“What are you doing here?” Uno was currently rummaging through boxes and cupboards in one of the rooms of the Stewart manor. Mr. Summers was standing at the door holding a tray in his hand. After looking coldly at Uno for a moment, he called out.The sudden voice startled Uno slightly. A split second later, he turned around to take a look. “Oh, it’s you.”Mr. Summers' grey brows trembled imperceptibly. Inch by inch, his gaze moved downward, eventually falling on the notebook in Uno’s hand. “Wh
“You don’t have to provoke me, Mr. Summers. If there are benefits, then I’ll do it. Otherwise, I’ll zip my mouth.”Mr. Summers narrowed his eyes. After gaining verbal assurance from Michael, he felt slightly at ease. Nevertheless, he did not forget to arouse his sympathy as well. “You need to understand how tough it was for me to see my child die before me. Michael, I’m sure you can understand how it feels to lose a precious daughter, to lose the most important person, and the things that are m
“Big Brother, I’ll make sure what happened today stays between us. However, you need to stop being biased and investigate what had really happened back then.”Uno stared intently at Dos. “I won’t do lowly things like that! Boss entrusted this task to me, and I will do as I am told! I don’t even know exactly how much I will find.“It has been three years now. It won’t be easy to investigate the incident back then. Those punks are gone without a trace, and Jane is the only woman who knows what h
In the dimly-lit study, Sean Stewart studied the report in front of him while wearing a grave look on his face.“This… is what you found?” The thin stack of paper did not help the woman reverse her case. Instead, it further validated that woman’s vices. Uno nodded. “Boss, there really isn’t a hidden story from the incident three years ago. It has been three years now. There isn’t another person directly involved in this who knows what happened apart from Miss Dunn.“I can only start the inve
Before he could finish his sentence, Sean Stewart raised his hand and stopped Dos from saying anything further. “He didn’t fake this report. However, people with ulterior motives will use him because he does not know what is happening in the first place.“He won’t fake a report. However, it’s hard to tell whether the result of this report is real or fake.” Sean pushed the report toward Dos.“Listen. I want you to investigate what happened three years ago in secret. However, you need to keep th
Screech!Dos finally caught up. When he looked up, he was astonished… The police station?What was he doing here?With no time to think, Dos got out of the car and rushed inside.…“Keep this somewhere safe, Miss. Here’s your new identity card.”“Thank…” Before she could finish her sentence, a hand came into view suddenly as it snatched the identity card away from the staff at the counter.“You’ve got the wrong one. This is my Identity…” Jane turned around and froze at once. Her pale li
He dragged her out of the lobby and trotted toward the car.“Let go, let go! You’re hurting me!” Whilst holding the back of her waist, the woman struggled to break free from the man’s iron grip.The man ignored her as he stuffed her into the back passenger seat violently and climbed inside himself. Dos understood what was going on at once and hurried over to get into the driver’s seat.A partition rose between the front and back seats. Jane panicked when she heard the mechanical sound of the
“Mm!”It was useless to struggle.It was useless to resist.She tried tussling but was restrained by his iron grip.She bit down hard so that he could have a taste of splitting pain.Unfortunately, he did not feel any pain. Instead, a crack was heard coming from her jaw. What followed after the crisp crunching sound of bones was the pain that shot through her jaw. The pain was no less than the scalpel slicing through the back of her waist back then!She was gasping desperately. The pain sh
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
