"A big secret."Elena gave a brief overview of the video. She would send the file to her brother's email later."Besides, their wedding was decades ago. Of course Dad has forgotten. Grandpa is being ridiculous," Alan commented."Yeah, what else can we do? Keeping such a big secret must be done carefully. I'm just still wondering how Jennifer managed to get that flash drive." Elena rubbed her chin."She stole it from David." Brad suddenly interjected."Huh? So David got it first?" Elena exclaimed in surprise."More accurately, the flash drive was originally stolen by Matthew Patt from Mr. Alexander Pierce's office. David stole it after realizing its contents were crucial and could be used to threaten Nicklaus Hunter. Unfortunately, Jennifer ended up stealing it after eavesdropping on a phone conversation between David and Nicklaus," Brad continued."Ah, it seems Jennifer also intended to threaten David with that flash drive. Unfortunately, she's already dead," Alan muttered. "No wond
It had been months since Elena had set foot in the company that was now officially hers. Fortunately, Alan was not a greedy or spiteful man. Of course, her brother had received a larger share in eMark."Good morning, Mrs. Elena," a receptionist greeted politely with a smile.Elena stopped in her tracks when she saw a familiar-looking man sitting on the sofa reserved for guests. Her brows furrowed. She turned to the receptionist, who immediately understood. “He is Mr. Nicklaus Hunter’s bodyguard, Mrs. Elena,” the receptionist explained. “Why is he here?” Her mood suddenly worsened. Hearing that the old monster was at her company made her furious. "He has business with Mr. Alan regarding Greenlake's expansion into various countries in Asia and Europe." This time, one of Elena's eyebrows raised. She snorted sarcastically. Greenlake hadn't opened branches in Asian and European countries like Jepson Group and other companies because her grandfather hadn't planned to go that far yet
"The safe code is Elena's GPA and Amelia and Edward's wedding date." Suddenly, Alexander burst out laughing. "Whoever stole this video, you can only bite your fingers. You don't even know where the safe is."Alexander's laughter completely disappeared, replaced by a serious and cold expression."For Nicklaus Hunter, I have a weapon to bring you down. That weapon will destroy you if this video falls into my granddaughter's hands. If my granddaughter finds out, it means you're still causing trouble. Why don't you just let go of your irrational grudge? You're old now, and you've already killed Victoria. Are you holding a grudge because you couldn't have a child with her like I did with Eliot?"Alexander leaned back in his chair, his eyes still fixed on the camera."For Eliot Jepson, I’m sure you won’t interfere with my grandchildren’s affairs. After all, Amelia and Talia are sisters, aren’t they? Alan and Elena are your grandson Gavra Jepson’s cousins. But remember, my grandchildren are
"Hello, children. If you are watching this video, perhaps I am no longer with you. Please forgive me for dragging you into our problems. It should have ended with me. But it turns out that the three of us were too selfish."Alexander Pierce bowed his head, looking gloomy."If you find this video, perhaps the grudges of the past are still burning. Know that the three of us were actually friends. Me, Nicklaus Hunter, and Eliot Jepson. We were such solid and inseparable friends."Elena listened intently to every word her grandfather spoke. The series of problems she was facing made her both sad and curious.Her grandfather explained that the three friends had started a business while they were still in college. The business operated in the field of online transfer and payment services.Alexander acted as the investor and the one who came up with the idea, Nicklaus Hunter designed the website and the product system, while Eliot Jepson served as the salesperson. He pitched their products t
"Who's there?"Elena startled when she heard her husband's voice. She had just been dreaming about Jennifer lying lifeless, and suddenly a group of men had carried her body away."Mr. Edward Brown, sir."Only when she heard her father's name mentioned did the remaining drowsiness vanish. It was replaced by overwhelming enthusiasm."My father is visiting here?" Elena exclaimed joyfully, unable to hide her excitement.Jack laughed at her childlike behavior. "Hurry, hurry! I miss my father so much," she urged, holding onto the door handle."Be patient. Remember, you're pregnant!" Jack warned as the car stopped in front of the mansion.Elena immediately opened the car door and walked quickly, so much so that Robert, who was greeting her at the door, was completely taken aback. "Dad! Dad, I'm home!" Elena shouted as loud as she could. Jack and Robert could only grimace behind Elena. "Dad!" Elena jumped into the arms of the man she had missed so much after months of not seeing him.
Jack devoured the ice cream cone in his hand. He occasionally groaned when the cold touched his throat."I really hate ice cream. God, but this ice cream is really delicious. Why did ice cream suddenly become delicious?" he said before putting the ice cream back into his mouth. "I hate ice cream."He didn't notice Brad staring at him with his mouth hanging open like an idiot."Close your mouth before a bug flies in," Anne scolded, enjoying her fried chicken as if it were the first time she'd ever tasted it.Hearing that, Brad immediately closed his mouth. "But he's already eaten three ice creams. Why is he acting so weird all of a sudden?" "Aahhh, so delicious. Now my stomach is really hungry." This time, Jack devoured the crispy fried chicken and occasionally flaunted it to Brad. Instead of wanting to eat, the man just made a disgusted face. "What happened to him? What did you do to him? Does your house have a virus? Oh, I just remembered that it's your house," Brad demanded of
