Certainly, Zofia’s prohibition took everyone by surprise. It was forbidden for anyone to touch Christian, especially Yve, who was Christian’s wife.Even Yve was shocked when she heard it. She stood frozen like a statue, not moving an inch.Seeing Yve like that, Christian felt uneasy. He intended to release his hand from Zofia’s grip.But after that happened...“You’re not allowed to touch Christian’s stomach, face, and left hand. Those parts are injured. Just hold his right hand. Lead him into the room,” Zofia said with a smile.Upon hearing Zofia’s words, everyone seemed relieved. Even Yve, who was about to explode, transformed into a smile.Yve took a step forward and reached for Christian’s right hand, saying, “Thank you, Zofia, for letting me know. I’ll be careful with that part so that Christian doesn’t feel pain.”Zofia waved her hand, saying, “No need to thank me; I’m just informing.”Yve nodded. Then she raised her head to look at Christian’s bruised and bleeding face.Without
John gazed at Camila with a soft expression, a stark contrast to his background as a mafia figure.“You claim to be the leader of the East New York Southern region and directly under Darrell, right? Can you send guards for me? Later, I will inform Christian to seek permission. You and Darrell are under Christian’s control, aren’t you?” Camila asked, her raised eyebrows conveying curiosity.John smiled widely upon hearing this. Then he said, “Certainly, Madame. I will be your personal guard; it won’t be a problem.”“All right, then. I will inform Christian first,” Camila said, holding back her facial expression to remain composed.She closed the car door and drove back to her house.John turned around and walked back into the hotel with a cheerful feeling. When he reached the hotel lobby’s entrance, he was surprised to see Alex standing there.“What are you doing, John?” Alex asked.John furrowed his brow at Alex’s question. Then he asked, “What did I do? Is there something wrong with
The commotion outside the house immediately drew the attention of the other guards, prompting them to run and see what was happening.Soon, Leone was seen walking into the house grounds.“Wait a moment! You’re not allowed to enter!” exclaimed a short-haired guard with a tan complexion.Leone took a deep breath and then said, “I don’t want any trouble. It’s better if you inform Master Lee that Chairman Leone wishes to meet him.”The three guards exchanged glances briefly to gauge each other’s opinions.“I can’t just meet Master Lee to pass on the message that you want to meet him. Provide a more specific reason for Master Lee to agree to see you,” said the short-haired man.Leone just stared sharply into the man’s eyes without uttering a single word.Apparently, Leone’s intense gaze successfully instilled fear in all three guards, especially after seeing Rhys lying on the ground.Then, a man entered the house to meet Master Lee.As he entered, Master Lee was walking out of his room.“W
On several occasions, Christian exhibited a stubborn attitude, especially when it came to matters he considered crucial, including the current issue. He disregarded advice from Yve.Christian turned to Darrell and said, “Prepare the car for me, will you?”“Ready to execute, Sir,” replied Darrell.Christian then changed into a white T-shirt and jeans. He turned to Yve and said, “I’ll go through the files for a moment.”Yve didn’t respond. She chose to sit on the playroom sofa with her phone.Christian glanced for a moment before continuing his intention to go to Master Lee’s house.Christian wasn’t accompanied by many guards. Only two cars departed for Master Lee’s house.This journey took longer due to traffic congestion, and they arrived after 150 minutes of travel.Christian’s car door was opened by his subordinate, and he hurriedly entered the house. When he entered the house gate, he was surprised to see Lee sitting in the backyard chair.“Christian!”“Master Lee, how are you?”Le
Zofia, upon hearing Mother Anika’s angry outburst, immediately glanced at Yve to see the change in expression on her face.Yve said, “I already forbade him, Mother. But he wouldn’t listen to me, even though I explained to him and even ignored him. But he still left.”Anika held her forehead, deeply worried about Christian’s safety. The bond between them was incredibly strong, like that of a mother and her biological child.“Can’t you stop him using a method he likes? You have a body, just use it to prevent him from leaving. Use a little bit of your intelligence,” said Anika, her tone becoming softer and gentler.Now Yve felt what Christian felt when scolded, insulted, and belittled by his own mother.“Sorry, Mother, I was wrong!” Yve said, her voice restrained as she held back tears.After that, Anika turned away and left the room without saying a word.Zofia fell silent for a moment as she watched her mother leave the room and then turned to Yve, whose face looked very sad.She appro
At a time when everyone was confused and had no idea how to overcome this, suddenly Leone said he had a solution. Of course, this surprised and intrigued everyone about the plan Leone had in mind.All waited for Leone’s answers to the questions in their hearts.“I will contact the Minister of Defense and ask him to mediate in this matter. As the highest leader in the country in the military field, he should be able to persuade Master Lee to disband his association again. Or at least not interfere with us and only be a city association that will still be under our influence,” explained Leone.The members present looked at each other. Some felt it was a brilliant idea, but others doubted if it would work well. Antonio, including one who had doubts.“Can the Minister of Defense help? Even though he is the highest leader in the military, it’s just on paper. The ultimate leader is still a War God. He may be just a two-star general, but the entire military fully supports him, including the
Larina, sitting on the living room sofa in her house, was lost in thought for a moment. She still couldn’t believe that Yve had a new company as big as World Tech Company.“Why did Yve acquire so much wealth so quickly? Even in a short time, she already owns two large companies. Usually, normal people or even conglomerates won’t be able to acquire two companies with assets in the hundreds of billions so quickly. Surely, this is because of the help of the Protector,” Larina mumbled.Then, she contacted Marigold via a voice call to share this important news.“Hello, Mom, I have important news about Yve,” Larina said when her voice call was answered by Marigold.“What important news? Is Yve not coming home?” Marigold asked.Shaking her head, Larina said, “It’s not about that, Mom. It’s about Yve having another asset. She has a new company called World Tech Company. It’s impressive, isn’t it?”Of course, Marigold was shocked to the point of almost screaming, “What? Yve has a new company?”
It was a normal reaction for Larina to be surprised, akin to seeing a ghost, upon learning that Christian had gifted the World Tech Company to Yve.From any angle, it had never been seen or imagined that a man like Christian could acquire a company of this magnitude. Yes, and one fundamental question arose: where did he get the money?However, Yve responded casually, nodding her head while saying, “Yes, he gave me this company. Don’t ask how he could buy it because Blake Skylark, who directly handed the company to Christian, never disclosed how my husband managed to acquire it.”Larina still seemed incredulous at what was being said.“To be honest, I’m not too concerned about how Christian bought the company, whether it was in cash, on credit, or through other means. What matters to me is that the company is now officially in my name,” Yve concluded, putting an end to the discussion about Christian giving her the company.Larina then nodded in agreement, acknowledging that what matter
