Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 69
"Sorry, I came a little late, sir." Smith glanced through the windshield and monitored the position behind it.He had tried to come as quickly as possible, but his schedule today was fairly tight as he was attending a meeting that required him to represent Richard since Richard still hadn't revealed who he was to the public.He came as quickly as possible, but it took a long time. However, from those Smith had asked to stand guard around Richard, he knew who Richard was dealing with.His people had sent him a picture of Max getting into an altercation with Richard. Smith recognized who it was and contacted the person who could take responsibility for his actions. He had seen Max come into David's office a few times, calling David's dad. Smith recognized his spoiled personality, but he didn't care as long as it had nothing to do with the company because, besides Max, Smith knew that David still had other children who could be relied on and lead well in the future if David stepped down

"Use this quickly. I'll be back to get it again later." The policeman gave Max the office phone, and then he left.Max closed his eyes. He tried hard to remember the phone number of the person he wanted to call. He only had one chance, so he had to make the best of it.He then pressed the number buttons and brought the receiver to his ear. "Please pick up, sir." He heard the phone ring for a long time, but he didn't see anyone pick up until the call ended.Max clucked frantically. "What is he doing? Is it possible she's not picking up because it's a call from a phone number she doesn't recognize?" He was increasingly anxious, worried that his call would be completely ignored.He then called him back, shaking her head. "No... no, I can't be here. I don't want to go to jail. They can't do this to me." He clenched her hand into a fist while his other hand held the receiver tightly.As hia hopes dwindled and he became more and more desperate, the dial tone on the phone stopped. "Who is th

"Your father asked you to come to a party he's throwing, sir." Smith stood to Richard's right, who was currently on the racetrack.Richard cast his eyes over Olympus, the horse he often rode for sport. The horse itself was of Thoroughbred flavor. It was a horse that was very famous for its speed. Even though his eyes were on the horse currently being groomed after his ride, Richard listened carefully to what Smith was telling him. Smith looked back at the notice he had compiled on the note he always carried with him so as not to forget what he would do again. "The meeting will be held at Diamond Cas, you are requested to be present on time, sir.""For what agenda did he ask me to come to the Casino?" Richard took off his vest and gave it to one of the waiters handling him, apart from Smith, who was there.Richard didn't have anything on his agenda today, and he had specifically scheduled today as a day to spend on sports. He did not have much free time, but in a week, he was expected

"Do you play at this place often?" A man who played with him looked with an interested gaze at him.Richard put down his bag again. "This is the first time I came to play at this place." He answered honestly.The man pursed his lips tightly, still with his gaze fixed on Richard. "Is that so? But your game is great. You've been winning ever since." He was impressed by how beautifully Richard played.Richard pulled the corner of his lips in a smile. "I just did what everyone else did."He did the basic things of the game, followed the game's rules, and thought through his strategy well. Winning was not the goal, as he chose to play just to try it out. He wasn't interested in winning or losing, but when he did win, he was entertained.The man raised the corner of his chin and was silent for a while. "Is that so?" His eyebrows moved up somewhat confusedly, but he resumed his game.Meanwhile, the people who staffed the guards around the place observed what Richard was doing. They had alrea

The two people lying on the floor stared at Richard fiercely, their bodies still lying on the floor, moving with difficulty.One of them tried to get back up. "You'd better be cooperative, or we'll take more action than this." He threatened Richard.Richard ignored the man's words, instead, he turned his gaze and looked towards the corners of the place, looking for the locations of the CCTV.He thought he might as well inspect other things he needed to check there while dealing with them. So Richard stepped forward to open another door, but his hand was caught from behind.It was pulled forcefully and made him turn his head back to them. Richard found one of the guards holding his hand while the other just caught up with them.His eyes continued to watch with an unreadable gaze. Then, he moved sluggishly back to the person who had kept him there.Richard then pushed the man's hand away hard, making the man's hand move with him, and finally let go of his hand unintentionally."If you c

The two officers who put Richard in that situation looked at each other in panic. They had not expected that Richard would be the one to be influenced in that place. What they were trying to do was to secure him. Because sometime before, troublemakers tried to do tricks in that place but failed. Even so, the existence of such a person still makes them a security problem. Because if something happens and there is a report that first gets sanctioned, it is their side. So, the head of security at the place was strictly warned about the chaos that might occur, especially when there would be a big party.Brian, the manager of the place, sighed heavily and bowed his head again. "I am truly sorry, sir. It was also my negligence not to know what was going on." He bowed deeply and sounded guilty. "I will ensure they both take responsibility for what they did, sir." She had been so busy with things to welcome and enliven the party tonight that she had forgotten to warn them about the possibili

Richard, who left the restroom corridor, continued to avoid the crowd. He had a certain limit to which he could endure the interaction with other people in crowded places, and right now, he had reached his limit. So he moved away from them and towards where they were least likely to be, the veranda.Little did he know that a woman had been watching his movements and was following him to the veranda. Richard took a deep breath, enjoying the scenery before his eyes. Although the day had turned into night, the place could still clearly show its charm."Isn't this place beautiful?" The woman walked up to Richard with a glass of wine.She brought herself closer to the veranda divider and leaned one of her arms on it. Her eyes momentarily looked at the whole place with an admiring gaze while Richard just silently watched her from her place.Richard didn't know who she was and didn't answer her question until she turned to him and smiled. "Do you like being in this place compared to being th

"Shouldn't I know who's involved in this so I can cooperate properly if I want to join you guys?" He was trying his best to find out more about it.Even for Richard, who was not too interested in gambling in casinos. He also had a handful of knowledge about a certain group that worked together to reap profits in the casino, where they played with the underhanded tricks they did.All the tricks they have are cunning tricks that not all of them can be proven because their skill in manipulating results and hiding evidence of their cheating is fairly top tier. That reason also made the security officers who faced Richard wary of him.As he had heard from Brian, there had been a lot of cheating in that place lately, and they were trying to catch him immediately. Richard was sure maybe what Brian was looking for was the group that Lidya was talking about.Lidya's gaze looked more alert. "Even if you join, you still won't get full information about who is involved in this group." The corners

One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

"Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

"Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

"What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

"No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
