As dinner progressed, Herman occasionally asked Marcel questions.

"Where do you work now, Marcel?"

"Still at the small shop, Dad." Marcel replied simply. "If it's just this house, I won't make any money."

Across the table, Ronnie shared a look with Shirley. It was the first time Marcel had been allowed to eat at the same table with their family.

"Oh yeah?" responded Herman incredulously. "Didn't you decide to resume the lab? I thought you were busy there, but maybe you forgot your obligation to help with the housekeeping work here ...."

Herman stopped his speech when Shirley looked at him with a sulking gaze.

"Marcel still wants a divorce." Shirley told him.

Marcel only smiled briefly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw how Shirley sneered at her own plate.

That night, as usual, Marcel took his pillow and blanket as he intended to sleep in the maid's room.

"Just sleep in my room," Shirley invited Marcel hesitantly and reluctantly together.

Marcel was initially unsure if Shirley mean

    Upon arrival at the in-laws' office, Marcel went downstairs with Aldi to meet Herman together.Marcel, who was wearing a plain blue shirt and slick black trousers, walked beside Aldi, who told him to act like a conglomerate businessman.Marcel, who didn't know anything, just complied with what Aldi suggested to him."I'd like to see Mr Delvino," Marcel said to the clerk at the desk. "I'm his son-in-law, soon to be ex."The female employee reacted with difficulty as she tried to digest Marcel's words, but she went inside Herman's room to inform him of her son-in-law's arrival."How could he not know that you're the son-in-law of his boss?" Aldi whispered in surprise."You shouldn't be surprised," Marcel said in a low whisper. "My parents were hoping I would get a good career path."Aldi glanced around."It doesn't matter if it's a small company, you have dozens of companies ....""We're not talking about that here." Marcel warned. "I'm your employee, right?""Fine!" Aldi cleared his th

    Since Marcel only gives her three million in monthly allowance, Shirley has returned to her arrogant attitude.Especially after Ronnie told her that Marcel was just hitching a ride with his friend who owned a luxury car."Seriously, so all this time ...?" Shirley widened her eyes after learning that fact.Ronnie nodded."But let's face it, at least we can still utilize your in-laws' debt to make some money." He looked at Shirley. "You don't need a divorce, you don't have to have sex with Marcel if you don't want to.""What the hell, Bro, it's unclean, you know!" snapped Shirley with a look of disgust.Even though in her heart, she was saying the opposite.At one time or another, Shirley accidentally saw Marcel, who had just come out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist downwards.It was then that Shirley noticed a physical change in Marcel's two arms that looked toned and full, as well as his broad chest to his boxy stomach."Maybe ... he has a gigolo job?" chirp

    "I still want a divorce," Shirley whispered to her mother."Not a good idea," Reina shook her head. "Your husband's lab can make money for us, Marcel can also be used by you ....""He's a poor husband, I don't want him!" refused Shirley with a frown."But he can make millions from his work," Ronnie quipped. "It's just embarrassing our family name, Mum."Herman sighed."If this marriage ends, we all lose." He emphasized. "We haven't made any money back yet, so who's going to reimburse me?"Shirley rolled her eyes."If you stay Marcel's wife, at least you'll get some monthly money. She can also help around the house," Ronnie suggested as he did the math. "When else would you have a free mistress?"Shirley held her forehead, she wasn't sure if Marcel had any assets that he could drain."I'm the sacrifice too," Shirley complained as her parents conferred with Marcel again."I'll help," Ronnie said. "It's only natural that mum and dad don't want to lose, they've already spent a lot of mone

    Two weeks passed peacefully. Marcel and the other tenants managed to live their new lives on a schedule set by the center.The neighbors accepted their presence without question, so they didn't bother each other if Marcel went out with his driver Aldi and two others every day."I'm surprised none of the Delvino family members have realized what we're doing yet," Marcel commented as the car driven by Aldi's driver drove towards Herman's office. "I think this is too suspicious."Aldi's driver, Diko, was still focused on driving and did not immediately answer."It's good if it's like this, Sir." Diko said after a few moments of silence. "It makes the process of moving your lab to Mr Aldi's place easier."Marcel was silent for a while as he thought."But it could also be an indirect trap," he commented introspectively. "I must remain cautious, including with strangers we meet.""I agree, sir!" said Diko from the driving seat.Not long after, the car stopped at a red light. That's when Mar

    A few days in the new lab ...."You can't do that, Sir." Diko argued. "My boss has taken over ownership of this land ....""Where are the papers then?" asked Ronnie in a debt-collector-like tone."The letters, that's my boss's business." Diko stood his ground."If you can't show us the papers, we'll take over the land!" threatened Ronnie as he tugged on Diko's shirt collar. "Do you know who I am? I'm Herman Delvino's son, you should know that name!"Diko staggered backwards as Ronnie pushed him hard."Then can you show me the ownership letter from the Delvino family, sir?" said Diko while smoothing the front of his shirt."What?""Didn't you say that if there's no letter, it means the ownership can be in anyone's name?" replied Diko cleverly.Ronnie's face turned bright red when he heard Diko's words. He then turned to his men who were still standing at attention and shouted, "Level this place with the ground, now!"Diko turned around and was about to mobilise his men in anticipation

    "You ..." A guard observed Marcel's face that was slightly hidden behind his messy jet-black hair. "Like the one over there ...."Before the guard could recognize him, Marcel turned around and immediately pulled Venya to run back. He bumped into one or two people who were intent on blocking his way."Venya, I need your help!" Marcel exclaimed loudly."Are you sure, Marcel?" Venya called back. "I can't fight, Marcel!""You just need to listen to my instructions!" Marcel said. "And do it without asking too many questions!"Venya couldn't help but nod her head."The important thing is that I can go home and see my father!" Venya exclaimed almost desperately. "I came here to continue my research, but why is it like this!"Marcel nodded his head, he stopped his running and lifted Venya up by her waist until both of her long legs were lifted off the ground."Oh my, Marcel!" Venya exclaimed in surprise."I'm sorry if I'm being rude! But please raise your legs high, I'll use them to immobiliz

    "How is your husband's divorce going?" Miko asked Shirley, who was sitting next to her.The two of them were in the car and occasionally made out without regard to place and status."I don't know, he said he wants to keep divorcing me." Shirley replied lightly. "Who cares, Marcel never existed-except with my housemaid."Miko chuckled."How could you want to marry a man who doesn't have a good job," she commented mockingly. "Marry a well-established man, at least one who can satisfy you in every way ...."Shirley tingled when the tip of Miko's nose touched her ear."It's just a debt-redemption marriage," Shirley argued as Miko moved away. "We'll see, I'm not sure if Marcel has enough money to organize our divorce ... He thinks divorce doesn't cost money?"Miko grasped Shirley's hand as she said, "Until now, he hasn't moved forward because of what? Because there's no money!""Indeed," Shirley nodded in agreement."Well, let your husband do what he wants." Miko said. "With or without him

    Aldi split the team into two parts after Marcel received a call from the lab."Sir, I'll just go to the family's house." Marcel volunteered as Aldi put him on the second team as the search team."Hold on," Aldi interrupted, looking at Marcel very sternly. "We don't know if this is a trap from Delvino's family or not, Mr Marcelino. So let me send someone to visit there."Marcel didn't have time to argue because at that moment Diko came into their midst."Sir, all the teams are ready." Diko reported."We're leaving now," Aldi said, then turned to look at Venya. "You should stay in the lab ...""But ... I owe you and Mr Marcelino a lot, I want to help too," Venya insisted as she looked at Aldi, making it impossible for him to deny her request."Let me drive," Diko said as he grabbed Aldi's car keys. "You still look sleepy, take a nap while I drive ...""How can you?" said Aldi as he got into his own car and let Diko drive. "I'm not sure that Mr Herman Delvino would go out of his way, tha

    When all the iron had been thrown completely, a man and a woman jumped down and walked closer.“How? Are you sure this won’t make the boss angry?” asked Wina who was standing on the far side. “Even though we had acknowledged the man as our son …”“Shouldn’t we be one step ahead?” replied Dirlan with sparkling eyes. “Let’s just say it was a single accident, the important thing is that the boss wants to stop Marcelino from continuing his cooperation with Mr. Aldi.”The man with the short hair shrugged.“We should go now,” he suggested. “Let the fake scientist clean up this mess.”The husband and wife immediately got back into the truck, not long after they left the scene before people came because of the chaos they had created.“My mind feels relieved after the person named Marcel was successfully destroyed, Wina!”“Hopefully what we did was right, Dirlan!”The couple did not speak to each other anymore as the truck carrying them continued to speed away from the scene of the crime.Upon

    Since leaving the shop and deciding to join Aldi, Marcel rarely showed his face in front of the Delvino family.Marcel's old cellphone was also always ringing, but he never bothered because the ones who contacted him were always Shirley or his mother-in-law who demanded that he return as soon as possible."I've finished the experiment with Venya and the team, can I go out for a while?" Marcel asked asking permission from Aldi. "I'm bored if I keep being locked up here without a job."Aldi thought for a moment. Marcel thought that he would never be given permission, but it turned out he was wrong!"You can go anywhere you want," said Aldi who at that time was busy with the layout of the Delvino family's very large residence."Are you serious, sir?" asked Marcel, very suspicious when Aldi easily gave him permission."As long as you continue to act carefully," replied Aldi with a serious face. "With us having started to gradually take over the medical market, I'm sure the Delvino family

    “Let’s do it,” Marcel said, looking straight at Ronnie.“What the heck, Cel? Don’t be rude to my brother!” Shirley snapped in disapproval.Marcel didn’t respond, while Ronnie was busy arguing with herself.“Well, if you intend to break your promise,” Marcel said calmly. “People who break their oaths usually get unlucky for life.”After saying his final sentence, Marcel turned and walked away, leaving his wife and brother-in-law behind.“Brother, why did you make a challenge?” Shirley commented fiercely. “Now what if our family gets unlucky in life?”Ronnie clenched his fists, a fierce battle still going on in his mind. His pride would certainly be at stake if he wiped Marcel’s shoes.“What do you think, Brother?” Shirley urged in annoyance.“Just keep quiet if you can’t give me a solution!” Ronnie blurted out emotionally, his shoulders heaving and his hands clenching. “Cel, wait!”Marcel stopped walking before he had gone too far, then turned around. Ronnie felt she had no other choic

    “Venya, what are you doing?” Marcel frowned when he got into the car, and it turned out that Venya was driving. “Where did the driver go yesterday?”Venya smiled broadly before answering, “Today, Mr. Diko just finished teaching me how to drive a car.”Marcel nodded briefly and told Diko to take him to the Aldi branch office building, one of the companies under the Aldians Group.That was where the leader would announce which companies were eligible to participate in the tender.“Mr. Aldi said that you are not allowed to reveal the cooperation project to anyone you meet,” Diko reminded her when they were only a few meters away from the destination office.“Of course I will keep my mouth shut, so there is no need to worry about anyone finding out.” Marcel emphasized.“But…” Diko still seemed hesitant.“No one will recognize me except Delvino’s family members,” Marcel interrupted as he got out of the car. “And they also don’t know exactly what my cooperation project with Mr. Aldi is.”Di

    Then suddenly dozens to tens of people in black uniforms appeared gradually but quickly surrounding Marcel’s movement who was on top.“Trash,” Marcel muttered while raising his face arrogantly. “Move forward, all of you!”Almost all of Dirlan’s men shot forward, and Marcel moved one leg to throw a rifle up, then grabbed it with both hands.He immediately aimed at the floor, the whirring bullets smoothly shot at the legs of Dirlan’s men who immediately collapsed and made the people behind him slip while some were trampled by their own friends.“Move forward, all of you!” Marcel challenged in a loud voice while turning around and jumping from the glass window that shattered into pieces when it hit his body quickly.Marcel’s body fell freely down towards Dirlan’s swimming pool before anyone could catch him.He felt incredibly fresh when his face hit the pool water, he immediately straightened himself up with water dripping from his hair.Dirlan grinned widely at his men.“The game isn’t

    Marcel caught Dirlan red-handed when he followed the man to a building that was quite hidden.“So it turns out you’re not my father, right?”“That’s it,” Dirlan nodded.“Come with us now,” said one of them, who immediately threw Marcel into a room.Marcel calmly let himself be led to a two-story house that was not too far from the office.There were already several men waiting for him with wary looks. Without much ado, introducing themselves, one of them immediately invited Marcel to talk.“Become a medical expert in my company, then you will get back the wealth and women as you wish.”Marcel looked up from his position sitting flanked by two armed and muscular gangsters.“You’ve got the wrong person,” Marcel replied flatly, with both words staring straight at the young man in a vest who was sitting facing him with a gripping aura. “I’m not the person you’re looking for.”The tall man with gray irises stared at Marcel with eyes narrowed to a line. He was Dirlan, the man who claimed to

    “What’s the use of a room like this?”Meanwhile, the people Nita had placed in a separate room were now protesting.“It’s not even suitable for sleeping!”“This is the only place we can provide,” Nita said, trying to be friendly. “At least it’s a form of our responsibility as Mr. Marcelino’s co-workers.”“Oh, we’re Marcel’s parents!” the woman rebuked with a raised eyebrow. “To show your responsibility, give us at least three rooms as comfortable as a five-star hotel! Not one like this? That’s terrible!”Nita was furious, she really wanted to complain about their behavior to Marcel.However, she tried to act professionally.“I’ve tried to give my best, but you can still say that we’re not responsible?” Nita said softly.“Hey, you, that’s why you think!” snapped the woman arbitrarily. “You’re Marcel’s employee, my son! Obviously our classes are different, your subordinates don’t understand that I need more facilities than what you’ve given me now!”Nita did not answer, her gaze blankly

How could it not be, several people who happened to be sitting around waiting for public transportation were now starting to pay attention to them.“I just want my suffering to end soon,” said the woman holding back tears. “No one will lose me ... not even my own husband ....”Marcel was stunned. Worried that people would misunderstand this incident, he immediately offered a ride to the unknown woman.“You’re not hurt at all

    Aldi gathered most of the headquarters members after breakfast.“We have spent several months building an improved lab,” said Aldi opening his speech. “For that, we must use this lab for the benefit of humanity, in order to improve the quality of human resources for this world.”Diko, who was sitting next to Ivan, listened attentively.“The construction of facilities and training for people who want to join us will continue, because it is time for us to start showing our existence.” Aldi continued. “Competition with the Delvino family will definitely exist, because our goal is to change lives and destroy the power of the Delvino family, who monopolizes every aspect of the territory that is subject to them.”Aldi raised his fist above his head.“Are you ready?” He asked loudly.“Ready!” The entire room responded with an equally loud voice.“Is there anything you want to ask?” Aldi looked around the room.It was quiet for a moment, some even glanced at each other as if asking their coll
