The people around them immediately gathered around them. Suddenly, Noah let go of the boy's hand, and Verrel took the opportunity to run away from Noah. "What's wrong, kid?" A man immediately caught Verrel's body, bent half of it, and held Verrel's shoulders. Seeing many people gathered, Verrel finalized his acting by crying even harder. "Help me." He pointed at Noah with his index finger. "This guy wants to kidnap me." Noah looked at him with a cold stare. "He's lying. I only prevented him from throwing a tree branch into the fish pond." Verrel shook his head vigorously. "No, he didn't. He lied." Verrel held up the tree branch while sobbing. "I wanted to hit him with this branch to protect myself, but he held my hand and wanted to pull me away." Noah was a little surprised to hear what the eight-year-old boy had to say, but he was already speaking like an adult who was good at licking his tongue. Noah had no idea that such a small child could lie and make up stories so cleverly,
Noah stared intently at Edward. He could never forget the man's face. Even his distinctive voice, which sounded a little hoarse when he used to insult him, still rang clearly in Noah's ears.When Noah was Ruby's husband, he worked odd jobs for that man. The men who worked odd jobs knew Noah had a wonderful wife. It often made Noah the subject of ridicule, and one of them was Edward.Noah rolled his eyes. "Ah, you, Edward. It's here.""How rude." Edward gave Noah a sharp look. He scrunched his waist arrogantly. "You're just an employee, you idiot! How dare you call me names with such disrespect."Noah remembered very well how the man had behaved back when he had been an office boy at Edward's company, and even then, he had been introduced by Ruby. Ever since Noah started working, Edward had never liked Noah."You're a horrible person. Your work is ugly, untidy, and sloppy!" Those words that Edward's mouth often said to Noah, even though all the work that Noah did was perfect compared t
"Of course, I know about it. Do you even know what structural is?" Edward snorted in annoyance. "Pretentious, asking something like that." He lifted his chin arrogantly. "The leader in this company is Thomas Coopers."That was true. Thomas Coopers was the leader in the mall because Noah made him the CEO of this mall. Edward mentioned it confidently, but Noah wasn't sure if they knew each other.Seeing Noah's reaction, which seemed to be silent, made him confident and sure that Noah was surprised by that. "Why are you silent? You're surprised to hear that, aren't you?""We are part of the people who own shares here, so you should understand that." Edward pointed it out, explaining to Noah that he and Robin were shareholders in the Grand Nationwide Mall.He was delighted to say that. Back then, he had a lot of respect for Ruby, who was smart and became a successful career woman. They had worked together on a project to win a tender, but they lost. However, he was not disappointed with h
"How dare you call me an ass." Edward looked very angry now. The veins on his face stood out very clearly at the tip of his right temple. "You're the one who sucks, damn it.""How dare you push my husband so hard that he almost fell into the pool." Gisel did not stay silent in Edward's defense. He pulled Edward's arm away from the pool. "You are indeed a bad man."Gisel rubbed Edward's chest. I wonder what would have happened if Edward had fallen into the pool. It would be embarrassing and ruin their reputation in front of Robin and Annela. Gisel could even feel Edward's heartbeat racing because the man must have been shocked by Noah's treatment earlier.Gisel rubbed Edward's arm with a searching look. "Are you okay?" Edward only replied with a nod of his head. Gisel looked back at Noah sharply. "It's unbelievable. You mistreated your former boss, Noah."Noah rolled his eyes at their banter. "You're the one who started first.""What are you talking about? You attacked me, and now you'
Everyone looked in the same direction. A man in a black suit approached them with a stern face. It was Stanley, the manager at the mall."Why is there such a big commotion?" Stanley was among them and instantly fell silent when he saw Noah.Noah stared at the mall manager. Moments before coming to the mall, Noah had told the manager and leader of the mall that Noah was coming there, but he hadn't told them exactly when he was coming, so they hadn't prepared anything.Originally, Stanley had come over to the crowd because he heard a disturbing commotion. He had intended to break up the commotion, but seeing Noah in the middle of it made him worry.Not long after Stanley's arrival, another man in a black suit approached them. "What's going on?"Robin and Edward's smiles appeared when they saw the man who had just arrived. "Mr. Thomas."Thomas Coopers, the head of the mall, had to intervene to see the commotion. He had come downstairs to prepare everything for Noah's arrival."Mr. ...."
Thomas and Stanley immediately bowed before Noah with looks of regret and even fear on their tense faces."Forgive us, sir." They didn't even dare to look Noah in the eye. "We didn't expect something like this to happen. We're very sorry about this."They would have regretted it if they hadn't come to break up the commotion, as Noah might have been taken to the security post. That would be very dangerous for them."We should have prepared everything for your arrival here, but we were too negligent that such an embarrassing incident had to happen." Thomas clutched his chest with great regret on his face.Noah understood that because he also announced his arrival right when he arrived, it was natural that they had not had time to prepare anything; after all, he did not need an excessive welcome. Precisely this way, he could supervise directly."It's okay; the important thing is that now everything is done." Noah's words made Thomas and Stanley feel a little relieved.Seeing Noah, who wa
Oh, Miss Gisel." The policeman immediately smiled when he realised Gisel was there. It was a coincidence that the policeman knew Gisel. "What exactly is going on here, Miss?"Gisel smiled at the arrival of the familiar policeman. She had dealt with Richard many times. Whenever she got into trouble with the law, Gisel always bribed Richard.Whether she was at fault or not, Richard would always get her out of trouble. And just like before, this time, she was also confident that Richard would come back to her defence and help them to imprison Noah easily.Gisel tidied up her clothes, which were a little messy after fighting with Noah. "You see, this man is very problematic. When we were in the mall, he almost kidnapped this kid."Gisel pointed at Verrel, which Robin immediately approved, and Annela's head nodded. "Yes, he wanted to kidnap our son and even hurt him."Noah narrowed his gaze, finding it hard to believe they were still bringing it up when it was clear that the little boy was
The man-called commander approached them with his brow furrowed at Richard's handcuffed state."Commander Simon." Richard approached the 60-year-old man with some difficulty moving. "Look at what that man did to me."Richard twisted his body, exposing both of his hands that Noah had handcuffed. Simon watched him with confusion as to how could an ordinary man handcuff a police officer."How did this happen?" Simon turned his body back to look for the handcuff key, but he couldn't find it."This crazy man came to make a scene and fought with us, then Mr Richard came and helped us to arrest this crazy man, but what happened was that man handcuffed Mr Richard's hands," Edward explained what happened but didn't tell the actual events, even adding things that didn't happen."He even threw the key somewhere, and we tried to look for it but couldn't find it," Gisel added to the incident that Noah had done on purpose.Simon raised his hands while shaking his head in disbelief. He looked at Noa
