The picture is really scattered. It causes a lot of rumors and speculation. But Billi, who is responsible for addressing the media and netizens, reversed the situation and attacked slander spreaders and made demands on related accounts. Of course it was West, Jerry didn't do it because he had the money. But because of that too, Steven pulled his sponsor back. Just poor Jerry.
Even so the media was successfully controlled, but not for the environment around Clara. Some of his college friends looked curiously at him and Jun. No wonder they suspect both. Because Jun was indeed a handsome young man. What he wears is also from a famous brand.
"I think you should change the bodyguards for a while, Clar, Jun is too flashy especially after the photo is spread." suggested Lusi while they were in the library.
Clara opened her mouth, about to speak but her voice would not come out. He looked left and right, where many eyes were watching him. But when he met Clara's eyes, they would just wave a small greeting. As if they did nothing.
Yet there was one group who looked at him with a sinister and fiery aura of hate. "They were the group that liked Jun all along. As far as I know the redhead is the chairman" said Lusi. Giggled amusedly at the sight of Jun who looked extremely distracted by what they were doing. Take her picture secretly.
'Jun's influence is great' Clara thought, that bunch of kids would indeed only be in the library if Jun was there to accompany her. Their goal was just to look at and take a picture of Jun secretly.
Jun sat at another table while guarding her. He lifted his face when he felt Clara's gaze for him. He looked at the girl back and then got up.
"Do you need anything?" ask Jun.
Clara shook her head, then wrote something on the little book she had been carrying everywhere. A place to write what he wants to say.
'You okay? If you are worried, you can wait outside. My job is in a moment.'
Reading that, Jun smiled warmly. Then take Clara's book and pen. Write something too.
'I'm doing fine.'
Clara nodded as she read it, then seemed to be wasting more time, she continued her duties with Lusi.
.
West was silent inside his company office. A lot of things have happened and the shares that fell have not been able to overcome. Because the focus is revenge on Steven. So he forgot he had a lot of other enemies who wanted to take him down. One of them is Aston. Which currently rises to the number two richest people in the world. While West himself slumped down to number 3. Steven who was affected by the case of his former fiance and Clara at first also slumped to number 8. After he dealt with it quickly, he regained his previous position.
"Honey, don't get too late in sadness and anger. You can get sick." said his wife who suddenly came.
"Get out, don't bother me." she said coldly.
His wife bit her lips with a frown. Annoyed that since the death of her stepson, her husband's attitude changed for her. With wide strides he left the West room with a face held in annoyance.
'I will repay my son's heartache. How dare you put him in a low position before his death.' his monologue.
"Swift, give Steven a dirty secret to NNews media. I want to destroy him right now." tell him to the Assistant who just came in.
The African woman who had been his assistant for the past few years nodded obediently in a voice. He soon left West alone again. Whispered something to West's secretary outside before leaving.
.
Steven was having a meeting with his company staff about their new project when Billi suddenly walked in and whispered something to him. Steven's face stiffened. He got up and asked Renjun to continue the meeting. After that out with Billi to his private workspace.
"An article published by NNews, a photocopy of the cooperation file with your signature, as well as some photos of you with members of the dark syndicate were published a few minutes ago. It's already spread out over many social media mister."
Billi showed me the article and as he walked, Steven noticed the photo. At that time he was 15 years old. Another photo from when he was 16 years old.
Arriving inside the office, he contacted the lawyer and Arnold. He sat leaning against his great chair with his head bowed.
"Tell Jun to see me now, get him to bring my girlfriend too."
"Okay sir," said Billi and directly connect Jun.
Jun who was currently waiting for Clara's last class when she received a message from Billi. Jun immediately entered the lecture hall and packed Clara's belongings. Apologize to the lecturer before taking Clara away.
Clara who did not understand just obeyed him. Because the note is in the bag. Jun also looked very serious and did not want to discuss anything.
On the way, Jun focused on his phone screen. Clara glanced at Carlos who also looked tense on the driver's bench. Clara pulled out her phone and went to check if there was anything on the internet.
As she read through the articles and some social media accounts, Clara finally recalled the rumors that Lusi had said about Steven.
'So that's true?'
Arriving in front of the lobby, Carlos turned the car into the rear parking lot of the building. They'll pass in the back because in front of the lobby door a lot of reporters. They were indeed blocked by the security guards, but if they saw Clara, it was clear they would chase after her to get something.
.
Steven was staring in his chair. No one's been out since he ordered Billi. Billi also did not dare to bother him anymore. Steven clearly doesn't want to.
The door opens and Rendun enters delivering Jun and Clara. They were all lined up in front of Steven's table.
"Clar .. come here."
Clara walked over to him. Steven's face looked very tired. He grabbed Clara's hand and took the woman to sit on her lap. Hugged it tightly. Clara glanced at the three people who were still loyal in front of Steven's table. Look at them confused.
After a few seconds passed, Steven raised his head. Hugged Clara's waist so she wouldn't fall but her eyes stared straight ahead. His aura changed completely, he was currently filled with many ideas and plans in his head.
"Jun, call Pixu."
Jun widened his eyes while the other two stared at them alternately with puzzled faces. Who is Pixu?
"Sir, you can no longer get involved with him."
"Who wants to get involved, I'm asking you to use tactics. Meet him as if we were going to ask for help. Then give him the drink that Aston made. After that it'll be my business to talk to him."
"You ... don't intend to poke_" Jun caught another flash in Steven's eyes then glanced at Clara who was staring at him with a frowned. He almost let go of the talk that Steven didn't give him a warning.
"It's just a threat, I'm not that stupid to make a big war with thousands of its members. Not to mention that the old man had a child who had been cruelly missed. That's not my solution. In the photo there are only my face and Pixu's. So this is just going to be an old friend's talk." Steven explained.
"Where is he now?" ask Jun.
"Bill, track down her whereabouts." she orders, turning to Billi who seems confused.
"Sorry sir, but who is Pixu?"
"Didn't you teach her anything?" steven's protest was half upset.
"I'm sorry, Bill's coming with me!" jun's orders, then get out of there.
"What should I do, sir? some journalists downstairs. Mr. Aston has also just contacted me because your number cannot be reached."
"The reporter's agent and tell Aston to keep his mouth shut."
"Yes? Hp ... Sir... I where brave." whine Renjun.
Clara who saw Renjun's funny face laughed in her voice. Of course it did not escape Steven's view. He waved at Renjun to chase him away. Then the big hand grabbed Clara's cheek for the girl to look at her.
"What's so funny Hmm? If you're comforted by Ren's ugly face do I have to make him whine every day?"
Clara breaks away and takes the blank pen and paper from Steven's desk. Write something there.
Steven didn't read it, he grabbed Clara's hand and pulled her back into his lap.
"You don't want to try to restore your voice? Don't you miss calling my name?"
Clara looked into Steven's sad eyes. He nodded because he did not want to answer.
"Clara .. You are not disabled, you can make your voice as long as you want. The doctor just said your voice was lost to trauma. You're not scared anymore, those two people are already in the law. So there's no reason to try it."
Clara kept quiet, she didn't want to answer Steven's question
.
Jun actually meets Pixu, an old geezer who still looks fit in his formal suit. They were sitting in a special room belonging to Pixu. It had been a long time since Jun had not seen the old geezer in front of him again.
"How are you, Jun?"
Jun raised his head which had been bowed since. Staring at the old man with his flat face. Not answering that greeting at all. He took out a picture and put it on the table.
"I know what you're trying to do, as well as your little master's plan. There's no need to make me drink that drink you brought. You know I'm gonna keep helping him."
Jun sighed, then completely abandoned his formal attitude. He took the tea from the kettle and poured it on the cup. Then he lifted the cup to his mouth, and drank the tea in one gulp.
"I heard you almost died in the hands of a cockroach. How can you ignore your own safety?"
"If you were worried then, why would you just shut up?"
Pixu laughed softly, giving Jun a warm, parent-like smile to his son. Jun was unaffected, he was still acting cold.
"You want to go, then I just make it happen. Anyway, I know your little master will save you. Why would I bother."
Jun grunted quietly. "If you already know what Steven wants, then there's no reason I'm here anymore."
Jun got up from his seat, saluted before turning away from the room. But his steps came to a halt as Pixu called out a single name.
"Clara, the girl ... "
Jun turned around, his face looking extremely tense. Pixu who saw Jun's reaction smirked happily.
"Why don't you try to get it? I can help you, he's good enough to be your companion. We just have to take it, right?"
Jun hardened his jaw. His eyes glinted in anger.
"Don't interfere and keep your hands off them. "
Pixu rose up, approaching Jun who was standing at the door. Grip his arm firmly. Their two eyes met, sending each other a strong aura of intimidation.
"You said you wouldn't get involved in anything dirty after the little boy you followed got away from me, right? Then how can he walk into the mud to drag you? Look at you, no better than me now."
Jun brushed off Pixu's hand so hard that it slipped out of his arm. Stare at him with anger.
"Don't try to influence me, he's different from you who've killed thousands of lives."
Pixu laughed loudly. Jun chose to leave from there. Leaving Pixu who was looking at him with laughter filled with ridicule.
