"Argh... Damn you, Joe! I swear I'll beat you next time and never let you taste happiness!" Aaron exclaimed angrily, with his face bright red from his current anger.Aaron was so angry because he lost again to fight Joe in court. Luckily, this time, it was only Amber who received all the consequences because he put himself as the one who moved behind the scenes from the beginning."Luckily, I didn't show up and clarify the connection between me and Amber. So, only that stupid woman was punished for making a false report by distorting the facts." Aaron felt a little grateful behind the anger filling his heart."But I can't stay still. I don't want to lose! I never lose! I have to devise a better plan and ensure that I will succeed in destroying Joe to his roots. Argh! You bastard Joe! Why does Goddess Fortuna always favor you, huh?!" He was moving angrily again.Just as Aaron focused on his anger, a knock on his study door distracted him momentarily. He put his anger aside and got up a
Inside the prison, Amber banged her head repeatedly against the wall to relieve the stress and headache she was currently feeling. She cursed herself for falling into the trap set by Joe."I shouldn't have granted Ed's request, who wanted me to report that bastard Joe to the police! I should have been suspicious and more careful because Joe would never forget the person who ruined his business."As she cursed and scoffed at herself, Amber's memory seemed to be drawn back to the events of a few days ago, precisely at the trial.***"What do you mean, Mr. Joe?" The judge asked Joe about the ambiguous statement made by the man.With a mysterious smile, Joe coded Rossie to give the judge another piece of evidence he had kept for a long time."Please judge for yourself, Your Honor Judge." Joe exhaled slowly, then continued, "The document contains the losses I incurred while running the business and eventually ended up in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy made me delay payment to the employees for
After Rosetta's first arrival a few days ago, the woman started visiting her daughter regularly every day.Jesslyn could only accept her mother's arrival with mixed feelings because the relationship between them was not that close to visiting each other every day. Moreover, the last time they met ended in a big fight, so the event was firmly entrenched in her brain and made her uncomfortable with her mother's daily visits."What is it again, Mom? What excuse are you going to use this time?" Jesslyn went straight to the point with her mother. She couldn't hold it in any longer."You don't want to allow me to enter before asking that sarcastic question, my daughter?" Rosetta snorted. She looked annoyed but tried her best to manage her emotions so that her relationship with the princess would not be further strained.Jesslyn rolled her eyes lazily, then allowed her mother to enter her apartment. "Sit down, Mom. Then, tell me the reason why you came here?"Rosetta started her act, she did
The next day, Rosetta didn't come back to Jesslyn's apartment. She still harbors resentment towards her daughter for what happened yesterday."Why is Mom home today? Did Mom not go to Jesslyn's apartment today?" Zack asked. He was surprised his mother still needed to carry out their plan to approach Jesslyn for money."Later! I'm still pissed off with that kid!" Rosetta snorted in annoyance. She took a quick sip of her coffee, letting the caffeine-filled beverage enter her body and improve her mood."What happened?" asked Zack curiously. "If it was just because of Jesslyn's snide remarks, Mom should have held back. Aren't we used to her sharp words?" He continued."It's not just because of Jesslyn's sharp words, but she's done worse than that to me!" Rosetta pointed at herself. The irritation that had slightly diminished after drinking the coffee returned as she recalled yesterday's events. "She threw me out violently after I gave her a fancy dress! Can you imagine that? She kicked me
Sarah massaged her aching temples, having overthought the threat Aaron had given her.Remembering the threat, Sarah seemed to want to curse the meeting between her and Aaron one month ago.***"Hey, do you want to dance with me?" Aaron asked Sarah, who also happened to be attending the wedding invitation party of one of the famous restaurant entrepreneurs."Yes?" Sarah looked selectively at Aaron because she didn't know him."Are you willing to dance with me?" repeated Aaron. This time, he reached out while bending his body, making Sarah uncomfortable about refusing his invitation, especially now that several pairs of eyes were watching them."Of course," Sarah welcomed Aaron's hand, and then they both danced in a reasonably close position.Whispers were heard as the two of them danced. They all agreed to praise the two who looked very suitable."Very lucky, Mr. Aaron, to invite the daughter of the very influential Mr. Oddie to dance," said one of the young men, who had been looking e
Aaron sipped his wine in a pleased mood, as his second plan seemed to be going smoothly, smoother than his plan to take down Joe through Sarah."Let's count, 1, 2, ... 3," Aaron raised his fingers one by one, and right at the count of three, he saw a semi-conscious Zack being pulled out of the room he was sharing with Delia."He's strong too. Can spend all night just making love," Aaron muttered.Zack, who was still semi-conscious, could only stare at the bodyguards who were still pulling him roughly with a stupid look. Inwardly, he thought, "What the hell is going on?"With a single jerk, Zack's body was pushed to the floor right after he was given a slap on the side of his face."Ouch! What are you doing?" Zack shouted. His life seemed to be forcibly pulled from another world until his head felt even more dizzy because he was still suffering from a hangover."Why did you hit me?" Zack got up with staggering movements, staring stupidly at the bodyguard before him."You're still askin
Zack returned to his house happy, even though his face showed the opposite."Zack, what's wrong with you?" Rosetta panicked when she first saw the condition of her son, who came home with several bruises on his face. "Who dares to do this to you? Tell me, let me get back at them!" She said confidently, which immediately provoked a rude snort from Zack."How can Mom get back at the people who hurt me, huh? I can't even withstand their blows, let alone you," He mocked.Rosetta's expression, which initially looked worried, instantly turned into annoyance. "Whatever! Treat your wounds yourself!" She said in exasperation."Uh, Mom!" Zack held back his mother's hand. He couldn't afford to waste an opportunity to talk privately with his mother, especially now that Noona wasn't at home, and now was the most appropriate time to convey the plan he had laid out."What else? You still want to belittle me?" retorted Rosetta, rolling her eyes in annoyance."No, that's not it. I have something that
Rosetta returned to her house to meet Zack, the purpose of course being to give her son the item he had requested."Zack, wake up," Rosetta pleaded as she shook her son's body. Occasionally, she checked right and left to ensure Noona was away right now."Zack!" This time, Rosetta shook her son's body more vigorously."Uhm, mom?" Zack rubbed his eyes, then looked at his mother, who was carrying a bag she had been taking a lot lately. "What's wrong? I'm so sleepy," He complained."Here, I have successfully retrieved the data you are referring to," Rosetta said quickly. Her eyes still seemed to sparkle, and a sense of happiness surrounded her heart because she would soon get a lot of money."Re-really?" Zack sat up quickly, making his head dizzy from the sudden movement. "Here! Let me check! Where's the flash drive?" He asked, holding his hand.Instead of giving him the pen drive, Rosetta gave him her bag. It was a large bag that she had been using to hold her clothes when she went to Je
