บททั้งหมดของ The Second Wife : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

The order arrived just as Ansel approached her. She wondered what the man had been talking about with his friends for so long. Ajeng grimaced when she saw the many plates arranged on the table. There was fried gurame fish, grilled tilapia, stir-fried pakcoy, broccoli, crispy shrimp with Bangkok sauce, and tilapia soup. Not to mention two plates of white rice, two bowls of sambals, and two glasses of warm orange juice."Sorry for ordering so much. I wanted to eat food like this. The atmosphere is perfect for it." Ajeng forgot that she wasn't eating with Evan. She felt bad because it must have emptied Ansel's wallet."It's okay, sis. I'm actually happy that you're eating a lot. Fish is good for pregnant women," Ansel replied with a smile. For a moment, Ajeng felt like she was with the Ansel she used to know. The one who could always make her laugh. But after overhearing his confession earlier, she felt awkward again. "So, how did things go at your office earlier? How did Rita get f

"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 And the evidence must have been archived so that the audit team wouldn't suspect anything," Evan asked.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

When they left the room because Evan was really hungry, Ajeng had to restrain herself from running and hiding when she saw Ansel in the living room with her mother and Sander. Sander's teasing and insinuations about their shameless bedroom activities did not make Ajeng feel relaxed. In fact, she wanted to leave immediately because Ansel was staring at her intently. He looked angry. "Honey, let's just eat in the room," she said softly. "Huh? Why?" Evan looked at her in surprise. "Where are you going? Let's eat together. It's almost sunset. Why are you guys in the room and not coming out? Did you fall asleep?" Sekar asked as she pushed Ajeng and Evan's shoulders towards the dining room. "Eh, I'm not feeling well, Mom. I don't feel like eating either," she replied, giving an excuse. Her hand gripped Evan's arm when Ansel approached and sat right in front of her, while Sander sat next to the man. "Honey, let's just eat here. It's not nice to your mother," Evan muttered with a

"Don't be too hard on Ajeng and our son-in-law. After all, your operation wouldn't have been possible without Evan's help," Sekar persuaded Mark, gently holding his hand.At first, Mark was very grateful that he could finally undergo heart transplant surgery. His wife said that Ella had lent them the money. Even though it felt strange and awkward.No matter how good a friend was, it was impossible to lend 21 billion rupiah in such a short time. Let alone 21 billion, even lending 100 million would certainly cause reluctance, because debt could sever the bonds of friendship and kinship.But when he was lying in a hospital in Singapore, preparing to undergo tests before the operation, his daughter gave him devastating news.His beloved daughter had to become Ella's husband's second wife in return for the 21 billion rupiah. Ajeng didn't know that Mark fainted and his heart condition immediately deteriorated after his daughter finished calling him to ask him to find a marriage guardian.Th

It was only natural for people to trust those closest to them, especially their siblings. They tend to trust blindly without ever having negative thoughts, because they were convinced that siblings would never do anything bad to each other.But in reality, Sander was one of many people who had to swallow a bitter pill when he found out that his closest enemy was his cousin.He and Ajeng trusted Ansel so much. They considered him their younger brother. The only remaining family from their uncle's side. They believed that blood was thicker than water. Unaware that this blood actually carried a disease that could destroy their family.Knock knock knock!His heart was still pounding. Various thoughts about his interactions with Ansel flashed through his mind. Looking for what was wrong. What was suspicious."Open the door!" he shouted impatiently.Were there signs that Ansel had feelings for Ajeng? The two of them had been very close since childhood. But he thought that was normal, becaus
