After seeing the departure of his eldest son, Drake quickly stood up and immediately invited Juan to leave his office immediately, they were going somewhere. The man who held the reins as a confidant of the Adams family already knew where his boss was taking him, he no longer asked questions and continued to follow Drake's steps from behind.
Remembering the words she said to Kylie and Chloe asking the two girls to stay away from her because she didn't deserve to be Kylie and Chloe's friend made Daisy continue to daydream, even the girl couldn't hold back her tears over the sadness of losing both friends at once. Daisy really couldn't refuse her parents' request to stay away from Kylie and finally, she decided to stay away from Chloe too because she felt bad if she only stayed away from the daughter of Drake Adams. The simple girl did not want to misunderstand Kylie because what she would get was very risky.
To be honest, Daisy didn't want to lose her two friends. Not because Kylie and Chloe have a high position on their campus, especially Kylie. However, Daisy sees and strongly believes that only those two people are truly sincere friends with her. Especially Chloe who has helped her a lot, even though she couldn't get rid of Viola like Kylie did yesterday.
"I'm sorry, Kyl, Chloe. I hope you guys don't hate and consider me an enemy. I don't want Viola's bullying to happen again," Daisy said.
The girl was a little scared when she finished saying that sentence to Kylie because Kylie could have done more cruelly than Viola did to her, but all of this had been carefully thought out by her and she was ready to bear the risks that would be accepted if Kylie objected to the decision she made.
Daisy continued to cry because she felt that she had lost two special people in her life.
In different places.
Chloe was acting just like Kylie and Daisy. The girl continued to daydream in her room making her eldest brother, Dixon, look confused because he had not seen Chloe's presence from after work. Even now he had cleaned up but still did not see the only woman in the family.
Dixon tried to ask the maid who worked in their house.
The waitress said that from after college Chloe did not come out of her room, even several times the waitress offered to eat, but the girl refused because she was still full. Because of his curiosity and fear of something happening to his only sister, Dixon rushed to the youngest's room. He didn't want to be late, which made him regret overlooking something that seemed to be happening to his youngest sister.
Dixon was also a very caring person to his two siblings. No matter how busy he is, he will continue to make time to be together. The man also did not forget to send messages almost every hour to his two siblings to prove that Chloe and Devian were fine while outside and out of reach.
One knock and Chloe's answer came from inside.
"Can I come in?" Dixon asked the girl who was still in the room.
"Just come in!" Chloe shouted from inside.
The man immediately pushed the door to the room and it was indeed not locked, Dixon could see the lackluster look on Chloe's face at this time. The big question suddenly came to Dixon's head, whether his youngest sister was sick. with wide steps, he approached Chloe and immediately pressed his palm on the girl's forehead, but he did not feel the heat from his sister's body at all.
Chloe could only watch what Dixon was doing to her.
"What's wrong with you? The waiter said that since you got home from college, you've shut yourself in and haven't eaten lunch at all," Dixon asked. There was a worried look on the man's face.
Chloe was truly happy to have two brothers who cared so much for her. She was so lucky, it seemed that the warmth that Kylie and Daisy had was also shared by her. Never did the girl feel a lack of affection, no matter how busy her two brothers were, but they would still take the time to accompany her, especially when she was sad or sick.
"Dixon, do you think Kylie is a good friend? Won't she take advantage of me and Daisy?" the girl asked suddenly and ignored her eldest brother's questions and concerns.
Chloe's question managed to make Dixon surprised, the man immediately sat on Chloe's bed.
"Why are you suddenly asking questions like that? Did Kylie do something to you guys?" Dixon asked. After all, he was the eldest brother in the family who was tasked with replacing his parents to look after Chloe and Devian.
The slightly tomboyish girl shook her head quickly, making Dixon even more confused. Then, what was the meaning of Chloe's question earlier? Dixon thought if his guess was wrong.
Understanding the confusion felt by Dixon, made Chloe say again, "Daisy chose to stay away from me and also Kylie because she did not want to be seen as only utilizing the power Kylie had."
Chloe went on to explain everything Daisy had said when they were on campus. Chloe also told Dixon that she was really sad to lose a friend like Daisy. She has known the simple girl for a long time and does not feel used by Daisy at all. It was Daisy who several times tried to cover up the crimes committed by Viola from her, so that she would not get angry and do something to the girl who had been expelled from the Adams family's campus.
Now Dixon just understood the question asked by Chloe earlier.
"I don't know what Kylie is thinking and what the girl's plans are, but if I look at the past few days, the friendship between you doesn't seem possible if Kylie is just using you, especially Daisy. What's the point? Daisy doesn't have any influence and she's never treated her badly. Like telling Daisy to buy food in the canteen, she has bodyguards who can be ordered to do so or do the assignments given by the lecturer, doesn't everyone know that all of Mr. Drake's children have extraordinary abilities in education?" Dixon said pausing his words.
Chloe remained silent and continued to listen to the words of her eldest brother.
"Kylie's treatment of you and Daisy is the same, no difference at all. You must understand what I'm saying," Dixon replied, trying to elaborate on what he had heard over the past few days from his youngest, how happy Chloe was to make friends and spend time on campus.
Dixon noticed it was very different from before when Chloe always said that her days were ordinary. Nothing special, let alone making her laugh like Kylie and Daisy are doing right now.
Chloe nodded her head, everything Dixon said was true. It turned out that what she thought was exactly what Dixon said, that it was just Daisy's fear.
"Is it possible that in the past few days, Daisy has received unpleasant remarks from her classmates? Surely some of them are picking on Daisy," Chloe asked Dixon, who was still sitting in front of her. The girl tried to guess what was bothering her friend's mind.
"Could be," Dixon replied with a nod of his head.
"Right? Because it's impossible for Daisy to suddenly say something like that if nothing is underlying it. So what should I do to get our friendship back to the way it was yesterday? I also don't want Kylie to misunderstand, especially if this matter reaches Mr. Drake's ears, Daisy and her family's existence could be threatened," Chloe said with a fearful face if something bad happened to her friend because the girl knew how Kylie's family was.
"I don't have any idea what you guys should do because I've never been friends with any of the Adams' kids. To be honest... I'm also actually scared if you get too close to the Adams family, scared if they misunderstand. I don't want you to be subjected to Mr. Drake's sadism, let alone Kylie's four brothers. They're all notoriously cruel, but I can't forbid you from being friends with anyone. I know how picky you are with your friends and not just anyone can make you comfortable like Kylie and Daisy do."
"I hope you can be careful. Don't offend the Adams family because all I have right now is you and Devian!" Dixon said, sounding very sad in Chloe's ears.
"You don't have to worry, I can take care of myself. Daisy and I never talk about anything too heavy either, just normal conversation and more about lessons," Chloe replied to her eldest sister's words.
Dixon nodded his head again, he could trust his youngest sister.
Several luxury cars were parked in front of someone's minimalist house, soon more than 10 well-built men got out and lined up not far from the main door of the house. Someone's luxurious shoes got out of the car and stepped firmly into the house that was already guarded by several people, the man was still wearing his suit, he didn't even have time to change clothes first to meet with this person. All the people around the house immediately went into their respective houses, they did not want to be targeted by the man who still looked handsome even though he was half a century old.
Drake stared at the house in front of him.
A knock on the door was heard from the residents of the house, making the two married couples look at each other.
"Who's here? Did you invite your friend here?" a middle-aged woman asked the man sitting next to her.
"No." The man replied while shaking his head. He didn't feel like he had promised his friends any work.
"Come on, let's see!" the woman invited again.
The man nodded and stood up to follow his wife. With quick steps, the couple headed towards the main door of their house to quickly see who the visitor was.
The middle-aged woman stood behind her husband, inviting him to open the door. After the door opened, the two people were shocked to the point of wide-eyed surprise when they realized that a very familiar man was alone in front of them. Suddenly the couple's faces looked deathly pale, and they even felt that their hearts and breathing began to slow down, to the point of almost stopping.
