Samuel didn't expect Ivan to immediately kick him out.

  He looked a little uncontrollable, twisted his eyebrows, slightly pouting. "Master Ivan, I know Erika……"

  "Master Samuel, please!"

  Samuel anxiously wanted to speak his mind, but Roy, the butler of the Laibahas family, was already standing right in front of him and stretched out his arms towards the exit.

  "Master, your mother is waiting for you in the ancestral hall. She said that she had something to discuss with you!"

  "Okay, I'll go!" Ivan dropped the fish food in his hand, got up and walked into the inner courtyard.

  Samuel never imagined that as the head of a powerful family in Surabaya, he would receive such a cold welcome in Jakarta.

  Standing alone by the pool, he saw Ivan's figure walking away, his face extremely ugly.

  No matter how he denied it, Samuel firmly believed that Erika was here!

  At this time, Roy saw that Samuel did not answer, so he stepped forward and reminded. "Master Samuel, I will send you out!"

  Samuel retracted his gaze, looked at Roy, and finally returned without saying anything.

  For now, he couldn't clash with the Laibahas family who held such power in South Jakarta.

  While walking towards the exit, Samuel flashed a flash of enthusiasm, and took the initiative to speak. "I heard that the Laibahas family has found their daughter who'd been missing for years?"

  Roy walked beside him, and shook his head with a smile. "There's a lot of gossip going around about my master's family, you shouldn't believe it too much!"

  He's also denying this?!

  Samuel's heart skipped a beat, his palms involuntarily clenched into fists. "If the gossip is false, why don't the Laibahas family clarify it? Why are you guys throwing such a big banquet instead?"

  "We don't need to clarify anything because time will make things clear, right? You're also a Patriarch, I'm sure it doesn't fit you to be dealing with all these trivial matters. The Laibahas family hasn't lost a daughter in all these years. It's probably a rumor that's spread to every family, just like countless other rumors!"

  As they spoke, the two of them had already stepped out of the door, and Roy bowed slightly. "Patriarch, I will not escort you all the way to the gate, I hope you can understand it."

  After that, Roy didn't give him a chance to ask further, he turned around and closed the door tightly.

  Today, Samuel was lucky enough to enter the Laibahas house, but he was forcibly evicted without taking anything back with him.

  He stood where he was, looking at the closed courtyard door, feeling very complicated.

  Could it be… Erika really isn't here?

  But only then did he clearly see Ivan's unfriendly attitude towards him.

  He was a guest, and even though he came from a big family in Surabaya, he shouldn't do anything reckless here.

  Ivan's prejudice against him was unreasonable.

  At this moment, Samuel was standing outside the courtyard door in silence. But he didn't know that just a few meters away, Erika was also standing on the spot.

  "Is anyone coming?" Erika glanced at the closed door, and spoke to Roy softly.

  The house of the Laibahas usually received very few guests. She had heard someone talking by the pool. Just as she was about to take a look, he saw Roy closing the door and walking back.

  At this moment, Roy hastily came in front of Erika, then smiled kindly. "No one came, that person came to the wrong house. Did the noise disturb your rest?"

  Erika smiled. "No, I heard that my brother is in the front yard, and I came to discuss something with him. Is he not here?"

  Roy pointed his hand towards the inner courtyard. "Master has been summoned to the ancestral hall, you can wait for him in the tea room. When he is out, I will deliver the message to Miss."

  Erika looked back at the courtyard door again. "Okay, sorry for bothering you!"……

  Noon.

  Samuel sat in the car with a serious expression. He looked at the door of the Laibahas house not far from him. After falling silent, he asked the assistant beside him. "Regarding the information we got, are you sure Erika is inside?"

  The assistant nodded and replied with a serious face, "Yes, sir. It's no secret that the Laibahas have just found their daughter."

  Hearing this, Samuel clutched his forehead in annoyance. But he still wasn't sure himself whether their daughter was Erika or not.

  After a moment of silence, he sighed heavily. "Alright, let's go back to the hotel!"

  As the two cars went away, this scene was also reported to Ivan for the first time……

  Towards noon, Clifford and Chris stood outside their cafe building, chatting while smoking cigarettes.

  Merry and Anna were sitting in the room, both looked out the window and fell silent.

  Anna's gaze stared blankly at the scene, but she didn't know when it fell on Clifford's body.

  After keeping in touch all this time, she found that this 'wooden' man looked quite handsome.

  Although he is not as handsome as Jean and Chris, this quiet man can be relied on sometimes.

  "When will I be able to see Mother!"

  At this moment, Merry muttered in a daze. She turned to look at Anna and found that she was dreamily looking outside.

  The little girl leaned close to her, following her gaze in bewilderment. "Anna, are you looking at Brother Chris the Wood?"

  She could take a deep look at Clifford, but if she looked at Chris, then she had to be careful with him.

  Anna was suddenly surprised by Merry's tone. She calmly retracted her gaze and shook her head in denial. "I wasn't looking at anyone!"

  "Really?" Merry was suspicious, but didn't take it seriously.

  The two little girls were silent for a few more moments, and Chris had stubbed out his cigarette and returned.

  Upon seeing this, Merry straightened her back and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how are you?"

  She heard that her father had just been kicked out of the Laibahas family home not too long ago.

  This news made Merry's mood unable to calm down.

  Now that they were all in South Jakarta, deep down inside she still stubbornly didn't want to tell Samuel.

  After all, they both have the same goal, but it's still a mystery who will be able to meet her mother first.

  At this time, Chris and Clifford sat down, and a burst of smoke also floated up.

  Chris lifted his lips and said, "You sit here first, I'm going out to do something. I'll be back in an hour at most."

  "Where are you going? I want to come with you!"

  Merry volunteered and wanted to be with Chris. No matter what the man had to do, she wanted to follow.

  Chris narrowed his eyes. "You need to be a good girl, so wait for me here."

  When the little girl saw Chris' serious expression, she covered her mouth in frustration.

  Chris turned his head and advised Clifford a few more words, then left the cafe.

  Downstairs, the bodyguard opened the car's door at just the right time. Chris got into the car, and immediately asked the driver to run the car……

  Twenty minutes later, Chris was standing in the street, squinting into the bustling alley. "Is he here?"

  The bodyguard beside him stepped forward and nodded, "Still on the way, there are about five minutes before they arrived."

  After those words were finished, Chris looked at him calmly, smiling but not smiling. "You know Ivan's moves pretty well!"

  "I know!"

  Chris. "……"

  This father's bodyguard is indeed arrogant!
