After saying that, Christian felt awkward. Then, he gave a bitter smile while glancing shyly at Zofia.
As for Zofia, even though she was touched, she didn’t react too much to it. She knew that what Christian said was just a spontaneous remark, nothing more. She was aware that Christian would not share his heart with another woman.
“Mr. Demetri, I know that you are indeed a very kind person. But there are some things you can’t meddle with. So, don’t worry about it, and don’t concern yourself with this matter,” Zofia said with a very soft tone, looking at Christian and smiling.
But that smile was just a facade. The corners of her mouth seemed forced, and her gaze appeared different.
“But you and...” Christian didn’t finish his sentence. He looked hesitant to say it.
Zofia quickly responded, “Don’t worry, my father cares a lot about me. Maybe he was a little upset when he saw those phot
Yve and Camila seemed to have received news about the death of someone close to them, leaving both of them shocked and shattered.Is it appropriate for a family leader to seek compensation for the misfortune suffered by the family business from their own family members?Many families out there support each other, but in the De Delta family, it was almost similar to what happened in the Kowalska family, where they pressed and destroyed each other.“Mom... should Mom ask for compensation from Yve? It’s not her fault; it’s Christian’s fault. That scoundrel brought this disaster upon us. Even Yve’s company is affected by it,” Camila said, looking confused and panicked.Marigold nodded. Then she said, “I know we’re family. And I also know that you all understand the concept of business. In business, there’s no such thing as family; it’s business. Because Christian is Yve’s husband, I will ask Yve to take responsibility. I can’t ask Christian; he probably doesn’t have any money. He can’t ev
Orion understood that heartache could make someone uncontrollable and difficult to heal.If Yve’s heart was jealous of Lyka, her mind would surely be in chaos too. The situation inside the house was bound to heat up and make them uncomfortable. With conditions like this, it would be difficult for Yve to focus on her business and difficult to progress.The atmosphere became silent. If you observed, Yve’s facial expression changed. Her face turned red, and her thoughts seemed confused.Yve took a deep breath. Then she asked, “I will pay compensation as you wish, but give me time to pay it.”Orion glanced at the grandmother with a happy face.“I’ll wait, but not for long. The company’s losses must be covered soon,” said Marigold.Yve nodded, saying, “I’ll do my best. If that’s the case, you can leave my house now because there is nothing else to discuss.”Camila immediately turned harshly towards Yve. She did not expect her eldest daughter to kick out Marigold and Orion.Orion and Marigo
After ending the voice call, Christian immediately turned to Zofia. Then he said, “Ms. Zofia, rest in this hotel for tonight or perhaps for the next few nights if you wish. I will inform Mr. Louis to take care of all your needs and keep an eye on you.”Zofia furrowed her brow. Then she asked, “Mr. Demetri, where are you going? Is there a problem? It seems from your expression that something very important is happening.”“Not a serious problem,” Christian replied.Zofia didn’t ask further. She just nodded her head.But now, Darrell appeared worried. He could see from Christian’s facial expression that his boss was dealing with a rather complicated issue, contrary to what he had mentioned earlier.“Mr. Demetri, I and the team will accompany you,” Darrell said, standing up.Hearing Darrell’s words, Alex and John also stood up. They were ready to accompany Christian wherever the boss went.Christian waved his hand and said, “No need, Darrell. I will go alone. You can stay here with Ms. Zo
When Christian arrived, everyone was astonished. They had chosen that place to execute a woman because it was the darkest spot. No one had ever dared to pass through it at night, and they never expected anyone to come.The man guarding his master, who was enjoying a woman’s company, fell silent for a moment, then composed himself. Sharply, he stared at Christian, “How dare you interrupt Master Enzo’s affairs! Tired of living, are you? Leave quickly!”A man named Enzo continued what he was doing to the beautiful woman, even tearing her clothes now.The four burly guards stepped forward to block and drive away Christian.“Don’t you hear? Leave if you don’t want to die!” shouted a guard with an old-school haircut.“Please, save me! My name is Claudia, please save—” Before she could finish speaking, the woman’s mouth was sealed by Enzo using his lips.No one dared to oppose that area, even the streetlights were quite far, leaving only dim light from the moon.With such minimal light, the
This offer indeed sounded advantageous to Christian, according to Claudia. With the high payment offered by the woman, Claudia was quite confident.However, if she knew the truth, Claudia would surely be embarrassed for offering that job to Christian.“Sorry, Claudia, but I already have a job,” Christian declined politely.“Oh, it’s okay. You can be my bodyguard after work. Besides, most of the job offers come to me at night. I’ll pay you 50 million per month, how about that?” Claudia tried to persuade Christian to accept the job.Besides needing a bodyguard, her offer to Christian was also a way of expressing gratitude. She didn’t want to offend someone by giving money directly; instead, she preferred to offer a job.But... Christian couldn’t accept the job. He had to focus on the Pommes Frites project. Moreover, he didn’t want to create any misunderstandings with Yve. His issues with Dorota had just been resolved, and now he was troubled by rumors of an affair between him and Lyka.
Darrell nodded. Then he said, “Let them be confused. If they’re observant, they’ll know that it’s you who gave it. The crucial thing now is to quickly and properly resolve Miss Yve’s issue, and Mr. Demetri’s identity will remain secure.”“If that’s the case, give this task to your subordinates. Maybe John can handle it. That way, my identity becomes even more ambiguous in the eyes of the De Delta family and Yve,” Christian suggested.“All right then, Sir. I will contact John and ask him to deliver the money to Miss Yve,” Darrell replied.Christian nodded. He then picked up the office phone and called Dorota to come into the room.Shortly after, Dorota entered the room. Very politely, she asked, “Excuse me, Mr. Demetri, is there anything I can help with?”“Oh yes, please fetch a check and write the amount of 10 billion on it,” Christian instructed.“10 billion? What is it for, sir? Why do you need such a large amount?” Dorota inquired.She was indeed more critical than Darrell. She alw
Quickly, John turned his body around, staring sharply into Belinda’s eyes.“What did you say?” John asked. His voice was sharp, and his eyes carried a sense of dread.Belinda felt a murderous aura emanating from John’s body, making her scared. However, she managed to conceal her fear quite well.“I think you heard it quite well. So stop pretending not to hear and understand what I’m saying,” Belinda said. “I also believe that you’re clever enough to understand my words.”After saying that, Belinda turned around and walked into the office.John put both of his hands in his pockets and stared at Belinda’s back until she was out of sight.Then he turned around, stepped into his car, started the engine, and drove towards Christian’s office to deliver the task report and Belinda’s message.It didn’t take long for John to arrive at the CrispCrafter Ltd. company building. He headed straight to Christian’s room without reporting to the receptionist.“Mrs. Dorota, is Mr. Demetri inside?” John
Christian pressed both of Belinda’s shoulders until the woman was pinned against the wall, unable to move.The aura emanating from the man was truly terrifying. If not controlled, he might break the boundaries he had set for himself about never hitting a woman.Belinda was clearly terrified of Christian at this moment. However, she had to reconsider the consequences of what she had done so far. She also had to think about her mother’s treatment and her child.The 200 million she asked from Christian as payment for her silence would be used for her mother’s medical expenses and her child’s education.Although she knew what she was doing was wrong, for now, she felt there was no better option.Summoning her courage, Belinda said, “What do you want? Want to get physical with me? Go ahead. But you should know that if you do, you have to be ready to face the consequences. Because my mouth will never be silenced again.”Christian now pressed Belinda’s jaw hard enough to make the woman’s low
