"Do whatever you want with him according to the Hadinata family rules. Betrayal is appropriate to be punished" Eli told Marius. Simultaneously, he took out a memory card and placed it on a nightstand nearby.
"I brought Dara into this house to help with my plan. But one day he brought a woman with him to see me."
"Our goal is different, but he's willing to help me. So I let her into the house without knowing how she really is."
"Different?" asked Marius.
"He wants you. He's obsessed with you. Sometimes he'll come just to see you."
"Therefore, when he saw Miss Ana, he said he wanted to meet her and see for himself. That's when she put the toy snake herself in Miss Ana's room."
"His jealousy intensified as he looked at you and Miss Ana got closer. That's when she and Dara planned the strawberries out of my knowledge. So is the snake's toy."
"Dara said my name to protect the woman. I want to take the accusation for granted and let you punish me. But ... the girl ..."
Eli smiled recalling all of Ana's previous words.
"... Now I understand why you love her so much" Eli said as he looked at Marius.
"I'm handing this thing over to you. There's a lot of footage of my conversations with that woman. And also ... the people who are his accomplices who are in this house."
"I keep these in order to drive them away someday if I don't need them. Unexpectedly, I will use it to help you as well ... Rain."

......................
Marius awoke from his sleep due to the vibrations on his cell phone that he kept in his pants pocket. She saw Ana who was fast asleep next to her on her arm.
"Hmm .. I'm there now," said Marius answering his phone call.
Marius looked at his watch, still at half-twelve in the night. He looked back at Ana who was asleep. Seeing Ana fall asleep on top of her arm made her not want to leave.
But, he has to go. He has to finish everything.
He kissed the girl's forehead. "I'll be right back" whispered Marius.
Slowly she pulled his hand, and stood up from her bed so as not to wake Ana.
He made a blanket for Ana, kissed her on the girl's forehead again, and Marius left.
......................
At a fancy restaurant, Marius was sitting on a bench in the outdoor part of the restaurant. David and his men, were guarding around the door to forbid any disinterested person from approaching the area. Lucas himself was with Marius and stood some distance away from Marius.
The restaurant should have closed. But specifically for the night, Marius asks her to stay open, only for herself and the person she is waiting for her arrival.
Shortly after, a bodyguard opened the door to a young girl who looked sexy and expensive. Yes, with just one look, everything the girl wore was not cheap stuff.
The girl continued to walk with her centile towards Marius, followed by some of his guards.
"Hi, dear," said a girl standing in front of him with her spoiled smile. "I heard you wanted to see me."
Marius looked at the girl with his sharp gaze before he started their conversation.
"Tell me, what was Elainora Eugene Barnett doing, the daughter of Mr Harvey Barnett, president director of ARK Group, being in my house and harassing my people?" asked Marius.
The girl laughed flirtatiously in response to Marius' question. "To get your attention," replied the girl casually as she pulled the bench in front of her and sat down facing Marius. He was not at all afraid of Marius' gaze.
"You knew? I've tried so many things for you to see me, but you've always been a bitch" the girl continued, playing her lips.
"I deliberately came to the event you attended just to greet you, you don't want to see me. I came to greet you when I met you at the restaurant, you didn't reply either. I just want to talk to you. But why do you think so once?"
"Because your servant can help me, and he loves money, I'll take advantage of that opportunity."
"But even though I see you every day, you still don't see me. You know what, Marius? It's boring to see you from a distance."
"That's why you put the toy snake down, right?" asked Marius.
The girl laughed again, but her laughter looked cynical.
"It's just a toy, Marius. Kids liked it. Why should he be afraid?"
"You investigated Ana, right. That's why you know what he's afraid of" said Marius cynically.
"Tuh, right. You even called her name so sweetly. Since we've been here, you didn't call my name at all. Nora. My name is Nora, Marius. Come on donk."
"You're the one Ana met back then, right?" asked Marius ignoring Nora's request.
"Yes, it's me. But he asked too many questions" answered Nora.
"What did you do to Rain?"
"Just .. did my job to repay my favor to your butler. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been allowed to go to your house. He must have kicked me out when he found out I wasn't a waitress. He is really great at memorizing all the servants in your house" replied Nora who was back in a flirtatious tone.
"Did you know? Every time I go to your house, I'll see Rain. We used to talk. Shouldn't we be closer now?"
Marius was sure the meaning of the conversation was not as warm as he thought.
"This crazy girl must have intimidated Rain a lot. Therefore, Rain cried when Ana found him. He must have done this a long time ago," Marius thought furiously.
"About those strawberries, I swear it wasn't my idea. It wasn't me who planned it" said Nora who for the first time showed her seriousness.
"Then, who are you going to blame?," asked Marius who had already restrained his emotions.
"Don't do it, donk. You speak as if I were scapegoating them. I no longer agree to it."
"Hm ... Just blame your servant you're holding right now. What's-her-name? Dana's? The dasa? The virgin! Yes Dara! He's working with one of your bodyguards. I think they have a special relationship. They always look good. I'm so envious ..."
Yes, Marius knew that. As soon as Eli gives her the memory card, Marius gets proof of Dara's relationship with one of his bodyguards. Therefore, before Marius met Nora, he asked David to arrest his bodyguard.
That is the reason why Nora is not visible in CCTV cameras. Because the bodyguard has access to remove the most important parts. And no one suspected him, including David.
The bodyguard also provided the tapper tools for Dara. And Dara put it up in certain places.
Then Nora began to stand up to Marius and sit on the table facing Marius. He raised his finger and danced over Marius' chest just to tease him. Marius only looked at her sharply, but the girl was not afraid at all.
"So, don't be angry, yeah. I will do this to be with you" Nora said in a teasing voice.
Nora's finger movements increasingly lead to other parts. Marius immediately held onto Nora's wrist to stop her, then violently threw her down.
"You know you won't be able to catch me, right? You know my father, because you've been competing with each other for a long time. So, you know, my father would do anything to set me free."
"I know for you the law is easy. But, I can make you feel the pain you deserve," Marius said with a smile.
Nora straightened her body and listened to Marius seriously.
"I know Mr. Barnett loves this one and only daughter very much. Therefore, no single media dares to contain all the cases about you. Violence, alleged murder, kidnapping, and also."
Nora began to show her panic reaction, even though she hid it behind her smile. Especially when Marius showed him a preview of the news headline from the ipad screen that Marius received from Lucas who had been standing nearby since.
"As you can see, this media is owned by WINZ Group. What do you think will happen tomorrow morning when this news starts to rise? Of course, no medium is stupid enough to remain silent. Even your father won't be able to stop him. Who doesn't love warm rice?"
"So, I suggest you go home, and start seducing your father so that he immediately contact the CTO WINZ Group. Because I heard he's not a change of heart."
Marius showed his winning smile. Nora who saw that became very upset and left Marius rudely. But, before Nora reached the exit, Marius stopped her.
"Wait!"
Marius' orders are followed by David stretching out his arms to stop Nora.
"This is a warning from me to you. Stay away from my home and my family. If I find you touching them even if it's just the end of your nail, then my reply could be even more torturous than this" Marius threatened to commemorate Nora.
The annoyed Nora immediately left Marius. While Marius continued to watch Nora who was getting away.
"Do you think it will work?" asked Lucas.
"At least, for the next few months, he won't have time to think about anything else" said Marius who still showed his cynical smile.
