After Daniel died, Meyrin said goodbye to Ken to immediately go to his room. Today he is too tired. The clock is 04:30 in the morning. Meyrin asks Lea to bring her office documents to the mansion.
Especially today, Meyrin wants to skip work. He wants to relax and enjoy time with his family. He laid his body on the bed without changing his clothes first.
"I'll sleep and don't disturb. Block all William's access to meet me until the top of the company's birthday party" Meyrin said, closing her eyes.
"Good, Miss. I'll be back at 08:00 in the morning." Leah bowed her body, saluted and then walked out of her young lady's room.
****************
A month had passed, Meyrin had just walked out of the meeting room. Today her schedule is super solid, there is not even time at all. All employees are also busy preparing for the peak night of the company's birthday later tonight.
Meyrin repatriated all Alington Group employees early to make preparations. This birthday party was held differently from previous years.
If the birthday party is usually held in a hotel or company, this time is different. The company's 50th anniversary party was held at the Arlington mansion. That's why employees are so excited about this year's party.
Because of the rumors circulating, not just anyone can enter the mansion. In addition, the guard at the Arlington mansion itself was very strict. This led to the perception that Daniel Arlington was a loving father and protected the safety of his children.
"Send invitation!" the orders of a gatekeeper.
That is, strict selection has been done while at the gate. Guests must submit their invitations. Not stopping there, when about to enter the main door of the Arlington mansion, the examination was carried out using a detection device.
"Ken, don't let that damn kid mess up. Make sure everything is safe until all events are over" Daniel said in a low tone to Ken.
"Ready, Uncle." Ken answered him in a low tone as well and there was a bit of sadness.
"Hey, don't put on a face like that! Uncle wants to see everyone happy tonight. Remember our plans for the next week."
Ken did not answer, he ignored Daniel and went to check on the situation. The man has to make sure that tonight everything is safe. He did not want to disappoint his uncle.
William just arrived with Nikolai. Two of their personal assistants, Rama and Armand walk behind their respective employers. It was the first time William entered the Arlington mansion after Laras chose to leave his life.
"Congratulations, Father," William greeted Daniel kindly.
"After the reception is over, can we talk together?" daniel looked at William who looked so handsome with his charm.
"Of course, Dad."
"Alright, enjoy the party. I'll say hello to the other guests" said Daniel who was immediately greeted by other guests.
"Good night dear audience," said one MC to begin tonight's event.
Network after network has passed. Daniel has made his speech, everyone is looking for the leader of the Arlington Group who has not revealed himself.
As Daniel asked, William followed Daniel to the side yard of the mansion. William was a little nervous about facing Daniel. To William, the fatherly aura of his ex-wife was terrifying. He just remembered that Daniel was like Liu Meyrin, the leader of the Arlington mafia.
"Sit down, Will."
William immediately sat in front of Arlington, their current position facing each other. William gulped his saliva with great difficulty. The cold sweat on both his hands began to feel.
"Go to the point. I'm asking you to help after this don't make a mess."
William's forehead immediately wrinkled when he did not understand which direction Daniel was talking. Because William will not make a fuss if all circumstances are fine. William is paranoid, difficult to control his emotions but he can also distinguish which makes it emotional.
"I-I mean Dad?"
"After this party, speak carefully with the woman named Meyrin," Daniel said, sipping his wine.
William doesn't understand what Daniel's talking about. This man in front of him asked not to make a mess, now asking to speak nicely with Meyrin. William was completely confused.
"Dad will hand back Laras to you. Remember that! Make him happy. Whatever happens in the future, make sure no more tears fall after my death." Daniel looked at William and moved out of his chair, leaving William with a million questions.
William looked at Daniel's departure. Suddenly he saw the silhouette of someone was watching him from the second floor. After a month of learning how to think mafia with Nikolai, William's sensibility doubled. Although he still can not do physical attacks and use a gun simultaneously.
After the MCs called Daniel to the stage, a clap accompanied the owner of the Arlington Group. William simply stayed in his place, reluctant to return to the mansion. He wanted to enjoy the cool breeze.
"Thank you for your dedication and trust in the Arlington Group. Without compromising my respect for the investors, tonight I will announce two things." Daniel looked at the audience before continuing his words.
"First, starting tonight and this second, the ownership of Arlington Group will be given to my eldest daughter who has been working hard, playing behind the scenes."
Everyone who heard that started to whisper and second-guess. In Lunar City, Daniel is known to have only one child and that is Emily Arlington, the top model with a million awards.
William who heard that gasped in shock. His premonition was that Daniel would call the name of the wife he had longed for. William immediately got up from his seat and started to enter the mansion. However, the steps stopped when he heard Daniel's next words.
"My daughter just divorced her husband a month ago. I don't know why, but I can guarantee that he is the undoubted leader of his dedication to Arlington. So far, many achievements have been achieved by Arlington thanks to his leadership."
Daniel went silent again, wanting to see the response of his employees, investors and colleagues about his daughter. Silence is created, until a soft voice tells Daniel to show his firstborn daughter. The sound was slow at first until it finally became an echo.
Two women were standing at the end of the stairs. One of them smiled happily as his presence awaited. The woman looked at the woman next to her who nodded her head and clasped her hands.
If the guests can't wait for the presence of the eldest daughter and the leader of the new Arlington Group, a man stares in disbelief at Daniel. Why it all feels right, one month the eldest daughter of a divorced Daniel and at that time William also signed his divorce papers with Laras.
Is Laras still alive?
Will he meet Laras tonight, his beloved wife?
Will Daniel keep his promise to hand Laras over to him again?
"For Daddy's two daughters, you can come down" Daniel said, staring up at the stairs.
The sound of high heels was heard. William's heart was beating very fast. He had long been looking forward to his meeting with his wife. Finally, Laras wanted to show himself in front of William again.
White heels are seen when someone walks down each staircase. The skirt of the dress dangling to the floor was lifted by the woman. Until showing a beautiful woman with natural makeup, hair that is left strung typical of the woman. A sweet smile fell on the woman's face as Daniel greeted her.
All eyes looked in amazement at the figure now standing on stage, next to Daniel Arlington. Some people stared in disbelief at the woman. Then Emily appears, who is greeted by Ken.
"Include my eldest daughter who will be the heir of Arlington Group, Larasati Arlington."
The deg!
The sound of applause rumbled. They did not expect that the eldest daughter of the owner of Arlington Group had been working within the company. In fact, some employees thought that the woman was an affair of a Daniel so that he could become the CEO of Arlington Group.
But who would have thought, the woman who had been known as Liu Meyrin was the original owner of the company Arlington Group. As everyone clapped, one guest did not give an applause.
Barrel or commonly called Meyrin was staring right into both eyes of William. The woman raised the corner of her lips thinly, smiling mockingly at her ex-husband.
"Hello good night, as Father explained, my real name is Larasati Arlington, not Liu Meyrin. I beg you to go ahead and behave as you normally would" said Laras.
Rama was completely shocked and could not believe this. He looked for the figure of his young master, hoping that the man would not do anything crazy. Rama could see that William's eyes could never be separated from the new figure of Laras.
"Mommy!" shouted a boy.
