Marcel was then asked to show his identity card by several people."Marcelino? Are you from here?""I am," Marcel nodded."Come with us now," said one of the men who had thrown Marcel into the room.Marcel calmly let himself be led to a two-story house not too far from the office.Aldi was already there waiting for him with a happy look on his face. Without much preamble, one of them immediately engaged Marcel in conversation."Can I help you, Mr Marcelino? Just say the word."Marcel looked up from his seated position, flanked by two of Aldi's burly security guards."I think I'd like to move the lab in stages," Marcel said flatly, his eyes looking straight at the mature man in the vest who sat facing him with an air of charisma. "I don't think the Delvino family home is safe anymore."The tall man with wise eyes looked at Marcel with narrowed eyes until they were just a line."I understand how you feel," Aldi said calmly as he stood up and faced straight at Marcel, who was still sitti
As dinner progressed, Herman occasionally asked Marcel questions.“Where do you work now, Marcel?”“Still at the small shop, Dad.” Marcel replied simply. “If it’s just this house, I won’t make any money.”Across the table, Ronnie shared a look with Shirley. It was the first time Marcel had been allowed to eat at the same table with their family.“Oh yeah?” responded Herman incredulously. “Didn’t you decide to resume the lab? I thought you were busy there, but maybe you forgot your obligation to help with the housekeeping work here ....”Herman stopped his speech when Shirley looked at him with a sulking gaze.“Marcel still wants a divorce.” Shirley told him.Marcel only smiled briefly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw how Shirley sneered at her own plate.That night, as usual, Marcel took his pillow and blanket as he intended to sleep in the maid’s room.“Just sleep in my room,” Shirley invited Marcel hesitantly and reluctantly together.Marcel was initially unsure if Shirley mean
Upon arrival at the in-laws’ office, Marcel went downstairs with Aldi to meet Herman together.Marcel, who was wearing a plain blue shirt and slick black trousers, walked beside Aldi, who told him to act like a conglomerate businessman.Marcel, who didn’t know anything, just complied with what Aldi suggested to him.“I’d like to see Mr Delvino,” Marcel said to the clerk at the desk. “I’m his son-in-law, soon to be ex.”The female employee reacted with difficulty as she tried to digest Marcel’s words, but she went inside Herman’s room to inform him of her son-in-law’s arrival.“How could he not know that you’re the son-in-law of his boss?” Aldi whispered in surprise.“You shouldn’t be surprised,” Marcel said in a low whisper. “My parents were hoping I would get a good career path.”Aldi glanced around.“It doesn’t matter if it’s a small company, you have dozens of companies ....”“We’re not talking about that here.” Marcel warned. “I’m your employee, right?”“Fine!” Aldi cleared his th
Since Marcel only gives her three million in monthly allowance, Shirley has returned to her arrogant attitude.Especially after Ronnie told her that Marcel was just hitching a ride with his friend who owned a luxury car.“Seriously, so all this time ...?” Shirley widened her eyes after learning that fact.Ronnie nodded.“But let’s face it, at least we can still utilize your in-laws’ debt to make some money.” He looked at Shirley. “You don’t need a divorce, you don’t have to have sex with Marcel if you don’t want to.”“What the hell, Bro, it’s unclean, you know!” snapped Shirley with a look of disgust.Even though in her heart, she was saying the opposite.At one time or another, Shirley accidentally saw Marcel, who had just come out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist downwards.It was then that Shirley noticed a physical change in Marcel’s two arms that looked toned and full, as well as his broad chest to his boxy stomach.“Maybe ... he has a gigolo job?” chirp
“I still want a divorce,” Shirley whispered to her mother.“Not a good idea,” Reina shook her head. “Your husband’s lab can make money for us, Marcel can also be used by you ....”“He’s a poor husband, I don’t want him!” refused Shirley with a frown.“But he can make millions from his work,” Ronnie quipped. “It’s just embarrassing our family name, Mum.”Herman sighed.“If this marriage ends, we all lose.” He emphasized. “We haven’t made any money back yet, so who’s going to reimburse me?”Shirley rolled her eyes.“If you stay Marcel’s wife, at least you’ll get some monthly money. She can also help around the house,” Ronnie suggested as he did the math. “When else would you have a free mistress?”Shirley held her forehead, she wasn’t sure if Marcel had any assets that he could drain.“I’m the sacrifice too,” Shirley complained as her parents conferred with Marcel again.“I’ll help,” Ronnie said. “It’s only natural that mum and dad don’t want to lose, they’ve already spent a lot of mone
Two weeks passed peacefully. Marcel and the other tenants managed to live their new lives on a schedule set by the center.The neighbors accepted their presence without question, so they didn’t bother each other if Marcel went out with his driver Aldi and two others every day.“I’m surprised none of the Delvino family members have realized what we’re doing yet,” Marcel commented as the car driven by Aldi’s driver drove towards Herman’s office. “I think this is too suspicious.”Aldi’s driver, Diko, was still focused on driving and did not immediately answer.“It’s good if it’s like this, Sir.” Diko said after a few moments of silence. “It makes the process of moving your lab to Mr Aldi’s place easier.”Marcel was silent for a while as he thought.“But it could also be an indirect trap,” he commented introspectively. “I must remain cautious, including with strangers we meet.”“I agree, sir!” said Diko from the driving seat.Not long after, the car stopped at a red light. That’s when Mar
A few days in the new lab ....“You can’t do that, Sir.” Diko argued. “My boss has taken over ownership of this land ....”“Where are the papers then?” asked Ronnie in a debt-collector-like tone.“The letters, that’s my boss’s business.” Diko stood his ground.“If you can’t show us the papers, we’ll take over the land!” threatened Ronnie as he tugged on Diko’s shirt collar. “Do you know who I am? I’m Herman Delvino’s son, you should know that name!”Diko staggered backwards as Ronnie pushed him hard.“Then can you show me the ownership letter from the Delvino family, sir?” said Diko while smoothing the front of his shirt.“What?”“Didn’t you say that if there’s no letter, it means the ownership can be in anyone’s name?” replied Diko cleverly.Ronnie’s face turned bright red when he heard Diko’s words. He then turned to his men who were still standing at attention and shouted, “Level this place with the ground, now!”Diko turned around and was about to mobilise his men in anticipation
“You ...” A guard observed Marcel’s face that was slightly hidden behind his messy jet-black hair. “Like the one over there ....”Before the guard could recognize him, Marcel turned around and immediately pulled Venya to run back. He bumped into one or two people who were intent on blocking his way.“Venya, I need your help!” Marcel exclaimed loudly.“Are you sure, Marcel?” Venya called back. “I can’t fight, Marcel!”“You just need to listen to my instructions!” Marcel said. “And do it without asking too many questions!”Venya couldn’t help but nod her head.“The important thing is that I can go home and see my father!” Venya exclaimed almost desperately. “I came here to continue my research, but why is it like this!”Marcel nodded his head, he stopped his running and lifted Venya up by her waist until both of her long legs were lifted off the ground.“Oh my, Marcel!” Venya exclaimed in surprise.“I’m sorry if I’m being rude! But please raise your legs high, I’ll use them to immobiliz
Meanwhile, Shirley still could not accept her father’s decision to appoint Elen as CEO of the company. How could she, who was highly educated, be paired with an employee whose educational background was unclear.That was an insult, Shirley was furious in her heart.She immediately ordered someone to find information about Elen, including her educational history.At least, Shirley wanted to make sure for herself that her competitor was someone who was very equal in everything.“Here are the files you asked for, ma’am.” A secretary handed a brown folder to Shirley.“No one knows that I told you to get Elen’s personal data, right?” Shirley asked, looking up at her secretary.“No one, ma’am.” The secretary shook her head politely.“Good,” Shirley replied in a satisfied tone. “You may go. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”The secretary nodded and hurriedly left Shirley’s room.After her employee left, Shirley lowered her head to check Elen’s biodata. She seemed normal when readi
“Sir, this is bad!”Damian looked up when Dirlan entered his office.“Why didn’t you knock first?” Damian asked unhappily.“Excuse me, Sir … but this is really bad!” Dirlan exclaimed, holding back. “I just got news from Wina this morning, and I came straight here looking for you …” “Sit down,” Damian ordered. “What’s the problem? Did a lot of employees leave?”Dirlan shook his head, he sat down and stared above him.“Not a single body was found from yesterday’s incident,” Dirlan said with a tense expression on his face. “There’s only a car wreck that’s ringing.”Damian responded to the news delivered by Dirlan with clenched fists.“How is that possible? Didn’t you say that the car should have had passengers?” Damian inquired with a twitching expression.Dirlan was a little horrified to see his boss’s face, he replied hesitantly, “Of course I’m sure, the car couldn’t have been driven by a ghost—at least there was a driver and an unexpected person, Marcel ...” Damian sighed heavily, “
Upon arriving at the headquarters, Marcel successfully piqued Aldi’s curiosity because he saw their messy hands.“I told you to be careful!”Ivan, representing his colleagues, immediately explained the chronology of the events that had befallen them. Aldi shook his head in response to the unexpected disaster.“Take the injured to the lab,” Aldi ordered.“I’m fine, Sir ...” Marcel replied softly.“If you’re injured, that means something is wrong.” Aldi looked at Marcel firmly. “You two also have to be examined regarding the formula you’ve consumed.”Diko and the others nodded obediently when Aldi had already said so.In the lab ....Marcel suddenly felt his head dizzy and his body weak, so he just obeyed when the team of doctors asked him to lie down on the bed while Diko and Ivan were examined in another room.“No matter how magical it is, this formula still has to be perfected.”“Especially when it’s drunk in an unhygienic condition ...”“... a lot of dust, for example.”Marcel close
When all the iron had been thrown completely, a man and a woman jumped down and walked closer.“How? Are you sure this won’t make the boss angry?” asked Wina who was standing on the far side. “Even though we had acknowledged the man as our son …”“Shouldn’t we be one step ahead?” replied Dirlan with sparkling eyes. “Let’s just say it was a single accident, the important thing is that the boss wants to stop Marcelino from continuing his cooperation with Mr. Aldi.”The man with the short hair shrugged.“We should go now,” he suggested. “Let the fake scientist clean up this mess.”The husband and wife immediately got back into the truck, not long after they left the scene before people came because of the chaos they had created.“My mind feels relieved after the person named Marcel was successfully destroyed, Wina!”“Hopefully what we did was right, Dirlan!”The couple did not speak to each other anymore as the truck carrying them continued to speed away from the scene of the crime.Upon
Since leaving the shop and deciding to join Aldi, Marcel rarely showed his face in front of the Delvino family.Marcel's old cellphone was also always ringing, but he never bothered because the ones who contacted him were always Shirley or his mother-in-law who demanded that he return as soon as possible."I've finished the experiment with Venya and the team, can I go out for a while?" Marcel asked asking permission from Aldi. "I'm bored if I keep being locked up here without a job."Aldi thought for a moment. Marcel thought that he would never be given permission, but it turned out he was wrong!"You can go anywhere you want," said Aldi who at that time was busy with the layout of the Delvino family's very large residence."Are you serious, sir?" asked Marcel, very suspicious when Aldi easily gave him permission."As long as you continue to act carefully," replied Aldi with a serious face. "With us having started to gradually take over the medical market, I'm sure the Delvino family
“Let’s do it,” Marcel said, looking straight at Ronnie.“What the heck, Cel? Don’t be rude to my brother!” Shirley snapped in disapproval.Marcel didn’t respond, while Ronnie was busy arguing with herself.“Well, if you intend to break your promise,” Marcel said calmly. “People who break their oaths usually get unlucky for life.”After saying his final sentence, Marcel turned and walked away, leaving his wife and brother-in-law behind.“Brother, why did you make a challenge?” Shirley commented fiercely. “Now what if our family gets unlucky in life?”Ronnie clenched his fists, a fierce battle still going on in his mind. His pride would certainly be at stake if he wiped Marcel’s shoes.“What do you think, Brother?” Shirley urged in annoyance.“Just keep quiet if you can’t give me a solution!” Ronnie blurted out emotionally, his shoulders heaving and his hands clenching. “Cel, wait!”Marcel stopped walking before he had gone too far, then turned around. Ronnie felt she had no other choic
“Venya, what are you doing?” Marcel frowned when he got into the car, and it turned out that Venya was driving. “Where did the driver go yesterday?”Venya smiled broadly before answering, “Today, Mr. Diko just finished teaching me how to drive a car.”Marcel nodded briefly and told Diko to take him to the Aldi branch office building, one of the companies under the Aldians Group.That was where the leader would announce which companies were eligible to participate in the tender.“Mr. Aldi said that you are not allowed to reveal the cooperation project to anyone you meet,” Diko reminded her when they were only a few meters away from the destination office.“Of course I will keep my mouth shut, so there is no need to worry about anyone finding out.” Marcel emphasized.“But…” Diko still seemed hesitant.“No one will recognize me except Delvino’s family members,” Marcel interrupted as he got out of the car. “And they also don’t know exactly what my cooperation project with Mr. Aldi is.”Di
Then suddenly dozens to tens of people in black uniforms appeared gradually but quickly surrounding Marcel’s movement who was on top.“Trash,” Marcel muttered while raising his face arrogantly. “Move forward, all of you!”Almost all of Dirlan’s men shot forward, and Marcel moved one leg to throw a rifle up, then grabbed it with both hands.He immediately aimed at the floor, the whirring bullets smoothly shot at the legs of Dirlan’s men who immediately collapsed and made the people behind him slip while some were trampled by their own friends.“Move forward, all of you!” Marcel challenged in a loud voice while turning around and jumping from the glass window that shattered into pieces when it hit his body quickly.Marcel’s body fell freely down towards Dirlan’s swimming pool before anyone could catch him.He felt incredibly fresh when his face hit the pool water, he immediately straightened himself up with water dripping from his hair.Dirlan grinned widely at his men.“The game isn’t
Marcel caught Dirlan red-handed when he followed the man to a building that was quite hidden.“So it turns out you’re not my father, right?”“That’s it,” Dirlan nodded.“Come with us now,” said one of them, who immediately threw Marcel into a room.Marcel calmly let himself be led to a two-story house that was not too far from the office.There were already several men waiting for him with wary looks. Without much ado, introducing themselves, one of them immediately invited Marcel to talk.“Become a medical expert in my company, then you will get back the wealth and women as you wish.”Marcel looked up from his position sitting flanked by two armed and muscular gangsters.“You’ve got the wrong person,” Marcel replied flatly, with both words staring straight at the young man in a vest who was sitting facing him with a gripping aura. “I’m not the person you’re looking for.”The tall man with gray irises stared at Marcel with eyes narrowed to a line. He was Dirlan, the man who claimed to
