"No, this isn't the Smith Family, Edrick."
"What did you say, Dad?"
"A very powerful person stands behind that family. If my guess is correct. Maybe he is Mr. X"
"Huh? Mr. X? You mean the leader of Black Jack?" Edrick gaped.
"Who else has the power to move the Black Jack members if not their leader?" replied Mr. Javier trying to guess.
"If only a few of them suppressed our family, it might be because I did have problems with some of the BlackJack members. But this is different, all members do the same thing, they also can't move like this without orders from their leader," added Mr. Javier, he started to realize something.
"So you're saying Black Jack is protecting the Smith family? But why Daddy? We haven't even done anything to them, and they're already treating us like this."
Mr. Javier was silent. Her memory is still very clear when she asked Brian to win Claire Smith's heart when the girl was still in Indonesia when she had not met her family and lived alone. At that time, he hoped that Brian could become the Smith family's son-in-law and get all of Claire Smith's inheritance.
But at that time, Brian failed. He did not know what caused it, he only knew that at that time Claire already had a boyfriend and because of some things that happened, Brian could no longer continue his plan. Brian didn't tell him exactly what had happened. The man only said the outline.
And after that, he re-planned together with Edrick, but again failed and he had to give up his intentions and ended up experiencing losses like this.
Mr. Javier doesn't know that Brian is getting threats from Devan, nor does Mr. Javier know that Brian has ever dealt with that man. He didn't even know that Claire was ever in a relationship with his adopted son. Brian hides everything from his father and chooses to stop all his actions because he does not want to add new problems to his family.
Only, Brian didn't notice. That his actions were the beginning of Devan's anger.
Mr. Javier never expected that the Smith family had the protection of such a powerful person. Exceeding himself, but who and what that person's identity was, he couldn't know for sure.
A rough sigh came from Mr. Javier's lips. He then replied to the email with mixed feelings. Request that Black Jack stop bothering and suppress him so that everything returns to normal. He also said sorry and promised not to disturb the Smith family again.
"Daddy, what are you thinking? You can tell me, maybe I can help you," said Edrick to his father.
The middle-aged man just shook his head, "You don't need to do anything, also tell Brian to cut off all communication or whatever with the Smith family. If I'm lucky, I'd like to meet Mr. X and apologized to him for offending him."
Edrick was silent, "Brian hasn't been in touch with the Smiths in a long time, Daddy. Since returning from Indonesia, since he failed to do what you asked him to, he has never had any contact with that family again."
"How did you know?" asked Mr. Javier turning to his son.
"Daddy, ever since you brought Brian into the family, I know the man best. And regarding what I said earlier, he told me," replied Edrick.
Mr. Javier fell silent again. If so, what caused Mr. X angry? Could it be Edward?
"Did Edward never give you any news?" asked Mr. Javier.
"Never, Dad. Why are you suddenly asking how he's doing?" replied Edrick. Not without reason, he asked that, because all this time his father had never cared about what Edward was doing, since childhood the man had been released by his father. Very different from him, everything that happened, his father always involved him.
"From now on keep an eye on Edward's every move. But don't let him find out," said Mr. Javier.
Edrick's brow furrowed in confusion, but the man complied with his request. "Okay, Dad. I'll send some people to keep an eye on Edward. Leave him to me," said Edrick.
Hearing that, Mr. Javier nodded. He took another deep breath. "If he does anything suspicious, report it to me immediately," said Mr. Javier.
"Okay, Dad. Now rest," replied Edrick.

Like yesterday, today Claire woke up early. Check the breakfast and all the menu dishes that will be cooked by the chef on this day. She also went to the flower shop and replaced all the flowers she had arranged with new ones.
And she had finished everything before the family members woke up from their sleep. Claire is back looking neat and smelling good.
"Good morning, honey," said Grandma when she met Claire in front of the elevator.
"Oh, you're awake, Grandma. Even though I'm going to wake you and the others for breakfast, it's already seven in the morning," replied Claire.
"Dave's awake too, he's in the shower. I feel thirsty, so I want to fill this bottle with water," said Grandma while showing the blue bottle in her hand.
"Okay, Grandma. Then I want to wake the others first, I'm afraid that uncle Aaron and Dad will be late for work," said Claire.
Hearing that, Grandma just nodded.
It turned out that Mrs. Seira and Mr. Atmadja were already tidy. They also ran into Claire when the woman reached the second floor.
"Good morning, Mom, Daddy," said Claire greeting the two middle-aged.
"Em good morning, honey."
"How was your sleep? Did you sleep well?" she asked.
Mrs. Seira immediately nodded, "I am very comfortable, dear. The rooms are clean and tidy, the floral decorations make me feel more relaxed, of course, I sleep well."
Mr. Atmadja just nodded in agreement with his wife's words.
"That's good. I'm pleased to hear it. "Then you guys come down and have breakfast together, I'll take my Uncle and pick up Dave in his room," said Claire again.
"Oh, Dave is still in his room?" asked Mrs. Seira.
Claire just nodded.
Hearing that, Seira turned to her husband, "Come down first, I want to see my grandson in his room," she said.
Mr.. Atmadja just smiled, "Okay."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
