The sound of laughter could be heard when Marcel arrived at Delvino’s house. He had wanted to enter through the front door, so he decided to turn around and enter through the backyard.Shirley had always warned Marcel not to show himself when her friends came to visit.“I want to build a perfect image in front of my friends, and I always tell them that my husband is a busy businessman who comes home every three months.” That’s what Shirley said every time Marcel protested her behavior.Unfortunately, Ronnie was sitting at the table enjoying a cup of coffee. Shirley’s eldest brother turned his head when Marcel appeared in the kitchen.“You didn’t come through the front door, did you?” Ronnie asked in a probing tone.“I came through the back door,” Marcel replied flatly.“It’s good that you know yourself,” Ronnie said with a sardonic smile. “By the way, doesn’t the waitressing job pay enough to support my sister?” asked Ronnie again as Marcel washed his hands in the sink.“It should be

“Where’s Shirley?” asked Ciko when Marcel arrived home.“Didn’t she tell you?” said Marcel as he opened his jacket.“If Shirley told me, why would I ask you?” said Ciko with the water hose held up to Marcel’s face.“She’s on holiday,” Marcel replied matter-of-factly. “But I don’t know where she’s holidaying and with whom.”Ciko nodded.“Wash my car,” he ordered. “I took it to the beach yesterday and it got rained on. You wash it again, and then you can eat.”Marcel, still tired from work, looked at his brother-in-law and prepared to refuse.“What?” challenged Ciko, who noticed Marcel’s rejection.“I just got back from work, at least let me drink first.” Marcel tried to bargain.“Who are you to bargain now?” scolded Ciko as he whipped Marcel’s arm with the hose.“It’s not like that ...” Marcel pretended to grimace in pain. “Mr Aldi has been contacting me for the past few days and I feel like someone is following me ... That’s why I need to get home quickly.”Ciko’s face immediately fro

Marcel didn’t answer immediately, his mind so full that it was difficult for him to decide immediately.“What else would you like to consider, Sir?” said Fandi again.“Actually, I have nothing to consider,” said Marcel.“Then?” asked Fandi, not understanding. “About the cooperation with Mr Aldi, didn’t you agree to it?”Marcel turned to look at Fandi.“I can’t just agree to Mr Aldi’s visit to my lab,” said Marcel. “I also don’t want people to find out about this collaboration too soon, especially my wife’s family.”Fandi nodded his head, while Marcel chose not to go too far.“I don’t know what you’re planning to do with your wife’s family, but you should immediately respond to Mr Aldi’s request to come visit your lab.”“Please tell Mr Aldi to be patient for a while,” Marcel said calmly. “I’m not sure when, but it’s in my best interest to protect the lab from the curiosity of my wife’s family.”Fandi smiled briefly when he heard Marcel’s explanation.“I understand,” he agreed. “I’m jus

Ronnie’s face turned bright red when Marcel reminded her of the challenge.“You doubt this company’s ability?” asked Ciko angrily. “Who do you think you are!”As he said that, Ciko observed Marcel and realised that his brother-in-law’s appearance had changed considerably.Marcel, who used to wear a collared shirt typical of the uniform of the shop where he worked, was now wearing a formal suit like himself, with a silver watch around his wrist.Ciko, who likes to collect watches, clearly knew that the watch Marcel was wearing wasn’t cheap.“You’ve been promoted,” Ciko commented sarcastically. “Director of the shop?”Ronnie snorted with suppressed laughter.“I see,” Marcel said calmly. “So what do you say, are you brave enough?”“I’m not willing to bow down at your feet, unclean.” Ciko scoffed, and Ronnie was astonished that Marcel could still take the insult in stride.“Well, you have a fear of your parents’ company failing, don’t you?” Marcel said flatly, but it struck a chord with C

Upon arriving at the lab, Venya successfully piqued Marcel’s curiosity by looking at Venya’s muddy face.“What’s wrong, Venya?”Venya immediately explained the chronology of events that she had experienced when facing Delvino’s family, who insisted on entering the lab. Marcel shook his head in response to the behavior of his wife’s family.“How arrogant of them,” Marcel commented.“I’m fine ...” Venya said quietly.“If you get verbally or physically abused, tell me.” Marcel gave Venya a stern look. “That’s you looking shocked, do we need to teach them a lesson?”Venya didn’t answer immediately. She suddenly felt her head dizzy and her body weak, so she just obeyed when Marcel asked her to lie down on the bed, while Meru sat pensively as usual.“You must be exhausted, you also regularly consume the formula you made yourself, right?” asked Marcel.“No, I don’t have time ....”“... at least take the time to keep yourself fit, I know you’re tired of working all this time, Venya.”Venya cl
