Love Worth Fighting For

While Kainer was showing his findings in the meeting room, Christian didn’t say anything at all. Christian just keeps looking at the results of Kainer’s searches which are carried out using a special system that can only be accessed by himself and Kainer. After Kainer found something wrong with Asher five years ago, Christian then ordered Ronin to make special access for him and Kainer to monitor Muller Finance International.

“That kid seems to be getting bolder, he really is a very ungrateful person. How can he betray the trust that Daddy and Mommy have placed in him by stealing company money for years like this,” Christian said hoarsely.

“Would you like to immediately show our findings to Mr Jack, young master?” asked Kainer quietly.

Christian shakes his head. “No, I don’t want to rush. Even though we have all the evidence at this point, I’m still not satisfied.”

“But the money he has stolen over the years is already quite a lot Sir, I estimate Asher can buy ten sports cars like yours or more using that money,” Kainer said back, seeing how much money Asher had stolen over the years, making Kainer angry and annoyed.

Christian’s face looks even redder. “Actually the money is not a lot of money, Asher can get more money than that if he wants to ask my father. I just can’t stop thinking, why does Asher have to do this dirty way to get money. Even though he can get money so much more in an easy way.”

“A villain doesn’t need a reason to do evil, sir.” Kainer quickly replied to Christian’s words. “Perhaps Asher feels more challenged to do this than to ask Mr. Jack or Mrs. Marianne for money, sir.”

“Maybe,” Christian says hoarsely.
Christian slowly turned his gaze towards the room where Suri and Zwetta were, even though at this time Suri couldn’t hear his conversation with Kainer but Christian was sure Suri would be very sad when she found out what Asher had done. Suri, who spends more time with Asher than himself, will definitely be hurt when she finds out that Asher has betrayed her family and now Christian doesn’t have that much courage to tell Suri everything. Christian didn’t want to break his sister’s heart, who was currently so excited at work, Christian didn’t want to break Suri’s concentration with the bad news that Kainer had just told him.

.....

“Are you going to keep this a secret from your family, sir?” asked Kainer carefully, Kainer finally being able to read what was on Christian’s mind at this moment.

Christian took a deep breath. “Actually I’ve already told what Asher has done to Suri since Suri came home, but at that time Suri ignored my words. Suri didn’t believe what I said and thought it was just a joke, that’s why I chose not to tell this at this time to her or to my parents.”

“But Master…”

“Our relationship has just improved after all these years, Asher.” Christian immediately interrupted Kainer’s words quickly. “I can finally feel the peace that I dreamed of and to be honest I don’t want this to pass soon especially now that we are preparing to welcome new family members. I don’t want to repeat the mistakes I have made before in the past.”

“What happened to Luna and Asher is completely unrelated, young master.” Kainer was not to be outdone. “What happened to you and Zwetta has nothing to do with Asher, what Asher did was purely a crime and this cannot be tolerated. The money Asher took may have no value in the eyes of you or Mr. Jack, but for the employees of Muller Finance International of course no. They would be deeply hurt to learn that someone had stolen the fruits of their years of hard work like this.”

Christian grips the edge of the table tightly. “Then what should I do now Asher? Do you think I should expose all of Asher’s crimes in front of my family? Can’t you think of the consequences if I do that? Suri will definitely be devastated, that spoiled child is very close to Asher. She will be in utter shock and devastation, if that happens then how is he going to lead the Clarke House of Jewel? I definitely won’t let my wife take over her job, my wife is pregnant. I can’t possibly let her continue working like now, Zwetta once had a history of giving birth prematurely and I don’t want that to happen again. I want my son to be born perfectly when he is really ready to be born into the world, unlike what happened to his sister.”

“Your son will definitely be born perfect without any flaws sir,” said Kainer quickly trying to calm Christian who was still suffering from great fear and trauma over what had happened to Luna.

“Must, my son must be born perfectly without any flaws. He will be my successor to take care of Clarke Enterprise, that’s why he must be fine.” Christian’s breath sounded so heavy when he spoke.

“So what’s your plan now, you can’t let this keep happening, can you?” Kainer worked up the courage to ask.

“Of course not, there’s no way I’m going to let the parasite continue to gnaw us from the inside silently like this. I’ll take care of it directly in Geneva, I’ll solve it in my own way,” Christian answered firmly. “This afternoon I will fly straight to Geneva and you stay here, keep an eye on my wife. Take care that she is not constantly being used by my spoiled sister.”

“But…”

“I only trust you Kainer, so take good care of my wife and children. Don’t worry, I won’t act rashly. from my family. She is my sister,” Christian said back.

Christian who is now much wiser than Christian five years ago. Christian is aware that he must act more carefully at this time, even though Asher is the child of someone who has contributed so much to his family, that’s why Christian doesn’t want to act recklessly as before by showing his hatred for Asher openly in front of his parents.

“Why only this, Son?” asked Edmund disapprovingly, seeing the amount of money Johan gave him. “Isn’t that money continuing to go into the escrow account that you created on behalf of the foster child, right?”



“This amount is much more than last month, Dad,” Johan answered slowly. “We have to be careful Dad, we can’t make Christian and Jackson Clarke suspicious.”

Edmund grabbed the stack of euros in front of him and put them in the safe next to him with dissatisfaction, even though he had been stealing large sums of money from Muller Finance International for years but he was still not satisfied. Edmund still wants to control all the money owned by the company he once helped manage.

“Then when are you going to use that adopted child to carry out our core plan?” asked Edmund again.

Johan pursed his lips. “In the near future Dad, by now Asher has started to trust me and I have to be careful not to get him suspicious.”

“Good, continue with your plan. Daddy hopes that before Christian’s child is born we have taken Muller Finance International back from them.”
