The two men stared at Claude. They looked at each other for a while. "So you want to be a hero? But he still has to pay those flowers." The bald-headed man looked at Claude with bated breath. He was still in excruciating pain as Claude managed to deliver many blows to him. Both men did not even know why the old man still had the extra strength to beat him up. The man with blonde hair also held his sore hand. Then he spoke, "It doesn't matter if we can't get it now, but we will, of course, still get it later." He emphasized. Of course, he wasn't going to just let Brian go. He had so much interest to pay, and of course, they would never listen to Claude. They would still collect. "I will also ask for compensation for everything your friend has done." The blonde-haired man gave Brian a sharp look. He was making threats. Brian became even more panicked. He looked at Claude. Then he exhaled heavily. Brian couldn't blame Claude for this at all. He knew that Claude did all that just to
Claude was still in his old man disguise. He had just come out of the restaurant and parted ways with Brian. Afterward, he went back to the city center to observe the surroundings.Claude had just sat down on a chair on the side of the road. His gaze was fixed on a few passing cars, and then he scanned the building where Brandon's company was located, but there was no sign of Brandon back at the company.Suddenly her cell phone rang, she immediately took her cell phone which was in the pocket of the coat she was wearing. Then, he saw an incoming call from Olivia.Claude looked around before he finally answered Olivia's call. "Do you need anything, olivia?" Claude was still disguising his voice. Many people were around him, and he didn't want them to feel suspicious of him.Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Olivia frowned. She felt that there was something different about Claude's voice. A voice that was quieter and slightly trembling."Claude, why does your voice seem strange?
"What is it? Why did Mr. Claude come unannounced? But I'm sure there is something important." Marco muttered in his stride.Marco quickened his pace. Although he still seemed confused by the presence of Mr. Claude, who seemed to come suddenly, he wanted to see him immediately. Usually, something like this never happened. If Mr. Claude was coming, one of his servants would come and tell him about it beforehand to give a welcome or make preparations. But this was too sudden, which made Marco's heart beat fast. Even his palms began to break out in cold sweat.Marco had just gotten out of the elevator. This would be an important meeting because he would meet the head of a huge family. And his heart was beating even faster."I should prepare myself. But I'm sure I'm still presentable. It's just that I'm confused. Why did Mr. Claude come so suddenly? What's going on? This is strange." Marco muttered to himself as he walked towards the information center ahead. But he did not see anyone ther
Claude let out his breath. There was a specific reason why he wanted Marco to work with the Pretana Company. It was Brandon's company."There is something that I have prepared. I already have a plan. And you must do it immediately to cooperate with Pretana. I don't think it's a difficult thing." Claude looked at Marco sternly.Marco still lowered his gaze until, upon hearing Claude's words, he slightly raised his face. "Of course, I will do it immediately. I will immediately prepare the documents and files that may be related to it. I will also immediately ask the secretary to prepare everything. After that, I will immediately come in person and carry out the cooperation, sir." Marco gave his consent. He even spoke very obediently.Claude nodded. He tapped his fingers on the side of the sofa. Right now, he wasn't acting like the old man he had previously portrayed. But he was like the original Mr. Claude, only his face looked older."You must keep that in mind if no one is to find out
Claude stepped out slowly. An old man lying on a bed turned his head, noticing the presence of someone coming."Claude?" The old man called out Claude's name.Claude continued to walk closer. His steps stopped when he was right next to the luxurious white bed.Claude looked up at the old man. He watched him and found that the old man's face was ashen. He was Smith Dracena."How is grandfather?" Claude asked in a low voice. He was acting casual, though he wasn't quite happy to see that his grandfather's condition had worsened considerably.He remembered Bruce's words, and at this time, Claude saw his grandfather's poor condition...A coughing sound was heard. The old man seemed to clutch his chest weakly while several devices were attached to his nose and other limbs."Claude?" The voice sounded weak.Claude sat beside him. Claude let out his breath when he saw his grandfather nearby. His grandfather's body was frail."How is grandfather?" Claude asked again.Smith didn't answer. But t
They had just arrived at the Dracena family's private airport. Several planes were lined up there.Wendy seemed to smile. His eyes widened when he saw Dracena's name displayed on every plane there. He turned to look at Claude. Then held Claude's hand happily. “Claude, is this ours?”Wendy looked at him and waited for an answer. Until Claude turned to look at his mother and held her hand. He nodded. “Mother is right. This belongs to the Dracena family.”“Are we going on one of these planes?” Wendy asked again. He looked at Claude's face more closely.“Of course, mother. Come on." Claude invited his mother and Olivia to immediately go to the helicopter that had been prepared by his men.Several bodyguards wearing all black immediately bowed when Claude and his mistresses passed them to get into the helicopter.There, Olivia and Wendy seemed unable to control their happiness until they kept smiling. Wendy and Olivia sat side by side, while Claude sat in front of them. This looks like a l
Claude dismounted from his horse. Likewise, Claude helped his mother get off the same horse. On the other hand, Olivia chose to get off by herself because she was good enough at horseback that it wouldn't be difficult for her to get off alone.Claude approached Brandon, who was staring at him. The man wearing a black shirt looked at Claude with a smile. Meanwhile, Claude looked at him with a cold look. "How come you're here, Mr. Brandon?" Claude questioned the man who was suddenly here. Claude looked around. This was a pine forest, and he had come alone. That was something that seemed strange. Claude looked at Brandon with a probing gaze. The man smiled back at Claude. "Mr. Claude, I'm here because I have something to do. Did you know that?" Brandon stopped what he was saying. He pointed down the street. "That's a village, and I've been in that village since yesterday."Claude looked at the street Brandon was pointing at. It was true that it was a road leading to a small village. A
They had now returned to Dracena's main house. It was Olivia who was spending time with her mother and mother-in-law. The three of them sat in the living room, enjoying the tea provided by the servant. Olivia just sipped her tea carefully, then she looked at her two mothers sitting close to each other. She smiled and said, "I'm glad we can be together here." Olivia looked at her in turn. Wendy and Anne also smiled at Olivia's words. There, Wendy rubbed Olivia's arm in front of her. Then she said, "I am also happy to be together. This is something I never imagined before. To be able to gather with a beautiful daughter-in-law like you." Anne smiled. She looked at Wendy. "I am also happy to have a son-in-law like Claude. He is not only a handsome man but also a wonderful man. In fact, he can protect Olivia very well." Anne did not hesitate to praise Claude. She unhesitatingly boasted about Claude before Olivia and Wendy because she was very proud to have a son-in-law like Claude, wh
