The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
Eps. 127
Alex's car enters a beautiful looking countryside. His right left was surrounded by hills and plantations.
His car slowly pulled over in front of the wooden fence. Inside the fence was a small brown wooden house. Although small, the house has a fairly spacious yard and looks beautiful because it is decorated by various types of flowers that are neatly arranged.
It appeared that an old man was seriously making a small sculpture out of wood. His hands seemed skilled at making indentations on the wood he was holding.
A girl appeared to walk up to the old man with a tray. There were two cups and a plate on the tray.
Alex stood quietly watching the two other generations talking cheerfully. The old man seemed to be enjoying the food as well as the drink the girl had prepared for him.
The two of them had yet to notice the presence of that handsome young man who had since looked towards them. The beautiful girl accidentally saw Alex. A sweet smile and her eyes suddenly sparkled looking at the young man.
"Sir Alex." said excitedly.
Alex just nodded with a flat face. He walked into the courtyard regardless of the adoring gaze of the beautiful girl in front of him.
"How's Lana's grandfather doing?" alex asked while in front of the old man named Lana.
"Much better." replied Lana smilingly looking at Alex.
"Zea, make me a warm drink for Mr. Alex" Lana said realizing that Alex wanted to discuss important matters with him.
The beautiful girl excitedly returns to the house to make a drink for Alex.
"I've confirmed to Mr. Timothi and from his reaction, what you said is true" Alex said.
"So you want to know more about the past from me?" ask Lana.
"Yes, I want to know the real events so that I can ascertain what actions I should take afterwards." Alex said.
"I can tell you everything I know." said the old man, smilingly looking at Alex.
"What do you want in return." Alex asked straight to the point.
"Tarta or position is not a useful thing for men smell of soil like me" said the old man.
"Go to the point" said Alex.
"You know yourself, Zea is the only relative I have and vice versa. I was the only relative she had." Lana said and sighed pausing her sentence.
"I just want you to promise to look after and be....
"I can give the girl a future if it's just a scholarship and I can give the guards to give her a sense of security but, if to let her be by my side then, then, the secret you have is not worth it." said Alex then left the old man who was smitten by Alex's words.
The man looked at his grandson who was still glued to him with a tray in his hand. He knew that his request was a little excessive. But, he saw Zea's adoring gaze, the girl was back in excitement after Alex was present in their lives.
Just once he wanted to be selfish for his dearest grandson but, the young man thoughtlessly immediately rejected his idea.
The man tried to prevent Alex's departure after coming to his senses from his shock but the young man had already left the place.
"Zea.." he called to see Zea running into the house.
As for Zea, the girl went straight into her room and slammed the door. He dropped himself on the bed and cried.
"Am I not worthy of Alex? What's my lack?" zea Mumm.
"No, I can definitely get the young man I want anyway." he muttered while wiping away the tears on his cheek.
The girl took a key inside and looked at the key with a smile.
"I know the right way to have him." he murmured.
"Why do you have this key?" Lana was suddenly already inside the room and took the key in the girl's hand.
"I know all the secrets that Grandpa kept. I also know that grandfather has spent almost all of his grandfather's possessions, Mr. Alex. I just wanted to use that thing to have the man I wanted grandfather to be with." Zea surprised Lana.
"Baa...Like...
"I know all from Diki's grandfather and grandfather's conversation the other day." Zea replied honestly.
"You mean also knowing about our involvement in what Alex's grandfather was going through, right? Aren't you bothered and guilty that your grandfather was involved in a crime scheme on the family of the man you love?" ask Lana.
Lana and Diki are distant relatives of his late grandfather Alex so they know the secret that master Timothi is hiding. They were even the ones who helped get rid of the man for master Timothi.
Property can indeed destroy kinship. Moreover, master Timothi let them have all the treasures of his grandfather Alex if he managed to get rid of the man.
One they did not expect, in order to get rid of the problem in the future. Mr. Timothi undertakes a scheme to get rid of them however, they both manage to survive and bring the relics of his Grandfather Alex.
That was why they could be in that village to dodge master Timothi.
"I don't care. I just want to be with Mr. Alex." said Zea.
"Alright, grandfather will help you have the young man as well with his possessions" Lana said with a sly smile.
Elsewhere, Mr. Timothi has been transferred to the treatment room because he has passed a critical period.
The old man was only accompanied by his trusted assistant because his Son and son-in-law were busy dealing with their daughter's problems.
They try to contact Alex to help but nil. Looking for connections to help solve the problem but, no one dared to help them cheat.
"What about the case ....
"Young master and mistress are taking care of him big master. You still have to rest and not have much thought." said the old man who sat not far from Mr. Timothi's bed.
"Find out where Alex can find out the secret. I want the person who opened the secret to regret it." said Mr. Timothi.
"Well, big master" said the old man, then contacted someone and gave the order that Mr. Timothi wanted.
"Find out where Alex's young master has been over the past few months and who he's met." He gave the order and then disconnected the phone after hearing the person's ability.
Not long after, Henrik and Jenni entered the room with grim faces. Seeing that, the old man knew that the matter that ensnared his granddaughter was still unresolved.
