“How did this happen?” muttered Tiara in a trembling tone. She repeatedly squeezed her hands together and her eyes were no longer focused on the trial. “Why did that man enter the courtroom?”

Hendry, who knew that Tiara was panic-stricken, tried to calm her down. If Tiara's anxiety was seen, it would definitely be taken advantage of by Helena's side. He immediately tapped her shoulder, making her turn her head. “Calm down,” Hendry said.

Tiara immediately realized her mistake. She tried to quickly normalize her shock. “You're right.” She immediately grabbed the mineral bottle in front of her. She gulped down half of it and refocused herself on the proceedings.

Sean's problem would be taken care of soon, but right now he had to follow the trial properly and listen to all the nonsense Helena had to say in front of the judge. He must not miss a single thing.

Sean's presence in the courtroom was a blow to Tiara. All this time, the man's whereabouts had been an enigma, and now he stood befo

    “What a trial this was,” Albert said with a satisfied tone. This was immediately met with words of approval from his team. Helena, who was walking beside Albert, chuckled.“You're right. I also feel the same way as you, Mr. Albert. And thank you, you did your best for the trial this time.”Albert shook off his hand but the blush on the man's face could not be hidden. A hue of pride and a feeling of being relied upon by Helena, his important client. Albert was used to handling the Edison family's various legal matters, especially those related to contracts. But to handle the case that Helena was experiencing, was the first time in the Edison family. That's what made him feel he had to work as hard as possible to win this case.“You're overreacting, Miss Helena,” Albert said. “But I think this trial will take a long time.”“No problem. As long as I get the result, Tiara ends up in prison. Separated from her son so that he can feel what I feel.”Albert nodded immediately. “I'll try my be

    “We'd better avoid the crowd of reporters, Miss Tiara,” Hendry advised. Before they walked down the connecting corridor to the area where their cars were parked. There were already a lot of journalists waiting there so that they could find bits of information that could be immediately disseminated to the online media.Even the results of the trial, which have not yet been confirmed, have been spread everywhere. The public response also continued to speculate about whether Tiara Jacob had actually masterminded Helena's accident. Tiara was reluctant to open her cell phone because the first news that appeared on the main search page was her case.“Is there a shortcut that doesn't have to go through them?” asked Tiara with great reluctance. “Huh... I'm like someone who's already been named a suspect.”Hendry didn't know how to respond other than to keep his smile and start thinking about which way to go so they wouldn't run into reporters.“Do you mind if we detour a little?” asked Hendry

    “Damn it,” muttered Tiara who couldn't contain the annoyance and disappointment in her heart. Oh, her annoyance was nothing compared to all the disappointment and heartbreak Tiara had just felt. She didn't expect her husband to say that to her. In fact, Tiara had expected this to happen but didn't expect it to be so soon.“Arslan is an asshole,” she cursed under her breath. She tried to stay on her feet even though she was staggering a bit. The series of events today made her feel dizzy.After Arslan left her, Tiara stood in the corner of the room. Her body felt weak as if it was powerless to support the burden of her emotions. Everything that happened in her life with Arslan, one after another, flashed in her mind. Starting from the beginning of the introduction to the point where Tiara felt she had Arslan completely.How Tiara was very happy when Arslan removed the only barrier in her love life. They ended up happily at the wedding altar despite a little incident. But it seemed, sin

    “Ma'am, would you like something to eat?” asked one of the waiters who looked worried because the owner of the house-Tiara Jacob-had been in a very bad mood for the past few days. She often skipped her meals. Only spending time in the study for hours on end, then with Andy never for long either.Tiara's face also looked depressed as if what had happened to her had really frustrated her.“I don't know, I want to get some fresh air.” It seemed like Tiara really needed a different atmosphere from her home.While at home, most of her activities were monitoring social media, which was suddenly filled with her name. At first, there were only a few stories about Tiara Jacob's life, but as time went on, the news pressured Tiara more and more, especially in relation to her case.The news of Tiara Jacob's alleged role as the main perpetrator of Helena's accident continued to make headlines in various media outlets. The news seemed to be relentless, attacking every aspect of Tiara's life. From t

    “I don't know why I'm tense about this second trial,” Wilna said as she rubbed her hands together. Her eyes had been looking around the courtroom where many people had arrived-most of them journalists. Apart from the paid journalists Thomas had recruited, some also came from different media circles.It didn't matter, the more the media covered, the more interesting it would be, right? Especially if they published the latest photo of Tiara Jacob who was scared because of what was going to happen in this trial? Wilna became impatient even though she didn't know what was going to happen, but her feelings told her that something exciting was going to happen.“I feel the same way as you,” Helena said with a bright smile. Entering the courtroom area that was packed with people, and most of their eyes were fixed on one point-Tiara Jacob, and waiting for what would happen during the trial made her feel happy.Helena was sure Tiara felt the same way. The difference was that she welcomed the fe

    “What the hell is all this?” Tiara asked herself. She felt like every eye in the courtroom was looking at her. With a sharp gaze, full of judgment, also feels piercing and as if she is a very disgusting person.“Hendry,” Tiara called in a half-whisper.The voice made Hendry turn his head. The woman beside him really didn't look okay. “You... alright?”Tiara rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Do I look like that?”Hendry sighed softly. “I didn't prepare for something like this, Miss Tiara. We have to see this trial through to the end and listen to what Rudi has to say. What Sean said earlier, there were a lot of notes from the public prosecutor. And the judge seems to match a lot with the evidence given,” she whispered softly while massaging her temples tiredly.“If things are like this, what should I do, Hendry?”Giving advice at a time like this would not do. Hendry's head was also full of many things related to this case. Including what Rudi would say in front of the judge. If you lo

    At home, Tiara doesn't watch the news at all. Even her servants are not allowed to access the latest news. Tiara was terrified of the news on any social media homepage.News about Tiara Jacob's alleged involvement in Helena Edison's tragic accident filled every media channel. It was not only a hot topic, but also the subject of wild speculation. Journalists deliberately added confusing information, making the situation even murkier. Headlines like "Jacob Group's Daughter Stumbles into Fatal Case? ‘ or ’Tiara Jacob's Dark Secret Begins to Reveal ” became public consumption that heated up discussions on various social media.“What else are they writing about me?!” Tiara shouted, pounding on the large wooden table in her office. Trembling hands held a tablet displaying the latest article about her. Tiara's eyes scanned the comment section, which was filled with blasphemy.She had avoided looking at what was written on social media. But why is it that when she has to finish her work, the

    That morning, the courthouse was packed. Reporters crowded in front of the entrance, carrying cameras and microphones, ready to capture every moment that happened inside and outside the court. Tiara Jacob's name had now become a magnet for public attention, and this latest hearing was the culmination of a long drama that had captured everyone's attention.A black car with tinted glass pulled up in front of the courthouse. Tiara stepped out with a pale face, wearing large sunglasses to cover her puffy eyes. A tight escort of security guards surrounded her, trying to prevent the reporters who kept pressing closer.“Are there that many of them now?” asked Tiara with a look of disbelief.The crowd of journalists who immediately swarmed her made her feel attacked from all directions. Hendry immediately asked for help from the court's security guards so that no one would disturb Tiara. But still, as soon as Tiara got out of the car almost everyone pointed their cameras and microphones at he

    Not only Angga, but the girl in front of him was staring in disbelief at the figure who had suddenly appeared around them.“You ... who are you?” asked the girl with an unkind look. ”Don't you mind our time.”Gadis smiled cynically. “Is that true?” The gaze that never left Angga's figure was slightly distracted to stare at the girl who had just spoken from such a close distance. “Am I a bother, Mr. Angga?” asked Gadis in a casual tone of voice.She didn't need to use her high tone because she was already emotional and disappointed. A flat tone was enough, but seriously, Gadis wasn't going to intimidate them both. Especially the man who seemed to be growling while holding back his annoyance.“Who is he? Do you know her?”“Are you in Bandung? What are you doing here?“ Angga ignored the question of the girl he was dating today. Her name was Sheila, a colleague at the hospital whom

    The amazing girl was happy. Her smile wouldn't leave her face and her eyes were shining with happiness. For almost five hours she posed in front of the camera, not to mention changing her clothes several times and matching which part of the corner was the right one for shooting. And there was still more she had to do at the official Velue Jewelry outlet in Bandung.Maybe it's because of her determination to get rid of the problems that are still entangling her, and she refrains from telling her two friends. It's not that she doesn't want to, but for the past two days Gadis has been coming home late. The job that King gave her doesn't give her any breaks at all. But she feels grateful because she's busy. So her thoughts were not always about Angga's words and what she should do about their relationship.Gadis didn't even think about Leo's words. Gadis's main goal this time was to finish the job that she had already taken the risk of doing well. She also examined one by

    Did the annoying continuation of the conversation between Angga and Gadis happen? No.Gadis' condition did not allow her to continue all the words that were on the tip of her tongue. All the swearing seemed to be able to come out because of the frustration and tightness she felt. What Angga said was outrageous. All the things that had happened to her in the past were spinning around in her head.Making Gadis lose concentration. Repeatedly her name was called to follow directions that they thought were easy, but today Gadis seemed to have lost control. Unfortunately, all of that could not be expressed because of the circumstances. There was a part of Gadis that kept reminding her strongly, looking at the condition Gadis was in at the moment.That bastard of a boyfriend of hers. He could cause her mood to fall apart.“I'm sorry, Ms. Ransi,” said Gadis, looking down dejectedly. She didn't know how many times she had apologized, but gadis was not

    “Where have you been, Dis?” asked Manda, who greeted Gadis's arrival with surprise. Both she and Lily had been waiting for Gadis to return. It wasn't a problem with the message that Gadis had sent saying that she would be home late, but ... this was out of the ordinary for Gadis. Was it because of her side job that Gadis was coming home late.“Eh, who gave you a drop off?” Lily still hadn't taken her eyes off the HRV car that had just passed right in front of the gate, making her curious. "Mr. Foreigner, huh?" she teased immediately.“Oh, we're full now.” Manda laughed. ”What's in here?”“When you're full, you don't need to ask what's in it,” said Gadis as she continued to climb the stairs. As soon as she got out of the car, she felt so tired. The only thing she wanted to do right away was to clean up and change her clothes. Then curl up in a blanket and fall asleep with sweet dreams.But unfortunately, it was not easy for her to get it considering that Manda and Lily were still aroun

    “You're really annoying, Jungle King!” Gadis couldn't do anything but fasten her seat belt properly. Even though her head felt like it was going to explode, her eyes were already flashing an extraordinarily high level of dislike. Not to mention, the deepest desire in her was for the fist she had to be able to nestle into King's face as he stared at her carefree.Even pouting!The man sitting next to Gadis was a crazy man!“How annoying is it?” King folded his arms across his chest. ‘I'm billing you for my work, you know. Besides, you should be grateful, you don't have much work today. Compared to the others? You could finish at ten o'clock at night. Are you working or being worked on?’ King laughed.“Son of a bitch!”“Well, it's been a long time since I heard you swear so rudely. I thought your mouth had repented, but apparently not yet.”King is the patient tester that God gave him in his life.“Be careful driving, okay. I love my car even though I paid it off.

    “Wow, the famous model candidate has finally returned to the cage,“ joked Afandi with a wink as he saw Gadis entering his work area. The one who was being teased just pouted as she pulled up her work chair. She sat back comfortably while taking a long sigh and unwinding her hair.“I'm really fed up with this dual job,” complained Gadis but then laughed.“You should be grateful because your income has doubled,” teased Panji, who had just arrived with a cup of coffee. ”Eh, do you want me to make you an iced cappuccino?”Gadis didn't immediately agree. Panji, Afandi, and Hary, when they offered help, there was always something they wanted. Gadis didn't want to get into more trouble than just asking for someone's private phone number.“How much do I need to pay?” asked Gadis with suspiciously narrowed eyes.Panji was clearly laughing hard. ”You're really sensitive about this kind of thing, Dis.”“Brother Panji, the price list is written on your forehead.”This time, the uproarious laughte

    “What are you doing, Dis?” asked Manda with great curiosity. This evening, they were eating for free. Apart from the many side dishes brought by her mother, Gadis, her friend kindly wanted to stay busy in the kitchen even though she had just returned from work. She also said that she was not too tired because she was being driven by a colleague from the office.Of course Manda and Lily were curious even though their hearts were happy because the money for this dinner could be used for other things.“Create a status,” replied Gadis briefly. Her mouth was still chewing the rice she had just cooked, complete with spicy basil chicken. ”To make the burning souls even hotter.”Manda's forehead wrinkled. “I didn't see the status you made, Dis. Where is it? I'm curious,” Manda quipped, now busy looking at her cellphone. There wasn't a trace of dinner left on her plate. Besides being delicious, it was also free. When else w

    Gadis stopped dead in her tracks. Reflexively, she held back King, who was walking alongside her, to stop.“Why?” King asked with an annoyed look. ‘They said they wanted to buy pudding. That's it,’ King pointed without feeling strange at all. ”That counter, right?”“Um... can you make a different route?”King stared at Gadis in surprise. “We can't. Why would we go around when we can go straight?” But then, King chose to tease Gadis who never stopped talking. “Or do you still want to be alone with me?”“Don't be crazy, okay.” Gadis chose to turn around. Even so, her eyes returned to the same point; the point that made her decide to cancel the event of buying her favorite pudding at the corner of the mall not far from where she was standing now.Even though during lunch with King it was not enjoyable at all; because this man really tests a girl's patience, there is so

    “Your schedule is also busy, huh,” King said as Gadis sat not far from his desk. He deliberately called the girl for a follow-up discussion. No, King had no intention of raising the flag of war this early.For him, this Monday felt special. At least he went to the office with a sense of enthusiasm even though he had to struggle with Jakarta's traffic jams again. Why is that? Because today is payday. Yoo-hoo ... the salary that will be deposited in his account this afternoon is what King has been waiting for all month. Apart from wanting to make sure that the bonus in his account is correct, there is something he wants to buy right away.“Well, that's how it is,” said Gadis, sighing softly.“Are you unusually not excited? Why? Are you giving up because of your busy schedule?” asked King, giggling. He also held out a planner that he had just made at home related to the division of work in his work division. He had even adjusted it to fit Gadis' schedule. Some of his other subordinates t
