The car Felix was driving stopped in the courtyard of the villa. Emmett, who had been waiting in the pavilion, hurried over. He stood quietly by the car door, which soon opened. "Sir, where are you from? Are you tired? I'll cook for lunch. What would you like to eat?"Felix's movement to close the car door instantly stopped. His gaze was fixed on Emmett. He was still chatty even after setting the question about his past. Felix let out a soft sigh. He closed the car door and stepped into the villa. "No need to cook. You wait there for a while, there will be food delivered soon.""Oh? Okay!" Without asking any more questions, Emmett immediately complied and stood upright on the first step.Felix silently turned around, looked at him momentarily, and sighed softly.Who would have thought that someone as chatty as him would have such a dark past? It's true, everything has a cause and effect. Emmett's existence here, as well as his cheerful demeanor, resulted from the betrayal of the pers
"Sir, do you want to destroy this village?" Emmett continued to follow Felix as he entered the villa. His trembling voice sounded sad and disappointed. "Why?""Because it's not worth it," Felix replied as he quickened his pace up the stairs, making Emmett stop and stare at his departure with reddened eyes.He thought his master was a good person who disliked interfering in other people's lives. Since the first time they met, he also seemed calm. Even though his expression was always flat, he did not show the arrogant attitude of an employer. He was comfortable working here and became more attached to the master.But it turns out that rich people are the same. Always disturbing the lives of people who are lower than them.Then, was the food he gave him earlier just a bribe? Emmett's heartache grew as he thought about this.After making him and everyone else in the village happy, he dropped him into the deepest abyss.This village was the only place they could live for the rest of their
"Sir! Sir! You're here!" shouted Emmett on the side of the road in front of the villa with both hands raised enthusiastically as he saw Felix's car stop in front of him. He immediately ran to the driver's side door, waiting for Felix to come out with a big smile. "Sir, I finally get to see you again!""Who are you calling Mister? I don't recognize you. Get out of my way!" Instead, Felix brusquely walked past him towards the village.Of course, Emmett followed quickly. His smile grew wider with his eyes sparkling. "Sir, where are you from? Why haven't you been back in three days? I was worried about you. If you're tired, you might as well get some rest. I'll get Owen to massage you and cook you a nice meal.""Oh yes, by the way, the construction has started since the day before yesterday, and until now, it has been going smoothly. Everyone is very happy, especially after seeing the picture of the house you gave us." Emmett suddenly stopped his steps and made an upright posture, then bo
As soon as the door was opened, two shabbily dressed men with the haggard faces of beggars appeared."Sorry, looking for who?" Emmett asked immediately.Instead of answering, the two men knelt, grabbing Emmett's leg, making him startle and pull away."Help us. We haven't had anything to eat for three days. Please give us some food. Benefactor, help us!""Our meeting is fate. We believe that you are a good person who can help us. Please give us some food, benefactor!"Emmett furrowed his brow in displeasure, not because of their words but because of his actions. Fortunately, this villa was located at the end and in a secluded place, so there were no passers-by. "Get up, don't act like this!"One of the men raised his head. "Are you going to give us some food?""Get up first!" Emmett insisted that they end the action. But he didn't move forward to help them either."Benefactor! We didn't intend to do anything. We just want to ask for some food. Help us!" The man who had just spoken lowe
"You're so helpless, you're still arrogant!" The man who was still holding the dagger clucked lightly. He smiled wryly when he saw Emmett's fierce expression. "Shut his mouth! He's too loud!""Okay!" The other man rushed over to Emmett, who was slowly stepping back warily."You looked so brave earlier, why are you staying away now? Come here and face me if you can," the man said while rubbing his clenched right hand.Of course, with his bound condition and injured arm, Emmett would not be able to fight them. Even if his ability were excellent, it wouldn't work because he hadn't used it in a long time.However, he wouldn't just give up and let these two lunatics mess up his master's villa."If you're so manly, let's have a fair fight. One on one. And remove the rope that binds me!" Emmett stopped his steps and looked at him with determination.Instantly, the look on the man's face changed. "Repeat after me!""Are your ears not functioning properly that you can't hear clearly what I'm s
"Sir, what about them?" asked Emmett as he limped along as Felix pulled him forcefully towards the main door."Leave them alone," Felix said, exerting even more energy to carry Emmett.However, instead of getting lighter, it felt heavier. Emmett held on with all his might. His gaze, which had been on the two thieves tied up with their backs to each other, immediately shifted to Felix. "We can't! We can't leave them here, even if they're unconscious. Who knows if they'll do something harmful again? No! We need to call the police immediately!"Felix's steps stopped instantly. He took a deep breath and turned around. "Can you just shut up? Your wound needs to be treated immediately. The longer we stay here, the greater the risk of your wound becoming infected.""In that case, hurry up and call the police! I won't leave if they're still here!" Emmett replied stubbornly. And this succeeded in stirring up some resentment in Felix's heart.However, he was reluctant to respond and chose to pu
With such a choice only a fool would choose the second option. Being able to work well is a blessing, how could they refuse it? Especially after seeing the extraordinary condition of the Villa."We choose the first one!"Their voices sounded firm, full of determination and new hope for the future.From then on, Felix officially recruited them as security guards for the villa and the village. A work agreement with several conditions was clearly written in a contract that received signatures from both parties. Felix's salary was no joke. Although not on par with Benton's salary, it was exceptional for the work they did. All that Felix did was to make them truly dedicate themselves to him.No one could guarantee whether they would really change and do their job properly or not. Verbal promises and written promises have no meaning anymore. Everything depends on the determination of each person's heart. Therefore, Felix wanted to appeal to their sympathies so that they would dedicate their
Secretary Jorell did the same. Just as he was about to press the bell for the third time, a guard came and looked at him sharply from behind the gate."Looking for who?" he asked in a voice that sounded fierce.Although he had faced guards like this many times, now, Secretary Jorell still felt nervous. He cleared his throat, and for a moment, his brain went blank. What should he answer?Seeing his silence, the guard snapped with bulging eyes. "If you have no business, please leave!""Uh, no! Wait!" Instantly, Secretary Jorell became agitated. "Wait a moment."Then he tilted his body, picked up his cell phone, and whispered, "Sir, who should I look for?""Veronica. Tell me you're the secretary," Felix replied quickly.Secretary Jorell nodded in understanding and turned back to the guard. "I am the secretary of Mr. Felix, here to see Miss Veronica. Is she inside?"In an instant, the guard's face changed. His previously fierce expression turned friendly. He even smiled as he opened the g
