Dangerous Billionaire

First Step

Orange turned dark. The sky turned to night. Lexi got sick. He had a high fever. He was just in his room, neither getting out of bed at all. Several times Arsene came to the house to see his boss. However, with what power he still could not force Lexi to go to work. He couldn’t go to work, to get out of bed he just could not.

It seemed that Mrs. Anna had just put a warm towel on Lexi’s forehead. She hoped his temperature was not high anymore. For three days after Jessica’s left their house, her son was just in his room until last night he got sick.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“When Mr. Lexi got sick?” Arsene asked. He noticed Lexi’s pale face. His lips were pale. He heard this man muttering quietly the name of the wife.

“Last night,” she answered. To be honest, she was sad to see him now. If so, the time could be repeated. She would be closer to Jessica so that she did not leave.

Silence. Both of them are devoted to Lexi. “Did you call the doctor?”asked Arsene. I wish Lexi a speedy recovery. He must have a healthy body to fight for Jessica.

“Dr. Sham will be here soon.” Mrs. Anna again put a towel on her son’s forehead. “Arsene,” she whispered.

“Yes,” he replied. It was obvious that Mrs. Anna was very sad.

“Help Lexi, get Jessica back. I can’t bear to see him like this. Jessica is still alive and can still be fought. I’m sure there’s still a good chance for them. Lexi and Jessica love each other. I have no other request. I just want Lexi to be happy, seeing Lexi like this, it feels like my soul is dying,” Mrs. Anna, looking at her son’s face, said.

“Yes Ma’am, after Mr. Lexi’s condition is getting better, we will arrange a plan to meet the chairman of the Kim Foundation and Kim Corporation, that way we can talk things through properly!” Arsene was right. Jessica’s leaving was not only a wound for Lexi, but the entire Ricardo family. They were sad because of that.

“I trust you. For a while, I hope you can handle the job. You see how Lexi is doing right now, right?” Mrs. Anna gently wiped away the tears that fell on her cheeks.

“Yes, Ma’am, there is also Mr. Samuel who has always come to the office for three days, there is no problem that is too significant,” he explained.

Mrs. Anna nodded. Every time she saw Lexi, she was always teary.

“Then I’ll go home, Ma’am. Good night!”

“Yes.”

Arsene stared at Lexi a second longer. Then, he turned around and left the room. He immediately returned from the Ricardo family house.

One week later.

Mrs. Anna just came out of her room. She walked to the dining table where every seven o’clock exactly all the family members gathered there for breakfast together.

However, this time it was different. The dining room seemed quiet. There was only her husband sitting there alone. Neither Lexi nor Jessica waited for them. There were no two of them every morning, no spirit of getting up early these days.

For a week, the dining room seemed empty. She was angry, but she didn’t know how to express her anger. Lexi, who was most sad. And Jessica, she couldn’t blame that woman or her family. She’s the one at fault here. She never loved her daughter-in-law well.

Then she walked up the second floor stairs to her son’s room. She stopped at the door. All the burden in the heart, making tears again drip from the corners of her eyes.

Without knocking on it, Mrs. Anna opened the door to Lexi’s room. She found her son, sitting on the floor leaning on the bed with his back.

“How long do you want to be like this, Lexi?” Mrs. Anna asked in her low voice. She just didn’t want Lexi to sink so deeply into his sadness.

Lexi remained silent, not making a sound or showing any movement at all. He also forgot how many days he was in his bedroom, resting his brain. He was just only caring for his heart that still mourns Jessica left him.

“If you give up and like this, I believe you will definitely lose Jessica. And later, Jessica will meet a man who is more than you! When it comes only regret that you get because you just stay in the room without doing anything! Oh,” Mrs. Anna exclaimed. It was sad, but it was even sadder when she saw Lexi like this, seeing his son doing nothing and having sadness in his life.

She heard a faint sob from Lexi.

“Jessica is still alive. She can still be fought. She is still in the same world as we. Unlike your late wife who is already in a different world! You had to forget it once! But Jessica, you can still meet her! Jessica is in Singapore! Prepare a strategy and I am sure, although it takes a lot of time. Jessica will definitely be with you again!” Mrs. Anna almost sobbed. However, before Lexi heard her mom sobbed, she immediately left the room.

In the main room, there was only Lexi. In every corner there were memories of Jessica. There were smiles, there was laughter and also tears in the room.

Lexi went from there. He got into the bathroom and started letting the cold water running from the top of his head wet his whole body.

A week was a long time to mourn. His mother was right, if he just stayed quiet like a polar bear in winter, Jessica could be captured by another man. And he had to move on from now on.

Finished bathing Lexi opened the closet set and chose a maroon shirt and black suit. Before leaving for the office he met the daddy who was still in his house.

“You go to work?”Mr. Samuel asked, looking intently at his son who was currently walking towards him. Although Lexi looked thin, there was a twinkle in his eyes.

“Yes, Dad! But there’s something I want to know. In the accident daddy was involved or not? I want to straighten it out. I don’t want any misunderstandings between you and me. I also don’t want the Kim family to keep accusing us of what we didn’t do. We are not as rich as the Kim family but we don’t deserve those nasty accusations!” Lexi asked. He was ready with full enthusiasm to start carrying out his mission to get Jessica back.

“Well, I will tell you everything, but you need to be prepared for all the consequences if I open this truth to you!” Mr. Samuel Ricardo said. Maybe it was time to unlock the secrets of twelve years ago.

“I will accept all the consequences,” Lexi said. I lost Jessica. What is more precious in this world than Jessica. Nothing.

“Twelve years ago. The accident, I myself investigated. It was not me who did it, but Mr. Bayu who deliberately harmed Darren and Marisa,” Mr. Samuel told honestly. He would no longer think about the fate of the company. A loan from Cassandra’s family that might be leveraged back after this case arises and made the company’s shares decline. He didn’t care. Mr. Samuel also began to realize that old Kim had begun to move to destroy Ricardo Group. Kim would not stop, before Ricardo Group was destroyed.

Starting from the big project of city park development. One by one, the Ricardo Group’s biggest profit earners would be destroyed by that elder Kim.

“Dad, it’s just an accusation and can’t show the truth if daddy doesn’t have proof! I’m not a kid anymore who daddy can fool!” Lexi had decided to pursue the case. The truth could be opened with or without Ricardo Group. But Jessica, she alone had to fight. And that was the only way to unravel the tangled thread between the two families.

Samuel stepped out of his seat. He walked towards the safe that was behind the painting of sunflowers. Then, he began to press his password.

The safe was open, Mr. Samuel took a large brown envelope. Then, he closed the safe and walked back to his son.

“All the evidence daddy has is here, now you decide. How this Ricardo Group will be destroyed. Fight for Jessica, find your happiness, Lexi. I am only happy to see you happy.” Mr. Samuel no longer wanted to tell his son. Lexi must had a strategy to keep it all together, and got it back to the way it was.
