Arriving at her house, Claire was greeted by her mother, who had been waiting for her since earlier. Ariana wrapped her arms around Claire as her daughter walked into the house."Honey, I'm sure everything will be fine. I know you must bring good news," said Ariana, thinking positively.Claire sighed. Unfortunately, I don't have good news. I'm really confused, the CEO of that company doesn't want to meet me." She let go of her mother's embrace and walked towards the couch. Claire sat up limply. Since this morning, she has not even eaten a single bite of food. She seemed to have lost her appetite."Claire, dear, hasn't Edward talked to him about reconsidering that decision?" Ariana asked.Claire sighed softly. "Forget it, Mom. I'm not sure Edward actually did it. I can't even call him."Ariana sat down limply. What happens to her daughter's career will greatly affect her life. She would lose all this luxurious life if Claire went bankrupt.Even though the Weber family came from a low-m
Claire shuffled her feet aimlessly with a blank stare. The bad events that happened to her these past few days made her sad. She sat on a bench, leaning back."Claire, I know you can make it through!" Claire encouraged herself. She was still a little optimistic, even though the future of her company was hanging in the balance.In the middle of her reverie, Claire was reminded of her ex-husband. "After I divorced Leon, I had a lot of problems. Is it possible that this is karma?" she muttered. "No, this is not karma! What I have done is right, there is no point in continuing to be with that loser man." Seconds later, she dismissed her own assumptions.Accidentally, Claire saw Edward who was across the street. The man was jogging."Edward!" she exclaimed. Edward seemed oblivious to Claire's presence. "Edward! I have to talk to him!" Without thinking, Claire immediately ran after Edward."Wait!" Hearing a woman's scream behind him, Edward stopped. He turned his neck so his eyes could see
The Jensen family was having dinner together. The atmosphere that night was very special. Leon sat near his mother. Meanwhile, his father was across from him. Leon's parents studied their son's face and noticed that he looked unhappy."Leon, don't you like the food?" Belinda asked when she saw Leon's food, which still had a lot left on the plate. Leon actually refused to eat, but his mother forced him."It's very delicious, it's just that I'm already full," said Leon."How can you be full, you only eat no more than five spoons," said Belinda."Why did Mom even count how many spoons I ate?" Leon smiled. "I'm an adult, Mom. You don't have to worry too much about me like this. I have even struggled for years, and I can survive."Belinda sighed. "Okay, I'm not worried about you. But since earlier you looked gloomy.""Relax, Mom. I'm fine," Leon assured his mother."I plan to throw a special party only for you in the near future to announce that you are the heir to the Jensen family," said
Leon grinned from behind the mask. "Fate always brings me to that man, but this time I will embarrass him."Bella was very interested in seeing the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which was her dream car. "If that man needed a bride, I would marry him!" she muttered.Even though she came from a wealthy family, the Harrison family's wealth was still not comparable to that of the Jensen family. If Bella could become part of the Jensen family, all her friends would envy her.Bella walked towards the car. She wanted to see it up close."Bella, what are you doing?" Edward cried."I just want to see this car," Bella replied.William and Belinda had entered the restaurant, but Leon was still there. He watched them, see what they would do. Bella touched the car, and the bodyguard immediately approached her."What are you doing? How dare you touch Young Master's car!" The bodyguard shouted."Can I talk to your 'Young Master'? Who knows, I could be friends with him," asked Bella."Young Master can't
One week later.Wilhelm looked impatient to meet with the CEO of Jens Creative Enterprise. That company sent them an invitation to come to the office to discuss cooperation. Wilhelm would go there with Edward.Edward agreed to go with his father, with the main goal of wanting to meet the heir of the Jensen family. He wanted to see the face of the man who dared to humiliate him. "Edward, why do you look so unexcited?" Come on, it's a big day!" said Wilhelm as he patted the shoulder of his son who was sitting on the sofa."Yeah, I know," Edward replied. "I don't care about any cooperation, what I want is to see that man's face and repay him for what he did!" Edward resolved, and of course he just muttered. If Wilhelm had known that his son had a grudge against the CEO of the Jensen family, he would have preferred to scold Edward.Cooperation with the Jensen family company was more important than anything, especially when compared to Edward's emotions."Edward, let's go now!" asked Willi
"Why do you look so surprised, loser? It's very easy for my family to get cooperation with this company," said Edward."So you are the son of Wilhelm Lackner?" asked Leon spontaneously."Yes … but wait!" Edward frowned at Leon. "How do you know my father's name?""Like you said, the Lackner family is a respected family in the city, of course everyone knows them. But I just found out that you are his son," explained Leon. Luckily, Leon was able to immediately find the right reason so that Edward would not suspect him.Edward chuckled. "Actually, I really feel sorry for you. All your life you have only worked as a waiter, now as an office boy, and even the woman you love chose to leave you," he teased.Leon remembered the incident a week ago. Where Bella chased after him and ignored Edward."Then how is your relationship with Bella?" asked Leon with a grin."Our relationship is fine," Edward said, shrugging his shoulders. It could be seen from his expression that he seemed to be hiding
"An office boy?" Wilhelm asked.Edward nodded. "Yeah, he's just an office boy. I know him from my former business partner. He is her ex-husband. He only worked as a waiter at a restaurant before, and now he works as an office boy at that company. But I don't think there's any way he can influence the CEO's decision. There must be other factors," explained Edward."Are you sure he's really an office boy?""Yes, Daddy. He's just a loser. Even his wife asked for a divorce from him, there's no way he would suddenly become someone with influence in that big corporation."Wilhelm sighed. "Okay, I believe you. After this, we have to be more careful. I don't want something like this to happen again."Yes, Daddy."Leon returned to his house. Several maids greeted him and bowed to him in salute."Welcome home, Young Master," said the maids. They brought Leon's bag and his jacket."Sir, there is an invitation for you." One of the maids approached Leon and gave him the invitation.Leon looked at
Jessica's twenty-year birthday party was held. The Alfson family invited their entire family, relatives, and people from respected families. William Lackner was also there. But he was present without his son.Jessica wanted a party with a masked theme, so at the entrance, the guests were asked to wear the masks that had been provided."Mr. Leon Jensen, here's a mask for you," said the guard, giving Leon a mask."Thank You." Leon put on the mask and entered the party hall. Both of his parents were present, but Leon chose not to be with them.Leon stepped his feet while enjoying the party atmosphere. As Leon walked past the group of girls, his presence immediately became the center of attention for the girls.His tall, athletic body, golden brown hair, and charming aura instantly captivated the girls' hearts. What's more, the guest at this banquet must be a man from a wealthy family."Look, who is that guy?""Even though part of his face is covered by a mask, I'm sure he's very handsome
Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an
Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w
“Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D
The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them. The number could be contacted, but Elena's parents did not receive the call.***Dean was sitti
“Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h
"So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet. "Even if Dean doesn't go along with us, we will still move there," he said in a tone that didn't want to be rejected."Okay, I'll go with you." Juliet agreed to her husband's decision.Rexa took his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange his move to the United States. Because Dean didn't move there, Rexa handed over all responsibility to his son. What's more, Dean was the heir of the Romano family. Rexa and Juliet will move to the United States next week.***Today Leon was allowed to go home. But up to this moment, Elena still hasn't woken up from her coma. Leon came to Elena's room to see his wife. The woman was lying with her face looking beautiful."It's been almost 2 weeks since Mrs. Elena has been in a coma, young master," said Michael, who was standing next to Leon.Le
“Why do you want to move there?” Finley responded.“I want to spend the rest of my life there. I don't feel happy being here. I know that we have taken revenge on the Jensen family, but that doesn't make my life happy.” There was sadness in Rexa's eyes, and Finley could feel it.Finley gripped his brother's shoulders and stared at him fixedly. "Rexa, what happened? What makes you feel unhappy?”“There are many things, including my marriage. I don't feel happy with Juliet. I don't want to hurt her any more; that's why I will move to America without her," said Finley.“But if you move there without inviting her, she will definitely be very sad. You don't want to make her even sadder, do you?"Rexa shook her head."Therefore, if you want to move there, then you have to invite her. Does Dean know about all this?"“Dean doesn't know about this yet. This is a very sudden decision of mine, but I feel it's the right decision.”Finley released his grip on Rexa's shoulder. He took a deep breath
“Dr. Edwin, look, he's awake," said a nurse in a low voice when she saw Leon open his eyes.Dr. Edwin immediately turned around to see Leon. He smiled in relief, seeing the man finally come to his senses.“Mr. Leon, thank goodness you're awake," said Dr. Edwin.Leon glanced around, and he tried to sit. Dr. Edwin swiftly helped him sit down.“Where is Michael? Where is the butler?” Leon asked with a panicked expression."Would you like to meet them, sir?"Leon nodded. "Yes, I want to meet them."Dr. Edwin turned to a nurse who was there. “Please tell Michael to come here!” he ordered."Yes, Doctor."The arrival of a nurse stopped Michael and Felix, who were chatting. Their gazes immediately fell on the nurse.“Mr. Leon is awake. He asked you to come to see him," said the nurse.Michael nodded. He immediately entered the room and left Felix alone in the waiting chair."Young master, I'm so happy to see that you are awake," said Michael with a smile.With his condition still weak, Leon w
All the employees were shocked to see Finley's arrogant attitude. The restaurant was a restaurant that had been open for less than a year, so it was still a new restaurant, so they didn't know that the Romano family was so sensitive towards the Jensen family."Sir, please forgive me," said the restaurant manager while trying to free Finley's grip.Finley glared at the man, and his grip even tightened. Dean grabbed Finley's hand and tried to persuade him.“Uncle, please stop this! I'm sure he doesn't know about this," implored Dean."Come on, Uncle, don't make a scene in this restaurant. This is an issue that does not need to be exaggerated.”Finley took a deep breath as he released his grip on the restaurant manager's collar.The restaurant manager immediately moved away from Finley. He looked at his master with a fearful gaze.“I'm sorry, sir. I don't know at all if your family doesn't like hearing that family name," said the restaurant manager as he cupped his hands.Of course, they
