Megan widened her eyes at her daughter's words. Cold sweat started to trickle down her temples.“W-what did you say? I conspired with Harry to harm you? Gosh, Elena, I'm your real mother, how could I do something like that! Just because now you are the wife of a rich Arison, you can be as impudent as you want to be with your mother!" Megan shouted angrily.But instead of feeling guilty about being scolded like that by her mother, Elena just chuckled softly. “Mom, after years of being your child, I know how you lie. You always cover it up by getting angry and shouting louder—like now.”Megan widened her eyes. Her hands were clenched in anger. Why did the situation turn out like this? Where's Elena, her daughter who is usually very easily influenced? Why is Elena suddenly so defiant like this? Ah, damn it, why didn't everything go according to her plans with Harry?Annoyed by feeling cornered, Megan again raised her hand to hit Elena, but this time, even without Reid's help, Elena herse
Charles Brown leaned back towards Anastasia Waverly, making the woman take a step back because she felt uncomfortable with their close proximity."You are wrong. You don't know who Mr. Arison really is, so everything you say is just your shallowly knowledge about Mr. Arison," said Charles in a sarcastic voice.For the first time, Charles openly shows that he hates Anastasia Waverly.Anastasia Waverly, who is used to receiving praise, certainly does not accept being called shallowly knowledgeable. She replied, “Then what is a real Reid Arison? Is he a person of great and noble character?” Anastasia Waverly again uses a dismissive tone.Charles Brown clenched his jaw. "There's no point in me telling you. From the start you've hated Mr. Arison, so whatever I say about Mr. Arison, you won't believe it," said Charles, then he straightened his body and got up to leave."Wait!" Anastasia Waverly exclaimed while chasing Charles Brown. Because she was in a hurry, Anastasia Waverly didn't pay a
As Charles Brown said to Anastasia Waverly, the reason Reid Arison didn't come to the office even though he had an important meeting was because he was taking care of his sick wife.After several days of being treated in hospital, the doctor allowed Elena to go home. Apart from experiencing a miscarriage, Elena suffered an injury to her left arm. Luckily her arm didn't break any bones, so her arm didn't need to be put in a cast.Even so, the doctor said that Elena's movements over the next two weeks will definitely be limited, so as much as possible someone should help Elena in carrying out daily activities that require movement of the left arm.Reid, who heard the doctor's words, immediately agreed. "There are many servants in our house who will definitely help her," said Reid.The doctor nodded, not doubting the number of servants in the arison residence which must be countless.Arriving at Arison's residence, Reid immediately gave instructions to several female servants to serve El
This afternoon at a fairly large company, a 27 year man was pacing back and forth in front of the photocopier. He was carrying piles of files.The plain shirt he was wearing seemed to be rolled up at the sleeves, showing off his strong, sweaty arms from the heat of the photocopier.And even after the files had been photocopied and delivered to their proper place, the man with the handsome face was still pacing back and forth, this time to the pantry to make coffee.People would think the man was an office boy if they saw what he did, but in fact he wasn’t. He is Reid Cliffton, the first son of the owner of the Cliffton family company who is actually treated like an office boy by his own younger brother, Liam Cliffton.Liam even told other employees not to hesitate to treat Reid the same.“Just tell him to make coffee or polish your shoes. He’s used to doing things like that at home,” said Liam during break time, when he and several other employees were in the canteen.“There’s no way
After office hours ended, Reid went straight to Nancy's house. This time he didn't announce his arrival in advance because he wanted to make it a surprise.Reid plans to take Nancy to the restaurant he has booked and propose there.It was still clear in Reid's memory how they first met. At that time, Reid accidentally bumped into Nancy in a busy shopping center."Sorry," Reid said. Then Reid was amazed to see the appearance of the woman in front of him, her body is slim and tall, with a very beautiful face and her shoulder-length blonde hair. Her red lipstick emphasizes the shape of her full lips.The woman didn't respond to Reid's apology, looking annoyed. She turned to leave.Reid, who didn't feel like leaving just like that, hurriedly said. “I'm Reid Cliffton. What's your name?" Reid wanted to get acquainted.Suddenly the woman's steps stopped. “You are a member of the Cliffton family?”Reid cursed to himself, regretting why he had just mentioned his family's name. Everyone in this
“Fuck! Are you crazy? How dare you hit me! Damn it!” Liam cursed angrily. Especially when he wiped his lips and found a red blood stain there, Liam's annoyance increased even more. Liam then pushed Reid back and swung his fist to hit him.Usually Reid would just silently accept Liam's anger, but this time it was different. Before Liam's punch could reach him, Reid dodged. It was Reid's turn to grab Liam by the collar, pulling it so that Liam had difficulty breathing because he was suffocating.“How dare you cheat on Nancy. Don't you have enough girlfriends that you have to steal mine too?!”So far, Liam has been known as a playboy. His background as the son of Daniel Cliffton, his high position in the office, and also his reputation as a genius make many women attracted to him. It wasn't difficult for Liam to get two women at once. Reid had often seen Liam surrounded by women, and the women were fighting for Liam's attention. Reid wasn't jealous about that, he didn't care. The only wo
Reid blinked, then a second later he laughed.Arison Company? Even though Reid was only a lowly employee at his father's company, Reid also knew about the Arison company. It is the largest company in the country with fantastic revenue every month. Always ranks number 1 in income reports printed in business magazines.Is it possible that Reid is the last heir to the famous Arison company? Crazy.These people in front of him were definitely just frauds. Why did he have to meet so many fraudsters tonight?Reid snorted after laughing. He said, “Sorry, you chose the wrong target. I'm in a bad mood, I can't help you fill this prank talk show."After saying that, Reid turned around to get into his car.But the man immediately said, “Aren't you curious about who your mother's family is?”That sentence made Reid stop in his tracks. He immediately turned around. "You know my mother's family?"The first thing that actually crossed Reid's mind was, "Is it true that my mother has a family?" becaus
The emotions that were most clearly visible on Jacob's face were expressions of joy. An expression that had not appeared on his face for a long time.Jacob looked at Reid as he continued his sentence, “You have the same eye color, almost the same face. I felt like I saw the male version of Claire. It's a shame that your mother is gone..." Jacob's voice turned sad when he said his last sentence, as did his expression.Reid was silent. He didn't expect that the day would come where he could meet someone who was also sad about his mother's departure. So far, Reid is the only person who is sad about Claire's departure, while the other members of the Cliffton family are grateful."Forgive me. My mother died while giving birth to me. It's all my fault," Reid said later, revealing his darkest thoughts so far.Reid often thought, if he wasn't there, his mother would still be alive. Even though Reid didn't like the idea that his living mother would still live with Daniel as his wife, Reid was
