Episode 81

- Ansel

It was 11:20 pm when I arrived at Ian's residence with Victor and Albert.

After saying goodbye to the children, we immediately decided to go to Ian's residence to continue my introductions to the man involved in my mother's accident. The man who had been beaten all out by Arsel, and now I want to continue the interrogation that had been delayed because suddenly he lost consciousness.

Then Albert who had business with me decided to come with me and intended to wait for me to finish with my business. It seemed like he didn't want to look for me any more next time, so he decided to wait for me for whatever it was. For sure he wants to talk to me when my business is over, today as well.

"Would the three of you finish your business first, I'll wait in the basement." Ian said as he entered his house was adored by me and the others.

Though I intend to make him wait a long time, my mind while glancing at Albert who stood beside me with a serious expression.

"But my only business is with Ansel, why did you ask him to come with us?" He asked while pointing at Victor with his chin.

"You'll find out later .. and you can get everything done today, right, Ansel?" Ian replied as he grabbed my shoulder with his right palm.

"All the evidence has been gathered, I just went to see the old woman and dragged her to the police station, you don't have to worry about me Ian." I immediately removed his palm from my shoulder.

After that, I'll scoop up his daughter as well. I continued in my heart while clenching both palms of my hands.

"Yes–well, I believe in you. I'm leaving first, you can use my room to discuss until Ansel, Victor." He said as he walked away from us while waving his hands lazily.

"Looks like I'm interfering with your business, huh?" Albert asked feeling guilty for forcing her to come with them.

"It's okay, I want to talk to you soon, too. You must have waited for me so patiently all this time, so I'll tell you what you want to know from me." I said as I walked into Ian's study followed by Albert and Victor.

"I'm so grateful for your concern Ansel, I hope you can tell me everything I want to know without anything you've hidden from me in the slightest." His words made me take a cold glance at him who was already showing a thin smile with his cold gaze.

I have to prepare myself to face Albert. From here on out, I'll answer all her curiosity. If he is satisfied and decides to antagonize me for targeting his wife, then I will not hesitate to him anymore. I promised to destroy everyone who stood in my way! I said in my heart, trying to solidify my heart.

Soon we arrived at Ian's study, wasting no more time, and we went inside and had a conversation after two servants served us green tea.

"So? What do you want to know about me?" I asked him to open a serious conversation with her.

"You can tell me about Claretta? I heard you almost married her, right? That means you guys have known each other for a long time, right? Tell me about him," he said, sitting straight on his feet in front of me, looking me deeply in the eye.

"Hee... Did you find out about him?" I asked while putting the tea cup back in my hand without me drinking, "if you may know, why are you so curious about that woman? Aren't you already a couple, didn't she tell you about herself?" I don't want to go straight to the heart of the conversation.

I don't know why I find it so much fun to play around with her, "did you decide to marry her without knowing her origin and past?" I asked again to take the cup of tea in front of me and wipe it.

"I'm just–"

"Did he set you up too?" I asked to cut his words, I saw his pupils shrink for a moment and then re-enlarged. He seems very surprised by my words.

"Caught?" Her question made me nod steadily and put the tea cup back in my hand when I saw her squint her eyes full of inquiring.

I took my breath as deep as I could when I remembered my conversation with Ansel and Victor this afternoon. I was really surprised by what I heard, I couldn't even imagine how subtle it was to trap Victor and throw him in jail.

Then she also had a child from her relationship with Victor and educated him hard, even before he married me. She had pressured her daughter not to see her again and asked her to act like a stranger when they met by accident.

"So that's why her face looks like Claretta's?" I muttered, recalling my encounter with that Kalea boy, the daughter of Claretta and Victor.

They plan a crazy thing to get rid of Ansel's mother and daughter. Then to my surprise, they completely got rid of Ansel's mother tragically.

"He threatened me that I would interfere in his affairs and protect my wife and in-laws ...." I muttered that I could not continue my words when I recalled Ansel's non-playful threat.

"Hah~ forget! Let's do something else to solve this problem." I immediately contacted my first son to help me solve all this mess.

Sorry Ansel, if you forbid me. I even wanted to get involved. You shouldn't have to ban me and give me a shot like that. My mind is smiling without me noticing.

"... yes, you don't have to worry about me brother, I just finished taking care of that driver." I said while bringing my henadphone closer to my right ear.

"Yes, you can meet him now. Emh... Should I bring this si*lan driver?" I continued while glancing at the middle-aged man before me, the man who was prostrating asked for forgiveness from me.

"Of course."

"Alright, I'll catch up with you soon." I said before turning off my phone.

"Sa–I beg you to forgive me sir. I–just got an order to stop the car because he said the driver was drunk. Ja–di I chased after it, ta–but because my car brakes blong, I so lost control and hit the car. I ti–dak realize the brakes are blong," he said with his trembling body.

"Come on, I'm not sure." I said to his surprise, "I've checked the viability of your car and the cctv footage around the accident area. Even I can see your expression on the dashboard camera in your car ..," I continued, recalling the footage I had seen.

It seems like he deliberately turned his camera around to hide the true events when he deliberately crashed into mom's car very hard. But she didn't realize that her camera was looking at her and recording her disgusting expression.

He seemed to enjoy his work, his big smile when he managed to hit the mother's car really made me feel emotion many times over.

"Cont!" My feet stared at him before raising my fists in his face.

- That's it

I opened my phone when I got a message from an unknown number.

Delay the arrest of Claretta and her mother for three days! If you don't obey me, then I'll make a calculation with you. My mind when I read that message.

"Message threat? Who would dare threaten me like this?" My murmur could not hold my smile.

"You crazy?" Ansel's voice surprised me with his cold gaze.

"Your mouth is so insolent, Ansel. Forget it and look at this!" I said while throwing my headphone at him, deftly he managed to catch it and read the contents of the message on my headphone.

"This?" He looked at me seriously.

"You playing with him? Looks like it'll be fun ...." My advice is to show my smile again.
