Chapter 122 - History Of Romance
After hearing the sound of the door closing and confirming that Anya was out, Aiden continued his conversation with Harrism "It was impossible for Anya to do it. She was too innocent to plan all this. Check out Esther and the store manager. Then find out if all of this has anything to do with Imel."
Aiden had the feeling Imel was involved in this as well. The woman was always shadowing him and trying to knock him down at any cost. And right now, it looked like Imel wanted to use Anya to take down Aiden.
"Everything is under investigation and the results will be out soon." Harris said. The purpose he actually called Aiden was not to inform about the investigation because the results were not yet available. At this time, there was another news that was even more urgent, "I want to tell you something else, sir. Esther's perfume recipe is out on the internet."
Aiden shook his head at the information from Harris. It seemed like his guess was right. It was impossible for an ordinary person to do this. Everything was very well planned and neat, "Imel can't stop making a fuss." He sneered. "I will destroy all her dreams on father's birthday."
"Sir, now everyone is discussing madam's mother. Their entire background has been exposed." Said Harris. He could feel his head starting to hurt as he took care of this complicated matter.
He hadn't even finished helping Anya to clear her name, but the woman was already dragged back into a deeper mud. In addition, the current issue also concerned Diana who was lying in the hospital.
"What did they say?" Asked Aiden in a cold voice.
"Someone brought out the news, saying that Mrs. Diana Hutama had stolen perfume recipes from Amore while working there with Mrs. Imel." Harris said.
While listening to Harris's explanation, Aiden immediately opened a web page and looked for the news.
'Ten years ago, Diana stole a perfume recipe from Amore. Ten years later, her daughter, Anya, stole a perfume recipe from Rose Scent. History will always repeat itself. It is true that the fruit will not fall far from the tree. Mother and daughter are both shameless.'
The owner of the web did not include their name, as if the website was deliberately made to bring down Anya.
Aiden looked at the accusation while frowning. Then he said to Harris, "Harris, watch the direction of public opinion. Don't let this ruin Anya's career opportunities. Her dream is to become a prominent parfumeur like her mother."
"Yes sir. I will investigate it more deeply. I'm sure the culprit will be found soon." Harris said. After that, the man changed the subject, giving Aiden information about what Aiden wanted to know before he went abroad.
Before going abroad, Aiden asked Harris to find out about the relationship between Anya's mother and Galih Pratama.
"Sir, your request beforehand, I have got the results." Harris said.
"Is Anya the daughter of Galih Pratama?" Aiden asked in a serious tone.
"No." Harris answered confidently, "I have found the history of the love life of Galih Pratama and Mrs. Diana. They did have a relationship, but in the end they had to separate because Galih was forced to marry Lina Srijaya, the eldest daughter of the Srijaya Family. Mrs Diana got brokenhearted and finally decided to go abroad. Meanwhile, Lina Srijaya died giving birth to Miss Keara..."
"So, Indah Srijaya, Galih's current wife, is not Keara's biological mother?" Aiden asked. He immediately realized the gist of the information Harris provided.
"After Mrs. Diana returned to Indonesia, she has become a prominent parfumeur. At that time, many men chased her and wanted to marry her, including Galih Pratama. Galih wanted to reconcile with Mrs. Diana but she didn't want to be part of the Pratama Family. She didn't want to be a stepmother, especially during her heyday, so she finally chose to marry Deny Tedjasukmana."
"At that time, not a single person in this city wanted to be a stepmother for Galih's daughter. Only the Srijaya family treated Galih and Keara so well that in the end, Galih married Indah Srijaya, the younger sister of his late wife." Harris said, explaining the entire history of Galih Pratama's love affair.
Aiden nodded while tapping his fingers on the table. He digested all the information provided by Harris.
Of course Diana did not want to marry Galih because at that time, Galih was a widower with one child. Meanwhile, Deny was a single man who came from an affluent family. How could a famous parfumeur like Diana choose a widower like Galih over Deny? There was nothing wrong with Diana's choice at that point.
"Then how about their relationship after that?" Aiden asked.
"Mrs Diana was very famous at that time. Deny Tedjasukmana and the rest of the Tedjasukmana Family loved her very much. Meanwhile, the Pratama Family has experienced a decline so that Galih is busy taking care of his family problems. He didn't have time to think about love. There isn't any relationship between them after they separated."
That's why Harris was sure that Anya was not Galih's daughter because after separating, Galih and Diana never got in touch again. They were already busy with their respective lives.
After finishing conveying all the information he had, Harris asked Aiden, "Sir, are you worried about the relationship between Madame and the Pratama Family?"
"Hmm..." Aiden muttered incoherently.
"Sir, I think this is just a coincidence. Madam is the biological daughter of Deny Tedjasukmana and Diana Hutama. It just so happens that she has a face similar to Miss Keara." Harris said, expressing his opinion to Aiden.
The expression on Aiden's face returned to calm. Then he told Harris what he had found overseas, "Harris, I saw Keara when I was abroad." He said softly.
Harris was surprised to hear the news. Aiden saw Keara while he was abroad. Then what about Nadine?
"Is there any news about Miss Nadine?" Harris asked anxiously.
Aiden shook his head, "I only saw Keara briefly. When I wanted to chase her, Keara suddenly disappeared. But since she's still alive, I'm sure Nadine's fine too."
Keara and Nadine disappeared together. So, if Keara was still alive, it meant Nadine was also safe. She should be fine.
Harris closed his eyes and tried to calm himself. As long as Nadine was fine, that was enough for him…
"Sir, if Miss Keara returns, what will you do? What about Madame?" Harris asked.
"She will return to her original position and expect nothing." Aiden said in his cold voice.
The man did not notice that Anya was behind the door and listened to what he had to say. Her hand that was about to open the door stopped in place, then fell weakly beside her body.
Her feet were stuck on the ground, her head was buzzing.
'She will return to his original position and expect nothing...'
The words were very sharp, making Anya's heart bleed. She knew that she was just a substitute for Keara, but somehow her heart still hurt.
Keara was back and she would return to her position ...
She would return to where she belonged ...
