Chapter 436 - Naif

[Tara]: 'Anya, look at the photo. Is that really Natali?'

Anya decided not to reply to Tara's message as she didn't know what to say.

Her hands were shaking a little while reading the news. After reading it carefully, she realized that Natali had been rescued by an old man who lived on the outskirts of the town. He saw that many men gathered in the garden and felt that something was wrong.

The old man immediately called the police when he realized that the grim-looking men were taking turns raping a beautiful young woman.

No one knew how Natali got there. What really happened?

Anya couldn't see the photos scattered on the internet anymore. She thought that the police would immediately arrest Natali once all the evidence of her crime had been gathered.

But she did not think that this terrible incident would happen to Natali.

Suddenly, Anya remembered that Aiden came home very late last night. Did it have something to do with him?

She felt very uncomfortable when she thought about it. Even though Natali was not related by blood with her and repeatedly tried to harm her, she didn't want Aiden to do something this cruel.

Anya did not want her child's father to commit such an atrocity.

Natali was not a good woman. But that did not mean she could be punished this way.

Leaving her and getting raped by many men in turns was far more cruel than killing her.

"Anya, don't look at your cellphone while you're eating," Diana pulled her chair and sat opposite her.

"Mother, eat first. I want to make a call for a while," Anya brought her cellphone and ran to her garden.

She immediately called her husband, but Harris picked up the call instead. "Madame, Mr. Aiden is in a meeting. He cannot pick up your call now. Is there anything I can help?"

"Something happened to Natali. Did Aiden do it?" Anya asked without further ado.

"No," Harris replied briefly, but very firmly.

"You know where Aiden went last night, right?" Anya asked again.

"Mr. Aiden did meet with Miss Natali last night. He also found the cellphone that Miss Natali used to contact Nurse Dina and handed it over to the police. By now, he has sufficient evidence to imprison Miss Natali. He's not going to do anything…" Before Harris finished speaking, the call had been cut off.

Harris stood still in his place with a doubtful heart before he finally decided to enter the meeting room.

Seeing Harris enter the meeting room and disrupt the course of the meeting, Aiden looked at him with displeasure. But Aiden knew that Harris wouldn't bother him if things weren't important.

"What's wrong?" Aiden asked.

Harris immediately whispered a few sentences in Aiden's ear. Aiden nodded and immediately gave order. "Quickly find out what happened!"

"Yes, sir," without waiting any longer, Harris immediately came out of the meeting room to carry out Aiden's order.

Nico stared at Harris, who hurriedly left the meeting room, recalling the news he had read on the internet. His first reaction to the news was to suspect his uncle. He was very sure that his uncle was behind it.

But now, when he saw the look on his uncle's face, maybe this matter had nothing to do with Aiden at all.

After the meeting ended, Aiden returned to his office and immediately contacted Anya. But Anya refused to answer Aiden's call.

Therefore, Aiden decided to contact Hana to ask about his wife's condition.

When getting a call from Aiden, Hana looked very, very 'happy'. 

"Sir, you finally called back. Anya doesn't want to have breakfast. I also asked her what she would like to eat for lunch, but she didn't want to answer."

"Have you tried to persuade her?" Aiden asked.

"Mrs. Diana has tried to persuade her, but she is very stubborn. We don't know what really happened and we don't know what to do," Hana said frantically.

"Just leave her be. If Anya doesn't want to eat, just let her starve," Aiden hung up the call and threw his cell phone on the table.

At around 11 noon, the police came to the Atmajaya Group's company.

"Mr Aiden, Miss Natali reported that you kidnapped her, robbed all her documents and cell phone and ordered several men to rape her on the outskirts of the town. Please come with us to carry out further investigation."

"You can talk to my lawyer," Aiden said nonchalantly. He completely ignored the police in front of him and did not want to cooperate with them.

"Mr. Aiden, we ask for your cooperation," said one of the policemen.

"Natali said that I had kidnapped her and paid people to rape her. But where is the proof? If there's no evidence, you can't force me to come with you to the police station just because someone's baseless report. Sorry, I'm so busy right now. My assistant will tell you my schedule yesterday," Aiden replied.

Harris suddenly entered the room with Atmajaya Group's attorneys. "Mr. Aiden, your client is waiting in the conference room,"

"Sorry, I still have to work. If there's anything you need, just ask my assistants and lawyers," Aiden got up and left his office.

Harris immediately gave two CCTV footage to the police. At 9.50 PM yesterday, Natali arrived at the door of the hospital where her father was being treated.

Another CCTV footage showed that Aiden had returned to his home at 10 p.m.

It could be seen that when Natali was at the door of the hospital, Aiden was at his house. There was no way Aiden could have kidnapped her in such a short time.

"I suggest that you investigate what Miss Natali did and where she went after 9.50pm. Before this happened, Mr. Aiden had already obtained evidence of the crime that was committed by Miss Natali. There was no point in it for Mr. Aiden to kidnap her," Harris said calmly.

"We will bring these two CCTV recordings for further identification and analysis. If there is new information, you can contact us directly. Also, Mr. Aiden is not allowed to leave Indonesia until this case is over."

Harris nodded and accepted the results of this investigation. He could ask the Atmajaya Group attorneys to solve this travel ban problem easily.

He also knew that these cops were suspicious of his master because Aiden had a very strong motive for doing this. Natali repeatedly tried to harm Anya so that Aiden was suspected for taking out a revenge.

Anya too, was also suspicious of him.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Aiden left the office and headed home.

Upon seeing Aiden, Hana immediately approached him with relief. "Sir, you are home. Anya is still in her room. I already said that today she had to go to the hospital to have her pregnancy checked, but she locked herself in the room and wouldn't come out,"

Diana was in the park when Aiden arrived. When she heard Aiden's voice, she immediately went into the house.

"Aiden, can I talk to you for a moment?" Diana asked.

Hana immediately left the room to give privacy to Aiden and Diana. Aiden approached Diana and helped his mother-in-law to sit on the sofa.

"You can ask me anything," Aiden said calmly.

"If you weren't the one doing all this to Natali, someone is trying to frame you. Maybe their aim is to ruin your marriage with Anya. Anya is very panicked because of yesterday's incident. When she found out that Natali was going through something like this, she was afraid. She was afraid that her husband and the father of her child are a cruel man," said Diana.

Aiden's eyes looked a little disappointed when he heard Diana's words. "Anya said she loved me, but she never trusted me. I know I'm not good at explaining what I'm doing,"

"All of this is my fault. I protected her much so that Anya was very naive. I hope you can reconsider that Anya is very young, I'm sure she will grow up over time," said Diana. 

"Aiden, your wife is very young. Give her some time to develop. You can't be too controlling. You also have to respect her. Anya is your wife, not your daughter. Do you understand?"
