Jasmine drove her car without thinking that she would meet someone unexpected on the street. The only thing that was on her mind was Leon's condition. She was so worried about him.Jasmine saw a car speeding up behind her. The car seemed to keep following her. She didn't harbor any suspicions.Suddenly, the car that was behind her sped up and blocked her way. Jasmine was very surprised. She was afraid that the person was a robber."Oh, My God, what do they want to do?" Jasmine muttered fearfully.Max got out of the car and rushed to Jasmine's car. "Jasmine, I knew it was you!""Max!" Jasmine screamed in fright. She really didn't want to meet her ex-fiancé.Max opened Jasmine's car door and pulled Jasmine's hand to get out of there. He held Jasmine's hand tightly, while looking at her, saying, "Jasmine, please forgive me. Give me one more chance. I promise, I won't do it again," said Max.Edward got out of the car and walked over to them. Jasmine looked at Edward, and she was surprised
"Has Max ever brought another woman to this house?" Jasmine asked.The maid shook her head. "No, Miss. You are the only woman brought here by Mr. Max.""Please be honest!" Jasmine exclaimed. She suspected that the maid at Max's house only wanted to cover up Max's character."Miss, I have told the truth. Mister Max only brought you," said the maid, looking at Jasmine.Seeing the look in the maid's eyes, Jasmine finally believed her words. "Okay, you can leave."The maid bowed and left Jasmine's room.Jasmine took a deep breath. She tried to enjoy her current situation while hoping Leon would come to save her. Her gaze shifted toward the balcony door. She got up from her seat and walked over to the balcony door. It seemed that seeing the stars in the sky would make her feel better.Jasmine had come to the edge of the balcony. Her hand touched the railing of the balcony, and her eyes scanned the surroundings. Jasmine's eyes immediately narrowed when she saw a man lying near the swimming
Max pulled Jasmine's hand so that her position became very close to him. The distance between their faces was only about 10 cm. Max's dark eyes glared at Jasmine."Jasmine, I've tried every way to get you back to me. But you never appreciated it one bit!" Max exclaimed.Jasmine averted her eyes from Max. With tears in her eyes, she whimpered in pain because the man gripped her hand even tighter."I won't let any man have you. You are only mine, and will only be mine!" Max exclaimed."Please let me go, Max!" Jasmine asked in a low voice."No way, Jasmine! You are only mine!"Max released his hand from Jasmine's. He left, closed Jasmine's bedroom door, and locked it. Jasmine ran toward the door and knocked on her bedroom door, hoping it would open."Max, please let me go! I want to get out of here!" she exclaimed.Max went downstairs and asked all the maids to come together. He would tell them important information."There are new rules in this house. You must lock Jasmine's bedroom doo
At dinner time, a maid came into Jasmine's room. "Good night, Miss Jasmine," said the maid, greeting Jasmine, but she only received a glance from the lady.She put down a tray containing Jasmine's food and a bouquet of tulips. She took Jasmine's lunch tray and saw that there was still a lot of food left. It seemed that Jasmine had only eaten a small portion of the food."Miss, Mr. Max sent a bouquet of flowers for you. He hopes you like it," said the maid."Tell him that I don't like it at all," Jasmine replied.The maid just smiled at Jasmine's answer. Of course, she would not dare convey this to Max."All right, Miss." The maid walked out of Jasmine's room.Jasmine took a deep breath. She couldn't stand being stuck in the room without anyone wanting to help her. In that sad moment, Jasmine thought of Leon."Does Leon not want to take me away from here?" muttered Jasmine.Jasmine got up from her bed and walked over to the table. She picked up a bouquet of tulips that were on the tabl
"Young Master, it's safe!" said a bodyguard watching the area around Max's house. They tried to infiltrate by climbing the fence on the side. One by one, the bodyguards climbed over the fence, and Leon was the last. "Let's go!" Leon asked the bodyguard to sneak into the house. There were guards at the post. They were not aware of the intruder's presence. Jasmine covered the bolster and pillow so that it was as if she were still sleeping in her bed. She opened the door and looked around. There's no one there. "I think it's safe. You can do it, Jasmine! I trust you! Leon is waiting for you." She locked her bedroom door again so that no one would suspect that she had left it. Jasmine walked at a brisk pace down the corridor. She descended the stairs quickly. Arriving downstairs, she saw two maids walking towards her. She quickly hid under the stairs. "Mr. Max loves Miss Jasmine very much, if that woman runs away, we will definitely be fired." "You are right. It seems that Mr. Max wo
All the maids in Max's house panicked. No one dared look Max in the face as he crossed their path. The man's sharp eyes seemed to demand responsibility for Jasmine's escape from her room."I've never seen Mr. Max be this angry.""How did she escape? While we've locked her room.""I'm sure it must be the intruder who took Miss Jasmine away."Amidst the restlessness of the maids, there was one maid who looked so calm. She didn't panic when she found out that Jasmine wasn't in her room. She was the maid who met Leon the day before Jasmine ran away."Thankfully, he must have managed to get Miss Jasmine away from here," the maid muttered. She saw the suffering in Jasmine's eyes, and knowing that she was free from Max made her very happy.Max went to the CCTV room to see the footage of Jasmine's escape. Max was shocked when he saw the CCTV in the corridor, where Jasmine was seen leaving her room without anyone's help. The girl was also seen locking her own bedroom door."Where did she get t
"I couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a mask, and I only saw it from the CCTV footage," explained Max. He sighed as he ruffled his hair."I think he is Jasmine's groom-to-be," Edward said without looking at Max. He was busy finishing his work."I have to find out about that man!" Max's determination."How did you find out about him? You only saw him from the CCTV footage, you have no idea how he looks like.""I will find him no matter what!" Edward's pessimistic words didn't break Max's determination to find out who the man who took Jasmine ran away from his house."If I were you, I would prefer to find another woman. I've said it many times, and maybe you're tired of hearing it too, but you're always desperate for her love. You always act like you're the ugliest guy in the world, and no one wants to be with you. Remember, Max, you are part of the Lackner family. Everyone in this city knows how honorable the Lackner family is!" This time Edward glared at Max, wishing his co
"Sir, you could enter the VIP room." The supervisor's voice averted Leon's gaze."Okay, I'll be right in there." Before entering the VIP room, he was curious about the two men who were with Claire. He tried to ask the supervisor about them."Do you know who the two men sitting over there are?" Leon asked."They are David Stern and Noah Hensen, sir.""Okay, thank you."Leon had heard of the two names, but he had never known how they looked before. He rushed to the VIP room he had reserved.Claire listened to the two men in front of her who were talking about business. She remembered that at the Jensen family's party, David and Noah looked interested in trying to establish a working relationship with her company.Claire knew the state of her company was now on the edge. But if she had the opportunity to work with a bigger company like the two men's, then her company could definitely be saved. There was nothing wrong with trying to offer cooperation directly with their company. "Why is
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
