"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

"I heard that the Ledger family has a dark secret. If we can find that information, we can bring down the Ledger family." One of them looked enthusiastic about finding out the information."Yes, we should be able to bring down the Ledger family. I'm sure that they're hiding something, just like the case of their future son-in-law yesterday. My hunch is that it's true, not just a misunderstanding." Another one agreed, linking it to Jake's case some time ago."But besides his dark secret of having an illegitimate child, what else is he hiding?"I don't know, but if we find out, it will certainly be a threat to him."All of them who were there chuckled at this.Aldrich walked away when the discussion about Ledger's family from the two people had changed to another topic. He thought about the rumors that the two people were talking about. Aldrich reached into his pants pocket and took out a cell phone. He dialed Jose's number."Can I help you, Master?" asked Jose from the other side after

The black-clad servants approached Selena while bowing their heads respectfully. They extended their hands with friendly smiles. "Come, Miss. We will serve you."Selena, who was still in confusion, got off the bed. She grabbed one of the maids' hands, and they led her away to the bathroom. Selena thought they would bathe her, so she was surprised when they went inside. "I-I can clean myself. You guys can come out and wait there.""We'll give you a scrub treatment first before you clean yourself, Miss." One of the maids replied kindly, then took out some soothing scented powders. She raised her hand, pointing at the bathtub. "We will also pour some milk powder into the bathtub for you to bathe in later."One of the maids turned on the water tap in the bathtub while pouring the milk powder. "While you wait for the water to fill up, we will give you a scrub." She gestured toward the toilet seat. "I apologize, Miss. Please sit here while we scrub you."Selena nodded her head, then obeyed

Madam Estelle raised her hand, inviting Selena to step out. "Come, Miss."Selena took a deep breath, trying to reduce her nervousness. She was accompanied by Madam Estelle as she ambled past the neatly lined-up servants to the exit of the building. Selena was even more surprised when Madam Estelle brought her to a stop right in front of a long, luxurious car.A man dressed in black opened the limousine door while bowing his head respectfully. Madam Estelle raised her hand, inviting Selena to enter the limousine. "Please, Miss."Selena climbed into the limousine, followed by Madam Estelle. They sat next to each other. The luxury car drove off, followed by dozens of other luxury cars from behind, looking like a royal carriage. Selena glanced back. Dozens of luxury cars were lined up neatly behind the limousine.Madam Estelle smiled at the look on Selena's face, which clearly implied confusion. "Miss, you must be very confused by all this. Everything was prepared in such a way by Mr Aldr

This was the most extravagant wedding party ever. Madam Estelle slowly led Selena until they were at the altar facing Aldrich. The 37-year-old woman released her hand from Selena's, then stepped back to let Aldrich take her place holding Selena's hand. "Please, sir."Selena's heart skipped a beat as Aldrich took her hand gently. Madam Estelle bowed her head respectfully. "Excuse me, sir, miss."Aldrich and Selena nodded their heads in unison. "Thank you." Madam Estelle excused herself from their presence, mingling with the invited guests.Jose confronted Selena beside the altar. "Before the wedding ceremony begins, I would like to tell you something. Mr Aldrich will be giving an extraordinary dowry to Miss Selena Ledger." He raised his hands above his head as he clapped his hands lightly, and then many servants entered with trolleys containing various gifts.The first few trolleys with gifts of two gold sets with the most expensive diamonds and gemstones were beautifully displayed in

Jake and Charlotte's wedding was a little less festive after the lunchtime ceremony. Jake's extended family and business partners were the only guests in the room. The guests had left by late afternoon, and the wedding was over. There was nothing special about their wedding. Charlotte looked glum and no longer excited when she discovered Selena's wedding was more lavish than hers. She felt defeated.Charlotte's party ended in the afternoon. She and Jake had booked a room at the hotel, so they went straight to the hotel room after the event. Meanwhile, Berthannn and Claire went home. Charlotte didn't say a word. Her demeanour suddenly changed to silence.Jake had been watching her since the drive over. They got out of the car and entered the three-star hotel. A simple hotel that needed to match Charlotte's expectations. Jake pressed the elevator button and went inside, followed by Charlotte. "Why have you been so quiet since noon? Did something happen?"Charlotte was silent and answere

In the morning, Charlotte woke up with a headache from last night's hangover. She blinked her eyes while sitting up. Her body was only covered by a blanket, unprotected by a single thread. She didn't remember what happened last night, but she and Jake had spent a long and brutal first night. The room was messy, with their clothes scattered all over the floor.Charlotte reached for her cell phone on the nightstand. She looked at the screen full of messages and missed call notifications. She opened one of the messages from her mother asking how she was doing after learning the news of Selena's wedding. Remembering that made her angry again.Charlotte threw her phone at the bed until it fell to the floor. "Damn it! Damn it! How can Selena's wedding be more luxurious than mine when that useless man is just the butler's son?"Charlotte trapped her hair tightly as she screamed. That woke Jake up. Jake rubbed his eyes while blinking. "What's wrong? Why are you yelling like that so early in t

He quickly dismounted, and the servant immediately took the horse that Jun had just given them. Without saying anything else, he immediately went in to see the birth of his nephew.He could not pass up such a wonderful thing and would envy others for being present at the birth of the future successor to this great family. As he walked into the house, many servants seemed to be busy arranging things for the birth of their young master.A servant had met Jun and had directed him to another area, one that was dedicated as a hospital-like setting for the Goldstein family.He arrived at a bustling scene of people at the front door where Aldrich, who she had not expected to be this busy, was seen. The man walked from one side to the other repeatedly, which was very different from how he always acted.Jun was already there and spoke while looking at her friend. "Calm down, you better sit down now," Jun spoke but was stared at coldly by Aldrich. He did not listen to what his friend was saying

The loud gunfire was heard, and the birds in other parts of the place flew into the sky because they heard the great sound of gunfire. They sensed danger with just such a thing. The figure who had just shot noticed his target, who had fallen to the ground and was covered in blood. On the horse, he looked back coldly."Oh yes, you are perfect indeed. Look at you taking down a huge deer." Jun exhaled. Even though he had gotten a deer earlier, its size was very far compared to what Aldrich was getting now.Aldrich walked leisurely towards her immobilized quarry, followed by Jun. "You can't beat me any day." The man who heard it immediately nodded his head. He did not expect such a thing at all because he was the one who observed Aldrich most closely.The two men were hunting in the area of the Goldstein family home. This forest-filled and vast area had intentionally wild animals, when they were in space, the family usually would spend time hunting here. And the two of them met because th

This was their first meeting for two months, even when her brother was not married, the woman could not come because there was something she had to do. Her appearance in front of Selena surprised Selena a little. Because Olivia's appearance looked different from the last time they had seen each other. The woman was indeed badly injured from fighting the aliens. After that, she healed herself and trained herself.Her skin looked very charming, exotic brown, and her hair was short. But she still had a distinctive smile on her face when greeting Selena. "Good to see you again, Selena."They met without the presence of Kate. Olivia immediately saw Selena's large beak, and she smiled. "It's nice to give that little one a world of peace."Selena nodded her head, and she rubbed her stomach a few times. "This is because of Aldrich's hard work." every time she thought of Aldrich, there were many things that the man had done. He was a very stubborn and hard-working person, such a great figure t

When they arrived, manyny people immediately saw them, they had attracted the attention of those there. No one did not know their names because of what they did. Especially Aldrich Goldstein. That man was the main star of the day, but he was still very eye-catching.The starring figure smiled a little at the altar where the wedding was taking place. He was holding the hand of the woman who was his partner, just now the two of them had kissed because their marriage had become legal.Now, they were moving away from that place, the hall of the enormous party venue. "Look at them dancing. They're so good together." Selena spoke, glancing at Kate and Jun, dancing in the hall's center. Everyone was watching them and debating about it."Yeah," Aldrich didn't know what to make of the sight that didn't interest him.After the dance was over, many people were also left to dance, and it was at this time, Aldrich reached out to Selena. "What's wrong?" Asked Selena, looking confused."Dancing, of

Although the alien attack ended a few months ago, that did not mean Aldrich would not think about it anymore. In fact, this man was already preparing in case they came back to Earth one day."All the stones from the Sea have been removed, Master. And a search for patterns or something strange is also underway." Pedro gave information to Aldrich."Do it well." he only replied briefly because he knew his people were working well. From a distance, he could see his men doing their job.Now, she refocused on the figure in front of her. She looked calm as she took a sip of her hot coffee. "You've been so busy, even though it was only a few months ago, and you were appointed world leader. Aren't you tired?" Jun questioned that he was watching his friend closely. Perhaps the question was a little mundane because he knew the answer."This is the perfect time for me to build something bigger, something they can't interfere with. And show what the Goldstein family is capable of," he answered wit
Chapter 342
Two months after the alien attack was over, the construction of the places affected by the alien attack had been completed. People could live as before, full of purpose, and their ambitions were as before, wanting a better life.And the figure who had achieved his goal was standing confidently as his presence without saying anything made others bow to him. He was Aldrich Goldstein, having earned the position he wanted as the world leader because of his merit and outstanding hard work. The people admired him greatly, and it was the people who pushed him to become a leader that no one could challenge."It's just as you said, Aldrich. You don't need to interfere anymore is that it's the people who moved to get you into that position." Selena complimented her husband, who had just approached her.The man had just given a speech on his appointment as the world leader, and now he was sitting back together with Selena. The look in his eyes was still so calm. "Yes, that's smart work." He admi

A flurry of activity was happening worldwide, especially in the city that had just been attacked. They immediately cleaned up, and their mouths did not stop talking as they witnessed something crazy.Those crazy reporters captured a video that was incredible to all the people of the world. Something that they could not defeat. Even their government had been defeated by a man who was the 8th leader of the Necton region."If those reporters hadn't been reckless like this, we wouldn't have known about the service he has rendered." a woman spoke, her cell phone still in hand. She and her friend were witnessing something truly crazy.The woman nodded her head. "That's right, Mr. Aldrich has defeated the alien with his own hands. But unfortunately, that last part is all they got." the woman exhaled, still feeling confused, but that's why they slowly returned to normal life.Because of that incident and the scattered footage, people called the aliens heroes. They admired that figure so much

The ground was hollowed out from the powerful push from above. People could feel the vibrations. A woman in a shelter, in a bunker belonging to the Goldstein family, watched this battle uneasily from the large screen in front of her.The still injured Yesi and the many servants ready to guard Selena were beside her. They were always prepared to do anything in case something bad happened. As for Jose, he was the one who organized the movements of the people and robots that assisted Aldrich.Selena's eyes did not move. She wanted to know what happened there until finally, the observation camera they flew could capture what happened next. Selena just smiled when she saw her husband still standing and deflecting the attack the aliens gave.Agnius looked again at that, not expecting that the powerful fist he had just done could not succeed against Aldrich. Just as he had parried Agnius' hand, he suddenly changed his movements, making him take off with that and immediately slammed him to the

The explosion was huge, and it made the surroundings tremble. People had run to find a safe place because they did not want to die so easily in the face of something they could not face.But something shocking happened in front of Agnius' eyes again, in front of stronger ones. And just then there was a retaliation that happened to them, the airplane they were traveling in was suddenly shot at and crashed."T-this... is impossible!""Maintain balance!"The noisy voices were heard, and they immediately gave orders and looked panicked. Inside the plane, they experienced quite a strong pressure. Not what they thought.How could humans do something like this to them?Now their plane was falling down, surrounded by many robots. The robots immediately launched their action to dismantle the plane. So, the aliens inside grabbed their weapons to face the robots.With their abilities, ten aliens made the robots fall to the ground immediately. They blew them up with hand gestures. But the many ro
