Charlotte decided to return to the apartment after nearly an hour of unsuccessfully searching for Jarvey in the supermarket. She couldn’t remember when or how they had gotten separated. She briefly thought that maybe he was upset because she had been avoiding him, but she couldn’t find Jarvey when she arrived at the apartment.

“He wouldn't get that angry,” Charlotte muttered as she paced back and forth, searching every room for any sign of her boyfriend, but he was nowhere to be found.

“Did he leave for something urgent? But he left his phone, and it’s already too late,” she thought.

Charlotte sat on the sofa, sipping the tomato juice she had bought at the supermarket earlier. She considered calling Jarvey, but it seemed pointless. She had ignored several incoming calls on her phone, feeling too lazy to be contacted by anyone outside of work hours—especially if it was about work-related matters.

However, the constant ringing of her phone began to bother her, so she finally decided to

    Charlotte arrived in front of Arsila’s house... Yes, the address provided by the supermarket employee who contacted her earlier was Arsila Gistara’s address. Meanwhile, the woman helped by Jarvey was Karletta Hart.Charlotte pressed the doorbell, but there was no answer. She also knocked on the door quite hard, but again, there was no response.“Could they have already gone to bed?” Charlotte muttered, her head turning this way and that, searching for signs of Jarvey’s presence. She turned around, thinking that maybe Jarvey had already gone home and the people in this house might already be asleep.However, just as she took a few steps away, a voice stopped her, making her turn back toward the door.“You... what’s going on?” asked Keanu, the man she had accompanied to this rental house, who was now at his mother’s home.Charlotte approached, her face showing concern. “Is Jarvey here?”Keanu frowned. “Jarvey? Why would he be here?”“You're not lying, are you?”“Are you accusing me?”Ch

    Charlotte stared at her boyfriend, who looked disheveled and listless. She was reluctant to be approached, still very disappointed with what had happened.“I was set up,” Jarvey said.“That’s your only defense?” Charlotte asked sarcastically.“I’m serious, I was set up, I’m sorry for not being firm—““You're someone with a high profile, Jarvey, you're quite well-known, and you act like the person you're talking to doesn’t know you at all. Worse... that person is the sister of my friend!”“I didn’t know—”“STOP DEFENDING YOURSELF BY SAYING YOU DIDN’T KNOW! I’M NOT STUPID, JARVEY!” Charlotte shouted, her fierce voice trembling, prompting Havella and Druv to rush toward them.“YOU KNEW EVERYTHING! YOU KNEW ABOUT THEM, AND YOU’RE STILL DENYING IT BY SAYING ‘I DIDN’T KNOW.’ I’M NOT THAT STUPID, JARVEY!”Havella pulled Charlotte’s body toward her and hugged her. “What’s wrong now? It’s all over, isn’t it? Jarvey isn’t guilty, Dear,” she said, trying to calm her future daughter-in-law.Charl

    A 35-year-old man wearing a black shirt and round, clear-lensed glasses, his hair freshly dyed silver, strides confidently in black leather shoes, drawing everyone’s attention as he passes.Right beside him stands a woman much older than him, yet still very beautiful and equally stylish. Her figure is accentuated by a bright red dress and blood-red lipstick, and the scent of money lingers around them both.“Good morning, Miss Dhira,” the two receptionists greet the woman.Dhira Louise and Lucius arrived today at the Grand Baram Theater. The woman removes her glasses, smiling warmly as she familiarly links arms with Lucius. “Is the Director in his office now?”“Yes, Miss, we will contact him and let him know that you have arrived,” one of the receptionists replies while handing Dhira two access cards.“Thank you.” Dhira responds before taking her leave.All eyes are on Dhira, but no one dares to engage with her intensely. Instead, they offer small smiles and light greetings, which Dhir

    “Si-Sir, sorry, but—”“Alright, it seems you’re refusing. I won’t force you.” Lucius put on a disappointed expression, his arm automatically releasing Karletta’s waist, and he walked ahead, leaving her behind.They continued their journey to their destination, not speaking much, but Lucius still allowed Karletta to choose whatever she wanted.“Just one? I asked you to buy more,” Lucius said.Karletta shook her head. “Aren’t we friends? You can give me more gifts the next time we meet.”The corner of Lucius’s lips curled up, satisfied with the answer he got from his target. Karletta would grow closer to him, and Lucius would discover what he needed to know about what was happening between Jarvey and Charlotte.After paying, Lucius handed Karletta the black card, telling her that it would belong to her someday as payment for their friendship.“Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude by paying you to be my friend, but trust me... I don’t want you to think I don’t respect you. So, accept what I be

    Charlotte arrived in front of Ester's house and repeatedly pressed the doorbell. She paced back and forth, searching for another possible entrance. However, she couldn't find anyone, as the house appeared quiet from the outside.The woman didn't give up, still trying to press the bell multiple times, straining to hear any faint sounds. But this time, she was convinced that no one was at home. Finally, she decided to leave but did not surrender. She headed to Arsila's house, the only place she believed Karletta might be. Taking a rather long road, she accelerated to reach her destination faster.However, halfway there, she was somewhat surprised to see the person she was looking for, together with someone she knew. "Lucius? He's with Karletta?"Yes, the man most trusted by the Chandra family, who worked for Catherine and had recently spent more time with Liam, was now with Karletta. Charlotte didn't suspect anything negative but was convinced that Lucius had been assigned to some assig

    Charlotte stared at Keanu in disbelief, her eyes growing dim, everything turning monochromatic, and even Keanu's voice faded away. Minutes later, her body wavered and collapsed onto the floor, but Keanu did nothing.He was somewhat shocked, but instead of helping, he took a phone from Charlotte's small bag and sent a message to Catherine, asking her to pick up her daughter. Then, without a second thought, he left, not caring about what happened to Charlotte. He was done with her antics.The sound of Karletta's sobs from the previous night still echoed painfully in his mind, too intense to ignore, especially everything his sister had said about the insults Charlotte had hurled at her. Keanu was more convinced than ever that Catherine and Svarga had done something similar, leading to his father's death and his mother's imprisonment without any chance of parole.He stopped in front of the Baram Theater building to pick up Karletta, who was taking a test for her upcoming event.

    "I won't press charges for what your mother did to me, even though my lawyer could," Catherine said.Keanu remained silent until Catherine zipped up her dress again. "I came to your mother only to see Karletta. I think your sister is suffering psychologically, and I want to help her seek justice if she feels wronged.""My lawyer can help her file a report and sue Jarvey."Catherine's words stunned Keanu; he could hardly believe what she was talking about, but he saw no hint of dishonesty in her eyes.Catherine was very sincere; her words and expressions were natural as she spoke. It was as if every word flowed effortlessly."Keanu, I know who you are," Catherine finally said. "I know you're the son of my ex-husband; I know your mother and also Karletta's mother."Keanu frowned. "Karletta's mother.""Yes, Karletta's mother. She's not your biological sister, is she?" Catherine asked."Huh? Karletta is my sister; she calls my mother just like I do," Keanu said, growing more confused by C

    "Done!" Josh finished bandaging Charlotte's cut palm and exclaimed."First your leg, now your palm, what's next?"Charlotte gave a little sneer. "You should be wishing for the safety and health of your patients, Dr. Josh.""If everyone were healthy, then what would be a doctor's job?" Josh asked sceptically with a laugh, handing Charlotte a glass of unsweetened avocado juice."What happened? How did this happen? It seems like someone intentionally hurt you. Your mother left right after bringing you here," Josh asked.Charlotte sighed, eyes scanning the private clinic room as she tried to recall what had happened earlier. "I visited Keanu's house. He submitted his resignation unilaterally today. I was a little upset, but I also understood his reasons."Charlotte recounted some events from the past, such as Karletta and Jarvey, and how they were connected to Keanu's resignation. Josh was taken aback as if listening to a story repeating itself."I think I made a mistake, but I never expe

    After three days of being hospitalized, Keanu was allowed to go home. The doctor also provided several therapy schedules to ensure he received optimal care until his shoulder was fully healed.As for the house gifted to him, Charlotte and Jarvey gave Keanu a house in Les Halles and another to Karletta in Louvre so she could be closer to Glass Glory for her work.On Charlotte’s advice, Devon accepted Keanu as his business partner. He had known Keanu for a long time and recognized his integrity and outstanding intelligence.“My heart is pounding,” said Karletta as she helped Keanu button up his jacket.“Why?”“Tomorrow is my first day as a grade A trainee at Glass Glory. I thought Mrs. Catherine would put me in grade C with the other newcomers. I didn’t expect her to assess my performance and all the awards I’ve received,” Karletta said.“That means you’ll debut faster, right?” Keanu asked.“Exactly, which is why my heart is racing. But what makes it beat the fastest is… Mrs. Catherine

    Svarga visited Keanu after Easton mentioned that Keanu was awake and ready for visitors. Svarga's smile made Keanu lower his head, and he felt embarrassed in his presence."I thought you'd be asleep again," Svarga said. "How are you feeling now? Did Easton mess with your head after talking to him?"Keanu nodded. "A little. He almost confused me."Svarga didn't press further. "Charlotte and Jarvey will visit you this afternoon. They had to go to the police station to settle some matters from last night.""Will Emily be imprisoned?" Keanu asked, lifting his head slightly."With all the evidence you provided, it's inevitable. Emily and her family will face punishment in the Netherlands, not in this country," Svarga replied.Keanu sighed with relief. "I thought they might use their power to cover up their crimes.""It's not simple, son. You have given us a lot of information, much of which we don't even know. The evidence you presented shows there were many flaws they were trying to hide,

    Keanu slowly opened his eyes. He had just woken up after eight hours, his first time regaining consciousness since the operation. His gaze immediately shifted toward the window, where he saw Devon and Karletta talking with their arms crossed.Keanu smiled softly, straightening his body, which felt sore and painfully stiff. The sound of the creaking bed drew Devon and Karletta's attention toward him. They both rushed to his side, their faces beaming with relief because Keanu was finally awake."Hey," Karletta greeted as she wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.Devon adjusted the bed's headrest to a 45-degree angle to make Keanu more comfortable. "Should I call the doctor?""No need. I'm fine," Keanu replied. "I just want something to drink."Karletta quickly grabbed a water bottle and handed it to her older brother. "I've heard everything. How are you feeling now? I've been avoiding a lot of people outside asking about your condition. Thankfully, Mrs. Catherine has been watchi

    "HEY!" Jarvey shouted a bit loudly. "YOU'RE AWAKE?!""Annoying...." Keanu replied, then shifted his aching body. "Ah, this is such a hassle." The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at his shoulder wrapped in thick bandages.Charlotte stood tall, her eyes shining with tears streaming down her face. She pressed the emergency button, and shortly after, a doctor and a nurse entered the room."KEANU IS AWAKE!" Charlotte shouted excitedly, then she and Jarvey were asked to leave the room at the doctor’s request.Outside, Catherine, observing them all along, smiled with satisfaction, relieved that Keanu had finally opened his eyes after hours of sleeping post-surgery."Mama, you were right! Keanu is so strong. Look, he's awake now!" Charlotte exclaimed.Catherine hugged Charlotte back, tears in her eyes, too, eager for the doctor to let them see Keanu.After 15 minutes of examination, the doctor permitted them to enter but on the condition that they be quiet, as the effects of the anesthe

    Emily and her parents were taken into custody by the police, and their case will be forwarded to a Dutch court. Today, they are being held in detention and waiting to be collected. They have been stripped out of these clothes and put into detention uniforms, each in an isolated cell — comparatively more comfortable than those where other detainees are lodged.Lucius instructed some colleagues to stand guard until the Dutch legal team arrived for mediation. "I have to go and check on the other guests. Some people being questioned have confessed that they were paid by Emily to support their engagement event and to prepare the plans they had in place if the event had gone successfully."Lucius then said they were all still planning on setting Noah up to ruin his career as well, and he wanted Lucius there in case something went south with being able to pin a significant failing of Noah's that goes right back around through him onto Emily’s parents.“Liam, you take him, and the rest of us

    Everyone screamed hysterically, including Charlotte, who instinctively shouted and hugged the person protecting her."KEANU!" Charlotte's voice trembled violently, one hand pressed against the blood gushing from Keanu's shoulder.Charlotte cried almost hysterically, calling out for anyone who would help. People rushed over to her; some hurriedly called for an ambulance while Lucius moved Keanu's body to a chair, using the thick fabric of his coat to cover the bleeding.The Chandra family guards restrained Emily, preventing her from escaping, and blocked access to ensure none of her accomplices could flee. About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and Keanu was quickly rushed to the hospital.Charlotte, overwhelmed with emotion, held back sobs as she glared at Emily, her blood-stained hand pointing at her without saying a word, making Emily utterly terrified.Charlotte's gaze then shifted to Emily's parents, filled with an unbearable grudge, before she spoke, "I will make your da

    Emily was terrified, and so were her parents. The couple accompanying Emily knelt before Catherine, begging for forgiveness like sinners fearing the gates of hell. Their actions, however, only raised questions among everyone present—what were they hiding that caused them to be so afraid?But Emily's reaction was different. She refused to beg Catherine for mercy like her parents had done. "You think you can do anything to me? I’m already engaged to Jarvey. Now ask my fiancé whom he will choose."Jarvey pulled Charlotte close, holding her hand tightly and showing everyone his answer. His actions naturally stoked Emily's fury even more."Fine, you're challenging me, huh? Then I’ll make your parents pay for everything!" Emily screamed in frustration. She grabbed Havella by the hair and dragged her away, prompting Noah to rush after his wife.Emily’s actions shocked many, including the media crew that Catherine had allowed to cover Emily’s event.The onlookers were horrified as they watche

    All eyes were on the figure in the red dress, flaunting her beautiful curves. She wore matching red gloves that only covered her palms, and a black fascinator adorned her straight, flowing hair. Charlotte embodied the definition of luxurious beauty in the eyes of the wealthy elite. She smiled kindly at those who recognized her, while some deliberately hid, not wanting to be labelled as traitors for attending and supporting Jarvey’s wedding to another woman."Miss Charlotte, it's a pleasure to meet you," a man greeted her. He was the event moderator and a businessman whose company had Svarga as an investor."Hi, Karlos. Nice to see you, too. I guess you successfully united the couple today. Where are they?" Charlotte asked, her eyes scanning for Jarvey and Emily.Karlos didn’t answer. Sweat dripped down his body, his face pale. Soon after, Jarvey came running down from the second floor, tears streaming down his face upon seeing Charlotte. He rushed toward her and embraced her tightly.

    Charlotte stood in front of the mirror, spending hours in this boutique, clearly excited despite her incredibly chaotic emotions. She could remain calm because Keanu and Devon were with her, offering comfort without hesitation.“Hey?” Devon greeted her as he entered the dressing room after the boutique staff called for him, allowing him to see Charlotte.For a moment, Devon was stunned by seeing the woman in a knee-length red dress. Charlotte had purposely chosen a bolder colour as a symbol of defiance against her heartbreak.“Devon, what do you think? Is my appearance enough? Do I look beautiful? I feel like the stitching around the waist makes me look a bit thinner,” Charlotte rambled.Devon exhaled and shook his head, feeling satisfied with Charlotte’s appearance. The undeniable aura of wealth radiated from her; Charlotte always looked luxurious in whatever she wore.“You’re beautiful,” Devon said, a simple sentence that never seemed to satisfy Charlotte.“Ah, I’m not sure.”“You’r
