"You don't believe us?" Damien asked angrily.Jason still looked relaxed as he tapped his pen on the glass table in front of him. Jason smiled."Sorry, I don't believe it, sir. But we just want to listen to his explanation again, sir, because I am not clear on the portion of the benefits that Dalton will receive if he accepts this partnership," Jason replied, smiling."If you're stupid, don't lead the company!" Damien shouted at Jason.The atmosphere in the room became chaotic, and some of Dalton's top officials seemed to start getting emotional hearing Damien's insults to their boss.However, Jason, with his signature smile, calmed all of his men, who were starting to get emotional. Jason showed his patience."Precisely because I was stupid, I had to listen to your father's explanation again. If I were smart, I would have refused from the start the cooperation offer you guys gave!" Jason answered firmly.silence.The atmosphere of the room became silent after hearing what Jason said.
"Who?" asked Esme, getting scared and her face turning pale."I don't know either, because it feels like there's no making appointments with people to meet at home," Jason replied.Jason and Esme looked at each other. Both of them looked confused because the household assistant who had informed them earlier had left in a hurry. But Esme and Jason understood that maybe the person panicked or had to help keep things safe there."Is that Papa?" Esme asked, covering her mouth with her hands. She was so afraid that it was Damien who came, because she knew Damien's nature very well and knew that she would definitely do all kinds of evil or good things. The important thing was that all her wishes were fulfilled. Esme felt that their lives would not be safe if Damien dared to stand up to the guards."Okay, just calm down. I'll look down to see who's coming. But you just wait in the room. You don't leave the room until I come back. And don't forget to lock your bedroom door," Jason said to Esm
"What did you say?" Jason asked, clenching his fists.He was accused of being a murderer, even though he had never done such a heinous thing. He met Mr. Dagfinn only once, and even then he helped Mr. Dagfinn, who was attacked by Addison's own people. And now Addison casually accuses Jason of the murder of Mr. Dagfinn.Moreover, being accused of being the murderer of his mother, Addison, Jason doesn't even know who Mr. Dagfinn's wife is.Jason was really angry about getting accusations like that from Addison, an adult man who was about ten years old with Jason."Isn't it clear what I'm saying, huh?" asked Addison, bringing his face close to Jason's. Even Addison's breath was close to his face.Jason shook his head. He couldn't believe what Addison had said. Such baseless accusations, carelessly accusing Jason of being the murderer of Mr. Dagfinn and his wife. Even when Mr. Dagfinn died, Jason didn't know. He got the news that the good old man had died a week ago.And the question that
"Watch your talk!" Jason shouted angrily."Why?""You don't know; it's like that in reality!" Addison replied.Jason was very surprised to hear what Addison said. All this time, he never knew who his mother and father were.Jason seemed to brush his hair roughly, and what Addison said shocked Jason. He never imagined that, if it were true."Give me twenty million dollars, you illegitimate child!" Addison shouted, glaring at Jason."Rest here; tomorrow morning I will give you the money," Jason replied, holding off Addison's departure because he wanted to meet Addison when he was sober. Dan will invite Addison to talk heart-to-heart. Especially the problem with Addison's words about Jason, who is the child of Dagfinn's affair with a woman who sells bodies or prostitutes,"I don't want to!"Ouch!Addison screamed and spat carelessly, making Jason just close his eyes to hold back the emotions that were bubbling up."Okay, wait here," Jason said slowly.Jason walked up to his room, and luc
Kriet!The wardrobe door is open. The cupboard was almost empty. There are only a few boxes neatly arranged there. Because after Mr. Dagfinn died, the room was cleaned, the clothes were neatly arranged, and those that were still worth giving to those in needJason started opening the boxes one by one; there were even several boxes filled with jewelry and other valuable objects.Jason sighed heavily; from here he learned that treasure is not taken to death. All the treasures previously collected by Mr. Dagfinn were neatly stored, and all of them had been passed down to Jason."Darling, this is a lot of jewelry if you want to wear it," Jason said to Esme.Esme just sighed heavily."I don't like jewelry," Esme replied, smiling.Jason paused to open the boxes. He looked at Esme's face with sad eyes. Jason drew closer to Esme, who was sitting on the end of the bed."Why?" Jason asked, stroking Esme's head gently."It's okay; I just like simple jewelry like this," Esme replied, smiling and
The next day, in Dalton's office..."Ainsley, my room!""Okay, Boss!"Jason will inquire from Ainsley's mouth regarding all the facts he encountered tonight. Because Jason was sure, Ainsley must know everything. And I don't know who Ainsley really was or why Dagfinn believed him so much.Jason doesn't want to bother with Ainsley's problem yet; Jason will only hear what he knows about who Jason really is.Check!The door opened to a woman with sexy curves, and the clothes that stuck to her body were so loose. However, he always covers it with a blazer. Jason wondered if Ainsley didn't feel suffocated in such tight clothes.Ainsley threw her body weight on the chair that was right in front of Jason; her eyes never left Jason's crouching face."You know who I am?" Jason asked without preamble, straight to the heart of the matter.Ainsley frowned. She actually slightly guessed where Jason's conversation was going because last night Jason had called her."You are the top leader in Dalton r
"Where is it burning?" Jason asked, starting to panic.Dame, the middle-aged woman who had informed Jason about the fire, pointed out the rickety house next to the luxurious house.Jason's knees felt weak, and his bones felt like they were slipping out of their joints.The house where his mother lived, the house where his mother and Dagfinn kept his memories, and also the house where Jason first met DagfinnThe house is indeed outside the fence of the big house; Dagfinn deliberately did not make a fence so that living in the house feels so united with the surrounding community.The fire had soared; several workers from the big house tried to put out the fire as best they could, but manual labor was not enough to put out the fire that was getting bigger. Because the house is semi-permanent, meaning that half of the walls are made of planks."Mom," Jason muttered, crying as he sat on the ground.Esme understood what Jason was feeling. Just last night, Jason had intended to renovate the
Tut!Damien ended the call; he didn't give Esme a chance to answer what he said. He did this on purpose so that Esme would not have any intention of rebutting him.He was always one-sided; everything Esme and Jason had to follow without being able to refuse or just give advice."Papa, wait!" Esme shouted so Damien wouldn't hang up the phone. But alas, the phone call was completely cut off. Esme could only sigh heavily, not knowing what else to say.Esme looked at Jason with a look that was difficult to decipher, while Jason tried to give Esme the best smile. Because he knew, Esme was very upset by what Damien had done.To be honest, Esme actually missed her parents, but she still felt annoyed because of the behavior of her parents, who always looked down on her husband. The hope that Esme always had was that her parents would open their eyes and hearts to see Jason from a different perspective. Not from treasures that don't want to be taken where and for how long.Even though Jason ne
