Months had passed, and the furious Elena finally retaliated against Franklin using a lawyer just as famous as Mr. Roy. Meetings between the two parties had become frequent, of course with only endless debates that filled the room with Elena's screams of anger.That woman always cursed at Franklin, insulting him as a shameless human for claiming a fortune that Elena said Franklin had no right to. However, in the end Franklin actually won the trial. All the evidence found during the search turned out to have a very influential effect on Franklin.At Elena's house, the original files showing the original ownership of Mr. Smith's assets were found. So Elena could not deny it. In addition, Clara also made Elena's children experience difficulties.The company they had started and was at its peak was easily destroyed due to Clara's influence using any means necessary. Not only that, Franklin's father's company was also successfully taken back, causing Elena's eldest child to be expelled just

"Has Pilot Eden disappeared too?"Clara nodded slowly as Franklin repeated the information she had shared. A few hours after receiving Karina's report, Clara finally spoke privately with Franklin. She relayed all the information Karina had gathered."Does this mean... we can't find out who was involved in sabotaging the plane that killed my father?"Clara quickly replied, "There will be other ways, Franklin. Don't worry, Karina is experienced enough and has a good team to search for any group that might be involved."Franklin let out the breath he'd been holding. He glanced at Clara's lit cigarette, which she was letting burn slowly without taking a drag."You don't smoke?" Clara asked when she caught Franklin looking at her cigarette.She offered him her pack of favorite cigarettes. However, Franklin shook his head as he wasn't a typical smoker."It might take quite a while, Franklin. But be patient because Karina will bring good news eventually."Franklin understood, though he didn'

Clara stared at herself in the mirror, touching her lips that always reminded her of the recent incident. When Franklin brought her into a warm tenderness that afternoon. Until now, Clara always touched her lips, remembering the incident that made her feel drunk with love."How dare he kiss me without permission," Clara glared at the mirror, her face suddenly changing to annoyance.Clara turned around and sat at her vanity, which contained only a few body and face care products. She looked out the window of her spacious room; the morning light was already shining. Clara could predict how bright it was outside, making her reluctant to do activities outdoors."I should be with Franklin today heading to the medical factory." Clara snorted. "But how can we meet after what happened? I'm sure he's very embarrassed now."Clara was still wearing the thin clothes she usually wore to sleep. Her clothes were always revealing wherever she was. So it wasn't surprising that yesterday afternoon Clar

"Reyna?"Franklin hadn't expected his ex-girlfriend, who had cheated on him with another man, to be calling. Who else but Reyna, the woman who had been Franklin's sweetheart for over a year. But now all his love for her had burned away, and he no longer wanted anything to do with his ex."Sorry for calling you out of the blue, Franklin," Reyna said casually. She cleared her throat and continued, "I know you must be very busy, right? After all, you'll be inheriting the Cendana Group soon."Reyna knew that Franklin was wealthy now. Before, she hadn't known he came from a famous billionaire family in New York. During the final hearing that decided the transfer of assets, many TV channels had reported on the trial and conducted interviews.It was on that day that Reyna saw Franklin's face captured by the cameras. On TV, it was written that Franklin was the rightful heir who should lead the Cendana Family after his father's death. Of course, Reyna didn't want to waste this opportunity. Bes

Clara noticed Franklin's restlessness. He kept checking his vibrating phone on the dining table. Clara only spoke up after dinner was over and the conversation with Mrs. Smith ended when Franklin asked his mother to rest.Tonight, Franklin was taking her around the city. The still-vibrating phone showed a notification of a call that bothered Clara. She glanced cynically at Franklin's phone, its vibration making noise against the car's dashboard."Why don't you answer that call, Franklin?"Franklin, who was initially ignoring it and focusing on the road ahead, immediately turned to Clara and glanced at his phone still showing Reyna's unknown number."It's not important."Clara crossed her arms, her cynical face immediately commenting on Franklin's indifference. She said, "How can you say that call isn't important? The same number has been calling you repeatedly, hasn't it?"Franklin nodded, but he was really honest about the unimportant call. Besides, Franklin was sure Reyna just wante
