Jack's eyes glinted with a fierce resolve as he spoke, his words carrying the weight of their shared mission. "Ashley's absence is suspicious, but I believe she's still here, pulling the strings from the shadows," he insisted, his voice steady despite the uncertainty surrounding their friend's whereabouts. "We'll find her and uncover the truth behind her involvement."Jill's brow furrowed in concern, but she nodded in agreement. "Agreed. We can't afford to ignore Ashley's role in all of this," she concurred, her own determination matching Jack's. "We'll track her down and confront her about what she knows."As they set aside the mystery of Ashley's disappearance for the moment, Jack's focus shifted to the breach at his office. "Whoever broke into my office will have to wait. Our priority now is bringing justice to those responsible for our parents' deaths," he declared, his voice firm with conviction. "The Golden Apple must be stopped before they unleash chaos upon the world."Jill's
The next day dawned with a sense of purpose as Jack deliberately opted for his usual car. He had to meet Carrie again; it was a crucial part of Jack and Jill's plan. Sending a message to Carrie, he suggested meeting for coffee, a proposal she readily embraced. Uncertainty gnawed at Jack's mind—would Carrie suspect anything after his mysterious disappearance at the hotel the night before, along with Carrie's employee ID card? Yet, Jack brushed aside these concerns; everything was meticulously planned.As Jack arrived at Carrie's apartment, he pressed the doorbell, his heart racing with anticipation. Moments later, Carrie swung open the door, her bright smile greeting him warmly. With a quick nod, she ushered Jack inside."Jack, it's great to see you again!" Carrie exclaimed, her enthusiasm genuine as she closed the door behind him. "I'm glad you suggested coffee; I could really use a break from work."Jack returned her smile, his expression carefully neutral. "I thought it would be nic
After successfully dialing emergency services, Jack scanned the kitchen frantically, ensuring there was nothing present that could have caused Carrie's sudden collapse. His mind raced with questions, searching for any possible explanation. There were no stray bullets fired from a distance, no apparent signs of foul play, and Carrie had seemed perfectly fine when they spoke moments ago. The puzzle of her abrupt demise loomed ominously over him, each unanswered question adding to his growing sense of unease.Soon, the wail of sirens pierced the air as an ambulance and police cars screeched to a halt outside Carrie's apartment building. Jack's heart sank as he watched the paramedics rush past him, their urgent movements a stark contrast to the stillness that pervaded the kitchen.As they approached Carrie's motionless form, the paramedics wasted no time in their assessment. With grim expressions, they exchanged solemn glances before one of them shook his head solemnly."I'm sorry, she's
Jack's solemn nod was a silent acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation, his features a mask of resignation tempered by an underlying determination. Despite the turmoil churning within him, he understood that compliance was his only recourse, at least for the time being. With a heavy heart, he trailed behind the military police, their authoritative strides echoing in the narrow corridor like a dirge for the freedoms he was being forced to relinquish.As they emerged into the cool embrace of the night air, Jack couldn't shake the feeling of being ensnared in a web of intrigue, of unseen eyes scrutinizing his every move from the shadows. The tension was palpable, thickening the air with an oppressive weight that seemed to suffocate him with each breath. With a resigned sigh, he slid into the backseat of the sleek black sedan that awaited him, the leather upholstery cold against his skin, a stark reminder of his captivity.The military police exchanged a glance of mild surprise at
As the video froze, Jill's eyes narrowed in concentration as she meticulously analyzed every detail captured by the hidden camera. She gestured to her assistant, her voice tinged with urgency. "Zoom in, and enhance the image around the window area," she instructed, her tone betraying a sense of urgency.Her assistant complied, deftly manipulating the controls until the image sharpened, revealing the unmistakable outline of a figure outside the window. Jill's breath caught in her throat as she observed the mysterious intruder, their features obscured by a hoodie and dark sunglasses, their intent shrouded in mystery."How could someone be outside the window of a fifth-floor apartment?" Jill's assistant exclaimed, their disbelief evident in their voice.Jill furrowed her brow, her mind racing to piece together the puzzle before her. "There must be a way onto that balcony," she mused aloud, her voice tinged with determination. "Pull up a satellite image of the building, focusing on the ki
“Ahh… Don't stop…”Naughty moans and sighs made Jack's steps stop. He had just come back to the grand and luxurious Hawthorne Family mansion after a long day. Of course, this house is not his, Jack is just one of the servants in this conglomerate family. Throughout the day, Gordon Hawthorne, the son of the Hawthorne family, had ordered him to go all over Lumina City, to buy things that Jack thought were ridiculous. But as soon as he stepped inside, he could hear a woman's voice in a room that he happened to pass by on his way to his room.Normally, Jack would have pretended not to hear, like all the other servants in the house, but this time was different. Not because Jack didn't know how playboy Gordon was and often slept with beautiful women, but because of the woman's voice that he knew very well this time. Curiosity tickled him until he ventured to approach the room which was only half closed.The closer he got, the more he recognized the woman's voice. Jack's eyes widened when he
[Use the welcome package. Yes / No?]The transparent screen shows two options. Jack doesn't understand what he's hearing or seeing, but he will do whatever it takes to save his own life. Softly, he said, "Yes."Jack closed his eyes and darkness then enveloped him. He would surely die now and what he just saw was a near-death hallucination. However, a second later, Jack felt a powerful rush of energy enters his body as if weaving back all the damaged parts of his body. All his broken bones crunched together again.Within a few minutes, Jack was able to open his eyes and with a feeling of surprise, he stood up. He saw that his hands were still covered in blood, but all the wounds had completely closed. Jack felt his health recovering, even much fitter than before. He felt his stomach which should be full of wounds, but now his stomach was not only intact without any injuries, but also filled with bulging muscles."Impossible," he murmured. Jack thought he must be dreaming.All of a sudd
"Okay, proof time," Jack said firmly, looking at the man with unwavering determination. Ashley Norton, who had been secretly watching their conversation, noticed an unusual amount of confidence in Jack's face. She was intrigued and curious about what would happen next. Jack took out his cracked cell phone and opened it carefully. He opened a banking app and showed his staggering account balance. "Here's the proof," Jack said, showing the balance display to the one hundred million dollar mark. "A hundred million dollars in my account." The guard was silent, his eyes widened in disbelief. He looked closely at the cellphone screen shown by Jack, trying to make sure that it was not a trick or engineering. "Wait! This must be a lie! He must be cheating to get that kind of money!” cried the security guard in panic. Ashley Norton, unable to hide her surprise, approached the two of them. She saw the balance displayed by Jack, and her face contorted into one of admiration. "I will call t
