Late at night, music was blasting in a bar filled with neon lights.

Lust was looming in the air in a VIP room. After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the room was at its peak.

A man was sitting on the couch in the middle. He clearly didn't fit in with the surroundings.

He had a glass of whiskey in his hands. He had only drunk half of it. He was swirling the glass, letting the ice melt.

At this moment, the doors to the room opened.

One of the intoxicated men was immediately unhappy. "W-Who would be so rude to intrude on Cory's gathering?"

Even if the lights were dim and he couldn't see the man's face, Cory could immediately recognize Stephen's figure.

He finally had a gleam in his eyes. Stephen would only be here because he had already found out about something.

Cory said nothing, so the others didn't dare to move. They stood in the spot, watching as Stephen walked toward Cory. Stephen stopped right in front of the coffee table.

Stephen could finally have a good look a

    Cory was a little surprised. He furrowed his brows. "Is that it?""Yes. What you want to do is your choice," Stephen said calmly."Besides, I didn't help you the other night because I wanted you to repay the favor. It was a one-time thing, and we had only just met. I'm meeting you today because I wanted to know who has been helping me."Stephen paused for a while. There was a smile in his tone. "I'm quite surprised that you were honest with me."Cory was silent. He clearly hadn't expected Stephen to respond like this. He thought Stephen would get angry or try to stop him from helping Mark. On the contrary, not only was Stephen not angry, but he was a little excited as well.Stephen wasn't like any other enemies that Cory had encountered before. Somehow, Cory got a little excited as well.He knew that this was an understanding between powerful men.He smirked, and his eyes gleamed manically. "Great. It's much more interesting to be enemies with you than to be friends.""I ho

    Mark had initially wanted to question Cory about it, but the moment he saw Stephen coming out of the bar, he had his answer.Thus, Mark left without looking back. There was no need to talk to Cory anymore.On the way back, Mark was fuming. The moment he entered his place, he kicked the door.Anger was raging violently in his heart. He smashed everything around him to the floor. That was still not enough to release his anger!It turned out that Cory hadn't had a sudden change of heart that night. He had long been in cahoots with Stephen!From the beginning, Cory hadn't on his side at all!The truth that night was that everyone had joined up and treated him like a fool!Mark had been so stupid that he had trusted Cory once more! He had thought that Cory would help him get everything back!The more he thought, the more he lost it. Without realizing it, his hands were covered in blood. In the end, he punched the wall hard, leaving a fresh, bloody handprint.Mark's bloodshot eyes w

    The moment the car stopped at the mansion and Cory got out of the car, a figure appeared out of nowhere.Out of reflex, Cory grabbed the person's wrist and pinned them to the car. His eyes gleamed murderously."It's me … Mr. Sloan." Jane looked frail. Even her tone was feeble. The pain in her wrist caused her to pale a little more.Cory furrowed his brows and asked coldly, "What do you want?""I-I've been trying to thank you in person, but Benji said you wouldn't see me."Jane furrowed her brows. She tried to turn around to look at Cory. "I heard that it's your birthday today."Under the moonlight, Jane's skin glowed like porcelain. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was gorgeous. Extremely gorgeous.Cory's gaze darkened, and he let her go. He asked in annoyance, "Where did you hear that from?"Jane clutched her wrist and turned around. She leaned against the car to support herself. "I overheard the housekeepers talking."Seeing Cory's face, Jane was a little unsure of herself.

    Over at Hope Health Services, Yvonne had just received Stephen's call.Stephen had filled her in on what had happened at the bar."Should I have dealt with Cory on the spot?" Stephen asked pensively.Yvonne smiled. "You were in his territory. If you had gone up against him on the spot, that would have been asking for death. But Cory is an honorable man. He even told you about his plan to help Mark."Just from that alone, Yvonne felt that if Cory wasn't her enemy, he would be a great friend.After all, not many people in his line would dare to be so open.If it had been her in Stephen's shoes that night, she would have done the same thing as him too. Yvonne sighed. "It's too bad that we can only be enemies with him. If Mark gets his help, he would be much harder to deal with."Stephen hummed and fell into thought for a while. "Cory and Kendrick are mortal enemies. And now Cory is on Mark's side. Kendrick is fully on our side too. Let him deal with Cory.""Yes." Yvonne smiled.

    It was still in the middle of the night when Stephen and Neil rushed over to the mines. They could see a raging fire from afar.As the car approached, the hot air washed over them.Stephen got out of the car and saw Cory standing nearby. His frosty air cut through the hot air. It was rather attention-grabbing.Stephen walked over to him. "What's the situation like?"Cory didn't look back. He was still looking at the entrance of the mine that was caught in flames.The firefighters looked like ants in comparison to the huge flame. It seemed as if they could be swallowed by the flames at any moment.Cory's gaze was darkened. When Stephen was finally next to him, he said coldly, "It smells of explosives."Stephen looked where Cory was looking. His expression turned grim too. "Are you sure it was done by someone?""Hmm. No one is more familiar with the smell of explosives than I am." Cory's gaze sharpened. "That person sure is gutsy. How dare they touch the mines I'm watching over

    Cory turned around to meet Mark's gaze. Somehow, he felt provoked, and he was instantly annoyed."Why did you do it?" Cory asked icily."Have I not made myself clear enough?" Mark walked over to Cory. Although his leg was hurt, he still looked domineering.The two of them were at a standoff. The atmosphere was so tense that the others didn't dare to move or even breathe."My men told me that someone has been stealing businesses around here." Mark sneered. "If I don't teach them a lesson, how can my company continue operating? How can I give my men an explanation?"Cory's gaze darkened. "Don't beat around the bush. Tell me the truth. Do you know who it is?""What?" Mark raised an eyebrow. "Are you finally going to explain yourself?"Cory was silent. He didn't know much about the man in front of him, even though they were partners.At that moment, he realized that Mark was extremely scheming. His cruelty and maliciousness oozed from every pore of his skin. He was born with it.

    Just as Stephen had predicted, Cory didn't capture the person behind the explosion. Instead, he dealt with it as if it were an accident.It was too bad they were in Cory's territory. Going up against him directly would only be disadvantageous to Stephen.That was also why Stephen had never considered capturing Mark from right under Cory's nose. But he was also a little reluctant to let Mark go just like that. Hence, he had been sulking around for the past few days.Julian thought that Stephen was worried about the explosion, so he tried to console him. "Mr. Anderson, no one expected the accident to happen. Most of it has already been handled. Don't think too much about it. Besides, it's just a mine. It's nothing too serious—""Announce the establishment of the subsidiary company."Julian was a little baffled. "What?""Since he already knows about the new company, there's no point in hiding it any longer." Stephen looked at the blue sky outside the window. He narrowed his ga

    A week later, Anderson Group announced its new subsidiary abroad and the news that it was officially going into the metallurgy industry. They also held a signing ceremony, where Stephen and Neil signed a contract to mark their partnership.Neil's company had always been one of the leading companies in the metallurgy industry. Now that they had become Anderson Group's new subsidiary's first partner, their fame shot through the roof. The business community couldn't help but think of this collaboration as a complete win-win situation. With this new partnership, it also seemed likely that the metallurgy industry's international dynamics would change once more.At that moment, the signing ceremony had just come to an end. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was congratulating Neil.Neil was so thrilled that he was glowing. He seemed to have regressed in age and looked ten years younger."Thank you for coming today, everyone. This is the happiest day of my life. I would like to

The entire Carrington family had been celebrating.They had doted on Mark and taken him wherever they went.That day, they had headed out. Before they'd known it, Mark had been taken away.Just when Daniel and Katherine had been on the brink of losing it, they had received a call from the kidnapper to bring the ransom to a specific spot.They had gotten the money and driven there without any hesitation. No one had thought that they would ever return after that. Even Mark had disappeared.When Agatha finished recounting this, her cup of tea had already cooled.She wiped her tears away. She said through a catch in her throat, "Katherine was hugging the bag of money tightly until the moment she passed away, as though she were hugging you."Mark furrowed his brows. Now that he'd heard the truth about Daniel and Katherine, he should have felt pain

    As Yvonne left the room, she could tell that Stephen's mood was much better.She looked at him. "Are you thinking of something nice?""No." Stephen looked at Yvonne with a rare twinkle in his eyes."Let me take you to breakfast." Before Yvonne could respond, he took her hand and led her to the elevator.Thinking about how he'd stood outside her room the entire night, Yvonne decided to let him hold her hand.Then, her thoughts drifted to Otto. Somehow, she had a bad feeling.…At the same time, Mark was in the courtyard of Carrington Mansion. He sat next to Agatha and poured some tea for her.He handed her a cup of hot tea. "Great-Grandma, try this."When he noticed that Agatha had no reaction, he called out to her once more. "Great-Grandma?""Huh?" Agatha came to her senses. She looked at Mark in confusion. "What is it?""You've been distracted since yesterday. Are you thinking of something?" Mark asked.Agatha shook her head. "Nothing." Then, she picked up her teacup and

    Yvonne stood by the door of the bedroom and looked at Otto, who was looking out of the window in a daze on the bed.The sun shone on his face. He looked quite hungover and had a sickly pale face.Yvonne hesitated for a while before saying gently, "Mrs. Jenner called me last night. She's worried about you."Otto didn't respond.Yvonne went in closer and added, "She said that you called her and asked about your father. She found it strange."Mr. Carrington, why did you suddenly think about your father? Did Mrs. Carrington Senior bring him up yesterday?"All Yvonne got was silence.Luckily, she was patient. She sat on the couch and followed Otto's line of sight. Tiny dust particles were floating among the sunbeams. Yvonne also fell into a daze as she watched them float about.Suddenly, Otto asked, "Have you ever felt like your world was falling apart?""Hmm?" Yvonne was confused. "For example?""I mean, like the person that you trust turns out to be different from what you'd t

    The next morning, Yvonne opened her door to see Stephen standing outside. She was caught off guard."What is wrong with you this morning? Why didn't you knock…"While talking, Yvonne noticed that Stephen was still wearing the same clothes as the night before. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't leave last night? Have you been standing outside this door all this while?""Hmm." Stephen looked at Yvonne intently. "I thought you would've figured it out quickly."Yvonne was speechless, but she thought to herself that she'd slept like a baby the night before.She smiled at him. "Figure what out?" She noticed Stephen frowning as though he were on the brink of losing his temper.She quickly added, "I-I mean, you have to give me a hint, right? I've thought about it the entire night, but I still don't understand. My brain isn't functioning well."Stephen asked suspiciously, "You've been thinking about it the entire night?""Yes, which is why I didn't look for yo

    "If I hadn't come to find you tonight, you probably wouldn't tell me anything about what happened tonight, would you?" Stephen asked in retort.It wasn't a big deal, as long as they returned safely. Yvonne wondered why she needed to report this to him.But she still smiled. "It's late. How could I disrupt your rest? It would've been the same if I told you about it tomorrow morning, right?"Stephen sniggered. "Yvonne, you still don't know where you've gone wrong."He suddenly went in closer to her. Yvonne instinctively retreated until her back was up against the wall. She glared at him."What on earth is wrong with you? I've already said that I would've told you tomorrow morning—"A punch went past Yvonne and landed brutally on the wall.Yvonne was a little stunned. She looked into Stephen's eyes and furrowed her brows. "Stephen, I don't want to quarrel with you for no reason. "Mrs. Carrington Senior went to look for Otto today. Calbert couldn't reach him the entire day, so he

    Jane returned to the private room, distracted.She sat down next to Cory. She looked at him as he reached his hand out to her in confusion.Cory furrowed his brows and asked unhappily, "Where's the wine?""Wine… Yes! Wine!" Jane came to her senses. She was just about to get up when Cory pulled her back.He grabbed her by her chin and forced her to look at him. "What happened when you went out?""N-Nothing."Cory tightened his grip. Jane furrowed her brows in pain. "I-I… I saw Yvonne. She told me that she and Stephen got remarried.""What?" Cory relaxed his grip a little. "They got remarried?""Hmm.""So, what?" He had no intention of letting her go, and he looked at her sharply. "Does it bother you so much that Stephen got remarried?"Jane looked at Cory frantically. "Cory, what do you mean by that?""What do I mean? You know what I mean."Cory went in closer. His tone turned icy. "You used to pursue Stephen. Now that you know he's gotten married, you're in this shitty mood

    Yvonne turned around to see Jane smiling at her ambiguously. She furrowed her brows. How were they always bumping into each other?Jane crossed her hands in front of her chest and leaned against the wall. She swept her gaze at Calbert and Otto. "Two guys and one woman. You sure know how to have fun!"Calbert instantly snapped, "What the hell are you talking about?""Why are you being so fierce? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jane snickered. "Two guys and a woman came out of a private room in the middle of the night. Anyone would come to the same conclusion. We're all adults. There's no need to pretend to be innocent.""You—" Calbert was about to go up to Jane, but Yvonne stopped him."Since Ms. Ford is here, I'm guessing so is Cory?" Yvonne smiled, yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. "If you cause a scene here and this bar gets raided, guess who'll be the ones walking out here alive?"Jane's expression turned ugly. "Are you threatening me?""It's just a kind reminder." Yvon

    Calbert and Yvonne managed to track Otto's car to a bar, thanks to the information they'd gotten from his staff. Otto's car was right outside the bar.Calbert looked at the neon sign and furrowed his brows. "Why is Otto here? Did what Mrs. Carrington Senior said really hit him so badly that he has to drown himself in alcohol?"Yvonne said nothing and headed directly inside the bar."Wait up for me!" Calbert went after her. He subconsciously protected her from all the drunk patrons.The lighting in the bar was dim. Many of the patrons were drunk and having fun.Yvonne and Calbert walked around the booth area, but Otto was nowhere to be found. They pulled a server over to ask if there was a patron by the name of Otto Carrington who had reserved a private room.Coincidentally, the server had just taken two bottles of wine to Otto's room. So, he led them to the private room.Calbert tipped the server before opening the door and entering. The entire room reeked of alcohol.He looked

    After Agatha left, Otto stood in the same spot without moving.A long time later, Zac entered the office. He looked at Otto's back and asked quietly, "Mr. Carrington, will you still see the client?""No." Otto sounded heartbroken.Zac didn't dare ask further questions. He gently closed the door and reminded the secretary that no one was to disturb Otto.In the office, Otto was alone. He slowly walked over to the couch and slumped into it. His mind was in a mess."Alexander was the one who planned the kidnapping back then."Agatha's words rang in his mind for a long time.Alexander's young face appeared in Otto's mind, smiling at him affectionately."Otto! Amazing! Yes! Just like that!""You're amazing at badminton! You're going to make the country proud! I'm going to be so proud of you!""Otto, my son!"Memories of his interactions with Alexander flashed across his mind at that moment.Otto couldn't imagine that such a loving father would do such an absurd thing.
