Varrly had arrived at his office. He hurried inside. Accidentally, Varrly bumped into Louis. Varrly was quite surprised and immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Louis, why are you here?" Varrly approached Louis. His gaze was still condescending because he saw Louis dressed.

Louis looks the same as before, very simple. I'm sure Evelyn just made up the story," Varrly said to himself as he stared at Louis.

"Of course, because I have business here," Louis replied casually.

"You're probably just delivering food to one of the employees here." Varrly sneered as she looked down on Louis.

"That's none of your business," Louis said firmly.

"It's been more than five years, and you haven't changed at all. It was not in vain that I left you," said Varrly with a soft laugh.

Louis tried to ignore Varrly and walked away. But Varrly immediately stopped Louis.

"Wait a minute!" Varrly prevented Louis from leaving.

"Louis. I warn you not to bother Evelyn. I'm sure you're still trying to brainwash my daughter," Varrly warned.

"What do you mean? There's no point in my taking care of her anymore," replied Louis.

"Don't play dumb!" growled Varrly.

"Whatever you say. I don't have much time," said Louis.

"Don't act like you're so busy. Your salary is low. I think you still have trouble even putting food on the table," said Varrly.

Louis laughed at Varrly's words. "You think you know everything about me? The fact that I'm still alive means I don't lack food."

"Tell me honestly, you must have lied to Evelyn. You said you were married to a rich woman. I'm sure no rich woman would want you," said Varrly.

"Don't act like me. I can easily get a rich man because I'm highly educated and smart," she continued.

"I never told Evelyn that I was married to a rich woman. But if that's what she thinks, that's up to her." Louis seemed indifferent to Evelyn's opinion of him.

"Damn it! You're trying to fool my daughter," Varrly growled.

"Varrly. As you requested, I have cut ties with Evelyn. She is not my daughter, and I have nothing to do with her anymore," said Louis.

"Don't lie to me. You deliberately told Evelyn that you had become a rich man because you remarried. But from what I see now, it seems that you are still the same as before," said Varrly.

"It doesn't matter what you think, because to me, none of that matters anymore," Louis said firmly.

"No wonder Evelyn thought you had become a rich man. You're talking so arrogantly. You think I'll come back to you and regret it? That will never happen, Louis," said Varrly.

Louis sighed. He was really tired of having to deal with Varrly.

"Who's being arrogant? Maybe it's just your mind that's too narrow," replied Louis.

"Damn it! How dare you insult me?" snapped Varrly with an annoyed expression.

Suddenly, three people approached Varrly.

"Varrly, what's wrong? Is this guy causing trouble for you?" asked one of Varrly's coworkers.

Varrly smiled slightly when she saw her three coworkers approaching.

"Monica. I don't know what I did wrong, but this lowly courier dared to insult me," said Varrly softly.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that. It turns out that Varrly's character has gotten even worse. He dared to slander me," Louis said to himself.

"So this man is a courier, but he dared to insult you? How shameless," Monica grumbled.

"That's not how it was. I wasn't the one looking for trouble, but that woman was looking for trouble with me. Even though I had already intended to leave," explained Louis.

"Don't lie! You even demanded extra money from me earlier," Varrly shouted angrily.

"I really want to rip his mouth off, but I have to control myself," Louis muttered, trying to hold back his anger.

"Damn it! Do you want to get fired from your job for picking a fight with my friend?" said Varrly's coworker.

"Go ahead if you can fire me," Louis replied casually.

"How arrogant. You dare to brag to me. Don't regret it if you get fired from your job later," the man said, slapping Louis hard on the back.

"Do as you please," Louis said with a smile.

Varrly and her three friends stared at Louis with annoyance.

"This is the first time I've seen a low-paid courier who dares to defy us," Monica grumbled.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Louis appeared to remain relaxed.

"Louis really has no shame; he's acting all brave. He must be trying to provoke me, so that I will think like Evelyn," Varrly said to herself as she glared at Louis.

"He thinks I'm a stupid woman! I'm sure no rich woman would be interested in a lowly man like him," she continued.

Louis intended to leave, but Varrly's two colleagues immediately stopped him.

"You can't leave before apologizing to Varrly," they said, grabbing Louis's arm tightly.

Louis shook off the man's hand forcefully. "Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong."

"We won't let you leave until you apologize and kneel before Varrly," said Monica.

Varrly smiled because all his colleagues were on his side. He had succeeded in humiliating Louis.

"I will never do that!" Louis replied firmly.

"You have to do it. I will definitely forgive you. If not, my friends will make things difficult for you," said Varrly with a sad expression.

Actually, it wasn't a sad expression, but rather a mocking one. He was pretending to look sad.

"You won't just lose your job. Your life could be in serious trouble if you don't apologize to Varrly immediately," said the man.

"Just so you know, she has a wonderful husband who is very influential in this country," said Monica, pushing Louis's body.

"I don't care about that. Please stop arguing with me. I don't have time to deal with all of you," said Louis.

Hearing that, Monica immediately slapped Louis' cheek very hard.

"How dare a lowly worker like you be rude to us?" Monica snapped.

"Force him to kneel before Varrly," she continued, ordering her two colleagues.

The two men immediately forced Louis to his knees.

"I can't fight them with violence," Louis said to himself as he tried to resist.

One of the men kicked Louis's leg, causing him to fall, and the two of them immediately held Louis down to keep him kneeling.

Seeing this, Varrly smiled with a look of satisfaction on his face. He had succeeded in humiliating Louis.

"Apologize quickly!" snapped one of them.

"If only Jack were here too, I would be even happier," Varrly said to himself.

"I will never apologize to that woman," said Louis, staring intently at Varrly.

Just as one of them was about to hit Louis again, a loud voice stopped them.

"Who dares to cause a disturbance in the office?" he said firmly.

The man walked closer, and Varrly and his three friends immediately bowed respectfully.

He had already sent the maids away.Louis decided to cook some of James's favorite dishes."Don't you need any help?" asked Avely awkwardly. She herself couldn't cook."No need, just keep James company. I'm afraid he might need something," said Louis."Okay," replied Avely and left.Louis ignored Avely; he didn't even look at her, remaining focused on his cooking."Does Louis not love me because I can't cook?" muttered Avely to herself as she continued to watch Louis."Varrly used to only focus on his work too. And it was Louis who took care of the house and the children. Is Louis afraid that I'm like his ex-wife?" Avely grumbled with an annoyed expression.Avely then decided to go to James' room. The only way to win Louis' heart was through his own son."James will definitely like it," said Louis as he took off the apron he was wearing.Louis then went to James' room to invite him to eat together."Daddy has finishe

    Louis was taking care of James' hospital bills during the two weeks James was hospitalized. And now he has been allowed to go home.Louis also hired the best nurses and doctors to monitor James' progress constantly."Daddy Louis! I didn't know you were here," shouted a girl. It was Evelyn, who had been hospitalized here for several days.Louis didn't answer; he just stared at Evelyn, who was wearing hospital clothes."You must have come to visit me, and actually, Daddy is still worried about me, right? I've been sick for several days because I miss you so much, Dad," said Evelyn with a sad expression."Stop talking nonsense, Evelyn. You miss me? That's impossible," replied Louis."I'm not lying, I really miss you. I miss our time together. I also want to taste Daddy Louis' cooking again," Evelyn whined as she clung to Louis' arm."Let go! Don't make me angry. You yourself said I'm not worthy of being your Daddy," Louis growled as he gently pushed Evelyn's hand away, not hard enough to

    As promised, Louis met them that night. Louis stared at the two men who were to be their leaders."Make them stand up!" Louis ordered his men firmly.Louis stared at them with a sharp gaze, remembering that James was still unconscious, which made him emotional again."Who gave you two the order to kidnap my son?" Louis asked."No one gave me the order. I myself intended to kill your son because I have a personal grudge against you," said the long-haired man angrily.The man's friend looked at him, allowing Louis to conclude that the long-haired man was lying and trying to protect their boss."I don't think I know you. Why would you have a personal grudge against me?" said Louis."You may have forgotten that you killed my son on the battlefield in the south," growled the man."You blame me for the betrayal committed by your own son? If your son hadn't betrayed me, he might still be alive," replied Louis."Why did you have to kill him? My son had asked for a chance from you," snapped th

    Louis had already contacted Avely to come to the hospital."Louis, how is James? He's okay, right?" asked Avely with a panicked expression."The doctor is still treating James. He's very weak. He was just transferred to the ICU," replied Louis with a blank stare.Avely's body felt very weak upon hearing that her son was not well."Whatever happens, James must recover, Louis. I don't want to lose James," said Avely while crying."I don't want to lose James either, but I'm sure James will be back with us. He's a strong boy," said Louis while gently rubbing Avely's back.Avely hugged Louis tightly, feeling a great weight."I swear I won't let those who hurt James live in peace," said Avely."For now, let's focus on James' recovery first, don't think about anything else," Louis said firmly."Louis, you're also injured. Why not get treated right away?" Avely saw the wounds on Louis's back and temple. She had just realized that Louis was also injured."Don't worry about my wounds, they're j

    "I don't want to lose my son, we have to get there on time!" Louis snapped with an emotional expression. Louis looked very frustrated. Even though James was not his biological son, he loved him dearly. "Commander, the area you are tracking cannot be reached. If we continue to push forward, it will be too dangerous. We should find another way," said Louis' personal assistant. "Just continue, because it's the fastest way! I'm sure we'll be fine," Louis growled. Louis was convinced that they had deliberately chosen the fastest route to the problematic location, causing him to be late in rescuing his son. "But, Commander, this is too risky. The road is very difficult, and it looks like they've set up devices to trap us," explained Louis's assistant. "If we keep pushing, we'll all die. We've already received a warning," he continued. Louis rubbed his face roughly. He couldn't be selfish and endanger the lives of his men. "I have to stay calm and not act rashly. That's what they wan

    Louis had arrived in the village, his face visibly emotional. Almost the entire area had been destroyed by enemy bombing."Commander, there have been many casualties from this bombing," said one of Louis' subordinates."Make sure all the residents have been found. If anyone is injured, take them to the hospital immediately," Louis ordered firmly."Yes, commander," he replied firmly, then left Louis.Louis ordered his men to spread out to search for the residents who had not yet been found."I will make sure to retaliate for this attack, but before that, I have to make sure it was the same people who did this," Louis muttered to himself.Louis also used his own money to help the residents with food, shelter, and clothing."You all don't need to worry, this problem will definitely end soon. I will take care of everything, and you will all stay at the evacuation center that I have prepared for the time being," explained Louis."Thank you, Commander. I hope you and your colleagues resolve
