Then, Sean continued to explain what he needed to tell Damien. He carefully and in detail explained everything about the results of the work that he does. While Damien listened in silence, he occasionally nodded his head. He only reacted to what Sean had to say. It didn't mean that he was fully paying attention to the report. His mind seemed to be divided on two different things, and both were too heavy for him to keep thinking. He felt very tired, but as if he were not allowed to just put himself in the calm that his mind could get. "For now, that's all I can say," explained Sean. "Okay," he nodded. Sean saw Damien's current condition, and seeing him made Sean hesitate to withdraw from there. But he also couldn't stay there for long with Damien, even though he knew. Damien did not need to be accompanied by anyone except his wife. "I'm sorry," Sean said, finally working up the courage to speak. "What's wrong?" Damien asked, turning his gaze to Sean. "I have to go again. "I have
Knowing Lily's sadness, Xavier immediately felt that's a very good opportunity for him to win Lily's love again. "I think this is a very good opportunity. I can't waste this opportunity to get Lily's love." Therefore, Xavier immediately took the opportunity and provoked Lily. "Lily, you must know and realize that, all this time, you have been fooled by your husband." "Fooled? What do you mean?" Lily asked confusedly. "I mean, your husband has been having an affair with another woman behind you all this time, Lily! That means you are fooled, Lily. I feel very sorry for you. I am so sad to know that. You are the perfect girl in the world, but how can there be a man who fools you?" "Huh? Having an affair? What is the proof?" "If he isn't cheating, there's no way he will have given your parents' house to Alexia. How can he give your parents' house to Alexia? Indeed, what does Alexia do to your husband until he gives your parents' house to her? I'm sure Alexia and your husband have don
"Forgive me for my anger earlier, Damien! I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you, Damien!” Lily immediately apologized to Damien. "It's okay, Lily. I understand your feelings," Damien said as he played Lily's hair. Then, Damien began to tell about the true incident until his illness was cured by Alexia. "Oh. So because of that, I understand why you gave the house to Alexia," Lily said. "I think Alexia is the one who saved my life, and I should thank her instead of being angry with her." Damien said he was cut off by Alexia's words. "Hmmh… I don't think you should thank me until you give the house of Lily's parents to me. If you just want to thank me, I don't think you need to give me the house. Just say thank you, Damien!" interrupted Alexia. "No, Alexia. You've been so kind to me. So, I think I must give the house to you, Alexia!" Damien argued. "I never ask you. There's no must, Damien!" Alexia argued. "I mean, that's normal." "No! No! I feel pity for Lily's parents, Damien!
Damien had been thinking about Xavier's game for a long time. "How about Xavier's game pattern? I'm really confused. What does he want from me?" Those things were on Damien's mind all along time while he was following Xavier's games, like when Xavier and Turner tried to destroy Damien's company stock, when Xavier tried to seduce Lily and instigating Lily, etc. During that time, he could only follow Xavier's game while he paid attention to Xavier's behavior patterns. For Damien, all human behavior is patterned. So, they will make patterns for their actions. Therefore, Damien is very sure that there is a pattern to Xavier's game. So, he only has to follow the pattern, and then he will understand Xavier's thoughts. Finally, at that time, Damien understood Xavier's game and the tricks of Xavier's game. He can also guess and speculate about Xavier's next plan. That time, Damien swore to destroy everyone who had made him suffer so much, including Xavier. "I swear to destroy everyone who
Mrs. Turner walked restlessly around the room. Her face was full of concern at the ongoing police investigation at her husband's company. She was worried that the company's investigations had uncovered something that she had been trying to cover up. "How do you do it up properly?" asked Mrs. Turner of his subordinates, who took care of his orders. The person stood with his face down in front of Mrs. Turner. "The ongoing investigation seems to have gone beyond our expectations," he said with a heavy heart. Mrs. Turner stared at him in disbelief. "What do you mean? What really happened?" Mrs. Turner asked him. With a heavy heart, the man braced himself. "The prosecutor's office is processing evidence of fraud by the company. Maybe in a few days the arrest warrant will be issued," he said, predicting their movement according to the current law. Mrs. Turner widened her eyes. She was glaring at the man with anger. "This shouldn't be what I heard from you after what I ordered you to
At night, Damien corrected his position on his bed. He, who had been lying down, couldn't close his eyes and fall asleep, even though he tried. His mind was still awake. He was still thinking about the things that had occupied his attention since earlier. His body started to feel sore. Therefore, he leaned his body against the neck of the bed. He was silent, thinking pensively about things that were important to him. He still couldn't shake off his worry about the cause of his parents' deaths. For some reason, his curiosity about the deaths of his parents made him feel anxious. He was afraid to find out who was behind it. It wasn't that he was afraid of becoming their target, but that he was afraid that if the person who caused his parents' deaths was the mastermind behind it all, it would be someone that he knew well. He was anxious at that thought. He was afraid that later he would suffer great disappointment and injury. Especially if he remembered when Mrs. Turner was dying, befo
Alexia went back to her work on making herbs. As usual, she seemed to be so focused, but strangely, she seemed to repeat the dosage she made several times as if her mind was not focused on what she was doing but was elsewhere thinking about other things as well. "Argh!" A moan escaped from Alexia's small lips. She missed her focus. She was covering her face with her palms. "Who is that person exactly?" Alexia left her desk to work. She went to the cupboard where she kept a bottle of brandy. The white bottle with a luxurious-looking shape was filled with a liquid made from a mixture of wine and perfume, and Alexia poured it into a glass. She shook the stem of her glass with a vision that seemed dreamy about the thing that made her need a drink in the middle of the day like this. She shook the glass calmly and poured the brandy. Then, Alexia slowly took a sip like a tranquilizer. In the midst of her raging thoughts, Alexia made brandy the only thing that could help her. "Perhaps thi
In a restaurant, Mr. Venus sat opposite Alexia. He looked at Alexia worriedly. There was something that he wanted to talk with her about, and it gave Alexia an inkling of something. "Actually, why do you want to meet me?" asked Alexia after a long silence. Mr. Venus, who poured a glass of brandy into Alexia's glass, smiled without looking at him. "I heard you like brandy. I'm also a fan of brandy; I just want to invite people with the same taste for a drink," he said kindly to Alexia. Even though the man said that he just wanted to drink, Alexia could consciously take the word in a different sense. Her hunch was that this was no ordinary meeting between her and Mr. Venus. Remembering that Lord Venus served as a general made her feel even more that the man might do something dangerous. But Alexia has no idea who they are or what their true purpose is. Even if the man said it, Alexia still harbored another suspicion. "I don't know why you enjoyed brandy more than the others," said
