"You do look a bit handsome and you want to use that face of yours to get rich women. I've seen men like you many times. If you want to be with Tiara, you will only get losses. She is only an adopted child, not the biological child of this family. What else can you do without a rich woman?"
"Uncle!" Tiara shouted loudly. "Please be careful what you say. Rudi isn't that kind of a person!"
Rosa no longer knows how to persuade her husband. She decided to immediately apologize to Rudi. "I apologize for my husband's words. It seems he is confused and uttering nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Surya felt so angry to see his wife and niece going against him. "What are you afraid of? This man only has a handsome face to deceive women. I will not allow him to ruin the Tanuharja Family's party. Quickly get rid of him!"
As soon as the sentence came out of Surya's mouth, everyone around immediately made a commotion and chimed in.
"Surya, I didn't expect you to speak like this."
"Surya, are you not afraid of the consequences you will get for your words? Do you really feel that he only has a face?"
"Looks like this show is really interesting."
"The Tanuharja family is trying to get success by offending a member of the Aditya Family. Very stupid."
"Stupid, really stupid. Why does he prefer Leo over Rudi? He even wants to kick Rudi out of this party."
When he heard the discussion, Surya felt cold sweat running down his forehead. And then, he asked in a low voice, "Rudi? Aditya? Who exactly are they all talking about?"
"He is Rudi Aditya, the CEO of Aditya Group. I've been trying to warn you, but you won't listen to me. You didn't even give me a chance to talk," Rosa said shyly.
"What?!!" Surya's face immediately paled in a matter of seconds.
The corners of Rudi's lips twitched slightly as he tried to suppress the smile on his face. His eyebrows seemed to hide a mystery as he looked at Surya with a silly look.
Surya completely changed the expression on his face. Right now, he was remembering what he said to Rudi.
He asked Rudi to apologize to Leo.
He insulted him and said that he only relied on his handsome face to find rich women.
And he wanted to expel Rudi from this party.
Surya wants to dig a hole and hide there forever. If looks could kill, maybe he would kill Tiara a thousand times.
Tiara must have done all this on purpose. She had many opportunities to introduce Rudi to him, but she didn't say anything at all.
His annoyance and regret for his actions made Surya look at Rudi with an embarrassed face as the man walked out of the scene with Tiara.
After that, Jenny and Jonathan, Harris and Nadine, as well as Rudi and Tiara, left the place together.
Surya just realized what he was doing. He did not only taunt Rudi, who in fact is the owner of the Aditya Group. But he also offended the Atmajaya Family and the Srijaya Family with whom he had close ties.
Among all the guests present today, many people came because they wanted to get close to the three families.
However, after the Atmajaya Family, Srijaya Family and Aditya Family left, what else could they do?
In the end, the guests also started to leave the place one by one.
A large and majestic party instantly turned into ruin. Surya had made a grave mistake by offending several influential families in the city on the same day. He even lost cooperation with Leo.
"Tiara, don't come home tonight. Your uncle must be really mad at you," Jenny took her best friend's arm and said, "Just come with me."
"Thanks for coming today, Jenny. Look what happened earlier. I can't just run away. I have to go back home. I will speak to my uncle and aunt then explain to them. Otherwise, something like this will happen again," Tiara said calmly.
Nadine came to her and said softly, "Tiara, never sacrifice yourself just to please others. It's true that they raised you, but that doesn't mean they can ask you to repay all of their efforts to raise you in such a cruel way."
"If only Mrs. Hana had taken you with her at that time, this wouldn't have happened. She would raise you like her own daughter and wouldn't let you marry such a disgusting old man. How can your aunt be that evil?" Jenny feels angry for her best friend.
Tiara just smiled bitterly. "My aunt has no other choice. All of this because my uncle's company is in trouble."
"You set up a bar on your own and are quite skilled at doing your job. If you want, you can work at my company. I'll give you the position of a manager," said Rudi.
"You can also work at my company. If you help me, Jenny will be happy too. You guys can work together," Jonathan suggested.
"Atmajaya Group can also give you a position that suits your abilities. You don't have to work at the bar anymore and help your aunt," Harris said.
"Thank you. If I lose my job later, I will definitely look for one of you," Tiara said gratefully.
"Tiara, are you really not willing to come with me?" Jenny asked anxiously.
"I thank you for your help today. But only I can solve this problem on my own," Tiara refused Jenny's kindness politely.
"Anyway, you should call me before going to bed. If they do something to you, you should report it to me immediately," said Jenny.
Rudi's deep eyes swept across Tiara's face. He could see that the woman in front of him was pretending to be strong and calm. "If you need anything, you can also call me."
"Once again, thank you all for your help. Good night," Tiara smiled and waved at them, escorting them to their respective cars.
Until their cars were all out of sight, Tiara could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She watched all the guests leave while still standing in front of the door.
When Tiara returned to the house, she saw Rosa being kicked out of the house. Rosa did not want to leave the house and continued to hold on to her door.
Surya was really ashamed of today's incident.
He felt embarrassed, angry and annoyed. But since Tiara left to take the guests home, he finally took his anger out on Rosa.
"Auntie, I'm sorry," Tiara felt guilty when she saw how her aunt was getting kicked out of the house at night.
Rosa's eyes reddened as she looked at Tiara. She picked up her bag on the floor and said, "Why did you come back? Don't you know your uncle is angry?"
"Auntie, wait here. Let me explain everything to him," Tiara said stubbornly.
"Explain what? Your cousin cheated and lost a lot of money. Your uncle has no money so he wanted to do this to you. I told him not to force you if you didn't want to, but he wouldn't listen to me. What else do you need to explain to him? Do you want him to sell you again?" Rosa held Tiara's hand. "Listen to me. Don't go back inside."
"Auntie, I can't go. What will you do if I leave?" Tiara doesn't want to go.
"Your uncle always felt that I was useless. I gave birth to a loser, stupid and gullible child. He thought I didn't educate my child properly and that my child only added to the problem at a time of need like this. Everything I did was wrong in his eyes. Anyway, I just found out that he also has a mistress in Hong Kong so I'll just divorce him. Am I going to starve to death if I'm not with him? No!" Rosa took Tiara's hand and stopped a taxi. They returned to the apartment where Tiara lived together.
It was Rosa who gave the small apartment to her because it was closer to the bar so Tiara could work easily from there.
When returning to the apartment, Rosa took Tiara's hand and they sat together on the sofa. "Tiara, please don't blame this aunt of yours."
"I don't blame you, auntie. I know you also have problems to deal with." Tiara nodded obediently.
