“Not even a cent?” Christian looked bemused. “That’s unusual.”“That girl was unusual from the start.” Greg shook his head. “Do you know what favor she asked of me?”“What was it?”“A new identity.”“A new… identity? Why?”“That was the only thing she asked of me.”“Is she a criminal?”“Perhaps. I won’t know unless I conduct an investigation on her.”“What kind of crimes could a young girl commit?” Christian sounded like he had a hard time processing this information.“There are a lot of things. Maybe theft.” Greg shrugged. “I have no idea at the moment. Once the results are out, we will know.”“How old is she?”“Eighteen.” Greg raised an eyebrow. “Are you interested in her?”“In her background, yes,” Christian said calmly. “She might just be pretending in order to catch your interest. I do not trust her.”Greg chuckled. “Neither do I. But she does deserve a favor, so I will do it without hesitation. I just want to know the reason behind it, for contingency purposes.”“I see.”***The

Patricia was absolutely taken with Hailey. The sight alone puzzled Christian, but he wisely decided not to say anything.‘If this gets into dangerous territory, I’m going to have to put a stop to it,’ he thought to himself as he watched the girl playing with his younger sister in the living room.Patricia wanted to play tag, which was really childish and he wanted nothing to do with it, so only she and Hailey were the participants.But in spite of himself, he couldn’t help but give Hailey a lingering look. He couldn’t seem to read her. It was as if she had two different personalities.One moment she was cool and polite, and the next she was happy and smiling so brightly that the corners of her lips almost reached her ears.The effect was almost like whiplash.‘She seems genuine,’ he thought absently as he watched her scour the area for Patricia’s hiding spot. She even seemed to enjoy the game.Why an eighteen-year-old would be interested in such a childish game was beyond him. Persona

‘The audacity of this girl.’This was what Christian thought immediately as a response to her blatant insult.No one had ever dared to say that to his face before. This was certainly a first.The silence between them became tense, like the formation of a dense cloud. He was seething inside, but he didn’t want to explode like an irrational person on this woman, no matter how foolish she was.He would handle this situation calmly. He would be the better person instead of her. He had been taught by his father to remain calm in any situation. Rationality over emotions, as Greg often liked to call it.“…You’re a pretty brave girl for saying that,” he finally said in an impassive tone.Hailey only scoffed. There seemed to be no hint of fear in her eyes.A brave girl, indeed.“I am always brave enough to stand up for injustice whenever it’s needed,” she pointed out. “You’re the one in the wrong and yet you refuse to acknowledge it.”“I was merely being honest,” he said as calmly as he could.

Hailey’s expression betrayed no emotion as she met his gaze directly.“I’m sorry,” she repeated in an impassive tone. “I was out of line. I shouldn’t have interfered.”Christian blinked. Well, this was certainly a first.Normally, whenever women apologized, it was to gain something out of him. Maybe she had something concocted there in that pretty little head of hers?“I thought you said that you have a sense of justice,” he pointed out. “That you did not do anything wrong and that you refuse to apologize to someone like me.”“I still think that way,” she said simply.Well, that was a surprise.“Oh really?” he said sarcastically.She sighed. “But even so, I should’ve approached the matter in a more mature way. Calling you an asshole went too far. I should’ve explained calmly and let the matter go, because like you said, it’s really none of my business.”He listened to her words, feeling the surprise in his heart increase.“You people are not my family or my friends, so…” Her voice tra

When he got downstairs for breakfast fully dressed, the food was already served on the table. However, Camille was nowhere to be seen.“Where is she?” he asked one of the maids nearby.The maid, Marie, approached him and said politely, “Miss Parker went ahead to the company, Mr. Callahan. She said to inform you that she will go to work early to finalize preparations for the Solar Project.”“I see,” Christian said. Marie quickly excused herself to the kitchen.He watched her leave with a slightly raised eyebrow. He had noticed that she never met his eyes the whole time. In fact, there seemed to be a hint of fear in her demeanor.Had he been unruly last night? He still couldn’t remember much, but if so, that would be humiliating. He had always prided himself on being calm and decisive at all times. If he had behaved like a foolish drunk last night…Christian decided that he would have to confront Camille about this later at the company. He had an inkling as to why she left before him, a

“Good morning, Mr. Huckington,” Camille greeted politely, forcing a smile on her lips. She hoped that it didn’t look too strained.“Good morning, Miss Parker,” Harold said. “A fine morning we’re having so far, isn’t it?”“Ah, yes. Perhaps.”“Hmm? What’s the matter? Are you having a bad day already?”Camille was having a hard time keeping the smile on her face. “Not at all, Mr. Huckington. I just personally think that it’s too early to tell.”She felt a little stumped. Whenever Harold visited the company, Christian was always here to handle him. She had never been left alone with Harold before, and she was starting to get a little nervous.‘No. I can do this without that bastard’s help,’ she thought in determination. ‘Let’s just not give him any ideas.’“Well, as for me, I’m having a rather interesting day, Miss Parker,” Harold said with a grin. “Would you like to know why?”Camille refused to fall for the bait. “Mr. Huckington, if you’re here for Mr. Callahan, he hasn’t arrived yet. Y

Harold immediately let go of Camille, but he did not move an inch from his position. In fact, he almost seemed smug.‘How foolish,’ Camille thought in her head, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.“What were you doing just now?” Christian’s voice was icy cold.“Just talking with your little secretary,” Harold had the guts to respond.“Excuse me?”Meanwhile, Camille took a few steps back, dusting off her collar and fixing her blouse in place. She could not keep the disgust off her expression. She would let Christian deal with this now, thank god.That just now was one of the most revolting situations she had ever been placed into. Normally she would pummel touchy men like that into the ground, but seeing as this was one of the more influential men in the city, she could not afford to be too hasty. Reputation mattered in this town, unfortunately.She also did not want to be in the spotlight too much. The Callahans made sure that her new identity was not suspicious at all and pulled a l

The atmosphere in the office instantly changed. The murderous look in Christian’s eyes faded away, replaced by a startling blankness.Startled, Camille wondered what exactly Harold meant by that.‘The truth about Pamela Callahan’s death?’ she thought, shocked. ‘I only heard that Gregory Callahan lost his wife to an illness, but at that time, she had already left him and their kids.’‘Come to think of it, I’m not sure if they got an actual divorce back then…’At that moment, employees started to notice the commotion. Camille stepped back and tried not to seem like she was involved in any of this. Gossip was merciless in a society like this one.Christian knew this as well, so he backed off a bit. Interestingly, he no longer looked furious. Instead, there was this cold, calculative look in his eyes.“We will talk about this tomorrow,” he said icily. “Alone.”Harold looked satisfied at this. “Very well. Like you, I don’t want any trouble, either. I’m glad that we have both come to a mutu
