The Billionaire's Contracted Wife [English]

"What do you mean I can’t be released!? And why should I wait if the judge will agree for a bail?! I can’t understand my case!" President Hanada furiously questioned his lawyer and assistant.

The lawyer of the THJ group described in detail to President Hanada as to why. Before he bid his farewell, he had to arrange the bail of President Hanada so that he wouldn’t spend the night in prison.

Meanwhile, Tanaga chatted with his childhood friend and college classmate, who was the chief police officer of the said precinct.

"Hahaha! So, you mean you guys were forced to detain my uncle because he kicked President Takashi? Hahaha! What a turn of events. So, what do you plan on doing?" Tanaga asked his friend.

"What else? I’m going to have him spend the night at the cell so that your uncle’s arrogance can be chipped away. Hahaha!" replied his friend.

"Bro! Can you not? This may damage our reputation if the media were to find out what happened to my great uncle. Another thing is that my grandma might scold me. Just let him stay for a few hours, but before the sunrise, release him," Tanaga pleaded to his friend.

His friend thought deeply before he responded, "Sure, for you we will drop the case. But he should be given a lecture on his attitude, you know. It’s not right to hurt your underling. Warn him for me, because the next time this thing happens, I won’t let it slide," Tanaga’s friend warned him before they ended the call.

Ashley was leaning on Tanaga’s chest while he and his friend were chatting, so she heard what they were talking about. She stood up and fixed her position before asking her husband, "Tan, what is that I heard about President Hanada going to jail? Is it true?" Ashley asked with curiosity in her eyes. She was worried about the old man.

When Tanaga saw the worried face of her wife for his uncle, he decided to tell her what happened.

"Love, don’t worry, okay? Here’s what happened... I know that that snake President Takashi would call my uncle. So, I decided to talk to my friend, who is the chief of the police there in Houston, and I asked him to help me scare my uncle. We were supposed to scare him only, and we have no intention of letting him spend the night in prison.

Anyway, that’s it... we cooperated so that when my uncle arrived, my friend would send a trusting officer to pretend to have brought him and his companions to the station for questioning. How would I know that he’d kick Takashi in front of the police officer who arrested them?

So – what happened was – since Takashi wouldn’t file a case against my uncle, the people of America had their government file the charges against him. So, he will be detained until he can get a bailout. That was the only time he could be released since he would need to face a judge to decide whether he can be given bail or not.

Well, I don’t want to be scolded by Grandma Hanada, and he was still part of my family. And if this got leaked on social media, we might face some damage to our reputation. So, I pleaded to my friend to drop the case and release him before sunrise."

"Is that so? It’s good you decided to help your uncle since that’s what I am thinking about. Grandma Hanada probably wouldn’t be able to accept hearing her son got jailed, and she might even faint," Ashley said while feeling a bit sleepy.

"All right! You should forget about them. Nothing terrible will happen to them. It’s just a small prank from Hoshi Mikito and me to scare my uncle. Just go back to sleep for now, all right? When you wake up, we will be in the Philippines already, and you will be with your siblings," Tanaga replied while slowly forcing Ashley back to his chest to lean and sleep.

Ashley wasted no time and followed her husband. She leaned her head to his chest and closed her eyes...

"Love, Love" *Tsup tsup* Tanaga kissed his wife’s forehead while waking her up. He wanted to fasten her seatbelt, as the plane was about to land.

"Huh? We’re here? Really!" Ashley excitedly fixed her seating position so that Tanaga could fasten her seatbelt. After that, he secured his seatbelt.

A few moments later, Ashley could hear that the plane was already preparing to land. It landed without any problem. "Hahaha! We’re here! Thank you, my husband!" Ashley passionately hugged her husband, even though she was still wearing the seatbelt.

Tiny, Sato, and Arthur were seated on the opposite side of the private jet, and they heard the excited voice of Ashley. Arthur smiled for his little sister. Tiny, on the other hand, was shaking his head.

Sato was the fastest and loudest person to speak. "Madam! Is it necessary to show your obvious excitement?!" he yelled so that the couple could hear him.

Ashley, still very excited, yelled back, "Hey! You damn gay! Why don’t you try standing in my shoes! Let’s see if you won’t be excited like me! Hahaha!"

When Arthur heard the banter and what Ashley called Sato, he suddenly glanced at Sato then Tiny. Arthur shook his head first, before deciding to ask Sato.

"Is what my little sister said true? You’re gay?" He widened his eyes while waiting for Sato to answer. But he didn’t answer; instead, he averted his gaze towards the window. Arthur shifted his eyes to Tiny.

"Tiny, you know?" That was his only question. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Tiny nodded and simply smiled. After that, he removed the seatbelt to check the outside, when the plane door was to open.

"Gay? Wow! You’re a waste dude! You’re so handsome. I could have introduced plenty of my cousins to you. Why did you become gay... such a shame," Arthur whispered to himself, which was heard by Sato.

Arthur was surprised that Sato answered with a raised brow.

"Why? Are all your cousins’ girls? You can also introduce me to your male cousins, you know. You said it yourself I’m handsome. If I fix myself as a girl... hmmm, they will have no fighting chance against me!" Sato boasted to Arthur while smiling, since Arthur was all right with this, even though he was gay.

"Aye, never mind! It’s up to you to find your own man! You can even involve me in your rainbow-filled journey! My cousins might think I’m going the other way. I don’t want to die in my father’s hands, you know!" Arthur joked to Sato as a warning.
