Ian grabbed the painting under the bed and violently smashed it on the floor, splitting it in half.

He shoved it to the fireplace and watched it as it was slowly consumed by fire.

He had asked for updates regarding Brandon's whereabouts but still his subordinates didn't give him any positive reports.

They have located his mansion but still there's no  sign of him.

News of hunting down the artist T.K in the black market also circulated.

They thought he must've swindled the Lee family's only heir that's why he's being hunted down.

Ian slumped down the couch and looked at Tia.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest thinking about how scared she must've been that she had fainted.

He promised that he will keep her safe but he still failed to do so.

He hates the fact that he couldn't protect her like he was supposed to do.

Meanwhile in an inconspicuous old abandoned building, a girl dressed in a maid outfit was hanged upside down.

Her hands were tied at the back of her hands and her mouth was covered by a white cloth.
