Chapter 109.Nate's face paled. His heart was beating very fast because he heard someone falling from a height. He was worried and anxious, afraid that it was Erica, but he couldn't check because he was still hanging on the metal. She tried to stand back up, but found it difficult as she had no foothold to stand on."Erica?!" Nate shouted in a very loud voice. He tried to confirm whether it was Erica or Irene. But there was no response from them other than silence.Elsewhere, Erica covered her face as she saw Irene's body fall and hit the factory floor very hard. Fresh blood flowed from her head. She died a horrible death.Erica's body trembled with fear. She cried as she sat at her feet. It was the first time she had ever seen a dead body before her eyes. And because of her, Irene died.She didn't know what to do. Her mind was in turmoil as she feared something worse might happen. But all she could do was defend herself because Irene was trying to kidnap her.There was no way he was
Nate had just come from the toilet and when he came out, he saw Erica had woken up from her sleep and was daydreaming. Nate realized that Erica was daydreaming because when he came out, he called her but Erica was just silent."Erica?" called Nate, again. He walked over to the bed.However, Erica was still staring at the hospital room window as if she hadn't heard his call at all. Nate was overcome with worry. He was afraid that, due to the problems that occurred last night, Erica would be traumatized and mentally unstable because she had just seen someone die right in front of her own eyes."Erica?" Nate called back. He touched Erica's shoulder lightly so as not to startle her. "Erica, do you hear me?" he asked again.Erica gasped in surprise when Nate called her so close and she just realized that Nate was already beside her. She was too busy thinking about the fundraising event that would be held in a few days. And she was thinking about whether she should accept the offer from Joh
Nate could only stay silent when Maria said things like that to him. This was not the first time Maria had threatened him to leave the house or told him to divorce Erica. Since the beginning of the marriage, Erica's family had never liked him because Nate was just a poor, useless man.In fact, it took Nate a long time to make Erica love him. In the end, he realizes his feelings and they are now in love with each other even though their marriage happened because of Erica's grandfather's request.However, they never knew that Nate was the president of the Bluebel Holdings Company. A well-known company with billions of dollars in assets. Nate deliberately did not tell everyone about his true identity because he would say it at the right time."If you're talking nonsense again and Erica can't make it to the event, I'm sure you'll regret it!" Maria scolded with her eyes bulging. Her hands were clenched tightly to contain her exploding anger.She was fed up that people kept putting Erica do
John Yates stared at his cell phone for a long time as his message had not been returned by Erica since their call a few days ago. When he offered Erica to go to the hotel with him if she wanted to be able to come to the fundraising event that would be held in a few days.Erica accepted his offer at the time, but after that, there was no news from Erica. He called her several times, but her cell phone was off. And when he came to her office, they said that Erica was having a holiday with Nate.It made John feel upset that Erica was ignoring him. He also sent her a message and again asked if Erica was willing to come to the hotel with him, if not, he would tear up the invitation he had prepared.A little threat, but still no reply from Erica. It made John Yates feel frustrated that Erica ignored his messages and calls when she had previously asked him for help so that she could come to the fundraising event."Is she selling me out?" sneered John. But that was impossible because he knew
A few days ago, John Yates asked someone who worked as a hired gun to help him in his plan to frame Erica. He met him at a cafe right after Erica accepted John's offer to go to the hotel with him."Are you Heather?" John asked a man wearing all-black clothes and a hat of the same color.The man named Heather nodded his head and John immediately sat down on the chair right in front of him."How long have you been doing this kind of work?" John asked bluntly. In a cold and stern tone while his arms were crossed over his chest."Why, don't you trust my experience?" he asked."Just making sure that I won't regret hiring you. And I will also give you a lot of money from the work you will do later," John said."As long as you don't ask me to kill, just to take some photos that could lead to misunderstandings, I'm good at it," Heather said confidently.He had been working as a mercenary for more than five years. And from that work, he earned a lot of money from his rich clients. Some of them
Erica's hands were still shaking with anxiety after she accepted the offer. She didn't know if she had made the right decision by coming to the hotel with John Yates. But seeing John's casual behavior, she was sure that John only wanted to help her without planning anything bad for her."When are we leaving?" John asked with a grin."I have a meeting first. We'll go after my meeting is over," Erica informed him."Alright, then I'll wait for you here quietly," said John who sat back on the sofa while crossing his legs."You'll wait here?" asked Erica while frowning."Yes. Is there something wrong with that?" John relaxed his shoulders. Being as casual as possible in Erica's presence. He didn't want to waste time by going back to his office because it would take even longer to go back and forth. "It's more practical if I stay here waiting for you and we can go straight to the hotel after you finish the meeting.""Butー""Don't worry. I don't mind at all," John cut off Erica's words quick
Nate didn't know who had sent the photos to him, but for sure, he had a bad motive. The person knew that he or she would be angry and upset after seeing the pictures of Erica together with another man while she already had a husband. People who saw them would think that Erica had cheated on Nate.Moreover, people's views on Nate never appreciated him as Erica's husband because he was jobless and poor. So they never considered Nate as the husband of Erica who was the CEO of the Starry White Company.Nante once again looked at the photos that the anonymous sent to him and checked more carefully the face of the man who was with Erica. But still, Nate couldn't see his face and couldn't guess who the man was because only his back was visible. While Erica's face was very clear they got into the car together."Shit," Nate cursed while clutching his cell phone. He slammed his cell phone on the table and stood up his frustration mounting.He had called Erica after he saw all the photos the ano
The slap was so loud that it made everyone there immediately stop stepping and doing something. The atmosphere turned into silence when they first saw Nate angry while all this time he had only seen Nate who was always silent even though many people denigrated or mocked him.They were surprised that Nate could get angry and slap one of the workers who seemed to be playing tricks on him. The slap left one of the male staff red in the face and the corner of his lip injured. Clearly Nate was using a lot of energy to teach the person who had been disrespectful to him."What are you doing?" asked the male staffer who was slapped by Nate."Punishment for being rude to me," Nate snapped."Who do you think you are?!" he snapped in such a loud voice that everyone there clamped their mouths shut in disbelief that he was so bold with Nate.Although they never liked Nate and never respected him, this was the first time anyone dared to be insolent to Nate. All this time they had only kept quiet be
