Beautiful Doctor, Marry Me!
Chapter 22 The worst

Abraham and Daffin were at home. With great difficulty, Abraham dragged Daffin home. There were at least ten bodyguards assigned to bring the man named Daffin.

"Now, what do you want?" Abraham asked his son, who was sitting, folding his hands to his chest as if nothing had happened.

The two sat face to face in Abraham's study and began discussing what steps they would take because dozens of people had contacted them asking for an explanation about the news that had been circulating.

Shareholders feel threatened because this news is feared to affect their business. Abraham understood that so he had to act immediately.

"Daddy hired hackers to delete all the videos that have been circulating" Daffin said.

"Daddy did it without asking!" Abraham answered firmly. After the news of the engagement failed, Abraham attempted to stop the news by deleting all the videos that had already spread.

"Good!" Answer Daffin calmly. "Now, just report that Caraka to the police." Daffin's Order.

Abraham looked at him sharply. "It seems like enjoying your thighs and chest too much makes your brain more bod*h!"

"How can you report the man without proof?"

"I have proof. This is his trap with Sabella, Dad! It must have been recorded at the cctv cafe."

"A few days ago, Chiara and I were at Cafe X. And I don't know why that damn guy came with Sabella, and it ended up happening like the one in that video!"

"Basic rash!" Angry Abraham. His son had completely destroyed all the plans he had neatly laid out.

Just because of Daffin's insanity towards Sabella, everything fell apart. Abraham was confused in facing all these problems.

"So, the tape is real?"

Daffin nodded. "So, what do you think we should do?" Ask Daffin.

"Eitherway! If we report the man to the police station, he's definitely got real footage and it's getting us cornered."

"We're at peace with Ray's family!" Daffin. "We'll just let Chiara go and forget about this engagement."

Abraham agreed. But a reputation that has been damaged must still be restored. He must bring Ray to the media to convince the public that all this is just a misunderstanding and to prove that this will have no effect on their business.

"Dad, this news will disappear by itself. Believe me!"

"But Daddy's gonna see Ray tomorrow morning."

Ray's Residence.

After the passing of magrib time, Ray finally allowed the media crew to enter his yard.

The reporters had been swarming in front of the fence since noon. However, he is still reluctant to meet them because Ray is still waiting for other evidence.

After his men successfully strengthen the evidence with the cctv cafe footage and the proof of authenticity of the video that Caraka gave, Ray finally let the media crew in.

There, Ray and Sania and their lawyers sat in front of reporters who were ready to cover the news.

"Good night all." Sapa Ray's.

"I will explain the news on social media and tv about my daughter's engagement which was suddenly canceled because of one or several things."

"It's true that this engagement I was forced to cancel."

"Video circulating in the virtual world, it's true."

"So, is it true that the man in the video on the screen is Daffin?"

Ray just shut up. "It is not my right to answer all of this. Please ask the concerned party."

"Surely, I'm grateful that there are good people who reveal everything in time."

"Who's the good guy then, sir? Is it really the man Daffin accuses?" Ask a reporter.

"I can't mention it here. Because I have to protect his privacy. For his safety, security and tranquility."

"Then what about your daughter? Whether you are under stress or not."

Ray smiled a little. "Of course not. He's not stressed or sad."

"He just felt guilty about us. And for now, he doesn't want to come along because he's resting."

"Will all this be brought into the path of the law?"

"What if Abraham sues for defamation."

"Yes, we'll face it. I have to obey the law anyway."

"Then, is it likely that this engagement will continue, sir?"

"I don't think so."

"Then what about corporate cooperation? We heard that Abraham's company is bound to cooperate with Danadyaksa hospital?"

Ray laughed softly. "I can be professional."

"My daughter's future is not a business. For our family, from the beginning the purpose of this engagement was not because of business. So, even after this engagement, I don't think there's anything to do with our cooperation."

"Well, I think there's enough here that we can explain."

"Thank you!"

Ray and Sania and their lawyers entered with the help of some guards because the reporters were still asking questions.

Ray just wants to straighten things out, kind of no more confusing news.

Devi hugged Sabella as the two watched the tv about the news.

"Dev, why would Mas Caraka make the video spread?"

"I. I don't even know if it was recorded." Sabella realizes it's her and Daffin.

Sabella looked at Devi with her eyes. Tears returned without being asked.

"Did Caraka set me up with Daffin?"

"Did she know all this time that I was with Daffin having a relationship?"

"And he used that to cancel Daffin's engagement to the girl?"

"Yes..." Sabella tried to regulate her breathing which began to gasp because she felt so hit. "That chiara, the girl that Caraka loves, Dev!"

"Why is everyone bad to me, Dev!" She was in Devi's arms.

"I think Caraka is a good man. But it turns out he used me for his own sake."

"Srsttt! Relax Bel. Caraka had to do this all for you."

"He must keep Daffin busy saving his good name from looking for you!"

"You must understand this, Bel."

"And with that video, the footage of you on Daffin will no longer be useful."

"Daffin will not spread the video because if it is spread, it is certainly the same if he justifies your relationship with him."

Sabella looked at Devi. "So...?"

"So, this is all Caraka's plan?" Ask Sabella.

Devi nodded and smiled slightly. "I've contacted him with a new number and he's already explained everything to me."

"Now, we can simply see the development of this news from tv. If things start to improve, we'll go abroad."

"But, what about my data, Dev."

"You forgot, Bel? Sabella's just a fake name for your career."

"You'll use your original data. I'll try to figure out how we can go abroad."

"What if the police ask for my information about the video?"

"Don't think about anything... Let it be my business and Caraka's later."

Sabella hugged Devi. "Thank you, Dev. You've always been by my side even though I've been down like this."

"You've been considered a brother, Bel. You helped me a lot and now I think it's time to repay all your kindness."
