Lahat ng Kabanata ng A DANGEROUS AFFAIR : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

81.There were little things Ethan could tolerate.As a man who worked really hard, he expected perfection in everything which earned him this hard and cold exterior that intimidated anyone who worked with him.Building an empire and maintaining the family's wealth for many years required intense training. He made a lot of sacrifices along the way to get this far.Taking charge of their empire meant he had to be prepared for everything and anything. Thus, he had to undertake all sorts of training in different parts of the world.Working relentlessly to meet up with his responsibilities as sole heir of the Reynolds family, he was forced to be an adult at an early age of sixteen.From childhood, he was taught to be regal, recognizing his own worth as a Reynolds.Their lineage was filled with remarkable men and women who made important contributions to various significant fields.Owning multiple businesses including wineries, hotels, airlines, hospitals… the Reynolds family was one of th

83.The rain had lessened to drops. Just as the sky rumbled, the people in the commissioner's study walked out."I'm grateful for the information you've given us, Miss. Morgan. It's gonna go a long way in solving the toughest case of two decades. You have no idea how many people you're helping by doing this."It wasn't just those people. She would be doing many countries a favour. Those were the countries that suffered the wrath of The Skull.Face blank, showing no reaction to the commissioner's gratitude, Veronica was silent.Feeling something cold wrap around her hand, she looked down in time to see Ethan clasp her hand before giving a little squeeze.Smiling at the brief act of assurance, she raised her head and nodded at the commissioner.Ignoring the discomfort in her chest, she kept her head high as she spoke. "This is a case of justice. Many victims have suffered for years under his cruelty. It's high time alias' Xerxes pays for all he did."In his many years of serving in the

85.Just arriving at the airport, Tim and Samatha ran in just in time to see Jade Yokozuna in handcuffs being guided by the police out of the checkpoint.Right behind them, another officer was wheeling Mariko. The old man was cursing loudly. He was causing a scene that attracted a lot of attention.As soon as Samantha saw Jade, her temper flared up. Pushing past the passengers in front of her, she rushed towards Jade and yanked her hair."You vicious little bitch! How dare you sabotage the company?" She asked, jerking the girl forcefully."Argh! Let me go," Jade was also struggling. The ruthless director was hurting her."Do you still have a mouth to speak? I'll teach you to shut it!" Samantha snapped back, red showing in her eyes.Quickly recovering from Samantha Qian's unexpected onslaught, the police stepped in and drew her back."Let me go! I'll teach that greedy bitch a lesson." At this moment, Samantha forgot her upbringing in the upperclass society. She struggled and kicked wil

87.'That bastard! How dare him?' But knowing the kind of loyalty he had to their father, it was not surprising that Diego was the mastermind behind her company's sabotage."Ma'am, I've told you the truth. Please leave my dad alone." From the start, Mariko was Jade's only concern.She was willing to go against a powerful mafia leader like Diego Guillermo so long her father's safety was guaranteed.Desperate eyes pleaded with Veronica. "You promised my father will be safe. Don't go back on your word, Miss. Morgan."Meeting the girls helpless gaze, Veronica's heart clenched.She never had a tight bond with her father. And it hurt more than it should.Like always, she was careful and did not let her true emotions show. What Jade saw was a cold, unreadable tycoon.Sharp spears formed in Veronica's irises. Jade shivered when she collided with the piercing gaze enveloping her."I always keep my words, Miss. Yokozuna. Your dad would be transferred to a safe house and he'll remain there until

89."Me?" Diego was genuinely shocked but he played it cool and fixed a cold smile on her. "Whatever do you need me for?""Testify against dad for me!" If desperation didn't overwhelm her, she would never have blurted that out. And no, she did not appreciate how weak her tone sounded while saying that.However, desperate times required desperate measures. The formerly dominant CEO who etched fear on the hearts of others was reduced to a helpless woman in front of her much hated brother.For a moment, the place was silent. Diego seemed like he was hit by a bolt of lightning. His silence was scary.Slowly, he withdrew from her. Then carefully, he looked over her face. After finding whatever he was looking for, he laughed but it was an empty humourless sound."Are you kidding me? Do you really expect me to help you take down our father?" She knew where his loyalty lied so why bother?Shaking his head with disbelief, he turned his back on her and began walking away. "You're quite a dreame
