Dangerous Billionaire

A new spirit

Jessica just finished eating with her family this morning. There was Kim’s grandfather in the main seat, and her two brothers were sitting on the left side of her grandfather. She was on his grandfather’s right.

“What about the construction of urban parks? Can the project get back into our hands?” Fredy Kim asked David who was struggling to get the project back.

“It’s hard enough, but I’m sure I’ll get it soon!” David was so confident.

“Good, then how about you Elsa, are you ready to go to college? I really hope you can study in college to be like your friends, Beryl and Chelsea,” her grandfather asked. He knew his granddaughter felt sad, so she slowly eroded his sadness. He gave a busy life that made Elsa not always think about her bad memories while living with Lexi.

“Tomorrow I’m ready to go to college, grandpa! Today I am going to finish my study on some of the materials that have been left behind. And Beryl’s gonna be here after college, too. Grandpa allowed him to come here, right?” Jessica suddenly remembered that Lexi never gave her permission to leave the house.

“Of course, I didn’t forbid you to be friends with Beryl or Chelsea again, which I didn’t want you to be so gloomy and sad all the time. I am sorry Elsa for what happened before and now you will be happy, here no one will do anything bad to you,” her grandfather said warmly. For a week, it was clear that his granddaughter did not seem enthusiastic.

“Thank you,” Jessica smiled. Even though there were her grandfather and two brothers, sometimes she wanted to talk to other people who knew her life.

“What about you, Daniel? Did you do what I told you to do!” her grandfather asked. That’s what he did every morning for breakfast.

“Sure, I already sent it!” Daniel raised his thumb.

“Well, today I’m going to meet with one of my colleagues from Jakarta. You two work carefully, and for Elsa, be well at home, okay? ” their grandfather ordered.

“Okay.”

The three of them answered at the same time.

Daniel and David went to work.

During the day, Jessica was reading a book while waiting for Beryl’s arrival. Inevitably she must forget Lexi and all the bad memories of living with Ricardo’s family. Not that all of them were bad memories, just that there might be some memories that she must bury for the sake of her better life.

It’s not that Jessica wanted to forget everything, just as long as she remembered her future baby who is gone, she would only feel very sad all day.

“Miss, your friend you’ve been waiting for has come,” a maid said as she walked closer to her.

“Well, tell him to come to the rooftop right now.” Jessica closed her book, then got up from her seat. Then she moved towards the top floor in this building.

Yes, Jessica chose the top floor to talk to Beryl. Not without reason, above there was only CCTV and no ears of the waiter who would hear and then report it to her grandfather.

It looked like Beryl was walking towards Jessica by continuing to look around. He was sweeping the view from the top of a tall building.

“Is this really your house Jess, eh-Elsa?” Beryl asked, trying to remember the real name of her best friend.

Jessica nodded while smiling. She never saw Beryl show his true side.

“This is not my house, this is my grandfather’s House!” Jessica said, slightly amused by Beryl’s act.

“Oh my God, this house is really good, he was building heaven anyway! Why can there be a swimming pool and garden as beautiful as this on the roof of the building! Jess, your grandpa is amazing! I’m sure that the people who used to insult you would shut up if they saw that you were the grandson of Crazy rich Singaporeans.” Beryl slowly walked over to Jessica and sat down in front of her.

“How are you, Beryl?” Jessica reached out to shake her friend’s hand.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Good news, How are you?” Beryl shook Jessica’s hand and stared into her face. It was clear that the woman was unhappy, her eyes were a little red and like a lack of sleep.

“Did you go to college well?” Jessica deliberately asked because she didn’t want Beryl to continue to observe her face.

“Of course,” said Beryl briefly.

“Yes, as you can see I am happy here because this is indeed my goal and the dream of my adoptive parents.” Beryl could feel Jessica’s sadness, clearly painted in her eyes and her restrained smile.

“Can I ask you a question about Lexi?” it’s doubtful Beryl would say, but he’s really curious what’s going on with Jessica and Lexi’s marriage.

“Just ask!”Jessica said. She had made peace with the situation. The only thing she regrets was that her future baby did not survive. She couldn’t forget it.

“How was your marriage with Mr. Lexi?” Beryl investigated. Several times he asked Chelsea, but she didn’t know. What’s wrong with asking Jessica. They had been friends for twelve years.

“I don’t know, all I do is to live with my grandfather and my two brothers. They just asked me to focus on achieving my pending dream,” Jessica answered.

“Well, I’m sorry to-” Beryl didn’t continue.

“I’m fine now,” Jessica said, looking in the other direction. She didn’t want Beryl to see her teary eyes.

“What about your heart? How do you feel about Mr. Lexi?” Beryl asked. They were married and even almost had a baby, it was impossible that love did not grow between them.

Jessica chose to remain silent. She thought for a moment before answering. “I don’t know, until this second I also don’t know, whether Mr. Lexi really loves me or is just pretending because he just wants to get a baby from me. Can you not ask about that man, please?” Jessica protested.

“Okay, Jess, sorry! Then what about your health?” Beryl’s research quickly shifted the chatter.

“I’ve been fine. Take it easy,” Jessica replied.

“Good, if you’re okay. Now we can both focus on studying! Let’s compete like we used to,” Beryl said excitedly.

“Come on!” He was trying to build spirit.

If there was a beginning and there was an end. Perhaps the story with Lexi that had begun, was now over.

“In the past, Mr. Lexi could do anything with you Jess, he used a billion dollars to marry you by force. However, now your family easily returned the money and seized you from Mr. Lexi. God is fair, right?” he said. That’s how it was now. Not only destroying Lexi, but also the Kim Family could have destroyed all Ricardo’s family-owned businesses. It’s that simple, it’s as easy as flipping a hand if they want to.

Beryl looked back at Jessica, really wanting to see happiness for her.
