The Late CEO

The Part 34

"Good night Mr. Stanley and congratulations to you."

A voice came from behind Alex. Jaselyn who was very familiar with the voice became trembling, and clasped her own hands in fear.

Alex turned to see who was the one who spoke behind him.

"Thank you Mr. Stuart." Said Mr. Stanley.

Robert Stuart walked over, and as soon as he passed Jaselyn he immediately stopped his steps, then turned his head and looked at Darius who was looking down in fear.

"You! Brash kid, how are you..."

Robert Stuart's words stopped when he saw the person next to Jaselyn. Robert Stuart's eyes met directly with both of Alex's eyes looking at him with his cold gaze.

"Dominic Alexander, you.."

"Good night, Mr. Stuart. Long enough we didn't meet." Alex said, smiling d3vil at Robert Stuart.

"Mr Stuart knows and is close to Mr Dominic?" Ask Mr. Stanley.

Mr. Stanley's question dawned on Stuart, and he looked up at Mr. Stanley.

"Yes a little."

Alex carved out a smile as thin as he might hear an answer from Robert Stuart.

"Jaselyn, Papa needs to talk to you." Robert Stuart said to Jaselyn, who was still looking down on her face.

"Papa? I'm sorry, Mr Stuart, you called yourself Papa to Miss Jaselyn?" Said Alex.

"What's up, Mr Dominic? Is it wrong to use that name on my own child?"

"Haha.."

Alex's laughter was so loud yet so full of pressure, it made the person who heard it creep and fear.

"Sorry Mr. Stuart, do you have acute amnesia?" Alex said in a derogatory tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Haahh, well if Mr. Stuart doesn't remember, then I'll remind you. Dear Mr. Robert Stuart, a few days ago you had a press conference to announce that Jaselyn is no longer your son. But now you call yourself Papa in front of Miss Jaselyn and the people who are here. Do you mean you re-recognize Miss Jaselyn as your child?"

Robert Stuart was aghast, he had forgotten about that. Because I was so upset when I saw Jaselyn. In addition to these few days he was busy by some problems in the company done by someone, he said, so he can't remember announcing to everyone that Jaselyn is no longer part of the Stuart family.

The guests began to whisper and some of them deeply regretted Robert Stuart's actions to Jaselyn.

"Lord Dominica Alexander, this is none of your business. So you don't have to interfere." Robert Stuart said with annoyance.

"Hmm really? But if I say this will be my business how?"

"You.." Robert Stuart's hands clenched tightly, his jaws tightened with emotion.

"Mr Stuart."

Someone called Robert Stuart, and people turned to the sound of nothing except Alex and Jaselyn.

Robert Stuart's eyes opened wide to see who the person who called him was.

"Tu...Mister..."

Robert could no longer say, his entire limbs seemed stiff. While Alex who saw that smiled faintly.

"You're gonna be over this time old Stuart."

The man walked over, Robert nervously gulped his so difficult saliva.

"Have you forgotten our agreement, Mr. Stuart?" Say that guy.

"Tens..Of course I remember sir."

That person glanced at Jaselyn who was still loyal looking down with his fear.

"Oh is he that kid? The kid you threw away to get Mr Stuart's 500 million?" Said the person while staring at Jaselyn.

The question that was thrown from the mouth of the person made all the invited guests surprised, as well as Jaselyn yanh immediately looked up at the person who spoke.

A Robert Stuart who is so famous to be able to do so, they think if the news Robert Stuart sold his son is just gossip, but it turns out it did happen.

And the person who exposed the matter was the one who gave the 500 million dollars himself to the Stuart company.

Jaselyn's tears just flowed out hearing the words of people she didn't recognize at all.

Jaselyn quickly ran away from the party room, she also did not care about Alex and with the minds of the people who were there.

Alex, who saw Jaselyn running out, stared intently at Robert Stuart and the man who had just arrived. Although it was all Alex's plan, but seeing Jaselyn like that, Alex felt angry.

"Mr Stanley, I'm sorry I can't enjoy your party much longer." Alex told Mr. Stanley.

Alex turned around and walked quickly without hearing Mr. Stanley's reply.

"David, Leon takes care of everything here. Make that person can't stand in this country anymore."

"Good sir." Answer Leon.

Alex came out of the big room and looked for where Jaselyn was.

All of Alex's men searched, and Alex found Jaselyn sitting and crying in one of the parks not far from the hotel where the oesta was held.

Slowly Alex approached Jaselyn and crouched down in front of her.

"Tell me, mistake.... What mistake have I made, so that he was so cruel to me? Say Alex...? Jaselyn said in tears.

Alex hugged Jaselyn's body, and before long Jaselyn was crying in Alex's arms. She was really disappointed in her father, who had done all that to her.

Alex rubbed Jaselyn's back gently, and also kissed Jaselyn's shoulder a few times.

...----------------...

A few days after the events at the company celebration party P. Group, Jaselyn locked herself in her room again.

Alex and the servants had persuaded Jaselyn to leave the room for a while, but Jaselyn would not listen.

Slowly Alex opened the door to Jaselyn's room. After the door opened and entered, Alex saw Jaselyn sitting in front of the window of his room and maybe he did not realize that Alex was behind him.

"You daydreaming again?" Said Alex.

Alex's voice surprised Jaselyn who was daydreaming.

"An..You've gone home sir?"

".....Aye." Yeah."

Alex sat down in front of Jaselyn, and she gave Jaselyn a bunch of flowers.

"Why are you bringing flowers again?" Jaselyn asked slowly.

"Because I like."

Jaselyn just stared in wonder at Alex. He still could not believe that the person who had tortured him and made him think it was better to die, had now changed to him.

All the hubris Alex showed others, was never again shown to Jaselyn. A tone so cold to say to others, it was never again heard in Jaselyn's ear when Alex spoke to her.

"But this is overkill, every day you bring flowers for me. Do you want me to sell flowers?" Jaselyn stared at the flower Alex was carrying.

Alex chuckled at Jaselyn's words that looked annoyed. How not to be upset, already these four days every morning and evening Alex always gives Jaselyn different roses.

"I will continue to do so, until I feel that the distance between us is not so far away anymore."

"Distance?"

"Hemm yes, before you would have called me by my name. But now, you start calling me master again, didn't you agree to be my bride?"

Jaselyn was silent, she indeed started calling Alex master again after the events at the party. It was because Jaselyn felt she didn't deserve to be with Alex.

Although Alex has said that he is serious about making Jaselyn his bride, and will always protect her, Jaselyn is not ready to accept all the good things.

Jaselyn was afraid that after all the kindness she had obtained, her return would be discarded. Like his family who threw himself away.

"Taa...But.."

Alex touched Jaselyn's cheek and rubbed it gently.

"I've never played around doing anything, baby. So too with what I told you."

Jaselyn was silent, she did not know what to say. In his heart he felt happy, but also scared.

"I hurt you once, almost killed you. But really, now I just want to be with you and protect you. Maybe it's too late, but it's okay. I'd be willing to go to great lengths to keep you happy with me."

Jaselyn looked into Alex's eyes, looking for the gap of lies behind them. But he didn't find it.

"I.... I was thrown away once, and was unwanted..I just don't want to experience it again sir." Jaselyn began to shed her tears.

Listening to that Alex immediately hugged Jaselyn's body tightly, and kissed Jaselyn's shoulder.

"I swear I won't leave you, no matter what, Jaselyn."

Jaselyn's cry broke out in Jaselyn's arms, she didn't know whether she should be happy or grieving at the vow Alex had said for her.

Alex let Jaselyn cry until she was satisfied in his arms, she knew at this moment that was all Jaselyn could do to vent all her emotions.

Patiently Alex calmed Jaselyn down, she patted Jaselyn's back softly, until Jaselyn's cries finally stopped and changed with a gentle snoring.

Hearing Jaselyn's soft snoring voice, Alex was sure that now the woman in his arms was asleep.

Alex carefully lifts Jaselyn's body, then lays her on the bed.

"I'll keep you happy, and I'll fulfill my vow to you it's Jaselyn." Alex said slowly.

Alex kissed Jaselyn on the forehead, then covered her little body before she left Jaselyn's room.

Outside Jaselyn's room, David was already waiting for her to give a report.

"Working space." Alex said briefly.

The two of them walked towards Alex's study at the very end.

After they entered the room, Alex sat in his chair and David sat directly opposite him.

"Say." Said Alex.

"Everything is done according to plan, Stuart's company has experienced a decline in stock prices. As of this afternoon they had already suffered a loss of 1.2 billion."

"New 1.2 billion. They used my father's savings more than that. Anything else?"

"The man who helped the Stuart family was named Max. He was a friend of Robert's wife and they've had a lot of illicit relationships in some hotels."

"Do you know the name of the company?"

"Already, but after knowing if we're the ones dealing with them. Max no longer helps, he instead returns to his country and is no longer in touch with the family, except just to do it with Robert's wife."

Alex tapped on the workbench with his index finger.

"Send all the photos and videos of Stuart's wife and man's relationship to some media. But disguise Max's face, I want to see how old Stuart will deal with it." Said Alex.

"Good."

"The rest, we do as planned."

"What about William's family?"

"Adrian will take care of them. It's time to teach my sister to retaliate to those who have insulted and demeaned her."

"Well if that's the case."

"You'll only help her if she needs help. I'm sure he'll have fun."

"Of course."

Their conversation is over, David returns to his place and Alex goes to his room to clean up.
