Semua Bab The Pride: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Nick’s guess was right, his words just now could make him burn with emotion and walk towards him while holding up his fist. Nicko was just calm, so calm when Catherine’s husband was in front of him he didn’t dodge, instead shouted at his wife. “Jo, untie your sister, take her to your room and lock the door!” Jo nodded and ran to do her husband’s instructions. That’s when Nicko lowered his body slightly to the side and made Armando’s fist miss. What Nicko did made Armando furious. The man turned around and tried to hit the young poor man. Armando, who was already burning with emotion because he thought Nicko was playing with him, became even more furious. In fact, this time he swung his fist faster. “Is that how you fight?” Nicko sneered. “Huh! You b

It was dark, Catherine was fast asleep after crying all day while accompanied by Jo. Tonight, Daisy and Edmund did not come home because they had to attend a banquet at a friend’s place. “Huh, they must go for gambling,” Jo thought when she got the message from his mother. After making sure that Catherine was completely calm, Jo got up and looked at her reflection in the mirror, then looked out the window. “Everything’s safe, I think.” Josephine’s bedroom window had two layers of shutters. The inside is glass, while the outside is made of wood shutters. Her husband had already propped up the golf club on the inner handle in a criss-crossed position. Jo changed into a maroon satin nightgown. Then wrote a message to her sister that she was with Nicko and put it on the nightstand. Jo opened the door to Catherine&rsqu

Nicko who was standing behind Edmund looked at his father-in-law with a surprised look. What Josephine’s father did was really strange. This man looked at a collection of worthless stones. He thought, how could someone who said they came from a respectable and rich family could not tell the difference between real and fake gems. Meanwhile, Jo was still cursing Daisy with questions about where they had been last night. “Tell me, where were you gone last night?” Jo asked, urging her mother, and made the woman who had given birth to her look nervous. “Did Mom and Dad go gambling again?” Jo asked scornfully. Because of the constant pressure, Daisy finally confessed where they had gone. Daisy’s socialite society invited them to try their luck. Daisy and Edmund got a lot of wins, so t

Now it was Edmund’s turn to approach his son-in-law. Though he thought about Nicko’s kindness, that prevented Howard from slapping his daughter. However, his prestige as someone with a higher status than his son-in-law has overtaken the pleasant image of Nicko. His pride really dropped when his son-in-law mentioned the gems he bought. They purchased the gems at a gathering of admirers of precious stones. It was a matter of pride for Edmund who has beat Mr. Bernard Bass who always wins gem auctions. Edmund thought that Bernard Bass was so broke that he didn’t beat his bid of fifty million. Even though Bernard Bass was receiving news that required him to withdraw from the auction, Edmund was the winner. Josephine’s father’s victory brought him to a triumph. He seemed admired and was given a standing ovation by all members of the association. This h

Nicko turned off the engine of his car as soon as he arrived at the center for buying and selling gold and precious stones. The five of them agreed to go on foot and follow Edmund’s directions, which determined where the gem would be examined. “We’re going to the First Gems,” Edmund said in lead. First Gems is the largest gem shop in the area, as well as the most famous gem shop in westcoast town. A shop that has always been a destination for gemstone collectors. All of them entered the building with the dominance of dark-colored glass. From the outside it looked like there was close. While, inside it turns out to have a unique aura. The image of the beauty and luxury of precious stones could dazzle Daisy and Catherine’s eyes. However, her eldest daughter is not as enthusiastic as her mother. Followed by
