"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
