"Why? You know him?" asked one of the thugs while frowning.
Jason just nodded weakly. He was racking his brain to get the right reasons for the thugs. Because he couldn't possibly admit that the person was his father-in-law, of course the thugs wouldn't believe it.
Jason walked closer to the side of the road.
"Who's he?" asked the others to Jason. They were also surprised that the new kid working in this market even knew someone rich with a luxury car.
"He was my former employer before I worked in this market; he is a good person. Please don't disturb him; I'm sorry he's seriously ill right now," said Jason.
Damien looked wide-eyed when he heard what Jason said; his trash son-in-law even said he was sick. Though he was in good condition. Damien was very emotional hearing this, but he also felt that his current condition was being threatened. Damien understood what Jason meant when he saw some of the thugs starting to look into his valuables and also into his car.
One of them asked for identification to make sure the name mentioned by Jason was correct. Damien seemed to shake his hand a little as he showed his identity.
He felt that Jason's being here was of no use.
"Trash is still trash; under these circumstances, he won't even be able to help; he won't be able to fight people with such burly muscles," Damien grumbled in his heart.
According to him, someone like Jason would not be able to fight the thugs. Damien didn't know that life like that, mixed with various kinds of human characters, had already formed Jason's mentality. He could even blend into any group of people.
When making sure the name Jason said was the same as Damien's identity, The guys nodded and slowly left Damien there alone in a confused state because his car's tire was still blown and he didn't understand how to change a tire.
Damien looked a bit taken aback as the men all left except for Jason, who was still wearing his sweet smile.
Jason, while working in the market, is a good person. Until the thugs gave Damien the opportunity to immediately leave the location,
Damien didn't think that his son-in-law could drive away the thugs so easily, but he was again annoyed by the incident. According to him, Jason is not great because, at this time, his car tires are still bursting due to the behavior of the thugs.
"This place really suits you; I think leaving the Damien family home you can do better. It turned out to be a coolie in this slum and dirty market. But I forgot that this place is perfect for you. And don't forget that Esme will soon be filing for divorce from a useless husband like you. You trash!" whispered Damien in Jason's ear, which made Jason only able to hold back his emotions. Because if he showed that he was emotional for Damien and was seen by a bunch of people earlier, then Damien's history would be over.
Damien walked to his car and immediately left the market with a flat tire. He hoped that when he arrived at the repair shop, everything was still fine.
In his heart, Damien grumbled in annoyance, because how could he be saved today by his trash son-in-law, who had just been kicked out of his house a few days ago?
"Is there no one else in this world besides Jason? I might meet again with the person who destroyed my future business!" Damien shouted from inside his car.
Meanwhile, Jason watched his father-in-law's car until it completely disappeared from his sight. Damien's words were able to disturb his concentration while working. Damien said that Esme was going to file for divorce from him soon.
"Is it really like that? So that Esme can never be contacted?" muttered Jason in his heart while still busy thinking about it.
Jason tried to convince his heart that Esme would continue to wait for him faithfully until he could take Esme out of Damien's luxurious house and build a luxurious house for Esme. He knows his wife is the only child of a rich man. There was no way Esme would want to live in a shabby and dirty house.
Jason immediately went back to work, lifting the dozens of sacks, so his shoulders felt very numb. Jason can indeed do other grunt work, but this time there are so many things to lift.
Just as Jason was a little closer to completing his task and all the sacks had almost moved from the store to the containers, he got a phone call.
Cring! Cring! Cring!
"Whoever just bothers you, you'll get angry again," Jason muttered and glanced at his cell phone, which turned out to be from an unknown number.
Jason turned off the call because he never wanted to answer calls from people he didn't know, even though the number had called him many times.
"If it's important, he'll message you," Jason muttered, because Jason thought the person should have messaged him first.
Ting!
A message came to his cellphone from the number that called him earlier, which seemed to understand what was on Jason's mind.
"Jason Mairer, you are expected to come to Dalton Corp. on Thursday the following day. Dalton is in need of an immediate lead!
****
"What kind of joke is this?" muttered Jason as he read the message.Jason still looked confused, but a smile appeared on his face. He knows this world is getting more sophisticated. Even the impostor does not discriminate in his intentions."He doesn't know that his target is poorer than them," chuckled Jason as he turned off his cellphone screen and put the simple cellphone into his trouser pocket.He was about to continue his work, finishing up by lifting a few more sacks of rice. Jason hopes that this job will be finished quickly; his shoulders and hands feel so numb, and it's like he can't finish this job. Lifting tens of sacks of rice, which was only done by the three of them."Huft, finally finished," Jason muttered as he finished lifting the last sack.He will soon give his body the right to rest. Waiting for the afternoon, they will usually lie down on a bamboo bed provided by the shop owner next to the shop under a cherry tree. They usually enjoy drinks and food provided by t
Jason still chose silence, and he sighed heavily. There was a feeling of tightness and anger that he was currently holding back.According to his heart, his emotions could no longer be contained because of the insults from the two security guards.While the two security guards were still holding back their laughter, they saw Jason, who was nervous."It's been said that Ms. Ainsley won't want to be disturbed; she still wants to force it. You are nobody in Ainsley's eyes," said the security guard, who was greeted with insults from his colleague."Has Mrs. Ainsley come?" Jason asked later, still trying to be friendly to the two security guards.They even laughed uproariously."Yes, that's clear. Mrs. Ainsley is the person who is the most on time and arrives the earliest!" replied one of the security guards.Jason looked like he was sighing; he was a little surprised when Ainsley came because, while he was at the post, he didn't see Ainsley come and enter the office."And it seems that yo
"What is this?" asked Jason in surprise while accepting the paper in Ainsley's hand."You can read, right?" asked Ainsley sarcastically.Jason took a deep breath, then began to read the message on the single sheet of paper.How shocked Jason was when he read the letter. It turns out it was a letter from Grandpa Dagfinn saying that the Dalton Company and its other subsidiaries started at that time under the leadership of Jason Mairer. And all property ownership is in Jason's name, such as a luxurious house located on the side of the main road, including a rickety house adjoining the luxury house.After reading the letter, Jason looked at Ainsley sharply."Is it serious?" Jason asked, not believing what he was reading."You have a brain to think, right? You think this is a joke?" Ainsley was annoyed as he stomped his pen on the glass table."But why?" muttered Jason in surprise.Jason couldn't stop thinking about everything. It turned out that Dagfinn's grandfather was a rich man, and v
"You are crazy?" Jason asked Ainsley."I didn't make it! Don't be careless; I'm just conveying a message!" shouted Ainsley angrily. She actually didn't know anything about it because, indeed, he was just conveying a message from Mr. Dagfinn."How can I be asked to return to the wrong person's path when I don't even know his path?" Jason was annoyed while brushing his hair roughly.Ainsley watched Jason's face with a smile, then just shook his head."You don't know Mr. Dagfinn's son yet?" asked Ainsley then. Because almost everyone in Dalton knows Addison, the only son of Dalton's owner. Not even a small amount of property had been spent by Addison, and at this time, if Mr. Dagfinn did not give Addison the inheritance rights, it was very reasonable. Moreover, Mr. Dagfinn told Ainsley that Jason was a good man and was the one who dared to help him when he was almost finished off by Addison's hired thugs."I don't even know who it is!" answered Jason, frustrated."Later he will definitel
"Later you will know who Mr. Dagfinn is; it is clear that he believes in you," said Ainsley with a smile.After feeling that there was nothing to talk about, Ainsley motioned for Jason to leave his room. And in order to immediately come to Dalton and not let DaltonAfter Dalton, Jason returned to the market where he worked. He wanted to leave the shop; however, when he arrived at the shop, he had not had time to explain the purpose of his arrival; the shop owner had ordered him to pick up flour sacks.Without arguing, Jason continued to do his job, even though the clothes he wore were slightly different from usual. While lifting the flour unexpectedly, Esme suddenly came to the market."Jason," Esme repeated as she drew closer.Jason's face reddened when their eyes met. Jason was embarrassed by his current state in front of his wife. Jason felt like a useless husband.Meanwhile, the burden that is on Jason's shoulders has been taken over by Budi because it was indeed the last sack for
"That's your money, Esme," Jason said quietly."Aren't we husband and wife? We have the right to live together and enjoy the money we have," Esme said, still persuading Jason.Jason seemed speechless hearing Esme's request, for Jason returning to the Damien family's house was the same as licking his own spit. Jason will never return to the Damien family's home."Sorry, I haven't been able to return to your family home, and I also can't use your money to rent a house. Give me time to find a home on my own, and I'll come get you, honey," Jason said, looking at Esme lovingly.However, Jason didn't dare touch Esme in the slightest. He was insecure about his dirty and smelly body, whereas Esme looked clean and smelled good."Jason, I know you are a hard worker, but for now, let's use the available money. You can think of borrowing if you don't want to be seen as borrowing money from me. You can pay at any time, and most importantly, we will live together. Isn't it true that husband and wif
Who?" asked Esme in a half-whisper while smoothing her messy hair.Jason shook his head. He took the clothes hanging on the wall and put them on in a hurry.Jason then made sure that the clothes worn by Esme were neat again; there were no exposed parts. Because Jason didn't want anyone to see some red marks made by him on Esme's white and smooth body,"I'm scared," Esme said softly, holding Jason's hand tightly."Don't worry, no one can hurt you. I will protect you, even if it costs your life," Jason answered softly, then kissed Esme's forehead gently. Jason hugged Esme tightly to give his wife peace."Quickly open the door!" shouted a voice from outside for some time.The rented door kept banging on many times before Jason opened the door. Jason approached the door, followed by Esme's footsteps from behind, who held Jason's arm tightly. Esme's hands seemed to be sweating coldly from fright."Could it be Papa's messenger?" whispered Esme again, who kept clinging to Jason's body
"No, Ma," Jason answered slowly, shaking his head.Plaque! Plaque!"What do you want, Jason? Want to make Esme suffer?" Aice asked, slapping Jason's face hard.Jason held his hot face, and even though he didn't reply to every harsh word spoken by Aice, his mother-in-law,"I'm sorry. Jason can't comply with Mama's wishes. Until whenever Jason will not divorce Esme," Jason said slowly.Jason knelt before Aice; Jason even took Aice's hand to apologize."I'm sorry," Jason said quietly, still looking down.Aice shook Jason's hand roughly; she didn't want his hand to be held by Jason's dirty hands."Get away from me, Jason! I'm not close to someone who smells like that! And also, I don't want viruses and germs from your body to spread to mine!" Aice shouted angrily.Jason's heart ached to hear what Aice said to him. As if he were a dangerous virus. Jason took a few steps back, and unexpectedly, Aice was even spitting all over her body because
Kring! Kring!Jason immediately grabbed Esme's cell phone from Esme's hand, and he was sure that it was Aice who called. Don't know what made Jason so sure. Because all parents will definitely not make their children suffer. Jason was sure Damien and Esme felt the same way."Hello, where are you at the hospital?" asked Aice in a hoarse voice. And sounds like she's been crying.It turned out that Jason was right, if it was Aice who called them.Then Jason explained to Aice which hospital he was in. And the one thing that surprised Jason the most was when Aice said she and Damien would be coming soon. Could it be that the two of them came to their senses after becoming hot news in various media outlets?Or just realized they had wronged Jason and Esme.Jason smiled when he heard that Damien and Aice would soon follow him to the hospital where Esme was being treated.Jason felt this was progress when he heard Aice calling in a hoarse voice. She had been crying. He knew that, as a mother, A
"What is it?" asked Esme, who apparently realized the rage Jason felt."E-uh, what, honey? Do you want something?" Jason asked, surprised to find that Esme wasn't asleep.And his wife noticed him.Esme shook her head."You, are there any problems again?" Esme asked quietly."Oh no, I just want to ask for a report with Mr. James," Jason replied with a smile.Esme nodded and went back to trying to rest again and forget everything that happened today.Meanwhile, Jason was engrossed in his cellphone screen and tried again and again to call Mr. James's number.Jason felt that something was slightly different from the report, which is why he immediately asked Mr. James for clarification. I'm afraid that Jason doesn't understand Dagfinpolo's reporting or that there's something odd about the report.Jason didn't want to be careless in understanding the reports, and he needed information from Mr. James.He called Mr. James four times, and only then did he get an answer; maybe he was busy. Or
"Did he really do that, sir? Jason asked Mr. Tatang."Yeah, he just filed a report; he said you ganged up on him in a public place, right?" asked Mr. Tatang then.Jason could only sigh.Jason then explained the incident at the steak restaurant, where he wanted to leave the restaurant and enter Ataraja, which offended him, and then it was Jason who pulled Ataraja's collar, but he didn't do anything.Ataraja summoned the guards, and Jason was helped by other visitors. The people who helped him will become witnesses if this is indeed an Ataraja case.Jason asked Mr. Tatang to immediately take the CCTV in the restaurant; he explained that he was currently in the hospital because his wife had fainted."I'm sorry, Mr. Jason. I didn't know that now I'm actually in the hospital," said Mr. Tatang.It turned out that Mr. Tatang had not seen the news on television at this time. He didn't think that Esme was sick because of her parents.Mr. Tatang promised to take care of everything soon and aske
Jason panicked even more; he immediately drove his car at high speed, looking for the nearest clinic or hospital so that Esme could get help immediately."Darling, just hang on, and you'll get help in a bit," Jason said to Esme."I'm sorry, honey. All because I followed your will to go back inside. I should have refused your wish," Jason said, then continued to feel guilty.Jason really couldn't forgive himself if anything happened to Esme and their child.It didn't take long for Jason to see a small clinic located a few meters in front of him. Jason immediately entered the courtyard of the clinic and stopped in front of the ER.Jason screamed frantically like a madman after getting out of the car."Doctor! Nurse! Help my wife!" Jason shouted frantically.The doctor and nurse on duty immediately brought over the gurney and swiftly carried Esme to get help.Jason followed behind, after previously asking the hospital security officer to park his car. Because he couldn't just let Esme in
Jason and Esme looked towards the source of the sound and found Damien and Aice, who were also at the mall.Jason heaved a heavy sigh because of something they had been avoiding so much and had come here for. Even though Jason didn't want to see Damien and Aice anymore."Finally meeting you here," said Aice, who walked closer to Esme."Yes, Mama, what's wrong?" Esme asked then, with a heavy sigh.Aice pouted."You're asking what's wrong? It's like you just don't know what's wrong with you, Esme!" Aice shouted angrily.Esme actually already knew what Aice wanted to say; Aice had contacted them many times. However, it can't. Because indeed, Esme had blocked her parents' numbers.Aice is still trying to ask Esme to have an abortion, because for Aice to have a grandchild from Esme's relationship with a poor man like Jason and a former scavenger is something very embarrassing.Even though Aice's eyes actually lit up seeing that Esme was pregnant.It wasn't Jason who was expected to become
"Don't you know who we are here? We were visitors to this restaurant earlier, but we are so sick of seeing your sudden presence that you suddenly insult Mr. Jason," said the person to Ataraja."You are Jason's gang!" shouted Ataraja, who did not accept."We have known Mr. Jason since the case at Dalton came out. How many times has Mr. Jason been caught on camera? Only once did he receive interviews from reporters during the accident at Dalton, and we saw once that he is a good person and a person who doesn't like looking for trouble. with other people.""Earlier, we saw for ourselves that he had avoided meeting you. But you were the one chasing him!" continued the man."So we are moved to help Jason here because we want to eradicate all the crimes that you have committed, Ataraja! Especially when you say his father was a scavenger."Don't know why the people there suddenly hate Ataraja so much. And indeed, good people everywhere always get help, like Jason at this time.Even though Ja
"Yes, I'm Esme, sir. Who are you?" Esme asked the father, frowning, trying to remember who the father in front of her was."Oh my gosh, you're already this big," said the father to Esme, making Esme even more confused.Jason was still sitting quietly and watching the father, paying attention to what kind of movements he was making, but if, for example, the father wanted to hug Esme, Jason would not allow it."Yes, sir," Esme answered slowly. However, no doubt, his gaze displayed doubt and confusion."I'am Rustam, used to work at your house when you were little," he explained.Esme seemed silent for a moment and tried to remember her childhood."My goodness, sir. How are you?" asked Esme to Mr. Rustam, who turned out to be the man of the gardener who used to live in his house when she was a child. They have a daughter who accompanies Esme to play every day, and it turns out that only now have they been reunited.It turned out that Mr. Rustam and his wife were enjoying lunch in this cit
"Why, are you surprised?" asked Esme, surprised to see Jason, who looked surprised to hear what Esme said."It's okay, honey," answered Jason, who then invited Esme to get into his car, and they would soon go to a mall.Esme just nodded.Along the way to the mall, Esme still seemed busy thinking about Anida, which she thought was really weird. I came to the hotel only two hours later with men."Or could Anida sell herself?" asked Esme, who was surprised and covered her mouth. Esme just realized that Anida was behaving strangely."Hah!"Jason looked surprised to hear his question from Esme. Jason didn't expect Esme to finally notice that.Jason then just shook his head and frowned. Jason chose to remain silent and not answer questions from his wife."How come you don't answer?" she asked."Okay, let's not talk about other people," Jason replied slowly.The two of them fell silent again, watching the speed of the vehicles passing by on the road, which was quite congested. Because it jus
"Anida?" said Esme, frowning."Yes!" She replied curtly."What are you doing here? Since when did you come home?" she asked."It's up to me what to do here!" answered the woman called Anida; she seemed to let go of her hands on a man who seemed much older than her.Esme just nodded."What are you doing here, Esme? Selling yourself?" asked Anida, who looked at Jason cynically, especially when she saw Jason carrying a thick folder."My husband and I are staying here again. Because this is my husband's hotel," Esme answered casually while hugging Jason's arm tightly.Anida's eyes widened. She, who turned out to be a distant cousin of Esme, looked surprised. Maybe she hasn't read the news. Because all this time, Anida lived abroad."Ha ha ha.""You don't dream, Esme. You can't have a husband who owns a hotel," Anida argued."Meet Jason Mairer and her husband, Esme Damien. I am the owner of Dalton, and this hotel is either owned by Dalton or owned by Dalton!" Jason explained this to Anida
