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.

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'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!"

    The woman nodded slowly. She looked at Leon questioningly. "How did you know my name?" she asked.Leon smiled bitterly. "Of course I know, you are my classmate," he replied. He suddenly remembered what Anastasia had last said to him. He wasn't allowed to talk to Anastasia, but tonight Leon saved her life instead. The younger Anastasia would never have expected that."My classmate?" Anastasia was very surprised. Her eyes squinted up and down Leon from head to toe, then she shook her head. "I've never had a classmate as handsome as you."Leon laughed bitterly. "Last time, you told me never to talk to you. So it looks like I have to get out of here soon." He turned around, and when he was about to take a step, Anastasia stopped him."Wait!" exclaimed Anastasia with a surprised expression. Even she seemed to reject a name that appeared in her mind.Leon smirked. He just stopped and didn't look at Anastasia.Anastasia approached Leon and stood before him.

Her breathing sounded erratic due to the bad events she had just seen in her dream. She has a nightmare about three mysterious men chasing her."Thank God it was only a dream," said Anastasia, rubbing her face against her hair.Last night, she immediately ran to a hotel not far from her apartment. Luckily, the three men didn't catch up to her. She didn't feel safe even though she was already in the hotel. Fear still enveloped her."Who are the three men exactly? Could it be that someone told them to look for me?" muttered Anastasia.Anastasia took a deep breath and got off her bed. She opened the curtains of her bedroom window and let the sunlight in."What should I do now?" muttered Anastasia while staring out the window with blank eyes.Her relationship with her uncle and aunt had not been good for the past few years.

They're looking for me. I don't know who they are, but what is clear is that I'm sure they have a bad plan," Anastasia explained.Leon frowned. "Are you sure they have bad intentions for you?""Yeah, even I stayed at the hotel last night. Please protect me, Leon, I have no one here." Anastasia begged."How about we go to your apartment now?

He gave one mask to Anastasia and one to himself."Wear this, it will be better if they don't see our faces."With tears in her eyes, Anastasia said to Leon, "I'm so glad you're still the same as before.

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.

    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

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?"

    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

    “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.

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.

    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
