34. The Spread of Scandal
Dafa squeaked in annoyance when she saw that various news sites were filled with Joan’s scandal of violence against a woman.
” Damn , it turns out that someone spread the news ” Dafa grumbled glaring at Joan who was sitting leisurely watching television .
Joan just smiled faintly , not a trace of guilt appeared on his handsome face . He didn’t want to bother at all because it was just such a small problem.
” Boss Lo is not afraid if there is trouble because of this scandal ? ” asked Dafa as he sat down beside Joan , they also talked privately .
“No,” Joan replied casually.
” You are crazy , if Uncle Ansel finds out about this news , I guarantee you will be killed by him ” threatening Dafa , he really knows Joan ‘s father very well .
Joan just chuckled softly with a smile that continued to stick to her sweet lips ” It ‘s okay , I also want to die quickly Daf ” replied the man in vain .
Dafa lightly hit Joan’s head “Don’t make it up boss, remember that saying is a prayer”
“Well, just help. Amen, Daf.” Joan chuckled again.
Dafa can only shake his head at his boss’s absurd behavior, actually Joan is an outcast, it’s just that lately she looks more like a person who isn’t passionate about doing anything, to be precise, since she married Liza, Joan’s attitude has completely changed. In the eyes of Daphne.
Knock… Knock… Knock….
The sound of a knock on the door echoed through the building , and Dafa quickly got up from her relaxed position to see who it was at this time of night .
“ALEX, KEY” Dafa rolled her eyes when she saw the arrival of the two very strong and sturdy bodies.
” What ‘s the matter , why did you come here ? ” Dafa asked Ansel ‘s trusted bodyguard .
Dafa’s thoughts were all over the place, it seemed that the two men were ordered by Ansel to take Joan forcibly to the mansion where her boss’ parents lived.
And sure enough , Alex and Key immediately dragged out Joan ‘s body like a criminal who would be put in a detention cell .© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
” I can walk alone ” Joan snapped , did not accept being treated so cruelly by two people who were not much different from her age .
” Sorry young master , we are only carrying out the duties of the leader ” Key and Alex lowered their faces , they were very afraid to see the deadly expression on Joan ‘s face at this time .
Joan started running in front of her, followed by Alex, Key and Dafa following behind. Dafa deliberately followed them, for fear that something might happen to Joan.
Joan started to get into the car that was parked in Rubanah. Joan sat with Dafa in the back seat, while Key was in the front seat with Alex who sat in the driver’s seat. Alex immediately stepped on the gas pedal and left the place for Rivenno Mansion.
” Calm down Daf , I can solve this problem ” Joan patted Dafa on the shoulder , Dafa had been looking at her with pitying eyes .
” I ‘m afraid this will be the last second I can see the boss . ” Without Dafa realizing it , her eyes started to tear up , this made Joan chuckle .
” It ‘s okay , honey , do not be sad , your brother will be fine ” Joan caressed both cheeks as if to comfort her lover .
Both of them burst out laughing instantly breaking the silence , Alex and Key just shook their heads at the behavior of the two lovebirds , they usually joked when they were in such a big problem .
Rivenno’s Mansion
Arriving at the mansion , Joan was immediately flanked by Alex and Key to Ansel ‘s private room , while Dafa was waiting in the living room because Joan did not allow her to come in , the man did not want Dafa to be affected .
Joan’s body was immediately pushed to the floor by the two bodyguards, so she fell down and was currently in a prostrate position right at Ansel’s feet.
Ansel crossed his arms in front of his chest , his face reddened with anger that he had been trying so hard to suppress .
Joan looked up at her beloved papa , the man started to wipe the cold sweat that was dripping down his temples .
” Are you satisfied that you cause trouble ? ” Ansel snapped while pointing at his son with a very deadly gaze .
” I ‘m sorry papa ” Joan lowered her face reluctant to look at Ansel who was showing his dark side .
Ansel smiled cynically at the words he was tired of hearing from his son ‘s mouth .
” Sorry will not solve the problem , stupid ” Ansel traced Joan ‘s head using his index finger .
Joan’s body shook violently, she was very afraid that her creator’s prayer of wanting to die quickly would be granted. The man closed his eyes for a moment to say a prayer to be given a long life in his heart.
” What are you going to do now ? ” Auris paused his sentence , first he looked at his son with a look that no one could interpret .
” All directors will hold a meeting to demote your position from CEO tomorrow morning ” said Ansel glaring at Joan .
Joan looked up again , she began to change her position to stand at the same level as the man she respected the most .
“It seems that this is the right time, Daddy, to make me resign from that highest position, it’s better if it’s better if you give that position to Sarah,” Joan explained without reducing her respect in the slightest, she never wanted such a heavy position, the CEO seat only made her uncomfortable never had time to do the things he really wanted to do, especially having time to just be with his wife.
Brugh…
Joan ‘s body fell to the ground again after being hit hard by Ansel ‘s fist , which still felt very strong even though he was not young anymore .
Ansel could not control his emotions , he continued to beat Joan blindly . Joan could only accept the blow gracefully even though her body was already battered , she did not want to be labeled a rebellious child for fighting her father .
Ansel began to stop his activities when his body was tired, the middle-aged man stared intently at his son who looked like he was on the verge of dying, Joan’s face was covered in bruises and blood that kept flowing, especially from the area of her nose which was hit hard by the puncture of her thigh.
” That ‘s enough , Joan has given up , ” Joan asked with a staggered body .
” Never again will you ever test papah ‘s patience , if you do the same thing again , papa will really kill you right away ” threatened Auris still with her sharp gaze .
Joan could only nod at all the words of his father , the man started to sit down to rest his body that was already feeling dizzy , followed by Ansel who also sat down beside Joan .
Joan held her head which felt bloody , the man began to wipe the fresh blood that was slowly starting to flow so as not to hit his eye area using the tissue provided on the table .
Meanwhile Ansel started to drink his water to ease his anger and tiredness .
” What the hell is going on , why did you slap that employee ? ” Ansel asked after he finished his drink , this time he started to speak nicely without any emotion .
” He said I was pregnant with someone ‘s child , ” said Joan in a tone like a child who was complaining to his father .
Ansel smiled lopsidedly , his son was really shameless , did not know himself .
“Indeed, what was wrong with the employee, after all what he said was a fact not a hoax, it’s just you who don’t know yourself clearly you did it but still don’t want to admit it” Ledek Ansel who made Joan even more annoyed, because her father didn’t defend her a little bit.
” Not because of that , Daddy , but he also said that …” Joan paused her sentence , she couldn’t possibly complain that the employee also said that Liza never loved her at all .
“What if?” Ansel knit his brows together.
” If I was a jerk ” Joan lied , he did not want Liza to be brought into this problem , only Joan was on the verge of Death , he did not want to put Liza in the same position .
Plaque….
Joan’s cheek was slapped again by Ansel, whether it was the umpteenth time that his cheek hit a slap from his father and Liza, it seemed that the cheek was only created to be slapped over and over again by the people whom Joan loved.
“Dad don’t like your attitude that never accepts reality, as a result of your actions the company’s stock has dropped drastically and it’s already bad enough to make sure that your position is also threatened, then what are you going to do now huh?” snapped Ansel, who had lost his way to solve the problem. messed up the Rivenno Group’s business.
Joan just shook her head, she couldn’t think at all in this situation, her head was very dizzy, her body was like someone who was dying now, but her papa still kept thinking about the family business and ignored his condition.
Joan hoarsely called for Dafa to enter the room and take her body to the penthouse so that she could immediately get medical help there, the man refused to be taken to the hospital, because the hospital reminded him of the trauma experienced by his wife, Liza.
