THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 115's. Moscow 3
While I was leaving Dad talking to him I joined Vladimir to talk to more people. He introduced me to the Deputy Prime Minister for Defence and the Minister for Health, all of whom are in attendance here.
Vladimir called me the eldest son who will lead the Mashkov family so that everyone sees me, other than the fact that I am the one who brought this medicinal formula. The fact I've held a company in the US for a long time makes me look at as a reliable person.
And again I was asked my relationship with the Jovovich family, it seems everyone knows, but this time they knew I had a problem with Jovovich.
"I don't have a relationship with Jovovich. She's a stepfamily. Next time don't connect me to him." I deliberately didn't want to admit to our family relationship. Let me show it intentionally. Who wouldn't be sick of being used like that.
On the way home, Dad pondered a little before he spoke to me.
"You may have been too frontal, Oleq may not have known anything about it." I laughed at Dad.
"Dad why are you saying that naive thing. Obviously the number is operating in this area. Who else is in this area, you think I have enemies in the Kremlin after 20 years in exile in Canada?"
"It's not so, maybe he didn't know because it was not Margarita who asked for this but Sergie. Maybe it wasn't Oleq who set this all up."
"Then who?" It doesn't make any sense at all, I've been 20 years out of Moscow, where maybe I made enemies in Moscow, which made me enemies yesterday was the CIA not the KGB.
"Had you guessed a cousin of Sergie, there were some Jovovich working there. Oleq apparently would not dare to take such a method, he and Margarita knew he needed Dad's money to survive. If he's involved in such a scheme there's a lot of risk they're taking. Plus the future of the company leadership at that time could have fallen into your hands. I don't think he's gonna be that stupid, but yeah maybe the other Jovovich family. That's why he really doesn't know." Dad explained at length, the same, if his family is involved it carries the name Jovovich as well.
"I don't care, their name is Jovovich." Jovovich used to think I was an enemy, so they're all the same. So what difference does Jovovich make, which makes them sick of getting credit for my hard work but those who do benefit." Frankly I still have emotions seeing it.
"Well, I know your upset feelings, it's wrong I can't see what Margarita's keeping either. But maybe next time you don't be too hard, however he is the head of the Jovovich family. It is not good to offend too hard, satire is quite useful. Maybe he wasn't involved. The old men thought far enough ahead to come up with such a scheme."
"Ohh Dad's sure he's playing in satire. Why don't you insinuate him." I wonder why you didn't rebuke him for this matter. If he knew what he still had the courage to show face here.
"Margarita actually said her sister wasn't involved. He begged not to continue the matter. In exchange, he doesn't mind you taking Sergie to the ring. I don't think he knows. There's no point in insinuating him because he doesn't know." Dad explained it at length to me.
" He knows now because I told him, Dad said that as a suggestion to him. It's best that he advises Margarita and whoever Jovovich did this to apologize to me." Silent dad. I'm still continuing my complaints against Jovovich.
"Other times if I bring the family disgrace out of its place it might be better. I'll tell you Jovovich was gonna kill me, I'll see how her colleagues see it. Jovovich tried to kill me I'd try to kill their reputation." I wonder why Daddy's so soft on them. He was often helped by Jovovich.
After that meeting I didn't hear from Jovovich anymore, I was only in Moscow for four days, another one was filled with Uncle and Aunt, and I was in Dad's office.
Last night in Moscow. I didn't know I'd see Jovovich again. I never thought they would come to surprise me.
"Jovovich?"
Artur Jovovich here? What's he doing here?
"Yes he's waiting in the lobby." Jovovich here? What was? Looking for trouble? I'll serve him if he's right to look for trouble. I'll be down to the lobby.
If he's looking for trouble, I won't hand over the CEO to Uncle, I'll take the CEO position just to make the calculations to Jovovich, at least I can complicate their loan disbursement. And take it easy I will spread what they do, with people like him there are always enemies who want to take advantage of his fall.
I rushed down to the lobby, only to find she was not alone there was someone with her. But that guy was behind me so I couldn't see his face.
"Sir Artur, a surprise to get you here?" I arrived in front of the old man and to his surprise it was the man who was Sergie's coach back then. He should have arranged my murder instead of Artur Jovovich, so they used local manpower, if Artur wanted to kill me I should have died at the hands of a KGB agent. Why am I not flattered. Ironical...
"You, you weren't the coach who was with Sergie at the time?" I pointed at him directly. So it turns out this is also Jovovich.
"Yes it was me. My name is Yuriy Jovovich "So it turns out that he's some kind of cousin, because Artur Jovovich brought him here must be a family connection to Sergie.
"What are you guys doing here?" Of course I wonder why the Jovovich family is so crowded here.
"We want to apologize,..." I laughed at Artur's words. Apparently there's an apology dictionary in this family. I think they're the kind of people who know they're the masters of the world apologizing not in their dictionaries.
But this Patriarch of the Jovovich family's parents stood in front of me and apologized. Wh why? They're afraid I'm troubling them because I'm the next leader my father chooses. There is nothing they are too sincere about their apologies.
"I'm sorry? Apologize for what, you can explain." I folded my hands in front of my chest. What a surprise is this. In 36 years of my life there hasn't been a single person of Jovovich's blood to apologize to me. "Why are you sorry. Don't pretend you don't know better, why bother apologizing."
"Speak..." Arthur told him to talk now. He was referring to the young man who was beside him.
"It was actually me who arranged the accident and the people who hit you. I'm sorry I made it difficult for you. And this is what he was told to come here and confess.
"Ohhh..." Now the thief comes to admit he's guilty, a pleasant surprise turns out. "So you're sorry for an attempted murder, next time I'll try to kill you first and apologize then, how about it." I'm laughing right now, they think an apology is that after you failed to kill you can apologize and take advantage of that person again. Real smart.
"At that time even if the order was to make you seriously disabled we knew it wouldn't work. We made them follow you, they said there should be special bodyguards but they couldn't find where he was. So I already knew that an ambush like that would not work. Moreover, the quality of the people we were wearing was dubious, so we knew it would not work, just trying to deter you, he said, we knew there would be a high chance of being attacked back, but Sergie insisted she wanted to beat you up. I was just making sure we couldn't be tracked."
"Why are you sorry now, weren't you caught?" I looked at him cynically.
