CHAPTER 106
Sonia was the first person to recover.She folded her arms tightly across her chest and stared directly at me with narrowed eyes. Her expression was filled with irritation, but beneath that irritation, I could also see confusion."What exactly do you mean by that, Leonard?" Sonia demanded as she took a step forward. "What do you mean when you say that we will pay you without even realizing it? Stop speaking in riddles for once and explain yourself properly," she asked.I slowly lifted my head and looked directly into her eyes before allowing a faint smile to appear on my face."You do not need an explanation right now," I replied calmly. "You will find out soon enough."Sonia's face immediately darkened."What kind of answer is that?" Sonia asked angrily. "Every time you open your mouth, you speak as though you know something nobody else knows. If you have something to say, then say it clearly."I simply shook my head and replied."The lesson will explain itself when the time comes,
CHAPTER 105
I simply stared at the damaged suit.Then memories began flooding into my mind.I remembered my mother, I remembered the day she had given me that suit, the pride in her eyes when she handed it to me.Back then, I had almost nothing.Money had been scarce, and life had been difficult.Yet despite her struggles, she had secretly saved money for months just to buy that suit for me.The suit itself wasn't expensive.But it meant something.It was one of the very few possessions I had kept because of its sentimental value.I had owned it long before Sonia entered my life.Long before marriage.Slowly, I raised my head.My eyes settled on Greg.The atmosphere in the room immediately changed.Even Greg noticed it.The arrogance on his face weakened slightly."What?" Greg asked uneasily.I looked directly into his eyes, "My suit," I said in anger.Greg frowned,"What about it?" he asked.My voice became quieter than before, "That was my favorite suit."The room remained silent.Then I added,
CHAPTER 104
My face felt swollen from Sonia's repeated slaps, and my ribs ached every time I took a breath. The beating had been severe enough to leave most people broken and begging for mercy.Yet despite all of that, I felt strangely calm. In fact, I was probably the calmest person in the entire room, the irony of the situation almost made me laugh.Slowly, I lifted my head and looked around the room.Sonia stood directly in front of me with her arms folded across her chest and a look of cold satisfaction on her face. The sight caused a smile to appear on my face.Immediately, Sonia noticed it.Her eyebrows drew together into a deep frown."Why are you smiling?" Sonia demanded angrily. "What exactly is so amusing about this situation?"I looked directly into her eyes before answering."What amuses me," I said calmly, "is the fact that none of you seem to understand that the only reason I am here right now is because I allowed it."The room immediately became silent.Greg stared at me as thoug
CHAPTER 103
Behind Sonia stood her mother and father.Beside her stood Greg Winchester.The four of them stared at me as though they were judges preparing to sentence a criminal.Honestly, the sight was almost funny.I smiled faintly and said."Good evening, ex-wife."Her expression immediately hardened.The room instantly fell silent.For a brief moment, nobody moved.Then Sonia exploded.Her hand flew across my face.The slap echoed through the sitting room.My head snapped to the side.A burning sensation spread across my cheek.I slowly turned back to look at her."That wasn't very polite," I said calmly.Sonia shot to her feet."Beat him."The order came instantly.The men standing behind me did not hesitate.A fist slammed into my ribs.Another crashed into my shoulder.A third struck my stomach so hard that it knocked the air from my lungs.Pain exploded throughout my body.I gritted my teeth and refused to make a sound.Another punch landed on my jaw.A knee struck my side.A fist connect
CHAPTER 102
The first thing I became aware of was an utterly disgusting sensation spreading across my face. Something warm, wet, and revolting landed on my cheek before slowly sliding down toward the corner of my mouth.My eyes flew open immediately.For a few seconds, everything around me appeared blurry and distorted. A sharp ache throbbed through the back of my head, pulsing in painful waves that seemed to spread through my entire skull. The last thing I remembered was being trapped inside that black van.Struggling against three armed men while my hands were cuffed behind my back. Then something heavy had struck me from behind.After that, there had only been darkness.I blinked repeatedly and forced my vision to focus.The first face that came into view belonged to one of the men who had kidnapped me.He was standing directly above me with a smug grin on his face.The expression immediately told me everything I needed to know.He was enjoying this.I slowly wiped the saliva from my face a
CHAPTER 101
I had spent almost half of the day inside the boardroom of Hi-Tech Power.Ever since I became the new owner of the company, every single department had something important that required my attention. One executive after another had presented reports to me. Financial statements had been explained in detail. Future expansion plans had been discussed extensively. Department heads had introduced themselves and outlined their responsibilities.While my newly assigned secretary had spent hours guiding me through every corner of the company headquarters.By the time everything was finally over, I felt mentally exhausted.As I stepped out of the towering Hi-Tech Power building, I loosened my tie slightly and released a slow breath. People moved up and down the sidewalks without paying much attention to one another. I stood quietly near the roadside for a moment and looked back at the massive building behind me."That meeting lasted much longer than I expected," I muttered to myself while
