Genius Children - The Heirs
12. Blood Descendant Cross
Liana stirred up her drink while thinking. He sometimes scrunched his forehead and sometimes he also dropped his lips.
Various expressions he displayed as a form of his turbulent mood.
“Fruit, looks like I have to go to the toilet.”
“Ya.”
As Liana stood up and turned, she accidentally bumped into a woman. As a result, the woman was doused by the drink she was carrying.
Liana was surprised and immediately apologized while lowering her head.
“I'm sorry, it's my fault.”
“You!” the woman looked very angry to see her clothes wet. “What is your apology for making my shirt clean again?”
“I'm really sorry. I can wash it if you want.”
The woman looked at Liana's mocking face.
“Would if you washed it this coffee stain would disappear? Do you know how much this dress cost? Even your pride can't match my dress price!”
“Hey miss keep talking!”
Suah was suddenly angry at the woman.
“Who are you? I have nothing to do with you.”
“Of course we have business. You just insulted my friend.”
“Ah you are friends of this man. Wow of course, fools are friends with fools.”
“You! Dare to call me stupid.”
Suah immediately stood up and slapped the woman.
Pa
“You dare slap me!”
Liana was surprised. “Fruit, stop.”
“You!”
The woman grabbed Suah's hair. Suah also grabbed the woman's hair. Liana tries to separate the two women.
“Stop.”
“Liana don't stop me from teaching her a lesson.”
Suah did not want Liana involved in this duel, so she pushed Liana aside but because she was not ready she lost her footing and moved backwards.
Dukes.
Liana like hit a solid chest. Liana furrowed her brows and looked up.
The noisy sounds of chaos suddenly stopped being silent as if time had been frozen.
Liana looked at Suah and the woman alternately. The woman slowly removed her hand from Suah's hair and vice versa.
Liana lifted back her face and the handsome man in silence.
“Gideon.”
Everyone turned to Liana who was still in Gideon's arms. Liana cleared her throat before justifying her standing position.
Gideon straightened his hands and fixed his sleeves wordlessly.
The corner of his lips slowly curved meaningfully.
Liana was uncomfortable whenever Gideon's eyes fell on her body. Liana retreated and was about to escape.
“Stop.” Gideon's voice was so cold and deep.
Like a magnet, Liana's steps stopped in place. He then looked back.
“What do you want?”
“Is that how you ignore someone?”
“Sorry, we don't know each other.”
Gideon feels funny with Liana's attitude. Gideon approached Liana a few steps and she even brought her face closer looking into Liana's eyes with a deeper smile.
“Tnot knowing each other? We even slept together.”
Liana's body stiffened for a while.
“Pak Gideon, how can you have no shame?”
Everyone around them started talking about them. Rumors started to wander. Everyone wanted to know Liana's identity because Liana dared to disrespect Gideon but Gideon was not angry even once.
The people behind Gideon could not hide his curiosity.
“Does our president have any special feelings towards this girl?”
“Isn't our President never interested in any woman. President has always been a cold-blooded man.”
All the employees and people who worked under Gideon named the man cold-blooded. That's not an excuse.
“Didn't our President already have a fiancee.”
“But they live separately. There are rumors saying that her fiance is infertile and the mother of little young master Daniel is someone else.”
“What are you talking about? If the President hears, you'll be fired.”
“Cute with me.”
“No.”
Liana refused but Gideon pulled her over.
“Let go of me.”
Gideon passed his bodyguard and whispered, “Give compensation to the woman.”
“Good.”
While at Gideon's doorstep, Liana sees an opportunity to escape. He bit Gideon's arm strongly and managed to escape.
“Never see me again!”
Gideon's expression was cold but gradually changed. “Badgirls.”
Gideon got into his car and headed to his company.
With a short time, he was already sitting with power in his loveseat. His hand held the pen and hit the table slowly. It looks like he's waiting for someone there.
“Presdir called me.”
As Johan knocked on the door and stood in front of him. Gideon leaned his back on the chair while looking at Johan coldly.
A pair of eagle eyes ready to prey suddenly messed up Johan in nervousness.
Johan was suddenly overwhelmed with guilt. He could not even look at Gideon as usual. All he did was bow.
“How many know you work with me?”
Johan's soul was shaken as his boss asked the question.
“About five years.”
“I gave up the position to you because you have good skills and you said will not disappoint me.”
“Yes, I will serve the President and promise to be loyal to the President.”
Gideon nodded and looked at Johan, then opened his desk drawer and took out a photo there.
He handed it to Johan. Johan took the photo and saw it.
When Johan saw her he felt that the photo of the little boy there was very similar to Gideon.
This photo was sent to Simon by the detective whose grandfather had hired him. As soon as his grandfather got the photo, he immediately rushed to meet Gideon.
Gideon was surprised to see the photo. There is absolutely no doubt that the child in the photo is his flesh and blood.
However seeing Liana hide it from him he gives orders to Johan to further investigate Liana.
Gideon looked at Johan with a deep look. That look was merciless. Of course Johan was scared. He feared that Gideon would find out that he had betrayed his trust.
“Johan, go and investigate this kid. Give me a satisfactory report.”
Johan nervously walked out of Gideon's office. He had just been able to breathe a sigh of relief but he again felt suffocated as he was dragged in the assistant's office.
“Mrs.”
“What did he tell you? Did you tell him?”
“Presdir told me to fully investigate Liana's identity.”
“Do not! Do you want to see me die.”
“Mistress, I betrayed the President. I don't want to betray the President anymore.”
Hearing that, Ruona trembled. It was as if he was drowning in the bottom of the sea and his only hope was Johan.
“If you don't say it, he won't know.”
“But what if the boy is really the flesh blood of the President.”
Ruona looked straight at Johan. If that were true, Damian would be considered the heir and successor of the Cross family as well as CGI Corp.
Ruona turned around and looked down.
“That's all the woman's fault. She gave birth to two sons for the Cross family. This puts me in a very bad position.”
Johan scrunched his forehead as he was not very clear with what Ruona was muttering.
“I can't give the Cross family a descent. I don't have a pawn to guard my position as Young Miss Cross. I can do anything I want. It was all thanks to Grandpa. Gideon promised me that it was all thanks to Grandpa.
But now grandfather's health is getting weaker. If grandfather isn't around, I don't guarantee I can stay in my position.
If grandpa knew Damian's identity. Nah! If grandpa finds out that I stole it from him. If grandpa knew I was a con man. No!”
Ruona covered her face in panic.
“Mistress, are you okay?”
Ruona immediately turned around and pleaded with Johan.
“Do not investigate it back. If you do, it's the same you have killed me.”
His tears fell and he started to hold Johan's hand even Ruona leaned against Johan's chest.
“Johan help me.”
Johan's heart skipped a beat and he began to swallow his own saliva.
