Claire stepped back slowly so that Anthony wouldn't notice her leaving, but just as she turned around, Anthony shouted at her."Where are you going?" shouted Anthony, who immediately approached Claire and stood in front of the woman.Claire crossed one arm over her chest and bowed to Anthony. “My Lord, I have to leave here immediately. I have something to do," said Claire, trying to escape from the man.Anthony immediately grabbed Claire's wrist. "You can't just leave before I know who you are and what your purpose was in doing that to Leon!"Claire was no longer afraid to look at Anthony. She looked at the man with courage. “My Lord, I am Leon's ex-wife, and I did that because I missed him,” she said firmly. “Is that explanation enough for you? I have to go!” She brushed off Anthony's hand roughly and immediately left the man.Anthony was just silent. He stared at Claire's back, which was getting further away from his sight, with a frown.“Oh, so she is Leon's ex-wife?” He was surpri
Wilhelm was in a room with a middle-aged man. They took their wine glasses and toasted them."We toast to our victory, which is in sight," said the man, and then his laughter boomed."Sir, soon the Jensen family will definitely be destroyed, especially after their sole heir will be gone forever," said Wilhelm. He grinned.Wilhelm wasn't the only one behind this. There was another party who was the main perpetrator, because he was the mastermind of this murder plan. He used Wilhelm as his only accomplice.Wilhelm, who had a grudge against the Jensen family after his son went to prison, agreed to his offer.The sound of a cell phone ringing on the table interrupted their conversation. It showed Renee's name on Wilhelm's cell phone screen.Wilhelm took his cell phone and answered the call."What's the matter?" Wilhelm asked.“Sir, I have brought her home with me. Now you can start your plan," explained Renee."Okay. If you don't want your daughter to die with that bastard, don't let her
The atmosphere at the dining table that morning seemed quiet. There was no conversation whatsoever—not even a good morning greeting from her parents. Elena, who was still annoyed by her mother's rude attitude last night, decided not to talk to her parents. She would only speak if they asked her first.Renee and Joe looked at each other. Their gazes turned to Elena. They seemed to be planning something.“Ahem!” Renee cleared her throat. There was no reaction from Elena; she continued eating.“Elena.” Renee's voice drew Elena's gaze."Yes, Mother?" Elena responded.“Tomorrow we will return to Havelock. I want you to come with us, Elena.” Renee's words made Elena gasp.“I will stay in Auckland. I can't go with you," said Elena, shaking her head. Her relationship with Leon was not good, but she never thought about leaving the city.“Are you still hoping that Leon will come to pick you up? You've even seen that he's hugging his ex-wife; I'm sure he still loves her. I feel like you're only
Michael looked around, and after seeing no one there, he got out of his car. He approached the house."I've heard that the young master married a poor girl, but her parents could rent a house as luxurious as this," Michael muttered, a little surprised.Michael touched the fence and found that it was locked. He's not out of his wits. Michael had prepared everything. He has a tool to open the lock.It took him a few seconds, and the fence opened. The man immediately moved towards the main door.Michael looked in the window and found that the place was empty. "Could it be that Miss Elena was in the car that just left?" he muttered."There is only one way to find out." Michael unlocked the door, and he managed to get into the house.“Mrs. Elena, are you here?” Michael exclaimed while looking around him.“Mrs. Elena!"Elena heard Michael's voice downstairs. She ran towards the door and shouted from there."I am here! Help me! I was locked in the room; they had locked me in!” Elena shouted
Leon ran out of the house when he saw Michael's car coming. He was sure that his assistant had succeeded in bringing Elena home.Michael got out of the car and looked at Leon with a smile. He opened the car door, and Elena got out of it.“Elena!” Leon immediately ran over to the woman and hugged her tightly. He kissed Elena repeatedly and hugged her without paying attention to his surroundings.“Leon, I really missed you. I'm sorry for not wanting to listen to you," said Elena with teary eyes.“No, Elena. This is not your fault. But what is clear is that now our problems have been resolved and we will start a new, happier life," replied Leon with a smile.Leon held Elena's hand and invited her into the house. “Tonight there is a party I have to attend. I want you to come with me," said Leon.Elena nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you.""Sorry to bother you, sir." Michael, who was walking behind them, spoke. Leon turned his neck to look at his assistant.“Yes, Michael?”"The road to get to
Elena's body felt weak. Her decision to continue attending the party was apparently not the right one. During the 30-minute on the road, she just leaned her body into Leon's arms while the man rubbed her head."Elena, you better rest at the hotel later, and I will attend the party alone," said Leon.Elena just nodded in resignation to her husband's orders. She couldn't insist on attending the party because of her condition."When we get there, take us straight to the nearest hotel!" Leon ordered his driver.But instead of responding to his words, the driver just remained silent. Leon looked at the man in surprise."Did you hear me?" Leon asked in a louder tone, but there was no reply.The car was on an incline, and ahead there was a road that went down quite steeply."Sir …." The driver's voice sounded stuck in his throat. He didn't look okay.Leon and Elena were shocked. Elena was scared, but Leon tried to calm her down.“Leon, what happened to him? Why did he suddenly become like th
"What?" Leon gasped. His body felt weak when he found that Elena was still in a coma.“That's right, sir. Mrs. Elena suffered a hard blow to her head, causing nerve damage in her brain. She had very serious injuries, and,” Dr. Edwin's voice sounded slower. "And we also didn't succeed in saving Mrs. Elena's fetus," he continued."There is no way this is happening to her!" Leon exclaimed with his hands tightly clenched into fists. Suddenly, Leon's body swayed and was about to fall, but Dr. Edwin immediately supported him. The terrible accident of that night flashed through Leon's head. He was sure that someone must be behind the accident.Leon still clearly remembered that his driver that night suddenly had a seizure. He always hired people who had no history of illness, so it was impossible for the driver to have a seizure because of his illness. Something must have caused the driver to convulse.“I want to meet Elena! Please take me to meet her!” Leon asked while holding Dr. Edwin.Dr.
Michael took the glass and smelled the aroma of the coffee that was left in the half of the glass. His eyes widened when he noticed the smells. He found the exact same smell in his late father's coffee before his father died of a drug overdose.“This smell? Is it possible that he deliberately wanted to end his life this way?" Michael thought. His thinking was broken when he remembered Leon's rule that all workers in his house must be healthy, free from all diseases, and not have an addiction to drugs.“How could this happen? Why doesn't anyone know that he is taking drugs?” Michael muttered.***"That's what happened, sir. I brought a sample of the coffee to the laboratory, and the results stated that there was drug content in the coffee. Your driver died of a drug overdose," said Michael.“But why doesn't anyone suspect him? They should be able to fire him immediately if he is working under the influence of drugs.”“Young master, I am still investigating. I suspect that there is an e
