Chapter 449 - Caught

"I'm worried about Ivan and I don't know how Keara can persuade him to break the engagement. Ivan didn't care about himself at all. He even broke off his engagement, saying that he might be paralyzed for life. If it's like this, who wants to be his wife?" 

Bima didn't want to tell Imel the real problem so he used Ivan as an excuse.

"My son is handsome and smart. How could he not find a good wife?" Imel said proudly.

"But Ivan is..."

"But what? Even though everyone said that he's just an illegitimate child and his status is no higher than Aiden's, I didn't feel that way. I hope you don't think like those people either. Don't ever hurt my son," said Imel.

"Do you think I don't love Ivan? I gave the same to my three sons and even gave my overseas company for him. When he married and had children, his child's status remained the same as Nico's. I will never have any favoritism," said Bima.

"But now Aiden is the largest shareholder in the Atmajaya Group. When your wife died, all shares in her name went to Aiden. Nico owned his own shares and also inherited his father's shares. Only Ivan doesn't have anything," Imel said irritably.

"What do you want? Give all my shares to Ivan?" Bima's voice turned cold. "Why?"

"I don't need your shares even if we get married. You don't need to give me anything, just give it to Ivan," Imel was worried because Bima was old. What if his blood pressure rose again and he suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage?

What would happen to her without Bima?

Bima looked at Imel coldly. He knew what Imel was thinking.

"The shares owned by Aiden's mother came from her own grandfather, not from the Atmajaya family," Bima said in a flat voice.

The expression on Imel's face immediately changed. She felt her heart stir and fall into chaos. She thought she could get a portion of the shares from the Atmajaya family and raise her son's status.

Even though her marriage to Bima would not work out for her, she would become Mrs. Atmajaya. And after Bima died, she would have the highest position.

"Imel, I'm too old to be with you. I also want to be selfish and be with you. But if I died, would you want to spend your whole life in the Atmajaya Family like Maria?" Bima asked.

Imel shed her tears. "I know you are the best for me. I want to marry you, not because of the name Atmajaya or your property. I just don't want other people to call Ivan an illegitimate child,"

"If I marry you, does that mean that the title will disappear from him?" Bima asked.

"Bima…" Imel looked at Bima in surprise. "I don't care if other people say it. But do you also think that Ivan is an illegitimate child?"

"In my eyes, all my sons are the same. Only you cannot remove that title from Ivan. Everyone doesn't care where Ivan is from, but you feel that Ivan was born outside of marriage. He is the second son of the Atmajaya Family and everyone recognizes him so. Only you have different thoughts," Bima said cruelly.

Ivan was nice and polite. His face was handsome, his appearance was also extraordinary. He had a good character and above average abilities.

If only Aiden would accept Ivan and admit him as his brother, who would dare insult Ivan? But unfortunately, Imel's existence made Aiden hate Ivan.

Maria and Nico were important figures in maintaining harmony in the Atmajaya Family. They didn't just manage to win Bima's heart, their relationship with Aiden and Ivan was just as good.

Bima might be harsh and grumble at Nico's childish attitude often. But Nico was still his favorite grandson and Bima loved him very much.

However, Imel often said bad things about Nico in front of Bima, more than once.

Bima could understand that Imel wanted to boast and defend her son. That was a fair thing. But trying to raise her son's name by speaking ill of Nico in front of Bima was a big mistake. Bima felt disappointed.

In his opinion, Imel was only eyeing the position of Mrs. Atmajaya. If he let Imel into the Atmajaya Family, how could his family live in peace?

"In the end, you really don't want to marry me. It's not that Aiden or Nico disagree, but you yourself don't really want me," Imel said sadly.

Bima's blood pressure was unstable so he was hospitalized. But Imel visited him and only made him feel even more annoyed.

"Whatever. I always gave my all for you and I will never treat Ivan badly. But you are so greedy that I can't satisfy your desires. Go. I'm tired," Bima had no appetite anymore and told Imel to leave him.

"You are so cruel. How could you throw me out like this..." Imel covered her face and came out of the room crying.

Bima could only sigh when Imel left. Finally, the atmosphere was much calmer.

…

At two in the afternoon, Harris entered Aiden's office. "Sir, around one o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Imel went to Heru's apartment and had not come out yet. The people we sent have taken the photo using the drone and sent it to your email,"

"Send the photo to Ivan and tell him the address of Heru's apartment. Let him take care of this matter," Aiden said coldly.

"Sir, this is Mrs. Imel's problem…"

"Imel is Ivan's mother and he can't break apart from her. Don't tell dad. I don't want my father to be emotional anymore. Just tell Ivan," Aiden said as his entire body gave off a cold and dark aura.

Harris immediately obeyed Aiden's order and sent Ivan a photo and address of Heru's apartment.

Ivan's face immediately looked grim. His hand almost crushed the cell phone he was holding. He only replied briefly to Harris' message, saying that he knew what he had to do.

On the way to Heru's apartment, some thoughts crossed Ivan's mind.

He knew that Heru had liked his mother all this time. Over the years, Heru had always looked after him and his mother, whether in personal matters or in matters of his work with the Atmajaya Family.

However, Ivan couldn't accept that his mother was involved with two men. If her mother wanted to have a relationship with Heru, she could leave his father. If not, she should choose to leave Heru…

But Ivan did not accept that his mother went to Heru's apartment when she had just visited his father in the hospital…

Ivan appeared at Heru's apartment and saw Imel's private car in the parking lot. Imel rarely used the car and most of the time, it was always in the garage.

Today, Imel used the car because she didn't want anyone to recognize her.

She thought she could hide herself. But as it turned out, Aiden knew everything.

Instead of telling Bima and making his father sick again, Aiden decided to tell Ivan. In addition, Aiden didn't want to embarrass Ivan so that he could take care of his own family matters.

Ivan's heart was filled with doubts. Should he catch them in the apartment?

Finally, he decided to call Anya. "Anya, if someone likes your mother, would you agree if they ended up together?"
