None of them could help Maria escape from this situation. She was quickly in the police car and taken away for processing.Meanwhile, Morel, who looked calm there, also had his own business. Jefry immediately bowed to Morel. "Sir, please forgive the actions of my subordinates, who are slow in handling this matter.""You should work more seriously." He looked around him. "This place is filled with chaos."It was an insinuation for Jefry that made him open up. He didn't have time to reply to Morel, who had now left with Doris by car.Doris had been considering, and after the slow tapping of his fingers stopped, he finally spoke. "Master, are you alright.""Yes. Quickly take me to the next place." He gave the order with his eyes outward. This bustling street made her mind at ease.He was now wearing different clothes after the place where he relaxed for a while. A more formal look with a charming dark brown color.It was the wedding party of one of her friends when she did a lot of part-
Hearing Morel say that Aden had a good job, Nora and Lucy actually chuckled out loud in a dismissive manner."Hey, hey, what did you say? Good job?" asked Nora while pointing at Morel with a cynical look, her facial expression reflecting obvious displeasure.Lucy replied, "Really? Is the delivery boy's job good now? Come on, no kidding." With a faint smile, Lucy continued, "Aden's salary is only up to 1000 dollars a month, and he can only afford to rent an old church like this for a wedding. If it were me, I'd want a wealthy man who could cover all the wedding costs in a big, fancy building." Her tone exuded confidence in her ambitions and desires.Lucy's words made the atmosphere even more tense. Aden and Luna felt offended by such a blunt and condescending comment.Morel remained calm even as they laughed at Aden. He nodded wisely, "Every job has its value and honor. Aden does his job well, and he's a good person." His facial expression showed firmness and wisdom, while his voice so
Lucy was shocked to read the paper inside the envelope given by Morel for Aden and Luna's wedding gift. Inside was a first-class ticket to the most beautiful island, Marvis Island, a VIP room in a five-star hotel, and a check for one million dollars. "What! You gave this extravagant gift as their wedding present?" Lucy asked with a shocked face as if she didn't expect it.Nora, who heard the word 'luxury' from Lucy's mouth and saw her shocked face, became very curious about what was in the letter. Nora thought that there was no way Aden's friend could give such a luxurious gift. Without thinking, she took the letter from Lucy's hand and read it herself. Her eyes widened when she saw the contents."This is impossible," Nora said in a tone of disbelief as she double-checked the flight tickets, the VIP room reservation, and the million-dollar check. "How can you give such a luxurious gift? A first-class flight ticket, a VIP hotel, and a check for one million dollars?" Nora's voice sounde
Nora was distraught to hear Morel call her a thief. "How dare you accuse me of that?" Nora said in an angry tone, her eyes radiating deep resentment. She felt like she was being insulted, feeling the need to defend herself firmly and straightforwardly and pointing out that the accusation was not only untrue but also profoundly hurtful to her feelings.Lucy quickly followed up with, "How dare you say that we stole it. We're Nora's family. We're just trying to help dispose of this fake gift you want to give," she said in a firm tone, supporting Nora and emphasizing that they were only acting to protect their family's interests.But in truth, they were only pretending to protect the family's interests. In their hearts, they actually just wanted to take the gift given by Morel. However, in order to keep up appearances and not cause further conflict, they chose to show a supportive and protective attitude towards each other in front of Morel.Morel looked at them with a mixed expression of
Nora and Lucy, who heard the conversation, looked very surprised. Their faces looked sour, and they immediately expressed their doubts in a cynical tone."This can't be happening! How could Aden, who is just a delivery man, get a job at MindCo, a big and well-known company?" said Lucy in a mocking tone. "There must be a mistake or a joke here."Nora nodded in agreement, her face full of scepticism. "That's right, Lucy. MindCo is not just any company. They must be looking for highly educated and experienced people. Aden is unlikely to meet their criteria."Lucy added sarcastically, "Maybe this is just a ploy by Morel to make himself look good to all of us. You know, like those plane tickets and checks. It all feels too good for them."Nora gave Morel a suspicious look. "That's right, Lucy. After all, we know who Aden really is. He doesn't have enough background or experience to work for such a big company."Nora continued to insist that Lucy was more suited to be a manager at MindCo. "
Aden carefully watched Lucy and Nora's annoying facial expressions. They seemed preoccupied with their whispers, occasionally throwing glances in his direction with sly-looking smiles. An uneasy sensation began to creep over him, making him wonder what they were up to or what they were talking about secretly.Shortly after contentedly talking to themselves and plotting their devious move, Nora and Lucy walked away, leaving Aden, Luna, and Morel with a sense of relief. Aden looked at the departing Nora and Lucy with a mixed expression of relief and slight annoyance, wondering how their behaviour could have been so annoying. "I can't believe they could really be like that," Aden said quietly to Luna, shaking his head in confusion."We need to stay calm and focused. They can't bother us all the time." while Luna tried to calm things down. And smiled faintly at Morel. Morel himself smiled softly, feeling relieved that at least today's troubles had opened up some understanding between the
Marisa sat alone in a quiet corner of the café, enjoying her drink. Occasionally, she stirred the warm liquid in her cup. Her gaze focused out the window. Without realising it, a slight murmur escaped her lips. "Looks like the Incra family is in trouble," she said softly, just loud enough for herself to hear. "Did Morel do it? How could he do it? Can he really help me?"Marisa's mind spun, trying to piece together the logic behind the news she had just heard. To Marisa, the Incra family was one of the most influential and powerful families she had ever known. They had tremendous power, influence, and wealth. The idea that someone like Morel, who she had always thought could not match the Incra family's power, could cause trouble for them sounded utterly absurd.As she continued to ponder, Marisa tried to recall everything she knew about Morel. "How could he, who looks so ordinary and unassuming, fight such a big family?" Those questions kept swirling in her head, making her even more
"Please clean this one," said a guest who came to the restaurant and pointed to a table that had just been empty and had not been cleaned.Morel, who was arranging the tableware at another table, immediately approached the table. "Okay, just a moment." He answered quickly and cleaned the table immediately.Morel wiped the table clean and then carried the dirty dishes on the tray he had brought. This was Morel's second job today after he had been a cashier at a small shop. Morel was eager to increase the number of part-time jobs he could do because he wanted to raise 8000 dollars as soon as possible.With the 8000 dollars he had accumulated from his work, he wanted to buy a ring with a sapphire stone.A few weeks ago, Morel saw the ring in a shop with Anna, a woman Morel had been in love with for three months. Anna was a beautiful, petite woman with a small face and a short haircut. Anna looked perfect to Morel.At that time, Anna said that she wanted the ring. Meanwhile, Morel felt th
