"Hello, Blaire? What's up, are you okay?" asked Javier when he picked up the phone from his wife. He knew that Blaire was at the Watsons' house so he was a little worried about his wife."Jav, I'm fine. But I have some news," Blaire replied in a hushed voice. She was in the bathroom avoiding her family.Hearing that, Javier knew what news Blaire was going to tell him. He knew that this news was about Albert and his family, Javier secretly smiled, he could guess that the Watsons were now confused because their plans were not going smoothly."Is this about Mr. Albert?" Blaire was surprised that Javier already knew."That's right! How did you know?" Hearing Blaire's question, Javier realized that he should have pretended not to know. Blaire must be suspicious but Javier tried to think of a plausible answer to his wife's question."About that... you know I work at Ford Group now, right? So I know about the news." Javier felt like letting out a sigh of relief that he'd managed to come up w
"I should have married you off to a rich man quickly before you fell into Javier's trap and married him," her mother said while massaging her head and still talking about Blaire."You should have married a rich man who would have helped our company get ahead in the business world! Our family has hit rock bottom since you married Javier." Her mother raised her tone as if blaming Blaire for everything that happened. Blaire sighed, they were back to making her feel cornered here."Mom, stop it," Blaire retorted. She no longer felt angry, she felt sad."I won't stop until you stop destroying our family like this." Her mom snorted and seemed unconcerned even though Blaire looked sad."Don't you see your sisters and cousins marrying rich men? Aren't you ashamed, Blaire?" her mother asked and Bella who was sitting next to her mother was already smiling proudly."Why should I be ashamed?" Blaire replied with another question."Of course because you married a poor man! Unlike me who married a r
Javier woke up to find Blaire still beside him. He knew that his wife was tired, so Javier didn't wake her up because this was something that rarely happened, as Blaire usually woke up earlier than him."She must be tired after being at the Watsons' house all day yesterday," Javier muttered as he stroked his wife's hair and smiled."I'll let her sleep a little longer." Slowly, Javier removed his hand from Blaire's head and got out of bed. Just as he was about to walk away, his cell phone suddenly rang and woke Blaire from his slumber."Javier, are you awake?" asked Blaire, making Javier immediately look at his wife."Yes, I just woke up. The phone must have woken you up, you can go back to sleep if you want." But Blaire shook her head because it was already noon and she hadn't made breakfast for herself and Javier."Go back to sleep, Blaire. I'm off today so you don't have to get up and make me breakfast," Javier said as if he could read Blaire's mind, he picked up his cell phone whic
20 minutes later, they arrived at the Watsons' house. There were several cars parked in front of the house, and they knew that today at the Watsons' house there were not only Anne and Bella, but also Blaire's father and older brother.Javier and Blaire stepped into the house and as they walked to the dining room, the entire Watsons family was gathered there. Everyone was busy talking to each other, but when they heard the sound of footsteps coming into the dining room and saw Blaire's arrival with Javier, they instantly fell silent.Their stares were still the same, Javier knew that they didn't like him being here. But for his wife's sake, Javier smiled and was polite to them."What are you two doing here? How shameless..." Bella quipped as she ate her food. Everyone else continued eating their lunch, as if agreeing with what Bella said. "Hello good afternoon, mom and dad. We must have interrupted your lunch," Javier said, still trying to be friendly to them."That you already know.
"He must be crazy, he has the nerve to yell at dad like that," Bella said. All the Watsons were standing and watching Javier and Bobby's fight."I will make you die if you dare to yell at my father again!" Javier knew very well that his brother-in-law was just a coward, he was brave because here were his father and mother and he wanted to be seen as a great son in front of them."I'm disappointed in you, Javier. Don't you remember who raised you and kept you alive until now?" asked Bastian, he was acting like the victim here. He was the one who treated his daughter badly."That's right, you raised me but you did this after taking all my family's wealth and acting like a savior," Javier muttered, talking to himself because he couldn't say that he knew the truth yet."What did I say, right? He'll be rude because he's from the lower class," Anne says as she stands beside her husband. She held Bastian's arm and gave Javier a disgusted look."In case you've forgotten, I'm the son of the mo
Everyone went to the living room, where they all sat on the sofa and turned on the television. Only Blaire and Javier stood behind them, and Blaire kept hugging Javier because he was afraid of the outcome of the announcement."I can already guess the results," Bella said suddenly as she glared at Blaire and Javier."Right, I know it too," Anne replied with a sigh, still visibly upset. "But who will win the bid? Is it possible... Joseph Group? They are also eyeing the contract from Ford Group, right?" Now Bobby spoke and everyone there nodded their heads in agreement with Bobby's words."That's right, it's likely that Joseph Group will get it. We should have submitted the name of the company too, instead of letting one person submit their own bid," said Bastian, deliberately insinuating Blaire who looked increasingly gloomy. Javier could only smile silently at the Watsons' conversation.Suddenly, a man Javier now recognized appeared on the television screen. Jay, his secretary was al
Everyone was shocked, including Anne, she had made a deal with Javier and thought this was impossible, she was so sure of it. Until the announcement was made and Blaire was one of the candidates."This is absolutely crazy! How can Blaire be chosen?" Bella shouted, all of her family were in shock with the announcement and couldn't believe it."Blaire, did you do something? Or do you know the new CEO?" asked Bastian and Blaire shook her head vigorously."I-I don't know, dad. I don't know the new CEO of Ford Group, I haven't even worked since two years ago," Blaire replied, excited but also nervous. She knew that her family was surprised and not too happy about this."Or do you know someone from there?" Now Anne asked and Blaire shook her head again."I don't know anyone..." Blaire remembered the man next to her and immediately looked at Javier."I only know Javier who works there," Blaire continued speaking."Jav, did you know about this? Do you know why they chose me to be one of the c
They arrived home and Blaire said that she would prepare dinner for the two of them. Javier, who had just finished showering, came out of their room and went to the kitchen to help his wife. Javier stopped walking when he saw Blaire busy humming and smiling, his wife looked very happy."She's probably very happy with the election results, it's been a long time since I've seen her like this," Javier muttered with a smile. He was happy to see his happy wife."But she must still feel sad that her family isn't happy about it." Javier thought for a while, he continued to stare at Blaire who seemed to be washing the vegetables he was going to cook. Until suddenly an idea popped into his brain, he had to do something to make his wife happier and forget his sadness about the Watsons' reaction."I haven't given Blaire anything after becoming a CEO either." Javier walked away and went back to his room. He picked up his cell phone and called Jay."Hello, good evening sir," Jay said as he picked
