"I'm someone Rudi helped," Hailey replied.Darren was silent when he heard the answer given by Hailey. He didn't know whether Hailey's words could be trusted or not."Don't lie," Darren said quietly while drinking the mineral water that was in front of him.Hailey shook her head. "I'm not lying. So far, I have never looked for you for fear of our safety. However, when I saw you dare to appear on television, I was sure that you already had courage and strength."Darren chose to remain silent. He watched Hailey carefully; he didn't want to fall into her trap."I'm not Rudi's son, and if I may ask, how have you been helped?" Darren asked curiously. Darren could see that Hailey's eyes were full of revenge, but not for him."I know you and had met you a week before the incident. So I really know what you are like," Hailey replied."Who are you?" asked Darren again, repeating his question."I am Rudi's second wife."Gosh!Again, Darren's heart felt like letting go when he heard Hailey's con
"For what? You and your child are not dead; it doesn't even have the slightest effect," Darren asked quietly.Actually, Darren already felt lazy and bored talking to Hailey. In fact, none of the work was finished because Hailey never left her room."Our lives are ruined; we have to live away from this city just to save ourselves," Hailey replied."Why not help me at the trial?" Darren asked again.At this time, Darren felt that there was nothing more to hide from Hailey; even indirectly, he had admitted to Hailey that he was Rudi Zervano's son."What can I do against those who have money and power? All we have is that we will die together," Hailey answered later.Darren just nodded his head; Hailey's words were true. Even he was able to live this time because Amina changed his data, and they also lived outside the city."I can't decide anything at the moment because I'm at work. I'm preparing a driver to take Mrs. Hailey to my house," said Darren, who then grabbed the telephone receiv
"Can't you just let me rest in peace?" Darren asked no one.Daffa looked at Darren strangely when he heard the words that came out of his mouth."Not you!" Darren said this when he realized that Daffa was still staring at him closely.Darren even smiled when he saw Daffa's expression, which looked awkward and awry."Just now it was Nana who called; it just pissed me off. When she was asked to be nice, she made trouble. And she thought that because she's an artist, I'm afraid. Now she's the one who's at a loss herself," Darren continued, spilling the anguish that was in his head.It turned out that the problem with Nana wasn't over yet; the artist still couldn't accept the mess. Though the news had now been forgotten by everyone.People are tired of the dramas of artists who always make a scene and, in the end, try to put all the blame on the weak.Even Darren received support from the public and Nana's fans because she dared to tell the truth in public. And don't give in to the gimmic
"You know?" Daffa whispered to Darren because Daffa was surprised when he saw Arras greeting Darren."Yes, he is one of Duta Bank's staff," Darren answered with a smile.Arras chose not to sit at the same table as Darren. It looks like the two of them are quite professional at pretending. They only indicated that they knew each other briefly.Darren took out his cell phone and typed something.'[I need to meet with you. I have things to discuss. One of them is a woman named Hailey.]'Send!After typing that, Darren immediately sent it to Arras. Even though they had met in person, they were not free to discuss specific matters.Seen at the adjacent table, Arras was reading a message and then smiling. However, Arras did not reply."After this, it looks like I'll be going home sooner," Darren said to Daffa after finishing the food in front of him.Daffa just nodded her head. "Wanna go back to taking care of that woman?""Yes, there are many things that I haven't asked her. Because if you
Amina shook her head and was about to leave Darren, but Darren held her hand."Ma'am, Darren won't be angry. Darren just wants to know; please tell me," Darren pleaded."She used to come to the orphanage with your daddy," Amina answered later.Darren brushed his hair roughly and sighed in annoyance."It turns out that Papa really betrayed Mama," Darren muttered under his breath as he walked unsteadily into his house.He hoped that Hailey was lying, but when he heard it from Amina's mouth, everything went wrong. There's nothing he can deny anymore. There was no way Amina would lie.Amina stroked Darren's shoulder gently. Before, Amina didn't know that Hailey was a second wife. All she knows is that the husband and wife are good people who regularly donate at their home."Don't hold grudges. Maybe your father had his own reasons for marrying her," said Amina, trying to strengthen Darren."Poor mama, betrayed for so many years. Even to death, she didn't know that her husband was having
"You kicked me out?" Hailey asked, feeling offended by Darren's question.Darren smiled and shook his head; he had no intention of shooing her away. It's just that at this moment, Darren feels there's nothing more he needs to hear from Hailey. Everything is clear: Hailey is indeed his stepmother.Even Darren felt that he no longer needed to hear an explanation from Arras. But, because he already made an appointment, Darren will definitely still visit his father's only friend."Don't be offended; I didn't kick you out. It's just that I asked because I suddenly had the thought of taking Mrs. Hailey home while I met Alisa," Darren replied later.Hearing what Darren said made Amina widen her eyes; she was very surprised that Darren suddenly wanted to meet his sister. Even though Amina saw from the start that Darren really didn't like Hailey,"You want to go out of town?" asked Amina."Just a plan, ma'am. Because Darren has been thinking about Alisa ever since. I wonder what my only sister
"Oh yeah? Can I talk to him?" asked the voice on the other end of the phone so loudly.Darren turns his face to the camera, and...Gosh!His heart stopped beating when he noticed the beautiful woman he was talking to was very similar to his father."Hi, I'm Darren," Darren said, introducing himself and trying to get rid of his nervousness.Darren tried to smile at Alisa even though his eyes were filled with tears, because this was the first time he had seen someone who looked so much like his father; he could even see his father in the female version."Yes, my mother already told me. Nice to meet you," Alisa replied, smiling warmly at Darren."You're busy?" Darren asked again.Alisa shook her head. "No. Alisa works as a waitress in a fast food restaurant. When I’am go home, there's no more workload."Alisa told her story happily, and Darren glanced at Hailey, who seemed to have widened her eyes at the answer given by Alisa."You don't work for the company?" asked Darren in disbelief,
This morning at the Duta Bank office..."So, what's wrong?" asked Arras, welcoming Darren to his office.In accordance with the secret promise they agreed on at the fried rice shop the other day, the two of them will meet today at the usual place, namely the Duta Bank head office.Actually, Darren was also surprised at why Arras always asked to meet at his workplace. According to Darren, isn't that very dangerous? However, Arras always ignored Darren's questions, and he guaranteed their meeting would be safe.Before answering Arras' question, Darren let out a heavy sigh. Even to the point that it seems that at this time there is a problem that he bears."You know Hailey, right?" asked Darren then."Don't know; just know," Arras answered casually.Darren didn't even expect that Arras would confess this quickly. He thought Arras would act like Amina, who tried to avoid him when he asked her about his stepmother. However, Arras was different. He immediately admitted it."Is it true that
