"Uncle, Mama's condition is still like this. I can leave Mama alone." Kelvin gave up, just to cover up his weakness in taking care of all that.
However, the defense gets a laugh response from Riu. Even so, Annisa and Jason remained silent and did not reprimand. Riu's role this time was much needed by them.
Leisurely, Riu picked up a cigarette and lit it. Then, suck strongly, as if enjoying nicotine slowly entering the throat.
"You said your mom was alone? Isn't he here now? There's Papa, there's a lot of servants. If you are the intention, there will be no reason for Annisa's sister here" Riu said, leaning back and crossing one leg over the other.
"It's okay, but I can't bear to leave Mama. Wait for Mama to recover, I can definitely reclaim the house. No need for Uncle to intervene," said Kelvin arrogantly. He didn't want to admit his weakness in front of Vale.
"Good then," Riu said lightly. However, it instantly changed Annisa's expression.
The woman who had been looking down since then, now looked up while shaking her head quickly.
"No, Riu, you have to step in." Annisa turned to look at Kelvin, "Down your ego, Vin. You can't fight Juliet and your father" he said.
"Don't underestimate me too much, Ma. I can definitely. Wait for Mama to heal, I will prove my point, " Kelvin replied without thinking. Somehow later if Riu really does not want to help. Perhaps, he could only let the house be taken over by his father's affair.
Hearing her son's reply, Annisa took a deep breath. That was the result of his upbringing all along. Since childhood taught haughty and momorsikan treasure, now after adulthood is also unreliable. Let alone with Riu, compared to Sander alone, Kelvin lost far.
"Know that I was beaten up you can't defend, Vin, let alone seize a house that's already on his behalf. What did you do it with?" annisa. His voice was slow, like one who was desperate.
Kelvin said, "It's not that I can't defend, Ma, I'm just surprised by Juliet and Angela's relationship."
"Then after that, did you do something? No, right?" Annisa took a deep breath. "You just took her to the hospital, and then brought Mama here. You have no plans, other than to persuade your grandfather to help" he continued.
Kelvin snorted coarsely, having no more sentences to answer. The annoyed face also invited a slanted smile on Riu's lips.
While Vale, his forehead frowned slightly. She knew who Angela— was the beautiful woman who was at the hotel with Kelvin that night. One thing that makes Vale wonder, what is his relationship with Theo's affair?
"I married his uncle. And she .. is dating someone who has something to do with her father's affair. Is the world that small?" inner Vale.
"Riu, let's just say I'm begging. Please, take that house back. Suppose you don't want to give any more to me, whatever. Anbil is for you. Importantly, it does not belong to Mas Theo anymore" Annisa said after a long time no sound was heard.
"I can't promise. My own business is still a lot. Apart from work, I was planning a big party to celebrate my wedding with Vale. I delayed it long enough, and it was also because of your surrender. So, I don't want to delay anymore. Moreover, the reason is still around you, sister," Riu replied.
Annisa fell silent, while Kelvin snorted for the umpteenth time. He still wasn't willing to see Vale belong to his uncle. Especially after the guise of Angela is open, the more real the love she feels.
"It's night, Pa. Vale and I have permission to leave," Riu said, not giving his father a chance to continue his sentence.
Riu knew what Jason was going to say, it must have been an inducement to help Annisa.
Without caring anymore about Annisa and Jason's call, Riu got up and took Vale. He took his woman away from there.
Regretfully, Annisa looked at Vale's and Riu's back who were getting further away. He repeatedly condemned the mistakes of the past, which he had hurt his own brother, for a man who was never sincere in love. Now, I don't know who he'll be looking for help if Riu refuses. Because Camelia too, her position is not good either.

Arriving at home, Riu did not enter the room, but just hugged Vale and kissed his forehead with affection.
"Darling, you go to sleep first! I still have a job, maybe late" he said after breaking a hug.
"Work?" asked Vale, who was then responded with a nod by Riu.
"What ... something that has to do with Annisa's sister?" Vale asked again.
Riu nodded while exhaling a long breath.
"Then I'll accompany you. If you fall asleep, at least in front of you." Vale smiled spoiled, then tightly embraced Riu's waist, so that the man could not resist his wishes.
A moment after that, Riu and Vale together headed for the study. The two sat facing. Riu instantly focused on his computer screen, while Vale focused on Riu's face that looked more handsome in serious fashion.
"You don't ask, why would I want to help Annisa?" riu asked on the sidelines of his work.
Vale smiled, "If you can guess, you're not purely helpful. You just don't want Brox's family assets taken by your ex-in-law. But behind that, you must have other plans."
Riu stared fixedly at Vale, and slowly a smile poked on her lips.
"You understand me the most" he said.
Then, Riu's gaze was again shifted on the screen before him. It wasn't Theo that was the target this time, it was Juliet. A real person had long been in his monitoring.
