CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 69. Found
Lia fell asleep. What else could someone do when their brain hurts by thinking? She had only one option.Maybe everything would be well once she woke up. Like a system reset or something.Marvin contacted Levi."Any news now?""Brother, I have narrowed the places down. You will get an answer in twenty minutes."Marvin answered."You did a good job. Looks like you will take over the company for me someday.""Brother, I'm very busy. You should take Oggy with you. He is very serious about learning. And he likes to act. Make him work for you so someday he could act in a drama as a CEO."Marvin felt that it was a good idea."You are so clever. I think your ideas are also important. You will work one day a month from now on.""Brother, you-""Levi, maybe someday, if things like Aster's happen to us, you should at least know the basic info of our company."The other side was quiet."Brother, nothing will happen. I will come once a week, okay!""Okay!"Marvin smiled, one down, two to go."You

"I seem to hear that you dazzled the board!"Lia chuckled. She was talking with Aster on the phone. This phone call was made by her. She was worried that something was wrong with Aster so she needed to know again for sure.When she talked with him earlier, he seemed busy. Knowing he was okay, she was relieved.But she called again to see if he could say anything more."It was okay. I felt scared but I had to do that.""You did a good job. I found many hidden moles. At least the company will be uneventful for some time now."Lia also felt that this was a good outcome."I always wanted ask you. Did you tell Marvin about me? Like why I am your wife and I dress differently. It seems that they know. I'm just worried that they tell my family."Aster paused."I am sure that won't happen."Lia felt assured now. She felt that she should be the one who told her family the truth. Knowing it from others would be a betrayal. And she didn't want to hurt them like that. But when everything is done,
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 71. Threats and rewards
Only Aster knew how he came back. His kind was buzzing. The things he ignored came back to his mind. Why did the Lexor family start developing here? Why Marvin requested to live with him?Most importantly why Grandpa Lexor came to stay here. They were family. They were Lia's family. This explained why they knew everything about him and Lia. This was simply surprising. It meant that he should talk with Marvin.He waited for Marvin in his apartment for a long time. "You are good."Marvin spoke dryly.Aster stood up. He didn't know where to put his hands but he had to talk. "Brother, you are Lia's family."Marvin didn't say anything but his temperament changed. "Then I can talk to you about some things."He sat down."I don't like what you did."Aster nodded."Lia is not someone you can play with. I don't like your contract in any way. I'm quiet because I feel like she agreed. I'm not accepting her decision either but I have no say in this matter. But in any case, you are more at
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 72. Bad expression
Marvin and Oggy had a deep talk before they decided how to handle the matter between Aster and their family.Their grandfather had given his statement. Lia was not to be hurt in any way.This made things heavy.They had to move forward extremely cautiously. "You saw why, we have to now not act on Aster.""Brother, he is my best friend."Marvin glared at Oggy."Your best friend trapped your sister in a stupid agreement. He could have confessed to her straightforward instead of acting like a complete doofus CEO like in the novels."Oggy touched his nose."You are right. But brother, I know this, people in love lose their IQ. That's why he acted like this. Maybe he wanted to have his first and last relationship with our sister. Isn't this hood? If he asked someone else to act like his wife now. Wouldn't we be on the bad side?"Marvin glared more. "You know I'm right. It's just that he involved her in danger. But brother, Lia isn't a kid. She saw the out dug by him and she jumped in wi

Aster had just sent off the unwanted visitor when he found something else."Sir, I found a very suspicious activity."Ray called Aster and he hugged from his tone that Ray was really confused.Marvin had visited his new office and came back when he found Aster waiting for him."What's new?"Aster was depressed."I found that there is a new emerging force that is attacking my company. Can you track it?"Aster was sire that Marvin could help. He had forces that were superior to him."Show me."Marvin looked at the screen and frowned."This is not a white company. Most probably this should be some shell corporation and who is behind it, will take time to investigate.""Okay, I will be at ease with you looking at this."Aster had another reason to do this. He wanted to do other checks in the meantime.Marvin didn't bring his assistant here so I transferred the work to him.He had three assistants and they were trained to do specific tasks. One was his life assistant who helped in daily jo

When days pass by, you loss your perception. Because the lull you feel makes you let go of your worries. You feel nothing could go wrong. Life waits for you to feel those moments.You lose sight of all the worries and feel the light in your life. Everything seems all right. Lia felt the same. She didn't think anything could go wrong. Maybe except the shadow of the unknown murderer, there was nothjnf that prevented her from worrying.But that all broke when se saw something shocking. She was returning from a grocery run and she saw Aster getting out of a car. That was not his car because she knew his cars.It was a coincidence or something but Lia saw the driver look back at her.It was a young girl who smirked at her.Aster got out of the car and walked in.Lia watched the car leave and then she went in. She didn't take this matter to heart. Then again, why would she? Right?But she met with this situation again in the company.Lia had followed to check the progress of new Night li
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 75. Speechless
"I'm sorry, sister. I lied. I just wanted to discredit you. I know I'm wrong. I'll not do this again. Please forgive me."Before Aster could do anything, she kneeled. Lia was speechless at this. What can she do to someone who could perform a drama scene at any moment? "Yes, Mrs. Brooks, you see, she is a child. Let her go.""Yes, she knows she is wrong."This kind of stupid moral kidnapping, Lia felt for the first time. She had seen this and knew about this. But experiencing it first hand, this was the first time. She understood now that experiencing yourself makes you empathize with anything.You can say, I feel you but you are wrong. If you feel, only then you can feel. You can't just imagine. Because the mindset when you imagine is quite different from when you feel.It shows you what differs in these two cases. And Lia was pissed now. Her teeth were clenched. She wanted to yell but she couldn't. Aster frowned."Miss Ruby, you act like we asked you to kneel. Please get up and
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 76. How?
Lia stared at Ruby and saw her looking at her like a kitten."I have to go. I'm busy.""Yes, yes, sister. When do you get off?"She asked running after Lia."I don't know. If my team leader gives me more work, I have to stay late.""Why? It would help if you only worked during work hours. Do they give you overtime pay? If not, I will fight for you."She said moving her hands."They pay me well. Otherwise thus won't be the most sought company here. You should go do your job."Lia hoped frantically that she left her here.Because Lia had a terrible first impression of Ruby. Maybe the third impression. But that sire sealed the deal. She didn't want to stay with her for one more second."Hey, sister, what's your name?"Lia walked faster."Sister, I'm Ruby. What's your name?"She kept yelling.Lia could see people looking at them weirdly.She was embarrassed."Don't shout. Listen, you have to stop following me. You should have some work to do here, right?"Ruby kept following Lia again.L

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

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
