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
Enemies Close By
Almero stepped into his bedroom and saw the light still on and his wife sitting on the bed reading a novel. He smiled and then went into the bathroom to change into his pajamas.After changing into his pajamas, Almero immediately joined his wife in the bed bag. He hugged Edeline, and she quickly placed her novel on the table after placing a bookmark where she had just been reading.“Why aren’t you sleeping, honey?” Almero asked, gently stroking his wife’s long, neatly combed hair.“I can’t sleep. Ever since that incident at the hospital, I’ve been scared a lot, and I can’t sleep well,” Edeline said, lying down.“If I had known you were still scared when I closed my eyes, I would have ended our conversation with Dad sooner,” Almero said, gently stroking his wife’s cheek.“What did you talk about with Dad?” Edeline asked, looking into her husband’s eyes. His eyes were sad, as if he felt guilty for keeping her waiting. “We're discussing the Phillips investigation, and I also think there
The Figure in the Hallway
“Father agrees with you. Edeline should naturally know about this problem and plan,” Valton said, standing up and moving to sit on the sofa to relax.Almero stood up as well, but before sitting down, he walked to the coffee machine and made two cups of coffee for them, then sat down opposite his father-in-law.“We should enjoy this coffee first, Father, before continuing our conversation. This problem is making my head throb,” Almero said, blowing on the steam from his cup.The aroma of the coffee wafting into his nostrils relaxed his mind slightly, and Almero could slowly feel the muscles in his body loosening. He took a slow sip of the thick, black liquid and then placed the cup back on the table.“You know exactly what Father needs right now,” Valton said after taking a few sips.“I can't imagine how tired Father must have been all this time thinking about this alone,” Almero said with a look of pity. "Edeline always helped Dad with every problem. She never let him deal with it al
Secret Message
Rvel and Abigail remained focused on the flat screen. They were both silent, but their minds were focused on the same thing—who had sent them the message containing the photo. After a moment of silence, Rvel began to speak.“What exactly is this person’s intention in sending Almero’s photo?” Abigail’s mother asked, looking at her husband.“I can’t guess his motives at this point,” Rvel said, stroking his stubble.“News of Almero’s accident hasn’t spread, as if someone is covering it up,” Abigail said, looking at her father. “Could it be that Mr. Valton did it?” she asked her father.“It seems he did,” Rvel replied with a serious expression. “If news of Almero’s accident gets out to the public, reporters will gather at the Xander Group’s gates, which will certainly be uncomfortable. That’s why Mr. Valton has asked his guards to suppress this news and prevent it from circulating on social media.” Rvel spoke after observing for a while. "I don't know why, but I feel like Almero has a ve
Everyone Targets Almero
Valton studied the faces of his family members, and it was so clear that the looks of hatred and disdain made the atmosphere in the living room feel stuffy and cramped, as if the hatred emanating from their hearts was preventing the air from circulating properly.“Uncle Erik’s birthday is coming up soon. Have you thought about what gift to give him?” Valton asked, looking at his younger brother. He tried to break the tension on their faces by changing the subject.“I don’t know, I haven’t thought about what gift to give either,” Eliam said, leaning back on the sofa.“How long are you going to stay here, Mr. Almero?” Angel asked, eyeing the man.“What do you mean?” Edeline asked back at the man with a sneer.“Ah… don’t misunderstand, Edeline, I was just asking.” Angel spoke with a faint smile. "We all know very clearly that no employee has ever stayed a single day at Uncle Valton's residence, but Almero has lived here for quite some time, and somehow I feel like he's more than just an
