"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
Esme and Jason exchanged glances when they saw Damien hold out the folder.It was true that Esme had feared that Damien had other intentions when he invited them to his house. Esme already understood that people like Damien would not be able to let Esme and Jason live happily."What is this, Papa?" Esme asked curtly.Neither Jason nor Esme have received the map provided by Damien. The folder was still sitting in front of them on the table, even though Damien had handed it back to be closer to the two of them.Jason didn't even intend to accept and open the folder; he already suspected that its contents would incriminate him.According to Jason, surely the map contains a threat or something that can later plunge Jason into the problems created by Damien. Because Jason knew his father-in-law was really sneaky!"Please open yourself! Get that trash husband of yours to sign!" Damien snapped in response to Esme's question.Damien then glared at the two people currently in front of him. He
"Are you really going to do this?" Jason asked Esme with a cold stare.Meanwhile, Esme shook her head, staring with red eyes and holding back tears at Damien.Esme didn't think that Damien would go this far and do this to her. She thought Damien and Aice had let Esme come live with Jason for these few days; they had changed.However, it turned out that Esme was wrong. They're just looking for other ways to ruin Jason and Esme's relationship.Esme didn't know what was in Damien's mind, so he took advantage of this situation to destroy Jason's career and future.Because of this, if Jason refuses, he already knows the consequences: Jason will lose Esme. And even if Jason accepted Damien's offer, he would dig his own grave.Damien didn't know that Dalton was Jason's company; all he had in mind was that Jason would refuse because he was new to leading there and wouldn't have the courage to make a decision that could cost Dalton a loss.And after a period without a leader, Damien eas
Jason and Esme stopped in their tracks, hearing what Aice said."Mama!" Esme called in a hoarse voice.As a child who had never denied anything to her parents, it made Esme's heart ache. There was tightness and tears welling up in her eyes when she heard her mother say that. She never thought she would get words like that from his mother's mouth."Can your mouth still call Mama?" asked Aice with great emotion."No matter what mom says for Esme, Esme will still think of mom and dad as parents. Because nothing broke our bond. And this time, I'm sorry has to follow my heart and find my own happiness.""Up to you! What is clear from now on is that you are not my child; whatever happens, don't ever look for me as your mother. We are other people with no strings attached while you make up your own mind!" answered Aice arrogantly.Esme looked sadly into her mother's eyes. She tries to find the truth in everything her mother says. So far, her mother has never kicked her out or even considered
