The explosion of the confetti party popper was not only on the stage but in the room. All the guests of this event were surprised, but their faces immediately changed after knowing what popped it. When Ronald clapped his hands, the others also clapped their hands, making a cheerful expression for their success in celebrating the birthday celebration of the town of Meldham."Everyone here is very pleased with Mr. Aldrich's presence. I hope you will think about contributing to the town's development." For anyone to get such a strong statement in front of the stage, when he was the center of attention, they would find it difficult to escape. However Aldrich did not care about the opinions of others.He saw that Ronald's expression did not change even though the people around him seemed very interested in this statement. "If it is profitable, I will definitely contribute."It was a cold sentence, but it made Ronald laugh, followed by the others. They would think the statement was too funn
There was no hiding that Gallio was delighted with the reaction shown by Aldrich. At the time, he felt very fortunate that his ancestor had helped the right person, so now that the William family was nearing destruction, they were getting unexpected help.That person had even moved away from Aldrich as they had finished their business, they also knew they could not hold Aldrich's time for too long. Usually, he didn't drink this much, but today was enough to satisfy his excitement."Uncle, you look pleased. I'm grateful that Kate is friends with Selena in the end." Rome glanced at his uncle, who continued taking alcoholic drinks, setting aside his empty glass.Gallio was not too happy with his daughter befriending the illegitimate child of the Ledger family. He once showed his displeasure when it was wrong but it was only fleeting. At their second meeting, Gallio had accepted Selena.Until Gallio's eyes looked at Rome quite sharply. "You have now become an insolent child, huh? The one
The phone call was cut off without Aldrich realizing it. He was already staring at the woman beside him, resisting the woman almost touching his shoulder like they had a close relationship. The two stared at each other, but with very different expressions, Aldrich looked annoyed with the woman. Meanwhile, the woman seemed very cheerful about meeting unexpectedly with a man she was interested in."I knew that you were an extraordinary man, but I didn't expect you to be so extraordinary!" she still spoke in a high tone, in her standing position like that she looked at Aldrich in a slightly downcast manner. The smile was evident on his face. Aldrich finally stood up. He did not want to raise his head to look at the other person. "I didn't expect to meet you here."The sentence that Aldrich said made her happy. She thought it was a pleasant response, because this man seemed more likely to just ignore her, her heart pounding made her step closer to Aldrich.Lizzie tilted her head and loo
A few days had passed, and he felt a little tired due to the many things to do. After finishing everything he returned unannounced, he went back to where he came from.His nape felt tense, so he pressed it several times before getting out of the car. The servants there immediately greeted him, they made a respectful gesture towards the man, while the woman who happened to be at the front of the house saw the incident for a few seconds.And that was enough to make her turn around and leave the man who had just arrived."Selena, where are you going?" Aldrich moved his feet faster. He was now beside Selena, and the woman noticed the sudden avoidance of Aldrich.So she turned her gaze in the other direction. "I forgot there's work I haven't finished yet."Aldrich held her hand, he was being his usual calm self which for others would be very irritating. "Then come with me."The two of them were husband and wife, the wife welcoming her husband was a common thing. Selena, whose hand had been
A big news was heard, people were talking about this very seriously, and they were now acting like a psychiatrist or a kite expert. They did not stop what they were saying at all. instead it would make them more relaxed and could do many things they wanted. This was a piece of big news related to the Goldstein family members.Aldrich had told her to spread Selena's identity, he did such actions to create the desired scenario, so people would know who Selena was."I didn't realize that she was from the metro. Did you read the story about her mother?" a woman holding an americano in her hand excitedly said as she looked at her friend.She was filled with opinions inside her, so she wanted to channel them to her friend. When her friend nodded, she immediately raised her voice again."Right! I know what everyone's talking about, she's from the Bones family!" she said in an even higher tone, for her this conversation was even more exciting than before. She seemed to enjoy talking about oth
A man walked in and surprised everyone in the cake shop. He was dressed quite neatly, and many did not expect him to be holding a woman by the door. The man wearing a brown coloring coat had his knife at the woman's neck."Hee help me...." the short-haired woman stammered as the knife's pressure on her neck grew stronger.She was having trouble speaking, and the man behind her kept staring at the people inside the cake shop. "You shut up." he looked at the woman briefly and then returned his gaze to the others.Aldrich, still connected to Selena's phone, heard that he held himself even just to breathe in his place. He did not do that. He called Selena's name several times before, but she did not speak. It was obvious that something unpleasant was going on."Take out all your valuables or each of you will be injured and unable to get out of here." The man gripped the shirt of the woman he was holding very tightly and pointed the knife he was holding at them as if it could go straight t
Her footsteps were so light as she approached Aldrich. She had now embraced the man's arm easily. "I'm glad you've come here."Aldrich rubbed his head a few times. "I'm glad to hear that sweet voice of yours. Are you really okay?" he let Selena cling to him, the scent of Selena's perfume wafting at the tip of his nose.The two of them walked to enter the building, he also glanced at Yesi who immediately looked down. Aldrich already knew Selena's condition, but he still heard the answer from Selena."I'm fine. My shower was a stupid robber for using a knife to rob. Is owning a firearm a difficult thing, Aldrich?" Selena raised her head to look at Aldrich more easily than before. The man lowered his head slightly to look at Selena.He immediately answered Selena's curiosity. "Owning a firearm is not difficult, as long as you have the money."Selena nodded, but she had a slight difference of thought with Aldrich and did not say so. "Well that doesn't make up for the fact that they're sti
Her whole body felt light even though she was in a position with a lot of weight. Even though she would later become the center of attention of those who came here, Selena was not nervous like before.She even looked at herself in the mirror with a confident smile, Aldrich held her shoulders gently so that she could look at him."Everything is done, we're out." Aldrich made Selena nod her head, those who had dressed up neatly and had entered the appointed time for the opening of Selena's office in the Metro city immediately walked out.Agnes had told Selena beforehand, the guests had gathered at the bottom with very curious and happy expressions. Unfortunately, Cedric was not among them until Selena slightly addressed the matter to Aldrich."Is grandfather going to be okay?" Selena knew Cedric's condition, and Aldrich, who was beside her made her worry that Cedric's condition was getting worse.Aldrich still continued to walk beside her, he didn't look hesitant when answering question
