CRAZY RICH DADDY (Secret After Lie)
CRD Mother Bladder Oskar

"Welcome back, Miss Agria!"

Welcome speech when Agria set her foot. This large and magnificent family meeting room, he had not set foot on it for a long time. The last time, he was in this place was the night that he bestowed all his guilt on Josephine, his cousin.

Agria stepped forward with great confidence. Step by step brought his memories to that night. He remembered how poor Jose begged to stay. But no one cared for him, not even his own father, Sir Alex, who was sitting quietly in one of the family's high-ranking seats.

"During the meeting, Uncle!" greet Agria with a smile that expands when passing Sir Alex.

"Welcome my niece, Agria!" reply Sir Alex slowly.

Sir Alex looked calm. More precisely trying to maintain his composure. And if I could, he really wanted to slap the face of the demon-hearted woman right now. Sir Alex could not do anything recklessly considering he was in the presence of all the family members. Moreover, the current status of Agria is the prospective successor to the head of the family, a high status that previously owned little Jose his favorite daughter.

Today their family invited the entire noble family in the Northern City to attend a feast held on the return of Agria. Agria, one of the revered princesses in the Northern City. In their eyes Agria was a beautiful, kind, compassionate, loving and relatable figure. Putting the interests of others ahead of their own. Very inversely proportional to their view of poor and wasted Jose.

Tonight is a long night. All partied and were happy for the return of the long-lost Agria. Right, everyone is happy except Sir Alex and his loyal followers. The old man walked in a hurry. Wanted to immediately return to his private castle not long after the party officially began. But his feet turned in the direction in the middle of the road.

Sir Alex walked to the highest tower with Adam as he always did. Under the light of the moon tonight, he could see an arena located below. An arena that was always used by the sons and daughters of nobles to practice archery or shooting. The place where Jose got all the love and praise for always being the winner.

"Are you here to remember little Jose?" asked an elder who had been out of nowhere to stand behind him.

Sir Alex turned to the source of the voice. A few meters in front of him stood two elders who were close relatives. One of them is Sir Alex's brother-in-law and one of them is his brother-in-law's best friend. Those two people were currently two among the ten elders who were highly respected.

Sir Alex lowered his upper body as a sign of respect, "As you can see" replied Sir Alex.

"Alex, do you dare to oppose them and restore your daughter's status?" ask his brother-in-law.

Sir Alex is silent. He did not know what the purpose of these two people was. They want to declare war. There was no good relationship between them before. These two even the ones who repeatedly mercilessly ordered the bodyguards to beat or confine Jose as punishment.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing" Sir Alex replied later.

"Alex, don't you know what our position is. We can help you if you want. But of course there are conditions that you must meet," said the man with a sly smile.

The man stopped talking, then approached Sir Alex who was unmoved from his place.

"I will help restore Jose's status as long as you agree to marry him to my best friend's son. What say?" ask Sir Alex's brother-in-law slylyly.

"If that's all you want, you'd better go" Sir Alex exasperated.

Married Jose to the boy. Never hope even in a dream. Sir Alex knew very well how the man was, he just hung around spending his time fiddling with gambling and visiting brothels. Rather than handing Jose into the hands of such a man, even though his status was restored. So Sir Alex resolutely rejected it without the need to think twice. Moreover, there is already Louise Matthew who blatantly likes and keeps her daughter out there.

"What matters do you want to talk about?" ask the main elder to Agria after the event is over.

"It's about Jose, my cousin that night," Agria replied.

"For years, why have you been discussing this matter again?" ask one of the elders.

"Splisters, let Agria say something. Actually Jose was not pregnant at that time" said Agria frankly.

"What do you mean?" ask elders.

"That night, when proof of pregnancy was found. It's not Jose's, it's mine" Agria replied without feeling the slightest guilt.

The elders looked at each other, some of them stood up and kicked the table in anger, "Agria, do you know you've made a big mistake. Not only do you make mistakes, but give your mistakes to others. Then calmly say it now without the slightest burden, where did you get that much courage?" ask the oldest.

"What do you mean just say it now. Do you feel guilty and want to return the status of a future successor to him after all this time?" describe the other elder.

"Agria, this crime of yours is unforgivable!"

Agria seemed calm despite getting hate speech from most of the elders. Not daunted though their gazes were like lions that would devour their prey.

"Sister, if the elder knows who the father of my son is. I assure you the elder will not dare to say the words as the elder has said," Agria explained confidently.

"What is his father. Which man slept with you and did that damned thing to this honorable noble family?" furious elders.

"He is the richest man who has recently become very famous, Louise Matthew. CEO of Mattews Group," replied Agria confidently.

"What?" ask the cynical elder.

The elder doubted Agria's claims, if the two of them had such a close relationship, why didn't Louise ask Agria for help when she needed support to grow her business back then?

"Sister, I'm not here just to tell you this. But also asking the elders for blessing to help me get my son back" pinta Agria.

"Kids?"

"Yes, son. The boy who was raised by Jose at this time. That kid is my son from Louise!"

"Agria, you!"

"Older, than to be angry only for the mistakes I made in the past. Shouldn't forget it. Imagine what advantage we would get if elders helped me become Louise's legal wife. With that kid in place, if we make a confession and let the media cover it in a big way, can Louise resist?"

The elders were compact without a sound. No longer angry with Agria as before. Because right now, they were both thinking about the huge profits that Agria said just now.

If Agria could become Lady Louise it would be very beneficial for their noble family. Not only became the richest noble family but was also feared by the entire world. Moreover, there were already children born among them, it would further solidify their foundation. Sacrificing the injustice they had done to Jose to get something outside could be like this, of course it was worth it.

"Then, what's your plan?" ask elders.

Very quietly, Agria whispered all her plans to the elders and seemed to have full support from them.
