The CEO’s Pet Cat

Riina couldn’t help but cringe and hurriedly backed up behind Grandpa Jun, not daring to look Asher in the eye, “Grandpa, I, I really didn’t mean to do it, I just, just really love Asher, please, help me out, I really didn’t mean to do it!”

The implication was that Lina had admitted that the pregnancy was a lie, and Grandpa Jun’s face, unable to hold back his anger any longer, banged his cane on the ground with hatred, “Nonsense, simply nonsense, what is this matter?”

“Miss Lai, it has come to this time, you should not hide anything anymore, if you painfully tell us, maybe we can still be lenient, don’t think we don’t know, during this time, what your Lai has done to our company …” Claude took the town ruler on the desk in his hand and played with it carelessly, but his eyes looked coldly at Li Na.

Riina shuddered violently, but remained strong in her attitude, “You’re talking nonsense, I didn’t, I didn’t do anything … Claude, don’t you frame me …”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Riina, it’s come to this, are you still going to lie to me?” Grandpa Jun jerked up and looked indignantly at Riina who had been hiding behind herself, “After all this time, I’ve been defending you for the sake of the two families’ long-standing friendship, and you actually did such a thing!”

Seeing that Grandpa Jun, who had always defended himself, was also angry, Riina was then completely panicked and trembled, “Grandpa, I …” Riina sat helplessly on the ground, like a deflated balloon.

“So, you had a hand in all the negative news related to Mia?” Asher’s expression, which had turned weird due to his anger, made Riina’s body tremble, such Asher was something she had never seen before.

“I, I swear, I didn’t, only this one thing is that I’m sorry for that bitch … no, sorry for Mia, I know nothing else.” Riina was not happy with Asher interrogating herself like that for that human bitch, her mouth was nice but her eyes were full of fiery hate.

Asher had never been a patient man, his patience had been burned out by a woman named Mia five years ago, and Lena’s sophomoric arguments in front of him weren’t going to make him stop there.

“Tell me, when Mia left five years ago, why did she ask Grandpa for a sum of money? What the hell is going on here?” Asher’s hand cupping Leena’s jaw increased in intensity.

“You let go of me Asher, it hurts!” Riina’s jaw hurt so badly it felt like it was about to be crushed.

“You talk or you don’t!” Asher ignored Leena’s pleas, everything about Mia he had to know!

“I said, I said … you let go of me so I can say ah …” Lina gasped in pain pleading with the domineering and unreasonable man in front of her.

Asher sniffed and let go of his fingers, and the faint red marks on his long, thin fingers from the force receded slowly.

Riina held her face, her sweet red nails rubbing her chin in a small way, gasping from time to time, “Actually, five years ago, Mia, didn’t ask Grandpa for money …”

The air just wanted to freeze, and Asher felt like words like that were the best he’d heard in five years.

“Indeed,” Claude’s voice was full of pink spikes, his slender legs crossed in a relaxed two-legged motion and he stretched, then said, “Gee, old master, this Miss Lina is something else.” His eyes were full of teasing, since this matter was fake, then the old man’s previous words weren’t true.

Grandpa Jun didn’t say anything, only turned his gaze into the distance, and although his face didn’t show much expression, his heart was turning over.

“Say exactly.” Asher turned his back to Lena, hands in his pants pockets, frowning sadly.

Riina knew that the old man would not help her at this time, and the fear in her heart grew stronger before she opened her mouth to tell the original story.

“I was so happy when I found out Mia was leaving! I’m going to make that bitch Mia disappear from my world forever! I’m going to show you that only I, only I, Lena, am the one who is truly in love with you! She doesn’t deserve it! You know I love you, Asher, and no one will ever love you like I love you, and no one deserves to love you like that!”

“So our dear Miss Lena did the unseemly thing of announcing to the major media that Asher’s ex-girlfriend had slipped away with a huge sum of money and thrown dirt on Mia?” Claude’s eyes clouded with darkness as he looked at the man who sat crumpled on the floor but remained cocky and arrogant.

Lena bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

Silence, dead silence.

The sound of the man’s leather shoes on the floor edged closer to Riina, and Riina was terrified, not knowing what kind of punishment she would face without her grandfather to cover her.

“Asher, let her go.” Grandpa Jun, who always loved Rina, still had a soft heart.

“Grandpa!” Asher was clearly not satisfied with that response. How could such a venomous woman not be cleaned up!

“Forget it, let her go. Just for the sake of her liking you for so many years.” Grandpa Jun looked at him firmly with a choice in his eyes.

Asher stared blankly at the old man with white hair, and as if comprehending something, his voice felt like ice, “It’s just that, you go away. Don’t even bother coming back in the future.”

The bodyguards scattered from the exit, and as if she had grabbed a lifeline, Ri Na immediately disappeared into the Jun family’s mansion. But how could such a wretched appearance make the grand lady of the scenery happy? For the millionth time, Ri Na told herself, “Mia, I will make you pay back twice as much!”

Evening at June’s Restaurant.

The family all sat upright and looked suspiciously at Grandpa Jun who was stammering about what he seemed to be about to say.

“That … Wen girl, I … I’m sorry for you ah,” Grandpa Jun finally said the words he had been holding back for a long time, sweeping his head down with his afterimage at Mia across the room.

Mia was obviously shocked by the old man’s words, she could never have imagined that the stubborn old man would say something like that. With a confused face, she looked at Asher next to her trying to seek answers.

“I’ve been old and confused all these years, and I’ve done a lot of things to wrong you, and I’m sorry for making you suffer so much.” Grandpa Jun’s attitude, very sincere, could be seen that he blamed himself greatly. If it wasn’t for his obstruction, the misunderstanding between the two people wouldn’t have been so deep.

“Grandpa, don’t say that, I didn’t actually suffer …” Mia is so used to comforting people, even ignoring any hurt they bring her!

The old man didn’t look up and tapped the floor with his hands on his cane, “Hey, maybe I’m really old, it’s better for you youngsters to settle your own affairs … from now on, you ah come and keep Asher company more often, his body needs someone to take care of it too.”

Grandpa Jun got up with his words and walked to the living room, his back looking extraordinarily lonely.

“Hey, it’s been half an hour, why are you still gawking?” Asher laughed as he nudged Mia who was holding a plate next to him.

“What does Grandpa mean, sort of accept me?” Mia didn’t answer back, her eyes staring straight at the wall-kun, her mouth perking up.

Asher put down what he was holding and went behind Mia and hugged her, saying tenderly, “Yeah, so you can never leave me alone again.”

Mia closes her eyes and enjoys the unreal happiness. Just let time stand still in this moment, with a bubble of happiness standing still in Mia’s life.

Happy times always go by as fast as Asher’s recovery from his injuries is incredibly quick.

“Asher, are you tired?” Mia took a towel and gently wiped the beads of sweat off the man’s head as he returned from his exercise and sat down next to him.

“Not tired.” Asher stood next to Mia like an obedient child, meekly standing across from her and at her mercy.

“If Dr. Lee hadn’t said that the right amount of muscle exercise is good for your health and your recovery, I would have called him a quack, how can your body take it when you’re so tired every day.” Mia unhurriedly wiped Asher’s forehead, face and neck, every place she couldn’t be assured if it was still intact.

Suddenly Asher lowered his head and kissed Mia’s forehead, very lightly and gently.

Mia stalled in her movements and ducked in shyness, “What for, this is a public place.”

Mia was taken aback by such a sudden move but her heart was still sweet. Asher kissed gently before his lips left Mia’s forehead and laughed, “Does that mean I can stop paying attention if it’s not a public place?”

Asher’s breath drifted between Mia’s ears, the warm breeze not of blowing into her ears, and by now Mia’s face was so thoroughly red that even the big red boxing gloves behind her didn’t compare to hers.

“What are you talking about! Say that again and I’ll ignore you.” Mia pushed Asher away in a hurry to calm herself down, this was a humiliating look and she didn’t want anyone to catch anything on camera and talk about it everywhere.

“Oh, Mia .” Asher reached out his big hand and took Mia’s small hand in his and said with a face full of tenderness, “Mia , will you take you somewhere this afternoon?”

“Hmm?” Mia watched Asher get serious and her own excitement calmed down, “What place?”

A mysterious smile floated to the corners of Asher’s mouth as he stroked the top of her head with his other hand dotingly, “We’ll see when we get there.”

Asher didn’t say, and Mia didn’t rush to ask, just nestled into Asher’s chest and smiled sweetly, content as long as she always had such warmth to lean on.

Sure enough, Mia was absolutely convinced that she was right not to ask Asher during the day when she got to that place in the afternoon, because it wasn’t a place where a few words could tell how good it was. Even, whatever place Asher took her to, as long as they were both together, it was the best it could be.
