Everyone in the room, which included Christian, Sarah, and Evan looked at Catherine to hear her plan.
Catherine's eyes glistened as she started telling them her plan. "We are going to act as Hong Clan's wish. We are going to be enemies from now on."
The remaining three were surprised by her words, but they didn't interrupt her.
Catherine looked at Evan and asked, "Tomorrow, the Shareholders of your company will be visiting you, right?" To this question, Evan nodded his head.
Then Catherine spoke, "Very well. That will be the perfect time for us. Didn't you say that your granduncle is already working for Hong Clan?" She asked remembering his words from earlier.
Evan nodded again. Catherine smirked at this point and said, "Let's turn him into a scapegoat this time, shall we? Since he has already turned into a betrayer, I reckon he will definitely ask you about us. At that time, tell him that you are using me and that you will destroy me wh
...Hong Clan:After the right-hand man hung up the call, he looked at his boss sitting in the head seat. He asked, "Boss, are we really going to work with Saint and his family?"There was a very dim light in the room, so the leader's face was not visible. His expression could not be seen, but the right-hand man could feel him smirking at his question.A voice sounded from the head position, "K, do you really think I cannot see that Saint's greedy thinking?"K was the code name of the right-hand man.K replied, "I don't dare to, boss. You are more knowledgeable than me."The leader chuckled. "Don't worry too much. I know his greedy nature. Once he is of no use, we are going to dispose of him." He said indifferently.K also laughed with him. It was expected of his boss.The leader's voice returned to normal again. He asked, "Did you inform him not to call in your number again?""Yes, boss," K replied as
Flashback:"Brother, we will be using the same plan on our side," Catherine said."What do you mean, Cathy?" Christian asked his sister, not knowing her intention.Catherine eyed everyone present in the room and announced, "The literal meaning. When the clan members come to you to demand an answer, you will also tell them that we are just acting. And that our main purpose is to use Evan and destroy him later."This time, Sarah spoke. "But Cathy, won't the Hong Clan be suspicious? I mean Evan is using the same method too. What if they come to know that we are just acting? It will ruin everything."Catherine looked ahead and replied solemnly. "No matter what action we take, the Hong Clan will suspect our every move. They will also investigate properly. So, these few days, we will have to act among ourselves."She continued, "Also, the Hong Clan will be the happiest when they find that we are really turning against each other. After all,
Christian arrived at the event with Zen. There were many influential figures participating in the competition. But Christian's eyes were on only one person.Christian was never a person to participate in those events. It was the first time for him to attend such. "Has he arrived yet?" He asked Zen."Yes, I got the news that he is already here," Zen answered. Looking around for a while, Zen pointed his finger in a certain direction and said, "There he is."Christian followed his finger and nodded.The person they were referring to was one of the candidates fighting for the General Role in the military. His name was James. James belonged to the military family, and his grandfather was already one of the former generals. he also followed in his grandfather's footsteps.While competing for the position though, he came across a problem. The opposition party didn't want him in the position of General. According to them, his grandfather was already
In the Ricci Mansion, Sarah looked at her messy room and sighed. The whole room was covered with the clothes she threw earlier.What was she doing? Well, she was searching for lingerie. Why? Because Christian had told her to be ready for whatever punishment she was receiving. And she could guess what they would be doing tonight. So she wanted to look good and give him a surprise. But she didn't seem to find a presentable one."Ahhh!" she scratched her head in frustration. "Looks like I will have to go shopping," she murmured to herself. "But it's embarrassing," she sighed.Just then someone knocked at the door. It was Catherine. Finding that the door was open, she walked in without much thought. The scene inside the room surprised her."What are you doing with all the clothes sprawled out?" Catherine asked, bewildered.Sarah smiled awkwardly being caught unexpectedly. "No... Nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to send some clothes for laundr
"Ahh," Sarah screamed as soon as the blanket was lifted from her body. She hurriedly covered her assets from her hand.She wanted to stop him, but before she could say a word, he had already pulled the blanket.Christian was also shocked by the scene playing in front of him. His hand froze, and he couldn't seem to speak a word.Taking advantage of his freezing, Sarah quickly pulled the blanket out of his hand and covered herself. This time, even her face was covered as she didn't have the courage to face him. She wanted to slap herself for making herself so embarrassed.Seeing her lying on the bed, Christian felt amused. "Did she do this for me?" he thought, smiling.Without making any sound, Christian gently laid beside her and hugged her from behind. Sarah was under the cover while Christian was above."Sarah, I like your surprise," Christian said in a low voice.Hearing his ambiguous words, Sarah dived in even further under t
The next day, Christian woke up around 10, while Sarah was still asleep. She was just too tired from yesterday's activities. Christian too didn't wake her up, knowing she was dead tired.He then got himself showered, dressed, and walked downstairs without making any sound.Catherine was seated in the hall, playing with her cell phone. When she saw Christian coming down, she cleared her throat and wondered loudly, "Would I be getting a nephew or niece by the next year?" She had purposely spoken loudly so that Christian could hear her teasing.As expected, Christian heard it and coughed awkwardly. Where did his quiet and sensible sister go? Though he didn't dislike the thought of having children with Sarah.He just blatantly ignored his sister and walked past her for the kitchen. First, he ate his fill and after that started preparing breakfast for Sarah. Instead of coffee, he just prepared the warm milk for her as he knew she would still
The next day..."Boss, we are doomed," exclaimed one of the sub-ordinates of the Hong Clan.The Hong Leader and K shared a look with each other, not knowing what he meant."What nonsense are you spouting? What is it? What happened? Speak properly," K commanded, frowning at the sub-ordinate shaking.The sub-ordinate started trembling even more under their gazes. "The go- goods that were going to ar- arrive today got caught by military personnel." He stuttered.K had a look of shock all over his face whereas the Hong leader banged the table in front of him hard. He even flipped over the table in fury."How? How did it happen? It was such a huge investment. Who dared to go against us? Impossible!" started exclaiming lividly.Before the subordinate could speak a word, another one entered the premises hastily. He knelt in front of the Hong Leader and exclaimed, "Boss, we are surrounded from every direction. The opposite party seems t
After K left, only Smith was left behind, alone. His eyes beamed with hatred towards Christian and Evan. "I won't die until I take you two down with me," he vowed. He also left the room but didn't take the same path as K. Instead, he walked in opposite direction. Outside, Christian's men have started attacking from south and east, whereas Evan's men took control of north and west. They weren't going to give anyone a chance to escape from there and inform other members for help. Christian and Evan were seated in their respective cars, not coming out yet. They would personally make a move only when the Hong Leader would walk out. As for others, their group was more than enough. As Christian was smoking inside the car, his phone vibrated. It was a message from James. "Done!" it read. Christian smirked, reading it. The 'done' in the message indicated that James has been successful in his mission. He forwarded the message to Evan, who chuckled at it.
