- Who is here?

Serge didn't want to open the door because he wasn't sure who was knocking at the door.

Mia looked at the door. Her heart was beating. She wondered if Joseph had followed them here.

She was full of expectation.

The person behind the door was quite impatient. He knocked on the door again with loud knocks.

- Open the door now! Or we'll break in!

Serge seemed to realize who was behind the door. He swore in a low voice:

- How come there are agents here?

He turned around and put Mia in the blanket. He said:

- No matter who comes through the door, you must not make any noise.

Mia heard his swearing earlier, so she knew it wasn't Joseph outside.

In fact, she doubted that Joseph would come find her.

She had so many insecurities about herself.

After all, they had been apart for so long.

However, she still had a glimmer of hope, hoping and waiting for his rescue.

Since she wasn't sure she could escape successfully now, she didn't want to expose her intention to Serg

    Lucas's men grabbed Clelia just after she came home from the hospital. They then took her to the small apartment.- Is this your house? asked Norbert.Although he knew the answer, he asked her the question to see if she was an honest woman.Clelia looked at the men in the room and answered honestly:- Yes, this is my place.She was quite intelligent. Serge, who had stayed here, didn't seem like an ordinary man, just like the men in her house now.- Who had stayed here before? asked Norbert again.- I don't know them. The man gave me money to stay here. There was a woman with him.Clelia didn't dare lie at all.Joseph, sitting on the sofa, closed his eyes at Clelia's words, frowning deeply.Norbert glanced at Joseph and asked: - Where are they now?- They've gone. The woman was wounded. They went to see a doctor at the hospital, and she was fine. Then she was taken away.Norbert's eyelid twitched fiercely.So, Mia really was hurt, wasn't she?He cautiously cast another glance at Josep

    - Miss Lambert? Miss Lambert?In a daze, Mia heard someone calling her name. She gradually opened her eyes, to discover Caroline standing beside her bed, her head stretched out. Seeing that Mia had opened her eyes, she said with a smile:- You're awake.Mia moved a little and sat up on the bed. She rubbed her eyes to sober up and asked:- What time is it now?- It's midday. You've slept for a whole morning. You should eat something.Caroline was quite respectful towards her, as the young master had asked her to take good care of Mia.- Could you pass me some water, please?Mia wasn't hungry at all, just felt that her throat had been sore since she'd woken up.- Okay.Caroline turned and brought her some water.Watching her walk away, Mia lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Her injured foot was wrapped in a bandage, and the twisted ankle was still red and swollen. She squeezed it lightly with her fingers, it hurt like hell. Frowning, she realized she wouldn't be able to recover quic

    - What are you doing? Caroline asked, staring at Mia who was standing in the living room and was about to make a call via the landline.With a glass of water in her hand, Caroline stood at the kitchen door.On the other end of the line, Remy heard a female voice different from his mother's. He tried to calm down, but at that moment he couldn't. He asked in a slightly trembling voice:- Mom, is that you?Mia couldn't say a word. Hearing Remy's voice, she wanted to answer her son, ignoring Caroline's question. She wanted to tell him not to worry and that she was fine. However, Caroline rushed over, picked up the phone and immediately hung up.- Miss Lambert, the young master said you can't make a call. Have you forgotten? she asked.Mia looked at Caroline.- It's true that your young master saved me. But it doesn't allow me to contact my family. Don't you think he went too far in doing this?Indeed, it made no sense. However, Caroline believed that Raphaël had his reasons for doing this

    - I'm sure it was mom who called me, Remy said affirmatively.Lucas looked at Joseph and exchanged a look with him. Joseph asked:- Can you find its location?- The call was only connected for a few seconds. I can't find the exact location, but I was able to find the area of the number, Lucas said.- If I call this number again, we can't find the exact location?Remy couldn't suppress his excitement at all. All he wanted was to find mom as quickly as possible.Joseph grabbed Remy's hand, increasing his strength slightly, and pulled the boy into his arms. Remy wanted to struggle, but Joseph pressed on his shoulders.- If your mom is free, she will definitely contact you. But after the call was connected, she didn't speak, but you heard another person's voice. This means she is not free now. If you suddenly recalled her, what would happen if the bad guy transferred her?Remy had to admit that Joseph's words made sense. If mom was free, she would get in touch with him. Since she hadn't c

    - Can I see mom now?Joseph held Julie in his arms as he entered the hotel. She asked the question because she thought they had arrived at the destination and were going to meet Mia soon.Joseph froze a little. Then he returned to normal.- She plays hide and seek with us. She wants us to look for her. Now we haven't found her yet.Julie pouted.- I see.Toveira was not a big city. It was originally a county, but it was more like a big family, which belonged to the Jacquet Group.This hotel was not a five star hotel, but it was nice in terms of environment, hygiene and service.Lucas held Remy who was still sleeping in his arms, followed by a few men who held the suitcases for them.- This is the best hotel in Toveira. But it's not a big hotel. I hope it does not bother you.Joseph had never stayed in a hotel like this before.- This place is good, isn't it?Julie blinked. She didn't understand why Uncle Lucas had said that.Joseph hugged Julie's head so she wouldn't hear their conver

    Mia was indeed very surprised. She wasn't surprised by the dress, but she was curious where he found the taffeta.She put the dress back in the box and asked:- I'm curious. Where did you find this fabric?- Do you like it? Raphael asked.He chose this fabric deliberately, because all fashion designers love good fabrics.He didn't think Mia would be an exception.Mia was definitely interested, but she didn't really show it. She lowered her head and continued to rub her ankle.Raphaël's gaze gradually settled on her foot. She was fair-skinned and so were her feet. Her ankles were quite delicate. Mia felt a gaze on her feet. She reached out and pulled the sheet to cover them.Raphael tilted his head slightly, looking a little embarrassed because he was lost in thought while looking at her feet just now.- I know a master who can make this fabric...- You know him?Mia's eyes widened. Before he finished speaking, she interrupted him excitedly:- Where is the master? I also want to know

    His gaze fell carelessly downward. Joseph could only see the heads of the crowd. Frowning, he withdrew his gaze.- Hello, Mr. Cosey!Joseph turned around, seeing that the mayor was heading towards him. The mayor smiled and said:- I thought I saw an illusion. It's really you, Mr. Cosey. Are you also here for the Jacquet Group annual meeting?He was quite uncertain, because he had not heard that there was cooperation between Summit Group and Jacquet Group.Raphael was young and exceptional, and Joseph was the best of the younger generation.Joseph told his daughter to wait a moment and hung up the phone.- No I'm not.When he responded, the gentle look on his face disappeared immediately. He put on his socializing mask as usual.The mayor held out his hand.- It is a great pleasure to meet you here.Joseph extended his right hand and shook the mayor's hand. It didn't take long. They removed their hands quickly.Joseph didn't want to waste time here with him. However, he had to take int

    Time has stopped.Mia stood there and swayed as if she was about to collapse.Joseph stared at Mia's desperate gaze and spoke word by word:- That night, that man was me.She was stunned by Joseph's words and was thrown into confusion as if struck by lightning.She stood, rooted to the ground.- What... What did you say? How is this possible, how is it possible that it's you?She said, covering her face with her hands while crying and laughing at the same time.It was incredible, she walked up and down wondering how this could be.- At the time, Serge investigated for me, he said... he said it was a native that night, how could this man be you?Mia's leg accidentally hit the edge of the bed, she tumbled onto the bed and rubbed her hair vigorously.Joseph grabbed Mia's hand, held her chin, and forced her to look at him.- What did you say? Have you done any research?There were still remnants of tears in Mia's eyes.She looked at him with fear and anxiety, her mouth was as if it contai

    Justin was acting mysteriously:- Once you've seen the person, you'll know who she is. Now eat your lunch.- So when can she come back? asked Mia.She was slightly emotional, but also full of questions.- Do I know this person?- I see you're usually quite calm and collected, why are you so anxious now?The old man's tone was serious.- Be patient, said Justin, rising to his feet. Eat a little more.Mia shook her head, she was too anxious. The fact that he was telling her all this today meant he was ready to tell her everything she wanted to know.Now all she had to do was wait patiently for his sister to arrive, and maybe the fog and confusion surrounding her would lift.Compared to the calm of the courtyard, the garden was bustling with activity.Since Mia wanted to stay, Raphaël didn't leave either. He hadn't brought many people with him, only his assistant Cyril. Compared to the many people surrounding Joseph, he seemed to be weaker.The stream was trickling, the surface of the wa

  • My Possessive Husband CEO   Who was his sister?

    - You are...- Mr Justin, we're here to learn how taffeta is made.Raphaël spoke first, explaining the purpose of their visit.Justin looked at the people standing at the entrance. He squinted his eyes, one could see his wrinkles. His eyes were deep, he entered the house.- Let's go in.The living room of the wooden house was small, it couldn't accommodate all the people. The security guards didn't enter as they stood outside.Even then, the house was crowded after they entered.The design of the house was simple, it was an antique style, there were eight chairs in the living room. A few drawings hung on the wall on both sides. They didn't match each other and looked messy. A table was placed in the middle. Justin sat down by it.He picked up a cigarette and lit it,- Who wants to learn from me?Mia held Remy's hand and stepped forward, saying sincerely:- I want to learn from you how to make taffeta. If you are willing to do so, be the master of my company. The pay is up to you.He s

    - Why do you think Sylvie came with me? Because we are in love and I brought her here. I think today, the sun is shining and the weather is glorious, it is indeed a good day, so I choose to tell you that Sylvie and I are in love today, said Norbert with a lot of seriousness and energy.Mia didn't say anything. As the saying goes, everything can be ruined, except marriage. So she just told Norbert:- Since you've decided, forget what happened before and treat Sylvie well.Sylvie immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her head.- Mia, I... didn't deliberately hide this from you...- Okay, it's getting late, let's eat first.She would not blame Sylvie; after all, she was an adult and should have known what she was doing. The only thing that concerned her was that Norbert might hurt her.As they had not known each other for long, Norbert was so fickle that Sylvie could get hurt by him.Sylvie tapped Norbert's hand and went to Mia, saying,- Mia.Mia put her arms around Sylvie's shoulder

  • My Possessive Husband CEO   You will pay me back

    Norbert was tense, because Sylvie was Mia's friend. How would he explain this?- Stop crying, please.Norbert approached her to comfort her, but as soon as his hand touched Sylvie's shoulder, she pushed him away and cried out,- Get away from me! I don't want to see you anymore!She couldn't help shivering as she recalled what had happened the night before.Norbert's face changed, but he did not show his displeasure. After all, as a man, he had not suffered any loss in this matter.Not to mention that it was not the first time he had made love with a woman, but for Sylvie, it was the first time she had slept with a man.In a delirious state, she had lost the most valuable thing as a woman. So, he did not get angry even when she raised her voice.- Mia is outside and just knocked on the door.Norbert looked at her intently. He hoped she could calm down and resolve the most urgent problem first.Sylvie's tears suddenly stopped. She raised her reddened eyes.- So?Oh, no. It was so shame

  • My Possessive Husband CEO   You ruined me

    In hindsight, Sylvie realized that Norbert was deliberately making Mia drink, but as to why he was forcing her to do so, she didn't understand.- It's not proper for you to do that.Sylvie glanced at Norbert.- As a man, how can you deliberately make a woman drink? It's a terrible thing. Fortunately, Mia is intelligent because she can see through your trick in the blink of an eye.Norbert was now embarrassed. Wasn't he just helping his friend?This woman daringly accused him.He pulled the chair and sat next to Sylvie, saying:- What do you know? Huh, you dare to accuse me?He deliberately sat close to her, and when he spoke, the alcoholic breath overwhelmed her. She frowned.- Get out!- Where are you going? It's just a small place.Norbert approached her and his mouth was even closer to Sylvie's face.Lucas shook his head. It was obvious that Norbert was flirting with her. He didn't want to be the fifth wheel, so he discreetly got up and left the room.Seeing the others leaving, Syl

    Norbert and Sylvie were sitting at the window seat. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.Norbert looked exhausted. When he saw them come in, he lunged at them without caring about his image.- You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for half a day.Lucas pushed him away with disgust.- Are you lost? What took you so long?Norbert had said he had been gone for a long time and that he should have arrived early.While talking, Lucas glanced at Sylvie walking towards Mia. Why did Norbert bring her here too? What has this guy done to her?Norbert was upset, he didn't notice Lucas's strange look. When he came, he had been caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when he wanted to get married, otherwise she wouldn't have let him out.He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year, and he managed to get out only after saying that.So he was delayed.The main problem was that he didn't even hav

    Mia was about to explain the situation when the saleswoman interrupted:- Odile, don't listen to her. She's the one who brought these people here and who's putting this place in chaos. You'd better find someone and stop them all.Mia frowned.Joseph brought Julie over to Mia:- Go wait for me in the car.He was going to handle these things. As much as he wanted to train his son in courage, he didn't want his daughter exposed to this. Girls have to be protected in this case.Mia carried her daughter in her arms. She was about to leave when Odile, the saleswoman's cousin, stopped her:- We're embarrassed about the case because of you. How will things work out if you leave?Joseph raised his head, giving her a murderous look.- Talk with me, he said indifferently.His deep voice and indifference dominated, and when Odile met Joseph's eyes, she felt shy. He looked even more imposing than Raphaël. At the sight of his handsome face, she felt dizzy.He gave an impression of mysterious oppres

    Joseph felt like the saddest man in the world. He hugged his wife, but he couldn't make love to her.Her hair brushed his face and her scent of shampoo wafted through the air, he kissed the back of her neck.Half of Mia's face was buried in the pillow. Looking at her sleeping son and daughter, she touched their cheeks.At the thought of the scene from her first time with Joseph. She wasn't feeling well, but morose.- Joseph, how many women have you slept with?She didn't know why, but thinking he'd made love to other women made her feel sad.This was the first man in her life.Although she tried not to think about it, it was still difficult.It's true that she's sentimental.She's always had a special affection for this man.This question made Joseph stop kissing her.- Why are you asking all of a sudden? he said, his voice even a little hoarse.Mia buried her face deeper into the pillow:- Nothing, I'd just like to know. Well. I'm sleepy. Let's sleep first.However, Joseph didn't fee

  • My Possessive Husband CEO   I want to sleep with you

    - I never pursued a woman. Anyway, do you still need to?Joseph already had a wife and children.Pursue a woman?Who?Lucas opened his eyes wide. - Are you...But Lucas didn't think Joseph was that kind of playboy. He'd been anxious when Mia had gotten lost, he must have loved her a lot.Joseph frowned, remembering Mia's piercing eyesight. He really wanted to please her.Lucas glanced at him and asked cautiously:- Doesn't Mia want to be with you?Joseph returned a cold look.Even if Mia didn't want to be with him, Joseph couldn't tell him, could he?Lucas spoke. - You should ask Norbert how to please a woman.Ding!Just then, the elevator returned to its original position. The elevator door opened.In the lobby, Mia didn't go into the VIP room, she stayed there and talked with Raphaël. Joseph stayed away from them, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. His face changed when he saw them talking.He walked forward. Lucas slowed his pace and kept his distance.Joseph looked u
