Selena held Aldrich's hand, making the man stare at Selena, who was visibly frightened by what had just happened. She had always been verbally and physically abused by her family. "Aldrich, you're provoking them too much. What if they don't accept a night of raising my rent? It'll cost me even more and poor Lina here..." Aldrich took Selena's hand, then patted it twice in a calm manner. "Selena, as I've always told you, you just need to trust me. Take it easy, it'll be fine because I know what I'm doing." They both stared at each other, and Selena noticed Aldrich's confidence. She had felt this way so many times she couldn't ignore it. In fact, Aldrich could always prove himself. Selena finally nodded, Aldrich immediately released Selena's hand grip from him when he saw the two men he had made fall earlier had stood up and aimed fists at him. He didn't want Selena to get hurt. "Aldrich!" Selena shouted in surprise, but Aldrich could take them both down well. As an heiress
"You're asking your friend for help again?" Asked Selena. Hearing that voice, she didn't become more accustomed to seeing what her husband was doing because he had a very reliable place. They walked quietly back to Selena's office. "That's right. I have a lot of friends to rely on, so if you need anything just tell me." Aldrich replied calmly. A lot had happened today, and it was great that Selena had seen the news of what Aldrich was doing and was now witnessing that the man who had become her husband could silence people who were being mean. "That problem, doesn't that mean I won't get a rent increase?" Selena recalled what the two rude people had done earlier. They immediately apologized and said the rent would not be increased. Aldrich nodded. If he did that, he would get an unpleasant reply. "Why?" Asked Selena, surprised by Aldrich's statement. "His family isn't a very great family, Selena. My friend is far greater than he is and what he did was a form of abuse of t
Kate's eyes widened at Aldrich's words. This action taken by the man in front of her was completely unreported. Previously, she thought that Aldrich was a shocking man. A grin appeared on her face. "Indeed, the blood of a lowly person cannot be eliminated just like that. Look you haven't done anything yet now that you have imagined, you have a lot to gain, if you can indeed prove yourself I will of course give you a reward." Kate thought this was a fun bet and was confident the man before her would be ashamed of his actions. "Of course I should get something in return, you're already giving me the pleasure of telling me this and that you should also give me something in return if I win this bet." Kate glanced at Selena. She seemed to be saying that look at the man beside Selena. The man couldn't hide his greed. Selena herself needed clarification about what she should do. She couldn't say anything about what to do. Honestly, she just wanted these two people to stop making usel
At the Aldrichs' penthouse, Selena was astonished that so many people were in their penthouse. When she had just arrived, the people saw Selena and charmingly saluted her. "Who are you?" asked Selena in surprise. Selena looked around for her husband's whereabouts, but these people had apparently entered the penthouse without Aldrich, which made her very uneasy. "We are the servants and bodyguards who will be working here from now on, Mrs. Selena." Selena was stunned to hear the statement of a butler in front of her. The servant looked down in an absolutely perfect manner. Selena felt worried again because Aldrich might have asked for help from his friend to provide them with many workers. "Were you ordered by Aldrich?" asked Selena cautiously. She was being very cautious because many things were going on."Master Aldrich's friend sent him, Lady Selena." Selena widened her eyes. She pressed her forehead a few times, as she had expected. So many people were working here, and even
Aldrich went to the Ledger family home, and the people there looked at him with disgruntlement and condescension. "Look at him, just the son of a servant, he's so arrogant. He's a swindler and has nothing." A maid who was tidying up the house spoke in a big voice. She deliberately acted like that because she felt he had to be on Charlotte's side to show that she was a person who would defend her master. She looked at Aldrich intensely, and Alrcih didn't care about that. "Do you know that some time ago Miss Charlotte said that man and that bastard child woman were stealing here. That's why it's very busy now and Lord Berthan asked him to come here. That uneducated man should take responsibility for what he did." Her eyes were wide when she spoke like that, and the words that her coworker had just said were fascinating to the other maid, the look in her eyes was so enthusiastic that other people's difficulties would satisfy them. "Butler Rhodes will definitely suffer in his fina
The day appointed by Kate arrived, as both of them had a bet. Of course, each of them prepared themselves very well. Selena looked at Aldrich with great worry for fear that Aldrich would experience embarrassment because of her best friend's actions. Aldrich was wearing a light brown double-breasted suit. Aldrich looked charming and looked like a person who was used to it. "Do you have to go there? You don't have to go there, and I'll tell her I'm the one holding you back." Selena stared intently. From the mirror's reflection, Aldrich clearly saw that Selena was worried about him. As a person who had experienced a lot of oppression throughout her life, Aldrich could understand her worry. The woman who had become his wife cared about him deeply and had a gentle heart. "I've prepared everything. If I don't go, it will only be a disadvantage."Selena approached, shook her head softly, and looked at Aldrich weakly. "I know that the two of us are new acquaintances, but I don't want to d
Aldrich knew the family well and did not expect Kate to use the family with nasty gossip. Because now the two men he had seen earlier were beside him. "I know that you are married to Selena. Although she is an illegitimate child, she does not deserve to live with a servan’s son like you, so what can you give her?" Steven spoke satirically. He deliberately did not look at Aldrich, wanting to pressure Aldrich, who was beside him. Aldrich acted calmly. He didn't reply to Steve's words, which upset Steve, but Ian supported it. "He's probably deaf. I heard that Selena is working with Maxian. That makes this useless man feel he has the upper hand because he can use Selena's greatness to cover up his shortcomings. Rumour has it that she used the Ledger family's wealth to throw a lavish party and must have gotten into a lot of debt." Ian laughed as he said it, even though several other people were around them. He said it very smoothly, and the people around them seemed very interested in w
He worked so hard to come here. He would have never come here if he hadn't asked Charlotte to be in this place because he had no reputation or business.The invitation was obtained quite complicated. People who were registered in the business association could not necessarily get the invitation. Then by using Charlotte, he finally got the advantage. After Charlotte begged her father, he worked so hard, but when he arrived, he saw the person he hated the most.In the restroom during break time, he caught his breath with difficulty because he wanted to beat Aldrich up immediately but had to restrain herself. Especially the few times Berthan had maltreated him in front of others, he hated being considered useless. "How did he get an invitation and come here? He must be using some kind of trick, and if I humiliate him in front of the crowd, he won't be able to appear again." Jake was thinking about how he could get revenge and thought this was his chance to act up so that he would get be
