The Wasted Wife

Andrew Smith's Fury

The Smith family found out about Christine's escape after they returned from Karel's wedding to Bella.

Christine was indeed forbidden by her parents-in-law to participate in the wedding because they thought it could disrupt Karel and Bella's marriage.

Christine's rebellion, which does not accept Karel's marriage to Bella, is also a consideration for sending Christine home.

The empty house made Heather Smith, Christine's mother-in-law furious.

Since Karel married Christine, the maid at the Smith Family's house was dismissed by Heather for no apparent reason.

Christine was treated as the Smith Family's maid, and was obliged to do all the work the previous maid did.

The reason is corny, wanting to save money inherited from their ancestors.

For Haether Smith, daughter-in-law must be able to do all the household chores as she did before. But it wasn't really this reason that made Heather treat Christine like a maid in her big house.

Heather's crush on Christine before she married Karel, turns into hell for her when Karel proposes to become queen of the household.

Heather suddenly hates her for no apparent reason, which she constantly takes out on Christine to the point where she does not recognize Christine as a daughter-in-law by forcing Karel to marry Isabella Jones, whom Heather considers to be the perfect wife for Karel.

"You ungrateful woman! They have been given freedom at home, they even ran away with their Karel's kid!" she grumbled.

Andrew Smith, who owns Smith Industries, which operates in the steel and shipping sector, is also angry with Christine's escape.

For Andrew, Christine's escape would tarnish the great name of the Smith Family, which is highly respected by business people.

The Smith family will be seen as incapable of managing their own family, thus impacting the opinion of shareholders and business colleagues who may doubt Andrew manages his company.

"Why don't you lock this house, when we all leave!" Andrew scolded Heather which made this woman hate Christine even more.

"You damn woman! Having left this house, still leaving me in trouble!" Heather grumbled full of anger and hatred towards Christine.

"No one is allowed to leave the Smith Family without my permission!" he insisted.

"Who are we going to send after this woman?" Heather asked.

"You call Alice! She's really good at tracking someone down! I'm sure she'll bring her back to this house!" Andrew shouted.

Heather immediately took her cell phone and called Alice, who Andrew said was very good at tracking someone's whereabouts.

"Alice is still in Paris now! But she will arrive in London this afternoon to hear the chronology of Christine's escape!" said Heather continuing her conversation with Alice to Andrew.

"Too long to wait for Alice! That woman will run further and further with my grandchildren!"

KRAAAK! TRAAANG!

Andrew hit the glass of Karel and Christine's photo frame that was displayed on the living room wall until it broke, with his face flushed with emotion.

"Be patient Pa! Your high blood pressure will recur! We'll just send Adam, your bodyguard to chase her now, how about that?" Heather suggested.

"You call Adam here! Let me instruct him to go after that woman! Don't let Karel know that his wife ran away from home taking her two children with her!" Andrew messaged Heather.

"I'm not going to mess up Karel's honeymoon with Bella, just because of this woman's problem!" she insisted.

"Go on! Go there, call Adam over here!" he ordered.

For Heather who lived in the circle of the Smith Family, Andrew Smith's arbitrary and bossy attitude was familiar to her.

There was no feeling of hurt or displeasure with her husband's treatment.

Not long after, a well-built, well-dressed man walked up to Andrew.

"What's the need Boss called me?" asked this man.

"Adam! I want you to go after Christine! You know, the woman who became Karel's wife?" asked Andrew still full of emotion.

"I know Boss! But are you sure that Miss Christine has run away? Maybe she is taking her children out for a walk," Adam answered.

"Your job is only to obey my orders! Not explaining all your reasons to me!" Andrew insisted that made Adam speechless.

"Okay Boss!" he replied.

"Take two more people with you! Find Christine until she finds her, and force her back to this house!" he ordered.

Adam just nodded his head then walked away leaving Andrew.
