Because he couldn't wait to hear his employee's explanation, Bhuvi gave a signal to open the gate. With bold steps, Bhuvi walked towards the crowd. Three sturdy men followed him.As Bhuvi was about to arrive, one of Glara's maids ran, calling his name. "Mr. Bhuvi! Mr. Bhuvi! Mrs. Glara, Mr. Bhuvi!" Hearing Glara's name, Bhuvi immediately turned back and returned to his house.The man ran with long strides, even stepping on two stairs at once to quickly get inside. From inside the house, Bhuvi heard the cries calling his name."Hey!" Bhuvi shouted, looking at the man standing behind him.Bhuvi scanned the room; he looked at the corner and saw the maid and his two children tied to chairs.The man in front of him turned around, looking at Bhuvi with sharp eyes and a face covered by a black buff. "Hahaha! The late hero!" he said, laughing loudly. "How does it feel to get your leftovers?" he said while playing with the tip of a knife on Glara's face, who was tied to a chair with tears stre
Tommy and Boy quickly captured Damian, tied him up, and took him outside the house, intending to bring him to the police station. Meanwhile, Bhuvi freed Glara and they moved to release the other hostages.Gama was already crying in Bhuvi's embrace, while Erina stayed with Glara. Other workers hugged each other in fear of the earlier events."Sir, forgive us, we were negligent in guarding...""How could this happen?" Bhuvi asked the guard who was now bowing in fear."We had no idea he was among us, sir. He disguised himself as one of us, and..." Their explanation was cut short as Bhuvi raised his hand, indicating he didn't want to hear more."Dad! Gama doesn't want to stay here! Gama is scared!" Gama exclaimed fearfully, tears still streaming down.Glara comforted Gama and Erina. "It's okay. Oboy and Uncle Tommy have caught him. Everything is safe now.""No! Gama doesn't want to stay! Gama wants to go with dad!" Gama shouted, moving away from Glara. "Gama doesn't want to! Gama wants to
"I'm still figuring out who's funding Damian. Don't worry, I'll catch them soon, right down to the roots," Bhuvi tried to reassure Glara with a calm expression."I trust you'll do your best for us, but please take care of yourself too. I... I don't want to lose again," Glara said, touching Bhuvi's hand on her shoulder.Bhuvi smiled, gently massaging Glara's back of the hand, and said, "I'll be fine."Bhuvi gave Glara a brief hug. "I'm off now," Bhuvi said as she released the embrace.After bidding farewell to Glara, Bhuvi quickly got into her car. Unlike usual, this time Bhuvi left without an escort; she only requested two people to drive her car.On the way, Bhuvi seemed to be checking her phone, reviewing all the reports provided by Tommy before his accident.Meanwhile, Martha remained secluded in her room due to her father's sudden departure. Martha even disregarded her growing pregnancy, let alone company matters.Until her phone rang loudly, Martha lazily picked up her phone. She
"Release Mrs. Glara or this bullet will lodge in your head!" threatened a sturdy man standing right behind Damian."Haha, do you think I'm scared? Not at all!"The man chuckled, his fingers pulling the trigger, and in seconds, the bullet could genuinely pierce Damian's head. "Do you think I'm joking? I'll give you five seconds to save your own life," the man said unfazed, keeping the gun pointed at Damian's head."This time, you're lucky!" Damian exclaimed, releasing Glara and running into the pickup truck, quickly driving away.Glara sighed in relief, turning to look at the man who was putting away his phone. "I'm sorry I was late to save you.""Are you under Bhuvi's protection?" the man nodded."Introduce yourself, ma'am. I'm Leo. I'm Tommy's colleague and also Mr. Bhuvi's subordinate."Glara nodded, knowing who Tommy was and how he worked for Bhuvi. "Did you come here to visit Bhuvi?"Leo nodded again. "Also to report the results of my investigation at the crime scene."Glara invit
"Calm down, don't panic. Let's check the CCTV first." Bhuvi patted the chair beside her and turned on the television screen. Glara appeared obedient; she then sat next to Bhuvi with a panicked and worried expression. Bhuvi started playing the CCTV recordings from earlier in the day until night. "Is Tasha taking the kids?" Glara asked incredulously as she watched the monitor. "Isn't she looking fine?" Glara continued, trying to reach for her phone. "Sir and ma'am, sorry I'm late. I just finished tidying up the back mansion. Earlier, Tasha's nurse asked me to tell you that Tasha took Gama and Erina to Mrs. Lana's place because since Mrs. left, Gama has been crying and asking to meet you," a middle-aged woman in a maid uniform said. Unconsciously, Glara and Bhuvi sighed in relief simultaneously. "Thank you, we'll follow there." "Yes, ma'am. Earlier, Miss Tasha tried to contact you, but your phone was not active." Glara hurriedly took her phone from her bag, patting her forehead care
Now Martha is sitting across from Glara, closely monitored by guards led directly by Leo. Glara looks friendly as she gazes at Martha, unlike the latter who appears to bow her head in shame. "Has it been revealed who hacked the company's data?" Glara opens their conversation.Martha shakes her head. "Almost all of my employees have left, and there's a strike. I no longer have the strength. That's why I contacted Mrs. Glara to...""To buy company shares? Or to buy the company itself?" Martha looks up at Glara in confusion and embarrassment. "Martha, do you know that the Damian treated in the hospital is fake?" Glara asks, making Martha furrow her brow in confusion."How is that possible? I mean, didn't he have an accident? The police themselves said so."Glara nods and shows a photo as evidence when she was held hostage in her private house some time ago. "He's still out there. He's creating a new drama."Martha sighs heavily and says, "Is this his doing? Because he's hurt that I divor
"I think he has no reason to refuse, Bhuvi. It's better to fix it rather than change ownership, which may not be better than before, right?""You're not planning to buy it?"Glara paused for a moment, looking thoughtful. "It doesn't feel right to take something that's not mine.""But aren't you buying it, not taking it?" Bhuvi asked, looking at Glara.Glara took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I am buying it, but still, the company is not mine. I didn't found it, and I didn't make it grow. If I take it, it's like taking the only legacy from Martha's father, right?"Bhuvi nodded and continued with her breakfast. They enjoyed their meal peacefully, occasionally listening to Gama and Erina's chatter about their dreams from the night before.After breakfast, they headed to the car and rushed to Gama and Erina's school. After a 20-minute drive, Bhuvi's car stopped in front of the new school's parking lot."Study well," Glara advised her two children."Got it, Mom!" Gama and Erina replied, sa
"Selling this company," Martha said with a sad look."There's no need to go as far as selling it, Mrs. Martha.""Yeah, I don't think we should sell it or even auction it off. Let's think about a way out together." The woman's statement was met with nods and agreement from other meeting participants, making the rude woman lose her voice and support. "According to Mrs. Glara, what should this company do?""In my opinion, Mrs. Martha's company is still valuable and good. However, the security and operational systems are not well-organized. Also, we, who invested here, need to realize that this company has just emerged from a coma, and we need time to restore it to normal operation."The guests debated whether the company should be sold or continue operating with renovations. "I think the decision still lies with Mrs. Martha. We can only give advice, and whatever decision Mrs. Martha makes, we will suppo
"You look so beautiful," Lana praised Glara, smiling uncontrollably as she gazed at her. "You're truly a queen today." Glara blushed even more upon hearing Lana's compliment."Oh, Auntie, you're too much. You're making me blush," Glara said, lowering her head."Before heading down, may we take some pictures for the portfolio?" one of the makeup artists asked for permission from Glara and Lana.Glara nodded and followed the makeup artist's instructions to strike some poses near the villa's window. "Thank you," the makeup artist said after taking pictures of Glara from various angles."I also thank you for transforming me like this," Glara replied with a sweet smile.After the makeup artist finished tidying up her belongings and excused herself, Lana sat beside Glara. "Glara, thank you for accepting Bhuvi. I hope you both have a family filled with happiness and blessings."Touched by Lana's words, Glara replied, "Auntie, it's actually me who should thank Bhuvi and his extended family. T
"The police only asked for assistance to convey the request for a promise, Sir."Bhuvi nodded. "Oh yes, tomorrow morning before heading to my villa, I'll go there. Glara, do you want to come?" Bhuvi asked Glara, who was staring at him.Glara remained silent for a moment, then said, "Yes," nodding her head.Bhuvi smiled upon hearing Glara's answer. He gently stroked Glara's head. "Uncle Leo, let's play again. Uncle Leo on guard, me and Erina hiding!" Gama shouted while standing near Leo.Leo seemed hesitant, but eventually nodded after getting approval from Bhuvi. Now, Gama, Erina, Leo, and Boy were present, while Tasha was assigned to handle the preparations for Glara's wedding at the villa where her project was built, with Tiffany as the event organizer.Glara took a deep breath, her face beaming with happiness, her eyes teary as she looked at Gama's laughter, so carefree and happy. "Grandpa, I have found my happiness," Glara thought, looking straight at her children.∞As Bhuvi had
"I want to invite Tiffany to work in the company. I know she has sufficient abilities, and after we get married, I want to limit my work, so I think I need Tiffany to help handle it. What do you think?"Bhuvi paused for a moment, appearing to think. "Let's discuss it with her later." Glara smiled happily at Bhuvi's supportive response.The car fell silent again until it arrived at Glara's office. Upon arrival, Glara and Bhuvi hurried to the meeting room. Several board members were already waiting for them, and Glara immediately started the meeting discussing the postponed product material discovery."Sorry for keeping you waiting," Glara said, bowing. "Firstly, thank you for your presence. Next, I will explain the results of the research I found during the investigation. Some materials we used for this product are now banned, and some are outdated. Yesterday, I, along with the laboratory staff, conducted experiments on some possible materials to use. And here are the results..."Every
Everyone in the courtroom turned their attention to the woman entering, their eyes filled with curiosity. "Tiffany?" Glara whispered upon seeing the young woman standing among the crowd."Who is this person? And which party does she represent?" the judge asked Damian and Robert's attorneys."I am Tiffany Magdalena, the daughter of Daniel Woody. A politician who died in prison due to unfounded accusations."The judge allowed the young woman to step forward and take the oath. After swearing, the judge and the prosecuting attorney began to interrogate her."So, what do you know, or what would you like to convey?" he asked Tiffany, who stood in front of the microphone, looking directly at the judge.Tiffany took a deep breath, looking at Damian and Robert alternately. "Robertinus Woody. Do you remember me? I am one of the victims of your greed for wealth. Five years ago, you made me
"Erina will do it," Bhuvi's brief answer made Glara and Darel furrow their brows in confusion. "Erina once said she wanted to become a lawyer and clear her mother's name. That's one of my goals in adopting Erina."Darel nodded. "Hopefully, there is still time to reopen that case." Bhuvi nodded. "Oh, by the way, when are you two getting married? The engagement has already happened."Glara choked on her own saliva, while Bhuvi just looked at Darel calmly. "After all the issues are resolved, I will prepare for it. What about you, Glara?" Bhuvi asked, looking at Glara, who was still trying to hide her embarrassed expression."Um, I'll just go along," Glara replied briefly, still in her position."I'll help with the preparations. Don't hesitate to let me know what I can assist with," Darel offered with a happy smile that continued to light up his face. Bhuvi and Glara nodded in response to Darel's offer.They went back to their respective activities. Bhuvi and Darel resumed painting with G
"Damian has revealed who ordered and financed his actions.” Glara's brown eyes widened perfectly upon hearing Bhuvi's words."How is that possible?"Bhuvi smiled faintly. "Maybe he realized that what he did was wrong.""What about his punishment?" Glara asked, still looking seriously at Bhuvi.Bhuvi shook his head. "The chance of complete freedom is small. But to lighten the punishment, it's possible. Whatever it is, the most important thing now is that he has made the right decision."Glara nodded. "After the verdict hearing. Whether he is free or not, he requested to meet his daughter Martha."Glara frowned at Bhuvi's words. "A few days ago, Leo and I visited him. And we offered a collaboration. Anyway, Damian is the key witness to that man's crimes, and only Damian can bring it to legal proceedings.""And then?"
"Maybe you can go free or get a lighter sentence," replied the calm investigative team with sharp eyes. "So, is there really someone behind you?"Damian fell silent, unable to answer the man's statement. It was unclear what made Damian struggle to speak the truth. "Can I contact someone?""Oh, you're just wasting time.""Just 10 minutes. After that, I'll tell the truth," Damian said, trying to persuade the investigator. Finally, the man handed him his phone, and Damian quickly dialed the numbers on the investigator's phone screen and pressed it to his ear.The ringing tone echoed, but Damian didn't get an answer. Damian didn't give up; he continued dialing the number several times. The investigator became irritated with Damian's attitude. "Enough, you're wasting time. Give it back!" the man scolded as he snatched the phone from Damian's hand."Hello!" Damian said when the call connected, a hoarse voice greeting from the other side."Who's this?""It's Damian. When will you keep your p
For over a week, Damian has been engulfed in anxiety and confusion. Multiple times, Damian read the agreement letter given to him by Bhuvi. And according to the schedule provided, today Damian will have a visit from his lawyer."Come on!" said the police officer as he opened the cell door and led Damian to meet his lawyer in a special room.Damian entered, gazing at the middle-aged man sitting in one of the chairs. Damian approached and sat in front of the man. "How are you?" the lawyer asked as Damian sat down, and Officer politely closed the door, leaving them to converse."Not too good," Damian replied, leaning his back against the wooden chair's support.The lawyer nodded. "Why?""When can I be free?" Damian asked bluntly, instantly changing the lawyer's facial expression.The lawyer took a deep breath and said, "When will you start being honest? There's no other way, Damian. All the evidence supports and corners you. Even if there's any evidence, you'll still be convicted.""Who
"You'll be surprised if you know about his company and who is leading it," Glara said with a serious expression.Bhuvi looked at Glara, raising an eyebrow. "Who is it, then?"Glara took a deep breath, then looked at Bhuvi intently and said, "Robert."Bhuvi smiled. "So my suspicions were correct. This man manipulated the situation and made Damian the culprit.""You already knew?" Glara asked with the same gaze.Bhuvi nodded, "Not everything. I only know that Robert instructed Damian and incited him. As for the purpose of doing that, I just found out now." Bhuvi looked at Glara and said, "As I mentioned earlier, a few days ago, I investigated everything with Tommy and Leo. And I found Robert's name but couldn't find his motive.""Can we report him?" Glara asked Bhuvi."Maybe yes, maybe no. He's powerful enough to fight back; one of his in-laws works in law, making him legally immune. The only key is..." Bhuvi paused in his statement, changed his position, and sat facing the pool. "It's
