Aarav was stunned for a few seconds.
Gradually, the atmosphere of tension in this room faded. Nobody said anything. Prisoner Man 2233 took a step back in the same shock. While the other three prisoners just stood there without saying anything.
"How come..." Prisoner Man 2233 trailed off. He looked at Aarav and the Chief Warden who were talking.
"Who exonerated me?" Aarav immediately interrupts Prisoner Man 2233's words.
The warden who spoke lowered his hands slowly. The look on his face showed hesitance to explain to Aarav.
"I can't explain to you," replied the warden. Through his sharp eyes, the warden continued, "But, he has brought evidence that you did not carry out the illegal business accusation."
Hearing the warden's explanation, Aarav still couldn't believe it. How can someone set him free? So far, Aarav only knows people who always underestimate him. He had no connections with other important people.
Moreover, Ella's family.
Aarav finds it impossible for Ella's family to exonerate him about the illegal business. So, who else could possibly free him?
"Why can't I know who the person who freed me is?" asked Aarav, his tone rising slightly.
The warden in front of Aarav keeps shaking his head. Even though he hesitated, the warden's sharp eyes made him look firm and didn't want to say anything.
"You're acquitted. My only job is to convey that to you." In one stroke of firmness, the warden seemed to be giving Aarav a warning not to talk further.
Aarav frowned deeper. "Wait, I was released just like that?"
"Hey you idiot! Didn't you hear what the warden said?" Male Prisoner 2233 finally spoke after being lost in daydreams.
Aarav's attention shifted to Male Inmate 2233 in front of him. The convict man showed annoyance.
"You want to stay in here?" said Male Convict 2233 once again. "Okay, then you'll stay in here with us."
Before the argument between Male Convict 2233 and Aarav broke out again, the Chief Warden in their midst immediately pushed Aarav away. He carried Aarav's body, forced him to move to get out of this prison cell.
"Master, please tell me, who is the person who has helped me?" Aarav urged the Warden beside him.
But the Chief Warden beside Aarav doesn't want to make a sound. While taking Aarav out of the jail cell, the Chief Warden signaled the other three wardens to follow him outside.
Aarav doesn't know why the warden doesn't want to tell. His mind was completely disturbed now, wondering which of the people he knew helped him get out of prison.
Are the people from his company?
Unfortunately, Aarav too finds it impossible. If the factory where he works doesn't provide clarification that he is not involved in an illegal business, then the people in the factory are clearly not helping him.
"I was asked not to tell you about it," the Chief Warden replied. "After leaving this place, don't question anything. You're free, that should be enough."
No. Aarav still wants to know who freed him.
Somehow, there was something that stuck in Aarav's feelings. It's too impossible if Aarav can be exonerated in just a short time.
"Oh, I'm breaking the news from someone who released you."
Aarav's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when the Warden suddenly tapped him on the shoulder and stopped walking. The Chief Warden took something out of his uniform pocket.
A paper.
The Warden gives Aarav a paper in a box. However, the expression on his face that was originally firm slowly turned into one of pity.
"It seems that from this place, you can go to the place written in this letter," continued the Chief Warden explaining.
Aarav feels his feelings getting bad.
It took a few seconds for Aarav to finally receive the boxed letter the Chief Warden had given him. Aarav was still looking at the Warden curiously when his hand unfolded the paper.
As the folded paper unfolded, Aarav saw someone's handwriting. It was quite a mess, but Aarav could still read it dimly.
Dear Mr. Aarav.
I know you have been wondering and feeling suspicious after getting this letter. However, you need to know, I didn't write lies in the letter to frame you or harm you. I just want to say that you should come to the Karlolinskad Hospital. There is news that the doctor will give about your mother's condition.
'My mother's condition? This person knows Karlolinskad Hospital, where my mother is being treated,' Aarav thought uneasily.
After reading this letter in his hand, in just a second, Aarav's mind immediately diverged. Who wrote this letter? Was it the person who wrote this letter who released it?
If so, how did that person know about his mother's condition?
Aarav spontaneously squeezed the letter he was holding. His heart was pounding fast as a feeling of discomfort attacked his feelings.
Without thinking much, Aarav immediately ran from the Head Warden. He didn't care about the other wardens who were passing by or on guard. Aarav only wants to go to the Hospital to meet his mother.
Also, meet who someone who acquitted himself of false accusations.
Patient's name:Juliana Kurt Hangrill.Disease:Leaky heart disease.Total Cost of Treatment (Surgery, Medicine, Outpatient, and Intensive Hospital):$22,694.85Patient Status:Died at 09:12 pm.Aarav's heart sank after getting a notification paper from the hospital. Aarav froze on the spot while holding the history data of the patient who is none other than his mother."We have tried to perform an operation to save the patient's illness, but because the operation was carried out beyond the maximum day limit so that the patient's heart condition was getting weaker, the patient could no longer be saved."Aarav doesn't know what to say. His gaze lingered on the caption 'dead' under the patient's status. Guilt hit his heart because he remembered the warning the doctor gave him last month."Seeing that his condition was quite severe, we had to perform surgery on the patient.""But I don't have the money to pay for the operation yet. Is there still a chance for me to make some extra money?
"Aarav, my condolences on the loss of your mother."Juliana's funeral, Aarav's mother, was very quiet. Besides Aarav, there are only two siblings of his late father. Not many families come, because Aarav doesn't have many people who care about him."Thank you Aunt Racha" Aarav replied without looking at Aunt Racha.Aunt Racha exhaled while lowering her hand on Aarav's right shoulder. He looked at Aarav somewhat annoyed, also feeling guilty."I'm sorry Auntie for not being able to help with your mother's medical expenses," Aunt Racha said again.Aarav looks like he doesn't want to respond to Aunt Racha's words. His gaze remained fixed on the tombstone bearing Juliana's name. There was a rather large bouquet of pink flowers placed in front of Aarav's mother's tombstone.While looking at Juliana's grave, Aarav still thinks about an anonymous person helping him. Since he was in the hospital to carry out the process of going to Juliana's funeral, until now that Juliana has been buried, no
So, Marcolin is Watson's subordinate who is ordered to meet Aarav. Marcolin paid the entire payment for Juliana's treatment costs. More precisely, it was Watson who gave the money to Marcolin.Not only that. What exonerates Aarav from false accusations is Marcolin as well.Aarav doesn't know where Marcolin can get proof that he is not in the illegal narcotics business. However, Aarav believes that Watson has so much power that he can bring himself out of prison bars."You couldn't possibly have connections with someone as important as Watson," said Aarav. Of course, so far Juliana doesn't look like important people in business."Mr. Watson," Marcolin corrected in a slightly irritated tone. "You have to address him properly. He's the one who helped you."Aarav really didn't care to hear Marcolin's orders. He rolled his eyes, between annoyed and lazy."Whatever it is, I still call him by name. The most important thing is that I don't call him by names other than his name," argued Aarav.
[WATSON WILLIAMEXECUTIVE MANAGERThe Washlon Tech Company]Aarav reads the business card in his hand repeatedly. However Aarav thought of how Juliana could get to know Watson, he still couldn't find a logical possibility. He even slapped his cheeks twice because he felt that all this incident was a dream.Unfortunately, Aarav knows what he is facing now is reality."Mother... why didn't you tell me anything?" muttered Aarav while walking down the sidewalk of the shophouses. "I think, although my life is not easy, there are no confusing secret things like this."Now, Aarav really couldn't think straight.His feelings are worried. Even though he had firmly rejected Marcolin's offer, for some reason it still felt like something was bothering him. Especially when Marcolin mentioned his father's death.Has his family always had connections with people in big companies?So, why did his parents continue to live a life of poverty?"Hah..." Aarav let out a rough breath as he raised his head.
In the end Aarav has no other choice after incident after incident happened to him since yesterday. "Mr. Watson, the person you wished to meet has arrived." After Marcolin said through the screen of the box that served as a communication link, a towering and large door slowly opened. Aarav could hardly believe the shape of Watson's office had a door with a three-dimensional carved Greek motif, gilded at several points. Aarav somehow became restless while waiting for the door to open. The location of Watson's office which was quite far from the general location of the company's employees made him unsure. 'Is this person going to harm me?' That's what Aarav thought as he looked at the door. After both sides of the door opened to reveal a wide expanse of room, Aarav was taken aback. But his surprise didn't last long after Marcolin tapped him on the shoulder. Aarav follows Marcolin's steps. Behind him were four male bodyguards. I don't know if Watson was really worried about his saf

Aarav can't let them live a quiet life, whereas he must end up facing Juliana's death."System installation on your phone is complete."

For some reason, the punishment for the first mission given really weighed him down.How could he return a million dollars to Watson? And, why should the punishment and mission given to him be difficult?Aarav took a deep breath. When the elevator doors opened, Aarav took a limp step. He paid absolutely no attention to anyone walking up and down the Watson corporate lobby floor. Aarav only thinks about what possibilities he can do to spend a million dollars.Buying a house?Buy a car?Or, just donate all the money to a special donation agency?Aarav's heavy sigh escapes. Aarav is completely clueless, how can he take care of buying a house and a car? Even as long
Aarav wouldn't be too surprised if only Marcolin came up to him.What made Aarav flinch was that Watson was also next to Marcolin. Watson's gaze was sharp towards Hansen who immediately bowed to him. The arrival of Watson and three other bodyguards apart from Marcolin made Hansen's face immediately show a sense of reluctance."What are you doing here, Master Hansen?" he asked. His tone remained calm, but Hansen felt nervous."Ah... I was just saying hello to an old friend," Hansen answered while looking at Aarav. "Isn't it, Aarav? We haven't seen each other in a long time."Aarav still felt uneasy about his and Hansen's situation just now. But because Watson didn't want Hansen to be suspected, Aarav just nodded his head."That's right. We chatted pleasantly, Mr. Watson."Watson raised both eyebrows, showing disbelief. He secretly reads Aarav's awkward gesture, then finds out that something happened between Hansen and Aarav."I didn't expect you to be Mr. Aarav's old friend Mr. Hansen.
