"Where's Xavla?" Mr. Kent asked his wife who was sitting on the sofa. Mrs. Rosa was in a dazed mood when she heard her husband mention her daughter, she instinctively started to look at her husband with a panicked expression.Although a little scared about her husband finding out about her daughter's departure. But right after that, Rosa still tried to be normal. On the outside, she pretends to be angry with her husband, but on the inside, she is secretly worried about her daughter."You ask Xavla what to do?" Instead of answering her husband's question, Ms. Rosa wanted to find out what Mr. Kent's purpose in asking Xavla was to know how to deal with it."I have something to tell Xavla.""What's going on?" Madame Rosa inquired eagerly."It's none of your business. I need to talk to Xavla.""I'm your wife, Xavla's mother, I have a right to know." Mrs. Rosa irritably protested her husband's exclusion."This is a private matter between father and daughter, you don't need to know." Mr. Ken
Soon, the staff in the house were present and presented to Mr. Kent. Mr. Kent didn't take long, questioning each person to see if he knew where Xaval was going. And all the answers Mr. Kent received were the same. They do not see Xaval, because they are forever absorbed in the assigned task. That was, of course, a lie that Rosa had woven, and commanded the servant to speak as she wished.Mr. Kent's anxiety was heightened by the time Xaval had not returned. There was no way he could accept losing his 20% stake to Ramos. If the shares are handed over to the Ramos family, Mr. Kent's leadership position in the company will definitely be replaced. The reason is 20% because they didn't deliver Xaval or Olwen. If you assign Xaval, it will be reduced to 10% of the shares.It is instant death. It is unfortunate that disaster does not suddenly strike. Who caused this error? Or is this karma?Angered at not being able to call Xaval, Mr. Kent suddenly developed a great suspicion. Without hesitati
Trying to hide his uneasiness and anger, Mr. Kent calmly answered the phone."I'm listening, sir.""When are you coming to my place?" Mr. Ramos asked meekly: "I will have an important meeting with my partner in two hours."Before the question is not only to ask but also to urge and remind purposefully. Mr. Kent knows he must behave, speak carefully, and avoid offending the other party."Yes, I'm preparing to come to see you." Mr. Kent respectfully replied: "Please take a moment to talk to me.""I'm waiting for you." Mr. Ramos said: "I always give you time, so rest assured, okay.""Thank you." Mr. Kent politely expressed his gratitude. His attitude now, in Rosa's eyes, was fake."Remember to bring what I ask for." Mr. Ramos suddenly said something important: "I hope you will not let me down."Mr. Kent's face suddenly hardened, before the enemy's implicit threat. Although he couldn't see it, Mr. Kent could feel Mr. Ramos mocking him. This really troubled Mr. Kent. who Worried, offending
"I advise you best to follow Ramos' suggestion. It's a wise and right choice. You can keep looking for Olwen, then bring it to Ramos to bring back Xaval." Mr. Ramos added when he saw Mr. Kent suddenly go silent. According to Mr. Ramos' speculation, Mr. Kent seems to be pondering and thinking."I know that, sir, but the point is Xaval, the girl..." Mr. Kent withdrew his gaze from his wife, then answered hesitantly. He still didn't know what to say to Ramos about Xaval. Had he known Xaval would have run away. The punishment that the Kelly family received, will certainly be much more terrible than before."How's Xaval?" Mr. Ramos cheerfully interrupted: "You don't want to leave her?"Mrs. Rosa had been listening for a while, curious as to why Xaval was in the conversation. And when she saw her husband's stammer, and difficulty speaking, she immediately realized that her husband was being cornered. It is very possible that the fear has happened, that is what Rosa is feeling."The thing is
The silence lasted a long time. Mr. Kent remains unresponsive. Just sit quietly on the sofa, his face full of thought. This made Mrs. Rosa feel unstoppable, she lost her patience."What do we do now? We can't let Xaval suffer." Be aware that Xaval is in danger. Rosa, out of love for Xaval, put aside her pride and asked her husband's opinion.I thought Mr. Kent would answer the question, but he only looked at Rosa once, then returned to silence."Say something. Don't stay silent forever. You're scaring me to death." Mrs. Rosa had an urging: "Do you have a way to save Xaval? If so, please tell me."With a heavy mind, Mr. Kent continued to say nothing. Then he stood up, coldly turned around, and went to his room."Where are you going? Xaval is in danger, what's wrong with being a father?" Ms. Rosa angrily scolded: "Your attitude let me down.""Don't stay there talking nonsense. Hurry up and get ready to go to Ramos' house with me." Mr. Kent stopped, looked back at his wife, and shouted.
Finally, Mr. Kent had to negotiate with Ramos, to temporarily stabilize. He first volunteered to hand over 5% of Kelly's shares to Ramos, leaving Xaval behind Ramos as a hostage. Until Olwen is found, he can take Xaval to Kelly's house and give Ramos another 15% stake. In the end, with no other choice, Mr. Kent lost almost half of his fortune to save his daughter. In addition, Mr. Kent also emphasized the requirement that no one in the Ramos family, especially Jack, touch Xaval, causing physical or mental injury to her. The reason Mr. Kent did this was to make sure Ramos would keep his promise and fulfill the agreement. And of course, to ask for more time to find Olwen. Mr. Kent was even closer, taking extra precautions when he drafted a pledge for Mr. Ramos to sign. Feeling that Mr. Kent's proposal does not harm me, on the contrary, I will get 20% instead of 10% as initially requested. Mr. Ramos has agreed to accommodate Mr. Kent. Jack also has no objection. With Jack, things like co
"Olwen. I'm sorry I didn't anticipate this. There's only such simple food here. Will you bear with it for a moment?"A good negotiator must always know how to change the tone, as well as the attitude. And Luca is very good at accomplishing both elements."I know the situation we're going through. But I really can't take it anymore. I want to eat something else. It doesn't have to be fancy, or luxurious. Just ordinary bread is fine.""As you can see, there are only soup ingredients around. For now, let's eat soup for now. Then I'll...""I don't like that idea." Olwen interrupted Luca who hadn't finished yet: "Are you going to make me eat soup with you for the rest of my life? How can you bear that? I'll soon die young. Starve to death, I don't want that. ."Olwen didn't think anything, just uttered those carefree words. Olwen finished speaking, but Luca didn't reply, just looked at Olwen with a bewildered expression. Suddenly something strange appeared in space. Olwen didn't notice it
A very familiar scene happened again. Olwen sat on the sofa, patiently waiting for the soup Luca would bring to her. Although she didn't like to eat the same food over and over again, Olwen had to endure it. This situation is mandatory. There are conditions, or opportunities to be picky fish to choose soup. Olwen couldn't blame Luca. Luca himself didn't want that either. But Olwen is very simple, eat anything, as long as you feel happy when enjoying the meal. Moreover, Olwen's stomach is showing a fierce expression, will you die if you don't eat or drink? Death makes ghosts fuller than making ghosts hungry. Also, she doesn't want to die yet. Olwen also did not want to torture herself physically, so that her soul would be less painful. She needs to be strong and learns to face what's to come in the future. To do that, Olwen needed to eat, to recharge for a healthy body.While waiting, Olwen felt bored, so she decided to lie back on the sofa, close her eyes and relax. Unexpectedly, Olwe
After leaving the hospital. Luca and Olwen are currently in the car, going to the restaurant. As promised, Luca will buy Olwen delicious food. The atmosphere was silent until Olwen turned to Luca for a request."Luca, something smells really bad. I want some fresh air."Without answering, Luca immediately pressed the button on the car, to roll down the window on Olwen's side.When the glass door was fully opened, Olwen slowly moved her face away from the car and closed her eyes. She felt the breeze blowing gently on her face. It's comfortable.Luca knew what Olwen was doing, so he slowed the car down. The car continued to drive when it accidentally passed a seafood store. The fishy smell of fish wafted through the air, immediately making Olwen want to vomit. Olwen quickly turned her face inside, covering her mouth. Seeing Olwen's condition, Luca worried, pulled over, and stopped the car."Are you okay, Olwen?" Luca stroked Olwen's back lightly and received a weak nod from Olwen. Unexp
Seeing the surprised looks that both Rosa and Xaval were giving her, Olwen felt extremely satisfied and did not want to see their faces anymore. So Olwen wanted to get out of here quickly."Luca, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat something and then go home?" Olwen also wanted to stop being unsightly and affecting others before she turned to him."Of course." He said fondly to her, "What should we eat?""Whatever." She was excited but immediately dismayed at his tough attitude."It can't be arbitrary." He scolded gently: "You need to nourish your body. That's enough nutrients for the fetus. You and I need to be healthy, you know?""Then I'll listen to you." Olwen smiled in agreement."Yes, baby." Luca patted her head again.Then he stood up and held out his hand to her. But before the two could walk, Rosa's voice spoke. She didn't want to give up, but in a moment of loss of control, thoughtlessness did something stupid. It was to anger the sleeping demon."You're doing well, Olwen Kelly. You
Rosa and Xaval widened their eyes, gaping in disbelief that Luca Watson was sitting down beside Olwen. He also tenderly cares for her. Luca's gestures and actions for Olwen are completely different from others.Olwen, after a moment of confusion, shook her head and smiled at Luca:"I feel better. Where have you been for so long?""Sorry to keep you waiting, I was on the phone with my partner so it took some time." Luca has an explanation: "You're not mad at me are you?""It's okay, you have a job, you can't think about me all the time." Olwen showed sympathy: "Where's my country?"Oh damn, he said he went to buy water and came back empty-handed.The phone conversation made Luca forget what he was up to. Olwen looked around to see if Luca's hand was wet. Meanwhile Luca, confused, justifies:"Sorry friend. I was on the phone for so long, I forgot to buy you water."Immediately Olwen pouted sulkily, with a reproach:"I'm thirsty and my throat is dry."Look at Olwen's childish face. Lovel
Today is the weekend, off work. That's why Luca took Olwen on a date, and by the way, stopped by the hospital for a prenatal check-up."The fetus is developing very well. The mother needs to be careful not to stress her mind." The doctor said the results after Olwen finished the ultrasound."Yes, thank you, doctor," Olwen replied with a small smile."Are you done, Doctor?" Luca asked. He was sitting next to Olwen."That's right." The doctor replied."Olwen, let's go." Luca turned to Olwen to urge."Yes." Olwen followed Luca from the chair but was unsteady due to her leg suddenly cramping.Luca panicked and caught Olwen's wobbly body before she fell."What's the matter with you?""Looks like my leg is cramping," Olwen said, her face slightly contorted from the pain.“Let me guide you.”Olwen nodded slightly accepting the help. Leaving the room, Luca let Olwen sit down in a chair, outside the clinic.“Sit here and rest for a while. Do you need anything?" Luca asked kindly."I feel thirs
"I canceled the engagement," Luca stated emphatically. He gripped Olwen's hands tightly, to prevent her from getting agitated."Why?" As Luca had speculated, Olwen had interrogated him. And precisely because the prediction was correct, Luca also had the answer. An answer comes from his heart."Because I don't want to be in that arranged marriage. I don't want to marry anyone other than you.""Your father and mother will be very upset. They won't support your decision." Olwen expressed concern. She is putting herself in your shoes, Mrs. Watson said."I wouldn't care," Luca replied firmly."You will lose everything you have." Olwen warned gravely: "You will become poor. You will even lose the family of your dreams.""I just need you alone is enough." Luca said this with a sincere smile: "I'm willing to give up all that. Either way, it didn't matter to me in the first place.""So Olwen, don't leave me." Looking deep into Olwen's eyes, Luca begged: "Please."There is nothing more to valid
"Luca. So you're here." Kaylin called out bravely, then walked over to Luca."What do you want?" Luca asked coldly as Kaylin stood beside him."I just wanted to apologize to you." Kaylin gets to the point: "It seems like my mother's and father's expectations have made you uncomfortable. As for the engagement, it's been annulled."Kaylin did not mention that she liked Luca. Partly out of embarrassment, partly because he didn't want Luca to know. If Luca knew he would probably stay away from Kaylin, and stop seeing her as a friend. And that's what Kaylin didn't want to happen."Hmm." That was the expression that Luca represented. Very indifferent and somewhat cruel, making Luca feel sorry for himself.Realizing Luca didn't want to talk, Kaylin decided to leave."I'm sorry," Luca spoke up to make Kaylin stop. He said not to look at Kaylin."No, it's not your fault." Kaylin hesitantly explained: "It's only because of me that my father and mother are like that.""Forget about that." Luca f
Tomorrow.As planned, the Watsons called Mr. and Mrs. Scott to talk. Currently in the living room are Luca and Luca's mother and father. On Scott's side were Kaylin and Kaylin's mother and father."Today, we invite you here to have something to talk about." Mr. Edgar spoke on behalf of Mr. His expression looked very serious."Yes, we know. I didn't expect you to want to talk to us so soon." Kaylin's mother said casually. In her heart she was very happy, she assumed that the Watsons had agreed to her request: "So about the two children, what do you guys think? The engagement should take place at the time. Which is appropriate? You can suggest, if we see it, we will have no objection."Kaylin's mother raised a series of questions and used expectant eyes. Looking over at Kaylin, Mrs. Zelda saw the same thing. Even Kaylin was a little embarrassed.When the question was asked, the silence broke in. There was a bit of confusion on the part of Watson. But before Mr. Edgar made a decision, Lu
"What do you think that means?" It was not Mrs. Zelda who asked, but Alan. He is listening to the conversation."There are two possibilities." Luca made his reasoning clear: "One, Olwen actually came to the company to see me. She called ahead of time, but I was busy at the time. However, for some reason, it could be Olwen. There was a problem on the way so she couldn't come. Her phone might be broken so I couldn't reach her.""Which could also be the worst thing I'm afraid has happened." Luca finished his sentence with an uneasy voice, he even bit his lip to stay calm."If that's the case, we need to contact the hospitals, and the police department for assistance in finding Olwen." Alan said about the solution for the first possibility: "I will also send someone to Ramos, Kelly's house to investigate.""You're right, but I don't expect this to happen." Luca sincerely said."I understand and like you, I don't want that to happen. Hopefully, the outcome of the investigation will be posi
"What did you say?" Luca immediately interrogated: "Is that correct?""Exactly." Alan confirmed firmly: "The security department has checked very carefully. Actually, Olwen did not appear at the company today.""Impossible." Luca muttered, looking very bewildered: "If that's true, where did Olwen go? She must keep in touch with me.""Did Olwen lie about coming to the company?" Alan said about his doubts."Why does Olwen have to lie?" Luca asked bewilderedly. This problem is getting more and more complicated, and very difficult to understand. Despite that, Luca had complete confidence in Olwen: "Olwen is not a liar. Definitely not.""I don't know how to explain this either." Sighing, Alan shared his assessment: "It's true that Olwen didn't come to work, but she said she did. And now Olwen isn't home. I don't think this is normal. Probably. There must be some reason.""What's the reason for that?" Luca wondered and fell into a pensive state. What did Luca not know?"Did you and Olwen ha
