Chapter 68
After the tense dinner ended, Thom carried Shenina to her room. The little girl had yawned several times, her eyes half closed, her arms lazily wrapped around Thom’s neck. He laid her down carefully, adjusted the blanket, then sat for a moment on the edge of the bed, looking at his daughter’s sleeping face. In moments like this, the cold and harsh expression that usually clung to him disappeared completely.Two hours passed.The night grew deeper. The house slowly sank into silence. Thom sat alone on the terrace, leaning back in a wooden chair, staring at the dark, starless night sky.Soft footsteps approached.Jasmine came out and stood not far from him. She hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I did not see you eat dinner,” she said gently. “Do you want me to prepare something for you now?”Thom glanced at her, then smiled faintly and shook his head. “No need. I already ate outside before coming home.”Jasmine nodded, but she did not leave right away. Something still weighed on

Rachel fell silent at once. She did not respond to anyone anymore, then returned to her seat with graceful composure as if nothing had happened, continuing her dinner with slow, elegant movements.However, a few seconds later, she lifted her face and said to Thom, “Let me be the one to keep this watch. I understand you, Thom. You really do not like wearing expensive items like that.”She looked at Thom as if she truly believed she had perfectly read his personality.Thom glanced at her briefly, then shrugged casually. “I know you,” he said lightly. “You do like things like that. Go ahead and take it. Consider it a gift for you.”Those words slightly surprised Rachel, but the irritation that had surfaced was instantly replaced by joy she could barely hide. Her heart beat faster as her fingers touched the black box again. The Rolex was not just a gift, but a symbol of something she had only ever dreamed of. Even in the past, when she subtly or openly asked Frank for it, he always avoide

Thom returned home exactly at seven in the evening. The sky outside was already dark, the garden lights glowed softly, and the house looked warm from a distance, a sharp contrast to the cold headquarters he had just left behind.In his hands were several shopping bags filled with the latest toys, interactive dolls and brightly colored building blocks that he bought especially for Shenina. Every step toward the front door felt lighter, as if all the blood and death he left behind had never truly touched this world.The moment the door opened, the smell of food greeted him. In the dining room, Rachel sat at the side of the table, feeding Shenina, who giggled softly with sauce smeared on her cheeks.Mr. Edmund sat upright at the end of the table, reading the news on his tablet, while Jasmine busied herself arranging the plates. Madam Yosie, with her usual sharp demeanor, was cutting meat with movements that were graceful yet full of judgment.“Daddy!” Shenina shouted the moment she saw T
Chapter 65: REVENGE 1: Completed
Thom looked at Benny with an expression that was hard to read. His face was calm—too calm for someone who had just been riddled with bullets. His lips moved slowly, his voice low yet firm, as though every word had been chosen with care. “If you are trying to kill me, it will never succeed,” Thom said. “Because I have long been acquainted with death. I can even restrain it myself, holding it back from ending my life.” The words made Benny’s breath hitch. His body trembled beyond his control, cold sweat trickling down his temples. “Y-you’re going to kill me…?” Benny asked in a shaking voice, almost a whisper. His feet retreated step by step until his back struck the iron table behind him. He was certain this was the moment Thom would repay everything—the betrayal, the bullets, the hatred aimed at him. But instead, Thom stepped closer, slowly, without haste. Each step made Benny’s heart pound harder, as if it were about to leap out of his chest. The distance between them closed. “I

“What are you going to do, Benny?” Romi asked, his voice trembling.Benny let out a long breath. His hands were still shaking, the pistol cold and heavy in his grip. “I heard everything. Every word you two said from beginning to end. Not a single thing was missed.”Thom looked at both of them with a flat expression, then spoke casually. “So which part made you this miserable?”Benny snapped his head slightly toward him, his eyes red, his jaw clenched. “Shut up, Thom!” he shouted. “I have no business with you. I only hate Romi!"Benny’s gaze returned to Romi, filled with hatred and long-buried pain. “Why did you have to be my father? I never wanted you to be my biological father.”Romi fell silent for a moment, then slowly stepped closer before remembering that the gun was still pointed at him. “Benny,” he said in a low voice, trying to coax him, “have you forgotten that I’ve been the one protecting you all this time? When your scandal nearly destroyed your name, I was the one who clea
Chapter 63
Thom looked at Madam Lena once more. His gaze was no longer merely cold—it was firm and absolute, like a verdict that could not be challenged.“Stepmother,” he said slowly, his voice calm yet crushing, “I’ve already told you. Leave. Now.”Madam Lena trembled violently. Her legs no longer felt like her own. She turned toward Romi, who stood frozen in terror before Thom. Romi’s eyes were wide, filled with panic he could no longer conceal.“No, Lena… don’t,” Romi struggled and cried out, his voice breaking. “Help me. Don’t leave me alone with him. You know I can’t die here. You can’t let this happen!”Romi’s sobs were pitiful, but they no longer moved anyone’s heart.Madam Lena broke down, her chest tight, her mind spiraling with guilt, fear, and exhaustion after years of living in lies. She looked at Thom again, searching for a crack, for mercy.But all she found was resolve.At last, with trembling steps and ragged breaths, Madam Lena obeyed Thom’s command. She turned and walked out of
