What But? Are you trying to create a fuss as Jenna did? you should be the one comforting her and not the other way around, Erica” Bethany scolded as soon as she heard Erica objecting.“I know she's going to try and scare you but don't worry about that now”.
“I'm not afraid of that shrewd woman, Bethany, don't you even trust me at all? Moreover, I wasn't even going to put up a fuss just now, I just wanted you to consider what Jenna said. I'm sure Jordan must have heard something, he couldn't have just day something out of the blues, right? What's more, he lives with them and he couldn't have just come up with a silly stunt”
Erica tried to reason with her while Bethany just listened without uttering a word.
After giving it quite a thought, Bethany decided to have the whole situation looked up as she didn't want to risk them getting hurt at all.
“It's fine. Don't you worry, no one will be able to do anything to you guys while you're on your trip. So, just leave things to me now. I'll handle them”.
On the top floor of the Blue Ridge Group. The assistant was reporting the bill carefully."President, this is almost all of our Blue ridge company's sales in the last few months. Would you like to have a look at it carefully?"
“Bo, just leave the files on the table. I'll have a look at it after this” Zayn said raising his head from his computer slightly.
Gael kept the file on the table and turned around to leave. just as he took a few steps away, Zayn called out to him in a cold hoarse voice.
“Yes, President Meyer. Is there something you need?” Gael asked turning around.
Zayn hesitated for a couple of seconds before saying anything, “Do you have any updates on Jenna's mother? Are they alright after what happened?”
“Yes. They are fine. I even heard from a colleague that they've been going out of the country for a while. Do you have a message?”.
Zayn quickly glanced at him before looking down at his file and said.“No, there is no message. I just wanted to know how they're doing after getting them involved in such a messy situation” Zayn sounded concerned.
“Oh about that? You shouldn't have to worry about Miss Erica, she's a strong woman. I'm sure she can pull this through without any help.”
“If that is the case. then, I would like to head back home now” Zayn said, pulling the chair back which end up scratching against the floor with a cracking sound.
“I told you there was no need to come to work today since it's weekend, there wouldn't be any work to be done but you insisted on coming still” Gael scolded as he stood aside to watch him move.
upon hearing his comment, Zayn slightly raised his head and Gael was forced to keep shut up immediately.
Stuttering he said, “T-That's not what I mean, President Meyer”
Without saying a word, Zayn strode past him and he immediately followed suit.
Just as Erica was about to start the car, she discovered that there was a flat tire. She had no choice but to hail a taxi at the door with Jenna walking along with her. Fortunately, a taxi stopped in front of them very quickly. The driver asked them where they were going.
Erica tightened her scarf and said, "Milan Airport "The driver asked, "Which one?"
“Are there more than one?" Erica looked puzzled as she didn't know which.
The driver started the car. "One in the east and one in the west. However, I just came from the east. That one is not open. It seems that you are going to the western one, I think” The driver finally came to her request.
Erica waved and said, "Go to the western one."
At the Blue ridge manor, Lady Cecilia was listening to the housekeeper's report.
"The hotel spy said that Erica had already left with her daughter. Our people are already waiting in the private room. As long as she agrees to take the cheque and leave, our private plane will directly send them to Country E "
Lady Cecilia nodded upon hearing this, "Well done. How is Zayn doing now?"
The servant lowered his voice as he said.“I don't think the young master has heard about it yet. Also, we should get going back to the old mansion now as the young master will be back home shortly”.
“Oh right. I almost forgot about it. She should leave now. Go get the little master”
She left for her room with the maids trailing behind her.
Meanwhile, Danica, who had just stepped into her room quickly slammed the door locked and leaned against the door before receiving a call.
standing against the door of the room, Danica quietly left and returned to her room. Then, she received a phone call."They have already been brought here”
Danica nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, as long as you do well, I'll give you another five million!"After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed with a pensive expression on her face.
She was angry about the fact that Zayn had blatantly refused to help her even after Lady Cecilia tried to force him into it.
when has gotten into him? he wasn't like this before then.
Zayn would have done everything to get her name cleared up but after the incident of five years ago, he has stopped caring even a bit about her not about the child they have.
Thinking about this, Danica felt her heart tightening up bitterly as her fists clutched subconsciously. Her face was crushed in displeasure.
“I can't let this situation take everything I have worked for away from me so easily. I'm going to find a way to get back on track.” Danica quickly stood up from the bed abruptly as she paced around the room with a gloomy expression.“But how do I clear my name? I need to find a way to take their attention away from my ill actions and make them focus on the good instead. What should I do?”
She takes led the back of her phone against her palm as she kept contemplating what to do.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks as her eyes lit up with a glimmer of an idea.
Smiling
It seems as though she had finally concluded what to do now.
“Why haven't I thought of this before? how could such an important matter slip my mind like that?” Danica asked?
Immediately she was reminded of something as she quickly came to a stop and get smile was immediately dimmed down.
“B-But I-I have sent someone–....”
She immediately picked up her phone and dialed a number.
“I want you to go back and leave the job undone. Don't go after the woman anymore, I have some other jobs for you in the west city”.
Danica ordered authoritatively.
When she was done with the call, she finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then a sly smile soon curved around the corners of her lips.
pacing around and going over to the window, she pulled the window aside as she glanced through with the sunlight flashing on her face, she smiled sneakily.
“I almost ruin things for myself this time as well. Thank God, I realized this soon enough otherwise I won't have been doomed to failure” She said.“What id does she come to know about my deeds, Then? I hope not. She probably won't find out anything, especially not about the fact that I had dragged her name through the mud. If she were to learn about this, I wouldn't be able to clear my name anymore as she won't even think of helping me at all, so I need to pretend to be pitiful in front of her”.
With a pitiful voice.“I'm so sorry you had to go through that phase because of my fans' ill judgment ” She practiced.
After hatching this plan in mind, Danica decided to go downstairs for a cup of tea while awaiting a response from Erica.
In the Milan Airport on the east side of the city, Lady Cecilia's men did not see Erica after waiting for a long time, so they called their leader. The butler was puzzled. "Impossible. She left an hour ago. She didn't go to the airport. She must be on her way to the Milan city airport. Continue to wait!"
Lady Cecilia smiled, "Could it be that she deliberately held us in suspense? Where can a woman with a child go? if they can't find them, go block them on the way! Get it done!"
