The next day, Nancy intentionally wore a black formal suit. TV crews came to cover the exhibition, and Nancy was designated to speak on behalf of Yaacob. Therefore, she dressed up very formally for the occasion.After checking every detail in front of a mirror, Nancy was satisfied with what she saw. Then she twirled around in front of Yaacob and asked, "Well, what do you think?"Yaacob carefully glanced at her from head to toe, nodded and said, "You are gorgeous! Come over and let me have a closer look." He crooked his finger at her.Nancy saw his eyes flickering with mischief and knew what he was up to and was not prepared to go along with him."No way, I can't have you mess up my makeup. You know I'm here on business today, I can't afford to fool around with you."Nancy then turned around to fetch the pair of heels she ordered online from the shoe cabinet.Yaacob stared at her intently and fixed his gaze on her calf, then asked, "How's your wound?""It's much better."The w
Everyone was shocked to learn that Nancy had gone missing.Did this imply there was more than one killer? The security details arranged by Yaacob to protect Nancy were drugged and unconscious. How was Nancy abducted without anyone noticing?Yaacob searched the entire building, a total of 68 floors, to no avail. Not only did he not find Nancy, he could not find a single clue on who was the perpetrator.That was impossible! The perverted murderer had to bore a hole in the ceiling to commit his crime and inevitably left traces in his escape route. So how did the people who took Nancy, whoever they were, manage to distinguish the security details from the crowds?It was as if they knew the plans and arrangements ahead of time!Yaacob tortured and lynched the killer, hoping to learn where Nancy was taken. However, the killer refused to say anything.Two hours later, Yaacob received an anonymous email. The sender warned Yaacob to stay put and not to take any action, or else he would ge
Nancy did not expect Julian to agree without any hesitation."Are you serious?""Were you not serious?"Julian was staring at Nancy. It was obvious that if Nancy were to say she was joking around, it would anger him.Nancy was handed the short end of the stick by Julian once, and she knew that if she upset Julian again, no one would be around to rescue her if Julian tried to kill her again. Thus, for her own sake, she decided to change the subject."You and Lucy were only married for half a year, it's not easy to get a divorce right? How would you explain it to her parents? Besides, she had an abortion for your sake…"Julian cut her off. "Ah, that's not something you have to worry about. As long as you're single, we can be married as soon as I finalize the divorce.""Wait, I really have to ask, why do you want to marry me out of the blue?" Nancy was bewildered.Nancy knew that she was attractive and beautiful, but she had two failed marriages, and her reputation was not good. I
Another day passed, with Nancy still being locked up and Julian nowhere to be seen. Julian had stopped all gas and water supply, leaving her with no means to make good on her suicidal threat.Other than racking her brain to figure out a way to escape, the only other thing Nancy could do was to watch TV.She was not in the mood to watch drama or movies; she chose to watch economic and financial news, hoping to find out what was going on out there.However, what she was getting on the TV was not as updated or comprehensive as what would be available online. All the channels were more or less broadcasting the news at the same time slot.As she did not know when news relating to the Getson Corporation would be on, she could only channel surf, hoping to catch every scratch of details available.Finally, she found a news snippet concerning Yaacob."In recent days, Getson Corporation, the largest enterprise in Asia, held a board meeting to discuss the corporation's development and ind
After a long and restless night, Nancy succeeded at keeping Julian from getting what he wanted after putting up quite a fight.When the day broke, Nancy changed into a new set of clothing and squatted by a corner in her room. She pulled the curtain to peer outside and wished for the sun to hurry up so that the morning would come faster.Julian was no longer in her room and was instead sitting in the lounge. He was tending to the wound inflicted by Nancy's bite, wrapping layer after layer of bandage around it. While he was at it, he stared long and hard at Nancy's room, with its door shut.Finally, it was a new day. Nancy heard footsteps approaching. Instinctively, Nancy held herself tighter while she continued to squat by the corner, with uptight shoulders, and secretly holding a toothbrush with a sharpened tip.'I'm going to kill that b*stard if he dares to force himself on me again!' thought Nancy.However, it was not Julian who opened the door and entered her room. It was a str
When Julian kidnapped Nancy, he wanted to threaten Yaacob into admitting his involvement in the murder of Emily. That way, the board of directors would sack him since the negative publicity would cause losses to the Corporation.Since Nancy had been released and Julian got what he wanted, Yaacob handed the killer over to the authorities. However, most of the staff in the Getson Corporation felt that Yaacob lost any chances he had of being chosen as the heir to inherit the corporation. Thus, what difference would it make even if he could prove his innocence?The Getsons had always considered him an outsider. There was even less likelihood that he could fight his way back. However, as fortune favors the bold, an opportunity presents itself not long afterward.Firstly, the media speculated Lucy was being abused by Julian. This was followed by photos of Lucy being hospitalized for a coma, fueling the rumor that Julian wanted a divorce, and that forced Lucy to commit suicide by jumping o
One should never underestimate the impact public opinion has on a company.Initially, Julian decided to ignore the waves of condemnation and call for a boycott of him by netizens who sympathized with Mandy. As a result, the share price of Getson Corporation plummeted, and shareholders were panicking.Damon, who was the chairman of the company, was forced to come out of his semi-retirement. When Damon showed up at Getson Corporation, with Yaacob trailing along, Julian knew things were bad, causing him to frown with agitation.He was right. Damon made it clear during the board meeting that he wanted Yaacob back in the company."I've already appointed someone to take over the position at the Cultural Department," said Julian, making it clear that Yaacob's position had been taken."That's okay. I've got a new position for Yaacob," said Damon.Damon appointed Yaacob to be the vice president of the company, which was a promotion, having the same authority as the president of the company
Yaacob had handed Emily's killer to the authorities a while back. The discovery that the killer was a 14 year old kid created an uproar and heated discussion among the general public.Because the perpetrator was a minor, it was very challenging for the judiciary to proceed with the trial and even more complicated with his indictment. In addition, the murdered victim was a foreigner, and so was the killer.Therefore, the local police were reluctant to get involved and decided to wash their hands clean by deporting the killer back to his home country, letting them deal with the killer according to their laws.While the two countries were still negotiating the details, the killer took off and escaped."Will he come looking for me?" asked Nancy."Probably not.""Didn't you say that they wouldn't stop until their target is dead?""Yes, but I caught him before, and I doubt he'd be showing up. If he does come, I'd just catch him again like I did the first time," Yaacob told her.What
