Eugene parked the car near the Yoon's mansion. Now all that's left is to send the young lady inside her house. However, Eugene isn't sure if bringing the drunk Almond while he's carrying her in his arms is a good idea. He can say that he's Joshua's assistant and he was commanded to bring her home. However, he doesn't want to taint the lady's reputation.
In the eyes of their maids and the butlers who will see the scene, they'll assume that the two have special relationship with each other. It doesn't feel bad to partner with a gorgeous woman. But still, Eugene wanted to respect Almond's privacy.
So he stayed inside the car with Almond sleeping at the back seat. After a few hours…
"Who are you?"
A threatening question and a sharp blade on his neck greeted the gentleman. As if sulking, Eugene pouted his soft lips. "Hey, is this is how you repay someone who helped you many times?"

Jeonghan'sPOV I've been contacting Joshua since an hour ago but he's not answering. If father decided to reveal Celine's identity to everyone, then it's only a matter of time before the organization will try to attack not just Seungcheol and I, but also the traitor's daughter. "What? Joshua is not here?" I asked to the maid who's working at Hong residence. The second place that I checked is his hotel. However, I was told that Joshua went out to meet a very important guest. "Fuck! Why is it so hard to find you today?!" I slammed the steering wheel as I drive in the long high way. Stretching my strained neck, I loosened my red necktie with my left hand. My elbow leaned on the windowsill and I pressed my index finger at the seam of my lips. I did consider contacting Seungcheol, but I'm h
Who fooled who? Wonwoo concluded that his father, Fredd, actually knew their scheme from the very beginning. And even if it's him who should feel guilty for lying to his father, Wonwoo considered himself as the victim. However, is it really the real case? Apparently, it's not. Fredd did believe at first that Celine is his daughter. He was so sure he found his daughter from wedlock not until Harvhey came to him and confessed: [“Celine is not your child. She is my former right hand's daughter. So don't blame the kids. They did it because she had no choice.”] Actually, even if Harvhey won't ask Fredd's understanding in this case, he won't feel bad over the kids' lies. She is the child of Harvhey's right hand and so, there's more reason to keep Celine by their side. Because she's a friend's child. And that friend was Fredd's closest buddy duri
Joshua and Celine are inside his unmoving car. No one was asking, but Joshua boasted, "My car is sound proof," to the person sitting at the passenger seat without her seat belton. The reason Celine didn't ask a thing about why Joshua pulled her inside his car instead of talking in the Jeon's mansion is pretty clear to her. Wonwoo installed audio bugs around the area and so it'll be hard to make sure her conversation with Joshua will remain confidential. She's aware of that, indeed. However, Celine felt uncomfortable being alone with Joshua in a narrow place. Casual question might help to set up the mood, therefore, Celine began, "You're alone? Where is your tall assistant?" Joshua understood her intention of asking. Still, nothing is wrong with suspecting your own sagacity or conclusion even just a bit. He made an expression that's either sad or happy before he retorted, "Why are you lo
Midnight comes as perfect black, the true companion of every good night. It deepens over a broad and starlight sky, a sweet embrace and a fresh chance to dream anew. That was the time when Joshua Hong arrived at the Hong residence. He didn't had the chance to go back at his hotel and get his cellphone. Joshua just went straight home after meeting Celine in Jeon's mansion. As he stepped at the entrance, the butler assisted him by holding his jacket. He looked around the quiet place where he can't even feel any presence from anyone besides the butler and the maid who greeted him at the entrance. Even the sound of wind won't be able to hear from inside as if every windows were blocked and people were asked to stay quiet as much as possible. 'It's midnight,'Joshua reasoned out with a sigh. His emotions were overflowing just a moment ago when he was with Celine. But now that he came back, he felt empty again. It seemed he's wal
Murgine isn't sure if his conversation with Almond was heard by Joshua who happened to be at bar last night. He can't just persuade himself that Joshua did not because the information he received is something that might change the succession of the clans in the future. 'If Joshua treasures his friends, the second and third heirs, then he'll do anything to keep the secret away from everyone,' Murgine hypothesized. Although Murgine is a skilled fighter, Joshua's new right hand is undeniably better than him. He won't deny the fact since he personally went against of Eugene in the paintball game. And so, if Joshua desires to kill Murgine right at that moment, it is not impossible even if the opponent is the son of a higher rank member from Choi clan. "But he let me go." Since that night, Murgine stayed indoor. He thinks he's stepping towards his death if he comes outside. And ev
The 10 year old Vernon went out of their house to play soccer with his friends. While they were playing, the ball went to the little girl who's sitting on the mushroom shape bench near the fountain. The girl has black bob cut hair that is as dark as night. Her skin is pale as if a little scratch would tear her flesh. Her eyes became a shade lighter, twinkling under the sunlight. She's cute, enough to gather the attention of the boys who are near to their adolescent stage. One of them was Vernon who couldn't keep his eyes off her, not because he's attracted, but because he noticed how lifeless the girl's expressions were. 'She's like a doll,'he commented inwardly. Like a literal doll, the girl was sitting without moving or changing the direction of her eyes. If she wasn't blinking, everyone might think she's really a doll which happened to look so realistic. "Who's that?" Ver
According from Woozi's report, he found drugs at the Governor's mansion. Not only he had the lists of the transactions but also, he discovered a secret room inside the hidden space. "It looks like a lab where they make the drugs. But it's weird that there's no one inside that room. Well, it's fortunate for me. Anyway, I took pictures of the data analysis that I saw in the lab. I sent it to your email," Woozi reported to Joshua a few days ago. Alone in the office at the Hong's mansion, Joshua is carefully evaluating each pictures Woozi had sent. The main ingredients of the drug is indeed the Kentoki flower. However, results differ every time the amount of Kentoki was either decreased or increased. Looking at the data results which have "Failed" labels at the bottom, he realized that they were experimenting the product into something that far from the medicine he took during Mr. Chwe's birthday party. The opponents a
Vernon ordered a 12 full meal course for everyone. From hors's d'oeuvere, amuse-bouche, soup, appetizer, salad, fish, first main course, plate cleanser, second main course, cheese course, dessert and to mignardise, everything that was served was fascinating. No doubt why customers rated 9.9 star out of 10 for the restaurant. Whenever Celine watches dining in an expensive restaurant scenes in any movies or series, she thought it'll always be majestic. But she realized that no matter how expensive or tasty the foods are, it still depend on whom you're eating with. Celine looked at the man sitting across her seat. Seungcheol took a little bite from the creamy pastry dessert, Cream Brulee. He looks very calm and so Celine thought he haven't heard that the second leader already found out her identity. She's aware she's also at fault for hiding the case, because she guessed how he'll react and she doesn't want him to act restlessly. Neverthele
