting fo
