Last Updated:
2022-04-17 22:48:03Jo looked up at her mother and Damian, who was standing opposite her husband. She had time to glance at the numbers written by his mother and cousin. It was a huge number, and she was sure the family would just want to find an excuse to take advantage of her husband.
One billion was not a small number for Jo. She took a year for collecting three hundred million. What about a billion? How long it could be then?
“Are you two really trying to blackmail Nicko? You guys are really outrageous! Jo raged as he got up and stared at his family blankly. Nicko just took his wife’s hand, then nodded, signaling him to sit quietly beside her.
“It’s ok Jo, a problem like this will be easy to handle,” Nicko said, patting his wife’s thigh.
Jo shook her head. She didn’t underestimate her husband. T

Daisy held Nicko’s tablet high and intended to slam the flat object down. She can’t accept what was written on the screen of Nicko’s tablet certainly.“How insolent you are!” She exclaimed once again.Nicko just smiled sarcastically and seemed dismissive. Especially when Daisy threatened Nicko to smash the tablet into pieces.“Hmm, just slam it if you want to. I can buy another one,” Nicko said, to show off the treasure he had deliberately.“What the hell are you Nicko? How can you do something like this? I really didn’t think you’d do something sleazy like this!” Daisy exclaimed in disappointment.“Why can’t I do it? Isn’t everything I wrote true?” Nicko cha

Josephine glanced at the man who had been asleep beside her, and wrapping his arms around her slender waist. This was her first experience living under the luxurious roof of the Lloyd.She glanced at her husband, who looked tired after the two of them showering with sweat to release their longing. Her husband is mighty and fierce for sex. Jo really feels like he’s flying when he pampers here.Not an inch of his body escapes the touch of his hands, lips or tongue. No wonder the husband is now fast asleep after draining quite a lot of energy.Usually, they would fall into a deep sleep and hug each other after cleaning up, but not this time. Jo found it hard to sleep. She should have felt calm and comfortable after reuniting with her husband, but she was feeling restless this time.From time to time Jo had to change s

The woman with a Barbie look looked down again. She was increasingly indecisive. There was a little regret when she questioned her husband about this. Sometimes she cursed herself in her heart. Why be so stupid and ask these silly questions?However, the situation is no longer the same in Jo’s eyes. Nicko is not a poor man, unemployed, and has no last name. Not only Nicko is rich but also the man is his boss.Nicko gasped after hearing Josephine’s question. He stood up immediatelh and snorted and ruffled his hair. This question was ridiculous and beyond his expectations. This shouldn’t have come out of Jo’s parted lips.“Jo, what kind of question is this? Does that mean you doubt me? Can’t you think a little more clearly?” Nicko Asked trying to look calm.Realizing that his words

The woman was well-dressed and ready to do her work in the office.“Are you going to the office today?” Mr. Wu asked his eldest daughter. Sara just nodded and enjoyed the oats with raspberries and nonfat milk in front of her.“I’m going to the branch office after dropping Angeline off at school,” she answered lightly.“I don’t think you need to. We should just focus on something else!” Mr. Wu said.Sara frowned, put down her spoon for a moment, and watched her father. This Asian woman does not understand why her father is actually blocking her will to go to the branch office.Mr. Wu’s branch office was having a problem ind

Nicko put away his embrace on his wife slowly. Now his hands, which were a little pale from the lack of sunlight while living in prison, were gently stroking Josephine’s hair. Those brown eyes stared intently at Jo, and, as usual, they were calm.“Just tell me what you want, Jo?” Nico asked gently.Jo looked down. She hesitated on expressing her request this time. Her request this time had something to do with the Windsor family.“Mmmm, actually I… I’m at a loss for words, and maybe I’m afraid to tell you this, but—” Jo didn’t finish her sentence, she looked down again.If she hadn’t said this, then Jo’s mind would have been plagued with thoughts of her family. But if she said so, Jo was worried that her husband would be angry with her.&

Nicko’s luxury car stopped at an old-fashioned but sturdy building. In the building's courtyard, there were some children running around.Meanwhile, in the corner, teenagers seem busy exercising. What caught Nicko’s attention was a boy who just sat alone under a tree, holding his knees.Nicko rolled down his car window and looked back at the boy again. The position of the car was near to the tree where the child was sheltering, which was why Nicko could see it clearly.“Too bad,” Nicko mumbled, startling Jo, who was sitting beside him.The blonde-haired girl just frowned. She didn’t understand why Nicko had to take her and visit the children’s shelter. Especially when her husband mumbled pity. Could it be that the husband wanted to hold charity activities in this place?&nbs

This is the first time for Jo traveling by helicopter. This woman’s face looks paler, her hands are still clinging to her husband. Maybe she was nervous because it was his first experience.Slowly, the helicopter belonging to the Lloyd family landed on the helipad in the District C area. That’s when Nicko and his wife received a welcome from the prison warden who used to take care of them.They were all respectful, even bowed their head when shaking hands with him. Nicko breathed for a moment the air around the District C prison, looked around and reminisced. He got a lot of experience and life lessons in this place.“Please sir,” one of the prison guards in charge of escorting them opened the way.Nicko just nodded, and his hand kept holding his wife. Nicko returned through the passage that had l

“Yes, adopt my son. You two don’t have any children yet, right?” Rodgie asked again.This time, he was no longer friendly, and he scared Jo again. But not with Nico. Instead, he raised his palm, asking Rodgie to calm down.“I will kneel before you two so that you will adopt my son. You’re the only good people I know. Nicko, I have been the one protecting you all this time. Can’t you fulfill this request of mine?” Rodgie asked.This man’s emotions look very chaotic. Between anger, worry and sadness, all mixed into one. For a moment, Nicko returned to Jo to calm him down and confirm Jo’s wishes. Jo nodded, though a little scared.“Rodgie, calon yourself down first. We came here not only to know how you are doing, but we also want to ask your permission to adopt Ia

"So this is your doing?" asked Nicko angrily. This time her face was red and her eyes were staring intently ahead."Ha ha ha why? Does this sound painful to you? It's good that this sounds painful to you. At least this way you will know who you are dealing with, and you can think again about betraying my daughter!”Watson, you! Nicko rage. This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say? It's a shame that until now my daughter still expects you and I still think of you as my son-in-law. I rejected several men including Matthew Young who is now completely independent for you but instead you maintain your stupid marri

The man Josephine knew folded his arms across his chest and walked over to Josephine. "You wanna know why I'm here? Of course because I want to meet you sweetheart.”Of course, that man was Gerlad Jones, the most selfish man Josephine had ever known.“Aren't you tired of bothering me all the time? Don't you already know that you and I are no longer related?" Josephine replied curtly.Gerald immediately crouched down and leveled his position with Josephine. This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky. Is it possible that you're already pregnant with that jerk's child?” asked Gerald as he whispered in Josephine's ear and started licking it.Josephine shuddered in horror, she almost admitted that she was now pregnant.

Lately, Nicko has been busy with all his own activities and also the world of medicine that he just got. Now they also thought of taking a break, after all last night Jo had said that she wanted to share.With the help of Owen and Jacklyn, they spread out a table and put some food boxes there which will be given to anyone who needs them for free. This time it wasn't just Jo who looked so happy, but also Ian, because he hadn't spent time with his adoptive father in a long time.As soon as Nicko finished clearing the table and putting down some food, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes came up to them.

The Pride S2. 365 Karma Still Go On
At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words. Instantly his lips were numb and could not say anything else.It was then that Mr. Watson immediately called his housekeep

Andrew Young's body suddenly felt stiff and weak. Now he has no money anymore and it hurts a lot. Now that he heard the news that his youngest son had committed suicide, his life was completely ruined at this point.With unsteady steps, he walked towards the stage again. At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off. When renting this place, he only paid half of the total banking services ordered by him.Currently, he can still breathe a sigh of relief because, in his account balance, there is still money remaining for the cost of paying off this event. But after that, he didn't know what to do. Not even sure I could buy a plane ticket back to Northern Hill.The only way back to Northern Hi
The Pride S2. 463 His Karma
Andrew Young was struck by the statement of his former bodyguard. What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard. Don't act stupid and piss me off so you guys tot

He kept calling her and asking her to come back.But unfortunately, when he just got off the stage he was intercepted by several people who had bought the medicine.One of them is Mr. Austin. He stood holding out his hand and blocking her from leaving. "Where are you going? Immediately take responsibility for what you have done to us! Give us our money back!”Some who had bought the drug also helped Mr Austin. They all seemed to surround him.“Quickly give us our money back!” cried the people shouting angrily.Andrew Young actually shook his head and tried to refuse, "No...no, you already know that if the items that have been purchased cannot be returned."But the people didn't want to understand and said to him loudly, “No you can't, this money has to be returned because you have committed fraud.

Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep. Often we have to eat fast food to save time. Don't you all realize the consequences of our old habits? Gradually everything becomes a disease that accumulates and paralyzes the cells in our body.
