Lahat ng Kabanata ng Heir of Revenge: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

"Sir," Biyan greets softly. He doesn't want to disturb his big boss for too long. Throughout his years of working here, he's avoided interacting with Sebastian. Not without reason, the guy has an aura that makes Biyan's confidence suddenly shrink. Even now, when Sebastian raises his gaze from the report he's reading.His gaze as sharp as an eagle's, ready to strike him down if he makes a mistake. Biyan nervously swallows."Starting today, Anne is in my office. Cleaning the 35th floor, Biyan. Also, place two others here to assist her."Biyan blinks slowly but doesn't dare voice his confusion. On the floor where all the directors of Group Azure are located, indeed two staff members are assigned to clean and ensure all the rooms are neat and tidy. But if three people are on this floor? Isn't that excessive?"Understood, Biyan?""Got it, sir," Biyan startles but quickly thinks about how to arrange his subordinates on each floor. Even though they've jus

"Sit down here, quick!"Fathia pouted again. "Next time, I'll ask Aunt Naomi to get a different cookie jar. You cheated.""You're quick with food problems. You're really slow with Clara issues.""Why, though?"Despite the teasing, Jess still recounted the conversation they had at the dining table. Fathia was hit with surprise. She hadn't expected that this time the conversation would be about her Aunt, Larasati."Do you know Aunt Laras? I mean, do you know her well?"Jess's answer to Fathia's question was a shake of the head. "I've never been close to Uncle Alef's family.""I think we really need to plan this out.""Oh my gosh, Jess. We're like detectives.""Hey! We need to. Clearly, we're in the middle of a tangled web. We're just starting to unravel it, and we're already feeling overwhelmed, right? If we don't make a plan and set goals, we won't get answers anytime soon.""How about the archives?"Jess sn

Fathia just chuckled. Her mind drifted back to her activities in her parents' room earlier in the afternoon. Nothing was strange there except she found a book that she thought belonged to her mother. It was inside a special safe where her mother's jewelry was neatly stored. She had trouble opening the combination lock after inserting the key. Many numbers were tried, and Fathia almost gave up.She chose to lie on her parents' large bed. She closed her eyes briefly, inhaling the scent of lilies that she liked. Ah... she liked lilies because her mother did too. It brought back many sweet memories between her and her mother."Mom, why do you like Lilies?" Fathia asked one time. At that moment, both of them were sitting in the garden beside the house. Many flowering plants were thriving thanks to her mother's care. Young Fathia was wearing a dress with lace accents at the chest. Her long straight hair was tied into two ponytails like rabbits, complete with ribbons. And not

As Jess finished her shower, Fathia patiently waited, gazing at a map and a notebook with her mother's name on the cover. Fathia admired the beautiful handwriting of her Mommy, silently praising it in her mind. She gently wiped away tears, imagining her mother's smile that was as warm as the sun. That comforting look that always filled Fathia with spirit when she felt overwhelmingly sad and alone back then. Suddenly, she reached for an old photo carefully tucked behind the portrait that always accompanied her.The photo of her mother and her uncle. Taken in 1982."What did you find, Fathia?" Jess asked softly, skillfully drying her wet hair. She had changed into more comfortable clothes, carrying the scent of eucalyptus oil from Jess. "My stomach feels a bit queasy. That's why I used eucalyptus oil. Aunt Naomi is taking a while, isn't she?" Jess explained, noticing Fathia's raised eyebrow and puzzled gaze."Ah, this... is what I was talking about earlier." Fathi

The little girl with doll-like eyes blinked slowly. She waited for her father to speak."Everyone here is like a monster. Ready to attack at any time. What you need to pay attention to are the monsters that only show on the surface. There's a monster waiting for us to lower our guard. Never let your guard down, Fathia. Remember this. Okay?"Fathia, who didn't quite understand her father's words at the time, simply nodded. Her young mind processed the fact that her uncle was a monster she needed to be cautious of. She couldn't let her guard down even for a second.It meant... she needed to suspect Alef Walker now. Which is why she had been trying to access the archives at Group Azure's office for the past week. Right, Jess mentioned they had a late shift. That meant she would have plenty of time to search. Or... if the opportunity arose again because sneaking into her father's office tonight was impossible. Too risky with Kenzo around. Why did that guy have to co
