The guards simultaneously struck him, rendering him helpless. He could only crouch in front of the gate, covering his face with both hands. Seeing him helpless, the guards took his wallet and cell phone.
"Go far away, and never come back," the guard said before closing the gate.
Almero endured the pain and stood up, staring angrily at the Greysoon family home. "I swear I won't be at peace until I get even with you."
Almero staggered away from the luxurious house. He was penniless, feeling incredibly frustrated. In the midst of his devastation, he remembered a close friend whose house was only about an hour's walk away. He thought he could ask for help.
Almero breathed a sigh of relief as he stood in front of his best friend's gate. Coincidentally, the gate opened automatically, and a few seconds later, he saw Oscar's car slowly passing by. Just before the car could take over the road, Almero knocked on his friend's window.
Seconds later, the car window rolled down. Oscar stared at Almero's bruised and blue face and observed his friend's pitiful appearance.
"Why are you here, Almero?" Oskar asked, raising an eyebrow in inquiry.
"Oskar, without me needing to say it, you already know my situation. Can you help me?" Almero asked pleadingly.
"Of course I will," Oskar replied casually.
"Thank you, Oskar. I know you're a good friend," Almero replied with a sigh of relief.
However, Almero's relief faded a second later when he saw Oskar open his wallet and take out some money.
"Take this money and leave my house immediately," Oskar said, throwing the money out the car window. "After this, don't ever come asking for my help again."
The initial relief that had filled his heart melted away with Oscar's words. He couldn't believe that his close friend would abandon him at such a time of despair. Even from elementary school through college, the two of them were always together.
"We're good friends, and I often help you, but why are you treating me like this, Oscar?" Almero asked, still staring at the man he considered his best friend.
Oskar took out all the money in his wallet and threw it roughly at Almero's face. He was increasingly disgusted and disgusted to see the adopted son of the Greysoon family, with no status, making Almero nothing but invisible dust to him.
"I hope all this money is enough to repay the kindness you've shown me! All this time, I've been kind to you only because I needed your help, and nothing more!" With that, Oscar immediately stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped off, dominating the road.
"I thought you were different from them," Almero said, his jaw clenched.
Almero bent down to pick up the bills Oscar threw at him with a broken heart, but he vowed to return the money to him many times over.
Almero stepped back onto the street and saw a taxi passing by. He immediately waved, and the vehicle sped off toward his girlfriend's apartment. After a short journey, he finally arrived in front of Abigail's apartment.
Without hesitation, Almero entered the password for the apartment, and the door opened. He immediately entered. He believed that Abigail would accept his situation, and with the help of the Mooer family, he could recover and exact revenge. However, his dreams seemed to be shattered when he heard a familiar voice coming from the master bedroom—Abigail's room.
"Am I better than that piece of trash?"
Almero immediately stiffened when he realized it was Jeff's voice, but why was that bastard here? Was he trying to hurt his girlfriend? Almero walked slowly toward Abigail's room, his face holding back his emotions.
"Of course you're the best, and what's even more unfortunate is that I only found out now. If you had told me she was just an adopted child, I would have left her on the spot and come to you, Jeff."
Almero's body immediately froze upon hearing what his girlfriend said. His eyes felt hot as if embers were dripping from his corneas as he watched her making out with that bastard on the bed. He could see everything so clearly because the bedroom door was wide open.
"Damn! Bastard! How dare you do this behind my back," Almero said, unable to contain his anger. He immediately pushed open the bedroom door and stormed in.
Almero's voice interrupted the heated argument between Jeff and Abigail. They hadn't expected Almero to make it here, but seconds later, Jeff retracted his smug grin.
"Almero, what are you doing here?" Abigail screamed in surprise and quickly grabbed her pajamas, hiding her naked body.
"Abigail is mine! We're getting married soon," Jeff said proudly, grabbing her waist.
"Get out of here! I don't want a relationship with an adopted child," Abigail said with a contemptuous look. She hadn't expected Jeff to make her his wife, so now she would end her relationship with Almero.
Almero was silent for a moment, Abigail's words reminding him of the humiliation the Greysoon family had inflicted on him. Even her best friend didn't hesitate to break up with her. She couldn't believe she'd been surrounded by such two-faced people.
"All this time, I've loved you, followed your every whim, even helped your family's company escape bankruptcy, and this is how you repay me?" Almero asked with a furious glare.
"That's over, and you don't need to bring it up again," Abigail said coldly. "A worthless man like you doesn't deserve a relationship with me! Get out of our sight, and our relationship is over. Jeff and I are getting married soon. You should know your place, and understand your status and wealth! Now you're nothing more than disgusting trash."
Jeff kissed Abigail's cheek, then laughed with satisfaction. He hadn't imagined he'd steal the lover Almero had so carefully guarded. Jeff had been waiting for this day for years.
"I'll make you pay," Almero threatened, gritting his teeth.
"Hahaha! Do you think I'll be afraid of your threats? Get out of my sight, you tramp," Jeff replied with a squeak.
“What are you waiting for? Leave now! I can't stand the sight of your bruised face,” Abigail said without the slightest mercy.
Almero's body trembled violently after hearing Abigail's insult. He stomped away, his anger burning in his chest.
“Look at that piece of trash, he's so pathetic,” Jeff said, speaking loudly so Almero could hear.
“I even regret ever having a relationship with a child of no status like him,” Abigail retorted, glaring at Almero's back, who was already in the doorway.
Almero bit his lower lip until it bled, trying to suppress the pain in his heart.

A Mysterious Headquarters
The two armed men had been neutralized, yet the tension along the coastline had not entirely dissipated. The sound of crashing waves echoed like the suspenseful score of a horror film. Meanwhile, Almero continued to study Dimas with a searching gaze."Don't you trust me, Almero?" Dimas asked, his face still deathly pale."I do trust you. Now, go home; I’ll assign some guards to stand watch outside your residence," Almero replied, his expression carrying a deeper, unspoken meaning."But what if they try to harm me? What should I do, Almero?" Dimas asked, his face etched with fear."The guards I’m assigning to you aren't just ordinary men! They are highly trained—you’ll be safe with them," Almero said, placing his hands firmly on Dimas’s shoulders, attempting to reassure his close friend."I believe you. I’ll go home with them—but please, take care of yourself, Almero," Dimas said, his eyes revealing his deep concern.Almero watched as Dimas climbed into a car, while one of the guards t
Almero's Suspicions of Dimas
“Almero, I'm really scared. Why do they keep staring at me?” Dimas said, his hands trembling.“That's why I didn't want to tell you anything important, I was afraid they would target you,” Almero said. He suspected the gunmen were targeting Dimas because he was so close to him.“I don't want to die here,” Dimas said, his voice trembling in the air.“I won't let them hurt you,” Almero said in a low, but firm voice. “Just trust me,” Almero said, still trying to calm his good friend.Dimas swallowed hard. His hands clenched into fists under the table, while his gaze never left the four men who were now drawing closer. Dimas never imagined he would experience something like something out of an action movie. But this time, the scene was so tense that it made Dimas' face pale like a living corpse. "Almero, they're carrying weapons. We have to get out of here now before it's too late," Dimas said, his breath catching in his throat."I can't." Almero glanced around, clearly seeing no way out
Why They're Targeting Dimas
Almero had just emerged from the main lobby and saw Dimas waiting for him in front of the company. The man waved and smiled cheerfully at him.“Have you been waiting too long?” Almero asked, standing in front of Dimas.“Of course not, sir,” Dimas replied formally when they were inside the company.“How about we go on your bike?” Almero asked, noticing Dimas's shocked expression.“What?” Dimas asked, his eyes wide with surprise.“Do you mind giving me a ride like before?” Almero asked, raising an eyebrow.“N-no, that's not what I meant,” Dimas said, scratching his head. “I thought you'd be embarrassed if I rode with you on that beat-up motorcycle,” Dimas said with a sheepish smile.Almero was about to answer, but seconds later, he decided against it when he heard Caroll's voice interrupt him.“Where are you guys going?” Caroll asked Almero. "Can I come with you?" she continued with a warm smile.Dimas continued to watch Caroll, and her eyes had been fixed solely on Almero, as if he wa
Something Strange Happened
Upon reaching the top floor of the building, the elevator doors opened, and Almero stepped out. He walked down the long, quiet hallway. The top floor was indeed sparsely populated, and this floor was reserved for shareholders and Mr. Valton alone.Almero paused for a moment when he saw a man emerge from Mr. Valton's office, dressed in a janitor's uniform. The janitor stood frozen in place for a few seconds after noticing Almero in the hallway.Almero could clearly guess that the man had no idea he was there, and he didn't think someone was secretly spying on him. Luckily, Almero had finished his lunch early enough to catch the janitor leaving his father-in-law's office.Almero resumed his steps, and the janitor resumed his steps, his head lowered as if afraid of being discovered. Just as the janitor was about to pass, Almero suddenly blocked his path, staring at him inquisitively."What were you doing in Mr. Valton's room?" Almero asked, watching the janitor's hands as they carried h
A Series of Threats
“Honey, I'm going to eat with Dimas at the usual place. Is it okay if you eat with Dad?” Almero asked in a low voice. Although there were no listening devices in Edeline's office, he still had to be on guard.Edeline didn't answer immediately, but instead folded her arms across her chest, giving her a searching look. Seconds later, Edeline spoke up. “Is it really just the two of us?”“Yes, I've always eaten alone with her,” Almero said matter-of-factly.“If it's just the two of you, then why is Caroll always there?” Edeline asked with a sullen expression.Almero frowned after hearing his wife's words. He now realized that she was jealous and didn't like seeing him sitting at the same table with Caroll, even though Dimas was with them. He immediately grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her up from her sitting position. He then escorted her backward, cornering her against the wall. “Are you jealous, Miss?” Almero asked, his hand already groping his wife’s bottom.Edeline bit her lower l
The Mysterious Box
Valton remained silent, thoughtful. It wasn't that he didn't trust Father Phillips; he was simply no longer young. Valton feared something bad had happened to his former bodyguard. On the other hand, there was no one else he could trust to lead this search besides Father Phillips.Almero glanced around and his gaze landed on a shadow at the end of the hallway. He frowned, trying to discern who was eavesdropping on their conversation. A moment later, Almero grinned and deliberately interrupted Valton."Mr. Valton, may I speak before you make a decision?" Almero said, gesturing with his hand.Edeline, Valton, and Father Phillips immediately turned their gazes to Almero. The three of them fell silent for a moment, their faces expressionless, but then they realized the gesture in Almero's hand—it indicated that someone was listening in. Father Phillips and Valton exchanged glances and then nodded faintly."Just say it," Valton said without hesitation. "I don't think we can let Father Phi
