YVONNE'S POV."A letter requesting cancellation of cooperation as a company investor? You want to sell all your shares in my company?"I was surprised after reading the letter Mr. Ken had just given me.Two hours ago Mr. Ken made an impromptu appointment with me. I thought he was going to talk about other business matters between the two of us. Unexpectedly, when we had no problems at all, he told me this.Maybe I could understand if my company was in trouble or heading for collapse. But what happened was that all my businesses from culinary, tourism, retail, and fashion under the Ambergynn Group were booming."What's your reason for doing this, Mr. Ken?" I asked, trying to remain calm, although my heart was a little anxious.I sat down in front of Mr. Ken, half expecting him to be joking. Unfortunately, Mr. Ken's serious expression made my hopes dashed."I know the Ambergynn Group has given me a lot of benefits over the years. But, you know, I'm a businessman who aims for profit. So.
JESSY'S POV. The aroma of vanilla filled the VIP meeting room. I had just stepped inside when I saw Mr. Ken standing at the large window, his back to me. I was a little surprised; he had arrived earlier than our agreed meeting time. "Welcome, Mrs. Jessy. You're here too," Mr. Ken said before turning to face me. In Mr. Ken's hand was a glass of red wine, which he swirled gently. As he walked towards me, Mr. Ken studied me from head to toe like a scanner. "Wow, I guess there's something very important for you that you're so well-prepared like this," Mr. Ken remarked. "I didn't expect you to come early, Mr. Ken. Our meeting is still ten minutes away," I said, ignoring his remark. Mr. Ken sighed. "You know I have a lot on my plate. Actually, I didn't want to have an impromptu meeting with you either, but..."Mr. Ken's gaze was very serious as he looked at me, as if reading something from my face. "I suspect there's something urgent you need to discuss. So I feel reluctant to refus
JESSY'S POV.I stood looking at the large window of Kale's quiet office. For the past few hours, ever since Kale left for Yvonne's mansion, my mind had been racing. I found it difficult to calm my restless feelings. Various possible scenarios of Kale's meeting with Yvonne played over and over in my head. Without stopping. The more I imagined the interaction between Kale and Yvonne, the more my heart burned. Did Kale really only meet with Jansen? Or did Kale secretly invite Yvonne and Jansen to dinner? "Mrs. Jessy. This is the latest report on Mr. Kale's whereabouts and activities." A voice from behind startled me. I turned with hope as Taylor—the head of the personal bodyguards—approached me. "What did you find?" I asked excitedly as I walked to Kale's desk. Taylor pulled out several printed photos from a rectangular brown envelope. There were five printed photos handed to me. I looked at all the photos, examining them intently. “Three of the photos were taken by one of Yvon
KALE'S POV.My car stopped in the courtyard in front of Yvonne and Theo's mansion door.For a moment, I hesitated in the driver's seat. There seemed to be a fight between logic and feelings in my mind. I could already imagine how Yvonne and Theo would reject me if they saw me coming.But one side of me didn't want to care about that. Wasn't I just taking away my right as Jansen's biological father to see his own son?Knock! Knock!A knock on my side window snapped me out of my reverie. One of Yvonne's bodyguards was waiting for my reaction, he stuck his face in the window.I rolled down the window and he said, "Mr. Kale, do you need me to park your car?"For three seconds I considered my decision, whether to go inside or not. Although my ego was too high to care about the rejection I would get later."Yes, please."I got out of the car after answering.While one of Yvonne's bodyguards took over my car to be parked to the other side, I stepped onto the terrace area. The few bodyguards
KALE'S POV."Dad, I just-"PLAK!A hard slap landed on my right cheek just as I had arrived at the mansion.My body almost staggered. I wasn't expecting this slap at all. It took me a split second to flinch, digesting what Watson had just done to me."You! Why did you say such hurtful things to Jessy?" Watson's voice was low, but full of assertion and accusation.I raised my face, seeing that Watson was already pointing at my face."What do you mean, Father? I said something hurtful to Jessy?" I asked, not knowing what Watson meant by that.Watson lowered his index finger, placing a hand grip on my shoulder. His gaze seemed wary, for whatever reason. I still did not understand why Watson's gesture showed anxiety.And, what did I do to Jessy?I didn't hit her. Nor did I say any hurtful things to him. So, why was Watson slapping me just about Jessy?"You're really stupid, Kale. You should have restrained yourself from cornering her about her not being able to give you a child!"After he
THEO'S POV.[Main Suspects: Hugo, Erick]I let out a long sigh after finishing writing on the printed paper of the dashboard recording photo. I looked at the board while backing up slightly, replaying the memory of a few hours ago when I interrogated Erick.My feelings were chaotic. Worry and anger were mixed up in my chest. I didn't think it would be easy to solve this problem. Because, what Erick said is true.I had no recorded evidence to show that the man on the stairs-who pushed Jansen-was the same man as the one caught on the car's dashboard camera, Erick. The two had different appearances, especially since the man on the stairs didn't fully uncover his face."Ah, he's deliberately like that to cover up his actions," I muttered as I watched Erick's face on the printed photographic evidence.My gaze alternated between the photo of Erick from the dashboard camera footage and the portrait of the man coming down the stairs. The other side of me still believed that these two men were
