The Shackles of Love Papa Lift Me
Chapter 67. Ericko's Offer

...🍀🍀🍀...

The big men stood in front of the gate of the Orlando mansion, they bowed when they saw the arrival of Aileen like she had known the woman.

"Welcome, miss!"

Sam and Aileen enter the Arlando mansion together. But as he was about to enter the mansion deeper, Sam's steps had to come to a halt by force as the men of great stature blocked his path, forbidding Sam to enter.

"Sorry sir, you can't get in!" those men's hands are holding Sam out there.

"I have to go in with him!" sam said firmly and forced to enter.

"She's gone with me, let her in!" aileen's word to those men. But they ignored it. "Hey! You guys hear no?" the girl was getting angry from being ignored.

"Sorry miss, but sir after waiting. You better get in" said Toni who suddenly was at the door of the luxury house. Toni looked at Aileen sharply, the girl looked back at her sharply.

He must not be afraid for Leon and he must not forever be a spoiled child behind his adoptive father.

"Don't go in" Samuel said to Aileen, forbidding her from going in there.

"Sister, wait here. I won't be long. After all, this house is my family's home as well and you don't have to be afraid." said Aileen while calming Sam. He was also afraid that Sam would be involved far away with him, or even injured by a dozen people of large, tall and creepy.

"But Ai-" Sam looked at Aileen doubtfully.

"Just calm down, nothing will happen to you. Sir just wait here," said one of the guards in the mansion speaking in a flat tone.

"It's okay, brother!"

Toni drove Aileen into the luxurious mansion, she looked around the mansion. Lots of antiques in it, but Aileen admitted that the wealth of the Orlando family can not be underestimated.

Strangely enough, Aileen felt uncomfortable when she went inside. His aura and atmosphere made him want to leave from there right now.

Papa..by papa, I must be brave! Aileen's mind was encouraging herself.

"It's over, miss," said Toni as she opened the door of a room with a black door.

Aileen did not even realize that she had reached her destination. Without saying anything to Toni, Aileen entered the room. He circulated his gaze here and there, looking for the figure of the evil grandfather.

"Have you come my grandson?" greet an old man with a stick in his hand. Aileen was flabbergasted to see the figure of the old man, looking not creepy at all to him. It looks so ordinary and weak.

The old man smiled at her, welcoming Aileen warmly. Even unexpectedly she gave Aileen a hug.

Is he my brother? Papa says he's dangerous, that means he's dangerous, right? Why does he look weak and helpless?

"You're so pretty, you inherited a lot of your father's genes. Let alone those blue eyes of yours," Ericko said as he rubbed Aileen's face gently, but the girl rejected him.

He was still wary of what Ericko was doing. Aileen still remembers clearly that Leon was shot by her grandfather. But he had yet to see firsthand where this cruel and dangerous figure of his grandfather was.

"Sorry sir, I won't talk much. I'm here to ask you to drop your demands on my father" explained Aileen firmly and unwilling to look weak in front of Ericko.

Ericko smiled smirk and made Aileen surprised because the old man could show a creepy look on his face. Aileen took a sip of her own saliva, vowing she was very tense with Ericko's gaze on her, like an eagle about to pounce on a prey.

Ericko's gaze, looked at Aileen from head to toe. Aileen is getting more and more stubborn.

"Sir, I'm asking you. Please answer!" exclaim Aileen with a rising voice.

"Why are you like this to your own grandfather, huh? Why do you defend your adoptive father so much? He's a bad boy, he's killed your dad and your mama and he's taking care of you just for the treasure!" Ericko hoped Aileen would be affected by his remarks. But the old man was wrong.

Aileen smiled grinningly. "Sorry sir, you don't know anything about my father. It's true, you have the same blood as me, but I know my father better than I know you. So-don't say anything about my papa."

"Hahaha.it turns out you're an innocent kid but not a fool. You look like your father." Ericko laughed, his laughter was so scary for Aileen. "Alright, so tell me there's a need for my granddaughter to come here?"

"I beg you, withdraw your claim to my papa!"

"I'm sorry I can't" she replied directly into Aileen's heart. Rejection is very sharp, even talking without thinking.

"But-"

"I have an offer for you, if you want to free your father."

Aileen was choked because Eriko cut off her speech. He looked at the man who had a face not much different from his late father.

Well, surely it's not free. Oh, my God, is it true that my grandfather wasn't a good man?

"What is that sir?" tanyakanya.

"Come to my grandson, I'll whisper something and I'll show you something" Ericko told the grandson with a grin on his face.

Aileen approached and obeyed Ericko, the old man whispered to Aileen and showed a piece of paper in front of her.

"WHAT? I don't want to!"

"Everything that happens to Leonardo Xavier next is your fault, if you want him to suffer. Well, I won't force you to accept my offer."

"That-that's..." Aileen lowered her head in agitation.

"Think about it!" ericko told Aileen. "I'm sure you don't want your beloved father to lose everything, don't you? Losing everything for the sake of his adopted son." added Ericko who made Aileen's current dilemma.

He crushed the paper I don't know what it was. But Ericko instead smiled satisfied to see his grandson depressed.

I couldn't suppress your papa, now I'm going to press you.

The capital's regional police station.

Now that Leon is in the room, he meets with Bram to discuss the matter of Ferdian disappearing without a trace. Leon also asks Bram about Aileen's whereabouts.

"There is no other choice, we have to find another lawyer, Yon" Bram said, rubbing his hair violently. He pityes Leon who will lose everything in the blink of an eye because of this case. Even the company has started to get affected.

"Haihhhh..is it going to be difficult for me to get out of here because of the evidence that the old man has?"

"Don't be discouraged, I'll always help you."

"I believe that.but where is Aileen? I asked you to bring her here, she must be worried about me." said Leon, he already knew Aileen was worried about him at this time.

Leon's question only made Bram swallow his saliva violently. Leon sharpened his eyes on Bram. "Bram, where's Aileen?" ask Leon sharply.

Spoiler 🤧🤧

"I'm sorry pa, I'm sorry.I did all this for papa's sake. I can't bear to see papa lose it all for my sake. Let me return the goodwill of the father who raised me all along." - Og Aileen, staring at the man in the prisoner's uniform who now sleeps on the floor without any pedestal. The man's face looked bruised and bruised.
