Love Worth Fighting For

272 Love and family

After Areez really left, Suri then rushed into her house. Suri doesn’t want anyone to see her out of the house this late, Suri takes advantage of the broken CCTV network throughout her house that has not been repaired to save Areez tonight. She realized that if the CCTV network was fixed, then her chances of saving Areez would be very small.

Suri managed to get into the house safely after passing through the kitchen door, the door that connected the main house with the servants’ houses was never locked. That’s why Suri was able to go in and out of the door safely, just like before, Suri returned to her room by taking off her shoes so she could move quickly and Suri’s decision was right because the second she closed the bedroom door, Asher who had just returned from the bar entered the house. Even though he was half drunk, Asher’s consciousness was still quite high. That’s why Suri is currently giving thanks.

“I have to turn off the bedroom light immediately, Asher must not know that I haven’t slept yet.” Suri hastily turned off all the lights in her room, having a habit of being in a dark room made Suri not leave a single light source still lit in her room. Suri only relied on the light from outside that broke through curtains of her room which were not closed too tightly.

After feeling that everything was safe, Suri then walked to the sofa near the large window. Suri slowly touched her lips which Areez had kissed a moment ago.

“My first kiss,” said Suri hoarsely. “Areez got my first kiss.”

Suri’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, even though it was just a kiss on the lips, at this time Suri was already so restless. She was really very uncomfortable with the strong pounding that was racing in her left chest, Suri who was intoxicated with romance forgot her crazy actions by freeing Areez. Suri is not aware that she is in great danger right now. Love really took her sanity away.

The morning atmosphere that should have started with a new warmth and enthusiasm suddenly disappeared from the Clarke family’s house, the disappearance of the prisoner who should have been in the interrogation room made all the night guards bow down in fear in front of Jack and Asher who were already so furious. . Jack, who has not had the chance to meet Areez in person, looks so disappointed with his workers who have missed out.

“Didn’t any of the CCTV work? Have you checked it again? How about the traces, didn’t any of you find any suspicious traces?”
.....

Asher gave a barrage of questions to the ten guards who were lined up neatly in front of him. His face was already very red, holding back the emotions that had reached his chest. If there weren’t his adoptive parents nearby, Asher might have thrown a fist at the ten people.

“Sorry young master, we are really guilty. We are ready to accept the punishment.”

“Not.” Jack, who had been locking his lips for a while, quickly answered the words of one of his guards. “It’s not your fault, Areez Floyen is not your opponent. He’s too smart for you to beat.”

“Uncle...”

“What Mr. Jack said is true, Asher,” Erick said quietly. “We’ve underestimated the man too much, only highly skilled people can break free from those chains. And Areez has proven it.”

Asher, who previously wanted to protest, immediately closed his lips tightly, Erick’s words made him think back to the situation in the interrogation room that he had been to a while ago. In the room there was only a wire that Areez used to untie the chains that bound his arms and legs, the choice to leave Areez chained up sitting down really boomeranged on them all. Because if Areez was still chained up in the same standing position he was in when he was being interrogated, this kind of thing might not have happened. As one of the most knowledgeable people, Asher knew that Areez was really smart.

“We’re just underestimating Areez Floyen, he’s really such a smart and cunning person. I’ve really been very stupid because I was fooled by the mask he used,” Jack said again, from his voice it was very clear that at this time Jack was furious.

Everyone in the living room immediately closed their lips tightly, the big master’s words made none of them dare to speak.

Just as the unpleasant atmosphere was getting tighter, suddenly the sound of someone’s running footsteps came into the room. Automatically Jack who was the center of everyone’s attention turned towards the source of the voice, his facial expression did not change when he saw who it was who was running towards him in a hurry.

“I hope the news you bring is important news,” Erick said warningly to Nicholas who was gripping his hand.

Nicholas, who was holding his breath, immediately held onto Erick and nodded slowly. “That’s right, the news I have brought is important news. It’s about Areez Floyen.”

“Areez Floyen?” Jack repeated Nicholas’ words in a deep voice.

Nicholas straightened when he heard his master’s voice, he quickly shifted his focus to Jack who was staring at him unblinkingly.

“What’s with that bastard?”

“Areez Floyen and his assistant returned to Auckland last night, Areez Floyen has even returned all the investments you made in his company complete with administrative fees that must be paid, sir,” Nicholas answered carefully.

“Looks like that bastard had this all planned long ago,” Asher growled softly in response to Nicholas’ words. “He really is very smart.”

Jack locked his lips again, he didn’t respond to Nicholas or Asher’s words. Jack seemed lost in his own thoughts. And Jack’s sudden silence made the atmosphere in the room even more tense, Nicholas who had just arrived even felt an extraordinary tightness in his chest. The unexpected incident for two days in a row really made everything change drastically.

“Should I chase him to Auckland, sir?” Erick asked quietly, the only person who dared to break the silence was Erick.

Jack shook his head. “No need, why should we chase the coward who has run away. I don’t want to degrade myself by chasing a man who doesn’t dare to take responsibility for his actions.”

“Well.”



“Right now I just want to focus on Luna’s recovery, I want to focus all my concentration on my beautiful granddaughter,” added Jack again. “So from now on no one ever talks about that cowardly man who has run away, I don’t want to spoil my hearing because I heard his name.”

When Jack closed his lips, from the direction of the stairs Suri burst into tears. Suri, who just came out of her room, looked so sad to hear her father’s words that were so firm, because she didn’t want anyone to see her, Suri rushed back to her room. Although happy that all her plans went smoothly, Suri felt so sad after knowing that all her family hated Areez, her first love.
