This place wasn't like a bar or restaurant. It was luxuriously decorated and quiet, with one or two people dropping in from time to time. Mia was puzzled, asking: - What kind of place is this? - A bar. Serge pulled her towards the private room at the end of the corridor. Mia frowned. - I've rarely seen such a quiet bar. - It's a private bar and it's not open to the public, only to certain people, Serge explained, it's quiet here. - Okay. They reached the private room in an instant, and Serge pushed open the door. The room was large and a little dull with its warm yellow light. At the far end was a black leather sofa. There was a round table at the front, with two bottles of red wine and two glasses on it. Mia looked at Serge and asked: - Did you arrange all this in advance? Serge was stiff for a moment, but replied naturally: - I'm a VIP guest here and this is my private room reserved. The wines were stored here by me too. Mia entered the room. - I remember you don't lik
After entering the room, Joseph put Mia on the bed.He then went into the bathroom· and moistened a towel so Mia could wipe her face. The more he looked at her, the angrier he got. Joseph threw down the towel and stood in front of Mia. He asked her:- What happened? Why are you like this?Mia shivered as she remembered what Serge had done to her.She couldn't think of any words to tell Joseph what had happened to her. She didn't know where to start.- Tell me.Joseph grabbed Mia's shoulders and looked her in the eye, continuing:- Did you sleep with him?His eyes suddenly turned dark.Mia shook her head.If she didn't wake up in time... She didn't dare imagine what would happen next.She'd never expected Serge to act this way.Joseph's eyes always remained dark and deep.- Who did this to you?Mia pursed her lips and remained silent.She hugged herself, shivering.-
Afterwards, he received another message from Paul. He looks down at his phone, head bowed:"The Private Club doesn't have a surveillance camera in the room. There are only the corridors equipped with cameras. These photos taken are Miss Mia.""Leila came there before last night."It was clear to Joseph that what happened to Mia had something to do with Leila. In other words, what happened to Mia was plotted by Leila. Mia knows that Leila has bad intentions towards her and that she has to be careful not to fall into her trap.He clicks on the video with curiosity:Mia stumbles and runs down the corridor. She's panicked.- Mia...Soon he saw who was running after her.It was Serge!His expression changed and his gaze turned cold.They were so daring! They worked together to hurt Mia.Seeing his murderous gaze, Remy was terrified, but pretending not to be afraid, he stammered:- Don't, don't think I'm afraid of you!Joseph stared at him:- Someone hurt your mommy. Do you want revenge?Re
Mia was speechless.She didn't answer, because she didn't have much to do and Adam would come later.Sylvie could take care of the store.It had been a long time since she'd been so free.After giving birth to Remy and Julie, she had to prepare for the exam, and then she had to work. She hadn't relaxed in several years. She could use these days to rest.She leaned back in the chair, removed her hand from Joseph and said:- Drive carefully.After Mia withdrew her hand, Joseph felt like something was missing, even as he clung to the steering wheel. He felt the emptiness, and only when he was closer to this woman would he feel more complete.The light was red at the crossroads. He seemed to unconsciously place his hand on Mia's thigh. She was speechless...This man...He even began to grasp her gently and before Mia could push away, he said:- We're married.- If you won't sleep with me, at least let me touch you, he thought.He was an ordinary man and she couldn't expect him to be a mon
Joseph looked up as he fell on Mia's hand covering her chest and asked:- Are you scalded?Mia turned around, because she couldn't stand the look in his eyes.- No.After saying that, she headed for the office and sat down on the sofa. She bent down to pull out some tissues and wiped the water stains from her neck.Suddenly, her vision was blocked. Joseph came in unexpectedly. Mia coughed slightly before saying:- Why are you here? You've got so much to do.When Mia offered him a glass of water, she saw that a huge stack of documents was waiting to be signed on Joseph's desk.Joseph seemed to hear nothing and grabbed the tissue from Mia's hand.- I'll wipe it for you.- No need.Mia tried to grab the tissue from Joseph's hand, but missed as Joseph raised his hand.- Be good.Joseph crouched down in front of her. He gently tugged at her collar to wipe the water stains from her skin.Joseph looked down, gently wiping it away, and he looked solemn. Mia went into a light trance for a few
Joseph raised his hand and looked at the watch. About fourteen hours had passed since the incident, he was quick.He held the phone in his hands, slowly gathering his thoughts.Not hearing Joseph's voice, Remy worried a little. After all, Serge was at home, so he couldn't dare say anything to Jeanne, in case she couldn't keep it in her stomach and accidentally let it slip at the wrong moment. It wasn't good if Serge found out.- Should I call the police? asked Remy.- The police? Why? asked Joseph, looking at Mia for a moment.Remy had nothing to say.Now that there was no proof, this video could never be published. Anyway, there's just a small part in the video that can't explain much.- So what? asked Remy anxiously.Joseph leaned nonchalantly on the table, rubbing the edge of the table with his fingers, and thought for a while. Then he asked:- Do you want to avenge your mom?- Yes, said Remy without the slightest hesitation.- Even if it puts you in danger?Remy was a little taken
Seeing Remy take off his pants, Serge instinctively turned around.Remy secretly took out Serge's phone and tried to dial Joseph's number while observing his movements.He had a good memory and could remember things like numbers particularly easily after seeing them once or twice.Just as he pressed the number, Serge suddenly said:- Hurry up!Remy answered "yes" and finished dialing.Suddenly, Serge turned around. Fortunately, he was slow enough to give Remy time to hide the phone. The latter quickly continued to hold his stomach and pretend to be in pain.- Remy.- Yeah.Remy groaned in pain as he clutched his stomach.- Is it okay if I marry your mom?Serge asked shyly.What the hell was that?- Of course, I don't want you to marry Mom. I'd rather Mom be with that ungrateful man than with you, Remy thought angrily.But he couldn't say it, so he pretended to be obedient and replied:- It'll be... great.Saying something against his heart, Remy felt nauseous.- Really?Serge was stil
- What nonsense are you talking about? Serge didn't want to be seen like that. Even if she was right. - Okay, forget it. Linda didn't want to argue with him either. It wasn't the right time to argue about it anyway. She needed to think urgently about how to handle the current situation. Jeanne had escaped and Mia was about to find out. - Where had Jeanne escaped? Linda asked. - The river just outside the village. The place was very close to here. If Jeanne provided clues, Mia would be able to find this village very quickly. Linda was afraid that it wouldn't be safe for them here anymore. They couldn't hide Remy here. - We must leave and find another place to hide Remy. Linda squinted, continuing: - The farther we can go, the better it is. Mia can never find him. Remy was her son. If she found out her son was lost or dead, she'd go completely mad. - Our plan is just to kidnap him and blackmail her until she marries me, then set him free... - And then what? Linda interru
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
- 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
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
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
- 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
