Chapter 6

ผู้เขียน: Evil SIL
I watched Ruth's and the shaman's horrified expressions, then stated calmly, "You've truly gone to such lengths for Ruby, Ms. Gibson. Do you have any idea what that genius sister of yours was like before her death, though?"

Ruth's expression instantly turned grim. "What do you mean by that?"

I casually adjusted my collar and replied, "It's nothing. I just find it profoundly sad that you would drive yourself insane over someone who isn't worth the trouble."

I didn't give her a chance to respond. I simply turned and walked away. I was just about to be intercepted by the bodyguards, but Ruth stopped them with one commanding glare.

I mused that she probably realized that brute force wouldn't work on me. I also knew that my remarks had clearly struck home, leaving a searing seed of doubt in her heart.

Thomas stared at my retreating figure in disbelief and howled, "You can't let him go! He's going to expose everything! You have to take him out! You have to kill him now!"

  • My Best Friend Chose the CEO Over His Career   Chapter 8

    In that instant, with Ruth's psyche collapsing, the Gibson family's deepest, darkest secrets came pouring out. She frantically incriminated everyone, motivated by a need for revenge and the promise of a lighter sentence. She took down every accomplice and accessory, ensuring no one escaped the consequences. In the end, the judgment was delivered. Miranda and Ruth were convicted on all counts, sentenced concurrently to life behind bars. Those remaining co-conspirators in the Gibson family received appropriate punishments for their actions.In the aftermath, the Gibson family, which had once commanded all the levers of power in Belleros, was annihilated and disappeared without a trace.Thomas, having been contaminated by the dark arts over time, finally succumbed to an irreversible mental collapse and was placed in a mental institution.I paid him a visit once. I saw him through the thick pane of glass, where he was curled up in a corner while dressed in a blue-and-white striped pat

    Having received the report, the police acted without delay, quickly initiating a formal investigation. Through the surveillance footage and overnight interrogations of the two intruders, the trail led straight to their employer—the head of security at Zenith Group.They were immediately dumbfounded upon learning who was behind it. It was a case of corruption in their own ranks—the very people entrusted with the company's safety were double-crossing them.Their investigation results provided them with the perfect legal grounds to launch a much deeper probe, granting them official access to Zenith Group's premises.I dispatched another long-planned surprise at the very same time the authorities stepped into Zenith Group Tower. I anonymously reached out to some of the country's top investigative journalists with a bombshell. "Zenith Group's CEO, Ruth Gibson, is allegedly involved in illegal imprisonment, holding several young men captive at a family estate for purposes of divinatio

    It was two days later, and I was in my office reviewing files for a major acquisition when Emma suddenly called me. Her voice sounded noticeably grimmer as she said, "There are two men in the lobby asking for you, Calvin. They claim they were sent by Ms. Gibson." "Got it, Ms. Judd," I said as I calmly closed the files. I knew that the moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived.There were two men in black suits standing at the company reception in the lobby, drawing murmurs from everyone around. Then, one of them walked up to me and nodded courteously, saying, "Ms. Gibson requests your presence, Mr. Jenner.""Got it," I said as I calmly picked up my coat and went with them, showing no opposition.I was driven straight back to the Gibson residence on the outskirts of Belleros. There, I was led into a hidden chamber tucked behind an artificial rockery instead of the banquet hall I had been taken to last time. It was a terrifying, windowless space, with black tapestries cove

    Thomas' smile immediately faltered, his complexion turning ashen. He then asked with a voice trembling with fear, "W-What's going on here, Ruth? Who is that woman?"Ruth approached Thomas, fixing him with a frigid gaze. "That's my twin sister, Ruby Gibson, who died in a car crash last year. You see, the shaman advised that because she died so young, her soul is restless. So, she needs a posthumous wedding to be appeased in the beyond."Ruth's revelation hit Thomas like a stab to the heart.She continued, "You see, that day on the roadside, when you leapt in to save me without a second thought, I realized then that you were the one destined for Ruby."She then lowered her head slightly and leaned close to his ear, whispering, "Thank you for becoming my brother-in-law, Thomas."Thomas' mind short-circuited completely. He shrieked, his knees buckling instantly as he collapsed in a heap.I stood in the corner of the crowd, observing coldly as the two bodyguards dragged Thomas toward

    It was then that Thomas suddenly took out an exquisite invitation from his suit pocket. He handed it to me, saying, "Ruth and I are getting engaged next month, Calvin."He then flashed a strained, insincere smile, adding, "You were my closest friend back in our university days after all, so you should be there to witness my joyous occasion."I took the exquisite, black-and-gold invitation and unfolded it, noting that the engagement banquet was scheduled to be held at the Gibson residence, and the time was 12:00 am. I lightly ran my fingers over the printed letters as I read them. It was such bizarre timing, yet Thomas, completely intoxicated by the prospect of instant wealth, remained oblivious to the whole thing. I was well aware that 12:00 am was when malevolent energy reached its peak.In my past life, my engagement banquet had taken place here as well, at this same eerie timing. I merely assumed it was an odd tradition of the wealthy back then. It was only later that I finally
