CHAPTER 121
At first, Damien’s investigation was challenging, especially since the name wasn't even real. However, it turned out that there were some genuine leads, like the fact that he was a returnee and had a connection with his stepmother. But their relationship was far from just a simple acquaintance. They paid attention to the clues provided by Thomas. Mrs. Clair had plans regarding Thomas and always seemed to be around him, casually gathering information about the surroundings. Soon enough, a piece of information stood out as noticeably different. A man from the family had rented a house a few streets away. As the real name surfaced, more details began to emerge, revealing the tip of the iceberg beneath the surface. Damien was related to Mrs. Clair in some way, which could be inferred from their last names. Damien was her son, though adopted, creating a legally binding relationship that did not grant him inheritance rights from the Thomas family. He was a somewhat threatening presence, bu
CHAPTER 120
"I've never been afraid of anyone. You think just because you have the numbers, you're tough? If you're not scared of dying, then go ahead and try me." Damien’s fierce demeanor showed no signs of retreat in front of his enemies; after all, there was nothing left for him to lose. Robison watched the man in front of him, a presence so intense it was hard to ignore. Damien let out a cold laugh and kicked the man lying on the floor. The guy didn't even flinch. Is he dead? "I'm not looking down on you guys; this is just the start." "Gentlemen, please, let's not get too worked up. We can talk this out." The door to the private room swung open, and the duty manager rushed in, drenched in sweat, struggling to catch his breath. Two waiters followed closely behind. As he steadied himself, he nearly stumbled again upon noticing the body on the floor. "What... what happened? Is this gentleman alright?" The manager hurried over and crouched down, his head resting on the man's left chest. He sig
CHAPTER 119
They had already placed their orders, just like usual. However, they didn't notice a line of small text appearing at the bottom of their screen. This was where Damien started to play his tricks. Seeing that the dishes ordered were all extravagant and lacked any creativity, Damien decided to add some amusing notes to the order. Once everything was set, he unplugged the data cable. Damien hoped that the arrogant guy would appreciate the gift he was about to receive and truly enjoy his meal. After all, he hadn't forgotten how that jerk had ruined his dinner the previous night, leaving him humiliated in front of Thomas. Now that they finally had a chance to meet, it was a classic case of enemies crossing paths. Damien was determined to see who would outsmart whom. He had a mind full of schemes and mischief. If Damien didn't teach him a lesson, that guy would never know just how formidable he could be. Meanwhile, the staff received a notification about Damien’s changes. Neither side wa
CHAPTER 118
As for Damien, the information they had was still too limited, and the surveillance footage hadn't revealed much, only adding to the mystery surrounding him. They could only hope that Damien was indeed his real name; that would give them a clearer direction for their investigation. The first step was to follow up on his name and license plate number, and the second was to look into his interactions with Mrs. Clair. The license plate number was a more straightforward lead, especially since these luxury vehicles often had more information hidden in their registrations. It wasn't just basic information; it could involve fixed assets or family background, and there might even be personnel records tied to it. They checked two cars, but the registered owners were completely different, with no obvious connections between them. This made Damien’s identity even more elusive. Perhaps Thomas was being too cautious. The person they were investigating certainly warranted a thorough look into. "B
CHAPTER 117
The person across from her paused for a moment. He had heard from a friend that this was urgent, otherwise, he wouldn't have answered the call. He didn't realize that identifying items could be such a pressing matter, and he felt a bit puzzled when he heard it was just a picture. "It's fine, just show me the item," he said. Seeing that he understood, Ava let out a sigh of relief. She pulled out her phone, opened her photo gallery, and clicked on the image before handing it over with both hands. He took the phone and examined the picture closely. To be honest, the photo wasn't very professional, but the item in it was indeed intriguing. Ava watched him closely, not feeling any dissatisfaction. He was studying it carefully, and she couldn't tell if it was out of politeness or if the item truly had significant value. After a thorough look, she confirmed it was a rare style. When she looked up, she noticed the expert's anxious expression, And he finally spoke. "From the picture you pro
CHAPTER 116
"Enter the password." The information needs to be unlocked again. "Sorry, the password is incorrect." Ava realized that the number was neither her daughter’s birthday nor her own. She had tried a series of possible digits, but now her attempts were limited. What could that number be? Ava fell into silence. "What are you doing?" Thomas suddenly appeared, startling Ava so much that she quickly shoved her phone into her pocket. She looked at Thomas, whose hair was still damp from the shower, and wondered how he had come into the living room without her noticing. "You... you're done showering? Look at you, how can you just throw your clothes around? The sofa isn't a wardrobe." Ava quickly scooped up the clothes, using them to cover her pocket, trying to act as casually as possible. Thomas stared at her for several seconds, sensing something was off. He slowly spoke up, "What's going on with you?" "Um, I'm done. You should go wash up too. I'm a bit tired, and could you take those clot
