e Ferrari continued down the road, with Kylan still in high spirits. He couldn’t stop smiling as he occasionally recalled Adrian’s expression when Marcus forced him to kneel.
However, as they approached Betty’s house, Marcus suddenly slowed down. Instead of driving directly to he entrance, he parked a considerable distance away.
Kylan turned toward him.
“What’s wrong? Why are we stopping here p>
Marcus switched off the engine and looked at him.
“Listen. Don’t tell your sister about what happened today p>
Kylan frowned. “What? Why p>
Marcus sighed.
“I don’t want her knowing about it p>
Kylan stared at him for a moment before shaking his head. “Seriously? You paid three hundred thousand dollars for wine today, and after everything that happened, I’m now very certain you actually own this Ferrari. But why are you hiding all this from my sister p>
Marcus leaned back in his seat.
“Look, it’s complicated p>
“Complicated? How p>
“Just agree not to tell her p>
Kylan folded his arms, looking unconvinced.
Marcus glanced at him before adding, “If you agree, I’ll give you the three bottles of wine p>
Kylan’s expression immediately changed. “Really p>
“Yes p>
His face lit up.
“Hahaha! Deal! Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me p>
Marcus shook his head, then restarted the engine.
A few minutes later, they arrived at Betty’s house. After parking the Ferrari, the two stepped out and walked toward the entrance. Marcus knocked, and shortly afterward, Betty appeared.
“Where have you two been?” she asked, looking between them. “I was starting to get worried. Are you both okay p>
Marcus nodded.
“Yeah, we’re fine. Kylan just decided to have some fun before coming back p>
Betty turned toward her brother.

“He disturbed you p>
Marcus scoffed.
“No p>
Kylan immediately looked at him, but Marcus ignored him.
After exchanging a few words with Betty, Marcus turned as though he was about to leave.
“Alright, I’ll be going now p>
“Wait,” Betty called. “Why don’t you stay and eat something? You’ve been out all evening p>
Marcus hesitated.
“That’s alright. I don’t want to disturb you p>
Before Betty could respond, Kylan suddenly stepped forward with his usual goofy expression.
“Mmm, but you’re his boyfriend. You should stay and eat p>
Betty’s eyes widened. “WHAT? He’s not my boyfriend p>
She immediately turned toward Kylan. “Just shut up p>
Kylan burst into laughter, clearly enjoying her reaction.
Marcus, meanwhile, couldn’t help but scoff.
“Alright, I’ll stay p>
Betty glanced at him, trying to hide her embarrassment.
“Good. Come inside p>
Marcus stepped into the house, taking a moment to look around. Although the room was relatively small, it was beautifully arranged, with neatly organized furniture, warm lighting, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Everything seemed carefully placed, giving the little apartment a surprisingly elegant appearance.
“Make yourself comfortable,” Betty said before heading toward the kitchen.
Marcus nodded and settled onto the sofa while Kylan wandered around. Soon, Betty began preparing dinner, and the sound of cooking filled the quiet apartment.
Meanwhile, Marcus’s eyes slowly roamed around the room. He examined the decorations, the furniture, and the few pictures hanging on the wall. However, one particular photograph suddenly caught his attention.
His expression changed.
He immediately stood up and walked closer to it. The photograph showed two men standing side by side, smiling at the camera. Marcus recognized the second man almost instantly. He was the same person whose photograph he had seen with Ms. Leah.
Julia’s father!
Marcus swallowed, staring at the photograph in disbelief.
At that moment, Betty walked out of the kitchen and noticed him standing in front of it.

“That’s my father, the one at the left side”. she said, pointing at the man on the left.
Marcus slowly turned toward her.
“Your father p>
Betty nodded. “Yes p>
Marcus glanced back at the photograph before asking, “Where is he now p>
Betty sighed. “I thought I told you. He’s dead p>
{Julia’s project site}
The construction site was unusually busy that afternoon. Several workers were moving around the nearly completed foundation, carrying materials, inspecting the structures, and making final adjustments.
Standing beside the project supervisor, Julia examined the construction plans before looking toward the building.
“How long before we complete this section?” she asked.
“Ma’am, if everything goes according to plan, we should be able to finish the foundation work within a few days,” the supervisor answered.
Julia nodded approvingly.
“Good. Make sure everything is done properly. I don’t want us rushing the work and compromising the quality p>
“Understood, ma’am p>
She glanced around the site. Only a handful of her security guards remained with her. Most of the others had already left after she told them there was no need for everyone to stay. She hadn’t expected anything unusual to happen, and she didn’t want to put unnecessary pressure on them.
However, a few minutes later, the sound of approaching engines suddenly filled the area.
Julia turned her head.
One vehicle appeared, followed by another, then several more. Within moments, approximately ten expensive- looking vehicles had stopped around the construction site.
“What is going on?” Julia muttered.
Before anyone could respond, their doors began opening. Men dressed in dark clothes rushed out. Some carried guns, while others held different weapons and dangerous instruments. They spread out quickly, surrounding the construction site.
Julia’s expression changed. “Who are these people p>
The project supervisor looked terrified.
“I… I don’t know, ma’am p>
Suddenly, one of the men raised his weapon and fired into the air.
BANG! BANG! BANG!

“EVERYBODY DOWN p>
The entire construction site erupted into chaos.
Workers dropped their tools and began running in every direction. Some screamed as they desperately searched for somewhere to hide, while others abandoned their equipment and rushed toward the exit.
Julia stepped backward, her eyes widening.
“What’s happening p>
Her remaining guards immediately moved toward her.
“Protect the madam p>
However, the situation was quickly getting out of control. More vehicles continued arriving, and the number of attackers kept increasing. Within minutes, nearly a hundred armed men had surrounded the area.
The guards attempted to form a protective line, but they were heavily outnumbered.
Gunshots suddenly erupted from several directions.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The guards ducked as bullets struck nearby structures. They tried to return fire, but there were simply too many
attackers.
“Retreat! We can’t hold them p>
One guard grabbed his injured colleague and pulled him behind a concrete structure. Another tried to reach Julia, but several armed men blocked his path.
The situation had become unbearable.
Julia stood frozen, unable to understand how something like this could happen.
Suddenly, one of her guards rushed toward her. “Ma’am p>
Julia turned.
“We have to leave! Right now p>
“But… what about the workers p>
“Ma’am, please! We can’t save everyone right now. We have to get you out of here p>
More gunshots rang out, followed by the terrifying sound of bullets striking the surrounding structures.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The guard grabbed her arm.
“Ma’am, right now! If we don’t leave, we’re going to die here p>
Julia looked around one last time. She could see workers running for their lives, while the few remaining guards struggled to protect themselves.
“But p>

“PLEASE, MA’AM p>
Pally, Julia gave in. She turned and began running with the guard, desperately trying to escape the construction site. Behind them, gunshots continued ringing through the air as the armed men advanced.
