"You managed to make a deal with Maxian, Selena?" Berthan was surprised by what he had just heard.He was looking at Selena enthusiastically, which was highly frowned upon by Claire and Charlotte. Selena should not be getting attention from her father."That's right, if Selena gets the cooperation, she'll get a big lake favor." Aldrich helped Selena to show off her work.Aldrich accidentally saw Claire and Charlotte, who were silent in the dining area with annoyed faces."Ah, that must be a lie. You know, dear that Selena is a person who lacks socialization. How could she convince the company to cooperate?" Claire held Berthan's hand. She was seducing him into believing her.Berthan himself did not know about hearing that from Selena. He underestimated Selena, his illegitimate child who never gathered in formal family events like Charlotte. If it was her legitimate child, she, with a great circle of friends, would certainly be able to get such cooperation.Berthan nodded. "Right, ther
In the room, Selena was stunned by what Aldrich had done. She didn't expect Aldrich to behave like this, which heated things even more. Aldrich should not have behaved like this so that her father would not have to evict them from the Ledger family home. "Selena, pack up your things, we need to get out of here. No one wants to receive us here." Aldrich was calm. His eyes glinted at Selena's room. This room could have been a better one, a simple-looking room with straightforward furniture in it as well. They didn't consider Selena their child, even though Selena was illegitimate, but Selena had the name Ledger behind her. Aldrich exhaled. He was pretty sorry for the woman who was going to marry him."Aldrich, it's better now that we meet with Father again ask." She was very hesitant about running away from this house. Her father would surely make them already, and then Claire and Charlotte would make it even more challenging than this."I don't want to, Selena. We didn't do anythin
In the morning, Aldrich was getting ready to drive Selena to her office. After dropping Selena off later, Aldrich had other businesses to see the land he was going to build as one of the big companies in this city. The two of them were ready. Both of them had come out of the elevator to the parking lot. A red car had just entered, a car with a horse emblem and an open roof. The driver was a woman. She accidentally bumped into Aldrich's father's car, much to the surprise of Aldrich and Selena, who had just exited the parking lot. The woman exited the car in a hurry, looked at her car, and then back at Aldrich's car. "Who the hell put this ugly car here? It's just in my way!" the woman yelled. She was angry about the scuffs on her car. The paint was chipping a bit, giving her a headache. After several years of saving up, she could finally own this sports car, and the sports car she had taken so much care of was damaged like this. He blamed it all on the parked car. The worse car mu
Hearing Aldrich's threat made Tiana and the two security guards laugh. They watched Aldrich and Selena act up once, and Tiana kicked the car next to her."You're very good at leading things. Now you're threatening me and these two security guards if you dare to drive you away?" Tiana girded her loins as she said it harshly. She still looked at Aldrich fiercely because this man was unexpected."Don't dream. Humans like you should, of course leave here while I am the one who lives here. I pay the fees and it's not a small amount of money, so don't make me angry and get out of here!" Tiana snapped back. This was the first time she'd seen a cheap car here, and of course, the people living in the luxury apartments here weren't people who couldn't afford a luxury car."Yes Miss, what Miss said is absolutely true, these must be two con artists who broke into this apartment. We should report them to the police."The security guard glanced at her. He loved to belittle others when he was in a v
Ozil was very surprised to see Aldrich in front of him. He expected the two security guards working there to separate from the most powerful person."Mr. Ozil, why are you apologizing to him? He's an intruder and a fraud!" Tiana shouted, not accepting what she had just seen. This was strange because Ozil should apologize to her, not to a man with a cheap car.Ozil ignored Tiana. Cold sweat appeared on his hands. He couldn't even lift his face in fear of Aldrich."Sir, this man and that woman entered here by force. They made a mess," Ben spoke. He explained everything for Ozil to understand.Aldrich's appearance might look extraordinary, like a rich man, but Ben was very sure that the clothes he wore were cheap to cover his true identity. His boss did not need to apologize to such an insignificant man."Yes, there are so many shameless people now, they pretend to be poor. We'll take him and drag him roughly, Mr. Ozil. Leave it to us."Gary spoke. He truly believed what he was doing wou
"Why have you started working without my permission?" someone shouted. His voice sounded so booming that everyone stopped what they were doing momentarily."I-I'm just working according to the rules and proper working hours." The worker facing that person looked terrified.Aldrich, who was curious, sharpened his senses of hearing and vision towards the direction where the voice came from. There was another shouting voice that made him a little surprised. "You can't work until you give me the money, damn it!"Aldrich was surprised to see several people harassing one of the project workers. They were dressed in plain clothes with tattoos drawn on several parts of the five men's bodies.Aldrich's eyes widened when the big man's hand was about to land a punch on the worker. "Stop it! What are you doing?"The big man paused momentarily before punching the worker's cheek. He looked at Aldrich, as did the other thugs. "Whoa, who's there?"The worker was so frightened that his body was trembl
All the scientists were shocked. They looked at each other, then looked at Aldrich with disbelief. One of them remembered something. He looked at his three colleagues with a frown. "Didn't we hear some time ago that a great man would come here and help fund our project?"The young researcher who had rejected Aldrich earlier agreed with his colleague's words. "Yes, you're right. But is it really him? Just look at his appearance. It's not convincing."The researchers noticed Aldrich's modest appearance, which did not reflect that of a typical rich man. The senior researcher, who had agreed to accept the offer made by Aldrich, looked at his three colleagues with a neutral gaze. "But appearances don't always reflect what a person has. We also don't know if that person is really the one mentioned by the leader to fund our project.""Yes, he's right. We can't judge someone by their appearance alone. It could just be because it's his day off." The middle-aged researcher tried to think positi
"Help us! Anybody, please come here! Someone out of their mind is vandalizing our car." Charlotte continued to scream for help as Aldrich smashed rocks against Jake's windshield, making the sound of shattering glass loud and frightening Charlotte.Jake tried to hit Aldrich, but Aldrich dodged and was much more potent than expected. Quickly, Aldrich counterattacked Jake. Aldrich twisted Jake's arm, pulled it, and slammed Jake's body to the ground.Jake winced in pain as his back hit the floor with the rocks on it. "Damn it! Damn, my back hurts like hell."Not letting Jake continue to babble, Aldrich returned the attack to the man by stomping on Jake's foot, causing the man to cry out in pain. Jake tried to get up and move his legs to make Aldrich fall, but unfortunately, he was already in so much pain that he could not sit up."Hey, let go of him, damn it!" Charlotte tried to help Jake by beating on Aldrich's arm, but Aldrich didn't budge.Charlotte panicked as she saw her lover wincin
