PREVIOUSLY!Daren was enjoying a cup of hot coffee in his study while examining the documents that would be discussed in the meeting that would be held soon by his father, Varro with Arsen.Unintentionally, Daren's hand hit the table, and the coffee spilled on Arsen's coat and shoes that were there."Sorry, Arsen," Daren said, "I really didn't mean to."Arsen could only smile and nod, "It's okay, Mr. Daren. Just a small problem.""Arsen, your suit and shoes are dirty. I don't want my assistant's appearance to be messy at the meeting," Daren said while thinking hard. "Well, it looks like you just take off your dirty suit and shoes. Then you can wear my suit and shoes to the meeting. Later, I will ask the servant at home to deliver a change of clothes and shoes for me," said Daren immediately took off his suit and shoes.Arsen looked doubtful, "Mr. Daren, no need to bother. It's just a little dirty," said Arsen refused."No, Arsen. You are my assistant, and your appearance is very imp
"Naumi, I was indeed at the club. But I don't know who the man was who brought you to the club room. Besides, I went home early that night," Daren said.What Daren said was, of course, all lies. Daren wasn't ready to tell Naumi the truth if it was him that night.Daren's name hadn't been cleared in the murder case. He was sure Naumi's mother and father would be opposed to Naumi dating Daren, let alone getting married. "Then I'll go first," Naumi said. Immediately one of Daren's hands pulled Naumi's arm until she fell into Daren's arms. Their eyes met. The image of that hot night came back to Daren's mind. "It's getting late, Naumi. You should go home. How about I take you home?" Daren offered, still looking at Naumi. Naumi nodded, still staring at Daren. She could feel the breath of the man who looked so perfect in her eyes. Then Daren released Naumi from his embrace. Then, he took Naumi by the hand and brought her into his car. The next day. Arsen had finished being buried in
"You calm down a bit, Laura. I have an idea! And I'm sure it will make Daren's name even worse in the public eye. Especially now that he's the head of the company," Charlie said with a mischievous smile. "What else are you planning, Charlie? I'm sure your plan will fail. I'm tired, I'm sick of it!" said Laura trying to calm her overflowing emotions. "You'll see, Laura," Charlie said confidently. Before he carries out his plan, Charlie will find out first so that his plan looks perfect. Elsewhere, Daren met Inspector Barra. Earlier, Barra had asked Daren to meet her at their usual meeting place. "What is it, Barra?" asked Daren after coming face to face with Barra. "Take a look at this CCTV footage. Do you recognize him?" Inspector Barra showed the CCTV footage on her phone screen to Daren. As Daren watched the footage, he noticed that the person in the video was the perpetrator. "There's no mistaking it, Barra. That man is Charlie," Daren said, his hands clenching into tight f
Charlie had just arrived home, only to find that Laura, his wife, was not there. [Where are you?] Charlie sent a chat to Laura. Two blue ticks. [I'm still at the boutique. Why?] Laura replied to Charlie's chat. [Have you heard the viral news?] [Yes] [But I don't think it's important] [I want Daren dead] [Dropping his good name, doesn't make me happy, Charlie] Reading Laura's reply, Charlie started to get annoyed. His efforts were not appreciated by her at all. [You must kill Daren immediately] [If possible, you should also kill Inspector Barra] Laura sent another chat to Charlie after she saw her chat was only read by Charlie. [Okay, I'll definitely do that] This time, Laura did not reply to Charlie's chat. "Do I have to kill Daren?" Laura said to herself. Meanwhile, Daren and Varro had arrived at the hospital. They went straight to the doctor's room that treated Arsen, Daren's assistant who died after being exposed to cyanide poison. Upon meeting the doct
"What do you mean, Young Master Davidson?" asked one of the reporters. They still did not understand Daren's statement; it was too ambiguous. "Yes! I'm just a victim of slander. In the case of the late Vivian's death too, I was just a victim of someone's slander. Because I had strong evidence of his crimes, he tried to kill me. Even to the extent of spreading slander in the media about that I had poisoned the late Arsen," said Daren firmly. "If it is true that you are a victim of slander. Why don't you show us the evidence?" The question was asked by a female journalist. "You just wait! I will definitely reveal the truth. Sooner or later, you'll know who the real killer is," Daren smiled. His face looked calm, not depressed at all. Because he was innocent. "So... I beg you to be patient. You don't need to ask for clarification. You'd better disperse!" said Daren. The journalists who gathered in front of Arsen's house obeyed Daren's request. They left the place and would wait for
"Where are you going, Daren? Make is on its way here," Varro asked when he saw Daren hurriedly leaving. "Daren has a few things to do, dad. If Make comes later, I'll tell him to wait," said Daren hurriedly. Daren wanted to see Naumi, he knew the cafe. He hoped she was still at the cafe. Daren traveled to the cafe on a sport bike to make it faster, avoiding traffic as well. "I hope Naumi is still at the cafe."Daren sped up so that he could meet Naumi as soon as possible. But suddenly Daren stopped his journey. He pulled his bike over to the side of the road when he saw a beggar sitting on the asphalt blowing on his knees. Daren got off his bike and felt sorry for the beggar. "What's wrong with you?" asked Daren after coming face to face with the beggar woman. "I hurt my knee, sir, a car hit me," the woman moaned through the pain. The street was quite deserted. Daren felt sorry for the woman wincing in pain. "Alright, I'll help you!" Daren tried to help the filthy woman to he
Daren had arrived at the mansion. In the living room was Make, his new assistant, Arsen's replacement. "You're home?" asked Varro in surprise, having been gone only an hour. His son was back again. "Yes, father, there was an unpleasant incident on the road." Daren complained, his hands massaging his head. The lingering effects of the aroma therapy made Daren's head still feel dizzy. "What happened, Daren?" asked Varro. "Daren was scammed by a beggar woman," Daren said. Varro and Make looked at each other, not understanding what Daren was saying. "What do you mean, Daren? You don't understand?" asked Varro frowning. Daren told his father and Make what had just happened. "Are you sure that the beggar woman is really a beggar? I mean, are you not suspicious of her?" said Make, feeling ambiguous. "What Make said has some truth to it, Daren. It's possible that the beggar woman was sent by someone," said Varro sensing what Make was feeling. Daren was silent for a moment, digesting
"You mean you will reveal the truth about Vivian's death?" asked Varro. "Yes, father. Now Daren wants to meet Barra first," said Daren. Varro nodded, then he asked Make to take Daren to the place Daren had promised with inspector Barra. "Yes, Mr. Varro!" said Make. Daren and Make left immediately. Daren couldn't wait to discuss his decision with Inspector Barra. Arriving at his destination, Daren immediately met Barra, it turned out that the man was already sitting casually waiting for Daren's arrival. "You've finally arrived, Daren," said Barra. "So how was it?" asked Barra. Daren smiled and grinned. He told Barra his plan. *** "Are you ready?" asked Barra in a loud voice. "I'm ready, Barra!" replied Daren firmly. Then Daren and Inspector Barra were standing in front of dozens of reporters and netizens who were eager to know the clarification that would be delivered by both of them, said to be about the case of Vivian's death by cyanide poisoning. At the time, D
Daren and Naumi take their children, Alexander, Lucas, Bella and Rose to the place where Daren's mother and father last met. Although Daren had met his mother and father in a dream last night. However, it felt like something was missing if he didn't visit the grave of his father and mother. "Hello, Dad, Hello Mom," Daren said as he placed flowers near his mother and father's tombstones. The children were in the baby box trolley. Daren's eyes were already red. Although he tried to be sincere. But it was still difficult. After he achieved tremendous success in a short time, but unfortunately the success that Daren had achieved, without being accompanied by his father and mother. "Dad, Mom, Naumi and Daren are here to introduce our children, grandchildren to you," Naumi said, seeing that Daren seemed unable to speak, so Naumi took over. Daren wiped his tears, then kissed t
Daren stood in front of his bedroom window, looking out, thinking about his tumultuous life journey. Soon, he would be inaugurating five hotels and five restaurants that he had built with his team. However, before the big event, there was one thing he needed to do. "Mr. Daren, are you ready?" Make appeared in the doorway, interrupting Daren's reverie. "Yes, Make. Let's go," Daren replied as he grabbed his jacket. The two of them left for the hospital where Charlie, Daren's ex-in-law, was being treated. Charlie, who had slandered Daren for the murder of his mother-in-law, was now lying weak, no longer having any strength. The police said that Charlie's condition had deteriorated over the past week. When they arrived, the police took Make and Daren to Charlie's room. The man woke up and looked at Daren with tired eyes. "Daren...," Charlie whispered hoarsely. Daren looked at Charlie with a sardonic gaze, but actually he was very sorry, "Charlie, I didn't come to bring up the
Chapter 179It had been two months since the last meeting, and the atmosphere at all the project sites was full of enthusiasm and dedication. The admin staff, laborers, and all the workers and teams involved were enthusiastic about completing the hotel and restaurant construction projects in five cities.At one of the project sites, one of the head supervisors stood in the middle of the field with the laborers who were busy working. "Come on, everyone! We're already at 90%! We can finish this on time if we keep working with this kind of enthusiasm!"A laborer who was transporting materials shouted, "We will do it, sir, so that this project can be completed as soon as our superiors want!"At another location, one of the admins in charge of organizing logistics was talking to a truck driver. "Make sure all these materials get to the site, no delays as ordered by our superiors!"&nb
A few weeks later, Daren and Naumi had a big party prepared by Make and Evelyn. It was held in a large garden that had been beautifully decorated with flowers and sparkling lights. The party was to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Davidson company and to celebrate the birth of Naumi and Daren's quadruplets. Guests begin to arrive, dressed in outfits that match the theme of the event. The atmosphere tonight is absolutely buzzing.Daren and Naumi stood at the entrance, welcoming the guests with big smiles.Their four babies were in baby boxes. "Welcome, thank you for coming," Daren said as he shook the hands of the guests. Naumi was so happy tonight, she looked like a fairytale queen. In the midst of the crowd, Make and Evelyn made sure all the preparations went smoothly."Make sure there's food on every table," Make told the catering staff. "And don't forget to always check the drinks."As for Evelyn, she directed the guests to the seating area. "Please sit here, the show
Under a cloudy sky, Daren and Naumi walked slowly towards Green-Wood Cemetery, the final resting place of Daren's parents. Their graves were located side by side, with sturdy and well-organized tombstones.Daren grasped Naumi's hand tightly. "This is my mom and dad's grave, honey."Naumi nodded slowly, sensing the sadness on Daren's face. Then, Daren and Naumi knelt in front of the tombstones."Mom, Dad, this is Daren. I've come with Naumi, my wife who is pregnant with your grandchild. Daren wants to ask for your blessings and prayers so that Naumi's pregnancy is healthy, runs smoothly and our baby is born healthy," said Daren. "Please pray for Naumi, so that Naumi is strong and healthy," Naumi added. Daren and Naumi took a moment of silence, letting the silence speak between them. After a while, Daren hugged Naumi tightly."I wish my mom and dad were still alive," Daren whispered.Naumi smiled softly. "God loves your mom and dad more, honey, that's why God took your mom and dad. Y
The next morning, the doctor came to check Naumi's condition. Daren sat by his wife's bedside, waiting anxiously as the doctor performed the examination."How is she, Doctor?" asked Daren in a worried tone.The doctor smiled soothingly. "Miss Naumi's condition is stable, but she still needs intensive care at least until the day after tomorrow. We want to make sure everything goes well."Naumi breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's explanation. "Thank you, Doctor."Daren decided to have a further consultation with the doctor after the examination was over. "Doctor, may I speak with you privately?""Of course, Mr. Daren," the doctor replied. They moved to a corner of the room to talk further."Actually, Naumi has had two miscarriages before," Daren said in a low voice. "I'm very worried that it could happen again."The doctor nodded with understanding. "I understand your concern, Mr. Daren. We will do our best to maintain Naumi's condition and her pregnancy. There are some things we
Two months later, at the Davidson Mansion, Naumi sat in the dining room, feeling sick to her stomach. Her head felt dizzy, and her vision was foggy."Evelyn, I don't feel well," Naumi said, holding her stomach.Evelyn immediately approached, worried. "Naumi, you look pale. What are you feeling?""My stomach is really upset, and my head is dizzy. I think I need to lie down," Naumi replied in a weak voice.Evelyn helped Naumi up and led her to the room. However, before they reached the room, Naumi suddenly vomited and then fainted."Naumi!" Evelyn shouted in panic. She immediately called the maid. "Quick, help me get Naumi to the car. We need to take her to the hospital."The waiter immediately helped lift Naumi up and carried her to the car. Evelyn drove the car quickly, heading for the nearest hospital.Meanwhile, outside the city, Daren and Make were checking on the construction of the project that had only reached thirty-five percent. "Mr. Daren, we are short of materials and labor
Daren immediately contacted Evelyn and Make, asking them to meet at a café. Evelyn arrived first, looking agitated and worried."Daren, what's wrong? Why did you call me here?" asked Evelyn in a worried tone."Take it easy, Evelyn. I just want to talk about something important," Daren replied calmly.Not long after, Make arrived. He looked nervous, but tried to keep his composure. Daren directed them to a table located in the corner of the café, ensuring that their conversation would not be interrupted."Mr. Daren, is there anything important you want to tell me and Evelyn?" asked Make, trying to hide his nervousness in front of Daren. "I want us to discuss your relationship," Daren said firmly."What do you mean, Daren?" asked Evelyn with trembling lips."I saw you two on top of the building." Daren smiled a little, he showed a photo of Evelyn and Make making out, Daren had captured the hot and passionate scene. Evelyn and Make looked at each other worriedly. "Daren, I can explain,
Daren entered the meeting room with a stern demeanor. Inside, the replacement architects were waiting, ready to present. Make and Billy were also present. "Good afternoon everyone," greeted Daren in a firm tone, "I'd like us to start by discussing the new design concept. The previous concept will not be used anymore, and I hope you are ready for this challenge," Daren said seriously. An architect named Malvinas came forward. "Young master, I have prepared some ideas. I hope that these concepts will match your company's vision," he said calmly. Soon Malvinas began his presentation, showing various sketches and design concepts on the screen. Daren watched closely, making a few suggestions and corrections here and there. "I want there to be more green elements in this design," Daren says, pointing to the sketches on the screen. "Parks and open spaces are very important for this project.""Sure, Mr. Daren. I will add more green elements according to your request," Malvinas replied. "
