[New Orleans] Victor almost choked when he heard what Scarlett said to him; about the explanation of Scarlett's words before. But Victor did not expect that he would hear such a tragic story of Matthias and Sahara's love story. "You may not believe me, but a mother will never forget how she lost her son." Scarlett said that Matthias didn't die in an accident or because of health problems, but Antonio had a big part in it. "Is that why the reason for Mr. Matthias' death was never known to the common people?" Scarlett nodded. "Do I sound like I'm making things up?" "No, I believe you, Mrs. Scarlett." Victor replied immediately. "Because I also know that cold-hearted demon is not someone who considers the lives of others is something precious, let alone those of people he doesn't like." Victor clenched his fists and held himself back as he recalled the night he had knelt and begged in front of Antonio, only to be rejected and humiliated by him. The night when Victor failed to sav
[Denver] Xiel couldn't feel at ease after what happened to Tiffany's brother. Even if it was only for a moment, Xiel could feel that Tiffany was a little awkward and trying to stay away from him. What the man said who attacked Jayden to Tiffany must have affected the girl, and although Xiel had promised to prove that he had nothing to do with the attacker, Tiffany still had her doubts about him.Until Xiel could prove it to Tiffany, the girl had a high probability of continuing to keep her distance from him. If Xiel lost Tiffany's trust, he would not be able to threaten Miguel while he had not gotten what he wanted. Or for the last resort.... "I should really kill that girl." But Xiel didn't look happy about that possibility, maybe because he had to go the extra mile and it was troublesome? Or because he really didn't want to hurt Tiffany. Either way, the amount of time they spent together as teacher and student, and as friends, must have made Xiel have some sympathy for the gi
[Baton Rouge] Victor was done with his business in New Orleans; he held a lively and memorable grand opening for the New Orleans branch store of the Vyctrous, and his business with the Smith family had brought him many surprises. "I'm still a little dumbfounded by what I know now." Victor muttered, making the woman beside him ask. "What's happen, Sir?" Victor realized that he had made Ella interested by what he had said, while it was his personal business. Victor shook his head. The car pulled up in front of the office building, Victor getting out first and Ella following behind. "How was your day in New Orleans, Ella?" asked Victor, walking with Ella into the building. "It was your first business trip as my assistant, wasn't it?" "Yes, sir, and it was quite enjoyable. I've never been on such a pleasant business trip in my latest companies before." Victor smiled; quite pleased to hear the impression Ella had of the business he owned. Ella had only been on the job for two mont
An unexpected arrival for everyone in Antonio Leighton's mansion at the moment. For a guest had come in his eccentric appearance and said he wanted to congratulate a newborn grandson.The eccentric appearance was not because of his shiny, glitter-filled clothes, but because he, Victor Leighton, was carrying a famous car and several boxes of diamonds. What's even more absurd is that Victor says it's all a gift for Verlaine and Maria's newborn son."No one told me about the birth of my first nephew, but no matter." Victor smiled casually as he shrugged his shoulders and said, "CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME BABY BOY, UNCLE COMES TO SEE YA. DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE ME, YOUR AMAZING UNCLE VICTOR!"All the servants who came to receive Victor's gift looked a little distressed. Not just because the person they used to mock and despise was now carrying a lot of diamonds; but because it made them feel intimidated and they didn't even dare to speak to Victor.Their minds seemed to be saying, "I'd bet
"Do you know my mother?" That was Victor's brief response to Sahara's words. It was nice to hear Sahara praise her late mother, but hearing it from someone who had never been close to Rose only made Victor feel slightly amused. Victor hoped Sahara wasn't saying that just to comfort Victor, or out of pity. "I'm sorry, did I sound like I was trying to look familiar with your mother?" asked Sahara, looking a little awkward. "I've only spoken to her a few times and we're not close, but the Rose I know is a strong but gentle Rose." Victor looked at Sahara. "What do you mean, you were friends without anyone knowing?" "Actually Rose is a nice person and fun to talk to, I always liked the times I could talk to her like a friend; it's like little sentences marked with color when the whole book is just black and white. I wish I could tell her that I'm glad she wants to be my friend, even though at first she also thought I would bother her like Madame Sera and Madame Giselle did." "Wow...
[Denver]Tiffany came to see her brother, Jayden, who still hospitalized due to his pretty serious injury. Jayden already concious, but he still so weak that the hospital couldn't let him met some people in a day."How's your feeling, Jay?" Tiffany asked."More way better than before. I think it's because a lot blood I lost, but when my body is getting better, I'm sure I could acompanny you to another vacation.""Stupid!""What?" Jayden sound effended, looking at Tiffany and felt silent when he saw his little sister was about to crying. "Hey, little lady, are you crying?""What a silly words to say! How can you you say it in a calm way while I almost going crazy the first time I saw you bleeding like a float!"Jayden still weak, he couldn't sit yet but he wanted to hold Tiffany to calmed her down."Tiffany, don't cry. I am okay now," he said, but Tiffany still needed some time to stop crying.Jayden only held Tiffany's hand and waiting.After Tiffany finished crying, Jayden smiled wit
"Ethan?"Ethan walked up to Tiffany who was silent and looked incredulous at his arrival. How could she not? She hadn't seen Ethan or talked to him in a long time because he was so busy, and the day Jayden got hurt, Ethan didn't show himself either.But today Ethan came, not even smiling at Tiffany who missed him and instead being cold to Xiel."Why do you keep talking like you're urging him? Didn't you hear that he wanted to take a break from training?" Ethan asked Xiel, seemingly annoyed with Xiel.Xiel just looked down, unable to fight back even though he was a little annoyed by Ethan's arrival."I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan. I was just giving advice to Tiffany as her teacher.""If you're her teacher, give her advice at school. Did you need to come here just to ask her to come to practice? Do you know it makes her uncomfortable?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry again."Ethan said nothing, leaving and acting indifferent to Xiel. He took Tiffany's hand to leave, but just a few steps into the walk, Tif
Ethan opened the door to his mother's room without knocking first. There was Karina lying on the bed wearing a mask, taking care of her skin, while a lot of work files were piled up on her desk. "Mom." Ethan called out, there was no reaction and it made Ethan think Karina was sleeping. But she wasn't. "Hearing someone open my bedroom door without knocking, I guessed that my firstborn was here," Karina threw away the cucumber that covered her eyes and looked at Ethan with a smile as she sat up. "Welcome back, Ethan; do you still want a hug from me?" Ethan didn't look interested. He approached his mother's bed and said, "Do you know where Tiffany is now?" Karina glanced at her watch and casually replied, "Isn't it piano practice time? She must have gone to practice with Mr. Addams. I heard the piano competition is coming up soon, I can't wait to see it." "Mom, do you know that man? Why did you let Tiffany go with him without giving her a bodyguard?" "Tiffany asked me not to give h
