Chris couldn't believe what he had just discovered. He repeatedly checked to ensure there were no mistakes and confirmed that his eyes saw the list of names, which he had obtained earlier in the afternoon after nearly a week of searching.

Since the last time he met Leonel, Chris's days, he had been occupied with an assumption that couldn't be easily dismissed. His strong intuition as a lawyer led him to another purpose that Josh Corp had. Although there hadn't been any significant developments apart from their decent collaboration, Chris felt that there was something more.

"Are you still working?" his wife asked as she brought a cup of tea and a snack. "I think it's getting late, honey. Don't overexert yourself. If you get sick, everyone will be in trouble."

Chris placed the pen that had been between his fingers on the table. He had used it several times to mark essential points he would discuss with Leonel at the office. What his wife had just said was true. It

    Ester was distraught with all the treatment that Leonel and Agatha Theodore had subjected her to. Since earlier, she had been pacing back and forth in her apartment room, trying to calm her anger. Instead of easing her frustration, Ester only grew to hate them even more because she couldn't just forget about them. Especially Agatha's smug expression, as if she was delighted to have made Ester do something she rarely did—step foot in the kitchen.From the studio where she had a photoshoot, despite being given sharp glares because Ester couldn't utter curses or display her displeasure at Agatha's arrival, the middle-aged woman insisted on waiting for Ester's return. Agatha sat on one of the chairs as if on purpose, observing Ester's work there. Occasionally, Agatha laughed while talking to Sofi, but Ester, who saw it, felt that Agatha was pretending. Ester had only seen Agatha speak to anyone else if necessary. But with Sofi? They were becoming even closer. Not to mention

    Usually, on weekends, Leonel rarely stayed at home. He would be at Ester's apartment if he weren't socializing on the golf course. They would spend time together, easing the longing that sometimes grew overwhelming. Especially when Ester had photo shoots outside the city or even abroad. But now? He didn't want to do that anymore. Instead of going out, he chose to swim to fill his limited free time. The clear and refreshing pool water could clear his mind, overwhelmed with piled-up work and suspicions about something.Occasionally, he would come up for a breath, swimming skillfully on his back repeatedly until he started feeling tired, creeping into his body. He paused for a moment, but only briefly. Once again, he swam around the spacious pool at his parents' house. The childhood home that he never forgot, with every detail still intact. Even his room was well-maintained."Leonel," his mother called, who had been there a while ago, watching in case her son wanted to en

    In his father's office, Leonel listened carefully to Chris's explanation. He didn't interrupt because he wanted to know what Chris had to say. What happened? Why was everything being covered up like this? And they were having difficulties investigating further. It turned out their suspicion was correct that certain parties had a significant influence on the media. So what they were looking for wasn't easy to penetrate."Josh Corp, especially Mr. Josh himself, has a considerable stake in Antefixa channel, Leonel. All the news comes from them. Then they sell a snippet of news that supports the conversations that have already spread to other media outlets to keep the focus on one point. And because of this news, many accounts that pretend to know about the rumors have emerged. They're making the situation even more heated and creating numerous speculations. It's shutting down a lot of news."After saying that, Chris looked intently at Leonel. He didn't expect his findings

    He knew his arrival was unwelcome. Especially since after that lunch, his beloved girlfriend had left him. He heard Leonel say he wanted to discuss many things with Chris. Could Ester change his mind? Of course not. Not because she couldn't, but because she saw Robby and Agatha's attitude, which seemed to let Leonel ignore her. Ester didn't matter. Besides, her visit was not just to meet Leonel.Was she going to admit defeat in front of those two people? No, she wouldn't. She still felt the rejection she received before, especially the words that came out of Agatha Theodore's mouth. She vividly remembered when she was getting ready to leave town for a photoshoot. Ester's name was still relatively new at that time, but she received many prestigious and significant projects."I'm not here for a regular visit," Agatha said firmly. She didn't sit down and wasn't welcomed with Ester's friendly smile. Agatha didn't dislike this beautiful girl. Ester is a perfect match for Le

    Leonel couldn't directly confront Ester Gisela. It's not that he didn't want to, but he knew that if Chris' painstaking investigation made Ester suspicious and she reported it to Josh, all their crimes would be exposed, and Leonel wouldn't be able to uncover them. Josh was too cunning to be defeated. Leonel couldn't act recklessly. Somehow he felt lucky to have Ester by his side.It wasn't because he wanted to marry her. Leonel no longer desired what he had wanted all this time. Maybe his foolishness had faded away, and his mind could think clearly. That wasn't his focus now. He had to uncover Ester's true intentions for working with Josh this time. She would cooperate with a purpose. Leonel was certain.Currently, Leonel was driving the car to drop off Ester. Occasionally, he responded to whatever Ester said. His demeanor had returned to normal, unlike when Ester exposed the incident in Cattle Village. Leonel had to be innovative and gather information, or at least be

    Two days passed.Leonel carried out his activities as usual. Nothing had changed except for one thing that now caught his attention—Ester. Leonel was no longer as cold towards her because he had a specific goal. He couldn't afford to be unaware of Ester's true mission. He also had to watch Josh, who was somewhat challenging to reach. Leonel still had to attend meetings with several high-ranking executives at Mountain and engage in new marketing planning, and his time was too short of spying on Josh.If Chris' hypothesis about the man's movements was correct, then Josh had executed all his plans with Ester very well. Leonel also had to check many new agreements with Josh because he was worried that he might not know something about those contracts. He had asked Deborah to reread the existing agreements carefully.Leonel let out a sigh. The report before him was already draining his mental energy and concentration. A knock on the door made Leonel raise his h

    Chloe touched her face several times. There was an intense warmth spreading through her. Her heart also felt a different kind of excitement after Darren's words. No, she hadn't heard it for long, but it felt like she had heard Darren say it many times before.Chloe wondered why she felt different when she was with Darren. Although she had enough worries and knew how Josh felt about her, compared to Darren, they were different. Somehow, Chloe preferred being close to Darren.Chloe knew and understood that Josh was good. Since she met him for the first time, she had never felt anything strange or any negativity around Josh. He was so protective, caring, and genuine towards her. He was not only towards Chloe but also the same with her other friends."Why am I thinking about men?" Chloe grumbled while waving it off. She went back to her activities in the kitchen. There had been a significant pause earlier because her conversation with Darren had broadened her perspe

    Chloe trembled. The ongoing conversation deeply shook her, and she seemed still happening. She heard everything clearly, and it shook her to the core. So all this time, Josh was working with Ester? Creating the turmoil that made Leonel like this?No. It wasn't that Josh was sympathizing with Leonel. If everything was planned and organized as they were discussing, what else could be but a trap? To implicitly make Leonel follow their desires.Furthermore, why was her name being dragged into this? What was the connection? Chloe didn't understand any of this. Don't ask her heart to function; it felt like she was seeing her organs on the floor and beating there strongly as she was overwhelmed with everything filling her mind.But her body remained stiff. She dared not approach because perhaps her intuition told her to stay silent. Listen carefully, and maybe they were devising a new plan.One thing she never expected. Josh's involvement.Josh William?

    "So... this is Chloe?" the woman, observing the newcomer, asked. In one glance, Rania could tell that her son's companion had quite a high taste. Everything about her attire looked well put together."Yes, Mom. It is Chloe," Darren spoke first. "Mom was questioning her like a police officer. Chloe got scared, you know."Rania frowned at her son's comment. She was already worried enough about the promises her son made. What more did Rania want? She just wanted to see Darren happy with his partner. How long would they continue their relationship? Darren was at an age where he should be starting a family. Why postpone it?"Don't talk like that by the door." This time, Bagas spoke. Since Darren's car entered the garage, Bagas had been preparing himself to welcome his future daughter-in-law. He was also quite curious about the woman Darren brought this time.Even though he had rejected the idea of an arranged marriage from both him and his mother."Oh,

He is still under intensive monitoring by a capable medical team. Two days after waking up, Robby moved Leonel to Singapore.The treatments Leonel underwent brought significant changes. The surgeries on his legs and abdomen went smoothly. His health recovered quickly, although he still couldn't move as usual. There are still many therapies that Leonel needs to undergo to regain normal mobility.The atmosphere in his room has mostly stayed the same since he first occupied it."Sir," one of his employees called out. Regarding office matters, Leonel wanted to take a bit of time. His mind was still functioning, and he insisted on handling Mountain again. At first, Robby disagreed, but Leonel pleaded earnestly.He said, "If I'm not busy working, Pa, I'll go crazy. Every passing second, Chloe is the only thing on my

    Agatha continued sobbing in Chloe's embrace. The news of her son's accident a while ago had shattered her world. The son she had raised with love and let go for the sake of his passion ended up like this. The last message she received on her phone informed her that Leonel was on his way back to New York City."Ma, please sit down. Let me get you something to drink," Chloe said, gently guiding the beloved woman to the chair she had been sitting in. Chris stood up and chose to talk with Robby about the latest news regarding Leonel."No need, Chloe," Agatha speak.Chloe looked at the woman with concern. Agatha Theodore had a condition that could quickly worsen upon hearing sudden news. Chloe hadn't forgotten how she had cared for Agatha when Mountain was in a critical condition some time ago.They held each other's hands."Have you been here all this time?" Agatha asked Chloe, who seemed lost in thought."Yes, Ma.""How is Leonel doing?"

    "Have Mama and Papa arrived yet?" Chloe asked when she returned to the corridor where they had met Chris. He was still sitting there, occasionally busy with his phone and engaged in a serious conversation."Not yet. They're still on their way."Chloe nodded in understanding. "Has Leonel... regained consciousness?" she asked cautiously. Her eyes glanced towards the open door. She felt there might be a visit from the medical team to reexamine Leonel's condition."He has."Chloe let out a slow breath. "But why are you here, Mr. Chris? Aren't you accompanying Leonel?""The medical team is observing Leonel's leg, Chloe. There's a significant fracture in his shin."The woman exclaimed in surprise. "Is it serious?""We'll wait for the doctor's update.""Will I be allowed to go in?"Chris looked at Chloe with a furrowed brow. "Are you kidding?

    "Good afternoon, Chloe. It's nice to see you again," Chris greeted Chloe, extending his hand with a smile. Relief appeared on Chris' face, knowing that Chloe was there. She still cared for him in some way. It was understandable, considering that in the past, Chris had always emphasized how lucky Leonel was to have a wife like Chloe.Even in the last moments before he handled their divorce, Chris had given Leonel a stern warning. Now, it had become a reality: Chloe couldn't be reached again by Leonel, no matter how hard he tried."I'm also glad to see you, Mr. Chris. How have you been?" Chloe replied politely, although she felt awkward meeting Chris before Darren. Nevertheless, she was happy to see Chris there. To see that Chris was in good health and vitality. They last met at the final trial that implicated Josh and Ester. After that, Chloe chose to distance herself from the Grisham family."By God's grace, I'm doing well." Chris smiled warmly.

    Chloe was still in Leonel's hospital room at that time. She felt touched by what her ex-husband said. It was clear that Leonel deeply regretted his past treatment of Chloe. Not only that, it was also evident that Leonel wanted to avoid repeating all the events and mistakes he had made if he returned to Chloe. The woman didn't say much about it. She could only stay silent while holding Leonel's hand.Leonel still refused to let go of Chloe's hand. He thought that he needed his mother to accompany him now. Leonel didn't care how much pain his whole body was in. All he wanted was Chloe's presence. Unbeknownst to him, Chloe had been by his side all along.The effect of medication or the result of the accident made him unfocused. Who knows."I'll call the doctor," Chloe said as she tried to release the grip of their hands, which had not loosened even a bit."Not now, Mom," Leonel mumbled softly. The man closed his eyes again with a grimacing face, trying to en

    Upon arriving at the hospital, Chloe hurriedly walked toward Leonel's ward. This time, she didn't want to leave Darren alone like when she first heard the news about Leonel. Although Darren was with her, Chloe realized that she had been neglecting Darren's presence. She didn't want Darren to feel that way again. She was in a state of panic when she found out about Leonel's accident.Darren and Chloe walked side by side toward Leonel's ward. When they arrived at the VVIP room, Chloe stopped in her tracks. Through the window, Chloe could see that Leonel was still unconscious. There were monitors and medical equipment on both sides of him, ensuring his condition was stable.Chloe leaned against the wall in the hospital. She wanted to go in but was concerned about disturbing Leonel."Do you want to go in?" Darren asked Chloe, who chose to remain silent after peaking at Leonel from the outside.Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Can I?"Darren nodded quickly. "I

    Chloe would go to the hospital whenever she had free time to check Leonel's condition. She was apprehensive about him after the accident. Leonel still hadn't regained consciousness. Agatha and Robby Grisham, who knew about their son's condition, looked incredibly sad. The worried expression was visible on their faces. Agatha didn't leave the hospital where Leonel was being treated. Agatha planned to transfer him to a much larger hospital with better facilities once he regained consciousness. However, she trusted the current doctors' treatment. She couldn't doubt them because Leonel's safety was in their hands. Of course, Leonel's skillful hands were also involved. Where else would their dexterity come from if not as a gift from God? Chloe felt guilty about Leonel. Many "what ifs" were swirling in her mind, but she couldn't do anything about it. Her decision regarding her feelings was already firm. What would become of her if she wavered and left a small opening for L
