"Boss."Sherly raised her head and met Kim's eyes. "Hmm?""There's someone lurking outside. I don't know who it was, but I think I saw that person once with you."Sherly raised her eyebrow and took the tablet from Kim's hand. Indeed, she saw a familiar face. Sherly sighed. She gave the tablet back to Kim and said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with this. You guys don't need to be alarmists as he is harmless and on our side."Kim did not ask about it, as he nodded his head and left. Well, he is indeed not harmless because they aren't his target. Besides, he has always been by George's side. Sherly stepped out of the building, her eyes narrowing in curiosity as she spotted Lary fumbling around near their office. Sensing something amiss, she approached cautiously, her senses on high alert."Lary?" Sherly called out, her voice cutting through the air and causing Lary to startle, nearly dropping whatever he was holding.He's been like this for a while, so Sherly knew why he was startled. Howeve

In the dimly lit corners of the underground market, a lot of people decided to go there and talk to others to get the information they needed. In the middle of the hushed murmurs and secret exchanges, whispers of the Information Center's appeared again, sparking a mix of curiosity and speculation among the gathered individuals. When the information center disappeared, everyone went mad. Especially the mafia bosses, since they're particularly the people who could meet someone from the center. Not only that, some of the mafia from the other country also sought information and asked for an explanation when they learned that the information center had disappeared. However, now the information center is starting to move. As they huddled together in small groups, their voices barely above a whisper, rumors began to circulate, each more intriguing than the last.At one shadowy corner, a group of hooded figures discussed the latest hearsay with hushed urgency. It was as if they were part of t

After Sherly told them that she'd go and meet them before she left, all of her friends teased her. It is either that she should come back with him or that she should have his child after that, and that they should have given them a wedding invitation. Everything may have looked teasing, but Sherly knew that there's something hidden in it. It was all their wish, and if she had to sum it all up, they all just wanted her to be happy. As the taxi wove its way through the city streets, the driver looked at the rearview mirror and asked Sherly, "Do you mind me opening the radio? It's been a habit of mine to listen to some news while driving, so if it is okay with you, can I open my radio?"Sherly looked up and smiled. "Yes, you can." "Thank you," the driver said as the driver idly flicked on the radio, filling the car with the sound of the news bulletin. Sherly listened attentively as the reporter's voice filled the vehicle, detailing the recent events in the ongoing mafia conflict."The

In the hospital room, George's voice was filled with a mixture of remorse and urgency as he began to explain himself to Sherly. He watched her closely, hoping to convey the sincerity of his words through his eyes."Sherly, I need you to understand." The grip he had on Sherly's hand tightened a little as he assured her that everything was really real and that everything he wanted to say, he wanted her to believe. Meanwhile, Sherly only rubbed her hand against his hand and listened to him. George then took a deep breath before continuing. "That day, the person I was with was Andrea," George confessed, his voice laced with regret. "We had an arrangement, a contract of sorts, that if we didn't find anyone else, we would marry each other. But things changed, Sherly. We both found someone we truly cared about. That is the reason why we decided to meet each other after years of stablishing our contract."Sherly listened intently, her heart heavy with the weight of George's revelation. Who wo

While George is still sleeping, since she still has things to do, she went out first without waking him up. She could only tell Lary about it before leaving.As soon as Sherly went back to her office, she delved into her investigation, her brow furrowed in deep concentration. She navigated through encrypted files and shadowy networks, her fingers flying across the keyboard with practiced precision. Each click and keystroke brought her closer to the truth, but with it came a growing sense of unease.Finally, after what felt like an eternity of searching, Sherly uncovered the identity of the individual who had tasked Ace with investigating her as a Scorpio. Her heart sank as she read the name displayed on the screen: Joseph Santos.Sherly's mind reeled with disbelief. Joseph Santos, her father's archenemy, had been behind it all along. The realization sent a chill down her spine, her thoughts swirling with questions and suspicions."How could he?" she muttered to herself, her voice lace
