Chapter 773 - Running Away

"Anya, did you miss me?" All the tiredness that Aiden felt immediately disappeared as he got a call from Anya.

"I missed you and I can't sleep right now. What are you doing?" Anya asked with a smile.

"I'm working overtime. Nico ran away from work. Brother Ivan is taking care of his mother's funeral and he needs time now. He can't go back to work," Aiden said.

"Did you handle all their work?" Anya also felt pressured to hear that. "You need lots of rest. Get Harris to help you."

"How are you?" Aiden asked.

"Other than missing you, everything is fine. If I miss you too much, I'll be home early," Anya said with a smile.

"Tell me if you want to go home, I'll pick you up," Aiden said.

"I heard Jessica came to see you. Why did she come?" Anya asked, pretending to be jealous.

"Do you remember the land owned by the Hermawan Group? Jessica came to offer me the land," Aiden didn't hide it.

Anya rolled on the bed thinking about it and said, "Aiden, don't believe her. Even if she wants to sell the land cheaply, don't buy it."

"Why can't I buy it?" Aiden asked on purpose.

"Jessica is really mad at you. If she could get a high selling price, she would definitely give up the land to Rudi. But now, she turned away from Rudi and sold the land to you. That means it's not the time to buy the land, but to find out why Rudi doesn't want to buy it," Anya said calmly.

Aiden laughed at that. "Anya, are you really not willing to work for the company and help me?"

Anya laughed back, but then she refused. "No, I'll let you lead the company.  I better raise Iris."

Galih also wants her to take over the Pratama Group. Now Aiden wants her to help the Atmajaya Group. But she didn't want to work for either. Anya wants to do the things she likes.

Keara wanted to be a female CEO that men would drool over. But Anya is not like her sister. She just wants to do the work she loves.

After Galih got in prison, the Pratama Group was managed by a professional manager. Anya only needs to attend the shareholders' meeting as she doesn't have to lead the company.

Since Aiden was watching them, the professional manager didn't dare to do anything that could harm the group. They are very careful in managing the Pratama Group.

When Aiden heard Anya's cheerful voice, his mood improved a lot. "I will earn a lot of money for our family. You just need to do what you want. Now go to sleep, it's late."

"You too, don't sleep too late, okay? Ah, Jenny now lives with my mother. You have to keep an eye on her too," said Anya.

"What do you mean?" Aiden massaged the bridge of his nose. Bima also had time to talk about Rudi. Then Jenny suddenly ran away from home without contacting anyone.

"Do you remember why Raka and Natali were originally engaged?" Anya asked, hinting at Aiden.

When Raka was drunk, Natali took a photo of them together to make sure they could get engaged. In the end, Natali's wish was granted.

Anya was afraid that the same thing would happen to Jenny.

Aiden nodded and reassured his wife. "I understand. I'll remind Jenny. You have fun with the kids. No need to worry."

"Alright. Good night, my husband," Anya hugged her phone and gave Aiden a kiss from afar.

…

Jenny had been staying at Diana's house for a week. Now, Andre and his wife came to pick her up.

Andre is Aiden's uncle. He and his wife, Nina, could not have children so they decided to adopt Jenny, who is now their favorite child.

But Jenny turned out to be not only their daughter, but also the daughter of the Atmajaya Family. If Bima wanted Jenny to marry Rudi, they wouldn't be able to fight back.

Nina took her daughter's hand and said, "Jenny, let's go home with mama."

"I don't want to," Jenny refused.

"Jenny, I know you don't like Rudi. Let me talk to your grandfather about this," said Andre.

"I am your daughter. I don't even have Atmajaya in my name. Why should those people control my marriage? They were never involved in my life and did not spend a penny on me. Now, they want to sell me for more money. Why?!" Jenny shouted angrily.

"Will you be able to solve the problem by running away from home and living here?" Nina said.

"This house is close to my uncle's house. Grandma Diana is also my aunt's mother. Only uncle Aiden wants to help me! You guys thought I was reckless and ran off to some random place but I just wanted to ask my uncle for help and let him decide for me. Papa and mama, you guys just go home!" Jenny pushed Andre and Nina into the park.

When the couple came, Diana immediately gave them the space and walked to the garden so as not to disturb them. When she returned, however, she found Jenny still at her house.

"Jenny, didn't you go back with your parents?" Diana asked.

"They can't help me. What do I gain from going back with them anyway? It won't solve the problem. I'd better stay here until uncle Aiden finds a way." Jenny smiled mischievously.

Diana laughed at that. "What would you like to eat for tonight, kid? How about oxtail soup?"

"I like it!" Jenny then helps Diana to wash the vegetables she picked up from the garden.

"I'll also make scrambled eggs with chili sauce later. Ah, I made a fried duck earlier." Diana is  very warm. Now she lives alone after Anya is married. Jenny's presence made her very happy.

"I came to the right place!" Jenny clapped happily.

While Diana was cooking in the kitchen, Jenny helped her wash the rice and cook it.

Only Jenny and Diana shared their dinner that evening, but they enjoyed their time talking and laughing.

The bodyguards who stayed at Diana's house to look after them were also warmly welcomed and offered the meals they made.

When a guard was eating in the panel room, he saw a strange man standing at the door through the CCTV.

The bodyguard went straight into the house and reported to Diana. "Madam, there's a man in front of your door."

At the same time, the doorbell rang. Rudi's face was visible from the intercom's screen.

Jenny suspected Jessica was the one who told Rudi her location.

She took time off from Atmajaya Group, ran away from home and hid at Diana's house.

Only Jessica knew the address of this house since she had come to look for Aiden.

"Is anybody home?" Rudi saw the lights in the house were on and there was a CCTV in front of the door. He knew that someone was inside.

"Don't open the door for him. Tell uncle's bodyguard to kick him out," said Jenny.

"Madam, do I need to expel him?" The guard asked seriously. He was ready to fight anyone that threatened his master.

Diana immediately stopped him. "Let me open the door. This person is a guest. There's no point in rejecting them. And this is the CEO of Aditya Group. It won't be good if we offend him."

"I avoided him but he's still looking for me. Does he not understand? I didn't like him and tried to run away from him. I've never seen such a shameless person!" Jenny was really angry.
