FROZEN AT his spot, August’s eyes widened while staring at the paper he was holding.
[DISAPPROVED.]
It was written in big, capital letters like it was slapping him from the reality that he wouldn’t be able to escape this place as much as he wanted to. That he would spend his entire life in jail.
His hands almost loosened their grip on the paper, until he let go of it, causing the paper to fall on the floor.
“Aw, man! Too bad!” Bruce exclaimed before he chuckled. “You didn’t pass the parole? I wonder why?”
Bruce’s voice was full of sarcasm and mockery. Suddenly, August realized the reason why he went this far to visit him— to make August see the difference between him and B

Chapter 140: We're Here To Help You
‘HOW COULD a person be this heartless?’ It was the only question that lingered on August's mind as he stared at the television. Samantha was wearing the same dress he bought for her before— and the same dress she used when Bruce proposed to her. Samantha was sitting in a white office chair, and a white table was in front of her. She had a brown scarf on her neck, and she was wearing large sunglasses that almost hid her face. “Is it true that you've been involved with Augustus Fordman even before both of you entered the Sandoval Corporation?” the interviewer asked. “Y-Yes. August is my ex-boyfriend,” answered Samantha as her voice cracked a bit. “We've been together since college. We have kept our relationship a secret since I wanted to finish my studies first…”

AMADEUS glanced at Rio, signaling him to do something about the CCTV camera inside the room. Rio nodded when he understood what Amadeus meant as he took something from his pocket— A memory card.That made August confused. His lips parted as his questioning look greeted Rio. However, Rio just made a thumbs up before he walked like a flash.He knew how to avoid being caught on camera, so he moved with pre-calculated steps until he was at the edge of the room. In one swift, he used the chair behind him and stepped on it. Finally, he placed the memory card inside the CCTV camera.It didn’t take a second before the camera shut down, only to work again after a few seconds. Earlier, the camera was blinking red, but now, it was the color green. Rio took a look at it again, and when he confirmed something,
Chapter 142: How Can I Forget That Name?
THE PRISONERS, instead of helping Mill, did the opposite. They had taken turns to cheer Mill, who was helplessly lying on the floor, and the prison guard who looked determined to kill Mill on the spot.“Wooo! Police versus a prisoner! Nice view!”“Mill! Don’t let them beat you to death, you dumbass!”“Nice punch, officer! Finish the fight already!”A round of screams and applause followed after that.Finishing the fight means killing one of them so the other one could be declared the winner. August shook his head in disbelief. He didn’t like Mill, too, but he couldn’t stand looking at this pitiful situation like this.It was ha
Chapter 143: Find a Weakness
CHARLES’ MIND suddenly went down memory lane. In the blink of an eye, he saw himself going back decades ago, standing in front of their master’s bedroom where Clementine was shouting while a midwife was instructing her some things.“You can do this, Clementine…” said Charles as he leaned on the wall, and gritted his teeth while preventing himself from crying.His heartbeat thumped drastically. It was a special day in his and Clementine's life, and as much as he wanted to accompany her with the pain, Clementine requested for him to stay outside until the end of the process.Inside the room, Clementine was holding tightly onto the bed sheet. There's a thick face towel on her mouth to prevent herself from biting onto her tongue.“Scream

THAT COMMAND lingered in Sapphire’s mind until she was in the Remington Corporation. She had so many things to do.Her mind was filled with tasks as time passed, but now that she was alone, sitting at her office while staring at the ceiling, she tried thinking of how to destroy Samantha’s reputation.With some evidence that would be hard to deny, of course. She doesn’t want to end up like August as it would affect the Remington Corporation’s standing.“Should I call Daphne?” Sapphire asked herself, tapping her fingers on the table. That option lasted for a few seconds before shaking her head. “No. That bitch would kill me.”Special friends— Friends for the worst days of their lives. It doesn’t mean she cou
Chapter 145: They're The Same
‘SHIT, NO!’ Samantha reacted at the back of her mind. ‘Postpone everything except our wedding! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!’She wanted to shout that to Jake, but she knew she couldn’t. For Jake, she’s a bitch who seduced his son. Even if that was true, Samantha still couldn’t help but get hurt every time he criticized her.“But father—”“Shut up or I may change my mind. I’m not talking to you,” Jake interrupted Samantha, who was about to disagree with his command. “I’ll… I’ll ask help from the Wellington family about this and ask if they can do something.”Bruce and Nicole, who was just silent while sitting on the couch, knew that Jake hated seeking help more than anyone else. However, despite how chaotic the situation was, Nicole couldn’t help but smile. Starting that day, when she brought her family’s name again, Jake wasn’t able to do everything he wanted that easily.If she decided to be weak as before, Jake would bring Bruce to his office again and do some things
Chapter 146: Don't Look For Dead People
A WEEK later, the rumors about Samantha went down the drain with the help of the Wellington family. It was almost non-existent in the news. However, as a condition, Samantha needed to withdraw the case.“I realized… I should forgive everyone who did something bad to me,” said Samantha in a press conference while wiping her fake tears. “I decided not to file a case anymore. I just hope he’ll change now…”Samantha was clever for thinking that was to escape the humiliation. Still, Sapphire’s main goal was achieved. She was able to taint Samantha’s reputation, and she even stopped filing the case at her own will, too.August could only shake his head. He knew that it was for the drama. While watching the news in the cafeteria, in which the small television was plac
Chapter 147: Revenge is Best Served Cold
SUDDENLY, fear crept onto August’s skin upon hearing George’s deadly question. There wasn't a hint of any emotions in his eyes except for coldness and intimidation. He gulped twice, wondering how people inside this prison could kill anyone just because they violated a rule.If he didn’t return the phone to Mill at that time, he would be the one who got killed by the police!“I’m kidding this time,” said George after a moment of silence. He was the only one who laughed while looking at August’s entertaining reactions, but August felt the opposite.‘Fuck that,’ were the words he wanted to say, but he decided to purse his lips instead. ‘I’m glad I’m going to get out of this place anytime soon. I don’t want to be here anymore with these crazy people.’“Don’t worry. I just want your cooperation. The Blackbell prison should maintain its name as the country’s most feared prison despite giving the proper justice,” George explained. His expression was softer this time. “I can trust you that
