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
Jake couldn't escape the police. Especially when his parents approached. They all looked panicked. "What's going on, sir?" The police again explained the reason for Jake's arrest to his parents. Jake's father looked at his son with piercing eyes. "What have you done? You ruined a good family!" The look on Jake's mother's face seemed to turn deathly pale. The middle-aged woman covered her mouth in disbelief at what her son had done. "Why did you do that?" Jake just hung his head regretfully. He couldn't argue or evade because if he didn't cooperate, the punishment he would get after the trial would be very severe. "Come, Mr. Jake." The policeman took Jake by the arm to lead him into the police car. "Jake!" called Jake's mother in a low voice. Meanwhile, Jake's father could only stare at the back of his son, who was getting further away from his sight with a sharp gaze full of anger. Of course, where would they put their faces? Jake got into his car with complicated feelings. Angry
"Daddy, please do something to free Jake." Charlotte looked at Berthan with tears in her eyes.Berthan rubbed his face roughly. "Are you out of your mind? He committed fraud and embezzled a large sum of money. The punishment will definitely be severe. We can't do anything if he has to go to jail for a long time."Charlotte cried even more hysterically at the thought of Jake's unfortunate fate in prison. Charlotte let go of her mother's embrace and fell at her father's feet. "Please, Daddy. Please do something so that Jake can be free. If he ends up in jail, what will happen to me? I'll be the target of others for failing to get married. Won't the family's name be ruined even more if that happens?"Claire embraced Charlotte's body again while looking at her husband with a sad gaze. "Please help her. It's all too late anyway. Didn't you think about how your daughter would feel if everyone gossiped about her? Think about it carefully."Berthan sat on the sofa. His whole body felt weak. H
Selena stared at Aldrich with an incredulous look. She wasn't sure what the man in front of her was saying. It was not new to her that the men close to her were even more interested in Charlotte when they found out who she was, who was only an illegitimate child in the Ledger family.Aldrich noticed the unchanged look on Selena's face. "I don't like Charlotte. Charlotte's nature is the worst woman I've ever known and she has no intelligence. Tends to be careless in making decisions and can also only judge the quality of others by their status."Selena watched Aldrich carefully, then had quite different thoughts on Aldrich, unlike Charlotte's view. Selena smiled, then turned her face towards the food before them. "Butler Rhodes is really very good. He managed to raise you well. Butler Rhodes is a very good man. No wonder you are too."Aldrich smiled happily at Selena's praise. "You're also a good woman. Your gentle demeanor is one of your qualities."Selena blushed with embarrassment a
