Chapter 115: Strange Luck
THE FIRST night as a prisoner passed peacefully and smoothly for August. The prisoners treated him as a wallflower until they dozed asleep. Everyone was already snoring, and some were even cursing in their dreams.However, August was just sitting at the edge of the wall, staring at the prison cell door while hugging both his knees. He wasn’t used to being with people— especially not during his sleeping time, and especially not in a prison cell.He was used to being alone, and even though he had companions, he still felt isolated. No one here could be his ally. This would be a battle between him and the world.There was only one thing on his mind. He needed to endure a year, although he doesn’t have any idea how. He doesn’t know what to do afterward— whether he’ll continue his revenge or not.But one thing was for sure. Despite the fake confession that he needed to make before, August must prove his innocence! However, negative thoughts consumed him, again and again. He felt betrayed
Chapter 116: Plan C
“THIS IS what I like about this place. They give delicious food unlike the other prisons out there,” said Rio as he sat on the table, beside August. He ate the beef steak and the other dishes with a smirk on his face. All of them were at the same table as they were roommates, but no one dared to talk with August, except for Amadeus who was looking at him intently.Well, it wasn’t just Amadeus who was looking at him intently. Because of what happened in the field earlier, he already got everyone’s attention. It was just his first time here, yet everyone knew his existence now. August cursed himself repeatedly as he thought of that.“Why aren’t you eating?” asked Amadeus as he took one spoonful of rice from his mouth. “Don’t you like the food?”August shook his head. “No… I like it.” August took the spoon and fork. “I’ll eat now.”August sliced the beef steak on his plate, and he was about to take a bite when someone held on to his spoon and threw it on the floor. His eyes widened as
Chapter 117: Amadeus Adler
THE TIP of the knife buried into August’s skin as he tried to dodge to the side. He groaned in pain, but at the same time, his movements became faster and he was able to stay away from his attacker before the knife would bury more in his body.“Fuck!” August cussed loudly. His breathing became ragged when he looked at the blood dripping from his wound. “Who are you?”“My apologies, Fordman.” The man smirked before he played with the knife in his hand. “This is just a part of my job that I needed to execute.”In one swift, the man who had a crazy, wicked smirk on his lips attacked August again. Unlike Gabriel, his opponent now was skilled in combat and using knives. August could only dodge, but at the same time, his vision
Chapter 118: His Answer
“DID I hear it right?” Francis asked again after his silence for two minutes. He tried to calm his rapid heartbeat first before speaking. “Did you say, Amadeus Adler?”“Yes, young master,” Mill, the man’s name, replied.Francis clicked his tongue as he hit the steering wheel repeatedly with all his might. The horns echoed loudly inside the car. The other drivers within their distance got annoyed because of that, but he didn’t care at all.“You idiot! What made you think that it wasn't important information?!” Francis exclaimed. He almost wanted to smack the person he was talking to. “Since when? Did you get any information from the higher-ups about why they were roommates?”“Since the first day
Chapter 119: There's No Way But Up
“AUGUSTUS Fordman doesn’t have any connections to the Remington Corporation anymore,” Charles declared casually. “I hope it’s clear already. I don’t want any of the reporters to ask anything about it.”His eyes told everyone how much he wanted to avoid the controversy. Since the day the police were finding August to arrest him, the media never stopped talking about them.The Remington Corporation’s management had a hard time fixing the situation, especially when the stock prices plummeted, and when some of the investors wanted to withdraw their investments, afraid that August’s issue would affect the company as well.Charles looked exhausted and weak. The rest he had when August was handling the corporation went back to him, threefold. Now, he couldn’t even
Chapter 120: Sneak Out

Chapter 121: The Real Deal About Blackbell Prison
“WHAT are you talking about?”August raised a brow before he sat on the bed. He wiped his eyes using his fingers, removing the morning glory from them.However, he stopped moving when Rio placed his index finger on his lips, giving August a warning to tone down his voice.“You’re in danger,” said Rio, shaking his head. He didn’t even bother answering August’s question. “I’ll go now. Go back to sleep.”Rio went outside the cell without even looking back at him. The police officer closed the cell door without noise as both of them walked away. They were like spies who moved carefully to avoid getting caught.August was confused as hell. The tip of his brows pressed onto each other as he scratched his head. However, he just lay again on the bed and went back to sleep.When he woke up, the sun had already risen. Everyone was preparing themselves for another day. Sergio was in front of the mirror, looking at his reflection as he made his weird poses, while Amadeus tied up his shoelaces.“N

AS AUGUST and his roommates started cleaning the bathroom on the second floor after eating lunch, the entire city was busy because of a seminar being televised on different channels.It was an ordinary seminar— speakers would tell the audience about their experiences and such. However, the difference was that the speakers were influential and powerful, and one of them was Bruce Sandoval.The reporters were scattered around the coliseum where the event takes place. They were waiting for Bruce to arrive. Bruce and the whole Sandoval family became the hottest topic in the country as the Sandoval family drastically arised from Top 50 to Top 30 in just three months.Other than that, Bruce recently got an award for his continuous donations to charities, and for being one of the best entrepreneurs for this month. It was also the reason why the organizers for the employee seminar invited Bruce as a guest speaker.“I look damn fine.” Bruce cackled as he complimented himself.He was sitting in
