Chasing After My Wife Chapter 219
Advertisement
After two hours of commotion, Lucian came to the meeting room to inform her about their investigations. She handed Jillyanna a flash drive and left right after.
Almost hundreds of employees were escorted to jail for further interrogation and investigation. This event was like a tornado swiping the media and all industries. It was because Travis has a lot of connections and they always wait for any new things from him that could benefit them. The reason why Jillyanna wasn't bombarded with reporters was also because of his connection.
However, they came over to J Entertainment official website since they knew it would always be Wynwyn who handles such matter.
Those people that sent spies over to Venus Plaza had cold sweat running down their spine. They didn't expect that the new CEO would be ruthless and would pull everyone who abused the company resources.
It was the first time that the police department was so crowded. They didn't know where to put the people they arrested and there were family members who came to check the employees, too.
Amidst the messy environment, a certain someone excused himself to use the comfort room. Ever since he was caught, he refused to talk and kept denying his involvement with the accident.
When no one was watching him, above the comfort room was an air duct that connects to all the air conditioner of the office building, he used it to escape and leave the chaotic scene. It was none other than Mr. Guevarra.
When David noticed that he wasn't back from the comfort room, it was already too late. He was gone from the station and out to the crowded city.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" David cursed and looked for Lucian immediately. He also asked Officer Nik to put a wanted notification online about the escapee. "Lucian, Mr. Guevarra escaped!"

"What?! How? When?" Lucian immediately asked someone to check on their CCTV monitor. The last time they saw him was when he got inside the comfort room. "Coordinate with the other stations and release the notice immediately. I will inform Jillyanna in case he'll come after her."
Jillyanna was still inside the meeting room and they were almost done with the last project when a call from Lucian came through.
Lucian told her about the news and reminded her to be careful. "Heh. What a brave soul!" her tone was clear sarcasm and they felt their scalp tingle when they saw her smile coldly. "He actually escaped? Nice! Looks like I've been very lenient."
'Lenient? You call that lenient?!' Everyone wanted to ask her this question but they remained silent. They didn't want to get involve in her clean up drive at all.
Jillyanna ended the call and called Hawk who was at the hospital watching over Travis with Jillyanna's mother.
"Don't let anyone come near Travis until I get back. Check his doctor and check all the materials they are carrying before letting them in." Jillyanna informed Hawk as soon as possible. "Hn..Yes..That's a fact...Alright..."
They didn't know what happened but looking at her scary face, it must be serious and that involved Travis.
Jillyanna finished her phone call and returned her attention back to the meeting. "Let's finish this last project so we can take a rest. Perhaps some of you would want to save your people." She added sarcastically that no one wanted to answer at all.
Because of what happened, it was the first time that the company was so quite like they were mourning over their co-workers. They all worked silently but you could still here whispers here and there.

"It is really not a good thing to anger a kind and good person. Just look at our new CEO, she was still cute and cheerful when she came with sir Travis last time. But now, she was so cold that I can't seem to find the old her."
"I can understand her though. She just got married after all the hardships they faced together and now sir Travis is at the hospital right after they register their marriage. I think anyone who goes through such event will be cold like her."
"True. She has to fight back for sir Travis and for herself and the baby. If she won't do anything, they will just target her."
"What she did was also a good thing. Who would've thought that we have many unscrupulous people here. We worked diligently and they were just accepting bribes and sold company properties. I wonder why sir Travis didn't do anything about it."
"He must have thought about their families which was why he didn't do anything to them. Opposite to him, Madam just experienced a horrible thing and that person worked in this company. Even Miss Eva was almost sent to her death. It would be difficult for her to trust the employees here."
"I felt sad for her. However, I am a bit worried. Does she know how to run a business?"
"Let's just wait and see. I know she won't do anything that would crumble the company down to the gravel."
Employees talk about many things about the situation of the company but Jillyanna didn't care about their opinion.
After the last proposal, she left the meeting room immediately while calling her mother that she will be back at the hospital soon. Savannah was following behind her while observing their surroundings.
"Will she be alright? I heard that she's staying at the hospital." Mr. Sandoval murmured but the other still caught his words.
"Even if she's cold and merciless, I hope she will be fine." Mr. Albert replied to Diego's father. "Why don't you inquire your son how Travis is doing?"
"Jillyanna isn't allowing anyone to get near her husband. She's putting up her walls against everyone."
They could only sigh deeply for her as they watched her disappearing back at the hallway. They felt sad for the employees who lost their job but they also understood her point. No matter how they turn the world, her decision was right.

The Programmer's Dungeon [Progression, LitRPG]
Vincent, a college student from Earth, has been transported to another world full of strange powers and fantastic monsters. Ideally, this would be the start of his journey to become a legendary hero, build an everlasting empire, and gather a personal harem. But no one said that this new world would be easy… After escaping an assassination that accidentally befell him, he was forced to become a Dungeon Master. What will an average programmer student do when he finds out that he can code the dungeon? Vanquish those savages above with his tech and savviness — along with an army of golems? “Wait, this world isn’t even medieval?!” With all the questions piling up in his head, Vincent is set to uncover all these secrets! And… conquer the world, perhaps? The hard reboot of “The Programmer’s Dungeon.” It has an almost completely different plot, cast, and storyline, so expect tons of improvement from the old one. Disclaimer: This is a softcore LitRPG story; there are stats but no levels. Also, the LitRPG element isn’t the main focus of the story itself and is more of a support. I have enabled the reader’s suggestion, and therefore, you can correct any grammar mistakes and typos you find in the story. There will definitely be some that I miss. Cheers! The cover was made by Jack0fheart, so a shout-out for him. Releasing 3 chapters per week at 12.00 GMT on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday with at least 2000+ words.

Myth of The World's Trees
And Simon answered their call with a single statement that nobody understood "Et super mos absit hoc hodie!" "Yah!" "WWWaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" "AAAlllllaaaaallllaaaaallllaaaa!" "EeEEellllleeeeeelllllleeeeeeuuuuuuu!" I, too, yelled a battle cry at the top of my lungs. I had no idea what Simon had just spouted but from Camilla's giggling, I could guess that Simon thought that spouting nonsense was his way of getting out of the earlier predicament. "I forbid death upon this day," Camilla said. "What?" I answered a bit at a loss. "Ancient Latin," she replied smugly, "He said 'I forbid death upon this day'." I laughed aloud "Then he is gonna be really disappointed in everyone here," Camilla did not reply and instead took a deep breath. I did the same, zoning out everything in my surroundings. The environment became a world of electrical pulses traveling across several networks. I perceived the world through my lightning and sped my heartbeat to inhuman levels. I was present now, at this moment, at this point in time. I could feel the electrifying air saturating my lungs, the electrified ground vibrating at the rhythm of the approaching enemy. Then I took a step forward, everyone followed in tandem. Camilla the first, and then the others. Then I took a second step, and this time everyone followed simultaneously. Third step… Fourth step… Fifth step… Then light jogging… Speeding up… Running … Running faster…. Then suddenly, everyone disappeared into motes of light particles that re-constructed itself hundreds of feet above the horde, dozens of miles away from our initial position. We were literally 'diving' into battle.-------------------------------------------------------------------Despite a rough childhood in the slums, Omari had everything a guy could want - a loving girlfriend, an understanding sister, a wonderful teacher, and his dream job.

Not unlike a visual novel LiMB has two main routes branching out from the the first chapter, with additional routes being added as the story progresses. There are also "ending routes", spinoffs or dead-ends that still need to be told. There is no recommended reading order, although a chapter in one path may shed light on another. When a choice appears in a chapter that choice will be branded as (R1), (R2) or (SR) for a special offshot ending. I hope you will enjoy this, more art will be added along the way // grunt
