The atmosphere in Tan's manor was a little busy. The servants were walked back and forth doing the errands. The sound of children screaming and crying filled the big house.

"Daddy...!!!" a little girl age around 8 ran toward a man who just came out of the car. She jumped into the man's arms.

"Where are your brother and sister?' asked the man, stroking the girl's head.

"Inside. Didi keeps crying. He misses Mommy...!' replied the girl.

"Let's get inside...!" said the man, hugged the girl by her shoulder, and walked into the house.

The driver unloaded his suitcase and carried it inside.

A toddler ran to the man and extend his hands, asking the man to carry him. The man carried him and kissed his forehead.

"I want Mommy..." the toddler said with his small voice. he rubbed his eyes that still wet after he cried just now.

The man brought the little boy into a hug. A woman came and took over the little boy from his father. But the boy grabbed his father's neck and grip on it tightly.

"I don't want...! I don't want...! I want Daddy...!" the boy wailed around.

"Danny... Go with Aunty San first, ok? Later Daddy plays with you...!" the man removed the boy's grip from his neck.

"I don't want... I want Mommy..." the boy sniffled.

"Jie! Bring Danny to play!" said the man to his eldest daughter.

The earlier girl came and took over the boy. Even he hesitated, but the boy eventually let his sister brings him out of the room.

After the children and other servants were gone, the man approached the big chair that placed in the center of the room, near the sofa. He slammed himself on it, raised his legs, and placed them on the leg stool. He laid back on the backrest. A Butler came.

"Young Master Charles...?" the butler greeted him.

The man lifted his head and turned to the butler.

"How did it happen?" asked The man.

"The police found the body of Master Tan yesterday from the reservoir...!" said the butler.

"So they really kill him... I thought they only hide him...,." mumbled the man. He turned his gaze on the floor.

"And another body has founded..." said the butler.

"Who's that again?" the man was surprised and snapped his gaze to the butler.

"Your youngest brother, Sir... they found him has been mutilated and placed his body parts inside the garbage bag and left it inside the alley in the town...!" said the butler.

'No... No way... Why always our family?' the man's voice was shaken.

"Maybe it's karma, Sir...! He cheated you by having an affair with your wife and ruthlessly killed his own father...!" replied the butler.

"But not in this way..." muttered the man.

"And the police asked about the wheelchair, Sir!"

"And what did you say?" asked the man.

"I told them that you kept it since Master has missing. You're not supposed to help your wife by covering up her crime, Sir. In the end, the police still bring her to the jail...!" said the butler.

"I love her... And the children will miss her..." mumbled the man.

'But she did an unfair thing to you and she committed the crime by taking the role in Master's murder! can you still forgive her for what she has been done to your father, Sir?" the butler snapped.
