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
"What do you mean, Mr. Oddie?" Joe asked the same question that everyone in the meeting room was thinking."Well, I got the same plan from someone yesterday. Someone who came to me personally, and asked me to work with his company," Oddie explained."How could that happen? While this design is purely the result of my thoughts," Joe defends.Oddie was silent, he didn't respond to Joe's defense, because he already felt disappointed by considering the man as a plagiarist."If this is the design you are referring to for the new project, then I choose to cancel our partnership, Mr. Joe. I can't work with someone who takes ideas from others," Oddie said. He got up from his seat, followed by the other investors."Wait! You can't do this, Mr. Oddie. You've signed a partnership between our companies, and You can't just cancel the agreement." Joe looked at Oddie with a deep gaze, as if giving a code that what he was saying now was the truth. "Have a seat, Mr. Oddie and to the other investors."
Joe stepped his heavy feet into the apartment. From the living room, he could clearly see Jesslyn who had gone home ahead of him cooking and serving the cooked food on the dining table."Hey, are you home?" Jess looked at Joe, she immediately went over to her husband and picked up the briefcase that the man had brought. That behavior has been applied since the past few months, she wants to improve her relationship with her husband and she always tries to be a good wife."Yes," Joe replied briefly. "By the way, did you leave early today? Are you not working overtime today?" He asked.Jesslyn shook her head, she walked over first to put her husband's briefcase onto the sofa. "No, I didn't. I'm trying my best not to take overtime anymore. If there is an urgent task, then I will do my best to finish it as soon as possible."Joe nodded. "I'm not against you working late or coming home late, as long as you let me know first, Jess. I don't want you to feel constrained because you're married
Exactly one hour before Rosetta reached her daughter's apartment, a woman suddenly stopped her taxi."What's going on? Is she trying to rob us?" Rosetta asked the taxi driver in a half-panicked tone.The taxi driver looked confused as he stared at the woman walking toward his car door."Open the door!" The woman exclaimed.The taxi driver decided to get out and ask what was happening because the streets were quite crowded."I just want to talk to the woman in the back seat, and I have a personal problem with her."Hearing the woman's words, Rosetta was naturally shocked. "I've never known you, nor do I have any problems with you. Tell me what you want!" Rosetta ordered. "I just want to discuss the document containing the design of your son-in-law's new project." Hearing that, Rosetta instantly fell silent. Inevitably, she got out of the taxi and followed the woman who invited her to speak privately at a cafe not far from their current position."Can you say it now? What exactly do yo
"So, Mom, do you want to explain what happened?" Joe took the matter in his stride, not wanting to be provoked, although inwardly, he felt the emotions that were bubbling up because of his mother-in-law's behavior. Rosetta glanced at Jesslyn, then looked down again because she couldn't bear to get an angry look from her daughter. After preparing herself for about two minutes, she explained what had happened. "Zack asked me to take the laptop. He said he just wanted to borrow it to make a cover letter. Being too happy to hear that Zack wanted to work after a long time, I took the laptop secretly," Rosetta explained with a deep bow. She even dramatized the situation by wiping her eyes, which were not wet."If Zack wanted to borrow my laptop, why didn't he tell me directly? Why are you stealing my laptop? Especially since it's the laptop I use for work. If he or you need a laptop, you can borrow my old laptop, not the one you brought!" Joe suppressed every sentence he spoke, indicating
Jesslyn was snuggled up in a blanket with Joe, her husband. She sank deeper into her husband's embrace to calm her unsettled heart. "What's wrong? Do you regret and disagree with my decision? If you want to give Mom a third chance, I have no problem. I did everything for your comfort," Joe said. Jesslyn shook her head. "Don't take back your decision, Joe. I'm proud that you made the right decision in our relationship," she snapped. "So, what you're saying is that I've never made the right decision all these years? Is that it?" Joe pretended to sulk. He let go and moved Jesslyn's body away from him, which made her purse her lips in displeasure. "It's not like that. It's just that you've been too kind, so it's easy to be controlled and taken advantage of by someone," Jesslyn explained while trying to hug her husband again."Really? So, I'm not a weak and useless man, am I?" Joe raised one eyebrow, teasing Jesslyn, who looked annoyed at not being able to hug her husband back and retu
