The slap still rang in Richard’s ears as silence filled the large company hall.

Kathleen Warren stood firm, her chest rising and falling with anger, while Dianne clung to Richard’s arm, trying to keep him steady. His cheek still burned from her hand, but he didn’t move. He knew this fight wasn’t over — not yet.

Kathleen’s eyes were sharp as knives as she looked between Richard and Brian. “You think you can walk in here and embarrass my family? You think one little scene can change what we already know about you?”

Richard said nothing. He only stared back, calm and quiet. He had earlier wanted to speak up but the firm hands of Dianne pressed against his arms had him under control.

Kathleen turned to Brian with a softer tone. “Don’t mind him, Brian. He’s just desperate. Trying to make himself look good in front of everyone.”

Brian adjusted his tie and tried to recover from his earlier shock. “Mrs. Warren, you don’t have to explain anything. Some people just don’t know when to accept d

  • Chapter 70 The real truth

    Richard's face went pale. He had tons of questions, but he didn't know where to begin or what questions to even ask. He waved his hands in the air, and immediately the waitress who waited on him before rushed toward his table. “Can I get your orders, sir?” she asked with a smile. “Get me a glass of whiskey,” Richard said immediately. The girl looked at Richard; she could see that he had another look entirely on his face. She walked away without making any comments. Meanwhile, the man sat down with an air of confidence. “I know you have tons of questions to ask me, but I won't be answering all of them. Not today.” He adjusted his seat and bent a bit. “But you can ask me one question. Just one.” Richard knew the question to ask. “The system—have you been giving me the task right from the start?” The man smiled. “That is a wise question, Richard. But the answer to that is no. The system was built specifically for you alone. I don't have any interference with it, although it acti

  • Chapter 69 : The Man in the Black Jacket

    Richard’s heartbeat refused to calm. The café felt smaller now, like the walls were closing in around them. The man in the black jacket sat still, pretending to read a newspaper, but Richard knew the truth.No normal customer studies a paper without flipping a single page.Dianne swallowed hard. “Richard… Say something. You’re scaring me.” Her eyes were fixed on him.“Don’t move yet,” Richard murmured. “He’s still watching.”“Are you sure he is one of Bishop’s men?”Richard hesitated. “I don’t know. I am not sure if he is here for me… or because of me.”Dianne looked down, her fingers twisting nervously on her lap. “I shouldn’t have come here. You should’ve just texted me.”“Do you think I anticipated this?” Richard shook his head. “If something is happening, I’d rather you be where I can see you.”Her eyes glistened with emotion, but Richard didn’t have time to comfort her.He watched the man again.The stranger wasn’t blinking enough.His posture was too stiff.And he tapped his fin

  • Chapter 68; The Truth That Scares

    Dianne was not sure if what Richard said was actually making sense. She looked at him and was not sure of what to say. Richard’s words hung in the air. Dianne froze. Her lips parted a little, but no word came out. The noise from the café faded behind them. It suddenly felt like the whole place was watching them even though no one was.“Richard… what do you mean?” she finally whispered.Richard rested his back on the chair and exhaled deeply. His eyes shifted away, like he was looking at a memory far behind him.“Everything I know about myself… everything I believed… it’s all a lie,” he said quietly.Dianne blinked fast. “You’re scaring me. What do you mean?”Richard rubbed his temples slowly. His head felt heavy. He didn’t even know where to start.“I don’t remember my parents. I don’t remember my childhood. I don’t even know how I got my name. I only know what I was told. And now… I found out it’s all wrong.”Dianne reached out and held his hand, but Richard gently pulled his away

  • Chapter 66: Quiet time

    Peace? It really wasn't in Richard's dictionary the moment he tried to outsmart Thomas Bishop. The house was silent again, but Richard’s mind wasn’t. His head felt heavy, his chest tight. He sat down on the couch, elbows on his knees, and stared at the floor.Sarah’s threat rang in his ears as he tried to think.He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. “What am I doing?” he muttered to himself.The phone on the table buzzed again, flashing Dianne’s name. He stared at it but didn’t touch it. A few seconds later, it stopped. Then it rang again; this time it was Tony.He picked it up.“Boss, bad time?” Tony’s voice came through, calm but alert.“Go on, Tony,” Richard said tiredly.“I got more info about Bishop. You were right. He’s been moving weapons through the docks. I think he’s planning something big. Should I move in?”Richard rubbed his face. “Not yet. Keep your eyes on him. I need to handle something first.”“Got it. But boss…” Tony paused. “You sound off. Are you alrigh
