My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

As soon as Ansel entered the living room, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa, their faces solemn. He sensed that something important was about to happen and bravely approached them after a moment of hesitation. Ansel spoke up to get his parents’ attention and asked them why they had urgently called him back. The expressions of both his parents were so severe that Ansel felt worried.

“Your expressions seem to suggest that there is a matter of concern. May I know what it is?” Ansel asked with apprehension.

“Please take a seat, Ansel,” his father replied, his tone serious. “We need to have a conversation with you regarding your health.”

Ansel sat down, facing his parents with a growing sense of unease. “What’s the matter?” he asked, bracing himself for the worst.

“We are worried that you may not be taking proper care of yourself and not following the doctor’s instructions,” his father said, his expression grave.

Ansel felt remorseful for causing his parents to worry. “I understand my neglect may have worried you both, and I apologize. Rest assured, I am taking steps to improve my health,” he said, trying to reassure them.

Ansel had just finished speaking when his mother interrupted, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“How have you been improving, exactly? By burying yourself in work and neglecting your own health?”

“That’s not what I’m doing.” Ansel tried to defend himself, but his mother wasn’t interested in listening. She continued to berate him.

“If you really cared about your health and our concerns, you would have followed our advice. You should be resting at home instead of running to the office,” Ansel’s mother said, sounding sad and disappointed that he was going against her wishes.

“I know you only want what’s best for me, but I’m the CEO, the head of the company. The company needs me,” Ansel said, struggling to explain. “I can’t just abandon my work.”

“Don’t try to make excuses. It’s clear that you’re just trying to defy us. You’re not listening to anything we say,” Ansel’s mother accused him.

“Mom. That’s not it. I…” Ansel tried to explain, but once again, his mother dismissed him, unwilling to listen.

“The company can function without you. You need to focus on treating your illness. That’s the only way to improve your health. The doctor has already said it; if you’re diligent about treatment, you may recover soon,” Ansel’s mother asserted firmly.

“But…”

“No buts…” Ansel’s father cut him off with a commanding voice. “Ansel, you need to remember that you’re the sole heir of the Brown family. Your cancer diagnosis was already a huge shock to us. If you can’t be cured, what fate awaits you? Do we know what to do?”

Ansel’s father’s voice suddenly lowered, as if there was something stuck in his throat. Ansel looked at his father, feeling guilty for lying and hiding the truth.

“Ansel. Think about your parents’ feelings,” the woman continued after her husband. “We don’t want to see anything terrible happen to you.”

Faced with the firm and somewhat harsh attitude of his parents, Ansel didn’t know how to argue anymore. How could he refute his parents’ words when they were partially right?

“Ansel, listen to your parents, okay?” Ansel’s mother pleaded in a low voice once again. The loving look of the woman made Ansel feel grateful.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I know.” Ansel replied with a sad smile: “I won’t make you worry anymore.”

Hearing this, the woman stood up from the chair, walked towards Ansel, and hugged him. Before the warm embrace, Ansel felt fortunate to have parents who always cared for him.

“Listening to us is good enough. We will find a way together to get you better.” Ansel’s mother said after breaking the hug that she had a very cheerful smile. Ansel couldn’t ignore that smile, so he smiled back.

“I have a request.” Although he didn’t want to make his mother unhappy, Ansel had to express the turmoil in his heart: “Can I bring my work from the company home to solve it?”

“No.” Ansel’s mother immediately objected upon hearing his request. “You need to rest and receive treatment. No work.”

“But what about my job at the company? I can’t just ignore it,” Ansel argued. “If you don’t agree, then I’ll have to go to work as usual.”

“Ansel. Do you want to go against your parent’s wishes?” Ansel’s mother scolded him in a raised voice. “Do you want to disappoint us?”

Knowing that his mother was someone who acted on impulse and was difficult to persuade, Ansel chose to remain silent instead of arguing. The atmosphere suddenly became tense when Ansel didn’t respond. Ansel wanted to quickly go to his room to rest. But he knew that his parents wouldn’t allow it. So Ansel sat there, waiting for the next move from his parents, especially from his mother, before thinking further.

“Ansel. How about this?” Ansel’s father spoke up after a moment of silence. “I think, for now, you should hand over everything to Kevin to handle. How does that sound?”

After hearing his father’s suggestion, Ansel was immediately surprised.

“What do you mean, Dad?” Ansel asked, wanting to know exactly what his father was planning to do.

“Let Kevin take over managing AB Company instead of you,” Ansel’s father reiterated firmly.

“Why would you do that? I object!” Ansel exclaimed, feeling that his father’s idea was insane. He couldn’t accept it.

“Why not?” Ansel’s father calmly argued.

“Kevin is not suitable for that position,” Ansel said. “Moreover, Kevin also has his own job. It’s better not to burden him.”

“I think Kevin is completely suitable to replace you.” Ansel’s father had a different thought: “Both you and Kevin are good leaders.”

“Why Kevin?” Ansel felt curious, so he asked his father about this sudden decision.

“Kevin is Baker’s son-a person who has contributed greatly to the development of the JK Corporation.”

“What does that have to do with AB?” Ansel asked, feeling confused about his father’s idea. Was there a deeper reason behind this decision? “Remember, I built AB myself.”

“But AB was separated from JK. In every aspect, AB is a part of JK,” argued Ansel’s father. “Furthermore, Kevin and you are close friends. So, both emotionally and logically, Kevin can take over as the manager of AB.”

“This is illogical,” Ansel protested loudly. “Here, the one who makes the decision should be me, not you.”

“I am your father.” Ansel’s father used a coercive argument. “And I am the head of the JK Corporation.”

“Even so, you have no right to interfere in my work. Especially when it comes to issues related to the AB company.”

“We won’t talk about it anymore. My decision has been made, and it’s best for you to follow it obediently,” Ansel’s father commanded with authority.

“Dad, I have to keep working. Our company is in a crucial development phase, and I can’t neglect it. I will find a way to treat my illness while continuing to work.” Ansel lowered the bowl, trying to persuade his father.

“You need to pay attention to your health. I know their company is important, but your health is even more important. You must pause your work to treat your illness until your condition improves,” Father Ansel replied sternly. And it was clear that he did not agree with or accept Ansel’s wishes.

The disagreement between father and son led to a tense argument. Both sides are now looking at each other with hostile eyes. Ansel’s mother, who was observing, couldn’t take it anymore and had to intervene.

“Enough. Can you two stop now?” The woman raised her voice: “Don’t look at each other with such hostility. I feel scared.”

The two men, one old and one young, finally stopped giving each other fierce glances.

“Ansel, please listen to your father. He only wants what’s best for you.” The woman pleaded with Ansel: “I don’t want our family to be in discord over something trivial. Ansel, your father is right; no matter what, Kavin is reliable. Nothing will happen. Please trust your father’s decision.”

Ansel felt pressured from all sides. He wanted to stand up and assert his rights. But when he saw his mother’s tears falling, Ansel couldn’t bear to make her sad. In the end, Ansel reluctantly agreed to follow his parents’ arrangement. However, Ansel still felt uncomfortable deep down.

“If that’s what my parents want, then do it.” Ansel sighed, reluctantly speaking. Ansel suddenly felt uneasy with Nika’s idea. Everything was going according to Nika’s plan. But Ansel couldn’t blame Nika since he had agreed to the plan. For now, he will listen to his parents. The only thing Ansel could do now was quickly find the person who wanted to sabotage AB’s company and harm him.
