Chapter 257 - 256: Suspicion



Nathan was trying to make peace with his son, Li Wei who was still throwing a tantrum after that encounter in the tower earlier.

He wanted to talk to him but the child ran away and locked himself inside their room.

He was rebelling against him! He wanted to punish him for making a fuss even at such a young age but he was troubled that his child would hate him for punishing him when he knew the child had a point.

Even at such a tender age, he could feel it clearly. His behavior may sounded inappropriate but he was only doing it because he recognized his mother\'s presence in that woman.

So he planned to talk to him when he\'s finally calmed down.

Meanwhile, Li Jun followed his brother as he tried his best to comfort him.

"I hate you, brother! Go away!" Li Wei shouted as he shut his brother away from him.

But Li Jun kept on knocking the door.

Evelien approached his brother and frowned then pouted when she saw her brother\'s troubled face.

She tilted her head as she looked at his brother\'s face closely.

"Brother? Sad?" She said and Li Jun stopped banging the door and looked at his sister.

"Midori\'s sad. Have to comfort him." Li Jun told her.

"Sad? Don\'t be sad...No!" She pouted cutely.

Li Jun knew that it\'s useless to talk to his brother when he\'s like this. He understood his brother better than anyone.

Meanwhile, back at Sophia Hotel, Eunji was still resting inside her suite while Angelina and J had a heated argument with each other relating to Eunji of course in his room.

"Why did you let her to meet that bastard?!" He yelled at her.

"Seriously Jie? Am I a god to you who could control everything? You\'re getting unreasonable here!" Angelina rebuked him.

His reaction was beyond something that Angelina could not imagine.

His actions was very out of character.

\'What the hell?\' She thought.

For almost two years that she had worked beside J, for her, he was acting mysterious and his interests were solely for Eunji.

At first she just shrugged off this behavior of his because she thought he was only over reacting because he cared for Eunji deeply.

But this reaction now was worthy to be concerned about if she had not known him.

"Nathaniel Bai! I knew it! I should have beaten him up to death when he hurt Eunji! He cheated on Eunji and hurt her! He should be punished by what he had done to her in the past!" Jie\'s tone was so harsh and cold that even Angelina could feel shivers running down her spine.

"And do you think Devie...no...Eunji would be happy if you do that to him?" She asked him.

"A cheating bastard does not deserve Eunji." J was close minded about the topic.

\'Calm down self. You should not slip.\' She repeated.

Eunji warned her to not let J knew about everything. She started to question Eunji\'s decision at first. Of all the people around her, J was the first person who knew her and might want to sacrifice his life just to save her.

But with his behavior now, it\'s best if he didn\'t know at all.

***Flashback***

"Are you sure about what you\'re doing Eunji?" She asked the still weak Eunji if she was sure with her plan.

"I can\'t trust the people around me anymore Angelina." Eunji confessed.

"They were so good at playing subtle tricks in my family and had not revealed themselves to everyone. Even Nathan....he\'s having a hard-time finding our enemy." Eunji added.

"Then...why are you telling me this?" She asked skeptically.

"Because you\'re a mother too." Eunji sighed as she looked at Angelina in the eye.

"You know how hard it is to be separated to your child, right? Just like you...I\'m willing to do everything just to protect the three of them." She said.

"Then why are you going to hide all of this to J?" Angelina still could not understand why.

J was her family. Her only relative.

"Because..." Eunji\'s voice trailed off as she heaved a deep sigh like the matter was really heavy on her shoulder to say.

She looked at Angelina and continued, "I think...he\'s involved in everything that\'s happening to me." Eunji just dropped the bomb at Angelina as she confessed to her.

"Are you even serious about what you\'re telling me right now?"

"I don\'t know but I\'ve got this feeling that something was odd about him lately. I survived the mercenary world because of my skills and had relied on my instincts when the matter was beyond my rational explanation." She said.

"Oh..." Angelina was rendered speechless.

"Then...you\'re on a tough spot." She said after she had recovered from the shock.

"Yes. That\'s why I need your help on this." Eunji asked her sincerely.

Angelina felt honored that she, Eunji, trusted her.

"I really still don\'t understand." Angelina said as she pondered about something.

"Why are you going to let him know that you\'re still alive?"

"Because...I know that he cares for me." Eunji answered her question vaguely.

"So help me hide some things from him. He should not know unless I let him, okay?" She added.

"Okay." Though Angelina was unsure if she should agree or not, she still decided to choose the former over the latter.

***End of Flashback***

Ever since then, Eunji put Angelina as the main in-charge of her security. As she assigned J to do something else for him.

She made Angelina to be the second-in-command in KSA while he worked with her in coordinating with the CEOs and Directors of her companies.

This time, Eunji made sure that everything he was doing was closely monitored by her.

Even if the Directors would be submitting the reports to him and he would give it to her, they (CEOs and Directors) would submit to her a copy of it. Or she would just directly hack onto their respective computers the documents she needed.

It was easy for her to do that since they were connected in one network.

Eunji let J to believe in a lie that she hated Nathan for cheating on her and she wanted to cut ties from him.

And J seemed to buy her reason to her disbelief.

For the past years, J seemed to act normal around Eunji except from the fact that he was hoping that there would be a chance between them.

Eunji thought that J was not alone in this plot if she was right.

Well, she was still hoping that she was wrong about J. She really hoped she was wrong.

After all, she valued her as a family...as a brother.

It would be a great blow on her to know that he had betrayed her.

Eunji knew that there were things she could not hide to J completely that\'s why she needed Angelina to cover up for her.

Now back to the present, Angelina started to believe and agree of Eunji\'s decision.

"And do you think you deserved her?!" she asked him.

"Yes!" He strongly said with confidence.

"Are you hearing yourself? We both know that you don\'t." She said.

"Because we had slept together." She said.

That was an accidental one night stand and it happened a month ago but when times get rough on J, he would call Angelina and they would share a bed together.

Angelina had no feelings for him though. It was purely out of lust. No strings attached. She\'s a woman with need after all.

And she knew that J was in love with Eunji.

"Don\'t use our thing against me!" He angrily spat.

"J, if you\'re going to continue acting this way, you\'ll only make things difficult for Eunji." She meaningfully advised him.

Now she had to inform Eunji of this development.

"Eunji\'s dead. She\'s Devie now. So she should not be associated with that guy anymore!" J acted as if he owned Eunji.

"And who are you to decide that? You\'re not her man J. You\'re only a brother for her. Now, if you don\'t want to lose that, better know your place in her life J." She added.

"Whatever is her decision in the future, it\'s up to her to make that. It\'s her life, not yours J. She had gone through a lot of difficulties. Don\'t add up to her burden."

With that, Angelina left J\'s room.

When Angelina was gone, J\'s eyes darkened as he looked at the door which was slightly ajar when Angelina left.

He closed the door totally and locked it.

He then took his phone and called someone on it with his free hand clenched into a tight fist.

"Hello." A computer voice sounded on the other line.

"Let\'s meet." J spoke with urgency evident in his voice.

***

Li Jun had successfully entered the room where Li Wei was shutting himself off since earlier.

"Midori..." Li Jun called him.

Li Wei was curled under his blanket and seems like he was still crying.

The poor boy was still broken-hearted for what happened earlier.

"Midori...Sorry," he said.

"Does she not love me? Why did she deny us?" Li Wei spoke to his brother. Hoping that he could understand him, too.

"It\'s not like that. She didn\'t look like our mom, Midori." Li Jun reasoned to his brother.

"You can\'t recognize her, too?" Li Wei asked in disbelief.

"It\'s not like that. She felt familiar but we could not just claim that she\'s our mother. She didn\'t look like our mother. Her face was different." He said.

"We don\'t even know her name and how to locate her." Li Wei said in frustration.

"Let\'s find her brother!" He added.

"Nah! It\'s impossible for us to do that unless we ask Daddy\'s help." Li Jun said.

"Can\'t you see that he\'s probably not going to help us? How about grandma? Mommy Yuki? Uncle Jing-sheng?" Li Wei called the names of the people whom he thought would help them in finding the woman.

"Let\'s try then." Li Jun said making Li Wei\'s eyes to sparkle with hope.

So the boys went out of their suite and looked for their grandmother Mei hoping that she could help them.

"What? No. Have you asked your dad about your plan?" Mei asked her grandsons.

"He didn\'t want to help us." Li Wei said as he felt wronged about it.

All he wanted was to look for his mother.

"Poor child." Mei said.

"Midori, Aoi, of course your dad would not help you. Your mother\'s long dead." Celine told them.

"No! She is not!" Li Wei angrily yelled at them. He then ran away from them in despair.

Li Jun immediately followed after him.

"I think it\'s time for brother to clearly explain and announce Eunji-chan\'s death. Now, his kid\'s are suffering." Celine said sadly.

"It\'s his decision to delay it. Let\'s just respect his decision, okay?" Mei said as she gently patted Celine\'s shoulder.

***

"Midori! Wait!" Li Jun called his brother who was running towards the door leading to the hallway.

Good thing Derek caught up with them and lifted Li Wei up in the air before he could successfully did.

"Gotcha!" Derek exclaimed and Li Wei was kicking on his belly in protest while he was being carried by him.

"Let me go! I\'ll go look for my mother!" He whined at him.

"Young Master, it\'s unsafe for you and Young Master Li Jun to go out without your security escorts following you." He reminded him patiently.

"I don\'t care! I want to be with my mother!" He said.

"Bai Li Wei!" Nathan\'s angry voice echoed on the hallway which made Li Wei to freeze on the spot and pause from making a fuss.

"Lock him inside the room until I say so. I want him to reflect on his actions today. Don\'t let him out until he realized his mistake!" Nathan spat coldly.

"No! Dad! Don\'t do that to Li Wei!" Li Jun pleaded his dad to let go of his brother.

"Do you want to be punished as well?" He asked him coldly.

"I hate you!" Li Wei spat!

"You\'re so mean Dad. Maybe that\'s why Mama left us!" Li Jun said angrily at his father.

Nathan was taken aback from what he heard.

"You don\'t know a single thing kiddos." He coldly told them.

"Seems like Aoi wanted to share in his brother\'s punishment. Then lock them together! Just because they\'re still kids means I could not discipline them. They have to man up and take responsibility of their actions!" He angrily said and left the boys and Derek alone.

The boys were screaming in protest.

They could not accept their father\'s mistreatment to them.

Derek could only look at the two pitiful boys and shook his head as he followed Nathan with his gaze.

"Master Boss!" Darren approached Nathan who was about to board the elevator.

"Any update on the woman whom my son had bumped into?"

"I followed her boss and she was staying next door. I think she\'s one of the EA (Executive Assistant) or ES (Executive Secretary) of the delegates there. A woman helped her to get inside. Their escorts were members of the KSA agency." Darren reported.

"Have you checked her background?" Nathan asked him.

"Negative Boss! I could not find any specific detail about her. It seems like she didn\'t exist at all." Darren honestly said.

"Interesting." He mumbled.

"What do you want me to do Boss?" He asked Nathan.

"Keep an eye on her if you see her again. Or keep an eye to those agents." He instructed.

"Copy that boss!"

Nathan entered the elevator and left the hotel.

If his guess was right, then, he had to prepare.

A smile was then formed on his lips as he looked up on the sky.
