Lyka felt as though she had entered another dimension, rendering her unable to see or hear anything. This lasted for a few seconds.Until...“Lyka!” Camila pulled Lyka’s hand, snapping the young woman out of it.“Oh, Mom, you scared me!” Lyka protested.“Well, you’ve been called several times. What were you daydreaming about? What’s on your mind?” Camila asked with a sharp look.Lyka shook her head and said, “I was just thinking about Yve’s feelings. She must be devastated and traumatized.”Camila sighed deeply. She felt great pity for her daughter and couldn’t imagine what Lyka had gone through.“Never mind what has happened. Yve is safe now. The most important thing is to offer her moral support so she doesn’t suffer deep trauma,” Camila said. “And you should take this as a lesson to avoid similar issues in the future.”Lyka nodded. Without saying a word, she walked to her room, leaving her mother behind.Christian was inside Yve’s room, holding her while she slept. He had been sitt
Although she was puzzled, Dorota didn’t ask many questions and chose to follow Christian’s instructions right away.In her room, Dorota contacted someone who had been her college friend to ask for comprehensive information about Zofia and the Kowalska Family.Meanwhile, in his room, Christian continued searching for information about the Kowalska Family on the internet.His encounter with Zofia had piqued his interest in collaborating with the woman. From what Christian had gathered, Zofia was a smart and hardworking individual. Working with someone like her would undoubtedly be pleasant and advantageous.Initially, Christian had initiated this project to assist his wife. However, when his wife rejected it, he couldn’t cancel the project, as it had already become a topic of public discussion. Furthermore, ChrisCrafter Ltd. had invested a considerable amount of capital. Cancelling the project would tarnish the company’s reputation and threaten BIG Consortium Corp’s stock price.Not to
Dorota returned to Christian’s room and handed over two proposals that had been sent by the Kowalska company. She had also prepared some information about the Kowalska Family, as instructed by Christian.Christian quickly reviewed the proposals sent by the Kowalska company and found them to be very impressive.“What about the information on the Kowalska Family?” Christian asked.Dorota handed her tablet to Christian and said, “This is the report I got from my contacts, Sir. It’s still basic information because I only gave them 30 minutes to gather all the information about the Kowalska Family. If this report is satisfactory, I’ll send it to your email.”Christian nodded, then examined the report, which didn’t differ significantly from the information he already had. There was no particularly interesting information about the family, except that they were a conglomerate family.It was now 9 in the morning, and all the final proposals from the companies that had made it through the last
Rafael still tried to meet Christian despite being blocked by the security officers.Zofia, who witnessed this, was very surprised. How could a mayor plead and even prostrate himself before Christian?This raised a big question for the woman.Rafael’s guards now began to challenge the security officers of the ChrisCrafter Ltd. company. And one of the guards even struck one of the security officers.But all the chaos stopped when Diego arrived and threw all of Rafael’s guards out of the company building.“You disrespectful lot! How dare you create a commotion here!” Diego growled while kicking the guards.Then the man turned to the mayor and said, “You should consider yourself lucky that Lord Demetri has spared your life. If not for his kindness, I would have killed you yesterday.”Crash!Of course, hearing that made the mayor frightened. He nodded and said, “Alright. I will leave here now.”After saying that, the mayor left the company building.Once Rafael left, Diego and his men als
Getting that question made Darrell confused about how to answer it.Honestly, Demetri, whoever he was, was someone Darrell couldn’t touch, no matter what.And as for Reginald, to Darrell, it was like climbing a steep rocky mountain without safety ropes.“To be honest, the one who can turn the tables is Mr. Demetri himself. Even though you will take over the Demetri Family in the near future, it can’t be said to be easy. Mr. Reginald will resist you sooner or later. Therefore, you must have the ability to protect yourself and build your image as soon as possible. With that, you will gain support from the other Demetri Family members,” Darrell said.“Is that the only way?” Christian asked.“Yes, of course. Only by building your image and gaining support from the family can you defeat him,” Darrell replied.After thinking it over, Darrell’s words seemed to be right. With the support of the Demetri family, Reginald wouldn’t be able to do much. Especially if Carlos Demetri announced his he
Christian yanked Belinda’s arm quite forcefully and led her out of the office.“Shh... can you do it a bit more quietly? What if everyone finds out about this?” Christian asked, his voice strained, and his eyes bulging.Belinda wasn’t scared, despite seeing Christian angry, unlike their first encounter at the Bluemoon Club, where Belinda had him begging.But here, she felt challenged by Christian.“Why should people find out? We did live through that past. Even though I know it didn’t end happily, facts can’t be discarded so easily,” Belinda said, staring into Christian’s eyes.“Nevertheless, I want you to keep your mouth shut. Or I’ll force you to do it! Don’t play games with me!” Christian warned, his words carrying a threat.There was an implied threat in the man’s words, but Belinda remained unafraid.She saw an opportunity here to gain control over Christian, which could lead to personal gain.“I think if someone wants something, they have to pay for it. That’s just common sense,
Christian was taken aback when he heard Belinda asking for so much money.“Are you crazy? Is that much money just to make you keep quiet?” Christian asked.Belinda nodded her head and said, “If you want to, give it to me. But if you don’t want to, then don’t give it to me. It’s as simple as that.”Christian shook his head. He couldn’t give Belinda that much money.“I won’t give you that money!” Christian exclaimed, then walked out of his wife’s office.Yve was checking her phone when Christian arrived.“Let’s go; we’re leaving!” Christian said.“Where were you? You took so long,” Yve asked, putting her phone back into her bag.Christian was unsure of how to respond. Suddenly, Belinda’s voice came from behind, “That’s right, Miss. Earlier, Mr. Christian was asking me questions.”Christian immediately turned around and stared at Belinda.However, the woman just smiled and appeared unfazed by Christian’s anger.“Oh, what was he asking about?” Yve inquired.Belinda was about to speak, but
Mateusz tapped Donilok on the shoulder and said, “We should sit down.”Both men then took their seats next to each other. Yve and Christian also joined them.Yve made an effort to be polite and show her respect to Mateusz, despite his higher social status. “You tend to be too brutally honest and speak your mind without considering other people’s feelings. Even though Yve’s husband is only responsible for cleaning the house, you shouldn’t say that in public like this. You could hurt his self-esteem and dignity,” Mateusz advised.Donilok shrugged and replied, “I’m just stating the truth. Is that wrong?”“The truth, even if bitter, should be accepted. In reality, if Yve could be happier with you because you’re a member of the Kowalska family, I think everyone would agree, including Yve and Christian,” Donilok continued.Mateusz leaned back in his chair, his right hand on the table, playfully tapping his fingers on the dining table with a smile.“Yes... in terms of the truth, what you sa
