All members of the Crowwel family welcomed Gabe with happy smiles. They were all so sure that Gabe had succeeded in tying up the partnership with the Lekston company, they didn't even suspect Gabe's blank face at the moment.
"Gabe, look, Grandpa threw a lavish party to celebrate your success," Grandpa said, spreading his arms, as if showing how lavish the party he threw was. Gabe's parents and everyone else looked at each other when they saw Gabe just standing still with his head down, Ruby frowned in confusion at Gabe's expression that was hard to understand. "Gabe, why are you lowering your head, you should be happy because Grandpa threw this event to welcome your success," said Gabe's mother as she stepped closer to her son. "The Lekston company has just been taken over by the main heir of all the Lekston family assets. The heir to the Lekston company said he only wanted to discuss business matters with Ruby." Gabe stared at Ruby sharply after speaking. Everyone in the room immediately looked at Ruby with furrowed brows full of questions. “Do you know who the heir of the Lekston family is?” Grandpa asked. “No, I was just as surprised as you,” Ruby said quickly. “If you don’t know him then why did the new leader of the Lekston company insist on only discussing business with you?” Gabe’s mother asked, glaring at Ruby. “I don’t know,” Ruby said shortly. Ruby lowered her head. Suddenly she remembered what Luc had said in the hospital ‘I will make sure that only you will sign the cooperation agreement with the Lekston company.’ But the next second Ruby immediately shook her head, how could her unemployed husband be the main heir, this was impossible. “It seems like this is just a coincidence. Maybe the new leader of the Lekston company only wants a woman to cooperate, maybe the new leader is a young man,” Gabe’s father guessed. Grandpa was silent for a moment then looked at Carrol. “Tomorrow you come to the Lekston company and persuade the main heir of the company!” Grandpa ordered firmly. “I will do as Grandpa says,” Carrol said while glancing at Ruby with a smirk. Carrol was very surprised because Grandpa appointed him to replace Ruby, this was the first time Carrol had received attention from Grandpa and he would not waste this opportunity. “Grandpa can’t do this, didn’t you hear what Gabe said earlier, he only wants to sign the contract with me,” Ruby said repeating what Gabe said. “You dare to deny what Grandpa said Ruby! You impudent granddaughter.” Grandpa’s hand was raised high and ready to slap Ruby, everyone’s eyes widened in shock, even Ruby’s parents didn’t dare to help because they were afraid of being kicked out of the Crowwel family. Ruby closed her eyes tightly, she regretted not being able to hold her tongue to stay silent. But there was no slap on her cheek, Ruby slowly opened her eyes and saw Luc holding Grandpa’s hand. “Don’t hit my wife, Grandpa, I beg you,” Luc said, lowering Grandpa’s hand slowly. Then he dropped his knees to the floor with his head bowed. The old man’s face became increasingly cloudy, like a puddle of rainwater on a potholed road. For the first time someone dared to stop what he wanted to do, the man certainly wouldn’t be lenient with a loser like him. “Trash! How dare you touch my hand.” After speaking, Grandpa raised his stick high and hit Luc’s body repeatedly. Grandpa hit randomly, while Luc could only surrender without daring to stop what Grandpa was doing to him. All the Crowwel family who never liked Luc smiled happily seeing the trash getting hit like this. “Grandpa… Grandpa please don’t hit him. Forgive him, Grandpa.” Ruby spoke with tears streaming down her cheeks. “Don’t cry over trash like Ruby. Luc deserved to get hit by Grandpa,” Merta said. Merta felt relieved because Luc was the one who got hit by her father and not Ruby. "Ruby just leave that trash alone, no need to help him," Zerin said while pulling Ruby's hand, but Ruby immediately brushed it aside. "Why can you talk like that, Luc defended me so that I got hit by Grandpa." Ruby spoke while looking at Merta and Zerin alternately with a disappointed look. Merta looked around, she saw all the family members were talking about them, Merta felt ashamed to see the daughter she raised actually defending a useless man like that. Mr. Crowwel stopped hitting Luc because his strength was running low. Ruby helped Luc to stand up, she was sad to see Luc's temple which was leaking red fluid from the torn wound there. "You idiot! Why didn't you avoid Grandpa's punch," Ruby said while wiping the red fluid on Luc's temple using tissue. "If I avoided it then Grandpa would blame you," Luc said honestly. His heart felt warm when he saw Ruby's face worried about his condition. "Ruby, just let that man die so you can marry a rich man, why endure being a trash wife like him." Gabe spoke loudly so that everyone could hear. Gabe tried to vent his disappointment over failing to sign the contract with Lekston by belittling Luc. He would cut his own tongue when he found out Luc's true identity. "You really deserve to marry a loser like him, Ruby." Carrol insulted by folding his arms arrogantly across his chest. "Get that Trash out of this mansion!" Grandpa ordered with a sharp gaze. "Carrol can definitely get that cooperation, she's no less beautiful than Ruby. The new heir to Lekston who wants to talk business with Ruby must have only seen her beauty," said Mrs. Carrol confidently. "Mom, don't worry, no man will reject your daughter's charm." Carrol spoke confidently. "You will regret doing this to my wife." Luc spoke while holding Ruby's hand tightly. "Go away, Trash! No one wants to see you any longer, you useless man." Carrol spoke loudly again. "I'll go home by myself Ruby, stay here." After speaking, Luc let go of Ruby's hand that was still wrapped around his arm. Ruby was about to follow Luc, but her hand was immediately held by Zerin and Merta. Luc came out of the big house like a loser.Ruby's Residence."Lian, does your father's friend know who the mysterious sole heir of the Lekston family is?" Maike asked."What's wrong, uncle?" Lian asked back before answering Maike's previous question."Gabe came to the company to replace Ruby in signing the cooperation agreement, but the sole heir of the Lekston family said that he would only discuss business matters with Ruby," Zerin explained."Quickly put the drink in front of Lian!" Merta ordered after Luc stepped closer with a tray."Mom, don't be rude," Ruby warned and Merta did not respond."Oh ... of course it was because of Dad's help. Actually, Dad forbade me to say this, but since you already know, I can't hide it anymore." Lian justified all kinds of ways to attract Zerin's attention and also her parents."Now you don't need to worry anymore, Ruby, because the cooperation contract will still be yours," Zerin said."Say thank you from me to your father, Lian." Ruby spoke while looking at Luc who was still standing b
"Gabe, do I look beautiful today?" Carrol asked while brushing some of her hair behind her ear with a graceful movementGabe examined Carrol's appearance from her toes to the top of her head before answering. "You are very beautiful, perfect, graceful and charming.""You praise too much," Carrol said with a satisfied smile"I'm just trying to be honest," Gabe replied."Gabe, is that really the useless son-in-law of the Crowwel family?" Carrol said while narrowing his eyes."You're right, what is that trash doing here," Gabe said while walking quickly towards Luc who had just come out of the elevator specifically for the company's leaders."Gosh, he even dares to use a private elevator, is he blind," Carrol said with half a voice stuck in his throat.Luc who was in a hurry did not realize the presence of Gabe and Carrol. Luc was shocked when his hand was pulled roughly by someone, before Luc had time to look at the person suddenly two hard slaps landed on one of his cheeks, making the
.Luc sat with his hand holding the tombstone that said Nani Low, his eyes filled with tears as the image of their togetherness invaded his brain's internal memory like a tape being replayed in slow motion."Mom, now you are no longer in pain, you are at peace in the afterlife, I am here to avenge everyone who has ever said bad things about you, I will avenge those who have bullied me all this time." Luc's eyes turned sharp as if they were showing his determination to take revenge."I have done what Mr. Lucifer ordered," said Alan who had been standing beside Luc."Good, I will start this revenge from her." Luc spoke with a devilish grin.Luc lowered his head sadly when he found out that Ruby did not come to Nani's funeral. Luc had thought that only Ruby would care about him, but that turned out to be wrong. But the next second Luc changed his mind after listening to Alan's report about Ruby's absence from this funeral. "I saw Miss Ruby at the funeral, but when Miss Ruby was about to
The sparkling lights hanging beautifully added to the excitement of the event tonight, all members of the Crowwel family had gathered on purpose to celebrate Mr. Brian Crowwel's 75th birthday party.Mr. Brian is the head of the Crowwel family, the members of this family respect him so much, they all even prepared gifts well in advance to get Mr. Crowwel's attention.Mr. Crowwel has not stopped smiling since earlier, he was so happy when he saw his family members gathered, they greeted each other warmly, but Mr. Crowwel's smile slowly melted when he realized that one of the family members had not arrived."Where are Merta and her family?" asked Mr. Crowwel while looking around at all the family members."They are on their way," one of the family members answered.Not long after, Merta and her family entered the door of this luxurious mansion. The Crowwel family members smiled to welcome their arrival, but the smile disappeared after everyone realized the uninvited guests who were atten
Luc walked quickly towards his mother's room, he bumped into several hospital visitors until he got cursed at by them, but Luc didn't care because the most important thing was that he quickly arrived at Nani's room, after arriving Luc saw a middle-aged man standing in front of Nani's room, could he be the one who sent him the message?"Welcome, Mr. Luc," greeted the man with a neat appearance while bowing his body politely."Are you the one who sent me a short message earlier?" asked Luc while extending his hand and was immediately shaken by the man."Yes, sir. Let me introduce myself, my name is Alan, I am a trusted person of Mr. Abraham, your father." Alan spoke with a serious expression.Luc was silent while looking at Alan's hand, Luc looked at Alan with one eyebrow raised upwards."Mr. Alan, I am very grateful that you are willing to help pay off my mother's medical expenses which have been in arrears for a long time in the hospital. But honestly, I still can't believe all this,"
Luc stepped into the room, he saw Ruby sitting on the corner of the bed, the woman immediately wiped the clear tears on both of her cheeks when she realized Luc was in this room.Ruby never liked it when other people saw her crying, Ruby was the type of woman who preferred to cover up the restless feelings in her heart."Ruby, I'm sorry, sorry for getting you involved in trouble, Dad and Mom have told me about Grandpa's order sending you to negotiate business with Lekston's subsidiary," Luc said as he stepped closer to Ruby who was now staring at him sharply."Your apology is useless for now, do you know Luc, I'm threatened with being demoted and all because of your mistake of borrowing money from Grandpa! Why didn't you talk to me first about your mother's medical expenses, I can still help even though it's not much." After speaking Ruby stood up from her sitting position.Luc was very touched after listening to Ruby's words. His wife was indeed angry, she still had a good side by in
Luc's head lifted with both eyes sparkling, Lekston's subsidiary alone looked so magnificent and this could be said to be one of the skyscraper companies in this country. Luc still found it hard to believe that he was the main heir to all the Lekston family assets, it was really like a dream come true. Luc stepped into the company, he didn't care about everyone's cynical gazes, yes Luc was wearing simple clothes with stitches in several parts, this was the best clothes Luc had. The elevator door was already open, when Luc was about to enter the elevator suddenly three people stopped his intention. Luc didn't expect that he would meet Ruby, Zerin and also Lian, the man who liked Zerin. The three people looked at him with different expressions. "Why are you here Luc?" asked Ruby. "I have business with one of the people at the Lekston company," said Luc answering honestly. "Hahaha! Do you think we will believe what you say! How could a useless person like you have a friend who work
Alan immediately bowed politely after seeing Luc step into the room.“Please sit down, Mr. Lucifer,” he asked politely.“Let’s sit together,” said Luc who was still not used to his position.“No, Sir, sit down, I will stand while explaining to you,” said Alan while putting several sheets of paper in front of Luc.“Okay, I won’t force you.” Luc finally gave in.“This is the black card that I promised you when you were in the hospital. This is a card with no limits and you can use it anytime, the pin on the card is your date of birth.” Alan spoke while handing the black card to Luc.“Then what is this sheet of paper?” asked Luciver while raising his gaze.“By signing the documents, Mr. Lucifer will officially become the heir to all the Lekston family assets, but Mr. Luc’s identity will remain hidden and it is necessary to be humble, not to show Mr. Lucifer’s identity in public,” said Alan explaining briefly and in detail. “Alan, I don’t have much ability to do business, I’ve never work

Everyone was gathered at the Crowwel family mansion. Mr. Crowwel even ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous meal according to the wishes of his extended family, this party would begin when Gabe came bringing happy news for all of them.Almost all members of the Crowwel family were enthusiastically awaiting Gabe's arrival, but not the same with Ruby, she had been silent since earlier with a sour face, but Ruby did not dare to protest her grandfather's decision, because the old man's words were the same as the law in this family, no one would dare to refute his orders or words."You shouldn't have told all the family members that Lian helped Ruby to get the cooperation," whispered Merta to Zelin who was sitting beside her.Zelin had told Merta and all the family members about Lian's father who had helped Ruby to get cooperation with the Lekston Group company. Of course no one would have guessed that Luc was the one who helped Ruby. "If only Zelin knew something like this would ha
