Hearing his adoptive father's na being called, Brian's laughter died down in an instant. One of his eyebrows rose.
"Is it possible that you think you are already in power in this country? So you can act openly."
"Huh, what a fool."
Brian clenched his fists. He never expected that his current interlocutor knew his adoptive father. With just that, everyone could imdiately tell that Mr. Devan was not a random person and was not as simple as he seed.
In Brian's mind he wondered, What is the relationship between Devan and his father?
"What right do you have to question my actions? Huh?" Brian started to anger.
"Don't forget where you are now, Mr. BRIAN," replied Devan scornfully.
"Watch your attitude," Kevin took a step forward and wanted to throw a punch at Devan but was stopped by Brian.
"S-Sir..."
Brian snorted as he threw Kevin's hand away. "Co back," he said.
"Okay, sir," Kevin replied imdiately.
"Don't think I'm going back today because I'm afraid of you, NOT AT ALL," Brian said, pointing straight at Devan's face.
"See you next ti," he added and turned around.
"Ah, I almost forgot. Tell Anna that I will co back later" he said as he stopped his steps for a mont and then resud.
Saw Brian walk back to the car, all the people wearing black clothes backed off, as well as those who were struggling with Hendra.
Until a few monts later, there was nothing left in the man's yard other than Devan's Ferrari.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, sir," said Hendra, to which Deden nodded. The two bowed apologetically in front of the man.
"Are you hurt?"
"Not at all, sir," answered Hendra.
"Um then forget it," replied Devan.
"Bring Max a break. Looks like he's hurt," he added.
Hearing this, both Deden and Hendra, looked at each other. This was the first ti Mr. Devan had ntioned the real na of any of the three of them.
"Yes sir," said Hendra and Deden almost simultaneously, then said goodbye.
"Wait," Devan suddenly stopped them.
"Let Hendra do it."
"anwhile, Deden, you will temporarily replace Lukman's duties, and don't let anyone enter, whoever it is without my permission."
"You understand?"
"Yes sir," they answered almost simultaneously.
Hearing that, Devan nodded then turned to open the door. He still had things to do.
Right after the door opened, Devan imdiately stepped in, his brow furrowed when he found no one inside.
'Where are they?'
Faintly he heard a voice from behind, imdiately Devan followed the source of the sound which turned out to be taking him to the backyard.
Devan's brow furrowed but only for a few seconds, his eyes caught Byanca who was dragging Anna, and pushed her into the pool.
"Anna," shouted Devan running to the edge of the pool.
And that made Byanca startled with bulging eyes, her gaze looked horror when she saw the man approaching her.
"What are you doing?" Devan pulled Byanca back and pushed her away from the pool.
While on the other hand, Anna who is already in the water is now trying to get up, the woman is not very good at swimming making it look very difficult. She even thought that this was the end of her life.
When she felt soone grab her hand, Anna tried to grip it tightly.
'Help .'
'Please save ,' Anna thought.
Until Devan carried her up and lay her body on the edge of the pool.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Anna didn't answer, the woman just shook her head. Her chest felt tight and heavy, making her breath sound hoarse.
"I'm sorry," Devan said touching Anna's hand but was imdiately pushed away by the woman.
Yes, a while ago when Byanca continued to treat her badly, Anna fought back but as a result, Byanca's anger exploded.
With her small body, what can she do? And this is how it ended, Byanca dragged her into the pool and pushed her.
"Devan, why are you helping her?" Byanca approached.
"Who exactly is your future wife?"
Hearing that, Devan's jaw tightened and rose from his position.
"Since when did I have a future wife with a cruel attitude like you?"
"You defended her?"
"I'm not defending anyone."
"If only I had co a little longer, you might have killed her, Byanca."
"So what? It's fitting for her because she seduces my future husband."
"Even if she's dead I'm still not satisfied, you should know that."
"From then until now you are mine Devan," added Byanca.
Devan chuckled at Byanca's words. "Why are you talking like that only now? After everything you did back then, you should have co to your senses."
"De-Devan, but I already apologized. We'll be getting married soon, so it's natural for to feel jealous like this. You understand." Byanca's tone of voice suddenly changed, which had previously been elevated was now normal as usual. It seed the woman was trying hard to contain herself.
"Reasonable?" Devan chuckles.
"Now you're out!" said Devan with one hand pointing towards the door.
Hearing that, Byanca glanced at Anna who was sobbing, her hands clenched into fists, she then stomped her feet hard on the floor and turned away without saying a word.
"Anna, your hand is bleeding."
"Your face is bruised."
"Your elbow too," said Devan checking Anna's condition.
"That woman has gone too far," muttered Devan touching Anna's shoulder but was again pushed aside by the woman.
"Don't touch ."
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Now you stand up and co in, change your clothes, later you can catch a cold," said Devan.
But not once did the woman move from her position, still sobbing, the clear grains that continuously escaped her eyelids rged with the pool water that still wet her face, occasionally sobbing, also her appearance was so ssy and very sad.
Waiting a few minutes patiently, a rough sigh escaped from between Devan's lips.
"You can't go on like this Anna. You have to change your clothes," said Devan.
"I'm sorry," said Anna in a hoarse voice.
"Because of , Byanca got mad at you," she added.
"No, you're not wrong. Why to apologize?" replied Devan.
"Now don't think about it, and stand up. Co on in," he added.
Anna was still sobbing, slowly, she used her hands to support her and got up from her position.
It is just...
"Ahhh..." Anna winced as she felt pain in her palms and elbows.. Even almost lost her balance if Devan didn't imdiately grab her and help her.
