In Hideous's study room, tensions reached a boiling point, fueled by Lilia's explosive outburst and actions. Kyle did not expect this, but they could tell that this was the real personality of their mother.Lilia, who couldn't take it anymore, glared at three men of the Montenegro family. If she weren't Hideous' wife, Kyle, and Keisley's mother, she could have died already."I can't believe you all are taking her side! She's manipulating you!" she screamed as she pointed her fingers in the direction of Sherly's room. He immediately frowned. He doesn't know why Lilia doesn't like Sherly so much. In the first place, she did nothing to her.Hideous knew that the moment he brought Sherly into their home, his wife didn't like her already. However, his daughter is much more important than his wife, who knows nothing but spends his and her son's money.That's right, she didn't do her job as wife and mother, but she spent all their money.Driven by rage, Lilia's eyes went red as she overturn
Keisley's eyes narrowed as he realized the weight of the situation. He knows what will happen next. Without a word, he stood up abruptly. The tension in the room is intense. Sensing that this matter was far from over, he left the room with purpose. He has no intention of staying here because he is afraid that he'll say something that he shouldn't. After all, even though he is much softhearted than his eldest brother, his tongue is much sharper than a person could imagine. Keisley made his way to his sister Sherly's room, where he found her engrossed in a book.Kyle and Hideous only glanced at Keisley and did not say a word. After all, they know him. He still has a little respect for his mother as his elder. Thus, he doesn't want to say something that might make him lose his respect.When Keisley went inside Sherly's room, he sat down. Breathing heavily, Keisley recounted the unsettling events that happened, his voice low but urgent. He wants his sister to know everything, even though
Sherly entered her condo, and the smile that adorned her face in Keisley's presence was fading away. He couldn't help but sighed as she entered her own space. Her demeanor shifted, revealing a cold and calculating aura as she closed the door behind her. The urgency of the text she received lingered in the air, and her eyes darkened as she reached for her phone.She stared at the message from one of her people. The message from Maria, one of her trusted aides in the underworld, was brief but enough to raise alarms.Her message was short, but it gave Sherly different feelings. If she does not handle it well, it will cause a lot of problems on her side."Hanna's movements are suspicious. Evidence attached." Sherly's fingers moved swiftly as she tapped on the screen, opening the attachments Maria had sent.When she opened the attachments, her brows furrowed as a series of photos and documents unfolded on her phone. Sherly's frown deepened as she studied the evidence Maria gave her.Hanna,
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. Sherly stirred, slowly opening her eyes. As her vision adjusted, she took in the unexpected sight that met her gaze—an array of adult toys scattered on the floor. Confusion flickered in her eyes for a moment before the memories of the previous night flooded back.A satisfied smile curled on her lips as she turned her head to the side, and there, lying beside her, was George. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and she couldn't help but appreciate the situation they found themselves in.George stirred as well, his eyes meeting hers. A hint of amusement danced in his gaze as he noticed her expression. "Good morning," he greeted with a playful grin.Sherly chuckled, running a hand through her tousled hair. "Morning. Looks like we had quite a night."He glanced around at the scattered toys, and a sly grin tugged at the corners of his lips. "It seems like it."Sherly laughed, the memorie
Sherly sat in her office at the condo, surrounded by the familiar ambiance of her own space. She was engrossed in going through some reports, looking and reading the intricate web of the underworld's affairs. Even though she only handle information, these kind of things is very common. Especially when she is in the nuetral side.As she is trying to burried herself at work, the phone rang. When she is working, Sherly has no intention of accepting any call. However, when she glanced at the caller ID to find it was her brother, Keisley."Hey, Sherly," Keisley's voice came through the line, making her smile. "We're having dinner at the villa tonight. You should come. It's been a while."Sherly gigles. "What is it's been a while? Didn't we just have a dinner when I let you guys go to the university?" she joked.Keisley, on the other hand, went silent. "Oh, that's not what I mean.""Then what?" Sherly leaned back on her chair."We just wanted to have a dinner with you. Me, Dad, and Big brot
Sherly sat down on her rocking chair in her dimly lit study room. Her rocking chair is making a soft creaking sound.She was closing her eyes as she felt like she wanted to take a rest after a pile of paper work was finished and assorted. The information she had in her mind is now getting more and more aggressive.While resting, her phone on the desk beside her rang. It broke the silence in her study, and she opened her eyes. She calmly picked up the phone and answered it."Hello?" Sherly answered. Her voice was calm but attentive.After all, the number who called her is her client from the underworld. Even though she is calm, it doesn't mean she's okay with her client calling her.The voice on the other line of the call was tense, and the voice was on the edge with frustration as the person on the other end of the call. "Sherly, this is Liang from Rui Lin Mafia," he introduced. We have a problem," he added.Liang is one of the secretaries of the Rui Lin Mafia boss. This man is also w
Hanna tried to justify her actions of betrayal towards Sherly, and Sherly was about to get angry to death. Her eyes narrowed into icy slits as she absorbed Hanna's desperate pleas, her expression a mask of unyielding resolve. With a voice like steel and as cold as ice, she delivered her verdict with chilling finality."Hanna, your family's safety is no concern of mine." Sherly's words cut through the air like a sharpened blade, each syllable dripping with a cold, merciless disdain. She would like to warn Hanna like this to make her tell the truth and show her real self. "They're already abroad, living comfortable lives, thanks to the opportunities I provided when I took you under my wing. But make no mistake—if you thought betraying me would save them, you couldn't be more wrong." She then smiled coldly at Hanna.Those smiles are what people in the underworld hate. The people who saw her like that couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. Right now, it was Hanna who wished that she
After the tense exchange between Sherly and Hanna, Sherly's phone buzzed with a message from George, a welcome distraction from the chaos of the underworld.She had been too stressed out from what happened earlier, and even though she would lose a little since Hanna is a great worker, it's okay for her. After all, it is better not to have someone like Hanna in her own circle."Hey, Sherly," the text read, "I know it's been a rough day, but if you're up for it, how about we grab a drink together? Meet me in front of the mall?"Rough day.Sherly doesn't know how George got to know that he had a rough day, but since the distraction is here, she'll be happy to.Sherly's lips curled into a faint smile. This is the first smile she gave today since the thing happened regarding Hanna.With a sense of relief, she replied, "Sounds good. See you there."She wanted to see him after all. There's nothing wrong with her wanting to see him.Sherly wasted no time preparing. After she took a bath and t
