Seeing Axel who was silent, Bastian suddenly commented, "Sorry, we have to go now!" he immediately pulled Axel and took him into the car.

    Before continuing his journey, Axel asked Bastian to take him to Charles' house to pick up his belongings. 

"You can go straight home," Axel said glancing at Bastian.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" asked Bastian when they arrived in front of Charles' house.

"No, I just have a few things to do." 

Axel stepped out of the car and walked into the gate of his in-laws' house.

    Still remembering well the insults and blasphemy from his wife to him, Axel had not yet reached the main door. The blue-eyed man was surprised to see Almero there.

"You! What are you doing here?" 

"I should be the one asking, why are you here, trash man?" Almero looked furious that Axel was now in front of him, the one who was just about to go to the hospital and confirm what Elena had said earlier.

"I came here to get my stuff," Axel replied casually.

"Do you think you can just walk into this luxurious house again, huh?"

 Almero threw a punch at Axel but the handsome man parried it. "I won't lose to you again, Al."

"How dare you!" Almero tugged on Axel's shirt collar.

"I'm just here to get my stuff and you want to get into trouble with me." 

Axel let go of Almero's hand. He stepped inside and found all his belongings already in front of the warehouse.

     Almero smiled slightly, "If you hadn't come on time then don't blame me if I burn your stuff to the ground."

     Axel ignored Almero's words, he was only focused on his belongings and when he was about to leave Charles' house, Almero deliberately pushed him until Axel fell down several steps.

"I hope trashy men like you won't come to this house again because the one who will be the son-in-law of the Charles family is me, Almero."

    Axel just took a deep breath as he stood up and was about to leave the house but Elena's sudden presence stopped him in his tracks. 

"You..." Elena suddenly looked at Axel with a big question mark. 

"I was just getting my stuff."

    Elena smiled faintly, "I thought since you know Mr. Geraldo, you wouldn't need your junk." The woman walked around Axel. 

"I'm really curious how you knew Mr. Geraldo and how you got out of prison?"

"I--"

  Axel paused when he saw Almero approaching him, "Not just anyone can know Mr. Geraldo, I think he's up to something."

"What do you mean, Al?" asked Elena confused.

"I think he was paroled and I think this trashy guy is up to something. It could be that Mr. Gerlado wants to return the favor."

     Elena nodded in agreement, "You're right, just like what he did to my father. Unfortunately, I'll have to ask the police for my money back for having the courage to set him free."

"Money, what does that mean?" asked Axel curiously. 

"'I paid a lot of money for you to go to jail. Don't you know that you're not the real culprit?"

"So I...? I kept quiet because I wanted to protect you, El," replied Axel, not expecting Elena to deliberately put him in jail.

"Didn't I hear that you wanted to protect me? A poor man like you wants to protect the princess, that's just your illusion." Elena chuckled at Axel wanting to protect her.

    Meanwhile, Almero clapped his hands and laughed amusedly at Axel's words.

 "How can a trashy man like you protect my beloved! Get out of my sight, I feel disgusted to see a trashy man here.

" It wasn't long before Almero called the security guards and told them to send Axel away.

    The handsome man with blue eyes didn't expect Elena to be involved in his case. Stepping into a place before he knew Elena and Charles's family, a small apartment in the suburbs, which only had one room and the kitchen together.

When Axel returned home he was mocked by his apartment neighbors. 

"You said you married a rich man, how come you're back in this shithole! I'm sure you're just being used as a service there."

    The two people whispered to each other but were still audible in Axel's ears. Axel's purpose in coming to her apartment was to retrieve his belongings, he remembered that there was a necklace left by his parents. 

    Without listening to his neighbors, Axel stepped into her apartment. He was a little surprised to find his room very messy. He remembered that before he left the room was still neat. But he still insisted on finding the necklace.

    Although Bastian repeatedly said that he was the grandson of a conglomerate, Axel still dismissed it because he didn't believe it. After going through his closet, Axel couldn't find the necklace.

"Are you looking for this?" asked a woman who was now standing in front of the apartment door.

"Ms. Barbara," Axel said a little surprised to find the owner of the apartment now standing in front of him.

"Are you looking for this necklace?" asked the landlady a second time as she showed him a silver necklace with a love motif rattle with a jewel in the center.

"Can you give me that necklace," Axel pleaded hopefully.

Mrs. Barbara smiled faintly, "I thought you wouldn't come back to this shabby apartment now that you've become a rich daughter-in-law. You seem to have forgotten what you owe me, Xel." Mrs. Barbara began to recall all of Axel's debts.

    Indeed, Axel had forgotten that he still owed his landlord half of the yearly rent.

"I'm sorry, Mom! I'll definitely pay, but please give me the necklace first," he pleaded.

"I won't be fooled by your sweet promises anymore, until you can pay your debt I won't give you this." Barbara's mother refused Axel's request. 

"It's still a good thing I gave you a place to live with cheap rent but you're still playing me. It's only 4500 dollars that you can pay, right? You can ask for money from your rich in-laws."

"Sorry, ma'am. I'm not Mr. Charles' son-in-law anymore." Axel said because he was about to be divorced by Elena.

    Mrs. Barbara's pair of eyeballs glared perfectly, "Are you being divorced by Mr. Charles' daughter? Didn't I tell you, there's no way Mr. Charles would make you his son-in-law? You're just a poor man who can become their son-in-law. That's just your imagination, Xel." 

Axel continued to be taunted by the landlord until he was kicked out by the landlord so rudely that he pushed Axel's body to the floor.

 "You better get out of here!" 

    However, someone's burly hand managed to keep Axel's body from hitting the floor.

"Who are you?" asked Barbara, rounding her eyes at the arrival of a man in a black suit.

    "I am Mr. Geraldo's assistant, how much does the young master owe you?" asked the man who was none other than Bastian. Barbara was so dumbfounded that she swallowed her saliva violently several times, "Young master? Since when did Axel become the young master? Don't dream in broad daylight, this kid is just a hobo who can be called a young master. But if you want to pay the debt I will accept.""No need Mr. Bastian," Axel interrupted, forbidding the man to pay his debt."I think this money is more than enough to pay the young master's debt, if necessary we will buy this small apartment in the young master's name." Barbara suddenly gaped when she saw the man in the black suit handing her a wad of money, more than enough for Axel's debt. It left Barbara gaping and in disbelief that she could hold that much money."Is this enough?" asked Bastian looking at Barbara."It's more than enough and if necessary right now I will give you the certificate of this apartment because I will a

    The café owner looked at his special guest so angry that he was furious. Finally, the owner apologized and would be compensated for the suit that was soiled by his employee. He knew very well that arguing with the suit's owner wouldn't win him any favors and the best way was to give in since the man was a prominent person in the city."Can't the suit just be cleaned, sir?" said Axel, walking after the owner."Do you think he wants the suit just cleaned? If I could, I would have persuaded him earlier. A conglomerate like him wouldn't want that.""This is an expensive suit and costs almost 12,000 dollars. Can you afford it?""What 12,000 dollars? That expensive?""You won't be able to pay it for 10 years.""I'm sorry, sir. I spilled the juice by mistake.""From this moment on, you are not an employee of this cafe! If things like this keep happening, my cafe will go bankrupt because of you.""What do you mean, I'm fired?" asked Axel to make sure."Yes, you're fired!" said the owner with

    Katrina, who had been squatting facing Axel, suddenly stood up at this remark. "Berry..." The nurse pushed her wheelchair and approached the two people."That's not what he wants. I'm ready to go to jail," Axel replied in the end."Good, you finally realized your mistake. But it won't be easy because I'm going to sue you for damages. You'll see!" Berry smiled wryly, her neck now wearing a neck brace due to Axel's actions."Ber, why are you so cruel to Axel? Didn't you also hit his face until it was bruised like this" Katrina tried to remind Berry's actions towards Axel? Katrina knew very well that Axel wouldn't have fought back if Berry hadn't gone too far with him, but considering what the man had said earlier. It didn't demand the possibility that Berry would definitely act considering the severe injuries he had suffered."What should we do, Xel? Berry wouldn't be joking with that remark." Katrina glanced at her coworker, she was starting to get concerned about Axel's co

    Axel's steps were halted as a middle-aged woman not only called out but tugged on Axel's hand, "Looks like you dropped something, here." The woman pointed an item towards Axel. Axel turned his head and nodded because what had fallen was a passbook that Mr. Bastian had given him this morning."Thank you, ma'am." Axel grabbed the item as he smiled kindly at the woman, while Katrina who saw it frowned. She remembered that Axel didn't have any money, let alone savings, but Katrina didn't think much of it; whether Axel had savings or not was none of her business. Once at the bus stop, Katrina and Axel walked up some stairs. Katrina's apartment was a little further from the city. When they arrived at the door of her apartment, Katrina thanked Axel for his kind gesture."Where are you going after this, Xel?" she asked, giving him a glancing at him."You don't have to think about me, go inside. It's so cold." Katrina nodded slowly and waved her hand as the handsome man was abo

    "Isn't this book..." The female teller was unable to continue her sentence because all she knew was that the book she was holding was a special book that only existed in this country. They left Axel stunned, how could Axel not look like a hobo yet... Aside from the gasp, they all must have been terrified that they had gone too far with Axel. They hurried to apologize, then treated him with the utmost respect."Just come here, sir... Let me take care of everything," said the first teller, as she also asked the customer who had just arrived to relent. Axel was so dumbfounded, rather not expecting something like this to happen. Doesn't that mean the passbook Mr. Bastian gave him is genuine? It felt like he didn't believe it yet, but when asked how much money he would take. Axel only mentioned half of it because for Axel it was more than enough to pay Berry's demands."How is that possible?!" thought Axel in disbelief as he stared at the brown envelope the teller handed him.

    "Mr. Alex! Geez, I'm sorry I'm late. You shouldn't have been treated like this," Poppy said in a panic, then added her concern. "You're okay, right?" Earlier, when the bank employees were busy discussing a customer with a special passbook, Poppy had seen the passbook and that's when Poppy found out about Alex's social status. Alex shook his head slightly at the pretty girl's question, then it was more about the stares of Elena and Almero and the other people who seemed surprised at Poppy's treatment of Axel. How could a manager of Morghan Bank respect Axel so much? Even referring to him as Sir, is very confusing. Certainly, Elena and Almero couldn't get enough of it. Then, Elena interrupted. "Miss, I think you've recognized the wrong person. This is my ex-husband whom I just divorced, he's a thief! You shouldn't treat him with such respect." "Yes, that's right," Almero continued in surprise. Hearing Axel being insulted like that made Poppy furious. "How presu

    Such a thing happened because Axel had said he would pay her with the bundle of money in his hand, of course, she would beg to drive him for such a large fee. Meanwhile, the woman cursed in annoyance as she moved on, "Ah, damn!!! What an insolent driver." She didn't care, just busy seducing Axel into entering her car. Now it was Axel's turn to give her a sardonic smile. "That's why ladies don't be arrogant people." At the same time, a two-wheeled vehicle stopped right in front of the taxi and also greeted Axel. "Did you order it earlier?" "Yes, wait a minute," Axel replied. The handsome man asked the online motorcycle taxi to wait because he still had something to do with the taxi driver. Namely, he asked for the money he had given earlier, this time Axel was a little pushy because the driver kept trying to hold back his money. In the end, Axel managed to snatch the money. With nothing left, it was clear that the driver couldn't just give up. He was still tr

    "I'd like to see Berry, is he inside?" "Mr. Berry, come please." The burly man quickly guided Axel inside. Entering a spacious house with an interior that matched the paint of the house made the eye feel comfortable. No wonder Berry was so haughty because her house was big and grand. Unlike her small and cramped apartment. "I beg your pardon, Axel! I'm ready to pay in installments all the costs of your demands as long as you let Axel go." Berry smiled wryly while taking a very long look at Katrina's face. "Why are you willing to kneel before me for that poor man." Berry hardened his jaw because he couldn't accept that the girl he liked would prefer a poor, hapless man like Axel. "Axel is my savior god and maybe it's time I return the favor for him." "You want to return the favor or you like that hobo." He moved slowly from his seat and was now squatting in front of Katrina, "Don't you know that I liked you a long time ago if you want Axel to be free of charge

Aren't I here because of you?" he replied so snappily.That made Gio smile. "I'm doing my job well because if you're not arrested, then a lot of murders will happen in this city. Is it not the job of a detective to catch the killer? , "Gio even asked back.It made Bunga swallow her saliva repeatedly because, indeed, what Gio said was true, e, but being in this room and soon to be in prison made Bunga more distant from Niko, but a small smile was implied on her lips.Gio, who watched Bunga's movements, also felt that the woman had a sense of love that was blind and beyond reason until she could do things that she did not realize that the act could har

Everyone's handwriting could be the same, Mas." Bunga still used the opportunity to defend herself. She didn't want to end up behind bars. Niko let out a long sigh. He put the memo on the glass table in front of him now."We found this memo in the same handwriting as yours. We hope your wife confesses to her crime."

Suddenly the man smiled wryly, as if mocking him. He revealed that he was in a relationship for quite some time after knowing Niko. Since then Baron has been close to the relationship, he also revealed that Vania has an adopted daughter named Sonia. She was the girl who loved him so much that she sacrificed her crown so that they could be united.

How could he not? Boy could read her thoughts stating that she did it on purpose in order to hinder their work?She sighed heavily as she kept looking back, but when she wanted to pick up her fallen closet key, Boy had to bend down and pick up the key.When he managed to grab the key, a fierce man with hawk-like, long-haired eyes stared at him from behind.
