CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 125. New friendship
Lia didn't know what was happening with Aster but she was really worried about the constant looks from that lady in the class.Was there something on her face?She unconsciously wanted to cover her face with bangs but she controlled her urge.She wanted to ask her, why."Okay, this is the end of today's lecture. Let's start working on our programs."Lia left that all aside when she totally concentrated on her work. She was bere to teach so she wouldn't want to jeopardize that.The assistant teacher was also very helpful."Miss, can you wait!"Lia was stopped by the lady.Lia wanted to run away and she winced towards the door."Wait, I'm not gonna hurt you."The lady raised her hands to show that she was coming with peace of mind."Okay, what do you want me for?"Lia asked.If there was one thing Lia learned by being in the company of all the rich people she suddenly met, it was confidence.If you are failing, fail with confidence.If Marvin knew this, he would say that he definitely d

"I was freaked out because of the way you kept watching and staring at me."Lia finally told her."That, I was watching because you look similar to my idol. I feel like it's the eyes of fans because they keep seeing their idols everywhere.""Who is your idol?""It's August of True Hate. I have his signed album. You wanna see?"Lia wanted to say that she sees Oggy on a daily basis now.And she didn't look anything like Oggy, right? Maybe because they live together, their faces started looking somewhat similar?She decided that way."Hey, what's your name?""I'll tell you my real name. Okay?"Lia nodded."And you have to find out my work name by the members. You should also get to know them that way."Lia felt extremely thankful. She was actually scared to talk to the members about anything other than the subject they were learning."My name is June. And my sister's name was May. Our mother loved these months. You know she always said if we had a brother, she would name him August. That

Lia was pretty much frustrated about the envelope so she she didn't know what to do.She was conflicted, confessed, and scared. What if the envelope brought her bad news?She then patted herself and reassured her."Forget that. You have to think about other things. Like how Aster and Marvin are coping. They are stuck finding the information."Lia was successfully distracted."Hey, Lia, come out. Asher is here. Your brother isn't back. Keep him company."Yes, Jake was studying. That was like a sudden surprise for them all. But he had to, right? If he wanted to get good grades, he had to study.That meant he came home late.So it was Lia's responsibility to watch Asher."Hey kid, you are back. Give me your bag."Lia nodded at his bodyguard and took him to her apartment."Hi, aunt."The kid was very good now. It seemed like he started to like her."Aunt, can we go back home? I want to change my clothes."Lia looked at him carefully."You have some at our home.""No, I want to wear bear p
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 128. Caught
Lia never thought that someday she would use her bracelet positioning.It all started when she was going back home and she felt that she was being followed again.This time, she was going to catch them. The only problem here was that she couldn't tell Aster.Or Marvin.She saw that there were two guys behind her in black.To see if they were following and watching her, she yawned and when one of them made a stupid face, she understood that they were following her.After the confirmation, she decided to act.She couldn't go back home now. She had to catch them when they were unprepared.Act when you have a chance.Who knows when you get a second chance?She then remembered that she had the tracking bracelet. That was good.She always wore one now. The last time was fresh in her memory and she didn't want to go through it again.She stroked the surface of the bracelet and made a tentative plan.It was good that she knew the surroundings well.Lia took a shortcut to the park and then sat

"They told nothing else!"Marvin sighed."I think they are hiding. Come on, why would they tell us the truth? We should use some things."Aster strode inside the room and the two guys looked at him.They didn't look remotely uncomfortable.But like they were on a vacation."You are not lying, I know," Aster paused for an effect."But you are not telling the entire truth."The two guys tried to look unfazed but the narrowing of their eyes gave him the answer."So, ready to tell the truth?"Aster also hit it home."What can you give us?"One of them asked."I can allow you to go free without getting more punishment. You should realize that you would be charged. So out with it.""We want money. We are selling your secret information.""That is not a secret thing if you tell us after you find your conscience.""Hey, this is too much. We found the information using our hard work. We are willing to sell it."Aster didn't answer him."Come on, man. We do this for our family. We flew the risks

This time Aster and Marvin were very tired when they reached Marvin's home.Because they slept intermittently on the plane, their moods were totally off."I will go sleep for a while. You take rest too. We will meet at one in the afternoon and discuss the meeting."Yes, before they decided what to do with the information they found, they had to rest their brain. Otherwise, they would just make stupid decisions."Yes," Aster also echoed with this decision particularly.He was feeling so tired that he didn't want to even step out of his room. Or rather get up from the warm cozy bed.He didn't take anything back from here so he could only get changed. He then fell asleep.In his semi awake state, he thought about the letter he wrote but soon he fell into a dreamless sleep.Marvin was woken up by the alarm later in the afternoon.He opened his eyes with difficulty and glanced at the ceiling for a long time.Glaring at the alarm clock, he got up and spoke."Off."The alarm stopped ringing.

Aster and Marvin went out. They had to meet a friend. They reached the room in the restaurant that they had booked earlier for a special reason."Welcome!"A man was already sitting there waiting for them.Aster took a good look and found that the guy looked strong. He could very well be the lead of a martial arts movie.He was the so-called son-in-law of the Willow family. "Hi, I'm Jason Kane."He shook hands with both of them and then invited them to sit.The room was large and it had a karaoke bar too. Aster felt that this was a high end restaurant."This belongs to you?"Marvin asked him."Yes, my mom left this for me."Jason answered them while stirring the coffee mugs."Drink it."Aster sipped and his eyes lit up. This was good."You have a good restaurant."Aster seconded this."So you are here for what? I couldn't believe that Marvin Lexor wanted to talk to me."Marvin almost rolled his eyes."We have a very important matter to discuss. Are you sure this place is good for tha

"We are going undercover?"Aster asked Jason.He shook his head."I am going undercover. You are going to act like passerby there. I need you there to record the stuff. So in case someone plays dirty, I can have evidence."Marvin and Aster glanced at each other. So it looked like Jason also knew about the dirty dealings among the police force.It was only natural, right?Without help from the authorities, how could such places run smoothly and freely? There should be many illegal things happening there. Like money laundering and other stuff.So it would be a miracle if no one knew about that. Despite knowing everything, it was functioning normally so there is a foul play happening here."You mean we cannot intervene in anything?"Marvin caught the key point."Yes."Marvin spoke."You are cutting the middleman out. Now that you have information from us, you think we are of no use and you are cutting us out. This is wrong, man."Jason shook his head."I'm not allowing you because you ar

The date was wonderful. When they came back, Lia couldn't stop smiling."So, I'll see you tomorrow. "Aster dawdled without wanting to leave. Lia smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you go first. I'll wait for your signal."Lia left first and opened the door to Jake's face."Have you son some lottery again?""Noo!"Lia wanted to stop her face from smiling like an idiot but it was proving to be hard."Then your experiment was successful. I knew it, let's celebrate by eating leftover ice cream from yesterday."Lia didn't pay attention to him. At this point, she didn't need to pay attention to him as he was already taking out ice cream. She slipped away to her room.Lia then opened her window and opened the balcony curtain. It was yellow, and the signal successfully alerted Aster. He smiled and sat in his room, waiting for Asher to come back.Aster wanted to talk to his brother and tell him how happy he was today.It was like he was floating. And nothing could stand in his way or hurt him today.
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 140. Date
Butterflies were dancing everywhere. Lia felt like she had eaten some and some were flapping around her.That was really hilarious to think. But the thought of dating Aster sent her over the edge. She was being foolish but she was really happy.Lia cleaned her desk three times in a row before managing to calm herself down.Aster- How about we go to the museum today?Lia sent a reply lightning-fast.Lia- YesMuseum date, haha.She would love it.Museums were interesting and she would get to see a slow motion world there.No crowds today and more time to watch the exhibits she loved.Like the historic paintings and fossils.Lia wasn't worried about other things because she found herself wondering. The impact of the dating was this. She found herself double guessing her double guessing results.Finally, she dressed herself in a very casual way.And like always, she left her apartment with a note taped to the door. In case her brother wanted her to a grocery run, he could see the note and
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 139. Yes
Lia- YesAster grinned happily and he wanted to do a cartwheel. That ended badly as he knocked over the vase on the table. But that didn't damp his enthusiasm.It was a feeling he never experienced. It was like he was living in a fluffy cloud and he was made of a fluffy cloud too.The high he was feeling made him forget so many things. For instance, the stupid contract he made then. And the threatening things in their lives. And the fact that he never told her that the Lexor family was related to her.Yeah, love has selective vision and he was the perfect example.Lia was somehow the more clear headed one in this scenario. She just started working on her game. Lia had this habit. When she was bursting with something, she would try to delay it with some other work as a tactic. And when she felt somewhat calm, she would deal with it.This only worked for ten minutes and she kept having flashes of Aster. Lia sighed and smiled."Stupid Lia!"This showed that her tactic wasn't working an
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 138. Confess
"Do you want to confront him?"Marvin asked Aster.Aster really wanted to ask that person how could he betray his family. This guy was his mother's cousin. And to do this, it was really bad. Simon had sent so many items from his mother's collection and they were more or less bad. Similar to the stuff the old man gave. Now he was really doubtful about the old man too.Was he also involved in this shady stuff? Was he the mastermind behind this operation?Aster didn't know."What's the guarantee that he will tell me everything if I ask him?"Lia nodded. Yes, he could lie. Then they would lose their edge by making the enemy know that they were onto him."Yes, you are right. I think all of the people we found are scapegoats. If it was that easy to find him, your brother or your parents would have found him. And to keep doing this stuff for such a long time, he should be somewhat proficient, right?"Lia rambled.She really thought that way. "Also, we found this organization. Maybe there are

"Yes, the animal categories are very disturbing. It makes no sense why they used that but then again, it all depends on the person who is making the categories. If it was me, I would give them artistic names. Like painting, singing, dancing, you get it, right?"Albert answered and chuckled.But who asked him anything about this? No one. He was very interested in knowing and answering questions. "Hey, you are still working on the cats' folder, Marvin is now combing through monkeys."He also provided status updates.Good guy.This was making Lia nervous and competitive. She felt like she was taking a competitive exam and she had only thirty minutes left to solve half of the question paper."Got it. Your decryption algorithm worked, let's see the results."They all surrounded Aster."Let's see the first image."It was actually a cat playing with a red dot but after the decryption, it became something else.There were words instead.59 million gain 15 million lossAJ recruited"What's thi

Lia watched Aster set up the equipment and do a final check. She stood out of the way watching everything.Albert just stayed there in the chair hanging his legs out and nearly falling asleep. He slapped himself awake and it was very funny to watch.Lia then watched Marvin coming out with cups of coffee.She took one because let's face it, she wasn't awake completely."Okay, we are ready. On your signal."Marvin nodded."It's time. Start."Aster pressed the button and the screen started changing. The text was scrolling and Lia found it difficult to read."This is going well. We don't have much to copy. It will be done in three minutes."And like he said, the status bar came to a stop."It's done."It felt less party kind of an exclamation but they were still happy. Lia thought that they would all jump in the air and celebrate. But the reality was that even with coffee, they were all very sleepy.""I'm going to sleep."Albert fell asleep there.As it was done, Lia nodded and went to her

"Mom I have to talk about the class schedule with Marvin and Aster. I'll be home late.""Okay, have fun."Lia had finished her dinner and when everyone were watching television, she got a signal from Marvin."You go. I'll watch Asher and Jake."Oggy declared. Well, if he was so sure, then why not?"So, what is that water thing?"Lia almost forgot. Oggy was also a member of the kid gang.Seeing their attention drawn to the fountain, the three of them left the room.They went to Albert's apartment because apparently Aster's was not totally safe now.They didn't get rid of all the spy chips there. They left one as a formality.And that's why they had to change their Lair."Tell me, tell me, tell me."Albert started repeating."Wait, let Lia settle down."Yes, Lia was searching for a good cushion. She was embarrassed at having that pointed out "I'm okay, you can start."She coughed."Okay, so here's what we found."Marvin then motioned for Aster to start talking."Marvin connected my cop

"Whew, we are back home. The whole thing was very stressful."Aster felt like he was in heaven when he saw his couch. He was that happy."Yeah, take rest now. We will check the computer in the evening. Let's get the information sooner so that we can work on other things later."Marvin changed out of his clothes and he was ready to go out.Aster was surprised."You aren't going to rest?"He questioned Marvin."Yes, I have to go check the company. With the headquarters not here, I have so much backlogged by being out."Aster felt sad for Marcin. Good thing Ray did his work in the meantime.Maybe when his brother woke up, he would be free and sleep till he naturally woke up.Those were some happy days.Aster sighed and fell asleep on the couch."Uncle, you are back."It should be later because he was woken up by Asher."Yes, Aster, you are back. When did you come back? We didn't know anything."Jake was with Asher."I came around afternoon. Then I fell asleep. I would have met you all in

"This is a disaster," Aster told himself when he saw the bustling crowd in there. The club was totally filled with people and it was getting on Aster's nerves.He had never seen these many people in such a closed space.He made his way to the other end to get to a secluded place.Marvin had gone to the other side so he could keep an eye on people coming and going out of the side door.Aster felt that Marvin was doing a very focused job. Marvin kept shooting him messages that kept popping before his eyes and Aster wanted to block him.Marvin was having fun with the glasses but Aster had worked on them for so long so he didn't have any preference over it."Hey, handsome, are you alone?"Aster was brought out of his reverie by a voice.It was a guy.He had short spiky hair that looked like it could really hurt someone."Oh, no. I'm in my company."That guy came near him and sat beside him."Crazy night, right?""You realize it's just afternoon now.""What? Its night. See."Aster saw no p
