Erika looks fucked. His hair that is usually neatly arranged, now even looks irregular. His clothes were not as fashionable as usual. In my chair Erika seemed to be trying to eliminate her frustration by drinking.
"Ryuzen you're a jerk! Why don't you agree to my terms? How much more self-esteem do I have to lower in order for you to come back to me?"
Erika again poured the drink into the glass she was holding. When he wanted to drink it suddenly the glass was taken from his grasp.
"Hey give it back!" Erika Exclamations.
"How much more to drink? Is your life worth this intoxicating drink?"
"Sister Yoshiki?" Said Erika who just found out if the person who had snatched the glass was Yoshiki the owner of the place. Yoshiki then approached Erika and invited her to chat.
"Erika stop chasing Ryu, he's not yours and will never be yours again. So give up before you get sick."
Erika laughed amusedly, she seemed to have begun to be affected by alcohol because of the drinks she had been drinking since. "You know brother!" Erika hiccups.
"I was astonished by Ryuzen, what was he looking for from that unlucky woman? Is it because she's that pretty? Or is it because he's so smart, that it makes the cold, ruthless Ryuzen go mad about dying to him."
"Erika, stop...."
With her own eyes Erika turned to look at Yoshiki, "So tell me! Am I getting old? Or because I am no longer beautiful so that Ryu no longer love me anymore and instead choose Sara who is just an ordinary woman? Why brother! Answer me...."
Seeing Erika who seemed to be getting drunk, Yoshiki took her home. "Easy! You're beautiful and attractive, but now you'd better take me home."
Yoshiki grabbed Erika and brought her out of Kairaku.
"Sister, why are you so good to me and Ryu? Who are you on whose side?"
"What are you talking about?" Yoshiki muttered that Erika was still driving to the car to be driven home.
~~
Upon arrival in Yoshiki's red luxury car, he immediately helps Erika get into the car and attach her seat belt.
"Why don't you answer me sister?"
"What answer?" Reply Yoshiki who is already sitting in the steering chair and start the engine of his car.
"Who are you defending, me or the fucking woman?"
Yoshiki sighed and then ran his car.
"Erika," Yoshiki said while driving.
"What's? Never mind, I already know what you're gonna answer. You're gonna defend that woman, aren't you?" Reveal Erika who began to look resigned.
"I'm not defending anyone."
"Why?"
"Because to me, you and Ryuzen are my friends, I consider you to be like my brothers. So there's no reason for me to defend any of you."
"Is that so?" Sahut Erika who is now focused on staring out of the car glass.
"Erika to be honest, I'm sad to see you like this. I can't bear to see you who always fight alone, and try to get what is clearly impossible for you to get back. So stop torturing yourself, seek your own happiness. Forget your past, forget Ryuzen."
Erika just smiled bitterly in response to Yoshiki's words.
If only it were so easy to forget the past. There will probably never be such a thing as a wound from falling in love.

In her room Gina still tried hard to think for a way so that she could get strong evidence, to be made a tool of consideration in the trial later.
"I should be able to find someone who is ready to testify, but who is someone other than Erika who can and will testify at the trial later?" he said while pacing.
"I have to call her," Gina grabbed her phone from the nightstand, touched the screen to contact Ryuzen about the trial which will be held open the day after.
"Hello Mr. Han, how about?" tukas Gina spoke in a telephone conversation.
"Huh! I had guessed from the beginning that the woman would not be willing to be a witness at the trial later! We have to find other witnesses besides Erika, otherwise Sara would have a hard time winning this case."
~~
Because the door to Gina's room, which turned out not to be too closed. Arvin who initially just wanted to go to the bathroom turned out to be accidentally listening to Gina's conversation on the phone.
"What does that mean, it's likely that my mom won't be out of jail?" Arvin looked frightened, his face clearly showing worry and uneasiness. He hastily dismissed that prejudice.
Nah! My mother is innocent, my mother must be out of jail. My papa and Aunt Gina can definitely get my mom out.
Although he tried to dismiss the prejudice, but the fear of the child could not be hidden. Arvin immediately rushed out of his place at that time, for fear of being discovered by his aunt. Arvin does not want Gina to see it as it is now, because he understands if his aunt sees him at this time, it will only add to Gina's problems, for sure, and make it so not too focused on taking care of her mom's case.
I have to help Papi and Aunt Gina. But how?

Early in the morning Kenzo had to be called by his boss to meet him in his study.
"What's the boss?"
"How's your job?" Asked Ryuzen who looked so serious today.
"Everything is handled well according to your orders. Emerald shares are stabilizing and the mixed news about the Han family is also declining. It's just...."
Ryuzen squinted his eyes curiously at what his assistant was trying to say.
"Why?"
"It looks like the news about Miss Sara is likely to heat up again, due to the hearing that will be held tomorrow. Not to mention the talk of netizens who gave rise to many strange speculations about the matter."
"What did they say?" Ryu asked in curiosity.
"From what I have read myself, on average they commented blaming Miss Sara, It was triggered by speculation of those who thought because of the status of Miss Sara who was only from ordinary people, it was triggered by speculation, so the possibility of Miss being a killer is very
in all probability. But, some also defended Miss Sara. You know, sir, I'm just weird to read the theories that netizens make," explained Kenzo intrigued.
"So so...."
"Sir, besides those things what do you really want to ask me?"
Ryu grinned bitterly at Kenzo who could guess what Ryu was calling his assistant for.
"You're starting to guess my brain now, huh Kenzo?"
"Ah not really, I'm just guessing, hihi... I was wrong huh?"
"It's okay, you're right! There's something I want to tell you."
Seems like something serious?
"What do you want to say, my lord?"
"Kenzo, if I fall poor. Are you still willing to work for me?"
"A-what do you mean sir, I don't understand."
Of course Ryuzen's question was a surprise, especially for Kenzo who had worked for Ryuzen for many years.
"Looks.., I did have to hand over Emerald's shares to the old man."
Kenzo looked up at Ryuzen's words just now. He had never thought that Ryuzen could say that.
