"Are Dad and Mom really okay with us leaving again?" Evan asked as they entered the city of Batu.

"It's okay. Let them rest. They must be tired after the flight," Sander replied casually.

It was raining heavily when they left Sander and Ajeng's parents' house. And now there was still no sign of it letting up.

"Why do you think Ansel let Rita stay at the office? Why did he wait for Ajeng to expose her corruption? I don't think it's possible that he didn't know anything. The field reports and office reports must be the same. And the evidence must have been archived so that the audit team wouldn't suspect anything," Evan asked.

Honestly, he felt something was off. Had Dennis's company never been audited, so Rita's fraud had gone unnoticed for years?

Why didn't anyone dare to confront Rita? She was just an admin. Rita's father's status didn't determine her authority at Dennis's company and his father-in-law's company.

"I don't know much about that. All this time, I've only focu

    Sander watched Ansel's movements with a sharp gaze. Ever since he found out that the man had secretly installed a hidden camera in Ajeng's room, he no longer considered Ansel as his cousin.He was itching to say something rude and sarcastic every time Ansel pretended to speak sweetly and politely to his father and mother. The presence of Dennis made Sander even more eager to expose his cousin's depraved behavior."I want to get some documents from Ajeng's room. I think I left them there," Ansel said with a smile, putting on an innocent and kind face.Ugh! Sander wanted to spit and punch that arrogant face. All this time, he and everyone else had been fooled by that face."Why have you been so quiet, son?" his mother asked, frowning."Why are you going to Ajeng's room? Don't you dare go into her room when she's not here. I'll get the documents," Sander said coldly, ignoring his mother's question.Everyone turned to look at Sander in surprise. "Why are you talking like that to Ansel, s

    "Hey, honey? Why are you awake already? What do you want? Do you want something to eat?" Evan hurriedly approached Ajeng, who was ready to cry.He had never dealt with a pregnant woman before, but his mother often nagged him about the habits of pregnant women until his ears burned, and he finally memorized them by heart."Do you want something sour? Rujak or something? I'm not going back to the office. Papa will handle it because he knows you're grieving. Come on, let's have lunch. Or do you want to eat out?" Evan tried his best to distract his wife so she wouldn't think too much."But earlier you said...""You heard wrong. Earlier, Nathan was talking about Elena being followed by a stranger.""But earlier you yelled...""Ssshhh, I was just imitating a movie dialogue. Come on, what do you want to eat? Or do you want to go back to the room?""Huh? But I'm sure earlier...mmmhhhh."The most effective way to silence a woman is to sweep her off her feet. Evan had mastered the technique of

    "I have several candidates who fit Broto's description. If he means international fugitives, then I have a few names," Nathan said after typing something on Evan's laptop.When Susno tortured Broto at the man's house to make him confess, the two of them were secretly listening outside the room. It wasn't their own idea, but Susno's suggestion. The man deliberately left the door slightly open so they could hear clearly.Although reluctant to admit it, Evan was finally convinced that Susno was not really a stalker obsessed with his mother-in-law. It turned out that the man just couldn't move on from his genuine love for Sekar, but his methods were wrong and caused disaster for Ajeng.All this time, Susno had hired people to follow Sekar and Ajeng, solely to protect the two women from Puspa and Ella's attacks. Since marrying Puspa, the woman had been very sensitive towards Sekar and had done various things to harm her."They're all from overseas," Evan commented when he saw some photos o

    "Why do you want to be Ansel's henchman?" Susno asked again.Broto, who was still weak and battered and tied to a chair, still refused to answer. Furious, Susno kicked the man in the stomach for the umpteenth time.For years, he had been waiting for this moment to beat up the man who had destroyed his marriage. The ignorant man who had become a parasite and sucked his wealth through Puspa and Ella. How ignorant the poor man was."What did that brat promise you? Wealth? A position?" Susno snorted. "That kid is still dependent on his father. You're willing to be used by that brat. Broto... Broto! You really don't know how to be grateful. You're lucky I took you in so you wouldn't become a vagrant."Yes, Broto was his old school friend. The man who had been his neighbor when he still lived in Malang. The man who had also helped him get Sekar Anjani, but was thwarted by Mark.Left orphaned by both parents, Broto was alone because he had no relatives willing to take him in. Broto was an il

    Everything happened so fast. Ajeng's body was pulled away before a sharp knife stabbed her chest. She didn't even have time to process what was happening when Evan lunged at the man who was attacking her."Evan!"Nathan kicked the attacker's wrist until the knife slipped and flew far away. He took control of the perpetrator after Evan let go."Evan! You're bleeding!" Ajeng pushed away whoever was holding her and rushed to her husband. "Honey, your hand was cut by the knife!"Ajeng hurriedly took Evan to her car. She saw Adi waiting in front of the car with a worried look on his face. Her eyes widened. If Adi was there, then who was the one who pulled her and hugged her from behind?"Let me treat it, sir. There's a first aid kit inside," Adi said as he hurriedly opened the car door and looked for the kit.Ajeng told Evan to sit in the middle seat. Before getting in, she turned around to see who had helped her. Her eyes widened again when she saw Susno standing not far from Nathan, who

    Most of the mourners had already left the public cemetery, leaving Ajeng still crying in Evan's arms.Her early pregnancy meant she couldn't dwell too long in her grief, or the fetus in her womb would also become stressed."Let it go. This is how it is," Evan said, stroking her arm."If I had known this would happen, I should have come back here sooner," Ajeng said between sobs."We never know when someone will leave this world. Pray that she will be forgiven."Ajeng's hands trembled as she wiped the tears from her face. She stared at the fresh mound of earth covered with flowers. It still felt like a dream. She had just been talking to Ella, then suddenly the woman was lying on the floor, breathing her last breath right before her eyes."You've forgiven her, right, honey?" The tears wouldn't stop flowing from Ajeng's eyes.After all, they had been friends since their first year of college. Seven years together through thick and thin could not be forgotten so easily, even though perha
