"I have been watching Surge Piedrach ever since he set foot in this land. Aside from contacting Kane Rivera, he also met with the Lintons." Colton paused. "Are you referring to Philip Linton, the man who has an affair with my wife?" "Yes, Sir." Colton touched his chin, "The Lintons have no redeeming quality compared to the glory of their past. What can Surge do after siding with a powerless family? The only thing the Lintons could do is seduce my helpless wife and deceived her. Well, it is thanks to them that I am able to get my wife to sign the papers." "Should we take care of the Lintons?" Colton tapped his finger on the table. "We will take care of them. But not now. We must secure our trades in the foreign markets and wait to finish the investigation regarding the inheritance. Once the inheritance is under my name, we will finish the Lintons and Surge together. "For now, let the news of the Piedrach staying in the country spread far and wide. I am sure a lot of people will k
Suzie turned off the alarm. "I'll be meeting the guest downstairs. Stay here." Suzie then left. Javier just remained standing with his crutches in front of the monitor. He saw his wife coming down to meet Xander. Xander looked tall and handsome in his suit. He looked youthful and charming like always. Javier remembered this man. He had a business dealing with him before and Xander left a good impression on him. If not for the accident, he must have recruited Xander to be one of his people. But that changed when he went into a coma and saw the actions of the people around him. He learned the secret of the Linton family and their affair with Reyna. As well as their disgusting acts. They were no different from the Albrecht and Mckenzie family. And now, Xander, a person from the Linton family was around his wife. Were they using his wife for some ploys? Javier's eyes narrowed. There was no sound on the monitor, so Javier closely watched the action of the two. Downstairs,
"The car is waiting. Let's go, son." Philip said to Xander before he got in the car.Xander looked back. Where was Suzie?"...You should go first. I'll look for Suzie." Xander was about to return to the west hall but Reyna, who was already seated in the car, stopped him. "She is not coming. I have given her another task." Xander hesitated. He brought Suzie in because he thought she would go with them like usual. Yet, Reyna seemed to have another plan.Philip glanced at his son with a warning. "Get in."Xander looked back at the building, worried.Was Reyna punishing Suzie now? What did she ever do? Suzie was innocent."Aunt...Suzie is-""Are you not going in yet?" Philip cut off his son's words. "You are wasting time."Xander bit his lips.He was the one who brought Suzie here. If she was punished, would she think he was also included in this?"Father-"Philip came out of the car and held Xander by his shoulder. His voice was threatening, "Son, don't make me repeat myself. Get in th
....While Suzie was enjoying her food, Javier was waiting anxiously."What do you mean that you don't know?""Madame...figured out that we are watching her. She pulled the curtains. We can't longer get inside the room or else the other workers will find us suspicious. We can only sneak in once the change of shifts started." Javier frowned.Should he abandon his plans for now and rescue Suzie? What if his wife passed out of hunger?"Prepare to barge in," Javier's determined voice sounded after a while. His wife's safety was his priority.Javier slowly stood up from his chair and picked up his documents. If he had to leave the cabin, he need to burn these papers."Master...if we leave now, Colton would be aware of your movements. The transfer of inheritance is just around the corner. Please wait for a bit more-""Do you want to be punished like your team leader?"The man in a butler's disguise: "...."He was in second in command and took the leader's position after his captain was pu
It was passed midnight when the door opened again. This time it was Reyna's maid who came in. "The Madame has arrived. She requested you to come in." Suzie, who was drowning with thoughts stood up. She followed the maid to Reyna's room. Reyna was seating there in a white robe with a wine glass in her hand. She dismissed the maids and looked disgustedly at Suzie. Suzie greeted her politely. "How are you mother-in-law? I was worried about you and tried to visit you multiple times. But your maid did not allow me to. I am glad that you called for me." Suzie did not complain about the mistreatment at all and smiled fawningly at Reyna. But Reyna was not happy. She raised her brows. "Do you think I'll be fine after what happened to my son? I was so distressed." "I heard about what happened to my brother-in-law. I am sure he would be okay. Because he has you, Mother." Reyna glared at Suzie. "Do you think your fawning will work on me now? I heard from my son that you humiliate him be
The way to the cabin was silent. Suzie was in deep thought. She wasn't worried about Reyna's punishment or not receiving her allowance. She could survive without Reyna's money.What she was worried about was to whether confront Javier about what happened earlier. Should she ask him about his current situation such as his plans and power of influence or pretend that this had not happened?Was asking such confidential things would change something in their current relationship?Was she even included in his plans? Now that she knows some of his secrets, would he distance himself from her? Or would he reveal his plans to her?Suzie doesn't know how to face Javier. Should she just pretend and let it pass? It was better if she would not say anything about it."Ahm...Suzie. We are here." Suzie woke up from her thoughts and followed Xander out. She looked at the window of the master's bedroom. There was no light there.Was he asleep? "Uhm...Suzie. I have something to tell you."Xander's
Javier had been looking at the monitor with great focus. His eyes never swayed away from the screen. He had been waiting for Suzie the whole night and anticipated her arrival. He even made a midnight snack in case Suzie was hungry. He planned to greet his wife warmly the moment she opened the door.It was something he couldn't do before and anticipated doing today.But then his people reported that Suzie was sent off by Xander. Javier could only wait in the master's bedroom patiently.When the two arrived, he watched bitterly as Xander assisted his wife out of the car.Xander did not leave immediately. He was talking and stalling his wife.Javier frowned.What this man was saying to his wife? He looked suspicious.His eyes went wide when Xander grabbed his wife's arm!Javier: !He immediately ran downstairs.How dare that bastard touch his wife! What he was doing to another man's wife!Javier did not even notice that he ran for the first time ever since he woke up. He ignored the pai
Suzie sighed and kneeled. She did not unravel Javier's arms around her shoulder and instead made her body lower so Javier would be in a comfortable position.But...This seemed as if they were hugging intimately.Suzie tried to clear away that thought. This hug had no malice and no intent behind it. Don't think too much..."Suzie...." Javier called out her name softly. His head was on her neck so his warm breath tickled her skin.Suzie's heart thumped fast.Don't call her name with that tone while they were hugging! She might commit a crime!"...W-what is it? Do you feel better now?"...Yes. Suzie, can I ask you something?""Alright.""....Just wait a little more.""?"It was not a question but more like...a request?Suzie did not understand what Javier meant by that." 'Wait a bit more?' ""Mhm. I might not be a good husband now. But I will do my very best to protect you."Oh...So it was about that.Suzie felt guilty. She should not have engaged in such a conversation with Xander.Wh
