Julia frowned, clearly confused. As far as she knew, Cory had never worked in construction. He had never mentioned owning a construction company, managing one, or even being involved in the industry.“You?” she asked with a small smile. “Are you really into construction?”Cory laughed awkwardly, immediately putting on an embarrassed expression. “I know it sounds strange, but yes. I've been involved in construction projects for quite some time. I've worked with several contractors, and I have friends in the industry who can handle practically everything.”He leaned back and shrugged casually.“I just never had a reason to tell you about it. I don't want you thinking I'm trying to show off.”Julia smiled. “And you can really handle a project this big?”“Absolutely.”Cory's answer came without hesitation.“I wouldn't offer if I wasn't certain. I'll make sure everything is done properly, from the foundation to the final finishing. You won't have to worry about anything.”Julia considered

That entire evening, Cory did everything within his power to save whatever money he still had. He opened every banking app, checked every account, and desperately tried to transfer the remaining funds. But every attempt failed. One by one, the accounts displayed the same message: Account restricted.His hands began trembling as he stared at the screen. All his money was now trapped inside accounts under investigation, and there was nothing he could do to access it. He contacted the banks repeatedly, but the responses were the same. The restrictions would remain until the investigations were completed.Cory eventually dropped his phone onto the sofa and covered his face with both hands. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he finally broke down completely. This was his money, money he had spent years accumulating, and now he could not even touch a single dollar.But deep down, Cory knew the truth was worse than losing his money. Much of it had been obtained illegally, and if the authoriti

The moment Cory and Matrix returned home, they could still feel the aching pain from the beating. Every movement sent another wave of pain through their bruised bodies. Cory dropped onto the sofa and held his ribs, his eyes watering from the pain.Matrix, however, was far more furious than hurt.“Fuck you, Cory!” he suddenly snapped. “You caused this! I shouldn't have involved Capo in the first place. Now they took my money, and they beat the hell out of me!”Cory lowered his head, unable to respond.Matrix pointed toward the door. “If the Langstone Cooperation can't handle this, then I'll find another organization elsewhere. And you...” He glared at Cory. “You can just fuck off and get out of my house.”Cory looked up. “I wanted to talk—”“Are you deaf?” Matrix roared. “I said get the fuck out!”Cory froze.For a moment, he wanted to argue, but one look at Matrix's furious expression made him change his mind. He immediately stood up, grabbed his things, and rushed out of the house wi

Cory stared at Marcus as though he had just seen something impossible. He had believed Marcus was dead, exactly as Capo had told them, yet here he was, standing perfectly fine in Julia's house with a faint smirk on his face.For several seconds, Cory couldn't move. His mind struggled to understand what he was seeing, and his throat suddenly felt dry.Julia noticed his strange reaction and frowned. “What? Is there something wrong?”Marcus stepped forward slowly, still watching Cory. “You're acting like you just saw a ghost, huh?”Cory immediately forced himself to regain his composure. He swallowed hard and straightened his clothes.“Hmm... nothing. Nothing at all,” he replied awkwardly. “I was just startled.”Marcus raised an eyebrow. “What is there to be startled about?”Cory forced a small laugh. “I'm just surprised. You came out of there so suddenly. Are you living here?”Marcus casually nodded. “Basically, yes.”“Oh...” Cory muttered.He glanced at Marcus again, still unable to un

The three men disappeared around the corner, and Marcus and Ryan remained where they were, watching until they were completely out of sight. Ryan finally turned toward Marcus and looked him over. “Are you okay?” Marcus glanced at himself before casually brushing some dust from his clothes. “I am perfectly fine.” Ryan nodded. “Good.” His expression then became serious. “What about Cory and Matrix? What do you want me to do with them? Kill them? Or break their legs and drag them here?” Marcus shook his head. “No need. I have something special for them.” Ryan raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further. He knew Marcus well enough to understand that when he spoke like that, he had already made up his mind. Marcus then looked at him. “What about the investigation?” Ryan understood immediately what he meant. “What Betty said really happened. She was telling the truth.” Marcus became silent for a moment. That was all he had wanted to know. After everything that had happened, he ha
