Shirley’s voice was so loud, Nana even jumped in surprise.

“Patience, Madam ... Mr. Marcelino has had an accident ...” said Nana stammeringly.

Shirley snorted, her eyes scanned Marcel from head to toe with a probing gaze.

“Why are you wearing those clothes?” Shirley asked curtly.

“These are clothes from the hospital,” Marcel answered flatly. “I was in care for more than one night, that’s why I didn’t go home ...”

“Whose fault is it that you ran away?” Shirley said fiercely.

“I didn’t run away, don’t make accusations without evidence!” Marcel replied. “I went to work, then ....”

“So what? Have you had a disaster? Robbed? Mugged?” Shirley actually got even crazier. “Old song, Cel! You pretend to be sick, so that I feel sorry for you. Isn’t it? Having a husband like this is such a showman!”

Marcel sighed. Timidly, Nana placed a cup of hot tea on the table.

“Please drink it first, Sir.”

“Thank you, Nana.” Marcel nodded, but Shirley immediately pushed the cup aside until the contents spill

    “Oh, the people have arrived! “You just ask him directly,” said Shirley, pointing at Marcel with her chin.“What is it?” Marcel asked, embarrassed.“When are you going to pay all your parents’ debts?” Dito asked back in a style like collecting a debt.“My in-laws and I have agreed that I will pay off the debt as soon as I get more money,” Marcel answered flatly. “What’s the matter with you anyway and why should I explain it to you?”Dito suddenly became silent.“Even if my in-laws’ family objected, they should have contacted me directly to discuss this matter further.” Marcel added.“That can’t be the case,” shook Dito’s head. “I am one of Mr. Herman’s office employees, so I have the right to know when your payment will be completed.”Marcel shrugged and replied, “I will contact my in-laws directly if I want to make the payment.”“Why don’t you finish things now, Cel?” asked Shirley interrupting. “You’re so embarrassed that you owe us money.”Marcel threw a warning glance at Shirley.

    Dito could no longer refuse, he still had to be aware of his position in front of Shirley’s father.“Excuse me, Sir.” Dito said goodbye, Shirley immediately held his hand.Marcel looked away, disgusted.“But, yeah. “Don’t believe what Marcel said earlier,” asked Shirley pitifully.“How will father believe when your hands say otherwise?” Herman asked firmly. “Come here, let’s talk nicely.”Dito turned to Shirley and nodded his head, then they were forced to separate when Herman told him to.“I have a work permit, Dad.” Marcel said goodbye because he was not interested in participating in the conversation between father and son.“No, Marcel. You have to come too,” said Herman, shaking his head. “You just sit down first, Mrs. Delvino said you were discharged from the hospital?”Herman joined in the act, although in his heart he was quite amazed that Marcel had managed to escape from the supervision of Lista and his family.“Okay, Dad.” Marcel just nodded, he didn’t want to prolong the pr

    “What’s wrong, Bro?” Marcel asked as he walked down the stairs. He turned his gaze straight towards the sounds he heard.“Mr Marcelino! Sir ...!” call Nana again, she’s not usually like that when she calls members of the Delvino family.“What’s going on, screaming?”“Auntie Nana just made my virtual meeting a mess!”Shirley and Alvon’s voices shouted at each other, making the atmosphere at the Delvino family’s house even more lively.“Why is that Nana?” Reina asked in surprise at Herman who was turning off the laptop.“You just go down and check whether the food is ready.” Herman ordered. “We have to treat Marcel well, so that he can use his energy again.”Reina nodded and quickly came down from the room. He passed Marcel who had already reached the bottom of the stairs.“Marcel!” call Reina.“Yes ma’am?” Marcel stopped in his tracks and turned to his mother-in-law.“What’s all the fuss about like that?” Reina asked as she continued her steps until she arrived in front of Marcel. “Are

    Herman looked at Marcel who did not immediately answer his question.“I—they were looking for me, Dad.” Marcel explained because the facts were like that.He never knew about the pharmacist or the Delvino family’s relatives before they appeared after Aldi managed to find them first.“Did you know about this beforehand?” Herman asked again.Marcel shook his head and answered, “The problem is that they recognized me as the medicine expert they were looking for, so I didn’t dare to take any further interest in my past.”Herman then looked at Reina.“But Marcel is our son-in-law,” said Reina, pretending to be understanding. “It’s impossible for you to just take her away, what about our daughter?”Stefi glanced at Marcel and said, “It’s up to Marcel, our business is just coming to take him home.”Marcel knew what Stefi’s gaze meant, he was implicitly telling her to choose.“Is it true that these two are relatives of our family, Dad?” whispered Shirley in a voice they could still hear.“A p

    “Don’t talk carelessly,” Herman warned Alvon. “What is clear is that our extended family is not just any family.”It was Shirley’s turn to look at her father with a clueless look.“What kind of family are we, Dad? Nobleman?” Shirley asked, both curious and confused.“A kind of family with high social status,” nodded Herman in a deep voice. “Father had no idea that Marcel was the drug expert we had been looking for... what do you think about this?”Shirley shrugged.“Why don’t we track down Marcel’s parents now?” Reina suggested quickly. “If they’re not surprised, that means Marcel’s true talent has been covered up all this time.”Alvon exchanged glances with Shirley.“If all this isn’t a dream and Marcel is a pharmacist, that means we’ve thrown away the jewel we had all this time.”Shirley sighed.“But he’s stingy with me,” he said curtly. “How come I was only given three million, how can a pharmacist count on giving money to his own wife?”“Watch your words,” Reina reprimanded her fi

    “Is this valid?” Marcel asked, looking at Lista doubtfully.“What do you mean?” Lista replied offended. “You doubt the ability of our people who checked your blood sample?”Marcel shrugged.“I’m never sure, even if you believe me, that I’m a real pharmacist,” he said slowly. “What I know is that I have lived with my parents since I was little. And they never said that I had talent in the medical field.”Stefi immediately filled the empty seat next to Marcel.“But with the proof of this letter, you must be sure that you are a drug expert.” Stefi intervened. “The person we have been looking for a long time.”“Why should I be that sure?” Marcel asked as he turned to look at Stefi. “I personally don’t really know you guys apart from the news about the Delvino family that is widely circulating.”“Wow, we’re happy that you’ve had the chance to hear about our big family.” Stefi commented. “But from now on you must be sure that the talent for dispensing medicine flows in your veins.”Marcel s

    “What’s the matter, Sir?” Ivan asked with his face turning serious again.“Supervise this lab so that Mrs. Venya feels safe while conducting research,” Aldi answered firmly. “We never know when the competition between us and the Delvino family will erupt, especially if Marcel is already there.”Diko narrowed his eyes.“Does that mean Mr. Marcel is on their side?” He confirmed.“It depends,” said Aldi. “But it’s okay, I believe Marcel inherited the talents of both his parents.”“How can you be so sure, Sir?” Ivan asked with a frown.“Because I know Marcel’s father and mother well,” answered Aldi as he continued his steps. “As simple as that.”Diko and Ivan looked at each other than both shrugged not understanding.The first day of living with Lista’s family, Marcel was treated very well. From there he began to worry about Aldi’s stories about the gloom that had occurred in the family.“How did you sleep, Marcel?” said Stefi when she came to visit Marcel’s room with Lista. “I see the se

    Breakfast went smoothly that morning, although it was a little late because it was colored by a conversation that they thought was important about Marcel.“You two are sure that the blood test showed the real data, right?” asked Naya, the person who seemed most doubtful about the truth of whether Marcel was a real pharmacist or not.“Of course, Auntie ...”“Sorry, I personally still have doubts about the test.” Marcel interrupted, making Stefi and Lista turn to look at him.“What do you mean by that?” Lista snapped in a low whisper.“What’s going on?” Naya snapped. “How can a pharmacist doubt that he is a pharmacist?”Stefi smiled before responding to her mother’s words.“What’s strange? We have to understand for the time being, it’s natural that Marcelino doesn’t know much, he was raised without knowing anything about medicine.”“It’s okay,” Damian interrupted. “No child is able to remember his entire life journey, so we shouldn’t force Marcel to be able to remember everything in a s

    Elen herself certainly wanted to reject her big boss’s proposal, but she couldn’t possibly say it directly in front of Shirley.However, she still cared about Herman’s daughter’s feelings, even though her attitude was very unpleasant to her.“I ...” Elen tried to find the right words to reject Herman’s plan.“Is there anything lacking in Shirley to be your secretary, Elen?” Herman asked again.Elen glanced at Shirley, who glared at her, as if ready to swallow her whole if she dared to say anything bad about her.“Nothing, sir,” Elen shook her head. “Mrs. Shirley ... is perfect, but Mrs. Shirley shouldn’t be my secretary.”Herman smiled faintly, while Shirley snorted softly.“Okay, there’s no reason for you to reject my daughter, right?” Herman asked again while looking at Elen.“Well, what’s this?” Shirley interrupted angrily. “I didn’t ...”“Dad didn’t talk to you, Shirley.” Herman reminded without looking at his daughter. “I won’t rush, please have a natural discussion with Shirley.

    “Elen, I want you to represent me in an important meeting with a client from Aldians Group.” Herman called Elen into his office when she had just checked one of the proposals.“Me, Sir?” Elen asked, nodding hurriedly to greet her boss.“Yes, you.” Herman nodded.“I ... feel bad for Mrs. Shirley, Sir.” Elen admitted. “I’m not on her level of education ...”Herman smiled faintly when he heard that.“You can go with Shirley,” he said lightly. “You can also teach my daughter so that she has a good attitude like you.”Elen froze for a moment, she remembered Shirley, who had once looked down on her because she only graduated from elementary school.“Is Mrs. Shirley willing to go with me, Sir?” Elen asked hesitantly. “I’m worried that ... if Mrs. Shirley objects and the meeting will be disturbed by my presence ...”Herman shook his head.“Don’t worry, this is just a casual social gathering. So it’s a good idea for you and Shirley to go together,” Herman said. “I want Shirley to do her job as

    Meanwhile, Shirley still could not accept her father’s decision to appoint Elen as CEO of the company. How could she, who was highly educated, be paired with an employee whose educational background was unclear.That was an insult, Shirley was furious in her heart.She immediately ordered someone to find information about Elen, including her educational history.At least, Shirley wanted to make sure for herself that her competitor was someone who was very equal in everything.“Here are the files you asked for, ma’am.” A secretary handed a brown folder to Shirley.“No one knows that I told you to get Elen’s personal data, right?” Shirley asked, looking up at her secretary.“No one, ma’am.” The secretary shook her head politely.“Good,” Shirley replied in a satisfied tone. “You may go. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”The secretary nodded and hurriedly left Shirley’s room.After her employee left, Shirley lowered her head to check Elen’s biodata.

Did a lot of employees leave?”Dirlan shook his head, he sat down and stared above him.“Not a single body was found from yesterday’s incident,” Dirlan said with a tense expression on his face. “There’s only a car wreck that’s ringing.”Damian responded to the news delivered by Dirlan with clenched fists.“How is that possible? Didn’t you say that the car should have had passengers?” Damian inquired with a twitching expression.Dirlan was a little horrified to see his boss’s face, he replied hesitantly, “Of course I’m sure, the car couldn’t have been driven by a ghost—at least there was a driver and an unexpected person, Marcel ...” Damian sighed heavily, “

    Upon arriving at the headquarters, Marcel successfully piqued Aldi’s curiosity because he saw their messy hands.“I told you to be careful!”Ivan, representing his colleagues, immediately explained the chronology of the events that had befallen them. Aldi shook his head in response to the unexpected disaster.“Take the injured to the lab,” Aldi ordered.“I’m fine, Sir ...” Marcel replied softly.“If you’re injured, that means something is wrong.” Aldi looked at Marcel firmly. “You two also have to be examined regarding the formula you’ve consumed.”Diko and the others nodded obediently when Aldi had already said so.In the lab ....Marcel suddenly felt his head dizzy and his body weak, so he just obeyed when the team of doctors asked him to lie down on the bed while Diko and Ivan were examined in another room.“No matter how magical it is, this formula still has to be perfected.”“Especially when it’s drunk in an unhygienic condition ...”“... a lot of dust, for example.”Marcel close

    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.
