The CEO’s Pet Cat

It was only then that several guards saw Mia, who was dying on one side, and their faces turned green with fear, “Yes, yes …”

“Why don’t you take Miss Leena back to the Lees!” Asher flung Leena onto the security guard and embraced the person in his arms as he walked towards the villa, “Leena, I’ve already met my aunt and uncle, I think I need to see them tomorrow. See you off!”

Riina stared hard at the departing back, her body shaking with anger.

The moon was just about as high as it could go, and a scary night was finally over.

The next day, noon.

“Asher, you’re back? What did Auntie Lai’s uncle say?” Mia asked weakly as she got up from the bed, dropping her little head weakly. Yesterday Riina hadn’t shown the slightest mercy at all, which made Mia, who was already not in good health, even weaker.

“Eh, they’ve made a statement, and it looks like it’s pretty difficult.” Asher took off his suit as he walked over to the bed and tested the temperature of Mia’s forehead.

“Well, and hopefully she’ll be able to call it quits on that, just fine.” Mia smiled as she reclined on her pillow and took Asher’s hand.

“You, that’s what you think.” Asher pointed a doting hand at the tip of Mia’s nose and said softly, “You little fool, you’re always so kind, no matter what anyone does to you.”

“Hey, on the other hand, Riina, it would be best if she could really just live in peace and quiet like this.” Mia’s eyes darkened, thinking about Leena she still couldn’t help but worry, she really didn’t know how things would end up for Leena.

“Well, don’t think about it, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side and watch over you. Never again will I let you suffer a single bit of aggravation. You’re just too easily hurt, and I don’t know the day you’ll die for a little inexplicable reason if I don’t watch over you.” Asher held Mia close to him, the only way he could truly feel the little woman’s presence.

“Well, it will. And I’ll always be there for you all the time.” Mia snuggled into Asher’s arms, an embrace so sweet, so warm, so real, it made this already terrified woman swoon. It really would be kind of a luxury to stay like this all the time.

Taking advantage of the gentle narrowing of the stunning eyes of the small woman in his arms, Asher proposed with a faint smile on his face in a good mood, “Mia , let’s get married when we are done with this part. The things that have been happening lately are always intricate and bizarre. I’m really so afraid that if I’m not careful, I’ll lose you and break you. If something like that really happens, then I really don’t know what to do.”

Asher’s arms were firm and warm, and Mia lay in them like a kitten on honey.

“Asher, come out here for a second.” Just as the two were getting intimate, Lily stood in front of Asher’s room door, looking nervous as if she was holding something in her hand.

“Mom?” Asher glanced at Lily, seemed to notice something, frowned, and turned his face to look at Mia with a warm face. Pinching Mia’s chin with his slender fingers, his voice was gentle and doting, “Wait for me for a moment, be good

Lie down and don’t go anywhere, okay?”

“Well, go on. Don’t keep Aunty waiting.” Mia smiled as she burst out of Asher’s arms and buried her body under the covers.

“Good.” Asher turned around and walked towards the door. Smiling at the people inside as he came out, he casually closed the door. Taking Lily’s shoulder, he walked her down the stairs with him, “Mom? What’s wrong?”

Lily’s face was stony as she suddenly stood upright and looked seriously at her son, “Asher, what really happened to Mia that night, are you not telling the truth?”

Asher’s eyes flashed and he lowered his head and put his hands in his pants pockets, “Mom, it wasn’t actually anyone else who hurt Mia that night, it was …”

“It’s Leena, isn’t it? Why didn’t you say so?” Lily didn’t wait for Asher to finish his sentence before interrupting him.

Asher lifted his eyes and looked fixedly at his mother, his eyes couldn’t hide the helplessness he doted on, “Mia was the one who didn’t let me say anything, Mia said that Leena was too irritated to call the police or tell you and dad for fear of you finding the Lees and embarrassing them.”

Ri’s mother snapped her head up, her tightly furrowed brow stretching as she sighed, “This child, it’s always hard for her to think for others. This three times, Riina is really too much too.”

“It’s okay, it’s over.” Asher patted his mother’s shoulder in reassurance, “By the way mom, how do you know that Lena did it?”

Asher was puzzled, since he hadn’t said it, and Mia hadn’t said it, then who had told Mom? Could it have been the security guard?

“Hey, you two kids always tell me nothing, how can I not worry about it as a mother? Here, take a look.” Lily complained as she handed Asher the roll of newspapers in her hand.

“Miss Lai’s intent to kill Jun’s daughter-in-law, attempted poisoning plus murder?” Asher opened the newspaper and those were the big, bold words that caught his eyes.

Asher frowned and hurriedly flipped to the next page of the paper, which devoted three pages to Asher, Mia and Leena. And it was accompanied by a picture of Riina trying to choke Mia to death. Although it said it was taken at night, Riina’s face was captured in a very fresh way, and Mia’s back was well defined.

“On the night of the 8th, Master Jun accompanied his fiancée back to the villa, and while Master Jun was parked in passing, Leena grabbed Mia, Master Jun’s fiancée, and tried to strangle her.”

Asher looked at the accompanying pictures and the narrative on them, though he wondered how on earth such clear photos and such authentic records could have been obtained, but he could not help but feel palpitations just thinking about that night. It was a good thing he had arrived in time to save Mia, otherwise he would have seen a cold corpse if he had arrived later.

He continued towards the bottom of the paper at

“On the day of the engagement press conference, Leena infiltrated the wedding in disguise as a redhead and escaped after poisoning Mia’s drink. Subsequently Mia finally came to her senses after a three-hour operation due to timely treatment.”

Asher’s face went from red to white to green, hard to see anymore, his fists clenched tightly as he stared at the paper with a deadly stare.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Asher, Asher?” said Lily, grabbing Asher’s sleeve and shaking it when she saw her son’s ghastly gaze.

Asher settled in for a long moment, but still didn’t hear Lily’s call.

Knowing that his heart went out to Mia and that he looked so bad now, Lily’s mind began to well up with worry, “Asher, Asher?”

“Huh?” Asher’s gaze flickered and he looked up, finally responding that Lily was calling out to him.

Seeing Asher’s face gradually easing, Lily said gently, “Don’t think about things that are already in the past, the most important thing now is to let Mia get well, and you guys find a good day to have the wedding as soon as possible to save the night.”

Even if Riina had done a lot of things that were offensive to people, after all, the two families were family friends, and she still didn’t want things to get too ugly.

Asher’s heart still softened at the sound of Mia’s name. Closing the paper, he smiled towards his mother, “Will do.”

Somehow, Asher’s face was full of smiles, but in Lily’s eyes, she was still slowly worried. After standing for a long time, she finally walked slowly towards her room, she knew Asher’s character, if he had decided something, it was usually difficult to change it.

Not to mention, what Lena did to Mia this time was unforgivable!

In Jun’s group.

Asher stood at the window looking out at the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going like ants on the street, blushing to the extreme.

“Asher, so what do you think we should do next about Leigh?” Claude asked carelessly as he stretched his legs high, half of his body nestled in the soft chair. To them, the always powerful Lai’s group was not even in their eyes.

Asher didn’t turn around and replied faintly, “In your opinion?”

“Hey, not fun at all, and because you’d be a little happier to see Leigh going down, I didn’t think it was still a piece of wood.” Claude stretched out and let out a long sigh after sitting upright with his hands on the handles.

“Cut the crap and ask you.” Asher glanced at him in the aftermath, “What else would I be overpaid to pay you, the vice president, for?”

“Fine, I’ll say it, I’ll say it, don’t look at me like that.” Claude waved his hands in front of his face to show his innocence.

“Ahem, as I see it, Lai’s situation is a lot. Even if we don’t have to make a move, with Lai’s current reputation as well as his ability to hold on for half a month at most. Or sooner, it won’t take half a month for Ri to disappear from this country completely. It’s not because I, Claude, don’t save face, it’s because even if we don’t fund the acquisition, than the company will take advantage of this time to acquire Lai. And the price will be much lower than ours. Uncle Lai is a smart man and will naturally choose the best solution for him, so we just have to sit back and wait.”

Claude’s words were exactly what Asher had in mind; if Jun didn’t buy Ri’s shares, other companies would do so and would be more desperate. Riina’s dad is also smart, so I’m sure this will soon be settled.

Asher wrapped his arms around his chest and turned towards Claude with affirmation in his eyes, “At last, you can speak human.”

“What are you talking about? I’m the one who’s right, okay? I don’t know what Mia taught you, but I think your thinking and IQ are gradually starting to drop. Or, are things so sweet now that your IQ has dropped?” Claude snapped back sarcastically with displeasure.

It was better if he didn’t say it, but when he did, Asher, who was already in a good mood, threw the hug pillow in his hand, and Claude didn’t let up, so the two big presidents acted like children, drawing a large circle of nymphomaniac employees outside.

Well, it looks like there’s always been a lot of “fun” in the company.
