When Noah, Ellena, and Ellina were at the Ludwing Mansion, Richard let them sit on the couch, which is in a lounge not far from the swimming pool whose existence is right in the middle of the Mansion building. Five maids soon came to serve snacks and drinks, which would accompany them to discuss many things related to the Ludwing family, and were in contact with Noah as well as Ellena.
Richard, since seeing Noah's face in person for the first time, kept staring at the face that reminded him of his son, who was none other than Noah's father. He saw many similarities between Noah's face and his son's, and of course the similarities between them, all of them clearly decreased from him.
Noah actually also sees a lot of similarity in appearance between himself, his father, and also Richard who is his grandfather, but he does not really care about all that, but he is not too concerned with all that, because he currently only focuses on what he wants to ask the grandfather.
However, he felt very lucky because the grandson his grandfather was looking for was himself, and that meant he was the one who would be betrothed to Ellena.
After a long time everyone just kept silent without anyone having any intention of opening the conversation, Noah finally opened his voice, and started a conversation between them.
“Grandfather, can now also explain the reason why father and mother left the Ludwing family?” asked Noah straight to the point.
Noah doesn't like pleasantries, neither does Richard. Hearing Noah's question, without much thought Richard immediately gave an answer, “At that time the Ludwing family was in big trouble, even your father's two brothers died at the hands of the enemies of the Ludwing family. Due to such a dangerous situation, grandfather sent both your parents and you who were young to this country, and finally after so many years grandfather and the rest of the power of the Ludwing family struggled, he said, the problem can finally be solved.”
For a moment Richard took a deep breath and again he said, “But unfortunately it's too late. Grandfather who is too focused on the Ludwing family problem to forget the existence of you and your parents, even the death of your parents grandfather not long ago know it, even the death of your parents, and since knowing all that grandfather decided to stay in this place while looking for your existence!”
Richard added that at this time Noah's father's two older brothers, they work together to look after the Ludwing family, and both are very sorry for not being on time to realize what happened to their beloved sister. Both of them even got depressed when they knew the sister they wanted to protect by sending to another country was gone because of an accident.
“My grandson, do you know if your parents' accident was not a pure accident but someone deliberately wanted to harm them?” richard said, of course, to Noah's surprise.
Noah who still did not know anything, at that time he saw the incident that befell his parents was purely a hit-and-run accident, where the accident had claimed their lives. However, hearing what his grandfather said, he recalled some irregularities after the deaths of his parents.
Starting from the company of his father who changed the name to belong to someone else, as well as his family's property confiscated on the grounds of paying off debts on the Bank, the bank said, then lastly the police did not look for the perpetrator of the hit-and-run accident that hit his parents.
Noah knew and still remembered who the figure who at that time suddenly became the new owner of the company owned by his father, which previously the company was 100 percent ownership in the name of his father. That man was Adam, who was none other than Edgar's father.
“Grandpa and your two uncles have already investigated the death of your parents, and once all the evidence has been gathered, the perpetrator leads to one person, and grandfather is sure you recognize who that person is!” said Richard.
“Adam Willian Smith, what is that guy you mean?” asked Noah with sharp eyes looking at Richard who looked calm even though he was holding back his anger.
Richard nodded slowly, and he did not cover up the fact from Noah at all. “The man deliberately planned the murder of your parents, because he wanted to control your father's company which was growing rapidly.”
“Father and your mother did not introduce themselves as part of the Ludwing family, therefore the men of the Smith family dared to commit cruel acts on both of your parents! However, now the family will start paying for what they have done!” Richard not only seeks the whereabouts of his granddaughter while in Country I, but he also embarks on a plan of revenge on the Smiths, who have committed premeditated murder on family members, whom he desperately wants to protect.
Now Richard's plan has begun, and it aims to destroy the Smith family to its roots. Those who first sought trouble with the Ludwing family, and in the future they had to endure what had been done to the Ludwing family.
Death is too light for them. Making them lose everything they currently have, and making them suffer after losing everything, that was what Richard was going to do, and all his current plans were going smoothly, whereas the Smith family, was, they wouldn't have realized that they were already in Richard's plan.
For now Noah has known what really happened to his parents, when they had to leave the Ludwing family, and now he also knows if the death of his parents was a plan from Adam, who was the father of the family, who in the past was his father's co-worker.
“To avenge the deaths of your parents, grandfather has made plans to take revenge on them, but grandfather did not forbid you from taking revenge on them! However, for now how about we discuss your engagement to Ellena and the other woman?” richard said and he smiled even though it was just a smile so thin.
“Of course I will join in replying to their actions that have been outrageous, but true said grandfather, for now we should discuss about my engagement with Ellena and others!” said Noah.
Ellena and Ellina, who had previously been silent at the talk of her grandfather and granddaughter, were still silent when they heard the two men begin to discuss many things about the engagement plans and the party.
Richard will gather with family leaders of Noah's future wife to discuss the right day for the engagement party. As for the engagement party event, it will be the duty of the women of all families, including Ellina who is the mother of Ellena.
Their conversation finally ended at lunchtime, and after lunch with Noah decided to take Ellena for a walk. Because he wanted to enjoy his time together with Ellena, Noah chose to use one of the sports cars in the Ludwing Mansion family, while his car, he told Diki to take him home.
...----------------...
Noah stared at Ellena's pretty face as they had just entered the biggest mall in the capital. Although not satisfied to see the beautiful face of Ellena, Noah had to look towards the front because now they are walking in a mall that is crowded with visitors even during the day, when most people are busy working.
However, when he accompanied Ellena who wanted to buy a bag, he actually saw the existence of Edgar who was walking alone with Nancy. They had yet to realize the whereabouts of Noah and Ellena who were walking together, and actually Noah and Ellena were waiting for Sasa who was on his way to the mall.
Sasa had earlier sent a message to Ellena, taking her to the mall. Ellena, who has been friends with Sasa for a long time, tells Sasa that she is currently walking with Noah, and she hopes to come soon so that they can enjoy the three of them.
For Agnes, Joy, and Jane, this afternoon they can not go because there are activities. Agnes who is taking care of her husband's legacy company, Joy who has teaching hours, and Jane who must take private lessons because soon she will do the final exam.
Be it only Ellena and Sasa who this afternoon will spend time with Noah, although until now Sasa has not seen the trunk of his nose, but his last message to Ellena, he said, he said he was in the mall and was walking to where Ellena bought the bag.
“Sorry, the streets are a little jammed so I'm long till!” said Sasa who had just arrived, and he sat down next to Noah for a moment of rest because he was tired of walking.
Ellena was not jealous to see Sasa sitting next to Noah, because she knew what their relationship was like. As for Noah, he smiled as he looked at Sasa who was sitting next to him.
Not long after sitting down, Sasa stood up and he picked out the bag as Ellena was doing, while Noah, he just saw what they were doing, and he was not aware that Nancy and Edgar had realized his existence, even Nancy did not blink when she noticed his existence. ‘Either why I feel Noah now always emits an aura like he is a great person, even an aura like that does not belong to Edgar!’ nancy said in her heart.
Edgar could see the loving and adoring look Nancy had shown Noah, and he really disliked it all, even though he knew his existence was the beginning of the breakdown of the relationship between Nancy and Noah.
‘And I made her lose her job, and made her name bad, but why is Nancy still not able to erase the shadow of the man, and put me alone in her heart?’ edgar shouted inwardly, and he wanted to take Nancy to the next place immediately.
“Syang, quickly choose whichever bag you want, and after we can move to other place!” edgar said softly to Nancy, although he was angry at Nancy's behavior which was still more focused on his ex-girlfriend.
As for Nancy who heard all that, she just nodded and tried to choose the bag she wanted, but again her attention was drawn back to the figure of Noah, who was talking to two women.
Nancy's gaze was fixed on the two women who were talking to Noah, he recognized the two, let alone the figure of Ellena who was the daughter of an Alexander. ‘What relationship is he and Mr Alexander's daughter?’ he asked in his heart when he saw Ellena was so familiar with Noah.
Edgar also saw the interaction between Noah and Ellena, and of course he recognized who Ellena was. Seeing Noah's closeness to Alexander's favorite daughter, Edgar grits his teeth in anger, and he feels Noah's life is too lucky because after losing Nancy, he is surrounded by many beautiful women, and the relationship between them is so intimate and warm.
‘Damn it! After what I did to him, why did his life become so much better, even he could be so close to Mr Alexander's favorite daughter?’ edgar said inwardly, and he was very envious of Noah's current life. If he is told to choose between being in a good relationship with Ellena or being married to Nancy, there is no need to think he will choose to have a good relationship with Ellena.
Thinking of being able to establish a good relationship with Ellena, as soon as Nancy finished choosing her bag of choice, Edgar took Nancy to approach Ellena who of course was still with Noah and Sasa.
Seeing Edgar holding Nancy coming closer, Noah stared flatly at their whereabouts, as did Ellena. While Sasa who does not know if the Edgar family is the killer of his future in-laws, he ignores the existence of Edgar and Nancy, although he already knows if Nancy is Noah's ex-lover.
Ellena, who did not want to be close to Edgar, coded the two bodyguards who followed her wherever she went so they would keep Edgar away from her.
“Master should stop here and do not go any further! Noan Ellena currently does not want to be disturbed by anyone, because he is enjoying being with his girlfriend and sister!” one of Ellena's bodyguards, who was currently standing right in front of Edgar, was three or two metres from where Noah, Ellena and Sasa were.
Edgar did not accept what Ellena's bodyguard did, but he could not have been rude to them, because it would only have made his family's relationship with Milito's family worse, he is currently involved in many important projects at home and abroad.
Not seeing an opportunity to approach Ellena and establish a good relationship with the woman, Edgar immediately took Nancy to the cashier to pay for their groceries. However, while on the way to the cashier, Edgar and Nancy were only aware of the speech of one of Ellena's bodyguards.
‘Cannot be! That man can't possibly be Miss Ellena's lover! She is very unfit to occupy that position, only I am worthy to be Miss Ellena's lover!’ edgar shouted in his heart.
As for Nancy, she could only smile wryly because as she said on the eve of her breakup with Noah, the man she still loved, it turned out she was right to get a much better replacement than him.
‘While I find it hard to believe that if you really have been in a relationship with another woman, I can only congratulate you, and may you be happy to be in a relationship with her!” nancy said inwardly as she glanced at Noah who had not seen her whereabouts at all.
Edgar who does not accept if Noah actually gets a woman who is much better than Nancy, he suddenly grinned after having a plan that he believed could destroy Noah's life.
‘Wait a minute, you will leave soon after your parents who have been sent to hell by my father!’ she said in her heart, and once she drove Nancy home, she would meet someone in the past who had perfectly executed her father's orders.
Meanwhile, at Noah's place, he had just heard the sound of the system, which said if there was someone who had bad intentions for him. Not only did he intend to hurt Noah, but he intended to end Noah's life.
Hearing all that and remembering who he had just seen, Noah knew who had intended to do bad things to him. “After her parents planned the murder of my parents, it is now their son's turn to kill me. Unfortunately, the plan will never work!”
Ellena and Sasa have both gotten the bags they want, and when they want to pay, Noah quickly moves to pay for what both women are buying.
He spent tens of billions of dollars on Ellena and Sasa bags, which they also bought for Jane, Joy, and Agnes. Both say if it feels like there is less if not buy a bag for them.
Leaving the bag shop, Ellena and Sasa drag Noah to a men's clothing store, and they choose Noah a lot of clothes. Out of the clothing store, they entered the watch shop, then continued to the shoe store. Lastly they go to restaurants to expel stomachs that start rumbling because of shopping activities that have just been completed.
For groceries, they do not need to bother carrying groceries everywhere, because all their groceries have been put into a special car, which has been prepared by Richard. Some of the Ludwing family bodyguards also went to the mall at Richard's behest, and they were the ones who took care of all Noah's groceries as well as his two women.
While Noah, Ellena, and Sasa are enjoying their meal, social media is currently buzzing with the circulating photos and videos of Ellena walking with a man, although there were other women among them.
However, seeing Ellena's closeness to the man she walked with, many people commented that Ellena had a special relationship with the man she walked with, and they certainly recognize Sasa who is one of Ellena's few friends.
At a time when many people thought Ellena and the man she was walking with were a compatible couple, in a study a man was visibly angry to see Ellena walking with a man, though all this time the woman was so indifferent to her existence.
“Find out who that guy is, and if he's just a guy from the common circle, of course you already know what to do to him!” his orders to his confidants.
“Good Sir!” reply the male confidant who is currently turning his eyes to the photo of Ellena who is on the phone screen.
“No other man has the right to be with you but me!” muttered.
