Edward spoke after being silent for a few seconds. "Sorry, I couldn't. I have things to do tomorrow."

Dean chuckled. "What? On Sunday?"

“Come on, better enjoy your weekend," he added.

Edward, who had just started collaborating with Dean, felt reluctant to refuse it. "Okay, I'll go with you."

Leon had told Elena that he couldn't go home tonight because of work. He looked out his bedroom window and saw the cloudy weather. Leon's thoughts immediately turned to Elena. He was worried about his wife. What's more, Elena hasn't replied to the message Leon sent her.

"It looks like I have to go home for a while to check on Elena's condition," muttered Leon, who immediately left his room.

Leon pressed the elevator button, and not long after, the elevator doors opened. Claire was in the elevator alone. They looked at each other, then Claire looked away from her ex-husband.

An awkward atmosphere enveloped them. There were only silent glances between the two of them.

Seeing Claire, Leon immedia

    “Leon, did you hear me?” Elena exclaimed because Leon still didn't make a voice and was silent as if he were daydreaming."No, just forget it. When I go back to work, never leave the house again. Do you understand?" Leon ordered while glancing at Elena.Elena nodded slowly. "Okay, I understand. Sorry for leaving home without your permission."When he got home, Leon told Elena to sit down, and he covered her to keep her warm."Have you eaten?" Leon asked.Elena shook her head. "Not yet," she answered briefly.Without saying another word, Leon walked towards the kitchen. The man cut the vegetables and started preparing the pot. Leon's attitude today towards Elena was as cold as the weather outside, but he apparently really cared about his wife. Leon cooked soup for Elena.During cooking, there was not a single conversation between them. The sound of Leon's footsteps from the kitchen towards the bed filled their ears.Leon shifted the chair with his feet because his hands were full of a

    "Okay, I'll order you another drink," said the woman as she stroked Edward's cheek, then left the room.Dean was starting to get drunk, so the woman he was with saw this as an opportunity for him to dig up information. The person Leon suspected was Dean; in fact, he didn't suspect Edward at all.Not long after, another woman came with a drink for Edward. She smiled warmly and handed the drink to Edward.“I ordered a mocktail for you. I hope you like it," said the woman."Thank You." Edward answered briefly and immediately drank the drink.Edward took one sip, but he felt a strange reaction inside him. He held his head while complaining, "I don't know why my head feels heavy.""Are you okay?" The woman took a seat beside Edward while rubbing his shoulder."Don't touch me!" Edward ordered."Sorry." She sighed and looked at her friend. 'It seems like she managed to get information from Dean, but why is it so difficult to get information from this man?' she thought to herself, complaining

    Elena shook her head. “No, he's not angry. Don't worry," she replied, shrugging her shoulders.Benji breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad to hear that. You know, I keep thinking about that. I'm really worried that if he got angry with you, I would feel really guilty.”"When I got home, he even cooked soup for me." Elena talked about her husband's sweet treatments while smiling. “He treats me well.”"You are such a lucky wife," Benji responded.Barbara returned to the table with ice cream in her hand. “This ice cream tastes really good; don't you want to eat Elena's ice cream? This is your last day eating ice cream in this office.”Barbara's words made Elena's smile fade. The mention of the last day made her sad.“Stop talking as if this is the last day for me. We can still meet, or you can come to Wellington.”Lady Sofia came to the employee dining room, and her gaze met theirs. She smiled gracefully, and her steps were beautiful, like a model.Barbara is fascinated by Lady Sofia. She

    Lady Sofia attended a party that her master was supposed to attend. She came there with her driver. At this party, Dean Romano was also invited.While at the entrance, Lady Sofia stood in front of Dean. The man looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him. He had never seen her before."Who is she? I've never seen her. She is very beautiful. I have to be able to talk to her," Dean decided to himself.After the doorman finished checking, he let Lady Sofia into the ballroom. Dean's gaze couldn't help but follow Lady Sofia wherever she went.Dean showed his invitation to the doorman. “Please hurry! I have to talk to that woman," Dean ordered the doorman."Okay sir." He checked the invitation from Dean and scanned the man. Everything was fine. "Please, sir, you can come in."Dean stepped into the ballroom and looked for Lady Sofia, who had mingled with the group. He stopped in his tracks while looking around him.Dean saw Lady Sofia taking a drink from the table. Without thinkin

    Dean stepped closer to Lady Sofia. He stood in front of Lady Sofia and greeted the other guests who were there. Even though Dean was talking to someone else, his eyes glanced toward Lady Sofia.“Are there many conglomerate heirs coming to this party?” Dean asked."I don't think so. Many families don't have a high enough status to attend this party, and it could be said that you are the heir of the richest family in this city," said the woman who had been chatting with Lady Sofia."I know that the Romano family will soon control the assets of this entire city and even this country. Nothing can stop us," Dean said proudly.When Dean was proud, the woman interrupted Dean's words, making Dean offended.“But aren't the Jensen family still invited to this party? He didn't come, but this beautiful woman is his representative," she replied while looking at Lady Sofia.Lady Sofia smiled faintly. She looked at Dean and nodded faintly. Dean's expression suddenly changed. She looked annoyed."I'v

    The clock reads 4 a.m. Leon went to the residence of the owner of the black bracelet together with his subordinates and the police. They would arrest the man and ask him for information.They surrounded a house located on the edge of town. They looked at the man's house and saw a room with lights on the second floor.“I'm sure that's his room. That means he is awake now; we have to be more careful. Maybe he already knows we're coming," said one of the policemen to his friends. They sneaked into the house.After entering the house, there was no one on the first floor. Only silence and the sound of their careful footsteps reached their ears.“Is there no one on this floor?”"It seems so.""Are you sure?"They saw a room not far from there. They walked quietly to reach the room. They opened the door to the room, which was unlocked, and then immediately pointed their guns into the room.The policemen squinted because the room was so dark. They tried to enter the room and felt around the w

    Arriving at their new apartment, Leon immediately went to look for a new job, even though he actually went to meet the two women he had ordered.Leon headed to an elite residential area in the city of Wellington. He purposely allowed them to stay there for a while because the place was quite safe. With tight security, Leon wasn't worried about their safety.The taxi driver carrying Leon frowned when he saw the address Leon was going to. Seeing Leon's appearance, which did not reflect someone who was wealthy, shocked the driver.“Sir, is this address correct?” asked the driver."Yes, that's right.""Do you work as a servant there?" The driver's question made Leon silent for a moment as he furrowed his brow."What do you mean?" Leon responded."I mean, you work as a servant there, right? That's why you want to come to that elite residential area? Seeing your appearance is impossible if you are the owner of a house in that area," said the driver with a slightly mocking laugh.Leon closed

He looked at him questioningly at his return there.Before Leon asked him, the man handed Leon a house ownership card.“Sir, I think you left something in my car,” he said."Thank you," replied Leon as he accepted the card.The man looked at Leon from head to toe. “Sir, do you have a house in this elite area?” he asked.Without answering the question, Leon took money from his pocket and gave it to the taxi driver.“This is for you, thank you for delivering this.”The man smiled faintly. He felt embarrassed to ask Leon, so he had no choice but to leave there.“Thank you very much, sir.” He praised Leon's generosity.After the taxi driver left, Leon entered the residential area. He just bought a house in that area seven days ago.Mason was sitting on the balcony of his room, sipping his coffee.

    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.

    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?"

    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.

    “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 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
