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
“Do you also believe that I am the owner of the Bluemoon Club?” Christian asked without looking at Yve’s face.The woman took a step, trying to catch a butterfly perched on the ground. For some reason, the butterfly suddenly stayed still on the ground like that. Perhaps the butterfly wanted to witness the conversation between these two individuals.However, when Yve squatted down to catch the black-patterned yellow butterfly, it flew away.Then, Yve stood up again and said, “Yes, I was suspicious of you the first time. That’s because you have the same name as the owner of the Bluemoon Club. But after thinking about it, if you were the owner of the Bluemoon Club, you wouldn’t just stay silent when insulted by people. You must have given me anything, or at least you would have had many young women.”“Hahaha... you can see things more realistically, huh?” Christian said, laughing.“I’m just judging what I see,” Yve replied.Then, Yve sat back on the long iron chair, and Christian followe
Gideon was furious, although what happened to him was due to his own actions.His subordinate watched as his boss fell, becoming enraged. The tall, hefty man immediately grabbed the shirt worn by Christian.“You’re really asking for trouble! How dare you push Mr. Gideon!” growled the tall man.He then unleashed a punch aimed at Christian’s face. But quickly, Christian evaded it by bending down.The tall man surprisingly had good reflexes. Seeing an opportunity to attack as Christian bent down, he lifted his knee forcefully, attempting to kick Christian with it.Yet again, Christian managed to break the attack. The man blocked the knee kick from his opponent with both hands placed in front of his face.Seizing the moment, Christian used his right leg to kick Gideon’s henchman’s left leg.The force of Christian’s kick was so strong that it made the man fall.Witnessing his henchman defeated by Christian, Gideon became furious. He intended to step forward and attack Christian.Even thoug
Christian immediately turned towards the old man with an astonished expression on his face.“How can you know so precisely that he will lose in just 3 attacks?” Christian asked, puzzled.Although Christian had proficient martial arts skills, it was clear that details like these were beyond his perception. This was one of the reasons why Christian needed to deepen his martial arts knowledge.“That’s easy. I can see if someone is very strong or very weak with just one glance. And I believe you can also fight against that guy. I’m sure you’ll win,” the old man said.Christian furrowed his brow and said, “Against the guy in the red pants? From his fighting style, I’m confident I can beat him too.”“No! The one in black pants, you can fight him, and I’m sure you’ll win,” the old man stated.Christian did not respond to the old man’s words. He was unsure how to react.And now, the second fight was about to begin.This fight was between two Level A, 9-star fighters. The winner of this match
Christian certainly knew Gideon. Before he entered the arena, he had clashed with the young man. However, Christian had never encountered the three individuals standing beside Gideon.In this situation, Christian didn’t want to interfere as Gideon and his three friends came to meet Claudia. Christian simply remained seated, observing them.On Gideon’s left was Ryker, and on his right stood a middle-aged man around 40. This man had a large physique, three times the size of an average person. He was Hiroshi. And next to Hiroshi was Dante, the S-level fighter who was about to engage in a match.The match was apparently postponed to prepare for the fighters’ needs, solely for Dante to meet Claudia.Gideon, their leader, stepped towards Claudia. The man then smiled and said, “Claudia, your performance earlier was outstanding. Many people praised me, saying that inviting you to sing here was the right choice. You are truly remarkable.”“Oh, Mr. Gideon is too generous with his praise. I just
