In the president’s office of the SY Group’s Easton branch office, Kirk was staring at his phone with a dark gaze. He looked like he wanted to burn a hole through the device with his glare.
Standing opposite him, Charles felt like he was having an out–of–body experience. He was holding his breath and trying his best to be as unobtrusive as possible.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the phone was smashed to pieces on the ground.
Charles was frightened as he looked up at Kirk. Seeing Kirk’s expression, he felt his breath leave his body.
The Kirk before him now was like a wild beast. His eyes were terrifyingly red and shining with a monstrous light.
Charles swallowed and clenched his fists. Finally, he braced himself and said, “Sir, we’re really trying our best.
“Right now, we only found out that Dolly is… an actress with Oakes Theater. We also know that
she will be coming to Easton soon!”
“What good is that information? What good is it?” Kirk roared at Charles.
This was the first time Charles had ever seen Kirk lose his cool to such an extent.
“At least, no… If we find Dolly, maybe we’ll be able to find out who that mystery person is.”
Kirk held himself up with both hands on the desk. He glared grimly at Charles, silent.
Kirk was even more terrifying when he looked this way. Charles really wanted to find somewhere
to hide.
After a moment, the silence in the office was broken by Kirk’s chilling voice. “Get out!”
Charles quickly escaped from the office.

After he had stayed on the floor for god knows how long, there was a knock on the door. He
seemed to hear it, but he wasn’t sure. He was in a daze that made him feel like he was
sleepwalking.
It was chly until a punch landed on his nose, causing him to bleed, that Kirk saw clearly who had
come.
It was Sean.
Sean was furious as he grabbed Kirk’s collar. “Kirk, look at yourself now.”
He dragged Kirk before the full–length mirror, showing Kirk just what he looked like now.
Kirk looked like someone had killed his dog. He looked like someone who had completely given
up on himself.
Sean stared at Kirk in the mirror and said ruthlessly. “Is this person in the mirror still you?
“In the past, you handled everything easily whenever you faced an impossible challenge. And
now? How did you become so weak?”
Sean was here because Charles had called him. Charles had found the situation too strange,
which was why he called for help once he had left Kirk’s office
Sean knew that something big had happened and had swiftly rushed over
When he had come in, he had found Kirk sprawled on the ground, looking as if his soul had been
sucked out of his body
Kirk wouldn’t respond, no matter how many times Sean called out Impulsively, Sean had
punched Kirk
At least the punch had managed to make Kirk regain some of his senses
Kirk wiped the blood from his face, but half his body was still slumped. “Then tell me what I
should do now Caroline wants to divorce me! What do I do?”
Sean was completely taken aback for a second. “Weren’t you two fine just a few days ago?”
Kirk grinned mockingly “If you don’t have any ideas, get the fuck out!” He pointed at the door as a
vein pulsed at his temple
Sean eyed the door. After trying to hold it in, he exploded He punched Kirk in the face again.
“You’re an awful bastard. Are you a man or not? What’s the use of giving up on yourself? Are you
the only one in pain? What about Caroline?”
