Inside the Pierson residence. A woman was playing with her finger on her chin. She walked back and forth restlessly, waiting for someone to come."Why isn't he coming back soon?" Diana looked toward the window. There, she saw only a few people on guard duty, but she didn't see her brother returning soon.Diana was very anxious thinking about Jimmy. Earlier, her brother had left and said he would go fishing for the Houghton family's son, who disappeared after ten years. But he didn't come back after almost a whole day. She didn't even get any news about Jimmy."Did he fail to get him?" Diana bit two of her fingertips. "That's impossible." Diana quickly dismissed her bad thoughts.A boy came in. He was named Jackson, looking up at his mother. "Are you worried about uncle?"Diana turned her head, looked at Jackson, and nodded with a worried face. "Yes, your uncle hasn't come back since a while ago. You know that he went to kill that person." Diana couldn't control her anxiety.Meanwhile,
Howard was shocked by Diana's words. He rounded his eyes. "That's impossible. I don't think it's true. What the hell is going on?"Howard still didn't understand, nor did Jackson, who was calming his mother. Meanwhile, Howard got up again. He opened the box that Diana had previously opened. His eyes opened wide when he saw a finger cut with a ring he recognized. Howard knew that it was a ring left by his grandfather with a Pierson family crest in the center of the ring. "How did this happen?" His breath caught a little. He really hoped that his uncle would kill the masked man who had killed his grandfather. Her hands clenched into fists after reading the same letter Diana had read earlier. "He's a damn man. He can't just threaten us." Howard was filled with a great rage. His chest rumbled. He stared at Diana. "Auntie is right. We must kill that man immediately." Howard's gaze was filled with great anger. Diana calmed down a little. She was helped to her feet by Jackson. Then she
Clara squeezed the hem of her shirt after hearing Zachary's words. She looked very emotional. "You should be able to behave yourself and your words," Clara emphasized. She watched Zachary, from his hair to his shoes. She was so upset. Even though Zachary looked well-groomed, it didn't change that Zachary was poor and useless. Clara thought Zachary should respect her because she had a higher position than Zachary. She was also sure that Zachary wanted to marry Naura not only because of wealth but also because Naura had now obtained a huge contract. Clara raised her hand. She pointed at Zachary's face, but her eyes were on Naura. "I will show you if he is a useless man." Clara lowered her hand. She shifted her body slightly and looked at her friend's face. "Naura, at this time, we should have lunch together. I'm glad that you're better now. And I miss you so much." Clara pulled Naura's hand. She grasped it tightly. "I would have bent over for you if she was that lame." Clara stopped
Clara smiled happily at Anthony's arrival. Then she looked at Naura's face and hoped that Naura would be interested in him. Then she said, "Naura, this is Anthony, the friend I told you about last time. He comes from the city of Xilla." Clara introduced him enthusiastically.The man looked neat in the black suit he was wearing. He extended his hand to shake hands with Naura. "Meet me, I'm Anthony."Naura looked at him doubtfully. He returned the hand with his usual gaze. "I'm Naura Harvey.""Yes, I often hear about you from Clara. She often tells me about you. I'm glad we met." Anthony smiled gently. Then he sat next to Clara.Anthony sat politely and neatly. He looked so handsome and charismatic. Clara hoped that Zachary would feel jealous of his friend.Anthony looked at Naura. In his position, they were facing each other. There, Anthony seemed interested and admired Naura's beautiful face.Anthony seemed fascinated with Naura. He watched her without blinking. And Clara was happy to
Anthony smiled. "Well, if that's the case, I'm certainly a better person than him." He smiled confidently.Clara nodded in agreement, but not Naura. She seemed annoyed by what Clara and her friend were talking about. Even though they were talking in whispers, Naura could hear them. And Naura was sure they said it on purpose so Zachary would hear it.Naura looked at Anthony and Clara with annoyance. "You guys are very disrespectful. You shouldn't have said that. Including you." Naura pointed at Anthony.Clara disagreed with Naura's words. "Of course, Anthony has a polite attitude. Not only that, he is also a classy and rich man. He will even pay for all our meals here." Clara spoke confidently.Naura sighed. She held back her irritation. "That is unnecessary," Naura spoke firmly. She could even pay all those bills.Anthony shook his head. "Of course, it is a necessary thing. I'm a man, and I'm a gentleman, so I have to pay all the restaurant bills. That is the attitude of a gentleman."
Zachary gives his card to the waitress. The waiter accepted it and helped him to make the payment transaction.After a while, the waiter returned. "Sir, the payment has been successful. Here." The waiter gave Zachary the receipt and card back.Clara was shocked. She couldn't believe it. Clara looked at Zachary in confusion. "How could he do that?" He mumbled, making Clara upset that Zachary could make that payment.Clara had previously thought that she would humiliate Zachary in front of Naura so that Naura would realise that Zachary did not deserve her, but since then, she had failed to humiliate him. And this was not what Clara had in mind.The woman squeezed the hem of her shirt. She looked up at Anthony, who had been silent. And Clara chose to fold her arms and look away from Zachary. She was even a little embarrassed by Naura.Anthony still felt uneasy, his hand still in Zachary's grip. He tried to remove his hand, but Zachary's grip was too strong. He even had the prestige to as
Clara folded her arms in front of her chest. He looked at Anthony's face in annoyance. He had spent some money on this plan, but he was annoyed when Anthony was defeated by the two thugs easily.He moved closer to Anthony. “Why are you so stupid? I told you to beat them.” He spoke with great emphasis.Anthony felt pain in his body. “They hit me very hard.” Anthony held his sore arm."You can't do anything. This was a good plan, but you ruined it.” Clara really looked annoyed.Anthony also felt annoyed because he failed to subdue the two thugs and he lowered his face on the road by exhaling roughly.Meanwhile, Naura was seen smiling when she saw Zachary who had succeeded in defeating the two thugs. “You're really great, Zake.”This is not the first time Naura has seen Zachary wrestling with someone. Previously, Zachary had wrestled with many, many men and he managed to defeat them. And of course, at this time Zachary also managed to defeat the two big men.“You are truly amazing, Zake.
At the Pierson family residence, a meeting took place. The entire Pierson family gathered, as well as some of the families of the other three giant families. And they were meeting virtually. Even though they were face-to-face on a large screen, their faces were stern and focused. A man, the son of the Winter family, exhaled his breath. Lemos Winter squeezed the fabric of his pants and spoke, "How come the son of the Houghton family that we were supposed to eliminate immediately is nowhere to be found." He spoke loudly, and the sound boomed throughout the room. "Yes, I don't know, how could he hide his identity so well that it's so hard to find out. She is very young but has a very cunning mind." Jeff Lawson also spoke loudly. Diana squeezed the hem of her black dress. Hearing the name of the Houghton family mentioned, her blood boiled. She recalled the past and her brother's current fate. She was even sure that the person who killed her father was the same. Jeff Lawson spoke agai
