His return to his home naturally attracted attention from the people around him, as well as keeping the cousins in the dark about Clayton's return. And that was not to their liking at all. Now, they were in this main house, looking at Clayton in front of them."How can you just come back after making such a mess. Uncle Sawyer must be suffering from pain to keep taking care of that." a man spoke with a cynical look in his eyes. He was named Evan and gave Clayton a displeased look.Clayton stood calmly in front of him. He was not at all intimidated by the sentences about him said by his cousin. "Are you hoping that I won't come back and you're the one who gave this family?" Clayton asked while looking at the man in front of him. It was obvious that he was annoyed by the statement made by Clayton.Clayton knew very well about this man to become the heir to this family. He knew about the reports of how often he met with his father and looked up to his father. Hoping that he would really b
Clayton had just heard the explanation from Otto, they had done some things that had to be done, and currently, he was walking to look for his wife's whereabouts. According to the guards and servants, Ahren was in the garden as she often did. That's why he walked here to see Ahren.Only he noticed something different, Ahren seemed to be talking to a man. As Clayton took a more serious look, he clearly knew about the man, the man who had been talking to her just a while ago.Clayton immediately approached them, and he saw that his cousin's expression looked very happy. "Then how come you're here?" Evan asked Ahren, his eyes bright with excitement.Clayton immediately got there and embraced Ahren gently. He had surprised the man in front of him. "Of course, she's here because she's my wife." Clayton immediately explained about it while looking at his cousin, who looked at him with surprise. As for Ahren, who was now looking at him, she didn't expect Clayton to be behind her like this w
The house owned by the Arnould family was not just one. Although each of the houses shown appeared to be the main house of the Arnould family, they were very different and were in different places. The busy work was going on in another house, the false house owned by the Arnould family, which they would use for the party venue.Now, the two people were walking around watching the people who were busy decorating this place for the party. Clayton deliberately took Ahren because the woman looked bored, just continuing to be in the big house. She seemed to want something else to do.Similarly, when Elle saw that her son and daughter-in-law were about to leave, she stood up and went to them, asking them to come with them. But after they got here, instead of following the two people, she was busy looking at everything else. She enjoyed the scenery here, which made her feel at ease, and admired the beauty of the assets owned by the Arnould family."How many guests will be invited?" Ahren ask
Elle had never felt like this. She was mesmerized by the outdoor dining area. Usually, people would make it look like a normal picnic, but this was extraordinary because what was in front of her looked like an exclusive dining area.There was a large table spread out near a lake that looked like glass, when the sunlight hit the lake, it looked like a sparkling diamond. There were even some wildflowers blooming there, which added to the beauty. On the table, there was already a luxurious meal arranged neatly. Of course, there were people dressed in white who were the chefs who would serve them, and there were also waiters who were ready to provide the best service.Elle became so excited. She had witnessed this kind of dining scene when she watched, like a drama about the kingdom that made her even more fascinated. "This is so marvellous. You called them all to serve us?" Elle looked at her son-in-law as he was trying to sit on a chair pulled by a servant with a good attitude.Clayton
A few months had passed, and their lives seemed calm even though outside was filled with so much upheaval. Clayton always tried not to involve Ahren or his mother-in-law in these matters. He prevented those dangerous people from appearing in front of them, which hurt both of them."What about the situation there?" He asked while looking at the front using the binoculars he was holding. He was observing the situation from the large tree he was climbing.Clayton was still on his mission, he was going to complete this mission, and the people who wanted to harm him were conspiring together, so he couldn't just stand by. "They all walked into our trap, Master." Otto, who was there, gave an explanation to his master. They had set up a trap to lure all the perpetrators to the same place so they could win the battle.Clayton saw a drone at the top of his head, in this dense forest, a drone could be of great help to them, and he knew it was one of theirs, so he quickly dismounted and headed to
A voice seemed to be heard in Clayton's ears, so he stopped the movement of his hand that had raised the tea glass, which was noticed by Ahren slightly frowning. Ahren then asked, "What is it, Clayton?" She asked softly.She was worried about her husband. They had not been together for over a month because he had an important assignment, and they could not freely contact each other. Of course, because he was pretending to be dead. It made her very uneasy.Clayton put his teacup on the table. He didn't drink and looked at Ahren gently. "No, it was just like hearing something."Ahren repeatedly looked to her right and left, trying to figure it out, and she became more certain. "I didn't hear anything before, Clayton anyway there's no one here but the two of us."She worried about Clayton, fearing he was in pain, which could put him in a dangerous situation.Clayton shrugged his shoulders gently. "Yeah maybe it's just my feelings. "Now you'd better drink your tea, Ahren. That tea getting
For the first time, she had just met this man who worried her. She was pretty nervous, even though she was with Clayton. She was still afraid of making a mistake before Sawyer, who drank tea quietly.The people on the outside seemed to be doing their thing. The servants did their job well because they didn't want to disappoint their master. Sawyer looked out the window even though he couldn't see what the servants were doing outside."Tomorrow, there will be a party to say who is the next heir of the child's family. What do you think, Clayton?" he didn't immediately look at his son, and Clayton heard his father ask.He had been watching Sawyer, and he was also worried about Ahren, who looked very uneasy being here. "I'm looking forward to it, Dad. Nothing can get in the way anymore because I've finished them."His father knew about it too, he had helped the people who were trying to bring down their family for quite some time, and of course he thought that they should be cleared out.
The music could be heard faintly. The people at the bottom had already started their party, while the people here, as the organizers, were still busy with their preparations.Ahren's hair had been styled very nicely. They had arranged it in such a way as to present Ahren as the most beautiful woman at the party. "Excellent." Ahren complimented the servants Clayton had hired to dress her. Their skills were outstanding. Making her look even more beautiful in comparison.The maid who was fixing her hair smiled at Ahren's words. "It's very kind of you to compliment us." She finished the last touch by putting flower petals in there that made Ahren look like a flower.She looked perfect.As she watched Ahren looking so perfect, the other maids also watched Ahren. So did Ahren, who was looking at her reflection in the mirror. She liked the way she looked. "Don't look down on yourself, I really like your work." Finally, she slowly stood up with the help of the maids, her long dress arranged b
