Chapter 133 - 133 ( Interest )
Willy did not waste this opportunity to make his point. Staring at Cleo and staring at Cleo\'s beaded eyes down to the deepest layer, he returned to focus on living his words.
"So, tell me what enabled you to marry your current husband. I\'ll help you if it has something to do with money."
Willy\'s gaze and exposure made Cleo stare at him.
"As you know, I\'m also quite wealthy and no less successful financially than that guy because my father owns a production house, an agency, and several other businesses. So stop your married game! We\'ll be back before it\'s too late!"
Willy cursed his own words that deliberately praised his father to make Cleo believe.
Was constantly frustrated by the ridiculousness of his attitude because of the conflict between common sense and the upheaval of his heart.
But Willy inevitably had to curry favor his own father\'s name, which he never wants to admit. Willy was forced to admit it because of his urgency and had a specific purpose.
Wanted Cleo to come back to him and start opening her heart. Willy dared to do anything for that woman.
Cleo, who felt that his words had returned to give the impression that she was indeed a haphazard woman and was easily moved by money.
Indeed married Harry to get money. Then, managed to pay off all debts with that money. Cleo didn\'t need anyone\'s help anymore now.
"I know you mean well to me. But for whatever reason, what I said about my feelings for Harry was true. Can\'t you believe it?" Cleo repeated her words twice.
Did Willy have a bad memory?
"I\'ve asked someone to investigate you. And that person said that you just met not long before you got married. Do you think I can believe your story? Until the fact that I never once saw that man come to your house. Should you lie this far?" said Willy, still doubting what Cleo said. Cleo floated a thousand amazing gazes at Willy
"Are you investigating me?" Cleo asked in disbelief and then laughed mockingly.
"I did this because I had to. Who told you to be so mysterious, sudden, and unexpected. So I have to find out the truth before I hear it directly from you," explained Willy, making Cleo shudder because she was not used to Willy\'s new skills.
Cleo already felt the air of killing from behind. Suddenly felt her back as if stung by thorns and a hot aura that spread out of nowhere stabbed her back.
Cleo quickly realized Harry was standing behind her. Seeing his arms folded in front of his chest and standing in a watchful manner while leaning against one of the nearby walls. Harry succeeded in making Cleo almost have a heart attack.
Didn\'t know since when and how the story went that the man got there even though he said he didn\'t want to meet Aretta and join the meeting. Could it be that because Aretta was no longer here, that man had just finally appeared?
Harry stared at Willy\'s presence with an unfriendly expression. Knowing that the man dared to approach his wife and started coming up with new ideas to take her away. Harry looked at the man coldly.
Decided not to accept the man back in his office for any reason. Harry immediately rushed forward to meet them, when he saw that the two of them had noticed his presence.
Deliberately glanced at Willy and then glanced softly at Cleo. Harry asked Cleo, "Are you done?" asked Harry in a cold, low voice too.
Harry didn\'t ask what they were talking about because he had heard a little and didn\'t want to hear anything else of what Willy said to Cleo.
Instead, he asked about their completion in talking nonsense because Harry will soon take Cleo away from him.
Willy had already answered his question unhappily.
"I\'m still talking to her. So go on and don\'t disturb!"
Feeling very disturbed by Harry\'s figure, Willy was eager to kick the man away. So it was with Harry.
Cleo again tried to be the middle man before Harry raised his eyebrows even more. Jumped up from her place and pushed Harry to go out together. Cleo told Willy that he can go back to his place and where the exit was.
There was a scent of failure in Willy\'s attempt to persuade Cleo. And Willy will try again later. Harry had already pulled Cleo along with him back to the study. Harry looked at Cleo angrily.
"What do you mean by turning off the earphones?" asked Harry coldly, putting Cleo on his chair and keep her from running away.
Cleo suddenly became cornered. And looked straight at Harry. Then felt the pressure.
Know that the man was not in a good mood. Cleo looked at Harry timidly.
"You\'re just asking me to record my conversation with Aretta. Not another recording. Didn\'t I obey you?" asked Cleo.
"But I didn\'t know that your friend was there too," said Harry.
"Me too? I just found out too," said Cleo.
"But how could he be there? And he is Mr. Robby\'s son?" Harry looked at Cleo in disbelief.
Cleo was getting confused in answering. It was not clear how it happened and what the family tree of Willy waa. Cleo knew that Harry also just found out about this from his tapped earphones.
Of course, Cleo couldn\'t answer his question correctly.
"I don\'t know anything before you were the one who interrupted our conversation! Willy hasn\'t given much explanation yet. I only knew that he was Mr. Robby\'s real son. And the stepson and also the half-brother of Martharine. I don\'t know any other information from him," Cleo explaining what she knew.
Harry studied her lightly. His gaze stared deeper at Cleo.
"So he\'s become Young Master now?" asked Harry, half derisively. Cleo did not understand the meaning of the sarcasm.
"Yes, maybe."
"And did you become interested in him?"
"What?"
"Isn\'t that guy so flawless now? Besides you already know each other and he seems to already like you until now he already has the wealth that will make you happy. Are you so hopeful of him?"
Cleo frowned.
"What are you saying? Are you kidding? I\'m just friends with him!" argued Cleo.
"But he looks serious,"
"Me too!"
Harry looked at Cleo with a narrow gaze. Harry was trying to read Cleo\'s mind. However, Cleo didn\'t seem to show any lies. Harry did not know whether it was being expressed honestly or not.
Feeling confused with the contents of his thoughts. Harry shifted his gaze to the other side while leaning himself on the table. Harry then looked at Cleo with a strange look.
"Are you serious about what you said?" Harry asked as if to himself. Cleo has stated her belief.
"I\'m serious and very serious. So, can I get out of here?" Cleo asked while raising an eyebrow.
Cleo felt Harry\'s reaction was too much to her relationship with Willy. Did he dislike Willy that much? But why?
"I know you will later choose him!" Harry muttered in surprise. Cleo looked at him quickly and asked.
"What do you mean?" asked Cleo.
"But even so I will make sure that it will not happen," continued Harry.
"What??" Cleo frowned.
"I\'ll make you realize that. So don\'t disappoint me," cried Harry warningly.
Cleo looked at him confusedly.
Realizing what and disappointing about what?
Cleo felt like a fool and didn\'t understand a single thing Harry said. They finally ended their conversation with a big question mark.
They finally stopped by Sofia\'s house first before they returned home. Cleo had already asked their business there.
"Grandma sent us over there to talk about something," said Harry, glancing at Cleo briefly. They then arrived at Grandma\'s house at night. Met directly with grandmother and all members of the family.
Harry and Cleo were already staring at everyone with astonished looks.
"What is this?" asked Harry, staring at everyone in turn.
Cleo also looked at everyone anxiously. Sofia told Harry and Cleo to sit down first. Asked her household assistant to provide drinks for the two and asked everyone to gather in the living room.
Cleo had looked at everyone\'s expressions one by one. Cleo knew that Grandma will talk about serious things after this.
Staring at Harry\'s uncle and aunt who were already staring at them with unreadable expressions. Christina also seemed silent in her place. So that Kiky also only showed a neutral expression.
Cleo swallowed her saliva slowly.
"Could it be something serious, Grandma?" asked Cleo. Gazed at Sofia with a hesitant, timid look. Sofia couldn\'t possibly have known something about their contract marriage, right?
But why did the situation become so tense? Did they miss something?
"I want you to be honest with me. Is there anything you guys are hiding from me?" Sofia asked in a calm yet depressing manner.
Harry and Cleo looked at each other.
