As Evelyn turns around, Sofia gets the chance to see her melancholy gloomy face. And there she thinks that the closest friend might also have an affair with her ex-husband too.She feels like she has been betrayed. But on the other hand, she knows that she no longer has anything to do with Alex, and it’s not her right to be so upset. But still, she finds it hard to ignore the absurd jealousy she feels in her heart.Without thinking much, she just tells the driver to leave before Evelyn notices the car.“Elliot! Take me back to the office!” she issues.“Mam! What about your daughter?” asks the driver as he starts the car.“I believe my aunt has taken her back home.”The driver turns the car heading back to Vintage Vega main office. Meanwhile, Alex is escorting Evelyn back to her car.
The few employees who happen to be also there in the elevator just glance at Dylan secretly. Of course, they don’t know what issue he currently has.But they misunderstand that maybe there are other employees who invite his annoyance, and it makes them so uncomfortable to be in the same elevator as him. It’s no longer a secret anymore. Wherever this boss’ cousin walks around this company, he will always spread the menacing aura to all the employees around him.As he walks down the hallway on the top floor, he gets the chance to see the situation inside Evelyn’s office, whose door is still wide open. Somehow, he believes that Evelyn is just like the other employees in supporting Alex, and he never likes her.He gets in, and notices Evelyn’s 5 years-old-daughter is also there. And immediately, he puts on his cold arrogant face, and barks at them.&l
Regardless of how malevolent or wicked a person may be, the longing to perform good deeds and be seen as virtuous persists within. At the very least, contributing positively to our own lives and the lives of those around us, we know we have the right to do so. Sofia Vega is no exception. She acknowledges that her aunt once had grievances with her late father. Yet, regardless of the severity of their disputes, she remains committed to benevolence towards her aunt and family. Endowed with substantial wealth, her eagerness to uplift Georgina and her children's lives is palpable. It's an obligation stemming from her appreciation for the life she leads. She used to believe, when she does good things, then good things will also come back to her. But lately, doubts have begun to creep in her heart. “Tell me, Kylie!” Sofia queries her secretary while gazing at her father's portrait in the office. “Am I not justified in showing kindness to my own family?” Kylie briefly ponders, contemplati
Despite his imposing stature and formidable appearance, the Russian man betrays a touch of melancholy on his face, though he's keen on not displaying too much sorrow in front of the little girl. He believes it is too early for the kid to learn this harsh reality about family feuds. Yet, that old Georgina has been talking too openly in front of the kid, thinking that the kid is too stupid to comprehend such matters. Regrettably, he can no longer shield the child from the knowledge of her parents' divorce. The child's perceptiveness renders it challenging for Boris to consult her with another lie. But… “Listen to me! Your Papa still loves your Mom. And one thing for sure, he loves you more. You are the most precious thing for him in this world.” “But the old hag always keeps me away from Papa. Boris! Why would she do that?” Instantly, Boris silences her with a swift gesture, casting wary glances around to ensure Georgina isn't within earshot. He scrunches his face with a cringed ex
Uncomfortable to continue to bring up the issue, Boris diverts the conversation to other matters that are no less important. “Anyway, about giving this man the money, is it really necessary?” Sofia scrunches her face with a bit of confusion. “If you have another view, feel free to share it with me.” “Considering Georgina has already caused a spectacle in front of the other parents at the kindergarten, spending such a significant sum to suppress it seems futile. Numerous people are already aware of your situation. There’s no meaning to cover it up, I believe.” “I know! Evelyn has mentioned it earlier,” Sofia states. “I could dismiss it as long as there's no concrete proof about what Georgina had said. Rumors tend to fade. However, it will be different if those dirty pictures become public. Digital traces are hard to erase. What if they circulate on social media, and Elly has to grow up with all of that hanging over her?” “But giving that man the money isn’t enough as a guarantee th
Alex takes a glance at them for a moment coldly, before he tries to ignore their insult. “I came here to kill some time. Not killing some cockroaches like you!” And suddenly… Prang!!! A dude slams a liquor bottle on the table, expressing his displeasure with Alex’s rebuke. His pride is hurt, to find someone he sees as a weak man dares to taunt him like that. It’s the same with the rest. They are the kind of thugs who like to insult others, but can’t stand to be insulted. The bartender, who has just come bringing the lemon juice for Alex, is now looking so terrified. So far, he has been acting like a real dude in belittling Alex. But now, noticing there will be a fight, he begins to be chickened out. Alex nonchalantly drinks the lemon juice a bit. He then takes a deep breath while tasting how sour that lemon juice is. He actually intends to ignore his annoyance with that strong sour taste. But the thugs behind keep agitating him. “Look at him! Can’t even stand the taste of lemon
As Alex is silent in pondering, a man with a slick back hairstyle in a neat tuxedo comes approaching. The man hands over a note, listing all the damage that Alex has done, including the price of the lemon juice, which is deliberately made worth a glass of whiskey.Not to mention the compensation money of casting the customers away, which only makes Alex’s face scrunched.“You really take a count for everything, huh?”“Of course! And I’ve been taking notes for every word you said,” replies the man. “And you still have to pay the hush money on the people you just injured. We don't want this matter to reach the ears of the police.”“Are you trying to squeeze me?”Boris snatches the notes, and notices the figure is over $25k. He tells that man to just ignore that compensation money, but Alex insists on paying them all.“No, it’s okay! I did say I’ll pay for everything.”“Man! I know you used to be my boss. But…”“You think I’m broke just because Sofia kicked me from her house? After all,
Bella tries to ease the tension. But the more she shows her trust and concern to Alex, the more that young rookie is irritated. Even his own partner has started to show his confusion a bit. Feeling as someone with power and authority, Melvin forces himself to try entering Alex's house. It’s all just for the sake of personal interest and his blind jealousy, and no longer has anything to do with complaints from neighbors. But Alex blocks his way, standing right in front of him with a cold face, which only makes the rookie even more agitated. “Did you bring any search warrant?” Alex inquires. Melvin is twitching his eyebrows. He begins to think about something, and looks around for a moment. And indeed, there are still a few neighbors watching from their houses. “Come on, Man! Why don't you just let me in, so that I can say something to them.” “I have no obligation to do so,” denies Alex. “There’s no plain crime in sight, you are not here to arrest me to give you a reason to search
