Facing a question like that, Darrell had to think carefully. A wrong answer could jeopardize Yve’s chances of receiving a gift from Mr. Demetri. And that would undoubtedly create a big problem if it were to happen.“What that person said is entirely baseless, Miss,” Darrell replied.He then shifted his gaze to the old man who had been talking a lot.“I warn you to watch your mouth. If you have evidence that Miss Yve has destroyed the stock prices of TV 8 Company, please show it to me. If you can’t, I will drag you to jail!” Darrell said, earnestly.His eyes stared sharply at the old man. At this moment, he really wanted to tear the old man’s mouth apart and cut off his tongue so he couldn’t speak again.“It’s all clear when Yvette De Delta bought TV 8 Company’s shares on the stock exchange; the stock prices skyrocketed immediately. But it didn’t last long. When Yvette De Delta sold her shares back at a high price, the value of TV 8 Company’s stocks plummeted instantly. That’s clear ev
Mateusz was shocked to hear that the person who killed Baltazar was Mr. Demetri. He knew exactly who that person was. The confrontation with Christian at the Dimond Hotel had revealed the true identity of the man as Mr. Demetri.And now, boldly, he had provoked Mr. Demetri by creating a product derived from stealing Pommes Frites’ secret ingredients. Mr. Demetri was on the move, and Baltazar’s death served as a dangerous warning for Mateusz.“You can’t be serious, Daniel! There’s no way Mr. Demetri could kill someone like Baltazar!” Mateusz refused to believe.Daniel raised both hands, saying, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. But I trust it. My men wouldn’t lie to me.”“But....” Mateusz remembered something. He realized that what Daniel said about Baltazar being killed by Mr. Demetri could be true. When he and his father clashed with Christian some time ago, Mr. Demetri was supported by John and Alex, two powerful mafia figures in East New York.Mateusz then sat on a single sofa, l
The concern expressed by Hendrix was understandable to Reginald. In reality, he shared the same worries, especially about the family leadership.Reginald was excessively obsessed with becoming the leader of the Demetri family. Of course, who wouldn’t want to be the head of a family like the Demetri family, capable of buying the entire world?Even Hendrix and Ambrose desired the position, but they both remained realistic because, at the moment, Reginald had the second-highest support after Carlos within the Demetri family.“Hendrix, there’s something you can’t see, and I can see it clearly. So, in my opinion, it’s better if you just follow what I say. At the right time, the Demetri family will fall into our hands. But before we get there, you have to be patient,” Reginald said wisely.After hearing Reginald’s words, Hendrix couldn’t say anything. He knew his cousin had made a decision, and there was no one else who could challenge his authority.Reginald then turned to Ambrose, saying,
The desire within both of them continued to intensify. In fact, they found it increasingly difficult to control their respective desires.Christian seemed to forget the promise he made to himself not to touch any woman other than Yve. All because of his overwhelming desire.Zofia, too, got carried away with what Christian was doing. She just accepted her body being touched by her business partner without any effort to refuse. Yes, just like Christian, due to her peaking desire.Slowly, Zofia lowered her face closer to Christian. As their lips were about to touch, accidentally, Zofia’s foot touched Christian’s injured leg.“Aaww!” Christian shouted in pain.Zofia immediately stood up, saying, “Eh, what happened?”“My bandage got pressed by your foot. Ouch, it hurts!” Christian said, pointing to his bandaged calf.“Oops, sorry, I didn’t know. Does it hurt?” Zofia held Christian’s leg while looking at the wound on his business partner’s calf.“Of course, it hurts. It was just stitched, n
No one understood Orion’s intentions.Why should they punish Yve if they wanted to take advantage of her?At least that’s what Marigold and Alaric had in mind.“So, what I mean is that we spread the news about this affair to the public. Once it’s out, there will surely be a lot of criticism from society, which will undoubtedly make Yve embarrassed and pressured. Her relationship with Christian will surely become complicated. Now, at that moment, we step in to offer support to Yve. That way, she will surely be touched by us. And after that happens, she will definitely repay the favor,” explained Orion.The man rumored to be the future leader of the De Delta family smiled broadly after outlining his plan, which he considered quite brilliant.“Oh, so you mean we will use Yve, but she won’t feel used and burdened by us, right?” asked Marigold.Orion nodded, saying, “Exactly, and she will willingly help us.”Alaric still felt that the idea was not good and would only create problems for th
Outside the CEO’s office, Belinda tried to reach Christian. However, her repeated calls went unanswered, even though she had attempted to contact Christian more than 10 times.Thinking that only Christian could help Yve solve her problems, Belinda decided to meet him at the CrispCrafter Ltd. company office.Upon arriving there, Belinda learned that Christian hadn’t come to work because he was still ill.After obtaining Christian’s home address, Belinda headed straight to the Diamond Hotel without wasting any time.It didn’t take long for Belinda to be in front of the Diamond Hotel lobby.As she entered the hotel, she spotted Alex sitting on the lobby sofa, engrossed in his phone.Belinda recognized him because Alex used to be a security guard at the Bluemoon Club, and they were quite familiar with each other.“Hi Alex, how are you?” greeted Belinda.Alex immediately turned to face Belinda, surprised to see the beautiful woman he hadn’t seen in a long time.“Oh, Belinda. I’m good. How
This is what Belinda had hoped for when she daringly approached Christian. The anger and determination from the man to protect and save Yve’s reputation were crucial in this situation.Belinda smiled as she said, “You must be able to save Yve’s reputation. Even though I’ve only just met her, I realize that Yve is a good person. She trusts me a lot to be her personal assistant, despite my many flaws.”Christian turned to face Belinda and said, “You don’t need to worry. I will save my wife’s reputation by catching the person who has slandered her.”***Yve’s phone rang. When the owner saw who was calling, Yve’s sad expression suddenly turned into one of confusion.Of course, Yve was immediately puzzled because the person calling was Marigold.However, the confusion lasted only a few seconds because she could already guess what the old woman would talk about. That is, berating and blaming her for the news of her alleged affair that had spread rapidly.At first, Yve didn’t want to answer
Yve didn’t expect Christian to believe the rumors that were spreading. Her heart immediately ached upon hearing it.If Christian truly believed that Yve was the mistress of The Protector and Yve felt disappointed, what about her disbelief in Christian’s relationship with Lyka? Didn’t Christian already explain that there was no connection other than being in-laws? Why wouldn’t she believe that?“No, that’s not what I meant,” Christian tried to explain.“You not only think that way, but you also say it clearly. I never thought that’s how you saw me. I’m really disappointed in you!” He shook his head vigorously and quickly. Then she said, “Where did I say that? I even stopped talking before uttering a word. How can you say I said it clearly?”“Oh, what an excuse! That’s what you wanted to say, right? Just admit it!” Yve said with a sarcastic tone.The woman stood up. Then suddenly...“Aargghh!”Yve screamed loudly to release the burden on her mind and vent her anger.She no longer cared
