"Jo?" Quina was just as surprised as Jonathan. She quickly adjusted her unbuttoned clothes and walked over to Jonathan, who looked shocked and frozen. "Don't touch me, Mom. I'm disgusted," Jonathan said in a shaky voice. All this time, Jonathan had always considered his mother a noble figure worthy of respect. However, when he saw his mother almost having sex with someone, it meant that his mother had cheated on his father, and Jonathan could not tolerate any explanation that his mother would give. After regaining his strength, Jonathan quickly left. He left Quina, still lingering in the room with her mistress. In a different corner, someone seemed to be smiling with satisfaction after seeing the second mess resulting from his cunning plan. "Well done, Moss. You always make me satisfied with your performance," Aaron complimented his faithful secretary. "You are too much, sir. I must carry out your orders." Moss replied while humbling himself. He didn't want to look arrogant afte
After getting advice from Ben, which was enough to make them breathe a sigh of relief, especially Jesslyn, who was eager to help her family but hesitant to do so, they continued their journey to the hospital where Oddie was currently being treated. "How is Mr. Oddie's condition right now, Lucas? Has it shown good progress?" asked Joe to Lucas, who seemed to be holding back his sleepiness. "Since yesterday, Mr. Oddie has not shown any signs of coming out of his stupor. I asked the doctor on duty about this, and he said that Mr. Oddie would wake up within the next hour or two. Currently, Mr. Oddie is under the influence of medication, so it's only natural that he's still unconscious," Lucas explained with a yawn. "Hopefully, Mr. Oddie will wake up soon and recover like before. I feel very sorry for him. His daughter just died, and now he has to receive even more shocking news about her behavior. If I were him, I probably wouldn't have survived this far," Jesslyn said sadly. Lucas an
Joe tried to cheer Jonathan up. He even asked Christine to bring him snacks to help his cousin feel better. He deliberately postponed his work to accompany the man immersed in his sadness. "What should I do, Joe? I'm baffled now. I won't be able to act like I used to with Mommy, and I certainly won't forget that incident. I'm confused. What should I do in response to the affair? Should I tell Daddy everything, or what?" Jonathan bombarded Joe with many questions. Joe thought momentarily, then calmly replied, "I can't give you much advice, Jonathan. But I think I can do one thing for you." "What is it?" asked Jonathan. Joe then answered in a whispered voice, to which Jonathan responded pleasedly. "Thank you, Joe. You're the only one who can understand me. If I had known that you could help me escape this, I would have come to you sooner and fought the fear of Mommy telling me to stay home," Jonathan said. "Everything has its time, Jonathan. The revelation of your mother's affair m
Jesslyn was stunned, her movements instantly frozen after hearing Oddie's request, which she thought sounded unreasonable. "Mr. Oddie, it looks like you're still not one hundred percent conscious. I'll call for a doctor in case there are some checks he missed," Jesslyn said, preparing to stand up and call back the doctor who had come out a few moments ago. "No, Mrs. Jesslyn," Oddie argued. "I'm not that sick that I can't realize what I'm saying right now. I want you to be my adopted daughter if you're willing. It's been a long time since I've heard someone this happy to see me in pain like this, and the way you've treated me is enough to make me believe that you're a good person and make me want to have a daughter like you." Jesslyn stared deeply at Oddie. She looked at the man intently, trying to judge whether the man was really awake or still under the influence of drugs. "Do you mean what you're saying right now, Mr. Oddie?" asked Jesslyn for reassurance. Oddie nodded. "Yes. L
"Let's talk in my office," Joe ordered with a cold look in his eyes. He couldn't tolerate the ruckus Quina had created, let alone her making a scene in his office. "No. Explain here and explain to me, where my son went!" Quina tried to intimidate Joe, but her efforts didn't work. "No." "Explain to me, bastard!" "All right, I'll grant your wish. But don't blame me if you feel embarrassed that your family's private matters could be known by many people," Joe challenged. Quina was silent. Finally, the arrogant woman had to swallow her ego and chose to follow Joe upstairs. "I didn't expect a classy woman like Mrs Quina to act like such an anarchist," whispered one of the employees, but his voice was still loud enough to be heard by Quina and Joe, who were a few meters ahead of them. Quina growled in annoyance, for a split second, she cursed at her behaviour, preferring to act anarchist instead of approaching Joe in the usual way. Jonathan's departure after their dispute made Quina
Quina tossed her tired body after spending quite a lot of energy arguing with Joe. She did not expect that asking for an explanation from her nephew would be so tiring, more tiring than doing many rounds of sex with Mark. "Looks like I need some fun," Quina murmured. Quickly, she grabbed her cell phone and texted Mark, asking him to come to the secret apartment she always used to go to to do forbidden things with her friends. Ten minutes passed, and there was no answer at all. Quina furrowed her brow. She was curious why Mark had yet to reply to her message, even though he usually always responded to her messages as soon as he got the chance. "Is Mark on an important assignment?" Quina wondered. "CK, it must be all because of old Kevin. He must have given my boyfriend a difficult assignment." Quina clucked in annoyance. She tossed and turned to relieve the fatigue and boredom she was feeling at the moment. "Why doesn't Kevin just die? He's too old to live in this world. If he die
Quina kept her head down. She did not want to look at Kevin, who was filled with anger. Not unwilling, rather not daring at all to look at the angry face shown by her father. "Explain what's on your mind, Quina. Why do you have such stupid thoughts, huh? Are you and your husband in such a bad relationship that you would rather have an affair with my asistant?" Kevin repeated his question. He wanted to get further explanation from Quina's lips directly, even though he already knew what happened. "Explain in detail, or you will get a punishment that you did not expect at all," Kevin threatened. Quina rolled up the sleeves of her dress to reduce the nervousness in her heart; who knows where the ego and arrogance that she had been showing to everyone went because now she looked frail and looked like a woman who could not do anything. More precisely, Quina successfully portrayed the portrait of an innocent and naive woman at this time."Quina!" Kevin snapped at his daughter once again.
By Lucas's previous request, the next day, Joe went straight to the man's house early in the morning. He didn't even tell Jesslyn about his meeting with the man because he didn't know the content of their meeting yet. He didn't want her to panic attack like yesterday when she discovered that Rosetta and Zack were nowhere to be found."Would you like to have breakfast first?" offered Lucas as he invited Joe to sit in the living room chair. "No, I don't. I had breakfast earlier. If you want to have breakfast, go ahead. I don't want to interrupt your morning activities with my visit," Joe responded. "I'm not used to having breakfast. I offered it to you because you seem to be the type of person who would always eat breakfast, and you came too early. Who knows, you haven't had breakfast yet." Lucas said while serving him a cup of coffee and a jar of snacks in front of Joe. "Why are you serving the food? Where are your servants?" Joe asked. "I mean, your other servants besides Noona," h
