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
Quina tossed and turned on the bed. She really felt confined now, all her movements seemed to be locked because she didn't have any money anymore. All her needs had been met by Kevin, so she was not given any cash at all, even the credit card ATM card was also confiscated by that man. "Damn it! Kevin bastard! Why don't you just die, huh?!" Quina hit the pillow hard many times, she imagined that the pillow was Kevin's face. "You ugly old man! Impotent! Why do you have to make me suffer like this? Don't you know the meaning of the turmoil of young people's lust? I'm sure when you were young, you would have done the same thing as me, right? You must have done even more horrible and disgusting things than me!" Quina scolded. After cursing and hitting the pillow, Quina decided to leave her room. She felt very hungry, she hadn't had time to eat since yesterday because her mind was preoccupied with many things including Mark's current condition. Although Mark was not the only affair she
Aaron watched Rosetta and Zack's movements from afar. He felt quite happy when he saw the lives of the two of them who were now far from well-off. Both of them looked unkempt, for clothes alone Aaron was sure the two of them hadn't changed them in more than two days. He wasn't jumping to conclusions, he could tell that by the reactions of the people passing by. They covered their noses and gave Rosetta and Zack disgusted looks. It was obvious that the two's bodies must be giving off an unpleasant scent for people to give off such expressions without any reluctance at all. "It's good to see those traitors picking up their karma quickly." Aaron pointed at the silhouettes of Rosetta and Zack who were moving away. "Look at those two, Moss. They are the ones who dared to betray me. That's what their lives are like, very sad, isn't it? It's lucky you didn't follow in their footsteps, Moss. If you did, then I don't know what your life would be like today." Moss who heard that judgmental
"What's wrong with my car? Why did it break down in a deserted place like this?" complained a sexy woman while checking the engine of her car that wouldn't start. "Come on!" Esther hit the steering wheel of her car. She was really annoyed now that the car wasn't moving at all. Only the occasional sound of the car engine broke the silence of the night. In the midst of the quiet atmosphere, Esther noticed the surrounding situation which looked creepy. "It's so scary here." Esther's eyes began to glaze over because she was very scared of this lonely atmosphere. Moreover, her cell phone was currently at zero which meant she couldn't use it to call for help. While she was preoccupied with the bad thoughts running through her brain, someone suddenly knocked on her car window, making Esther jump in shock. "Who is it?!" Esther screamed as she jumped in shock. "You can take anything from me, but please don't hurt me!" she added in a voice that sounded shaky. "Open your window, Miss. I wo
