It was evening. Both the siblings prepared themselves for the talk that was going to take place.
Around 6, Christian reached the mansion. When he didn’t see Catherine and Sarah in the hall, he directly walked to the study room. The girls were already seated there. Glancing at them, Christian directly walked to the head chair and sat there. Between these, no words were exchanged between them.
The environment turned solemn. Sarah glanced at the brother-sister duo and decided to excuse herself from there first. She had just stood up when Christian asked her, “What are you doing?” Catherine also looked at her confused.
Feeling glared from both of them, Sarah couldn’t speak properly. She pointed at the door signaling that she was going out.

“What are you doing here?” Catherine asked Evan.Evan smiled at her and patted her head. “Of course, to accompany my to-be wife.”Catherine blushed at his words, while Christian glared at him.“Have you done enough?” Christian lashed out at Evan. He just could not tolerate that guy's lecherous gaze at his sister.Evan chuckled at his words. “Why? Are you jealous? Brother, you should learn from me how to impress your girl. Otherwise, she will run away from you soon.” Completing his sentence, Evan glanced at Sarah for a second.Even though the glance was only for a second, Sarah clearly noticed it. Her face turned red.Chri
Sarah was stunned. What? Change here? In front of him?Thinking of it, her face started to turn red."N... No, it's okay. I will be done in a second." Sarah stuttered and wanted to walk into the bathroom."You didn't hear me? Or do you want me to help you change? Actually, I like you the most when you don't wear anything. So, just drop the idea of changing. Let's go." Christian interrupted her."Huh?" Sarah looked at him with eyes widened. How can he say those words with an expressionless face?"It's okay. I will change, change here."Quickly looking at her surrounding, Sarah's eyes lit up with an idea. She walked behind the curtain and started changing there. That way, even if she was changing in front of him, he cannot see her.On the other side of the curtain, Christian continued staring at her figure. Though he could not see her body, he could still make out the figure from the shadow. His adam's apple bobbed up and do
Catherine continued bombarding Evan with messages. Evan could not bear it anymore, so he directly called her. At the very first ringtone, Catherine picked up the call. Even then, before Christian could speak, Catherine continued her chattering. "Why didn't you reply? Do you know how worried I got? By the way, did you read the message I sent earlier? About my brother and Sarah? Hey, why aren't you speaking?" From the other side came Evan's sigh. "Did you even let me speak?" Catherine bit her lips when she realized that she indeed didn't let him speak. "Ok, ok. You speak then. I will listen." "Did you call me this late-night to tell me about your brother and your friend?" came Evan's exasperated voice. He couldn't believe her. She was disturbing him this late-night just to talk about that? Catherine replied back instantly, "What? Aren't you curious about them too? See, they have already to that step. But what about us? We have known each other e
Evan was greeted by the shareholders as soon as he entered his office. He already knew that they were going to be there because of false information circulating around.Among the shareholders, there was an old man with the surname Vitale. He was Evan’s one of the granduncles. And Evan knew that he was already supporting Hong Clan. That granduncle would act nice and caring in front of him but was backstabbing him. Evan knew of all those things but still kept him by his side to use him later.And finally, today was the time.He walked to the head chair as if he was worried about nothing and sat there. The shareholders were irked by his nonchalant attitude. They started complaining as soon as he took his seat.Evan let them speak as they wanted. He didn’t even listen to them and was just scrolling his cell phone. Seeing his action, the shareholders now started scolding him instead of complaining.Finally, after five more minutes, Evan put
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
