CHAPTER 76: CONFRONTATION

Ian had a lot of questions and he hoped that this young couple will give him the answers that he was looking for but if he got the wrong people, he was going to apologize for wasting their time.

Elektra looked at the familiar restaurant she had frequented a lot of times before when she was the spoiled Cleo Day. The restaurant was very quiet and offered a lot of privacy.

The place was also expensive and it wasn’t easy to get a table but for the rich, that problem was easily solved with money. They got out of their cars and the young couple followed Ian inside. Elektra showed a surprised look when she saw how the staff was treating Ian respectively.

They were taken upstairs to a private room where they could have a wonderful and peaceful conversation. They all became seated once they were inside and with the help of the servers, they managed to order some food.

“So, uncle, why are we here by the way?” Elektra asked as soon as the servers were out.

“Umm, we didn’t get to introduce ourselves. I am Ian Day, the Chairman of ***** group. May I know your names, please?” Ian humbly asked once again and Elektra was surprised by the great change.

Elektra looked at Kasper and nodded her head, “we are Elektra and Kasper Murray. We are not from here and it is nice to meet you, Uncle Ian.”

Ian was disappointed hearing this, this couple wasn’t from here so the chances that these people really know Cleo and Hope. At this time, he didn’t even put the name Murray in his head.

“You are married?”

“Yes, we are, is there anything wrong?”

Ian was embarrassed when he heard this but he couldn’t help himself but ask this question.

“Sir, we have a child back home so if you don’t mind can you be quick with your questions?” Kasper who had not said a word ever since Ian appeared finally asked and his tone weren’t friendly at all.

Elektra knew that Kasper was no longer in a good mood. From the very second, he heard the name ‘Ian Day’ he finally understood the reason why Elektra was acting this way.

This was the man who was once Elektra’s father before he abandoned the mother and daughter for a heinous crime that was still fishy until this day.

Ian looked at Kasper and as a man, he could read people very well and it didn’t take a fool to see that the young man didn’t like his presence at all.

“I am very sorry for the delay. I want to know if you know Hope and Cleo Day?” Ian decided to ask directly as going in a circle would only make the young man crazy.

Elektra didn’t delay with her answer and immediately answered, “yes, I know them and from your name, you must be Aunt’s Hope ex-husband. It’s great to finally meet you.”

Hearing the excitement voice in Elektra’s voice, Ian didn’t know what to think of it.

“You really know them?” Ian asked shakily, he didn’t want to sound rude but he just couldn’t help it.

“Ummm, I know them very well, it is just unfortunate that I couldn’t meet them again when they were alive so I came to visit them. Is there anything that you want from me?” Elektra briefly explained before asking.

Ian sighed as he listens to this, “I just wanted to make sure that someone still remembers her.”

Elektra wanted to vomit as she looked at Ian who was getting weaker and paler by the second. It wasn’t that only but it was the loss and grief in his eyes and voice that made Elektra wonder what was really going on there.

“Uncle, since you visited Hope, does this mean that you don’t believe the charges against her? Or you just feel guilty for abandoning her and her child when they needed you the most?” Elektra suddenly attacked with a sneer of her face and the two men could hear the disgust in her voice as she questioned Ian.

Ian never expected that a young girl he didn’t know would suddenly attack him like this. He thought that they will be shaken by his name and give him the answers that he seeks but who knew that the other not only knew him but harbored such intense hatred for him?

“You…….”

“You thought that I didn’t know you? Mr. Ian Day, I know you very well and your disgusting actions. For such a reputable man like you, I wonder why you are that ruthless!” Elektra didn’t put the man in her eyes and simply scolded him harshly.

“You don’t have the right to talk to me like that!” Ian was fuming with anger after being treated like this.

It was him who had been cuckolded and fooled. It was him who should be receiving sympathy. It wasn’t anyone’s turn to look at him like this and treat him as if he was some criminal.

Kasper hated anyone who treats his woman poorly. So, having the irresponsible former father of his wife raise his voice at her, he who had been quiet and watching the drama hit the table with anger.

This action startled not only Ian but Elektra who had for a moment forgotten that her husband was by her side. She had been dying to tear off the flesh and drink the blood of the Days’ for years now.

“You are not allowed to raise your voice at my woman! The consequences of riling her up would cost you your fortune!” Kasper spoke in a calm tone but they both knew that he wasn’t calm at all.

The way he threatened Ian in such a calm, cold tone made Ian look at the man again and wonder why he was this confident.

“You should teach your wife and restrain her. what kind of a woman doesn’t respect her elders?” Ian was still furious and still took it upon Kasper.

Kasper chuckled coldly as he looked at Ian who was still trying to make himself look like a saint even at this stage.
