"Yes, I want to surprise that old Oddie. Even though that bitch is dead, I want that old man to feel the consequences of what his daughter has done. He has to know what Sarah's true behavior is like, and so does the rest of the world. I want Sarah's name to become ugly, her image to be damaged like what I have experienced so far." Aaron said in a vengeful tone. Seeing the determination and anger clearly radiating from Aaron's eyes, Moss immediately shuddered in horror. He didn't seem to recognize his boss's personality anymore. Before entering the prison, Aaron did sometimes do sneaky things, but still in a reasonable stage, except when dealing with Joe. So far, Aaron had never held a grudge against someone with a strong enough reason, like the man who hated Joe just because he felt outmatched because his enemy managed to become the husband of the woman he wanted, and successfully run a business after being underestimated by him. However, this time Aaron had a very clear and invio
Kevin started the day by coughing violently because a sudden change in temperature can make his immune system decrease. He is no longer young, of course his immunity is not as strong as it used to be. "Mark, get my medicine," Kevin ordered as he coughed occasionally. He patted his chest to ease the pain, as his cough was getting worse, even though he had consulted with his personal doctor and was taking the medicine regularly as prescribed. "Here, sir." Mark handed over the medicine in its opened state, along with drinking water so that Kevin could immediately consume the medicine. After the medicine was swallowed, Kevin asked Mark to leave and left him alone in his room. He wanted to spend time alone, while resting so that his body condition could get better. Long enough for Kevin to spend time alone while reading the newspaper, the door to his room suddenly opened and revealed the figure of Jonathan who came while throwing a faint smile at him."What's wrong, Jonathan?" asked Ke
Kevin exhaled roughly. He certainly remembered what "disease" Quina was suffering from. How could he forget that? It was the disease that made him lose control and throw Joe out of the house and cross his favorite grandson's name off the honorable Bouguler family register. "I wish you knew that the illness your mother always told you about was a lie, Jonathan." Kevin looked at Jonathan with concern, knowing that he couldn't possibly tell Jonathan everything he knew truthfully. "Yes, I remember, Jonathan. I remember your mother's illness very well," Kevin said. "Since Grandpa already knows, I don't need to tell him anymore, right? If I'm being honest, I'd love to live on my own and be as independent as I've always dreamed. Spending time in a remote village, while enjoying the scenery and painting some scenes that are sure to bewitch the eyes of anyone who sees them," said Jonathan. Seeing the frustration of a grandson who had been ignored by him, Kevin immediately asked Jonathan to
"Why are you staying there? Don't you miss your cousin?" asked Joe while stretching out his arms. Jonathan smiled, and immediately approached Joe and gave a hug to the cousin with whom he had not interacted for a long time. "I miss you so much, Joe. How long has it been since we met?" Jonathan released the hug, and immediately sat down on the sofa after being invited by Joe. "More than 3 years since the incident," Joe replied casually. As Joe spoke and answered the questions he asked, Jonathan's body unconsciously stiffened. He was deeply traumatized by the incident, and he wanted to forget everything. But all of that was impossible, unless he had amnesia and of course he had to be willing to forget the people who were very important to him. Of course, she didn't want that to happen. "Why, do... do you still remember those events, Jonathan?" Joe looked at Jonathan with concern, knowing that it had been a very hard blow for his cousin. "Yes, it can't be erased from your memory.
The happy, calm and joyful feelings that Quina felt did not last long, because Joe who was very much after likening Kevin to a "parasite" made the man choose to remain silent in the Bouguler family mansion, even though he received insinuation after insinuation every day. For example like today, where Quina was too sick of seeing Joe still not packing up even though he had been evicted two days ago, making him even bolder to pressure his nephew. "Joe, why are you still here? Didn't Dad ask you to leave yesterday?" Quina asked in a casual tone, but the look in her eyes clearly showed that she was very unhappy with her nephew's presence in the mansion any longer. "I apologized to Grandpa, Aunty. I know I was wrong and although I haven't received any reply from Grandpa so far, I'm sure that Grandpa will forgive me," Joe replied with a wry smile. "Gosh, you're right. I'd forgotten the fact that you're my father's favorite grandchild, so he'll definitely forgive you without a second tho
"Don't be presumptuous, Joe. Your words might provoke speculation from those who hear them," Quina fended off. "Who would dare to speculate in this mansion, Aunty? As you've said before, if someone dares to make a mistake in this mansion, then they won't be able to defend themselves because they'll be kicked out of here first, right?" said Joe with a cynical smile on his lips. Quina gave Joe a sharp look. She wanted to throw a slap at her nephew's face, but she had to refrain from making trouble at times like this so that her position wouldn't be jeopardized. "How dare you reverse the words I've said to you, Joe. Have you lost respect for me after getting to know that bitch?" Quina retorted fiercely. "Bitch?!" Joe's teeth chattered as he held back his emotions. "Watch your language, Aunty! Jesslyn is not a bitch! She's a good girl who comes from a good family."Quina snorted, then chuckled as if mocking Joe who insisted on maintaining Jesslyn's image in her eyes, even though she d
"Aunty?" Joe stared intently right at Quina who was standing sipping her juice with a relaxed expression, it was obvious that she was not bothered at all by her nephew's glare. "What?" replied Quina while raising one eyebrow. She really wasn't scared at all by the warning given by Joe earlier. "Why are you looking at me like that, Joe? Isn't what I'm saying the truth? You're deliberately preparing trivial things like this to attract Dad's attention." Seeing Joe who was getting cornered and only able to glare at her, Quina became more and more. She approached Kevin who hadn't reacted since earlier, then stood beside the man as she said, "Do you consider this forgiveness from my father to be equivalent to those few snacks, Joe? So, the value of the dignity of a leader of the Bouguler family is that low in your eyes?" Hearing the provocative sentence spoken by Quina, Joe shook his head quickly. He looked panicked, especially when his eyes intersected with Kevin's eyes which had been f
"So, you and Jesslyn have been in a relationship for a long time?" asked Kevin with a surprised look in his eyes. It was only natural that he felt that way, because after several years of college, Joe had never once told him about the woman he was close to, let alone having a close relationship. "Yes, Grandpa. I'm sorry for never being honest with you, because Jesslyn and I also have a commitment where our relationship does not need to be exposed, we only focus on learning during college until we succeed later. And now is the right time for me to tell you everything, because I really want to marry her as a proof that I love her, Grandpa." Joe explained with a shy expression. Kevin wandered his gaze in the other direction. He felt a little amused when he saw his grandson looking shy like that. The Joe he knew was a clear picture of a firm man, not like this. It felt like he was starting to doubt whether the person in front of him was really his grandson or not. "Didn't you say that
