Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

"Jennie, I will take good care of your daughter. No, soon she will also be my daughter. I will take very good care of our daughter, I never thought we would become besan. If only you were still alive. I'm sorry for only visiting you now. All this time I thought you had forgotten me and were living happily, I never thought that you were like this, I hope heaven is the best place for you," said Mrs. Seira sobbing.

Mr. Atmadja approached his wife and stroked her shoulder. While Grandma, the old woman sat down next to Claire, trying to strengthen her.

"Be patient, dear."

Claire just nodded, then hugged Grandma back.

The cool afternoon atmosphere suddenly turned cloudy, black clouds filled the evening sky. They didn't stay long, after sending prayers, they decided to go home.

With a heavy heart, Claire stepped back into the car. Even though she still wanted to live in her mother and father's graves and talk about many things, the weather was not very favorable.

"We'll visit them again later, dear," said Mrs. Seira before they got into their respective cars.

Hearing that, Claire nodded.

When their car left the cemetery, it was raining very hard, accompanied by the occasional wind.

Tonight, Mrs. Seira and Mr. Atmadja will stay at the Smith residence, all because of Claire and Dave's request.

Mr. Javier has returned to Australia. The man is currently being treated at the hospital. His face looks older than it should be, he has lost a lot of weight. A few days ago, he had a heart attack, the man was stressed because he was thinking about his family's finances that were not getting better, but on the contrary. Not only that, he suffered a huge loss.

In the last few weeks, Black Jack's appearances on the black market have become more frequent and more dominating, and it has made him depressed and unable to move freely. He suffered from stress and a heart attack and was eventually rushed to the hospital.

"Is there any progress?" Mr. Javier asked Edrick who was standing next to him.

The man shook his head slowly, causing Mr. Javier to take another deep breath. His gaze was fixed on the ceiling of the room.

"Where's Brian?" Javier asked.

"He's taking care of something, Dad. Today there is a shareholders' meeting at the office," replied Edrick.

Hearing that, Mr. Javier just kept quiet and didn't respond anymore.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

There was a knock on the door of the room. Edrick immediately approached and opened it. There, Kelvin stood, he was Brian's assistant.

"Kelvin? What is it?" asked Edrick.

"Mr. Brian asked me to show this to Mr. Javier, sir," answered Kelvin while showing an email that was on the iPad he was holding.

"Erm, fine. You can go now," said Edrick and took the flat-shaped object, closed the door again, and approached his father.

However, his steps stopped when he saw the contents of the email. It contained threats, but that wasn't what surprised him.

The contents of the email related to the Smith family. The contents of the email threaten them not to disturb the Smith family and everything related to the Smith family, if they still do it, the Javier family will certainly go bankrupt and fall into poverty, some evidence of a crime they are in the contents of the email, the sender threatens to hand over all the evidence to the authorities if the Javier family still dares to approach the Smith family, for what and however the reason.

"What do you see? Why does your expression look like that?" asked Mr. Javier as he looked at his son who was standing still by the door.

Hearing that, Edrick's focus was dispersed. He immediately approached his father. Thinking hard about whether he should show the contents of the email or keep it until his father recovers completely. Edrick felt a dilemma with his thoughts.

On the one hand, the family is experiencing big problems, while on the other hand, his father's health condition is also very bad.

"Tell me, Edrick. Don't hide anything. I'll blame you if something happens without my knowledge," said Mr. Javier to his son.

Edrick was silent for a moment, a deep sigh could be heard escaping from between his lips.

"Dad, I think all the bad things that have happened in the past few weeks have to do with the Smiths," said Edrick, finally choosing to tell him everything.

"Huh? What do you mean? How did Black Jack get in touch with the Smiths? Do you know what you're saying? Black Jack and the Smith family are very different, like earth and sky. I can't believe what you're saying, don't make jokes with me, Edrick," said Mr. Javier.

"Look at this, Dad," said Edrick as he handed the iPad to the man.

When Mr. Javier read the contents of the email, Edrick noticed his father's expression.

"What do you think, Dad? Should I send people to teach them a lesson?" said Edrick, he thought that everything that happened to them was caused by the Smith family, although the sender of the email did not include his name, he was very sure of it.

Mr. Javier was silent and did not respond to his son, the man sighed harshly.

"No, you don't have to," said Mr. Javier after a moment of silence. To be honest, he was also very surprised and did not expect this.

"But, Daddy..."

"Shut up and do what I say."

"But Daddy, how about our plan?"

"Cancel. We'd better back off and stay away from that family, Edrick. This is not good for our family," the middle-aged man retorted.

"Daddy, have you thought this through? We've worked out the plan perfectly, but you…"

"Edrick!! Do you want our company to go bankrupt? Do you want to live poor? Did you want to go to jail?" Mr. Javier interrupted his son's sentence. It seemed that this time he met someone he really couldn't fight. He must lower his selfish feelings for the good of his own family.

"Smith Family…" Edrick muttered as he clenched his fists. Looks very angry.

"No, this isn't the Smith Family, Edrick."

"What did you say, Dad?"

"A very powerful person stands behind that family. If my guess is correct. Maybe he is Mr. X"

"Huh? Mr. X? Do you mean the leader of Black Jack?" Edrick gaped.

"Who else has the power to move the Black Jack members if not their leader?" replied Mr.. Javier trying to guess.
