No matter how hard Keenan tried to escape, he was eventually caught. Catherine had blocked every exit before she stealthily entered the house. Keenan was subdued, both hands double-cuffed and escorted by three burly men into the police car. His eyes met Catherine's, and they exchanged a look that was hard to decipher.Keenan's hatred grew when he saw Svarga arrive and stand next to his ex-wife. Keenan considered Catherine and Svarga's marriage to be the most ridiculous farce. He once thought that Catherine's return wasn't for revenge but to lure him back into reconciliation.Biana had also briefly entertained the same thought. She had hoped for Catherine to become her daughter-in-law again, especially after learning that the Chandra name Catherine bore belonged to the most esteemed family in the country."Are you happy?" Svarga whispered.Catherine's eyes remained fixed on Keenan as he was placed in the car. She nodded and then turned to embrace her husband. "Thank you," she said soft
Entering the new month, Glass Glory Entertainment typically experiences a significant increase in activity compared to previous periods. Meetings started to be held in each division, especially since the company's issues had yet to be resolved, even though Svarga and Catherine's names gradually improved in the public eye."Svarga, I have a meeting with the representatives and the parents of the minor trainees at ten," Liam informed him."Alright, have you prepared everything?" Svarga asked."Of course." Liam raised a flash drive containing the presentation materials for the minor trainees' plan to become models for Coquet Nature."Good luck, Liam. This is part of Catherine's plan. If the parents agree and it succeeds, then all the projects we've prepared can proceed immediately."Liam sought the best support for his discussion with the representatives and parents of the minor trainees to go smoothly and as planned. Liam left the room, and Svarga headed to the meeting held by Jericho i
Shopping items containing peppers and a milk bottle fell onto the floor, the glass shards unintentionally cutting Catherine's foot. The restaurant was not very crowded that evening since it was almost nine. A hotel guest and two employees approached Catherine, along with Svarga, who immediately left his seat, leaving Shena equally shocked."Cath?" Svarga called, but the girl glanced sharply, silently asking Svarga not to come near her.One employee helped Catherine walk to the nearby medical room while the other cleaned the glass shards and picked up the peppers. Her foot was cleaned, ointment was given, and bandaged. The milk bottle was quite heavy, injuring her foot before falling to the floor.Svarga waited before the medical room door, and Shena was also there. Neither dared to approach due to Catherine's intimidating glare. Svarga also didn't understand why Catherine was wandering around the hotel restaurant."Ma'am, would you like someone brought to your room in a wheelchair?" t
“What’s happening?” Catherine suddenly felt uneasy. “Is there something really bothering you? You have to tell me, Dhira.”Dhira looked at Catherine, her eyes filled with an indescribable fear. “I think someone killed my father, but I’m afraid my guess is wrong.”“Dhira, how can you say that?”“When we got back, my father was convulsing, and the nurse said that the valve of his heart tube was blocked, causing a brain seizure. I didn’t know it was fatal, but if it was blocked, what caused it?”“I didn’t even see anything unusual with the tube when I left the room. I’m sure someone deliberately came in and did this to my father,” Dhira said with conviction.Catherine patted her friend’s shoulder, knowing it was her duty now to calm Dhira. “I’ll go to forensics and check everything. You don’t need to worry; if there’s anything suspicious, it will be found out.”Dhira felt a bit guilty for discussing something that could have waited, but her heart was somewhat relieved because Catherine w
Catherine's groceries were scattered everywhere when she accidentally dropped them, rushing towards the figure she believed to be Keenan.She didn't look left or right, her eyes fixed on the figure that made her heart race. After all, Keenan was supposed to be in prison now, so why was he across the street?Catherine was nearly hit at the intersection, with several vehicles honking their horns in annoyance. Some drivers even shouted at her to be careful, but Catherine seemed deaf. Her eyes only focused on one point, her ears ringing, and sweat the size of corn kernels dripping from her forehead.Who knows how many CCTV cameras captured her reckless actions on the road; she must have made many security personnel busy behind the scenes. Not only them, but Liam was also trying to catch up, though he had to take a safe route and lagged.GRAP!The man she believed was Keenan turned around in surprise, feeling someone suddenly touch his hand.Tears rolled down Catherine's cheeks, disappoint

Svarga awoke to find himself in his hotel room. The man exhaled heavily, realizing that Catherine was no longer beside him. He tried to remember when he had last fallen asleep and now found himself awake at three in the morning. The sun hadn't risen yet, and the cold air from last night's rain blew gently through the window and vents."Was it Shena who moved me here? Ah, she's so kind," Svarga said, pouring himself a glass of water and checking his phone.There were no messages from either Catherine or Liam. The last time Liam contacted him, he mentioned he had just arrived home after dropping off Catherine.Tonight, Svarga was tormented by a dilemma. He knew he couldn't be a good husband, but he was also worried that he couldn't treat Shena well as a guest and friend. He fully realized that he was the son-in-law of the Chandra family, and people would undoubtedly think negatively if he got close to another woman.Now, Svarga was burdened by something quite distressing concerning the
The single-vehicle accident that claimed the life of Kanemoto Assa has become the most shocking news throughout Cranburry and the Louvre. According to police investigations, the woman is strongly suspected of committing suicide by taking over the taxi's steering wheel from the driver and crashing the car into the road divider.There were no eyewitnesses on the coastal road except for the CCTV that recorded the car's reckless actions. The actual taxi driver suffered severe injuries and is currently still unconscious. Assa's identity card, which was found in her wallet, was the only means of contact. Several representatives from Glass Glory Entertainment arrived and took Assa's body to the hospital after receiving the news.Catherine ran down the hospital corridor, accompanied by two senior tutors. Their legs went weak in front of the morgue door; they entered the room, and Assa's body was the only one there.Catherine couldn't bear to uncover the cloth covering Assa's body until one of
After three days of being hospitalized, Keanu was allowed to go home. The doctor also provided several therapy schedules to ensure he received optimal care until his shoulder was fully healed.As for the house gifted to him, Charlotte and Jarvey gave Keanu a house in Les Halles and another to Karletta in Louvre so she could be closer to Glass Glory for her work.On Charlotte’s advice, Devon accepted Keanu as his business partner. He had known Keanu for a long time and recognized his integrity and outstanding intelligence.“My heart is pounding,” said Karletta as she helped Keanu button up his jacket.“Why?”“Tomorrow is my first day as a grade A trainee at Glass Glory. I thought Mrs. Catherine would put me in grade C with the other newcomers. I didn’t expect her to assess my performance and all the awards I’ve received,” Karletta said.“That means you’ll debut faster, right?” Keanu asked.“Exactly, which is why my heart is racing. But what makes it beat the fastest is… Mrs. Catherine
Svarga visited Keanu after Easton mentioned that Keanu was awake and ready for visitors. Svarga's smile made Keanu lower his head, and he felt embarrassed in his presence."I thought you'd be asleep again," Svarga said. "How are you feeling now? Did Easton mess with your head after talking to him?"Keanu nodded. "A little. He almost confused me."Svarga didn't press further. "Charlotte and Jarvey will visit you this afternoon. They had to go to the police station to settle some matters from last night.""Will Emily be imprisoned?" Keanu asked, lifting his head slightly."With all the evidence you provided, it's inevitable. Emily and her family will face punishment in the Netherlands, not in this country," Svarga replied.Keanu sighed with relief. "I thought they might use their power to cover up their crimes.""It's not simple, son. You have given us a lot of information, much of which we don't even know. The evidence you presented shows there were many flaws they were trying to hide,
Keanu slowly opened his eyes. He had just woken up after eight hours, his first time regaining consciousness since the operation. His gaze immediately shifted toward the window, where he saw Devon and Karletta talking with their arms crossed.Keanu smiled softly, straightening his body, which felt sore and painfully stiff. The sound of the creaking bed drew Devon and Karletta's attention toward him. They both rushed to his side, their faces beaming with relief because Keanu was finally awake."Hey," Karletta greeted as she wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.Devon adjusted the bed's headrest to a 45-degree angle to make Keanu more comfortable. "Should I call the doctor?""No need. I'm fine," Keanu replied. "I just want something to drink."Karletta quickly grabbed a water bottle and handed it to her older brother. "I've heard everything. How are you feeling now? I've been avoiding a lot of people outside asking about your condition. Thankfully, Mrs. Catherine has been watchi
"HEY!" Jarvey shouted a bit loudly. "YOU'RE AWAKE?!""Annoying...." Keanu replied, then shifted his aching body. "Ah, this is such a hassle." The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at his shoulder wrapped in thick bandages.Charlotte stood tall, her eyes shining with tears streaming down her face. She pressed the emergency button, and shortly after, a doctor and a nurse entered the room."KEANU IS AWAKE!" Charlotte shouted excitedly, then she and Jarvey were asked to leave the room at the doctor’s request.Outside, Catherine, observing them all along, smiled with satisfaction, relieved that Keanu had finally opened his eyes after hours of sleeping post-surgery."Mama, you were right! Keanu is so strong. Look, he's awake now!" Charlotte exclaimed.Catherine hugged Charlotte back, tears in her eyes, too, eager for the doctor to let them see Keanu.After 15 minutes of examination, the doctor permitted them to enter but on the condition that they be quiet, as the effects of the anesthe
Emily and her parents were taken into custody by the police, and their case will be forwarded to a Dutch court. Today, they are being held in detention and waiting to be collected. They have been stripped out of these clothes and put into detention uniforms, each in an isolated cell — comparatively more comfortable than those where other detainees are lodged.Lucius instructed some colleagues to stand guard until the Dutch legal team arrived for mediation. "I have to go and check on the other guests. Some people being questioned have confessed that they were paid by Emily to support their engagement event and to prepare the plans they had in place if the event had gone successfully."Lucius then said they were all still planning on setting Noah up to ruin his career as well, and he wanted Lucius there in case something went south with being able to pin a significant failing of Noah's that goes right back around through him onto Emily’s parents.“Liam, you take him, and the rest of us
Everyone screamed hysterically, including Charlotte, who instinctively shouted and hugged the person protecting her."KEANU!" Charlotte's voice trembled violently, one hand pressed against the blood gushing from Keanu's shoulder.Charlotte cried almost hysterically, calling out for anyone who would help. People rushed over to her; some hurriedly called for an ambulance while Lucius moved Keanu's body to a chair, using the thick fabric of his coat to cover the bleeding.The Chandra family guards restrained Emily, preventing her from escaping, and blocked access to ensure none of her accomplices could flee. About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and Keanu was quickly rushed to the hospital.Charlotte, overwhelmed with emotion, held back sobs as she glared at Emily, her blood-stained hand pointing at her without saying a word, making Emily utterly terrified.Charlotte's gaze then shifted to Emily's parents, filled with an unbearable grudge, before she spoke, "I will make your da
Emily was terrified, and so were her parents. The couple accompanying Emily knelt before Catherine, begging for forgiveness like sinners fearing the gates of hell. Their actions, however, only raised questions among everyone present—what were they hiding that caused them to be so afraid?But Emily's reaction was different. She refused to beg Catherine for mercy like her parents had done. "You think you can do anything to me? I’m already engaged to Jarvey. Now ask my fiancé whom he will choose."Jarvey pulled Charlotte close, holding her hand tightly and showing everyone his answer. His actions naturally stoked Emily's fury even more."Fine, you're challenging me, huh? Then I’ll make your parents pay for everything!" Emily screamed in frustration. She grabbed Havella by the hair and dragged her away, prompting Noah to rush after his wife.Emily’s actions shocked many, including the media crew that Catherine had allowed to cover Emily’s event.The onlookers were horrified as they watche
All eyes were on the figure in the red dress, flaunting her beautiful curves. She wore matching red gloves that only covered her palms, and a black fascinator adorned her straight, flowing hair. Charlotte embodied the definition of luxurious beauty in the eyes of the wealthy elite. She smiled kindly at those who recognized her, while some deliberately hid, not wanting to be labelled as traitors for attending and supporting Jarvey’s wedding to another woman."Miss Charlotte, it's a pleasure to meet you," a man greeted her. He was the event moderator and a businessman whose company had Svarga as an investor."Hi, Karlos. Nice to see you, too. I guess you successfully united the couple today. Where are they?" Charlotte asked, her eyes scanning for Jarvey and Emily.Karlos didn’t answer. Sweat dripped down his body, his face pale. Soon after, Jarvey came running down from the second floor, tears streaming down his face upon seeing Charlotte. He rushed toward her and embraced her tightly.
Charlotte stood in front of the mirror, spending hours in this boutique, clearly excited despite her incredibly chaotic emotions. She could remain calm because Keanu and Devon were with her, offering comfort without hesitation.“Hey?” Devon greeted her as he entered the dressing room after the boutique staff called for him, allowing him to see Charlotte.For a moment, Devon was stunned by seeing the woman in a knee-length red dress. Charlotte had purposely chosen a bolder colour as a symbol of defiance against her heartbreak.“Devon, what do you think? Is my appearance enough? Do I look beautiful? I feel like the stitching around the waist makes me look a bit thinner,” Charlotte rambled.Devon exhaled and shook his head, feeling satisfied with Charlotte’s appearance. The undeniable aura of wealth radiated from her; Charlotte always looked luxurious in whatever she wore.“You’re beautiful,” Devon said, a simple sentence that never seemed to satisfy Charlotte.“Ah, I’m not sure.”“You’r
