Back in the day, Xever Group was the biggest private company around. Xever Gibson had what they might call a golden touch. Every single project he touched turned to gold. There were no losses, just wins. He was a legend, and any project he picked up pulled in huge investments from all over the world.He had that plan to dig a huge mine. Even before they started, investors had poured in 50 billion dollars. Everyone was watching. However, out of the blue, the mine caved in, and over a hundred miners got trapped underground.Wilder scrunched his eyebrows. Someone had just 'killed' his character in the game, so he logged off to give Ophite his full attention.Ophite let out a heavy sigh. Those miners were more than just workers; they were people with families.After a sip of his drink, he kept going, "Right after the accident, the authorities took Xever and started digging into what happened. It took them half a year, but they ended up saying it was just a terrible accident. It was som

Maxwell reluctantly shared, "Xever did have a son and a daughter. When all that trouble happened, his son was just three, and his daughter was a newborn, barely a month old."Yosef's brows furrowed. "He had another son?""Yes, but remember how I said there was no one to handle his funeral? That's because the Gibson family was in total disarray. His son was playing by himself at the doorstep when he was snatched by kidnappers. "I even sent people to search, but he was never found. It's like when it rains, it pours, and then you get hit with a blizzard on top of that," Maxwell said with a shake of his head.Yosef asked once more, "And the daughter?"Maxwell's voice was heavy with sadness. "After Xever died, his wife couldn't bear the pain. She took their little girl, and they both jumped into the river."Ophite's eyes widened in shock. "They jumped into the river? On purpose?""Yes." Maxwell nodded solemnly. "Mrs. Gibson's body was in the river for over a month before they found

Shelby hung up the call with Yosef and stood still for a second. Then, she turned to look into the living room, where Zara had been all along.Yes, Zara was actually with Shelby.When Yosef called, Zara quickly put her finger to her lips, telling Shelby to keep quiet about her being there.Shelby was puzzled. "Why not tell Mr. Webb the truth?"Zara cradled a steaming cup in her hands, her fingertips reddening from the heat while her lips stayed pale. "I need your help with something, but you're pregnant..." She bit her lip. "I just don't know who else to turn to."Shelby shrugged it off. "What's up? I'm pregnant, not helpless."Cecil piped up too, "Don't forget about me. I'm here to help as well."Zara looked up. "My mom passed out on New Year's Eve and was taken to the hospital. You know that. My dad went with her, but then he vanished. I didn't hear anything until the police called at midnight, saying my dad was drunk and making a scene on the street."Shelby nodded. "And the

The room was quiet, and Zara was alone on the bed.Zara sat up with a heavy head, still feeling lost from a night filled with jumbled dreams. She felt like she had not quite woken up yet.After sitting there for a moment, she heard some noise outside. She got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Yosef at the dining table. He was taking out several boxes of food from an insulated bag.Zara caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She turned to see Yosef, who looked a bit lost. His whole demeanor was soft. He smiled gently. "You're up? Go freshen up, then come have breakfast."She did not need to ask. She knew he must have had Charvi or Samwell bring the meal. Zara nodded, went back to the bathroom to wash up, and then came out to eat.Yosef had sent not just breakfast, but clothes too.He wore the black shirt he usually wore, but today, he had on a slim black tie. It made him look younger and more stylish than usual. His sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, showing off his mu

Zara was fuming, but her mind was racing. Her words were off. "What do you know?" No, she should be asking, "Do you know everything?"Shawn just gave a slight smile, as if to say she was smart. However, he stayed quiet.His eyes were perfectly shaped, and when he smiled, they crinkled at the edges. His eyelids were thin, making his eyes look deep and intense. However, his gaze was calm and still. He seemed cold but caring at the same time.Those were eyes that could feel deeply.Zara looked away from him and said coldly, "Instead of having someone tail me, just tell me everything. I need to know what's going on to protect myself."Shawn's voice was soft and serious. "If it were easy to tell you everything, I never would've walked away from you."Did that mean his leaving for another country long ago had something to do with her past?Zara's eyebrows knitted together in worry.He had told her last night about Trevor seeing two people on New Year's Eve, two people who were the re
