Of course, Charlie knew Rufus quite well. There would be no holding him back once he had his mind set on doing something.

There was nothing he could do but heave a heavy sigh, shaking his head trying to learn to live with it.

Rufus squinted his eyes, contemplating what could possibly be going through his mind.

As of late, the Dawn Star Group had begun making its moves, as if to get themselves ready to go head-to-head with the Tang Group. Taking Arthur's radical course of actions into consideration, any normal person with a decent set of eyes would be able to figure out that he was scheming to take down the Tang group.

'But... Tang Group has been my target all this time. How can I simply let others do as they please and lay a finger in my pie?' Rufus thought deeply.

A cold-hearted look briefly radiated from his hunter-like sharp eyes.

If the Dawn Star Group could be likened to a fierce wolf, then he himself would become a ferocious hunter. There was no way in hell he would ever allow Arthur to stick his nose into his prey when he should just be quietly minding his own business.

Cassandra had been hospitalized for about a week. During that time, the police came for a visit in order to interview her. But in the end, the entire investigation inadvertently came to a dead end.

The accident Cassandra had gotten involved in occurred in a secluded place without any surveillance cameras set up in the area. So, the two men had managed to flee from the scene without leaving a trace, making it a gargantuan task for the police investigators to track them.

The accident then became an unresolved case. What seemed strange though, was that Cassandra barely said anything, save for a few choice words, to the police about the issue when they were asking her.

"I did no such thing!"

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...

It even came to a point where she got divorced and turned around to throw herself into another man's arms. Still, all he could do was try not to stand in her way, silently staying with her whenever she'd reach a bump in the road, suffering and enduring the pain from her every misfortune.
