“Why are you reading about him? He’s just a scumbag!” A woman’s voice sounded.
Samuel’s frusade teaching assistant, a former college of Emelie, was one of the few individuals privy to the truth.
She walked over with a coffee and, upon seeing William’s Image on Samuel’s phone, felt disgusted.
To her, William murdered his wife. It seemed grossly unfair that such a criminal was thriving. If she had evidence, she would have reported him without besitation.
Samuel remarked, “I happened to walk past the Cedonian language classroom yesterday and overheard Mr. Landon’s lecture. Ancient wisdom often holds profound relevance. There was a saying that resonated with me.”
The teaching assistant pondered for a moment, “Mr. Lanilon’s lecture yesterday.. Are you referring to the saying, ‘When the world wishes to destroy someone, it first drives them mad?“”
Samoel smiled. “Doesn’t this seem like a case of making someone complacent only to bring them down?”
“But who could possibly bring the Xanther Group and Cloudex down, considering their current standing?” she questioned
Samuel replied nonchalantly, “I’m in no rush, so why should you be?”
The teaching assistant pursed her lips. “It’s nearly May, marking a year since Ms. Haven’s departure”
Samuel contemplated this for a moment. Indeed, the hunt in the wild had occurred in May of the previous year.
He said, “Once I finish this project, I’ll get 15 days of vacation, right?”
es,” the teaching assistant confirmed.
Samuel nodded. “In that case, I submit a report to request for a trip to Ballz.”
The teaching assistant was surprised. “Baliz? For a vacation?”
Samuel picked up his coffee and blew on the steam. Then, he smiled. “To visit family.”
The teaching assistant was puzzled. Who could Samuel possibly be visiting?
Samuel offered no further explanation. He walked to the window and gazed into the distance.
He thought about what he said and wondered if there was anything he could help her with. If not, he would prepare diligently at home for her return.
The
he seasons changed, and it was spring again
As the parmership between the Xanther Group and the Aurora Group entered its second year, their relationship deepened, evolving from a purely business–oriented alliance to a friendship
They even received an invitation from the Aurora Group’s elderly chairman to his daughter’s wedding during the first snowfall of the year in Baliz Charles held the invitation close to his nose and inhaled deeply. “It even snells good. No wonder the Aurora Group is one of Faldoria’s biggest companies. They have taste, but this scent seems vaguely familiar…”
What was it? He felt as though he had smelled it somewhere before.
William recognized the smell of citrus and lily of the valley, a fragrance that was all too familiar, like Emelie’s..
His eyes darkened abruptly.
However, upon closer inspection, something was amiss. Emelie never wore such intense floral perfumes. The scent was undeniably familiar, but he
‘t be sure.
Bryan set the invitation aside. I’ve heard that Mr. Renmad is childless. The daughter he mentioned is actually his niece. Although she was adopted, he afores her. As a birthday gift this year, he gave her a portion of the Aurora Group’s shares. As a dowry, he reportedly granted her another substantial amount of shares.”
Beathan was perceptive. He asked, “What’s her name?”
Charles motioned with his chin. “The Invitation states Themis, the goddess of justice in Greek mythology.”
Beathan, unfamiliar with the name, glanced at the invitation again. “Typically, there would be photographs of the bride and groom. Why are there none?” Charles said jokingly, “Maybe they wanted to appear mysterious.
William’s fingers traced the Faldorian name “Themis” on the invitation, his brow furrowing slightly.
Bryan said, “50 of our labs with the Aurora Group have been completed. The final six will be finished before this winter. We should attend this wedding to gauge the Aurora Group’s interest in further collaboration. Mr. Middleton, what are your thoughts?”
Willian remained silent, his expression was dark.
Bryan called out again, “Mr. Middleton?

William pursed his lips. He closed the invitation and placed it back on the table.
Then, he said in a cold voice, “Since we received an invitation, of course we have to attend.”
