Fixing a Broken Heart

Chapter 19

"We can trust them, right?" asked Max with a frown. He seemed displeased to see so many people gathered at the villa. "This villa should be secluded and isolated, not a party area like this."

Tul laughed. He rubbed the frown on Max's forehead affectionately. "Relax a little, Baby. I know Doctor Phana well. He may look stiff, but he has excellent manners and attentions. What he says is good and what he believes is also good. I mean, about Doctor Kit and his partner, Ming. "

"All right," Max said after staring at Tul for a moment.

Tul and Max walked back into the living room, joining the others. Beam smiled at them, to which Tul smiled and a nod by Max.

However Max doubts Beam, suspecting his sudden existence beside Forth, he cannot doubt the look of love in Beam's eyes towards his best friend and also the gentle and caring behavior shown by Forth to Beam.

Max really loves and protects Forth. He is a very focused and strict person when it comes to the protection and safety arrangements of Forth. Gary Jamorhnoom himself — Forth's father, asked him to look after Forth.

Park, Lam, even his lover-Tul, seem to have received Beam so far. Maybe he too should start lowering his fort and receive Beam. Forth looks different after the Beam. And that's a good thing.

"Forth, I have arranged some of our trusted people to follow Stiff and Rose. In the meantime, we can't ask for a complete restriction on them because the case files are still being discussed by the lawyers," Tul reported to Forth. "They are really using the money they stole from us to find a reliable lawyer and are doing their best to find loopholes to debunk any of our charges."

"Hearing the story from Park and Lam about Stefan, who was appointed by Beam as Stiff, I also started to dig further about the background," continued Max. "So far, because we trusted him too much as a good friend and part of our inner circle of the family, it must be admitted that we missed his background check. We trusted him too much."

"How did you start out so close with Stiff and Rose that they finally realized they were traitors?" Phana asked curiously. He had heard a little bit about the two of them, especially about the triangular relationship between Forth, Stiff, and Rose.

Forth sighed. Beam caressed Forth's knee gently, giving him the strength to tell another story.

"My father brought Stiff when he was fifteen. He saved my father from an accident and broke his own leg. Stiff was alone and seeing his courage, my father decided to take him as a foster child. My father educated Stiff well, until he mastered accounting and finance very well. He's the same age as my twins brothers, but Dad asked him to work with me after I started running my own company with my friends. During his time with my family, Stiff was very close to me. "

"Rose is our high school friend. She openly shows that she likes Forth. She doesn't care that Forth always ignores her. Apparently Rose asked Stiff for help to approach Forth, until finally Forth was willing to be his boyfriend," said Lam. "Rose is a beautiful, smart, and fun girl. We all love her. She gave us lots of fresh ideas when we started the company after graduating from college. We made Rose head of personnel at our company because she was flexible and sociable."

"You finally learned about Stiff and Rose's betrayal after Phi Forth started receiving mysterious letters containing intimate photos of Stiff and Rose?" asked Wayo. He looked at Forth with a look of concern and made Phana elbow his waist.

"We had some suspicions before that," said Park. "We discussed that, but Forth really trusts Stiff. He may not love Rose too much, but he loves Stiff like his own brother."

"Besides, when our suspicions grew, Rose suddenly confessed that she was pregnant," muttered Forth. "I've slept with her a few times, but I always used a safety guard because to be honest, I didn't really love her and didn't expect to have children with her. The last night before Rose admitted to being pregnant, I was drunk and when I came back to the apartment, Rose was already there. I, after chatting for a while, went straight to sleep, but Rose has photos that show evidence that we slept together that night and she said I wasn't wearing a guard, so she was pregnant."

"Does she really have a habit of taking photos when you sleep together, Phi Forth?" asked Ming with furrowed brows.

Forth shook his head. "Of course not. I won't allow it."

"Then why did she take the photo on purpose that night? As if he was doing it on purpose just in case you deny what happened that night?"

Park patted Ming on the shoulder in satisfaction. "You're smart and critical. Hey, Forth, we really need to recruit Ming into our company."

Forth smiled and nodded. "You can submit your application and resume immediately to Tul."

Ming's face beamed. Internships or work in the Galaxy Engineering Corps is the dream of every engineering student. Being able to do an internship there is a guarantee that one day you will get a high paying job and a good career.

Ming has worked for his uncle's company that is engaged in the procurement of heavy equipment and is connected to the Galaxy Engineering Corps, but he also hopes that one day he will be directly in the circle of the Galaxy Engineering Corps itself.

Max's phone vibrates. He came out of the living room and spoke intently on the terrace. Max's face was angry.

Tul looked at him with a frown and then walked over to Max. They seemed to be talking seriously together. Everyone in the living room watched the two of them.

"What is wrong?" asked Forth, when Max and Tul returned to the living room.

Max sighed and looked at Forth for a moment then turned to Kit and Ming. "You can't go back home this afternoon as originally planned."

Kit and Ming looked at each other. Kit's voice trembled as he asked, gripping Ming's hand tightly, "Wh-why?"

"Your house was burned down last night by Stiff's men."
