"Nicholas, is that you?"Josephine's eyes widened, seeing who was the one who let go of her hand from Lucas' grip and pulled her waist away.Nicholas nodded with a smile. He still held Josephine's waist in his hands. "Hi, Baby," Nicholas said casually. "What happened?"Josephine thought quickly of using Nicholas' presence as an excuse to stay away from Lucas. He turned to Lucas."I was about to leave, but he stopped me," said Josephine flatly.Nicholas's brow furrowed and he glared at Lucas fiercely. "Why are you holding my lover from leaving?" asked Nicholas coldly. He took Josephine's hand that had been held by Lucas and became even more irritated. "You even made these precious hands turn this red!"Lucas realized that he might hurt Josephine because of his strong grip and quickly approached Josephine again to check her hand, but Nicholas' tall build prevented him."Move," Lucas snapped. "I have to check on Josephine. I didn't mean to hurt her."Nicholas pushed Lucas so that he fell
"I am the leader of the Gold Dragon, a mafia clan that was founded decades ago by my great great great great-grandfather, long before the McKenzie and Adams generation were born. I don't know who founded it and how Gold Dragon was born, but leadership has always been left to the sons. The eldest of the previous leaders," Nicholas said in a calm and clear voice."M-mafia?" whispered Josephine nervously. "But, what about the Genesis Group? You are the President of Genesis Group, did you?""The Genesis Group and the Gold Dragon are like the concepts of yin and yang, describing the nature of the interconnected and opposing forces and how the two forces complement and build upon one another. These two are inseparable, interrelated and complementary to each other."Josephine tried to digest what Nicholas had said without prejudice, but she had to admit that her heart trembled. Josephine only knows that the mafia world is a dark and cruel world."What are you doing with the Black Dragon?"
"You're not Rain Damian," muttered Josephine.Nicholas chuckled. "You're not Flower either."Josephine feeling betrayed. She thought, the triplets conspired with Nicholas to lie to her, saying they want to have dinner with Josephine, but they trapped her to meet Nicholas."Why did you do that, Nicholas? You don't have to have the kids lie to me, saying they want to have dinner with me, just to ask me to meet," said Josephine.Nicholas's eyebrows rose and he stepped closer to Josephine. "Josephine, what do you think of me having changed so badly in just a few days after you found out I was a mobster? " asked Nicholas coldly."You think this is my plan? Having the kids lie to you just to bring you here and meet you? Why do I have to do that when I can kidnap you directly to bring you to the mansion? I'm a mobster, you know, right? I can do anything and stay safe! There's no need to take advantage of the children."Josephine was stunned to hear Nicholas' words. "I mean, why did you--""F
"Baby, Rocco will be arriving tomorrow evening. He will start work at Farline on Monday. You can take your breath away for a moment, don't push yourself too hard," Nicholas said while stroking Josephine's hair.Josephine looked up and her tired eyes shone. "Oh, thank goodness. I'm starting to get overwhelmed here.There are too many things that are messy and need to be cleaned up," Josephine said, pointing to the papers scattered on her desk.Nicholas sat in the chair in front of Josephine's desk and wondered if he had made the right decision to transfer Farline Tech to Josephine.He was worried, instead putting great pressure on Josephine. However, Rocco had promised to help Josephine completely.He remembered their chat via Skype, a few days earlier.-Flashback-"My nephew will be running the cafe," Rocco said in a relieved tone. "So I can leave in peace.""That's great then. Just tell Ben or Win what you need either there or for you here. They'll have it ready right away," Nicholas
"I saw Anna Reding, the fat carpenter, walking hand in hand with the handsome doctor you're after," said Ellie, Janeth's classmate. "They look very intimate.""Anna Reding, daughter of the Reding family of the Reding Artwork Group?" asked Janeth to make sure.Ellie nodded firmly. "Yes, there she is. I saw her article when she had an exhibition in London two years ago and the Queen of England bought a dresser made of her."Janeth clenched her fists in annoyance. So the news is true. Ellie wasn't the only one who said she saw Anna Reding and Lynner Hardy together, looking as passionate as lovers. Other friends also delivered the same news several times, such as pouring gasoline on the fire.Since the embarrassing incident at Lynn's birthday party, Janeth hasn't dared to stand out too much. That incident embarrassed her half to death and really made her lose her self-esteem.Her friends tried to cheer her up, but Janeth somehow felt they weren't being sincere. Her enemies were obvious
"Grenryn City Zoo?" asked Josephine with a frown. "Why so far away? Metronine also has a zoo.""Oh, come on, mom, the Greneryn City Zoo is not just an ordinary zoo, where we only see animals in cages. In this zoo, safari tours are also held, looking at wild animals outside the car we are riding in," said Sky enthusiastically."Is it safe?" asked Josephine worriedly."Of course it's safe. We'll take the designated safari car," supported Flower.Josephine stared at the triplets who looked happy. "Ah, well, I'll allow it. Now let me talk to your homeroom teachers, Sky and Flower, about the technicalities. I also want Rain to come on this field trip.""Rain and mommy can come along," said Flower happily. "The school is holding this field trip as part of a family day, so the participants are children and parents, a minimum of four people and a maximum of six people. We can even invite uncle Nicholas.""Oh dear, Uncle Nicholas has been very busy lately, he probably won't make it."The tripl
"Why are you doing something like this, Lindsay? Do you want to kill me and those kids?" asked Josephine angrily.Lindsay knew what Josephine meant, but she didn't want to look guilty. "What do you mean, Josephine? I came to see you and your children, why are you even angry at me? You are so ungrateful to someone who cares for you!"Josephine smiled sinisterly. "Just take off your ugly mask, Lindsay. You don't have to pretend to be nice. Given your true nature, I'm sure you must be tired of having to act like kind one all the time."Lindsay's face was bright red and she restrained herself from attacking Josephine. She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white, but her lips still smiled sweetly."Josephine, come on, don't be mean to me. We are sisters after all and besides, you shouldn't accuse someone so casually."Josephine turned to Lucas with raised eyebrows. "And you, what are you here for?"Lucas was surprised by Josephine's curtness. After learning that the diary that L
Josephine smiled looking at the contents of the paper in her hand. She looked at Lindsay quietly. "How can this be proof that my children are Lucas' children? You can't even see any names on this paper."Lindsay realized her folly. She took the paper from Josephine's hand and read it again. "But these are clearly the results of your children's DNA tests," Lindsay said. Her voice turned into a doubtful one. "I always suspected that they were your children.""Yes, you're right about that. These are the results of my children's DNA tests. They are non identical triplets. But as for who the father is, did you see a man's name on it?" Josephine demanded. "Careful Lindsay, you could get caught up in a game of your own making!"Lindsay's hesitation turned into anger and a feeling of being played with. "Why did you hide that they are your children?"Josephine looked at Lindsay with a feigned surprise. "You're really asking why? Oh, come on, Lindsay, you think I'm going to give you guys a chan
