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
Perhaps it was justifiable for Yve to feel a bit offended by what Christian said. However, she later regretted raising her voice when she realized her husband’s good intentions.“Sorry Christian, it’s not my intention to defend my family members. I’m also aware that my family has been excessively wicked, not only to you but also to me, Mom, and Lyka. But when I see a family member in distress and asking for help from me, when I can, why not? Besides, he has been good to us, only on a few occasions has he behaved poorly,” Yve explained her intention.Christian nodded and then sat on the edge of Yve’s work desk. Then he said, “I understand what you mean. I’m not preventing you from helping your family members, I just question why you gave Aunt Larina such a high position. Is she competent to serve as a director? We all know the highest position she ever held was just a general manager.”Yve leaned back in her chair a bit to look at Christian more comfortably.“Christian, maybe you forge
Orion couldn’t let the reality stand that Christian could be better than him. Therefore, as much as possible, he had to bring Christian back to where he belonged.The only way for now was to leverage his closeness with Ambrose Demetri to throw Christian out of his position as the leader of CrispCrafter LTD. USA, a position that had helped him soar high.“Christian gave a company to his wife?” Ambrose repeated the information provided by Orion.It sounded from his tone as if Ambrose wasn’t very surprised.Well, how could he be surprised when he personally knew the extent of Christian’s wealth, the result of the Carlos Demetri inheritance.“Yes, that’s true. Where else does he have money other than through corruption? You have to convince all the leaders of Big Consortium Corp. to fire Christian. I’m saying this because I care about someone as good as you. If you and your family continue to be eroded, your wealth will surely be depleted. Pay attention to that!” Orion tried to convince A
What preoccupied Altus was not money, but the consequences of completing the mission. He didn’t want to be blamed by other members of the Demetri family for taking a job to attend to Ambrose and Reginald’s personal interests.Ambrose, growing impatient, sought an answer from Altus. He decided to use his voice again, “How about it? This is an order from Uncle Reginald; you know his position in the family is the second-highest after Uncle Carlos. And now, Uncle Carlos is seriously ill, so leadership is in Uncle Reginald’s hands. Don’t you want to accept a mission from a leader of the Demetri Family?”Hearing Ambrose’s words, Altus finally decided to accept the mission.“Alright, Mr. Ambrose, I’ll take this job. When do I leave for USA?”“As soon as possible. Maybe in 3 days.”“Alright then.”Altus was now determined to accept the job given by Reginald and Ambrose.***It was late afternoon, and Christian returned to the Diamond Hotel to rest. Initially, he planned to pick up Yve, but hi
