Kenneth started to open his eyes while holding back the feeling of dizziness and pain throughout his body. He tried to get up while feeling his forehead and felt that there were traces of dried blood.
"I have to hurry home, grandma must be feeling anxious now," he said while trying to walk with a limp.
Grandma Ana waited anxiously when suddenly Kenneth heard the sound of the main door opening again but his face was covered in bruises which shocked him.
"I am home! "Sorry for being late coming home," said Kenneth and then just walked in.
“What happened to you? Why is your face so battered like this, Kenneth?" asked Grandma Ana while framing the handsome man's face with both hands.
"I?" Kenneth hasn't explained yet, but Grandma Ana seems to already know that the cause of the wounds on her face were Luke and his brother.
"They are the ones who did this so that you suffer again with these injuries." Kenneth rolled his eyes lazily and then invited his grandmother to sit down because he wanted to tell her the truth.
"Actually, I hit Alex first until he fainted," said Kenneth seriously.
"So you dare to hit him first?" Ana's grandmother was happy because Kenneth had succeeded in showing that he could fight.
“Yes, but I should receive more terrible retribution for that.” Grandma Ana smiled then took the medicine box.
"It's okay now, let grandma give you medicine to make your face better," asked grandma Ana.
"Grandma is slowly getting sick," he said softly. Grandma Ana nodded, her hands were very dexterous in treating Kenneth's wounds.
"You shouldn't deserve this bad treatment, Kenneth, because you are richer than them," said Grandma Ana, surprising the poor man.
"What do you mean Grandma?" Kenneth asked curiously. Grandma Ana took a deep breath, maybe it would be okay if she told a little about Kenneth's true identity.
“Do you know the rich Richard family?” Kenneth nodded his head who didn't know the richest family in his city.
"The Richard family, which owns the largest property business in this city, all have the hope of being able to work in their company where the salaries are well known, including me," explained Kenneth, full of hope.
“That is definitely because you are the son of the Richard family!” Kenneth immediately glared, not believing what Grandma Ana had just said.
"Grandma loves to joke," joked Kenneth.
"Grandma is not kidding!" Grandma Ana answered louder.
"Grandma, don't be angry, I just don't think this conversation is serious because it's like the imagination of someone who wants to get rich quickly." Grandma Ana looked annoyed and immediately closed the medicine box.
“Looks like you've recovered now quickly take some painkillers and go to sleep! You don't have to go to college tomorrow if you're still sick!” Grandma Ana asked as she stood up and then walked away, leaving Kenneth.
"But my face still hurts a lot, Grandma! Help me treat my pain first!” Kenneth whined but Grandma Ana didn't want to care and went into her room. Kenneth reflected and regretted thinking that his grandmother was joking even though this fifty year old woman had never lied to him.
"Mr. Jason should have met his son and explained that Kenneth's life should not be like this," said grandmother Ana, annoyed because she saw that the boy who was supposed to live safely and be rich was actually feeling pain because he was underestimated as a poor person.
On the other hand, Jason Statham and his wife were sitting at the same dining table in silence with each other, busy thinking about their respective problems that had happened recently which disturbed their minds.
"I really don't approve of you going abroad tomorrow because you haven't met Kenneth and seen him in person. What kind of father would have the heart to let a biological child live with an old grandmother for almost eighteen years?” said Clarissa irritably.
"I'm not ready, Clarissa, just like Kenneth," Jason said, making Clarissa glance sharply, showing the emotions that were burning in her eyes.
"It means?" Jason grabbed his wife's hand and held it tightly, hoping that Clarissa wouldn't be angry and prevent him from leaving to work abroad for a week.
"Sorry Clarissa," he whispered softly.
"Jason, you should meet our son first before going abroad because my gut feeling as his mother says that Kenneth is not well!" explained Clarissa.
"But I still have work tonight and I think it will be very busy so I won't be able to Clarissa." Clarissa exhaled roughly while continuing to stare intently at her husband.
"I shouldn't have agreed when you took little Kenneth away from this house if in the end he couldn't come back," added Clarissa.
"Okay, I'll take the time to see it tomorrow morning before I go to the airport," replied Jason obediently.
For the sake of his wife, Jason fulfilled his promise to see Kenneth's condition, but when he was about to get out of the car, a call from his subordinate made him have to drive the car back to the airport.
"Please tell my assistant to monitor Kenneth's condition more intensively and accurately and then report the results to me as quickly as possible!" Jason ordered his driver.
"Okay sir!" Jason felt uneasy because he had decided not to meet Kenneth.
"Kenneth, how are you? "I heard that Alex's men took you to an abandoned warehouse and beat you up?" Leon asked feeling worried.
"I'm better, but today I didn't go to campus because someone was still sick." Leon was relieved to see his friend.
"I want to defend you, Kenneth, but the campus doesn't consider my ramblings because my family's wealth is below that of Luke and Alex's family. They have more power on campus and industry in this city.” Kenneth nodded his face looking discouraged now after hearing the bad news just now.
"So my scholarship will be revoked, huh?" Kenneth's face looked so disappointed.
"Don't be disappointed, Kenneth, higher education will definitely come your way in the future." Grandma Ana hugged Kenneth from behind so that the poor man wouldn't be too sad.
"Grandma must be disappointed in me, right?" Grandma Ana immediately pulled her body to look at Kenneth's face.
"How could grandma be disappointed with you who dared to fight those two evil brothers and made one of them faint," continued Grandma Ana, smiling.
"But my scholarship will be revoked, Grandma," explained Kenneth.
“It's okay because grandma has the money to pay for it so don't worry about it.” Kenneth felt strange and looked at Leon, who also looked confused about where Ana's grandmother got the money to pay for her college education so expensively.
"Let grandma make a drink for Leon and talk as much as you like with Kenneth so that his heart will be happy again," said grandma Ana as she got up and disappeared through the middle door that led to the kitchen. The elderly woman felt nervous because the two young men in front of her made strange faces when looking at her.
"Lately, Grandma Ana always says things that are difficult for me to understand, Leon." Kenneth looked seriously at Leon.
"I think Ana's grandmother is old, Kenneth, maybe she is experiencing memory loss because all this time she has been so strong in earning a living just for you alone that her thoughts are affecting her," replied Leon so that things didn't feel even more confusing.
The two teenagers both shook their heads in confusion at the current situation and then they both chose to leave to look for food and drink. Grandma Ana had been watching Kenneth and Leon until they completely disappeared on the busy highway when suddenly an uninvited guest appeared, a tall, well-built man wearing all black clothes approached her. "Good afternoon, Grandma Ana. We haven't seen each other for a long time!" said Arthur while taking off his sunglasses and smiling kindly. "You've finally come, Arthur. Is this a sign that Master Jason has given orders to pick up his son?" asked Grandma Ana, a little surprised by the man's appearance. "Not yet," Arthur answered casually and walked into the house. "I haven't let you in yet Arthur!" Grandma Ana followed the man and sat in front of him. "I want to ask how Mr. Kenneth is doing now?" Arthur asked, ignoring Grandma Ana's words as he looked around the living room, which was far from luxurious. "His situation is very bad, ever
Jason immediately opened his mouth in disbelief after reading the name listed in the message Arthur sent. "Impossible?! How could this happen that Kenneth is friends with his own mortal enemy?'' Jason felt shocked and slumped in his chair. "But if the last name alone cannot be used as proof that Luke is Aldrich's son, Arthur must find out more information for Kenneth's safety," said Jason, trying to remain calm. Jason gave Arthur another order while massaging his forehead because he felt that it didn't make sense for the game that had been avoided for the sake of Kenneth's future while the results of his suspicions were currently around his son. "I will do my best for the safety of the future heir to the Richard family," muttered Arthur, without wasting time, immediately looking for archives regarding Luke on his computer. "Kenneth, I won't let you do whatever you want!" Luke grabbed the hem of his collar and pushed him until he pressed against the wall, making the young man un
Arthur smiled while driving his car, imagining how disappointed Luke would be because his plans for this afternoon had failed. "Just take it slow, Mr. Arthur will be here soon!" explained Kenneth. "Oh yeah?" Arthur put on a confused face, pretending he didn't know where Ana's grandmother lived. "That's my house." Kenneth pointed to a small house and saw grandmother Ana on the terrace watching Arthur's car. "Arthur?" said grandmother Ana, approaching the car, almost cursing because she was annoyed with Jason but decided not to because Kenneth was with her. "Grandma, Kenneth is home," he said. “Who are you going home with Kenneth?” Grandma Ana asked, pretending to be confused. "Introducing my new lecturer on campus, his name is Mr. Arthur, who is kind and cares about his students," explained Kenneth enthusiastically. "Then invite him into the house, treat him well and give him something to drink, maybe you need to talk to him about a lot of things," said Grandma Ana, glancing at
Arthur headed to the campus archives because many of the lecturers were not in this afternoon, leaving him free to look for information about Luke and Alex. Don't forget to keep the two brothers busy in the library so there won't be time to disturb Kenneth during this break. “Here we meet!” Arthur stopped the movement of his hands, sorting the files one by one. Alex and Luke's complete data has been found and immediately took the picture and sent it to Jason. Since then, Kenneth has been waiting patiently for Arthur until the last class on campus is over. "Can we talk for a moment sir?" Kenneth asked as he approached Arthur towards him. "Please Kenneth," replied Arthur happily. "Why have you been paying too much attention to me all this time?" he asked directly. "Of course I care because you are my student," replied Arthur firmly, looking sharply at Kenneth in front of him. "Only that?" Kenneth asked with emphasis. "Yes." Kenneth swallowed, feeling disappointed because of the
"We're talking about the Richard family's big enemy, Aldrich," answered grandmother Ana. "I don't know that name." Kenneth shook his head. "Then what are the names of Luke and Alex's parents who are campus donors?" asked Arthur. "No one knows his father's name. I have only heard rumors and the campus supports that Luke and Alex have a big influence as the highest financial contributors," explained Kenneth. "If his name is kept secret, it would be strange," thought Arthur silently. Kenneth waited for an explanation but everyone seemed silent and busy with their own thoughts. "So why do Grandma Ana and Mr. Arthur look so Arab?" Kenneth asked again, his face looked very curious. "Didn't grandma tell you that if you have a relationship with the Richard family, that means stay away from anyone connected with the name Aldrich," explained Grandma Ana. Arthur looked confused at Grandma Ana because he heard her explanation so openly even though he didn't even have the courage to tell Ke
At a restaurant not far from Ana's grandmother's house, at one of the tables, two people were having a serious discussion and even the drinks that had been served had not been touched since earlier. “There's no way this could happen. Could it be that Grandma Ana has brainwashed Kenneth?" Arthur asked suspiciously. "Watch your mouth, I can't do it!" Ana's grandmother refused. "Certain?" Grandma Ana glared. "I'm annoyed with Mr. Jason for abandoning Kenneth but I won't make them stay away from each other so don't think badly," concluded Grandma Ana. "I will convey this matter to Mr. Jason." Arthur took a deep breath. Grandma Ana immediately went home after explaining Kenneth's reaction to Richard, who was supposed to be his family, hoping that Mr. Jason would intervene to solve the problem himself. "Where are you from, Grandma?" asked Kenneth, already standing near the door. "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Kenneth turned his face to look at the clock on the wall. "It's not
“So Richard's family didn't make an official announcement about who the missing boy really was?” Alex asked. "Not yet. "The media only reports news without evidence, not even photos," answered Luke. They looked at each other as if they had the same plan. “Then why did we refrain from hitting Kenneth?” Alex clasped his hands into fists in front of Luke's face. “Your hands must be tingling.” Alex got up from his seat and started the action with Luke, who couldn't stand still without disturbing Kenneth. "What do you want Luke?" Kenneth asked, looking at Luke and Alex alternately. "I'm still really curious about why the lecturer told us to respect you even though you were just the poorest student until now," said Luke while observing the appearance of dozens of Kenneth. "I don't know," answered Kenneth, making Alex hit the table hard in a show of emotion. "Answer seriously, don't irritate me, Kenneth!" Alex shouted louder and the whole class was very shocked. “Stop it. Nothing sho
Richard's family's car was already rolling down the road towards the most famous shopping center in the city of Grazz."I really hope that at this first meeting we can have fun and our relationship will become closer," said Clarissa, daring to touch Kenneth's arm as they got out of the car together."Yes, ma'am," answered Kenneth uncertainly as he felt Clarissa's hand wrap around his arm slowly getting tighter.In the shopping center, everyone looked at Clarissa, who was known to be young, beautiful and rich as the wife of the most successful property entrepreneur of this century, who was seen holding a beautiful young man without feeling awkward at all, which certainly made people curious."Could it be that I saw Kenneth walking with a beautiful woman named Clarissa Richard?" Elena watched without blinking as she dropped the shopping bag without realizing it hit her own foot."My leg hurts so this isn't a dream and Kenneth is a member of the Richard family," said Elena, wanting to sc
Six months later, Kenneth travelled to a building to watch the country's biggest fashion show. A round of applause from the audience and the fashion world brought the afternoon's festivities to a close. One by one, the beautiful models finished their work and Kate walked over to Kenneth, who was sitting on one of the guest benches."Dad told me you had an important meeting this afternoon, so why are you here?" Kate asked in surprise."I told Delon to take care of all my work," Kenneth replied casually. "You're being irresponsible," Kate replied sharply. "I'm always responsible, that's why I'm here to take you home." Kenneth smiled."I can walk home alone and no one will bother me like they did a few months ago," he said. Kenneth followed Kate and persuaded her to walk home with him. "Have you seen the latest news about Aldrich?" Kate asked."No," Kenneth shook his head as he started the engine. "He's crazy now, calling his kids names all the time," Kate explained."He must miss
Kenneth had not brought a bodyguard with him, feeling that he would be safe if he did not expect to meet Luke on his way to the city park, so he quickly picked up his mobile phone and called one of his aides. "Alright, I'll turn on my mobile's tracking point and come over right away, as Kate's with me right now," Kenneth said and the call was immediately disconnected. "Where are you going?" Kate stopped Kenneth."I have to go after Luke," Kenneth replied."No, it's too dangerous," Kate persuaded Kenneth, hoping he would wait for his bodyguard to protect him. "In fact, it will be even more dangerous if Luke and his brother escape," Kenneth replied confidently. Kenneth ran off and Kate followed him with a sense of trepidation.Kenneth deliberately bumped into Luke until the drinking water he had bought spilled on the floor. "Hey, when you're walking, you should look ahead, not bump into people carelessly!" Luke shouted angrily at Kenneth. "Whoa! How did you get here?" asked Kenne
The pitch-black night in the abandoned warehouse saw Aldrich arrive alone that afternoon, as Delon had ordered."You're very brave, but I'm braver than you, old man!" greeted Kenneth in the middle of the dark room, welcoming Aldrich's first face-to-face meeting under very different circumstances. "That voice?" asked Aldrich hesitantly as he still vaguely saw Kenneth standing in the middle of the room."Hi," Kenneth greeted after the lights came on in the room."So you're the one who dared to kidnap Alex and Luke," Aldrich was shocked as he couldn't believe that Jason Statham's son was so brave."Of course. I'm sure you already know the reason." Kenneth tried to get Aldrich to talk about the crime.Aldrich saw his sons bound and their faces covered."What do you want? Tell me and let my kids go!" Aldrich pleaded."I want to torture and kidnap them like you did my father a while ago," Kenneth said. "Your father deserved to be kidnapped and made to suffer because he didn't want to be m
"It's just a list, and there's no way the police will dare arrest my children," Aldrich said haughtily, staring arrogantly, thinking that everything was still under his control, unaware of the presence of Kenneth's spies, who continued to monitor the movement.But Kenneth, having run out of patience, hired a big lawyer to protect him from the evil plans that would follow."I want you to kidnap Alex and Luke," said Kenneth, who had managed to get the two evil brothers wanted by the police. Kenneth did not tell Kate about the kidnapping of the Aldrich children because his heart was already very upset about the loss his mother had suffered.Even when he remembered the fight with Jason, because his father did not want to deal with the police, he wanted to destroy Aldrich and take revenge on him.Aldrich is still very confident that David Sanchez will always be there to protect him from the police.That night, Alex and Luke had spent a lot of money on a party in a five-star restaurant, ce
Kenneth arrived at a tavern quite far from the bustling city of Grazz in search of the whereabouts of Kate Morgan, who was dressed in men's clothing."Turns out Kate's over there," Kenneth said as he sat down in front of her. "Leon couldn't come here because there are some thugs hanging around his house," Kate explained."What!" Kenneth was quite surprised because Leon never sent a message and he was so busy that he didn't have time to ask about his best friend's condition. "Since Ethan's uncle died, it seems that Aldrich has been looking for him more and more, not wanting anyone to get in the way of his illegal business." Kate tried to guess, then drank irritably until her drink ran out."Would you like another drink?" Kate nodded. Kenneth then ordered drinks and some snacks for the afternoon and talked about something that Kate realised was very important."I have this video evidence, listen carefully, it seems it can be used as evidence of Aldrich's crimes against your family."
When the day's work was done, Kenneth reflected on the content of his father's message, which made no sense.First it was asking him to divert all the company's funds into one account, and now it was demanding to know his whereabouts while he was out of town. "I'm pretty sure those messages weren't from Dad." Then, as he was about to check the strange messages again, Kenneth saw a new number claiming to be his father."Did you find out what happened at your house, Mr Kenneth?" asked Delon, suddenly running over to surprise his boss, who was sitting dreamily in his chair. "No," Kenneth replied briefly."There was a massive break-in at your house and your mum and dad's mobile phones were apparently taken because of that strange message from Mr Jason's number," Delon explained."What? How do you know that?" Kenneth stood up immediately, his face furious."I got a message from Mrs Clarissa's new number, and because I was afraid it was a fraudulent message, I finally contacted them via
"I'm sure they'll be sound asleep tonight," Margareth said with a wicked smile as she was about to throw the packet of sleeping pills away, but was afraid of being caught so she put them in her pocket and hurried out of the dining room before Jason or Clarissa caught her. "Dinner's ready," Clarissa said."Good," said Jason, putting down the book he was reading and walking into the dining room with Clarissa. The unsuspecting couple of the Richard family enjoyed the meal, occasionally talking about Kenneth who couldn't be with them tonight because he had to go out of town. "The food you make is always so good, I feel lucky to have you as my wife," Jason said very romantically, suddenly yawning widely, feeling very sleepy. "I also feel like going to bed soon." Clarissa felt the same, her eyes so heavy that she had to close them for a while."You look so cute." Jason yawned again as his sleepiness grew."We'd better go to bed now," Clarissa said.As planned tonight, Margareth showed
"I feel like I don't need an explanation because everything is clear, so you are the one who protected Aldrich from the law so that the bad guy can breathe very freely until now because of you, Mr David," Jason said, holding back his emotions and almost clenching his hand into a fist to punch David Sanchez in the face."Stop it father, it will not change the situation that has happened to our family," Kenneth stopped him. "Wait, please explain to me what you meant!" pleaded Maxim with a worried look on his face."So if Aldrich is imprisoned, there is a possibility that I will also be implicated in his case," David explained, looking at his son very seriously. Maxim couldn't say anything as he stared in confusion until his knees felt weak and he had to sit down in a chair to bear the burden of thoughts that had unexpectedly befallen his family. "But I've calmed down now, because if the worst happens, there's already someone like you who can definitely take your place in the company.
"I am a man who is destined not to be able to trust anyone Maxim," said Kenneth making Jason feel the same vibration of feeling.Jason never trusted anyone always put his instincts and reality first."Even though I wouldn't dare to do anything, especially with Mr. Jason Statham here," explained Maxim in a disappointed tone."It's not you who will hurt him, but maybe someone else." Kenneth patted the shoulder of the man who had been his best friend for several months."And I also have to protect my father because he is with me right now," explained Kenneth again so that Maxim could better understand the worries he was feeling.Maxim nodded then invited a few guards to guard Kenneth and Jason Statham into the treatment room to the hospital's security limit.David Sanchez's condition was already so good, he looked like he was lying down accompanied by his wife."Good evening, father. I brought some very important guests for you." Maxim invited Kenneth and Jason to come in.Delon followed
