Ramon really felt humiliated because of his nephew. People were talking about him in big voices, making him so embarrassed that he couldn't get the recognition given to his nephew. The Astor family's financial situation was also unstable, which made him very uncomfortable.When he saw the woman again in front of him, his body immediately stopped the figure before him, hoping that the woman would at least greet him first and want to apologize for everything he had done so far. After all, letting go of the big family name just like that is the same as a fool. Other people would even try to become members of the Astor family that had always existed.But that was not the kind of thing he got, but a loud statement from Clayton that he had been insulting. "You must be having trouble getting funds for the family?"Clayton spoke loudly. He deliberately did things like that to make the man in front of him angry. The Astor family's downfall was faster also because he interfered in matters like
And a few days later, as Jessica had suggested, they were on a double date at a park with a festival.Ahren was wearing comfortable clothes, seemingly relaxed compared to when she was working. She watched her surroundings with serious and attentive eyes. Likewise, Clayton was watching his wife."Watch out." Clayton held Ahren's shoulders firmly, ensuring she did not bump into anyone else. Meanwhile, his wife only smiled at her husband's response.She looked around, but it was quite difficult to find her friend. "She said she was here, but where is she?" Ahre looked around repeatedly but didn't see his friend, and his importance now frowned."Let's just say that if we wait by the Ferris wheel, he'll find us easily, Ahren," Clayton said his idea. He had also been paying attention to the surroundings. It was quite difficult to look for a familiar person in this crowd. It was the weekend, and many couples were spending time together to stroll around here.The couples seemed to be enjoying
The scenery around them was beautiful, they walked together, holding hands with their own problems. This kind of relaxed atmosphere was immensely enjoyed by Ahren because, in the past, she was swamped and didn't think about her relationship with Clayton. She never thought about something like this. She felt something like this would never happen in her life.Then, there was a crowd in front of them that caught both their attention, and Jessica turned their gaze in that direction, they both looked at each other, and with just a movement of the eyes, they moved together in that direction. "Wow look at that, they're doing amazing archery." Jessica exclaimed with great pleasure, watching people trying to shoot right at the center bullseye.That would give them a high score to get the prize they wanted. Their observations showed none of them had won the game's grand prize.Jessica pressed her lips together subconsciously. Albert was beside her. "Is this the big teddy bear?" Albert pointed
The past was spinning rapidly in the shadows. The history made him into a deep and restless sleep. Clayton opened his eyes hurriedly. His head became heavy and filled with sweat. Ahren was beside him, so he didn't want to make a scene. Clayton finally got off his bed and decided to calm himself on the room's veranda. He closed the door again so the cold air would not enter and make Ahren sick.There was already a bottle of wine ready for him to drink. He watched his surroundings while sipping the alcoholic beverage. He observed a giant moon than usual and then fewer stars, but it didn't attract his attention at all and even took away his thoughts of what he had dreamed of before"They seem to be doing a pretty good job." Clayton gave praise as he observed the workers at the bottom. They were very calmly doing the changeover.They were all people chosen by Otto who could protect their master and also people who could serve their master. Clayton did not doubt them to guard this house, a
Clayton walked into the company building that he had never stepped into before. His arrival here certainly attracted attention. The big news that he was the leader of the Savvy company was already widely known by others, but what attracted the most attention was because the man in front of them was the useless son-in-law of the Astor family, at least that's what he was called before. So the people who worked here knew him as a scum.The people there whispered they knew that Clayton did not have a good relationship with the leader of this company. The last time they heard that, the leader of this company was in conflict with Clayton.A female employee whispered to her friend. "What business does he have here? Will he apologize in the end?" The woman's foreheads furrowed as she spoke, her eyes still focused on following Clayton's movements as he stepped into this building.The woman shrugged her shoulders. She also did not let go of Clayton's gaze. "I don't know, but this will definitel
"You're completely crazy! You said that this was Ahren's company!" Ramon burst out laughing at what Clayton had said.He finally came out of his section of the table, only to speak more closely to Clayton, now pointing at the man in front of him who he thought was insolent. "Don't ever expect anything like that to happen! You'll never own this company even a little bit!" Ramon smirked as he said that. He knew because he was the one who owned this company that he would never give to Ahren, the nephew that he didn't like at all.Clayton looked at him coldly. Even now, he uses his index finger to touch his chin. "You're so confident that this company is yours. Did you forget about the foreign company's debt some time ago, and now it's due?" Clayton's words shocked the man in front of him as he was the only one who knew about the debt, and he was facing difficulties as he needed a lot of money to pay the debt.This already felt so strange to him. He knew that the man in front of him must
Ramon clearly did not accept what he had just gotten. Being rudely kicked out of the company he had just led was something he did not like. He squeezed his hand so hard that it hurt his palm, and it was not felt at all because it was covered by his emotions."That insolent, lowly man! My father shouldn't have picked him up to make him even more ignorant..." he still couldn't believe being thrown out of his own company, even though he had recently taken the helm of the company, but it was his family's property. Of course, he was the rightful heir. But that person instead said it was a matter of accounts receivable. He had clearly known the authenticity of the letter addressed by Clayton was genuine.Other Astor families also borrowed on a large scale without involving Ahrena because they mortgaged one of these companies' assets because they believed they could pay and make their company or their assets even bigger. But that was the beginning of their downfall as the steps to make their
Flori couldn't let only her hear that, so she turned up the volume of Bella's phone call so that the people with her could listen to what Bella was saying."Aunt Elle is spending a lot, she seems to be capitalizing on her current possessions." Bella spoke with passion when she said such things.Bella really hated Ahren's family. She just wanted the people who were used to being under her feet to continue being under her feet. Then, because she had been in a problematic situation lately, it was difficult for her to shop like usual.As Flori was there as well, she looked at the two people who were there. Her gaze was clear that she was talking about this. They all disliked what they had just heard."Then don't take your eyes off her, you have to follow her. We'll be there in a moment, Bella." Flori immediately gave orders to the woman. Bella looked confused after hearing her aunt's words."You mean I have to follow her secretly?" Bella was still trying to digest Floro's words, her foreh
