In the dimly lit interrogation room of the police station, Hideous confronted Lilia, his heart heavy with a mix of anger and confusion. This woman tried to kill his one and only daughter. If his daughters aren't strong, doesn't that mean he'll lose one of his children? This woman tried to kill his daughter. Hideous stared at Lilia. He needed answers and closure for the unthinkable act she had committed against their own flesh and blood."Lilia, why?" Hideous's voice cut through the silence, his tone firm and resolute.If it weren't for the glass in between them, Hideous might have used his torturing method on this woman. However, because of this glass, he couldn't even put his hands on her neck to straggle her.Lilia sat before him, her gaze vacant, as if lost in the depths of her own despair. She murmured softly, almost to herself, "Sherly, she's the root of all the evil."Hideous frowned in confusion as he clenched his fists in frustration, struggling to understand the depth of Lili

As Sherly drifted off into a peaceful slumber, George sat quietly by her side, his mind buzzing with a mixture of emotions. He could just kill his time watching her, but he knows that she won't be able to sleep peacefully if he does that. Thus, with nothing but the soft glow of the TV illuminating the room, he turned on the news, seeking a distraction from the weight of the day's events.He already has an idea of what's happening inside the government right now since the person they planted there reported to them already, but who knows what kind of things these little reporters are going to tell the public? With the public's anger poured into Joseph because he is the mastermind of the war between the two mafias that caused a lot of people to lose their homes and family members, this kind of news was anticipated.As the news anchor reported on Joseph's interrogation, George's attention was immediately captured. All the news was now about Joseph and his wrongdoing. With this, the things

Sherly could hear the papers flipping in the background and the scratching sound of the pen and paper, and she knew that her father was still in his office. She took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Dad, are you busy?"The scratching sound of pen and paper stopped, and she heard her father answer, "I am busy, but if you ask for time, I have a lot to spare. So, what is it? Do you have a problem?"Sherly bit her lower lip first. "Dad, you need to come to the hospital right now. Someone attacked Keisley," she said, her voice thick with emotion."Wait, what? Keisley is in the hospital, and someone attacked him?" Sherly nodded her head even though her father couldn't see her. "Yes, Dad. I am not in front of the operating room. Keisley was stabbed in the hotel after his meeting with his client." "What the fuck!" Sherly shivered as she heard her father curse. This is the first time she has heard him say those words. It was as if it came out of his lips without noticing it. "I'll be there

As Hideous entered the hospital room, his heart heavy with concern for his son, he was met with an unsettling sight. Keisley lay alone in the hospital bed, his face marked with bruises that spoke of the violence he had endured.Hideous looked around to see if there's someone here, but none. No one was with Keisley right now. The person watching the floor told him that Sherly bought a dinner with George not too long ago, so he thought that Kyle was here at least. Anger boiled within Hideous as he took in the sight of his son's injuries, his fists clenching at his sides with pent-up frustration. He couldn't help but resent the person responsible for causing his son such pain.How dare they do this to him? He might have this silly little troublesome tongue, but it wasn't enough for them to do this. Looking at it, they must have no intention of letting him go. If it weren't for George's people watching over us in the dark, this might be something worse."It's my fault," Hideous muttered,

As the trial concluded with a guilty verdict for Joseph, the courtroom erupted into a flurry of murmurs and whispers. Well, it was what Sherly, George, Kyle, Keisley, Hideous, and the rest on their side expected, especially Hideous and the President. When they got the verdict, they did not even show a surprise expression. With solid and profound evidence presented in court, the verdict has already been decided. Sherly watched with a sense of pride and admiration as her father, Hideous, stood before the court, his unwavering dedication and determination evident in every word he spoke. She knew that her father was a lawyer before he became a part of the government. He did a lot of things that helped him earn the position he had today. Thus, she couldn't help but feel proud that he was her father.Beside her, George squeezed Sherly's hand in silent support, sharing in her sense of accomplishment. He saw her looking at her father in admiration. Then, a momentary memory flashed in her min
