Chapter 987 - Tested By Time

"Tell Aiden to investigate. Maybe he can find something. By the way, the day your father had an accident, he wanted to go to the civil registry office," Indah said with a smile. 

"Right, I did it."

"Mother, what are you saying?" Anya asked in surprise.

"I got someone to sneak into the registry office and thwart their marriage registration. That night, Jessica was so angry that she couldn't sleep. When they went outside to eat, the accident happened," said Indah.

"So if they couldn't get married that day, wouldn't they still be able to register the marriage the next day? Why was she so angry?" Diana shook her head. "She's not really human."

"Right. Actually, they could come back tomorrow. And I knew something would happen to them," said Indah.

Anya looked at her mother who remained calm, but her heart felt even more panicked.

"Mother, what exactly do you know?" Anya asked.

"When Jessica did a DNA test on the child in her womb, I already knew that your father's death was near. Tell Aiden to investigate the car accident and have it checked. Don't forget to search after Eka too. In the past, I kept quiet because I was very satisfied with the results. But if he dares to disturb our family, I will not remain silent." Indah smiled and put down her teacup.

Anya felt her heart break. Even though she is not close to her father and does not love him as much as a child who grows up with their parents, it does not mean that she would just sit back and let him die.

"Mom, if you knew something was going to happen to dad, why didn't you tell him?" Anya asked.

"Why should I tell him? If I told him, would he believe me? I was married to him for decades. Do you remember how he treated me when he wanted a divorce? I also worked hard with him to build the Pratama Group from scratch. But in the end, he had an affair with another woman and wanted to marry her. Why should I share everything I've worked so hard for over the years with that woman?" Indah's voice became cold.

Diana gestured for Anya to stop talking. So far, Anya has lived happily and peacefully because of Aiden's love for her. She had never experienced what it felt like to be betrayed.

"You knew Jessica was going to do something to Galih after getting married so you blocked their marriage registration. Actually, you want to save Galih, right?" Diana asked in a soft voice.

Indah looks pensive for a moment. "I don't know. I just didn't want them to register their marriage."

"You only blocked it once. They could've registered it the day after," said Anya.

"Right. But in the end, they couldn't register their marriage. You need to investigate Eka. There was no way he didn't know that his daughter wanted to get married. If it's true that Eka knows, try to think about what he will do. Do you think he will just sit still?" Indah smiled bitterly. "He wants to ruin my family. I'm not going to stand still and let myself be the only one to dirty my hands alone."

"What?" Diana was shocked and accidentally spilled her teacup because she was too panicked.

"The news on the internet is not fabricated, but it's true. It's just that the killer isn't my mother, but that old fart named Eka," while thinking about this, Anya immediately called Aiden's cell phone.

When Aiden received the call, he had just taken care of a news issue on the internet.

"Don't worry. All the news has been deleted," Aiden said softly. "Are you at your mother's house now?"

"Yes, mother is fine. She asked you to investigate Eka. She suspects that the accident has something to do with him. He is the mastermind behind father's murder," said Anya nervously.

"I'm investigating it. Actually, I was suspicious too. Before this, I did not continue this matter because Adrian was entrusted to you, along with the Pratama Group and all the property of the Pratama Family. I think that is the best result. Plus, I'm afraid you won't be strong enough to find out that your father was murdered. At that time, you had just given birth," said Aiden.

"This bastard killed my father and took my money. I won't just forgive him," Anya said angrily.

"Some people are just straight out greedy. We've given a large amount of money to him, to let him go from our lives. But he couldn't get rid of his greed and wanted to get more. Let him feel his bad karma," if Aiden decides to act, Eka won't be able to escape anywhere.

It only took Aiden three days to get all the evidence.

When Eka got the news, he immediately bought a plane ticket to escape. But security at the airport immediately stopped him.

The truck driver who spread the news on the internet finally admits that it was Eka's assistant who gave him the money to kill Galih.

Eka kept denying the accusation. Until he died, he did not intend to open his mouth.

But unfortunately, his assistant confessed everything and became a witness to this incident.

24 years ago, the assistant tried to persuade Eka because there was not only Galih in the car, but also Jessica, who was Eka's own daughter.

Eka's answer at that time was, "It's better for them to die together. What's the point of taking care of that child? It's only going to waste my time and resources."

However, he didn't expect that Jessica and Galih weren't married that day and changed his schedule to the next day.

Jessica felt that the registration was only one day apart and she was afraid her father would be disappointed in her, so she didn't tell Eka that their marriage registration failed that day.

Eka had prepared everything, without knowing that Jessica's status was not Galih's wife. If Galih and Jessica died, he thought he could get half of the Pratama Group.

His life will return to how it used to be!

But who would have thought that the marriage had not yet happened.

With the evidence and testimony from his assistant, Eka couldn't run anymore. Even if he didn't admit it, the evidence was enough to destroy him.

Eka had no other choice but to admit his crime.

The internet was shocked again by this news. Who would have thought that the killer of Galih and Jessica turned out to be Eka, who is none other than Jessica's own biological father.

He sold his daughter for wealth and killed her for money. He can be labeled as the worst father in history.

"This old man is so evil. Luckily, I stopped him," Bella was very surprised when she saw the news on the internet.

"Is he looking for trouble with you?" Adel asked curiously. Why do you know Eka?

Anya cleared her throat softly, warning Bella not to say anything wrong. Then she raised her glass, pretending to drink because she was choking.

Bella is a smart girl and she immediately understands her aunt's subtle gesture. "Wasn't the daughter of this evil man almost the wife of the owner of the Pratama Group? She came to the Pratama Group two days in a row and demanded her rights but got her fair share of karma from God instead. Isn't that crazy?"

"My wise grandfather had to die because of them. After that, the bastard old man still dared to come to the Pratama Group. He really has no brain," Adel frowned.

"That's right! Even animals will not eat their own children. This man is very evil. Now he can't do anything and his child won't be able to take Sis Lili from Brother Aksa right?" Bella immediately changed the subject. "Let's ask Sis Lili, when will she end her engagement and marry Brother Aksa."

"What if Brother Aksa holds a wedding party with Brother Arka on the same day?" Adel said excitedly.

"Brother Arka and Brother Aksa are twins. Holding a wedding together is a very good idea!" Bella cheered along.

"Arka's marriage is much more urgent now. Sabrina is pregnant. If the marriage continues to be postponed, the pregnancy will be noticed soon. Aksa and Lili can still wait. There's no need to rush." Anya felt that marriage was a big problem. They need the blessing of their parents to be happy.

The Mandala family probably still doesn't know that Lili is dating Aksa. They still have a long way to go. They need to get to know each other first, also each other's families, then get engaged and finally married.

Also, Lili won't be able to marry Aksa right after she ends her engagement with another man.

Couples who love each other can face the test of time and Anya is sure her son will be able to win Lili's heart completely.

"Mother, are you sure?" Adel turned her head right and left, looking around her. When she realized that her father wasn't there, she said boldly. "Brother Aksa and Sis Lili already live together. Who knows if they will catch up with Arka and Sabrina soon."
