Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 352

352 Another clue

“Damn...damn...damn...” Charlotte vented her annoyance by constantly pounding the pillow in her room.

A few moments ago Anne forbade her to go with Christian. Even though she went to the villa owned by the Clarke family, Charlotte was sure that her relationship with Christian will improve. Charlotte wants to take advantage of Christian’s downturn, that’s why she wants to be by his side to support him. But her intention can’t be realized because Anne forbids her to go with Christian

“Aaaarrrrgggghhhh....”

Because all the rooms in the family mansion have silencers installed, as a result, no matter how loud Charlotte screams in the room no one would be able to hear it. That’s why Charlotte dared to vent her annoyance by constantly screaming in her room, one of her old habits that can’t be lost.

An hour ago when Anne managed to persuade Christian to leave the tomb, Charlotte offered to accompany Christian to the villa. However, Anne, who was standing next to Christian immediately forbade Charlotte to go with him, Anne reasoned that Christian would be accompanied by Kainer. It was clear, however, that Kainer had to return to the hospital to continue treatment in order to maximize his recovery. That’s why at this moment Charlotte was so angry, she was very angry with Anne.

“Looks like I’ll have to be more aggressive from now on,” Charlotte said determinedly. “After everyone leaves, I will continue to cling to Christian. Christian will surely submit to me, no man can resist the charm of a beautiful woman like myself. Especially if men are used to enjoying the warmth of a woman’s body like Christian.”

When Charlotte was in a bad mood in her room, the opposite happened to Suri. After finishing eating, Suri continued to be alone in the garden. She didn’t want to be disturbed or talk to anyone. Suri really wanted to be alone. Even though the cell phone that she wanted so much was still lying on the table, Suri didn’t touch the cellphone that had been confiscated by her father for the past month. Luna’s death had such a great effect on Suri.

“What are you looking at, Jorge?”

Jorge, who was watching Suri, flinched when he heard Erick’s voice.

.....

“Can’t you walk like any normal person? Your footsteps are completely inaudible, like a ghost!” Jorge grumbled in annoyance.

Eric chuckled. “Don’t overdo it, where are humans walking silently. My footsteps are so loud, you’re the one who’s not focused. That’s why you can’t hear the sound of my footsteps when walking closer to you.”

Jorge clucked in annoyance, Erick’s defense made him even more annoyed.

“I also asked, what are you doing in this place alone without anyone...”

Erick’s words stopped when he looked at the garden where Suri was sitting.

“Miss Suri ...”

Jorge nodded slowly. ” I’m watching Miss Suri.”

“What is Miss Suri doing in the garden alone like that? Isn’t everyone resting right now?” asked Erick, confused, because thirty minutes ago when they finished eating with Jack ordered everyone to rest.

After Luna’s body was made up, Christian immediately brought Luna’s body home to be buried at home. Apart from not wanting to create public chaos, Christian also wants to spend Luna’s last moments at home. So far, Luna’s birth has been kept strictly from the public, so if the Clarke family announces Luna’s death, it will be a big fuss that will surely disturb Christian and all of his business. That’s why Christian decided to immediately bring Luna home before anyone found out about her whereabouts.

Everyone, including Suri, accompanied Christian to guard Luna’s coffin in the hall, a hall that was rarely used unless there was an important event. The rest of the hall will be tightly locked.

“Miss Suri will be sick if this continues,” said Erick again. “And if that happens then Mr. Jack will be angry.”

“I’ve tried asking Miss Suri to come into the house several times, but Miss Suri still insists on staying in the garden.”

Eric took a deep breath. “Okay, I’ll try to talk to her now. Just prepare some hot chocolate for Miss Suri, she really likes warm chocolate which is a little bitter.”

“Alright, I’ll prepare hot chocolate for her.”

Erick stepped into the garden where Suri sat alone, watching Suri’s growth since she was a baby, making Erick quite understand the girl’s nature.

“May I sit here, Miss?”

Suri lifted her face up, looking at Erick who was smiling at her. “I don’t want to be disturbed, Erick.”

“I don’t want to bother you, Miss. I also want to calm myself down, after this very tiring event. Honestly, my whole body is in so much pain right now, if it continues like this I might retire quickly.”

Suri’s eyes widened. “You can’t quit his job so soon, Erick. Daddy still needs you.”

Binggo, the bait that was installed by Erick was right on target.

“But I am very tired, Miss and to be honest I am too...”

“No.” Suri immediately grabbed Erick’s hand and forced him to sit down. “You can’t quit your job yet, Daddy will be in a lot of trouble when you quit, Erick.”

“Isn’t there still Nicholas, so there’s no way Mr Jack is having trouble.”

Suri shook her head. “You two are Daddy’s two confidants, if one of you stops, I’m sure Daddy will have problems. Therefore, I beg you not to stop in the first place.”

Eric took a deep breath. “Serving Mr. Jack wasn’t too tiring for me, it’s just that with the many problems that have arisen lately I feel that my body and brain can’t take it anymore. You who used to be so open to me have become so closed and to be honest this makes me increasingly burdened. I feel that my work is getting harder because there is no one who can make me feel relaxed in the midst of such a hectic task.”

“W..what do you mean?”

“Don’t you realize that you have changed a lot, Miss? You used to be so close to me, to everyone. You smile easily and are so cheerful. But now you close yourself to everyone, including me and honestly I feel lost. Lost one of my reasons to come to work,” replied Erick lying a little, he was forced to exaggerate his words a little to make Suri annoyed. “I miss the old Suri Mireya Clarke so much, Suri Mireya who smiled so easily.”

Suri let go of Erick’s hand and lowered her head slowly. “How can I smile when I’ve made my brother’s little family fall apart, Erick. How can I smile when my very beautiful little niece died before she met her mother.”

“Miss Suri...”

“I’m sorry, Erick,” said Suri again full of regret. “If only I hadn’t spoken at that time, maybe this wouldn’t have happened, Christian and Elena would have lived happily with Luna.”

Suri’s body shook violently along with tears that were so heavy.

“Miss...”

“I really can’t remember clearly, Erick.”

“If you can’t remember clearly what happened, then why can you say that Elena is the girl who conspired with the kidnappers? How can you forget the real criminals?”

Suri fiddled with her fingers. “Areez...”

“Areez Floyen, what’s wrong with Areez Floyen?”

“Areez made me forget about Osbert and the Japanese guy,” said Suri quietly. “With all that annoying attitude I forgot about Osbert, I even forgot how I was in bed before Zwetta helped me.”

Erick moved his hand, signaling Jorge not to come any closer.

“Could you tell me the details of the incident, Miss?”

Suri turned her face towards Erick. “What do you want to hear?”

“Everything from how you got separated from Asher to finally ending up in Auckland, at Areez Floyen’s.”

“It’s a long story and will sound boring, will you still want to hear it?”

Eric nodded his head quickly. “Of course, I really want to hear it, Miss. I need to know whether Areez Floyen is guilty or not, so I can pass judgment on him.”

“Really? You want to do that for me?”

Erick smirked, his guess was right. Suri likes Areez Floyen.

So far, Suri has never detailed the kidnapping incident that happened to her, especially after learning that Elena was not part of the kidnappers. Suri just misrecognizes people, everyone’s attention is only focused on Suri’s mistakes without finding out what causes Suri to misrecognize people.

“Of course, I am not a person who will hate someone if someone is innocent. Therefore I have to know whether Areez Floyen deserves to be hated or not,” Erick said again.

“At that time I was immediately smothered with a handkerchief, the movement was so fast that I couldn’t dodge or scream,” said Suri quietly. “There are a lot of them, maybe more than four.”

Erick clenched his fists, looking so angry. Even though he already knew about the kidnapping of Suri from the Ronin, when he heard directly from Suri his anger was unstoppable. “The kidnappers immediately smothered you in public like that?”

Siri nodded slowly. “Yeah, at first I thought they were Christian’s men. That’s why I didn’t feel suspicious when I saw them coming to me in the lounge which was empty at the time.”

“So?”

“I don’t remember anymore, when I woke up I was already in a luxury hotel room with my hands and feet tied. But I’m still grateful, because at that time my clothes were still intact. The bad guys haven’t touched me or rather don’t want to touch me because I’ve been sold to that skinny ugly Japanese man,” said Suri hoarsely.

“And after Osbert came to my room, Zwetta appeared. The foreign girl with a face mask and all black clothes appeared, with her bare hands she paralyzed Osbert and the Japanese man before she finally injected the HIV virus into Osbert’s body. And after that she asked me to leave the hotel , but because I was so hungry I begged her to eat first until I finally caught Areez after we both broke into his unlocked room.”

Erick straightened his body. “Why were you the only one who was caught by Areez, Miss? What about Zwetta? Did she leave you until you finally...”

“I asked Zwetta to leave, after Zwetta didn’t manage to pull me out of Areez’s grip,” replied Suri quietly.

“Asking Zwetta to leave? Why?” Erick asked curiously, he didn’t know about this yet.

“Because I don’t want to burden her anymore, apart from that I’ve also messaged her to contact Daddy to help me. I even mentioned Daddy’s full name to her, that’s why I let Zwetta go then.” Suri pursed her lips as she recalled the incident. “At the time I was absolutely sure that Zwetta would find Daddy and tell him what had happened to me, but until I lived in Auckland for three years none of you knew where I was.”

Erick immediately shut up, his intelligent brain working quickly. Suri’s last words made him curious.
