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

Chapter 144: Disgrace To The Sandoval Family

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

Chapter 148: Secret Investigation

Chapter 149: August's Release

“WHY can’t you?” asked Francis. The confusion was evident in his voice.“August was found innocent without any foul play, and it was final…” The tone of the police’s voice was too low since he knew that Francis would be mad at his answer. “We can’t undo the investigation,” the police added. “The only thing we could do right now was to file another case against him.”“If that was easy, I could have done it, you dimwit.” Francis almost wanted to smack the person on the other line if that was possible.Suddenly, he remembered Samantha’s attempt before to file a case against August, but her credentials were now destroyed because of the news circulating about him. They only managed to clean the news on the news channels, but not on the social media sites. Some people still knew about Samantha’s rumor of being an adopted child and took the credit for being the only child of the Evergreen family instead of the real daughter, Myra.“Shit,” Francis cursed as he realized he couldn’t use Saman
