Kanaya parked the Marvel car she had borrowed in Marvel's garage. This house is located in a luxury housing with a strategic location. No wonder it is equivalent to 10 times the price of a regular house.

Opening the door of the front house, the one Kanaya saw first was a man with a cold aura who was sitting on the sofa facing the door. Meeting Marvel's gaze, Kanaya turned her face away with a guilty conscience.

Kanaya walked slowly towards Marvel with her head down. Sitting in front of Marvel obediently. Like a student who will be scolded by a teacher for making a mistake.

Seeing the well-behaved girl before him, Marvel's annoyance disappeared without a trace. Exhaling a rough breath, Marvel tried to soften his facial expression. He could not bear to scold this little girl.

"Don't I tell you you're going on a week off?"

Kanaya looked at Marvel with a frown, "i'm bored okay?"

"Bored?" narrowing his eyes, Marvel asked unhurriedly. "It's okay to sneak out. But what about fighting?"

"You're spying on me?!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Kanaya was silent at this moment. Shouldn't the man in front of him have issued an argument to deny it? Does he not know how to argue? This guy doesn't want his face anymore? Is it easy to compromise?

If Sean and David heard Kanaya's heart they would definitely scream dissatisfied. Marvel is the hardest human being to compromise, okay?

"They attacked me first." Kanaya is still trying to find a defense.

Marvel stared at Kanaya intensely. His indifferent pupils were full of oppression. Kanaya who was looked at like that increasingly felt guilty.

Looking at Kanaya who was about to bury her head, Marvel sighed helplessly. What else can Marvel do but forgive him? Marvel can't wait to pamper Kanaya to the sky okay?

At night in Marvel's office right now, Marvel and Luke are sitting opposite each other. Luke initially wants to go see his friends, but suddenly his father calls him. Luke wondered if there was a big problem. Marvel rarely calls Luke.

Marvel stared at the niece he had raised as his own son. "Luke, you're a big boy. And I'm sure you know I'm not your real father either."

"Yes, I know everything." Luke clenched his hands tightly.

"How far do you know?"

Luke looked at Marvel bitterly, his voice trembling slightly. "I know you killed my parents." Luke's fist grew tighter, his knuckles turning white quickly.

Hearing Luke's reply, Marvel nodded slowly. "Who told you such trashy news?"

"Not to deny it anymore. I've heard it all from my mother's family." Luke lowered his head, trying to cover up the hatred in his eyes.

"Didn't I forbid you from hanging out with them?"

"Why? Afraid I'd find out about your family's rottenness?"

Marvel stared at his adopted son furiously. Saying cruel facts. "Steve's family has been dumping your mother since she was fifteen years old because of slander from Steve's family business rival. If it wasn't my brother who helped her, your mother would have starved to death under the bridge."

Luke lifted his head, staring at Marvel in disbelief. "You lied to me."

"Aren't you Arkane's heir?" Luke couldn't believe his ears. Wasn't his father the true heir of Arkane? What the hell's going on?

"Since you were born, the seat of the Arkane family's head is yours. Your own grandfather made a will." Marvel dropped a heavier information bomb.

Without a word Marvel pulled out a stack of papers from his desk drawer. Leave it to Luke who is still in a daze.

Luke looked at Marvel with a question mark. Read the files Marvel gave us one by one. The more Luke read, the paler his face became. His paper-wielding cry shook violently. His eyes were red as if restraining an emotion that would be violently turbulent.

Taking a deep breath, Luke stared at Marvel flatly. His eyes showed deep complexity. Between disbelief and heartache, all emotions are mixed. "Is all this true?"

"You can hire a detective to verify." Marvel answered briefly.

"Let me calm myself first." Luke lowered his head. His brain was buzzing loudly, his mind was in a state of chaos.

How could the person he thought was evil turn out to be the one who always helped him? How can he be kind to someone who wants to hurt him? Is his brain flooded? Now Luke realizes how stupid he was.

"I know you're having a hard time accepting all this. But not much time left. Luke, you have to grow as fast as you can." Marvel could not bear to see his son despair, but there was no other choice. Luke will be the head of the Arkane family, he will have to bear a great responsibility.

Luke stared faintly at Marvel, "yes, dad."

"One more thing, disconnect your current boyfriend."

Luke stared at Marvel in disbelief, "Dad, what's your max?" How did her father tell her to decide on Julia? She is the girl he loves.

"He's not a good thing." Without explaining more Marvel handed Luke a thick envelope.

Luke opened the envelope quickly, then his eyes went from uncertainty to pain. He saw one photo at a time inside the envelope. It was all an intimate photo of Julia with many different men. There was even one of his own good friends. And Julia's face didn't look like it was forced at all. His face was full of happiness.

Luke is so heartbroken now, he always thought of Julia as a kind innocent girl. She really loved Julia sincerely. But reality slapped him hard. What a pure naive girl? This is simply ******with no intrigue at all.

Seeing Luke so silent, Marvel said something that he thought was very upsetting. "He approached you because you're the heir to the Arkane family. But it remains unclear where he got the news from. You have to investigate it well."

After that Marvel got up from his chair, walking out of the room. Give Luke time to think things through. Before closing the door, Marvel once again reminded Luke. "You have to learn fast. I'll send Sean to follow you."

Luke didn't answer, neither did Marvel need Luke's answer. Marvel closed the door, stared at the door for a moment, his eyes filled with attachment. He couldn't bear to see Luke being hit hard like this. Marvel has raised Luke like their own son. But there's no other choice. Luke must inherit his father's seat.

In the room Luke was still drowned limply. The information he got today was too great for him. He should digest it slowly.

...

On the other hand Julia is still having fun with the other guy at the night club. Dancing back and forth between many rich men. Not realizing that his biggest backer will be gone from now on.
