Chapter 71

Charlotte slammed the car door, followed by Catherine and Svarga running behind her. They hurried together towards the ambulance that was loading a body into the vehicle."Wait a minute!" Charlotte shouted, her chest pounding; she felt weak and almost fell. Luckily, Catherine caught her."I'll do it," Svarga said, then asked for permission from the medical personnel. His hand trembled violently as he touched the edge of the blood-stained white cloth and slowly uncovered it.Charlotte screamed hysterically, and together with Catherine, they cried and embraced each other.What was supposed to be a solemn, peaceful, and laughter-filled dinner turned into a tragedy and disaster for their family. The number that had been repeatedly calling Catherine belonged to a civilian and a police officer, trying to inform her that a man had been found lifeless on the side of the road.That man was the driver of Charlotte's car, who had replaced a flat tire just hours before. He was found dead a few me

Chapter 72

Svarga wanted to discuss what one of his employees had mentioned in the car earlier to Catherine, but he was afraid of worrying his wife.Lately, Catherine has been visibly anxious about Charlotte's social circles. He had also overheard his wife forbidding Charlotte from spending too much time with Keanu."This is too sensitive, I'm worried about Catherine—""What are you worried about?" Catherine asked as she caught her husband monologuing just as she opened the bathroom door.Svarga shook his head, giving a faint smile and hugging his wife. "It's nothing.""Don't lie, Svarga. Are you still hiding important things from me?" Catherine pouted."There's nothing, nothing at all that I'm hiding. Trust me."Catherine sighed; after 20 years of marriage, she had always trusted her husband. "There's a lot on my mind, to the point I'm even considering transferring Charlotte to the branch office in the Netherlands, so she can be closer to Jarvey."Svarga frowned slightly. "Why so suddenly?""I

Chapter 73

Liam toured the company accompanied by Charlotte. The woman introduced him to several areas of the company that she had revamped since joining it. Starting with the production factory, whose building stretched widely behind the main office, she showed him the processes from production to finishing."The last time I visited here was five years ago. Sometimes I stop by, but not to look inside," said Liam."In that case, Uncle, you must see everything." Charlotte took his hand and pulled him along to the graphic design room.People who already knew Liam warmly greeted and treated him respectfully, like employees welcoming a long-time senior. Charlotte informed Zakaria that Liam would be helping guide their new project. Zakaria felt delighted to have a senior helping out, especially since this large project required a large workforce and resources."In that case, let me introduce the team to you," said Zakaria."With pleasure," Liam responded, genuinely eager to come face-to-face with the

"I was the one who called you," Liam said, showing a pen that belonged to Keanu, which he had accidentally kept in his suit pocket."This is yours, right?"Keanu nodded and then took the pen from Liam's hand. "Thank you. In that case, I'll excuse myself," he said as he prepared to leave.Charlotte watched the man, feeling like a stranger had joined her project team. "Sit down first; you're here for a reason. You look strange and confused. Sit down, Keanu," she instructed.Keanu's eyes met Charlotte's, and then he glanced at Jarvey before sitting beside Liam."Would you like something to drink?" Liam asked."Nothing," Keanu replied. "I came here because Mr. Zakaria said that Charlotte was looking for me, but you called me because I left my pen behind.""Alright, Keanu, in that case..." Charlotte shifted her tone to ease the awkwardness."Let me introduce him. This is my boyfriend, his name is Jarvey. And Jarvey, this is Keanu, my former college friend."Jarvey snapped his fingers. "Ah,

The plate in Catherine's hands almost slipped, but she managed to steady herself and adjust her expression to remain calm and composed. She smiled naturally, then slowly placed the plate on the table. She walked toward Charlotte, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Keanu's figure, who looked no different from her late ex-husband in his youth."Welcome," Catherine greeted wisely.Keanu stood stiffly, feeling a connection to the woman. For some reason, he had the urge to hug her right now. He bowed briefly, his movements rigid. "Good evening, Ma'am." He glanced at Svarga and greeted him as well."Come on, sit down and have dinner," Catherine invited.Keanu, with Jarvey's assistance, sat beside him. Catherine served food onto their plates, and they began to eat dinner."Charlotte didn't tell me she was inviting a friend," Catherine said.Keanu couldn't respond; his lips seemed sealed."I invited him spontaneously. It's his punishment," Charlotte said."You! Who punishes someone by inviting t

Charlotte put her clothes back on, feeling somewhat annoyed with Jarvey's behaviour, but she was too tired to demand an explanation for why her boyfriend had just left when things were starting to get intimate. She adjusted her pillow and pulled the blanket over herself, deciding to sleep now while waiting for Jarvey to come home.However, just as she was about to close her eyes, her phone rang, and Jarvey sent her a message."I'm at your Uncle Liam's house. I promise I'll be home before midnight. I'm sorry. I love you, Charlotte."***"This is the file you can study. I managed to get some copies of past cases that have been resolved, and I think there's no need to bring them up again," Liam said as he handed two stacks of folders to Jarvey."Where did you get them?" Jarvey asked."Catherine used to have someone hiding behind an anonymous account, and that person helped uncover the criminal case that led to Keanu's father and his mistress being sentenced to death, while Arsila was sen

Chapter 77

After a long and pleasurable night that added to Charlotte's worries, the woman daydreamed more than getting any work done. Her secretary came into the room several times, but she just sat there, listening to the person's words with a blank mind.A soft sigh escaped her lips as Charlotte made herself a cup of coffee to shake off the sudden drowsiness that hit her. She felt anxious, wondering whether she might be pregnant. Her calendar didn't show that she was in her fertile period, but what Jarvey did last night made her heart race.His touch drove her wild, and Charlotte couldn't resist when they repeated the act until three in the morning, and of course... without protection."He loves me, right? What's wrong if I get pregnant? Sooner or later, we'll be married," Charlotte muttered.A knock on the door interrupted her concentration. Shortly after, Zakaria appeared in the doorway with Keanu. "Good afternoon, Miss," Zakaria greeted as he entered, with Keanu following behind."Here is

"Are you okay?" asked Svarga.Charlotte nodded."How could the CCTV cameras in a supermarket that big not recognize the face of a petty criminal like this," Svarga growled."It means the perpetrator isn't new to this kind of thing. Maybe they've committed crimes before. They were very careful to cover their tracks," said Jarvey."I agree with you; you probably know much more about legal matters and crimes like this.""Enough... I want to rest. I don't want to think about anything other than my health," Charlotte complained.Svarga helped pull the blanket up, then turned off the bedroom lights and left the room with Jarvey.Charlotte didn't want to sleep; she opened her eyes when the two men left. She then took out her phone to review the CCTV footage of the incident. She wanted to make sure that what she saw wasn't a mistake so that she could take legal action against the person who deliberately hurt her if she had enough evidence."A black umbrella with a golden yellow handle, a whit

Chapter 79

Charlotte’s condition is slowly improving after the doctor on duty at her home checked on her throughout the night. Today, she tried pushing herself to work, but Catherine firmly forbade her. She asked her daughter to rest until they received the latest news from the police handling her unresolved case.“I have a lot of work, Mom,” said Charlotte.“Your safety is far more important than anything else. You don’t need to worry about work. Liam will help you, and I trust him.”Charlotte sighed in resignation, unable to argue when Catherine had spoken. Regarding her unresolved case, she requested to stop the investigation because she already had her answers and was confident in her suspicions. About Keanu’s mother, the dog-head keychain, and its connection to the St. Casso police department logo.Her suspicions grew stronger, remembering that the woman was a former prisoner and might have spent her last years in the St. Casso police department’s prison before eventually being released.“I

Chapter 80

“Hey, are you okay?” Noah, a senior in the graphic design division, asked Keanu while gently patting him on the shoulder.Keanu snapped out of his thoughts and nodded.“Hey, you’ve got a lot of work, Keanu Hart! Stop slacking off!” Noah teased, placing a pile of sketches near Keanu’s desk before walking away.Keanu sighed, stood up, and took out his inhaler from his bag. He walked weakly and somewhat dazed toward the bathroom at the end of the corridor, then collapsed onto a seat in one of the stalls. He took a deep breath with the aid of the inhaler and closed his eyes for a moment.The young man didn’t have any serious illness, but sometimes, he relied on the inhaler when he needed an extra breath. Every time he faced difficult times, he would need it, especially after last night when he had an argument with Karletta, who insisted on attending the audition for new models at Glass Glory.Keanu could still recall Arsila’s ambition, which she had passed on to Karletta, about the status
