At Mr. Zay's house, everyone gathered at the dining table.Mr. Zay, as the head of the family, sat on the chair at the end. He savored his food as he looked at his children sitting on his right and left."Father, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't stare at us like that," Chloe, Mr. Zay's second child, grumbled irritably.Then she looked down deeply and muttered, "You're like the invigilator during my exams."However, instead of speaking, Mr. Zay looked down and continued eating solemnly.The third child and Mr. Zay's youngest child, who is seven years old, glanced at each other and kicked each other's legs under the table.Clarita, ignoring others, suddenly stopped her cutlery movements when she remembered something and looked at Mr. Zay. "Father."Mr. Zay looked up without making a sound."I heard that Felix works for our company. Is that true?" asked Clarita to the point."It's true," Mr. Zay replied, nodding slowly. "Why? Are you getting interested in the business and
Recently, Felix has been busy going back and forth from the Zay Group to the Vogue Group. It was common for him to clock out and be at Vogue Group for an entire day.Everyone in the marketing division was angry at first, no matter how mesmerized they were when they saw Felix's handsome appearance a while ago. However, when they reported it to Manager Agatha, they received a warning and the fact that Felix had gone with Chairman Zay.Because of this, everyone became silent and didn't dare to bring up Felix's absence anymore.Even so, Van and Bella seemed to fear nothing. They continued to try to provoke the others and said many bad things about Felix. They even boldly went to Ardo, their old best friend who now sided with Felix."Hey, traitor, how are you now? Oh, of course, you're happy, right? You're now friends with someone much better than us. By the way, what have you gotten from Felix?" Bella propped her hands on the side of Ardo's desk and looked at him with a mocking smile.Ard
"I was sweeping the yard and found it near the gate," Benton explained hesitantly. Then he lowered his head slightly and spoke again in a low voice filled with regret and fear. "I thought it was just a prankster, so I opened it. Sir, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to be presumptuous. However, that's the invitation... will you be coming?""Since they've invited it, of course, I should come," Felix replied lightly.His hand moved slowly to open the invitation ribbon and envelope and pulled out a card of the same size. He read them one by one.Ardo, who was beside him, was curious and peeked. However, one word written in large letters made him immediately wide-eyed and pulled away while pointing at the invitation. "That... that, isn't that your ex-wife's name?"Felix's face changed slightly, but a moment later, it returned to flat, so the two people nearby didn't notice."How shameless she is! Felix, there's no need to come! Just throw away the invitation!" Ardo angrily grabbed the invita
A waiter came and led Felix and Ardo to an empty table.Felix just followed casually without taking his eyes straight ahead. But Ardo was different. He was looking around with a deeply furrowed brow. And because he wasn't paying attention to the path in front of him, he almost fell over by stumbling."Ardo!" reprimanded Felix quietly.Ardo immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at Felix in surprise. "What's the concept here? Doesn't the invitation say wedding? Why is it like a club? Felix, it's so noisy!""I don't know either. Let's wait," Felix said.Sure enough, right after that, Arista arrived with Pablo. She wore a red knee-length dress with smokey eye makeup, making her look energetic. Next to her, Pablo also wore a similar color.They walked towards the small stage and smiled widely.Felix lowered his gaze, reluctant to look at them.At that moment, a male waiter watching him slowly approached with a tray of drinks. However, he handed it to Felix without saying a single word.
"Felix," Ardo called in a low voice."I'm tired. I want to rest soon," Felix replied without stopping his steps as he began to climb the stairs.Ardo's steps stopped right in front of the first step. He looked at Felix's retreating back and finally said, "Alright. Tomorrow, you don't have to take me home. I can go by myself.""No, I won't. I'll come with you," Felix replied vaguely.Ardo sighed softly and continued to stare in the direction Felix had gone, even though the man was no longer in sight.As he turned around to go to his room, he was surprised by Benton standing nearby. "Oh my!""Sorry." Benton grimaced softly and stepped back to keep his distance."You just surprised me." Ardo really didn't have the energy to speak. So he looked down lethargically and was about to continue his steps, but Benton quickly blocked him, making him inevitably raise his head and ask, "What's wrong?""Mr. Felix-" Benton glanced at the stairs and gave Ardo a serious look. "Is he okay?"Ardo's brow
Ardo was stunned for a moment. It was only after Felix disappeared that he came to his senses and quickly grabbed his suitcase and chased after him.The place where Ardo lived was not too far from the Zay Group company. It was a small, simple apartment.Once the two were in a car traveling normally, Ardo asked seriously. "Felix, how did you know that last night's drink contained poison?"There was silence for a while. Finally, Felix answered calmly, "The smell was strange. It wasn't sweet or fragrant like a normal drink.""But what did they do that for?" Ardo turned his body to face forward and frowned in confusion while holding his chin. "No, that's not it... why are they so bold? Shouldn't it be done secretly with a poison that has no scent? Isn't that tantamount to showing the public? If anything happens to you, with so many people, isn't that tantamount to suicide? The two of them will not be spared from questioning and investigation."Then he looked at Felix with an earnest gaze.
After finishing his black card, Felix drove his car and stopped in front of a real estate building.He entered the building casually until a male employee came up to him."Can you help me?" Felix asked.The male employee frowned and gave Felix an annoyed look. "Are you sure you want to buy it? If it's just to look around, you'd better leave. My time is too valuable for someone like that."Instantly, Felix's friendly face disappeared and became flat. Even his gaze looked cold.No matter where he was, why did he always meet people like this?He felt like buying every building in the city and kicking out everyone with this attitude. How sickening!"No need, then." With that, Felix walked away without another glance at the man.He walked straight ahead and found a female employee talking to a male customer. It wasn't long before the man left, leaving the employee alone.Felix rushed over and said, "I want a house. Can you help me?"The male employee Felix left behind snorted sarcastically
"Stop being silly, Arista! You're my wife now. Look, we're even still in our wedding clothes, and you want to go see that poor guy?" Pablo shook his head in disbelief. His gaze was intense as he stepped forward and took Arista firmly by both arms. "Don't embarrass me, Arista. Let's enjoy our wedding day. Isn't this what we've always wanted?"However, Arista looked angry. Her eyes turned red, and she brushed off Pablo's hand, holding her arm, and stepped back. "Embarrass you? Pablo, do you think my good intentions are something to be ashamed of?""Don't you remember what happened yesterday? Your name was almost ruined! All your efforts and hard work could have been lost in an instant if Felix had died in our house! I just wanted to explain to Felix, at least, so he wouldn't talk about this to outsiders! Pablo, I just want to help you!" Arista cried with tears in her eyes.Seeing her like this, Pablo's heart ached.He immediately softened his heart and hugged Arista tightly. "I'm sorry.
