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
“DAPHNE!” shouted Nicole as she gave her daughter a deadly glare. “Stop with your nonsense!”Nicole and the rest of the Sandoval family were certain that the revenge Daphne was talking about isn't related to what Bruce and Harvey did to August, but to what Bruce did to Daphne before.“What? I’m not saying anything wrong!” Daphne defended herself and raised her hands.The side of her lips rose as she felt the joy traveling onto her body, and no, Daphne didn't have any plans to hide it.Not even on Samantha and Francis who were slightly confused because of the sudden tension in the room.The awkward silence was immediately filled by the voices of the reporters on the news.
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
Chapter 150: Like An Accident
ONLY the footsteps the three of them made were heard inside the room as George led the way. The management office didn't change a single bit compared to its appearance when he went there the previous day.The gold decorations still amused him, but the room isn't only good for its design and extravagance. The functionality was superb, too!“Wow!” August's lips parted in astonishment when one of the walls split in half, creating a way toward somewhere.“This is a secret passage toward the back door,” George explained when he saw the confusion in August's eyes.After that, he looked at the prison guard beside August. “You stay here. Don't let anyone come in until I go back.”“Yes, master.” The prison guard went onto the front door and made a standing position, while August and George took their way on the dark, tight road.Again, August was astounded when the dark room was filled with yellowish lights as they had their way inside. It looked like what he watched in the movies. The only di
Chapter 151: The Truth Revealed
A SMIRK formed on Francis’ lips as he ended the call. He threw the phone on his side and sat comfortably on the couch. The sound of the reporters on the television filled the room.He opened his television and set it on the news channel, just in case there would be breaking news about August’s sudden death.‘I just need to wait for the good news,’ said Francis at the back of his mind. He tapped the bed using his fingers as his smile widened. ‘You will be proud of me, dad. I will make you even prouder than Richard did.’Francis knew that Wesley would be mad at him if he ever knew about this plan, but he thought that if he could execute this perfectly, Wesley would praise him for being a good decision-maker.He couldn’t wait
Chapter 152: Secrets Inside The Box
SEEING how the box had nothing inside it, August couldn’t help but feel the irritation on the depths of his skin. If only he could raise his eyebrows higher than his head, he would do it without a hint of hesitation.“Shit,” August cursed as he laughed wickedly. “I hid this here for nothing?”August looked inside the box again. He tried moving it in different directions, checking if there were secret pockets he must have overlooked. He hoped that the box had something the same way he saw in the movies, but after minutes, he still found none.“Fuck it.” The annoyance was evident in his voice as he clicked his tongue and tilted his head, preventing himself from bursting into anger.He placed the necklace in his pocket and threw the box away, and coincidentally, it hit the mausoleum where he placed that damn expensive box beforehand. A sudden guilt rushed down August’s spine as he realized where he was. No matter how angry he was right now, he should respect Mrs. Johens’ grave. This is
