The Cold Wife
Season 3 (60)

Bugh!

A hard fist managed to land on the face of an old man who had now fallen on the floor. Suddenly the atmosphere of the office was suddenly boisterous by the sound of screeches of people who witnessed it. The culprit was none other than Gabriel. And the man on the floor was Zhea's stepfather, Liam Smith.

"What the...." Not finished the man spoke, Gabriel again raised a loud fist until the tip of the man's lips spit out blood and his body went limp for a moment. The man was lying on his back with his eyes closed as he endured the pain that spread to his joints. It seemed like today he was really unlucky, having failed to sign the employment contract. Now meet with Gabriel who suddenly beat him all out.

Gabriel pulled the collar of the man's shirt with eyes reddened in anger. "Basic jerk! After desecrating your stepson, you still live quietly apparently. You b*j*ng*n who don't deserve to live. Be thankful that I'm still forgiving you."

The man looked at Gabriel confused. "Who are you? How dare you. You don't know who I am, huh? I'm the head of this company." The impact tried to release Gabriel's hand. Unfortunately the man's energy was too strong for him who was already old.

Gabriel snorted accompanied by a small grin. "Even I can destroy this useless company of yours in seconds. Don't you think I don't know the dark business you're running, Liam. Drug transactions, theft of natural resources, buying and selling of rare animals. Do I need to mention everything huh?"

Liam was stunned to hear it. How could he know everything. Who the hell is he?

"Look at my face all right, only a useless person doesn't know who I am." Imbuh Gabriel with a thick murderous gaze. It made anyone who looked at him tremble in fear. Including Liam of course.

Who the hell is he? Why can only his gaze intimidate me? Inner Liam.

"You must remember! Anyone who deals with my wife in the past or the future, then deals with me as well. Never show your face in front of me for a second if you still want to live." Gabriel pushed the man violently, then left the place without a word.

Before that Gabriel had crossed paths with Zhea's biological mother. The woman looked at Gabriel in shock. Gabriel just ignored him.

Berta, the mother of Zhea was shocked not to play when she saw the condition of her husband. He screamed and immediately approached the husband who was still sprawled. "What's going on, baby?"

Berta helped Liam get up. Then carry him into the room. For powerless to hold back his face water if he continues to be there.

Arriving in the room, Berta helps Liam sit on the sofa. Then hurried to get the medicine box. Then he sat down next to Liam.

Liam looked at his wife sharply. "Who is that guy? Do you know him? Looks like he recognized your stupid daughter."

Berta swallowed his saliva. "He's one of the sons of the Digan't Group."

"What?" Surprised Liam with a pias face. "Damn! How could I not recognize him?"

Berta himself seemed to tremble while opening the medicine box. Then treat her husband carefully. He knows what is happening right now. If it has dealt with the Digantara family, it means they are in a position of danger. "Actually, did you really not rape my daughter back then?"

"Now you doubt me? After what I gave you, huh? You even trust your useless daughter more, damn it."

"However she's my daughter." Sahut Berta with a soft tone.

"Chew, now you've just admitted she's your daughter. Is it because he's famous now huh?"

Berta did not answer.

"Whatever I've done to her, it won't change things. Your daughter has thrown you out completely." Liam said with his face.

"It wasn't him who dumped me, but I threw it away, Liam. You have to remember that." Berta said. "It also happened because I trusted you too much."

Liam laughed bitterly. "Now you're sorry for throwing away your source of money huh? Isn't that what you're trying to say?"

Berta. "We'd better apologize to him, Liam. I'm scared...."

"Who are you afraid of, huh? The guy who beat me up? He's still a snot kid who doesn't know anything about business. All my life I've never been afraid of anyone." Sela Liam blocked Berta's jaw with a flash of anger in her eyes. Berta tried to let go of her husband's hand.

"Listen to me, Liam. We've been dealing with the wrong people. We'd better persuade Zhea to come back to us. That way our lives will be safer."

Hearing that Liam immediately released his grip. But his gaze is still dull. "So you want me to admit what I've done in the past, huh?"

Berta nodded slowly. Spontaneous Liam laughed bitterly. "You think I'm stupid? With me confessing, you think that stupid girl will forgive me and you are?"

"That's all we can do, Liam. Your company's almost ruined now, too."

Both of Berta's hands clenched hearing that.

You fucking guy! If it wasn't for your wealth, I wouldn't be your slave. Now that you're almost broke, I wouldn't want to spend time with a perverted old man like you. Just look, after I got my daughter's heart again. I'll throw you out. Or maybe I could make you a scapegoat. Inner Berta smiled faintly.

"All right, I'll make sure you get what you want. But set a meeting time with my daughter. Now that she was no longer an ordinary girl, it was hard to make an appointment with her." Said Berta but thought again. All he thought about right now was the wealth he would get from Zhea.

Liam smiled with satisfaction. "That's easy, as soon as I make an appointment with him. Make sure on that day I get what I want. I still can't forget those wonderful memories. He really spoils mine."

Berta was completely fed up with her husband's perverted nature. If he had believed in his daughter, he probably wouldn't have stuck with the man in front of him. However, Berta was not entirely sorry about that. Because living by his side he can take a sip of luxury and enjoy life. No matter the fate of his own daughter out there. Just tell them they're a good couple. One is a jerk, and the other is j*l*ng.

Currently Zhea looks busy serving customers who want to hire his services. The girl looks so good at responding to every customer request while occasionally changing the design.

Sky who had been there for a visit smiled in admiration. He never expected the girl who a few years ago looked messy now turned into a graceful and great girl. Even his name has become a lot of spotlight lately. Sky felt like he was dealing with a different girl. After disappearing for a while, Zhea returned with a different appearance and a career that skyrocketed. What a change that managed to make Sky even more amazed at him.

Moments later, Zhea was done with her work. Then we approached Sky.

"Aunty, I'm sorry for making you wait so long." He said as he sat next to the woman. And hugged him tightly. "Ah, it feels like I want to keep coming at you like this. My fatigue is gone."

Sky laughed a little hearing that. Then return Zhea's embrace warmly.

"How's Grandma doing? Is his condition improving?" Zhea asked as she closed her eyes.

"Thank God your Grandma is so much better."

"Alhamdulillah." Zhea Sahut. "What about Violet? Is there any news from him?"

Sky snuggle. "The boy did not want to go home and chose to settle there."

Hearing that Zhea broke her embrace. "What about Dustin? Did he catch up with her?"

Sky nodded again. "Connected Violet still does not want to be persuaded. So Dustin was just monitoring him from afar. Hah, Aunty hope their relationship improves quickly. What else did Aunty hear Violet was pregnant."

"Huh? Violet's pregnant?" Shocked Zhea shut her mouth in disbelief.

Sky breathed heavily. "Let's know, our family has been fucked up since the beginning. That's why Aunty hopes for you so much. Accept Gabriel's proposal, will you?" Please hold Zhea's hand gently.

Zhea looked at Sky meaningfully. "I'm just not sure if Gabriel's serious, Aunty. It didn't make sense that he would suddenly take this marriage for granted. Everything seems weird."

Sky nodded in understanding. "Aunty knows how you feel, Zhe. Maybe Aunty would think the same if you were in your position. But... Aunty was sure Gabriel wasn't messing around right now. Aunty noticed, lately Gabriel looks seriously at work. Even his Daddy was astonished because of the change of his son. Usually Gabriel always misses important meetings in the company. But these few days he was different, even the boy managed to attract some big clients in a short period of time."

"Oh yeah?" Shocked Zhea.

Sky nodded confidently. "It seems like he's starting to think about his future."

Zhea smiled faintly. "May he really change."

"Aamiinu. And the one who changed it was you, Zhea." Praise Sky. At once Zhea's face blushed.

"Aunty. How could I be the cause? Maybe he's starting to realize what he's been doing wrong."

Sky smiled. "Gabriel is very similar to his Daddy. His nature, his behavior, even his stubbornness were the same. Uncle also before marriage very jerk, continue to change partners. But after marriage, her loyalty was beyond doubt. I don't know, Aunty wishes Gabriel was like his Daddy."

Zhea nodded. "Aamiin's."

"So? You're taking it, aren't you?"

"Aunty." Rengek Zhea covered her face in embarrassment. Sontak Sky also laughed amusedly because of the adorable behavior of his future daughter-in-law.
