Jacob drove to his mother’s house. The two guards remained outside of the house, clearly waiting for him to come. Once they saw his car, they straightened their backs.

Jacob parked his car outside as he didn’t intend to stay long there. He approached the guards. 

When Jacob nodded at them, both of the guards bowed their heads a little. “Sir?”

“Okay, you two can leave now.”

“Yes, sir!” Both of them immediately left. Clearly, they didn’t enjoy guarding his mother.

Tanya wasn’t in her bedroom when he entered the house. So, he walked around. Finally, he found her on the balcony. She was drawing a few sketches. As it was a new season, the fashion house had to prepare new clothes soon.

    Harold raised Emily’s chin with a hand and looked into her eyes. “My dear, don’t be afraid. If you don’t know the father of your baby, I can be one.”Gaping, Emily gazed at Harold. The stranger stared back at her without blinking. He seemed serious. But how could he do that? They were practically strangers! Why did he offer her to be the father of her baby?As if he could read her mind, Harold said further, “I’ll marry you, so your baby will be mine. None will dare to ask you anything. As my wife, everyone will think it’s normal for you to get pregnant and give birth to my children.” He even grinned. “Jimmy, my personal doctor, even thought I was the father of the baby.”She shook her head and then bent it a little because she couldn’t look at h

Some even doubt I have a heart.” He chuckled and shrugged. “I don’t blame them because sometimes I even think they’re right.”“No, it’s not true.” She shook her head and squeezed his hand. “You’re not cold-hearted. You’re so kind and nice.”This time, he laughed aloud until his head bent backward. “Oh, Emily! You’re the second person to tell me that.”“She is the first?”Harold nodded. “Yes.”

    “About him with a woman.” She gulped. “I couldn’t see the woman’s face, but it’s clear it was him. He was with another woman.”Harold frowned to hear it. “With a woman? What do you mean?”Emily let out a sigh. “You know, he and the woman slept together.”“Ah, an affair. Okay, did you show him the video?”“I did.” She nodded.“And?” He raised his eyebrow.“He denied it was him. He said it was a made up video.”Harold crossed his arms over his chest. “Did you believe him?”

It was symbolic as they already knew the leader’s replacement, starting from Jacob’s failed wedding day.The Ames family (Al’s cousins and uncles) sat at a different table. Despite being the same blood, Arturo never considered them too high because he saw and acknowledged people based on their competence, not by blood. It was a trait that made Arturo highly respected by ten families who were under his leadership.On the primary table, other than Jacob, Arturo, Al, the head of ten families sat there. The Gold Cleaner comprised people from various countries, but they already lived in the capital of their country here and left their original nationalities. They shook han

His body was less tense than before. “I’ll tell you the last reason I selected him.”Some leaders stared at Arturo. The rest of them even bent his body a little as they were curious.“Did you know we once kidnapped his old man?” Arturo said.

Both of them sat in the living room of the Gold Cleaner’s headquarters with a glass of wine for each of them.“Have you found anything about Emily?” Jacob asked as Al was the one in charge to find news about Emily.“Nothing,” the younger man said. “It’s as if she vanished into the air. It’s weird that I already sent our men to nearby cities and towns. None of them reports anything yet.”Jacob blew his breath and shook his head. “Where is she …?”“Bro, you can find someone else. I know you don’t need more money.”“You know me better,” Jacob said

    “Are you serious?” Jacob raised his eyebrow. “If you are interested in our business, the underworld ones, I would talk with others first.”“Right. You can’t make a crucial decision on your own.”“Indeed.” Jacob tapped his fingers on the table, trying to think. After a while, he said, “I can’t make an exact calculation for now because at first, I must get others’ approval first. But if we want to sell the businesses to you, our financial chiefs must work to prepare the business transaction offers. Of course, it’s after getting all leaders’ approvals. So, it may require a few months to complete everything.” Then he added, “It’s if they agree with the decision to sell and transfer the underworld businesses.”&ldq

Knowing later Emily was pregnant, it was like a second chance with me. I fell in love with her gradually, but with the twins, it was love at first sight.” He looked at the sky again. “They were so small, but then they filled my heart with love.

Probably he wants to wait for the patient.”“Thank you.” Jacob then glanced at the twin. “I’ll go inside. You two wait here, okay?”“Yes, Dad,” Jason said. Mia nodded, saying nothing.He crossed the hall and walked in the direction where Harold had left before.
