On the way to the airport.

Steven looked at the time on his phone irritably. He ordered the driver repeatedly, "Hurry up!".

The driver's expression darkened and he replied, "Sir, I'm already driving as fast as I can. I can't go any faster!"

Steven glanced at his watch and lowered his head as he looked at his phone again.

He had been looking for Kesha over the past few days after she disappeared, especially after the video leaked out on the Internet earlier that morning. Others may not know about it, but Steven knew clearly that it was Kesha who had leaked the video.

The only ones who knew about this matter were but a few. Felix was no longer in Rosaville City. Therefore, apart from him, Kesha was the sole suspect. He traced the source of this video and went to investigate hurriedly. He eventually got a result that was far worse than what he had expected.

All the information on the Internet showed that the video was posted by him.

Steven gritted his teeth and thought, "You're so cruel, Kesha!"

Fortunately, after his thorough investigation, he received news an hour ago that Kesha was going to leave the country. Therefore, he came to catch her. He arrived at the airport soon after.

Steven got out of the car hastily and rushed into the airport.

However, what happened was beyond his expectations. He looked around a few times but failed to replace any trace of Kesha.

"Could it be that I've been tricked?" Steven thought to himself.

At this moment, a few men in black suddenly appeared behind him. Before he could even react, they had pressed against his back.

The icy sensation sent chills down his spine.

"If you don't want to die, then follow us right now."

Steven frowned and asked, "Who are you guys?"

"We are your enemy of course!"

Steven frowned. Before he could even react, he felt a wave of pain in his head and he was instantly knocked out.

At the same time, Amos was speeding along the highway when he received a text message from Steven all of a sudden.

"Don't you want to replace me to get revenge on your woman? Come to this place, and we will settle our accounts once and for all!" The message read.

Attached to the message was the address of a deserted mountain in Rosaville City.

Clint glanced at the message and immediately advised, "President Granger, be careful! It might be a trap! This is unlike Young Master Steven's character."

Clint was right. Steven had always been an overly-ambitious coward.

No matter what the situation was, he would never have the courage to take the initiative to challenge him!

However, Amos still insisted to go.

"Steven may not be the one who sent this text message, but how did the person who sent this message know that I was looking for Steven? Unless this person is the real culprit," Amos analyzed. Although Amos' analysis made sense, Clint was still worried about his safety.

"But, the other party must've been well-prepared to confront you head-on."

"I know what I'm doing," Amos responded. Then, he called for the driver and Clint, "Stop by the front. You two, get out of the car and return home."

Clint was shocked and he immediately refused, "No, President Granger. It's too dangerous. I'll go with you!"

Amos shook his head and rejected, 'Tm getting justice for my woman. I will go by myself!"

He immediately closed the door and started the car.

The driver, who was standing next to Clint, gave a look of panic.

"Assistant Zuckerberg, what should we do?" The driver asked.

"What should we do? Hurry up and replace a car for us to head home," Clint replied.

After that, he immediately called Harley. President Granger must have lost his mind this time. It seemed that only Mr. Louis could save this situation!

Further investigations showed that the text message was sent from the deserted mountain in Rosaville City. Amos recalled that he had been here before. It was the mountain where TAG Group had previously noticed Eudora's design blueprint to build an entertainment town.

However, they only noticed the back whereas Amos was instructed to head over to the front of the mountain.

The front of the building had yet to be developed. Therefore, it was very desolate and had a very steep slope over it. When Amos finally reached the area, he arrived at the top of the hill according to the clues left by the other party. Then, he realized that Steven was tied to a hanging branch.

There was a steep slope beneath them. It was very frightening to see at first glance.

Steven recovered from his shock upon seeing Amos.

"Amos? So it was you! It's you who wanted to kill me!" Steven yelled.

Amos frowned and said, "I do want to kill you. But if I really wanted to, I would've killed you with my own two hands instead of hanging you up there!"

Steven was nervous and scared. He couldn't understand what Amos meant for a moment.

"So what if you are the President of Valiant East? If you kill me, you will pay for your crime and you'll be imprisoned!" Steven yelled again.

Amos was a little speechless. Then, he said sarcastically, "No wonder Uncle Harry lost!"

Harry Granger had schemed for such a long time when he was still alive. If Steven was a capable young man, their family could have ruled Valiant East a long time ago when Amos was in a mess due to the incident that had happened to Eudora at that time. However, Steven was still a good-for-nothing. Even though they had sent him abroad for many years, he was still useless.

Steven understood what Amos was saying, "Are you mocking me? I haven't even settled my accounts with you. He was still your Uncle Harry. How could you kill him for your own desire?"

Amos was stunned and he rebutted, "Who told you that it was me who killed your father?"

Looking at Steven's serious expression, Amos finally understood why Steven had suddenly become so hostile towards him.

Speaking of which, back then, even though Steven had other motives, he still remained friendly with him on the surface. He didn't realize when or why Steven's intention had gradually become so obvious after that!

Now that he thought about it, someone must have misled Steven by saying that he was the one who killed Harry.

"Don't act dumb with me! There's no such thing as a coincidence! When you found my father, he was already dead. It was obvious that you wanted to kill my father as he didn't want you to be with Eudora. My parents were just your scapegoats!" Steven accused.

Amos was very amused by Steven's irrelevant logic.

"I was already living with Eudora in the Granger Mansion at that time. Was there any need for me to do that?" Amos asked in return.

"Both of you lived together, but you couldn't announce your relationship to the public," Steven replied.

Amos was speechless. "Whatever you say then! I just want to tell you one thing. I really don't know what happened to Uncle Harry at that time. I had just found out that he was devising some plans behind our back when he died all of a sudden. It has nothing to do with me."

"If that's the case, who killed my father then? It's impossible for him to commit suicide," Steven replied.

Amos' expression turned solemn. He asked, "Who told you that I killed your father?" He felt that the answer was the key.

Steven didn't hide the truth as he answered, "It's Aunt Bethany! She was the closest person to Uncle..."

Amos' eyes dimmed. He had always thought that Bethany had only become greedy when they began to fight for the property. However, it seemed that she had an ulterior motive long ago. This motive could even be traced back to the time when Old Master Granger hadn't passed away yet...

Amos frowned and said, "Perhaps you should ask yourself what kind of a person Bethany really is."

Steven was awestruck by Amos' response.

He had initially thought that Bethany was a nice person. However, as he interacted with her through the days, he realized that she was actually much more terrifying than he had ever imagined.
