"He's lying! No way I could have done that!" The woman thief still insisted that she was completely innocent.

Richard turned to Aslan who was still calm, as if he could take responsibility for everything he said, unlike the woman who was very panicked.

Aslan approached her and pulled out the fake necklace she was hiding, causing her to panic even more.

"What's this necklace for, then?" Aslan asked.

"Th-thats... it's a prop used for filming a movie." said the woman, obviously lying.

"But as far as I know, the design of the necklace is a secret, this is the first time it's been shown to the public." said Ben.

The woman chuckled in annoyance as she turned to Ben with a deadly glare.

"Is it true that the necklace was only unveiled today, Mr. Richard?" Aslan asked.

Richard nodded, "Of course, since the necklace is going to be auctioned off, it's the star of the show, so there's no way I'd share the design beforehand. So there's no way anyone would have the audacity to make such a de

    "Can you stop drinking that?" asked Irene, she was fed up with Aslan not being able to stop drinking.He wasn't drinking alcohol, but warm canned black coffee, which they'd bought at a convenience store near the hotel.Irene was annoyed, because she thought Aslan was taking her out on a date, but it turned out to be just a walk around the hotel. Then they hung out at the convenience store because it was cold, then Aslan bought several cans of warm coffee, he said he couldn't be sleepy yet."I'm sorry, this coffee is so good," Aslan said, Irene didn't know whether Aslan was lying or not, because Aslan's expression was unpredictable."Because the coffee is good, or because you have a problem?" asked Irene.Aslan turned to Irene, "does it show on my face?" he asked.Irene frowned, she didn't expect it to be right, but she was just guessing."What's the problem? Don't tell me it's Debby again."Aslan shook his head, "No, it's not, there's someone I've been close to since I was a kid at th

    A big city like Amrak that has a lot of workers, both local and from other countries, naturally has a lot of restaurants and cafes to make it easier for them to get food. Many of them were even open 24 hours a day.Because there were so many restaurants, and some of them were crowded, Aslan chose one that wasn't too crowded. It was a restaurant that sold various kinds of noodles. There were ramen with delicious soup, and fried noodles. It seemed interesting, so Aslan went there with Irene.But it wasn't easy, because after entering and sitting comfortably in the warm restaurant, Aslan had a hard time figuring out what noodles he should eat.Ramen with a thick, rich, warm soup would be delicious to eat in the winter."I don't think I can eat noodles, because it will only make me gain weight, and then the next day my face will be swollen," said Irene, who was also having trouble figuring out what to order."There is also a side menu here, try ordering one of them if you don't want to ea

    "Is she your girlfriend?"Aslan turned to Maki and Irene who were on the sofa. Irene was sleeping after finishing a bottle of wine, she still thought of Maki as Zeno, because she was also still drunk, not fully sober.They were already in Aslan's hotel room, he had wanted to take Irene to his hotel room, but didn't after he saw Debby and Stevan enter the room.Aslan just wanted to avoid them.Meanwhile, Dave was fast asleep with Sam, in Sam's hotel room.So there was only Aslan, Maki and Irene in the room."No, we're just a bit close." Aslan replied casually, because he also didn't know how his relationship with Irene was. The word 'close' was all Aslan could say at the moment."Then can I approach her?" asked Maki.Aslan frowned, for some reason, he didn't like hearing that from Maki. There was an uncomfortable feeling in his chest, but he didn't know what it was."Whatever, but Irene is already 26 years old."Maki smiled, "the age difference doesn't matter, the important thing is th

    "Hmm~ this is delicious! Premium spicy beef and cheese pizza. I didn't expect to be able to eat pizza this expensive," Maki said.Aslan hadn't asked Maki anything yet, he was just confused about where to start. Aslan was easily curious about something. He was looking for the right words to say so that Maki wouldn't think he was weird for already knowing so much about him.But, seeing Maki so happy just because of a $500 pizza, made Aslan feel very sad, even though it was also nothing compared to the most expensive pizza in the world. If Aslan remember it correctly, the most expensive pizza was also in Amrak, around 12,000$. If Aslan's father's younger brother had recognized Maki as his son, maybe Maki wouldn't be like now. Maybe Maki would turn out to be like Zacky or Mike, the typical rich kid who was spoiled a lot by his parents."You can eat as much as you want, I can order more," Aslan said."Really? If it's not too much trouble, I'd like more tomorrow, but I don't feel like burde

But for now, if people hear Aslan's name, what people think of is Kendrik's big name.Aslan didn't think much of it in the past, but as time went on, it bothered him more and more.

So Aslan felt he had entered the wrong country, even though he had been in Batavia all his life."I knew that Batavia was hot, but I didn't expect it to be this hot, it's fitting that you like to shower so much," Maki said while they were still in the car."Let alone you who just came, I myself also think this city is very hot, I want to take a shower as soon as I get home, I can't stand it anymore." said Aslan.At that time, Saga who picked up Aslan with a mini van from a brand that was not too luxurious, because Aslan was tired after a long trip on the plane, so he didn't want to attract attention by being picked up by a luxury car.

I suggest that you relent and give the necklace to him, otherwise he can disturb our big family." Damian said.Aslan chuckled, knowing that there was someone influential behind Damian's actions."Aren't you a coward too, uncle? Because you're willing to go along with that guy's words, he's just bluffing, there must be something you want from him, that's why you're willing to go along with his wishes." Aslan argued."But if such a precious diamond necklace was only given to Sarah-""So you think my mom is worthless and doesn't deserve a necklace li

    "Did you have fun playing all day?"Dave, who was exhausted from playing at Disneyland, was surprised by Aslan's presence in his room.Dave walked over to Aslan, he was surprised to see Aslan smiling happily and looking strange."Why are you here?" Dave asked."Listen, do you want to make new friends?" Dave frowned, "I don't want to.""Oh, come on Dave!""I'm tired of two friends like Sion and Anton, especially Sion. And you want to give me another friend? That's absurd!"Aslan chuckled lazily, Dave was an introvert, his energy could be drained around an extrovert like Sion.Aslan didn't know what type of person Arga was, but Aslan wanted to bring Dave closer to Arga. If this is the case, maybe Aslan should approach Arga first.It's impossible to keep a secret forever, surely it will be revealed later if Arga is indeed the son of Lydia who was exchanged.

    Sam found it strange that Aslan was suddenly silent while staring at his body, after realizing what Aslan was looking at, he asked."Do you feel sorry for me after seeing my body covered in scars like this? I don't like being pitied." Sam asked.Aslan shook his head, then he handed Sam something. It was a silver bathbomb, which was not much different from the gold one, except that if the gold bathbomb could brighten dull skin, the silver bathbomb could remove scars or even out skin tone. The silver one was slightly cheaper than the gold one, costing 400 silver coins."What is this? Soap?" Sam asked confused."You're so pretty, you're an idol, and I guess you don't like all those scars yourself, do you? So take a shower and then soak in that bathbomb. It's free." Aslan said.Sam was still staring at it with a confused look on his face."What do my wounds have to do with this bathbomb?" Sam asked, he really didn't understand what Aslan meant, but he had a point. Sam hated his body for b

Rama who was divulging Sam's secret was immediately smothered by Sam."Hahaha, don't listen to Rama! Aslan, thank goodness you're okay, I was also scolded by my manager the night of your accident." Sam let go of Rama and walked over to Aslan, checking him from top to bottom and there was nothing wrong with him."That's because you ate a lot of seafood, you didn't say anything about preparing the album, I'm fine." Aslan said, then he invited the others to enter."Are you two the only ones here?" Aslan asked, once they were inside the house.Rama and Ben couldn't stop marveling at the ho

    Not far from the orphanage there is a small forest, actually it is just a vacant lot that was left abandoned. There were some big trees, bushes and various plants. Behind the small forest was a river, the same river as the one behind the orphanage.The small forest was a hiding place for the orphanage children during the day, as well as a place where the boys liked to play. For example, climbing trees, bathing in the very clear river, and so on. Because girls were very afraid to go to the forest.So Aslan also liked to go there, usually Aslan would climb the biggest tree, then read a book there, or watch other children playing.Of course, Aslan and Ben often played there with the others, sometimes just the two of them.Aslan didn't understand why Ben asked him to go to that place, but after he got there, Aslan became nostalgic for his past.It was so much fun back then.The tree that Aslan used to climb so often, now it doesn't look as big as he thought it was, maybe Aslan grew up so

    "It's so spicy." Lucas snatched the complimentary glass of lemon water provided at their table after taking two bites of the black lava burger.Aslan glanced at Lucas and chuckled, pleased with Lucas' spicy reaction."I thought with that face you were supposed to be resistant to anything spicy," Aslan said.Lucas gave Aslan an annoyed look as he managed to gulp down the entire glass, "since when do faces and spice resistance have anything to do with each other?"Aslan squared his shoulders, "well, usually there is a connection, like Marlo for example, how does a face like that fit if he can't stand spicy?"Lucas chuckled, "So you think my face is Marlo's type?"Aslan laughed with satisfaction at Lucas' annoyance."Turns out I'm just as scary as Marlo, huh?" Lucas asked.Aslan nodded happily, "yes!"Lucas ruffled Aslan's hair again, "You little..."Aslan, who didn't care if his hair was messed up, went back to eating his burger.

    There was something strange about Aslan, and it was very obvious, at least to Lucas, he could see it very clearly. However, what was even stranger was that the people around Aslan thought it was perfectly normal.Aslan was clearly something out of the ordinary. Lucas could see that from the start. Because who else could own a large, luxurious mansion in an elite neighborhood when they were just starting out business? Lucas thought only Aslan could do that, and their father, Jeffrey Kendrik.Perhaps only Lucas could feel that way. Little Lucas also remembers his father, and he's heard many things about him from Hendry's father.Jeffrey Kendrik, or Jeff was the middle child in the family, his older sister Regina hated him for no reason. Then his own father favored his youngest son, Damian Kendrik.There was a time when Jeff was blamed for Damian getting hurt, his father was so angry that he kicked him out.
