Randy looked at the cottage and the young woman beside him. For the past few weeks, they were hiding in a rather secluded place to avoid mass media because Vena used to be extremely famous. Ever since her disappearance, there was no news regarding this young lady at all.

"Your brother is over there. Do you want to have a talk with him?" Randy asked.

Vena raised her head. Her long hair moved slightly as she shook her head. "There's no need for me to meet with him. I don't want to see him at all."

"Alright, stay here and just listen, alright?"

"Yes."

Randy showed a wry smile as he alighted out of the car. He received a mail from Jon not long ago, telling him the truth that there was no device in Vena's body. As for the reason, he told them to come meet him after a few days as he would send the location.

Looking at the young man before him, Randy stepped forward before bowing his head towards Jon. "Young Master."

Jon looked at Randy up and down. "It seems that you two have been doing well for the past few weeks."

"Yes, we're alright. Young Master Jon, can you tell me why you're sending the location of your place to us?"

"I want to make sure that you keep your promise and to see her for the last time." Jon pointed to the car with his chin. Even though he was unable to see her expression clearly, he knew that Vena was there. His sister that used to ignore him and treated him like a trash was there.

Randy showed a complicated expression. "Do you want to meet with her again? I can call her here."

"There's no way she would want to meet with me again. In her eyes, I'm not any different than a liar who tried to make her life miserable in Lima School." Jon shrugged.

When Ferdinand tasked them to plant the device in her sister's body, he tricked them and changed the report. As for the device itself, he planted it on the lowest ground and hid its location from everyone. It might be a foolish move of his, but he couldn't let that woman stay trapped in that place forever. She has a much better future.

"Why didn't you tell her that you trick her regarding the device?" Randy asked. They went to a doctor for examination and found out that there was nothing inside Vena's body. She was perfectly normal.

"If I don't, she wouldn't devote herself to the school and do her work well," Jon shrugged. He added in a rather low voice. "Sometimes, you have to play the villain in your life."

Villain?

Vena's eyes widened when she heard her brother's words in the car. Her eyes watered because she understood that Jon played the role of a villain in Lima School to make her lose all hope. That way, she would act like a frozen robot and follow every direction perfectly. Because in her mind no one cared for her at all, she no longer bore any hope for the 'limited time' she had.

Randy turned around and saw the troubled Vena. He turned his head to Jon. "Will you try to mend your relationship?"

"No."

"Why?"

"We can never stay on one page anymore. This is my goodbye to you because I won't be staying in this city anymore," Jon smiled. "Take care of that annoying woman, Randy. Protect her like what you used to do. She's pretty weak despite the strong front she has. After this, we won't be meeting each other anymore.

Make sure that you'll never break her heart anymore. The two of you won't be able to live long if you don't control your emotion because that medicine Ferdinand gave can affect you if that happens."

Randy's eyes flickered. "Where are you going, Young Master?"

"Who knows?" Jon shrugged, clearly not allowing them to know about his plan. "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Randy lowered his eyes for a while. There were a lot of things that he wanted to know, but they were all not really important. He shook his head and bent down his body once more.

"Thank you very much for your care all these times, Young Master."

"I did nothing."

It took Randy a few seconds to return back to the car and sped up away from the cottage. He didn't try to speak directly to the crying Vena because he knew this woman needed time.

Outside the cottage, Jon turned his head to his residence. "You can get out now and take the USB. I'm going to rest because I'll have a long journey ahead."

The three of them walked out and Patrick eyed Jon. "You seem to care about your sister more than what the rumors say."

"Rumors are usually wrong, but it spreads quickly because of how interesting they're. One single false rumor is more interesting than one single true report because lies are always more interesting." Jon smiled.

"We'll take our leave now. Thank you, Jon."

"I'm the one who should thank you because you're letting me go away from my punishment."

Patrick shrugged. "I'm not a police officer, so there's no problem with me. But of course, I don't mind beating you up if you dare to come here again. There's no doubt that I'll willingly do that."

Jon laughed. "Then I'll make sure that I won't come here anymore."

As the three people left, Jon leaned back on his chair. He knew very well that deep in his mind, he still cared for his sister. Even though she never treated him that well, the image of their childhood together before Vena learned the world of business was still fresh in his mind. It was as if he only experienced them yesterday.

At the same time, he knew that he was the one who dragged her down from her throne because he knew that their family business was on the verge of destruction. Rather than letting her stay as the head, it would be better to leave it to the hand of someone incompetent and allowed her sister to rest on the back.

Her sister wouldn't be able to run a business again if a massive company fell on her lead. She would blame herself and never touched the company ever again. At the same time, it would let her learn the harshness of this world in a completely different way.

'I guess, I'm a bit too harsh as a brother, but playing the villain is the only thing I'm good at.'

Jon chuckled to himself. He didn't mind playing the bad guy for the two of them as his sister was quite dense and stupid. But now, the past didn't matter anymore.

From that day onward, Jon Aida completely disappeared from this city. There were people saying that he became a famous gamer overseas, or even a famous programmer with excellent capabilities. However, not a single one of them knew the truth of the matter.

…

"Have you calmed down?" Randy asked tenderly to the woman beside him.

Vena nodded her head. It never crossed her mind that her arrogant action was actually hurting her brother. During the time she aimed to become the head of the company, she never cared about anyone around her. She always treated her brother badly without caring about him at all because he was simply not worthy in her eyes.

"Randy, tell me the truth, did you meet with Jon in the past?"

Randy's eyes flickered. "Yes, I met with him in the past."

"When?"

"A couple of times. The first time is when you prepare a place for me to stay, he came to warn me to not get too close with you. After that, I meet him after you're coming while crying, he asks me to take care of you," Randy replied. It was contrasting, yet he understood why Jon suddenly changed his opinion. It was simply because he wanted to get out of Vena's life in a very weird method.

Vena could feel her eyes watered once again. In front of everyone, Jon always acted as a fool who only knew how to drink and play around. Behind the façade that he showed, lay a completely different person who never showed his real face.

Their interactions in the past flashed before her eyes. How could she forget her harsh treatment to the young boy because he always acted as a useless man? She used to hate her father for favoring Jon, but it seemed that it was not all the story there was. He purposely did that to allow her take over the position as the family head.

There might be more things that he did for her, but by using his own self as the villain to not make her feel bad. But now that she knew the truth, she had just realized how big of a fool she has always been. And how much of a fool her brother was to use this way to make her lose hope on him.

"Don't blame yourself, Vena. He always acts as a fool to begin with and destroys every hope you have for him."

"I know. He often made me feel irritated, especially when he asked for money," Vena replied. But if she was not wrong, every time Jon asked for money, their father was always in the city. When he was in the city, he would monitor their actions closely, which made Jon's image fall further in their father's eyes.

"Your brother is a peculiar Young Master."

"Yeah," Vena whispered.

If not for this incident, she would never know that her brother was actually someone amazing behind the mask that he worn. There were so many things she had missed when she only thought for herself. Things that were placed in front of her became a blur as she didn't pay any attention.

Glancing outside the window, Vena's eyes reflected the beautiful blue color of the sea.

'If only I can turn back the time, I'll treat him better.'

It was only wishful thinking on her part as she knew that it was impossible. They wouldn't meet with each other anymore, so all she could do now was living her life to the fullest. She would make sure that she could be happy with her life that her brother had helped to pave the way.

This was the only thing she could possibly do for everything that her brother had given her.
