"Suspicious? Why would you think that Valentino Araya had sent someone to attend the funeral?" Valentino asked.

"That unknown man ...."

"Unknown man?" Valentino repeated.

"Oh never mind. Maybe it's just because I was too scared that time so it could be a pity to see what I don't want. By the way why are you so interested in that family?" Joshua asked.

Valentino returned to his normal attitude because Joshua didn't seem suspicious of him at all.

"I'm not interested in that family. I am only interested in business. If it's profitable, I'll definitely go after it. Yes it seems that doing business with David Araya is quite interesting and I can confirm if I can make a big profit from there. Ah, forgive me for talking too much. Wow ... Looks like that's enough Mr. lawyer. I've taken up too much of your time," Valentino said.

"Oh no. No. It's all right, sir. I'm actually very happy to be doing business with you," Joshua said, who was still happy because he had just earned a very large

    After meeting his childhood friend, Valentino, who was quite tired because of his busy activities that day, decided to go straight back to his apartment. But really unlucky for him, at the door of his apartment there was already a woman he did not want to meet, Almyra, David Araya's secretary who seemed interested in him. He wanted to turn around but she already saw him. "Calvin, you're finally home," Almyra said. Valentino nodded and gave the woman a fake smile. "Yes. Is there anything I can help you with?" Valentino asked. "Oh well. I made two pans of chocolate brownies and I want to give you one of these pans. Do you want?" Almyra said. Valentino glanced at one pan of chocolate-flavored brownies. Actually he didn't like cakes that were too sweet but Valentino was not a cruel person to refuse food from other people. "Yes, of course. I'm glad to accept it," Valentino said. Valentino saw the twinkle in the woman's eyes and he was quite satisfied that she had impressed him. "Th

    As promised, Valentino invited Almyra to have breakfast together. Almyra actually started to worry if David found out that she was currently with Valentino. But she also didn't want to waste a chance if she could be with a man who she found quite attractive and also kind. "Thank you for accompanying me to eat this morning. I feel bad for stealing your time from David Araya," Valentino said. "Oh, don't talk like that. I'm very happy to accompany you to eat. And it turns out your cooking is also very good. Where did you learn to cook?" Almyra asked. "Of course my mother taught me. Oh yeah. Will David pick you up later?" Valentino asked. Almyra looked confused because from last night her lover had not contacted her at all, so she didn't even know whether David would pick her up this morning or not. "I think maybe I'll go to the office myself," Almyra replied. "Do you want me to take you?" Valentino asked suddenly. Almyra was even more surprised to hear that. "Uh, are you n

    For some reasons, Valentino suddenly had a feeling that the doctor was in the first hospital they visited. But this time Valentino did not come as a Valentino Araya or Calvin Miller. He who just happened to bring Aditya Putra's costume equipment immediately changed his clothes and also completely changed his appearance. He told his driver to drop him off before he reached the hospital. "Go! Pick me up in an hour in front of the minimarket over there," Valentino said. Valentino immediately entered the hospital and registered himself to consult with Doctor Elina Prada. And he's sure enough. When he used Aditya Putra's identity, he immediately got the queue number. Valentino still couldn't believe it and he wondered what made Doctor Elina who seemed to have told the hospital staff not to allow her to see the doctor. But how could that be? There was no way Doctor Elina would know about her true identity. These questions kept swirling in Valentino's head until he didn't realize th

    Valentino went straight to the administration department at the hospital. "Sorry sir, but we can't give any information to people who are not from their relatives," the hospital employee said. Valentino was forced to use his real identity to be able to get to the archive. "Sir, I am the biological son of Budi Araya. I am Valentino Araya. I was forced to use this method so that I could investigate the strange death of my father. This is my identity," Valentino said. The officer was surprised, but he realized that the man in front of him was not lying because his identity and face were the same. Valentino felt lucky to have a friend like Agusta because he was able to make a fake ID card for him which was amazingly similar to the real one. Valentino did not have an identity card in Indonesia, so Agusta handled everything. The officer who already believed in Valentino finally went to the archives and looked for a document that Valentino had been looking for. "Here it is, sir. The fi

    "Of course not. I've only been to Indonesia for a few months. It's also the first time I've been to this house," Valentino said, looking friendly at Sriani. Sriani sighed in disappointment. She thought she had seen the child of Budi Araya she had been looking for a long time. She thought David's guest really looked like that boy. Only the posture was very different. Valentino used to be fat and Calvin looked tall and thin. No. No. Not skinny but more precisely proportional. "Oh, I see. I'm so sorry, I thought you were someone I used to know," Sriani said. "It's all right, ma'am," Valentino said. Valentino was forced to say that because he saw the silhouette of David Araya reflected in the glass. He didn't know if David was suspecting him or just eavesdropping on the conversation. But he'd better be on the safe side so as not to make him suspicious. David then appeared suddenly and immediately looked annoyed at the butler. "Why are you still here? Just go back to the maid's

    Good stuff? repeated Valentino in his heart. Valentino was very interested. He guessed that the item David was referring to was not a legal item for sale. Surely the goods he meant were items that were not worth buying and selling. And out of curiosity that made him want to know more about it, Valentino decided to follow David to where he was going. David and Valentino use their respective cars. "Are you sure you're doing this, sir?" Ruslan asked. "Yes. Isn't this a good opportunity to find out more about you like him? I'm sure if this business also definitely can't be official," Valentino replied. "Unofficial? How can you think like that?" Ruslan asked. "David said it was good stuff. The good stuff here is definitely something that can be banned," Valentino explained. "And besides, David mentioned the club we're going to right now. The club he was referring to was also not clear. But soon we will know what they are doing," Valentino said. Valentino saw a magnificent buildi

    Valentino still found it hard to believe what he was seeing right now. In the large box that had just been opened by David and Bara, there was a wine which was quite rare. Wine should not be traded in Indonesia. The Indonesian government had even issued a strict prohibition not to trade the wine. This was because the wine with the VN12 brand contained compounds that were harmful to health. Valentino himself had also heard about lots of people who end up being addicted to that one drink. Where he used to live, in England a decree limiting the consumption of dangerous drinks had been issued by the government. Then how could his stepbrother deal with something like this? This was incredibly dangerous. "VN12. Don't you know that there are many officials who really like this wine because it has extraordinary benefits?" Bara said proudly. Benefits? Had Bara gone mad? How could he call this dangerous drink a benefit? Valentino was starting to feel more confused but he always remembere

    As if not all of it was enough. Valentino was being led into a special room for a few people who could afford the larger funds. The room was quite large and had lots of luxurious amenities in it. But strangely all of it only consisted of a very large mattress and also a very luxurious sofa. Even more surprising for Valentino, Valentino had to be forced to stain his eyes. In front of him there were several girls with very seductive minimal clothes lying on the bed and also some on the sofa with seductive gazes. Bara and David just rushed at the women and did something very disgusting in front of their eyes. Shamelessly, David groped the women and what was even more astonishing was Valentino having to watch them make love. "Hey, don't any of these girls suit your taste?" David asked. "Oh. It is not like that. But I just did it this morning. And now I don't want anymore," Valentino said. The woman who was playing with her breasts by David could only roll violently. Meanwhile, now

    Misky could easily get information about Bara Ali who had bought the luxury apartment under his own name.Misky really thought it was the biggest stupidity Bara had ever done.He was really confused as to why such a fatal recklessness was actually carried out by Bara.I don't know because Bara, who was too stupid, knew that maybe he was the one who underestimated Misky so much that she didn't think they could find him.Misky believed in both reasons at once.Ruslan who accompanied the man also felt very excited because soon they would soon meet Bara, the man who had deliberately killed Almyra with his own hands."Don't be rash!"said Ruslan who tried to warn Misky the man was still more careful because they didn't know yet whether Bara had subordinates who protect him or was just alone."Yeah, I know.
