"I once met Jasmine Braun at a seminar. She was present as a guest speaker. The Braun family is indeed a bit secretive, especially a few years ago when Jasmine Braun's father was involved in a dispute with his older brother," explained Emma."Is it possible that she has a special relationship with Leon?" Claire asked.Emma shook her head. "I don't know, Miss. But seeing Braun's family background, it seems impossible for your ex-husband to have a relationship with her.""Yeah, you're right. But, why would she want to hold hands with Leon?""Who knows if Leon only works as her assistant or driver. We don't know what's going on," Emma said with a shrug.Jasmine looked down at her hand, which was still tightly gripped by Leon. They walked towards the parking lot. While at the elevator door, Jasmine cleared her throat."Ehem!"Leon turned to Jasmine and immediately let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, Jasmine, I didn't mean to act like I was your man," Leon said."It's okay, Leon. By the way, w
Jasmine went into her room and sat near her bed. She knelt down as she buried her face in her hands. She shed all her sadness there until her face was full of tears. She had avoided Max so much, but her parents still wanted her to stay with him.After a while, the sound of knocking on the door distracted Jasmine's gaze. She stared at the door and immediately determined not to open it because she was sure that the person behind it was her father."Go, Daddy, I'm not in the mood to talk to you!" Jasmine exclaimed."Miss, I'm a maid." A soft voice answered from behind the door.Jasmine wiped away her tears as she took a deep breath. Then she opened the door."Mr. Dimitri left this for you," said the maid while handing Jasmine a gift box."Thank you."Jasmine sat on the sofa and opened the gift box. The box contained a tiny teddy bear, a small bouquet of flowers, chocolates, and a letter. She opened the letter."My dear Jasmine, I'm sorry for not being a good father to you. As an apology,
Hera got up from her seat and ran to her yard when she saw her husband's car arriving. She smiled expectantly, awaiting news of her daughter."What did Jasmine say? Have you succeeded in persuading her?" asked Hera.Dimitri snorted. "I'm going to send the butler to meet Max's parents to break off the engagement officially. This is all Max's fault," he answered.Hera's expression turned disappointed. She didn't expect her daughter to be this stubborn. "Do you also agree if their engagement is canceled?""Of course. As a father, I want to see my daughter marry the best man. I hope she doesn't have a husband like her father." Dimitri immediately stepped away from Hera's presence.Hera was pensive at her husband's words. "I always forgive all your mistakes. Is it possible that you are already aware of all the mistakes you have made?" she muttered, staring at Dimitri's back, who had now vanished into the wall.***Max was at his parents' house to attend his parents' dinner invitation. Even
Edward sipped his coffee while enjoying the cool morning air. Today, he has no work to do. He planned to spend his days off going to restaurants or parties.He squinted when he saw the maid open the gate of his house and see Max enter. Edward eyed his cousin in wonder."Max, why didn't you bring the car?" Edward asked.Max snorted at his cousin's question. "What car? I don't have a car or money now," he replied.Edward was even more confused by Max's words. He approached his cousin and embraced him. "What do you mean?""My father has revoked all facilities for me. I don't have a car or my credit and debit cards," Max complained."Why did he do it?""This is all because my engagement with Jasmine has been officially annulled. Last night, the butler of the Jasmine family came to the house and delivered this decision officially," explained Max."Does your father know that you caused all this?"Max nodded. "Of course, that's why he punished me by revoking all facilities," he exclaimed ang
All eyes turned to the commotion. A dark silhouette enveloped Claire's eyes. She stared at Edward angrily. That man was really testing her patience."What happened?""Why is she so arrogant?""Is this how they treat guests?"Max and the waiter helped Edward get up. Edward stared at Claire intently, as did the woman who didn't seem afraid of him."Are you okay?" asked Max, holding his cousin's shoulder.Edward didn't answer Max's question, and immediately stepped closer to Claire. "How dare you push me!" he exclaimed."That's not even worth what you did to me!" Claire replied while pointing her index finger at Edward."I just wanted to help you, Claire. Look at your condition, you look really apprehensive.""I don't need your help!" Claire turned around and walked away from the restaurant."You act like a noble. Remember, you're just someone who comes from a poor family. I can even buy that pride of yours!"Hearing Edward's insulting words, Claire turned around and slapped Edward acros
Claire rushed to the hospital after returning from work with food in her hand. She wanted to give the food to her mother."Mom, has there been progress from Daddy?" she asked.Ariana shook her head. "There has been no significant development," she answered with a frantic expression."Mom, we've tried our best. I'm sure Daddy will be fine soon," Claire said, looking up at her father hopefully. Her gaze shifted to her mother. "I've brought your favorite food! Let's eat together!"Ariana's eyes looked teary as she looked at her daughter. Even when she was in the toughest condition, she still had a daughter who always faithfully accompanied her."By the way, I've been fired from the hotel," said Claire.Ariana quickly swallowed the food in her mouth. She was shocked to hear Claire's words. "How did you get fired? Isn't the work contract for 3 months?"Yeah, I made a mistake, and luckily they decided to fire me. It was a good decision.""Then what's your plan, Claire?""I want to open a ne
Leon and his mother were on their way home. After the car left the restaurant, Belinda was already looking at her son with a question in her mind."Leon, what do you think of Jasmine's parents?" Belinda asked.Without looking at his mother, Leon replied, "They are very good," he replied simply."Do you think they are suitable to be your in-laws?" Belinda teased.Leon sighed. "What are you talking about, Mom? Jasmine and I are just friends.""Leon, I didn't mean to force you. But a relationship comes from friendship first.""I reckon Jasmine will just be my friend.""Leon, why can you talk like that?" Belinda looked at Leon in surprise."If I wasn't the heir to the Jensen family, would Jasmine really want to be my sincere friend?" Leon's gaze met Belinda's. The hazel eyes looked sad. "One day, if I get married again, I hope to marry a woman who can accept me as I am. She must loved Leon, not an heir. I thought I had found my dream girl in Claire, but I was wrong," he continued."But I
Claire ran towards the room where her father was being treated. When she reached the door, she saw the nurse moving her father's body into the morgue. Claire's body immediately went limp, tears dripping down her cheeks.Emma, who had been there earlier than Claire, noticed her presence. She immediately approached Claire, who was frozen in the doorway."Mrs. Claire," said Emma in a hoarse voice. Her voice sounded like she was holding back tears. She embraced Claire and asked her to pull over to make way for the passing nurse carrying Claire's father's dead body."Daddy, you can't leave me like this!" cried Claire hysterically."Please, calm down," Emma coaxed."Emma, how could I possibly calm down? I fought for my father, but why has he now left me? He even promised to accompany me. He lied, Emma."Ariana, who was also crying, tried to calm herself down, then approached Claire to calm her daughter down. She gripped Claire's shoulders and shook her body."Claire, listen to me!" Ariana e
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
