Robert froze at his gaze. He then blinked slightly and said in a halting tone. "I… I don\'t mean that! Jean, isn\'t our cooperation just starting? All projects are progressing steadily and this sudden termination of cooperation puts all of these projects at a standstill. If this project is allowed to stop halfway through, how can the Pangestu Family survive in Surabaya in the future?"

"So?" Jean replied, "You might have forgotten, if the Widjaya family did not take the initiative to discuss cooperation, the Pangestu family would have been absent for a long time."

Robert was stunned for a moment and was speechless.

What Jean said was true. Had it not been for the Widjaya Family\'s help, the Pangestu Family might have….

Jean stared at Robert who was lost in contemplation. His thin lips twitched and after turning her head away, he turned and looked into the darkness of night outside the window. When he spoke, his tone was cold. "Since you think it is a breach of contract by the Widjaya family, I want to ask you about a minor matter."

"Two months ago, the Widjaya family added its investment money to the Pangestu family for business purposes. However, according to my information, your wife is using as much as five billion of our cooperative funds for personal use," he continued.

A simple sentence stirred waves in Robert\'s heart.

He stared at Jean\'s hastily standing figure, forgetting to react in a daze.

At first, Robert and Sylvia intended to transfer the money to the company account. But they were tempted by their own greed, so they fabricated the expenses and manipulated the cash flow.

This process was done very carefully and secretively, how could Jean realize it?

Robert was yet to grasp the impact of Jean\'s words, but he heard this handsome man say again, "As the leader of the Pangestu family\'s company, you must know the consequences and costs of such arbitrary diversion of cooperative funds. You, as the one holding the investors\' money, have violated their trust!"

"Currently, the Widjaya family has only just canceled the cooperation and withdrew our capital. Or do you want me to investigate the embezzlement of funds committed by members of the Pangestu Family? should I follow up on this incident?"

At this moment, Robert\'s body was shaking non-stop, as if he had been struck by lightning!

The light in this living room was very bright, but he felt his eyes begin to blacken.

This was not the result he wanted, and it shouldn\'t turn out this way.

Robert opened his mouth, but he was too stupid that he didn\'t know how to answer.

After a while, Jean slowly turned away from the window, his eyes were fixed on Robert\'s panicked expression. "Mr. Robert, rather than asking Lilia for help, you better focus on your own daughter. After all, you didn\'t hesitate to falsify Lilia\'s birth certificate more than ten years ago for her. You seem to side with Leila, but if she doesn\'t appear at a time of her family crisis, does she still have a face to show in public?"

Jean\'s words were sharp and full of ridicule.

When Robert stepped to the door and was about to go home, Jean gave a warning in a low voice, "Mr. Robert, this will be the last time. Never use her name again."

Jean didn\'t want the Pangestu family to drag Lilia into their problems. No matter what, the man wouldn\'t spare the Pangestu family if they dared to bother Lilia again.

Robert was standing at the door, his back felt cold.

He was defeated so badly again because of his own family.

He thought this matter could be discussed on good terms. In the end, all of this was just a cause and effect cycle.

So ridiculous and pathetic.

He slammed the door hard and stepped into the darkness of the night, wondering if it was an illusion. The cold night felt colder than in previous years.

The calendar still hadn\'t entered the month of December, but the weather already made him tremble with the cold, as if snow was going to fall in this land.

...

After Robert left, Jean stood in front of the window and remained silent for a long time.

He still kept his cool as he smoked his cigarette in the living room. After the smell was almost gone, he closed the window. In the next instant, he grabbed his jacket from the sofa and grabbed his cellphone to send a message.

The content was concise and straightforward. "Finish it completely."

Initially, he had no intention of rushing to annihilate the Pangestu family because he still considered Robert\'s kindness when he cared for and nurtured Lilia over the years.

After all, there was always a little sincerity in it.

But tonight, the Pangestu family dug their own grave.

Jean could tolerate anything, but Lilia was offlimit.

After texting, he put his phone back in his pocket and closed his eyes with a sigh. At this time, the sound of light footsteps slowly approached him.

Lilia had changed her clothes and put on her sleeping pajamas. She walked to her husband\'s back, put her hands on his waist, hugged him from behind while muttering, "My husband is amazing!"

She came to praise her husband. The man didn\'t move, but he covered his wife\'s fingertips around his waist then said softly, "Why are you suddenly praising me? Did you eavesdrop?"

Lilia put her ear on her back, she listened to her husband\'s deep voice and nodded. "I heard everything, I was on the top stairs!"

"Don\'t you think I\'m overreacting?" The man smiled incessantly, he rubbed the back of his wife\'s hand as he smiled and joked.

"Who\'s overreacting?" Lilia slowly slammed her face onto Jean\'s back and smacked her forehead, "I had guessed that he didn\'t come tonight to reminisce about the past. His intention was clear from the start.

Then she continued, "He still thought of me an innocent and stupid girl like always. He threw me out ever since that incident, so the Pangestu family is no longer in my heart. They only love Leila, not me! Now something has happened to them and they are casually asking for my help? Where is their common sense?"

"It\'s true that they took care of me, but in the end, everything was ruined and I was replaced by Leila."

In the end, Lilia\'s graceful and beautiful tone sounded sneering and mocking.

She had been holding herself back until now, so she didn\'t attack Robert right away.

Lilia did consider not going too hard on Robert out of the years that the man spent taking care of her, but it wasn\'t because she was soft-hearted. Her positive heart allowed her to do so. However, the fact that Robert cared for her so affectionately didn\'t change.

But from now on, she wouldn\'t be kind anymore.

...

Tonight, Robert returned to his house alone.

All of the servants who used to flock to serve him had been fired without a trace.

He turned on the light, stood in the hallway and stared at the worrying emptiness and silence of the living room.

He walked over to the sofa with a tired face and sat down. The light was not very bright. In his dim vision, only the tree trunk outside the window reflected the mottled ground.

At this moment, he knew very well that the Pangestu family would eventually perish.

Because of his own actions, because of his greed and deceit, because of the many lies he told, the Pangestu family was completely destroyed, reaping what they had sown.
