Chapter 160 - 160 ( Destroy )

"Acer?" she said slowly and felt she had made a mistake. Aretta barked in fear.

"How did you find me?" she said in deep anxiety.

Aretta had hidden well. Had thrown all of her communication tools into wearing a disguise while she was traveling. Acer was clearly too soon to find her.

Until Aretta started to speculate about something.

"Could it be that you were embed tracking device on me?" asked Aretta angrily. They obviously couldn't do something like that.

Acer seemed to have pulled the corners of his lips up. Acer's big body was enough to make Aretta feel threatened. Aretta thought she shouldn't have anything to do with those men. But she couldn't resist her urge to return to this city and carry out her mission.

Acer seemed to be playing with his fingers on the table while he was thinking. Acer then raised his gaze to look at Aretta.

"You seem to have forgotten, who helped you to come back here. If it weren't because of the recommendation from Mr. Robby. You must still be in your old city and not be able to meet your ex. Didn't you agree to this collaboration to get back to him?" Acer cracked a grin.

He then also remembered something.

"Oh, I was wrong. The real truth is that you want to make the guy suffer just as much as he used to cause you trouble after you guys have broken up. You certainly still remember how your boyfriend left you because of the pressure full situation. Is not it?" said Acer who knew quite a lot about Aretta's past. And knowing how the woman must hate the man.

Aretta didn't look want to deny it.

Because her main reason to return to this city was to avenge Harry's good deeds. Had kicked her out of this city. And his family who ruined her career.

Aretta certainly will not play around in trying to realize her wish. Didn't care about how much power the ability and strength of their family in the eyes of the world.

Aretta will still hurt their happy life no matter how small it was.

"Isn't your boss the same as me?" said Aretta a little more sarcastically.

Acer did not reply. Just kept quiet and kept staring and watching. Aretta resumed her speech.

"I really don't know why your boss wants to destroy Harry's family. But since we're in the same boat, wouldn't it be strange if you're holding me back right now?" Aretta asked, annoyed and as if she was toyed with.

Acer laughed mockingly.

"You and my boss are indeed in the same boat. But your function has been thwarted because of your own doing. What did you mean by making death threats like that at the construction site? Did you want to act as a high-profile criminal?" Acer asked sarcastically.

Aretta clearly wasn't asked to hurt anyone but instead went off track. Who wouldn't protest?

"It's just a little spice," Aretta said without feeling guilty.

"Isn't if you want to destroy someone, you have to do it completely?" Aretta said confidently, "You guys must be too soft to just attack his company. Isn't it if that woman gets hurt, Harry would be very hurt too?"

Aretta recalled how warm Harry looked when he looked at his wife. Knew that the man seriously loved his woman and intended to take good care of her, until Harry didn't give her a chance to get in.

Aretta didn't really like this fact.

But everything was clearly visible before her eyes. Aretta couldn't do much other than destroying everything they had built.

Aretta also recalled how Harry had treated her so well. Regretted having to cheat on the man even to the point of hurting his feelings. Aretta didn't really want an ending like this.

But she was forced to do it because of her heart's guidance, which already hated the man without the man needed a lot of effort.

Acer noticed the look in Aretta's eyes which had now changed slightly. Knew that the woman was also hurt because of her own actions.

"My boss' way of playing and yours are definitely different. And you don't have to equate them. You should just do as you're told. You made a mess not only on Harry's focus but all of his work on the project. But you're playing with our seriousness instead?" shouted Acer who was also annoyed because he had received a reprimand from his boss.

"Are you aware of what you were doing?" asked Acer, attacking.

"You weren't just trying to hurt that woman. But also almost harmed Mr. Willy! Are you not aware of that?" Acer raised his voice.

Aretta seemed unable to dodge.

Acer then gave punishment to Aretta. Locked her in the room under tight guard so she couldn't escape or report anything to Harry like she almost did.

Acer then contacted his boss, Robby. Acer informed him that the hostage had been successfully detained and controlled. Acer also informed him about the impromptu call from Aretta who seemed to be planning to pit her master against Harry to cover her actions up. To seek protection.

Robby seemed to be carried away by emotions when he heard all of Acer's words.

Didn't expect to have brought a snake within the scope of his ally. To the point that it made the opposing party even more suspicious of him and even targeted him. Harry must be trying to find out all of the information about him right now.

It was morning when Cleo woke up from her long sleep. Deliberately woke up later than usual because today she didn't have the assignment to go to the office. Today was supposed to be Cleo's schedule to go to the course.

But Harry gave a strict prohibition for her not go to anywhere. Harry had certainly threatened Cleo with the threatening message Cleo had received two days ago. Cleo obviously couldn't do anything but obey.

Cleo came down from her room after she took a shower and tidied herself up.

Harry had been waiting for her downstairs. He sat on a dining chair while reading some news reports from his smartphone. Cleo looked at the man in surprise. And walked to the dining table to meet him.

"You haven't left for work yet?"

Cleo glanced at the clock briefly. Then glanced back at Harry.

"It's obviously ten o'clock now. Is your office closed?" asked Cleo who was surprised that Harry could still sit quietly when he was usually busy doing the meetings, checking the report, to signing any proposals.

Cleo clearly still remembered. Last night Harry asked Julia to get ready for the photoshoot and other related matters. Until she said that she would go with him. The man was now not even doing all of the work.

He can't be doing early retirement, or went on strike right?

Harry seemed to care more about what he was thinking.

"Are you feeling better?" asked Harry who didn't know what it was about. Cleo looked at him confusedly.

"Better in what way?" Cleo asked back.

Harry looked at her nonchalantly.

"Your psychic and mental state may have gone down as a result of yesterday's incident," Harry glanced at the sling bag Cleo was carrying.

"Didn't I tell you to stay home?" asked Harry in annoyance, who never understood why Cleo always wouldn't listen to him.

He felt whatever he said became bullshit in her brain.

Cleo certainly never considered it. Upset mixed with disappointment, until curiosity gnawed at him. Harry continued to stare at Cleo impatiently until Cleo answered his question. When she started to eat her food.

Cleo answered Harry with her mouth was still full of food.

"I promised to come to the hospital. You don't have to worry because I'm only going for a moment and won't be stopping by the course. I'll keep my promise to you too."

Harry looked at Cleo with a look in his eyes that wanted to attack.

What was with that word?

'I will keep my promise not to go anywhere including my course today. But I'm still going to see the tattooed man out of a debt of gratitude?'

Harry translated Cleo's words with his perspective. He knew that her words had multiple meanings. But it had the same meaning to the same disapproval.

Why did Cleo have to make things so complicated?

Harry had never told her to return the favor to Willy. And had told her to rest completely for the next few days. Cleo wanted to meet the tattooed man instead?

Sigh!

Harry was completely rendered speechless. Too tired and annoyed because his words continued to be considered as a breeze. Harry then looked at Cleo sharply.

"I told you to rest! Don't you ever want to listen to me?!" Harry subconsciously raised his voice.

"I don't like it when you keep seeing him. And stop pissing me off! The guy can't take this opportunity to try to get close to you. Can't you read his movements?" Harry said with all of the pressure that he was holding back.

Cleo stopped what she was doing to look at Harry seriously when the man started to relapse again. Cleo could only sigh.

Was a marriage so complicated like this?

Cleo looked at Harry with a remained of her spirit to smile.

"Do I need to ask your approval of who I want to see?" Cleo asked while holding back annoyance with the pull of her lips that she deliberately made to lengthen to the side.
