part 137 Meet Adelia Betharista

It's a good idea to let Abhimanyu approach women. He did excel in martial techniques and was good at using firearms. But for that one, Abi is a loser. Womens. Let alone to be the lover of an Abhimanyu, being his only friend was a difficult thing. Abi who is rigid and closed to the opposite sex was once considered a same-sex lover. I don't know why he's so hard to get close to women. The first woman to get close to him, yes Nayla. Mother herself. Inheriting the nature and character of Arya, Nayla is able to understand how to approach her son. He understood what he should do, and what he should not do to Abhimanyu. Despite their mother and daughter status, Nayla still has a strategy to be close to Abi. Because not all children will be close to their mother, right? Even many young people who feel parents and mothers are especially chatty, careless, and like to organize. But Nayla managed to make Abhimanyu bend the knee over all his words.

The second woman who could be close to Abhimanyu was Ellea. Although they have not known each other for so long, Ellea's charm is able to break Abhimanyu's heart, even the first time they meet. Abi had never been that close to another woman before Ellea. When he was in school, he never once got close and talked to women intensely. That is why he is famous as a same-sex enthusiast among his friends. Especially because he was often with Heru and Zikal.

Therefore, sending Abhimanyu to approach Adelia Betharista, was the worst idea they had.

Vin has not fully recovered from the pain he got. His back still often hurts because of the gunshot wound he did not get once. There are several holes in his back that have now been covered with stitches. But if only to do light work such as approaching Adelia, then it is not a difficult matter. She is one of the lucky women in the world. Born as the son of a conglomerate, making his charms have been around for a long time. His life is enough, even very excessive. Whatever he wants can be easily obtained. And this is what made him get married to Mathias Fernanda. A young entrepreneur just starting his career. He also comes from the descendants of the children of the rich, but his parents' company suddenly went bankrupt because of business competition. He would not want to marry Adelia because of the matchmaking that often occurs in the business class. Based on the principles of friendship and business partners, and of course to stabilize their respective companies of course.

The Adelia family certainly did not need Mathias very much, because to get a rich child with abundant treasures was very easy for them. In this case, Adelia whines to be betrothed to Mathias. He has been in love with Mathias since they met at one of the national charities. Mathias as one of the investors when he was still successful, was able to attract the attention of Adelia who in fact really likes sensitive things. For him, people who have great dedication to the poor are very heart-wrenching. He thought that Mathias was a good person and a noble heart. In fact, Mathias did do it deliberately, because since the beginning has been eyeing Adelia.

Mathias's company nearly goes out of business, forcing her to accept the idea from her parents to approach Adelia. He did everything in his power to attract Adelia's sympathy.well, a good start. And finally Adelia is caught in a vortex of love and married to Mathias. Their married life went well. Mathias' company finally manages to rise to the surface after marrying Adelia. All happy. Until one day, Adelia noticed a lipstick mark on Mathias' shirt. Adelia is not the type of woman who blazes in her emotions. He kept trying to calm when his heart was filled with emotion. Wanting to feel at that moment she asked, whose lipstick was attached to her husband's shirt. But he knew that Mathias would swipe and find any alibis to make Adelia suspect him. Not once was there a lipstick mark that he found on Mathias' body. Now almost every night, when Mathias came home from work, he always saw a red stain on his body, or his clothes.

Eventually Adelia secretly tailed Mathias, hiring people to spy on her own husband. Everything Mathias does does is not spared from Adelia's supervision. And finally the secret was revealed. Mathias is caught alone with a woman at the hotel. Adelia hit them both. Of course Mathias quibbled and even made a statement that he was framed. He continued to beg for mercy and promised not to repeat it again. And Adelia always believed all of Mathias' words.

After that incident, Mathias got smarter playing the show. But the woman's heart was very sensitive. Adelia gradually felt that there was something Mathias was hiding from her. Adelia acted plain and did not know what. Trying to be reasonable like a wife who loves her husband very much. But behind it all, Adelia always acts behind Mathias. Get rid of all the women found sleeping with her husband. Makes them regret for robbing her husband, even if it was just for fun.

But when Mathias is in a relationship with Joana, Adelia cannot touch the woman. Many times he always fails. And he could only harbor feelings of disappointment and anger in his heart. He could not divorce Mathias, not only because of his great feelings for the man, but also because half of his wealth had been given to Mathias. Several assets, such as the house, company, hotel, and all of Adelia's wealth have been reversed in the name of Mathias. They have signed a marriage agreement. And Adelia only realized her stupidity. Joanna was a cruel and cunning woman. He is smart and not so easy to beat.

Through the orphan charity union, Adelia begins to shift her heartache. He began busy with various fundraising and socialization events for orphans in various cities, even countries around the world. Funny thing is, Joanna did the same. He is also a member of social charities throughout Asia. Not without reason Joanna did this. He did not intend to rival Adelia, he had another purpose to become one of the members of the charity. One of them is to keep his image that is already bad in the eyes of the community, through the charity, he can also manipulate the funds that have been collected, he said, some of that social money will go into his personal account. He's greedy. Even the money from Mathias was unable to make enough. Joanna wanted to rule over Mathias' entire fortune.

A five-star hotel now looks crowded from the side of the road, where Vin monitors from inside his car. He tried to check the conditions in that place. Monitor who is coming, and how to get in. Because the purpose of this event was held was to collect charities and donations from rich people, which he would later give to charity unions in various regions. To support orphans in order to have a much more decent life. Adelia opened an auction of her collection of antiques and several donors. His social soul is high. He really likes kids. But until now he has not been blessed with a child.

Vin's strings ringing.

"Yes, Om?"

"Vin, the only way to get along with Adelia, is to become one of the buyers of the auction. So you have to take the offer until the end" said the Eagle.

"But, Om. Vin doesn't have that much money" he murmured as he scratched his head.

"The problem is calm. Put my money on first."

"Well, ready, boss!" After getting the green light and how to solve the problem, Vin finally drove a car and entered the hotel parking lot.

The atmosphere in the hotel ballrom is very boisterous, but still well coordinated. Vin put himself in the front seat. Her net is wildly searching for the whereabouts of Adelia. He had already received information on how the target's face was. Until the moment the event was about to begin, the face he was looking for began to appear. Beautiful and elegant. True said the Eagle, Adelia has high charisma and is able to anesthetize the eyes of men to continue to look at her. If only he could not remember Allea, Vin would have really approached her." Male****, could be a perfect female like that. Jesus Allea, I'm sorry I'm so happy for a moment" Vin muttered to himself,

The event began, Many auction items that did have high architecture. History and the manufacturing process that has historical value, making the goods sold at a fairly fantastic price. Vin's charm soon gets the attention of Adelia. Several times he won the auction and has brought 3 auction items with a total price that is quite draining pouch of course. But not the bag, but the Eagle pocket, which has a lot of money. "Sorry, Um. But you said I should get Adelia's attention, right? Well this is how it is."

After the event, buyers of auction items will gather to complete administrative costs and the packaging of the auction items themselves. At a time like this, Vin began to approach Adelia. They began to engage in stale chatter about the event, until without feeling Vin began to enter Adelia's private realm. This makes Adelia uncomfortable, because she feels she is being interrogated.

"Who are you really?!" adelia asked with a sharp look. He is actually smart, and people who do not like being lied to. Vin's attitude made him feel that the man in front of him had other intentions towards him. Not just want to do charity by buying auction items his.

"Eum, look .. let me explain first. Please don't get me wrong" Vin said cautiously. All of Vin's conversations were heard by all of them. Abhimanyu, Gio, Zikal, Iqbal and Eagle.

"Bad brash Vin, he had a chance to spend my money apparently!" grunts Eagles. Gio laughed with satisfaction. And to grieve the stupidity of the Eagle. "One of you yourself, you should love rations, how much money he can abisin, the generous Eagle" he said in a satirical tone.

"That's it, right, I should have just been there," Abhimanyu said casually.

"No!" exclaiming Eagle and Gio in unison.

"Why the hell?!" Abhimanyu began not to accept being considered a loser in this regard.

"Mending money I abis the same Vin for ginian. Instead of telling you to go there, it will not be the discussion later," said Elang, sure.

Zikal patted Abhimanyu on the shoulder, "They're real, Bi. You will not be in a discussion with girls. It's fine here" he said with a lip bite holding back laughter. Abhimanyu glanced at him cynically.

He then looked at the Eagle who was behind the scenes, they were still connected because they wanted to know how the continuation of Vin's movement to approach Adelia.

"Eum, uncle, can Abi nanya something?" tanyanya doubt. The eagle raised his eyebrows and nodded. "What?"

"Says Zikal, uncle who told you where I was kidnapped yesterday?"

"Yes, why?"

"Couldn't you? Uncle knows where? asked Abi curiously.

"Oh, that's me putting the GPS on your body!"

Suddenly everyone glared sharply, staring at the Eagle and Abi in turn. A similar question popped into their minds. "Where does the GPS that Eagle mean, and when does he put it in?"

"Huh?! Mean, uncle?"

"The silver necklace I gave you first, Bi?"

Abhimanyu held the object in question, while thinking for a moment. Remembering the moment where the Eagle gave it to her. "So ... This necklace?"

"Yes, I put a GPS in there, and only I can access it. So if you go anywhere, I can tell!"

"Wow, cool!" praise Vin there, muttering softly.

"I'm sorry?" Adelia heard his mutterings. He frowned and looked in wonder at Vin.

"Already, you work, just work. Don't go with him!" kelakar Gio's.

"Eum, it's okay. So look, there's something important I want to talk to you about, Ms. Adelia," Vin said. The sentence also made the Eagle and the others silent. Look at what Vin will say. "But we can, we can talk somewhere else. Because this is a personal."

Adelia pulled one corner of her lips, "Oh sorry I'm busy." Vin can guess that Adelia must have thought a no-no to Vin's true intentions.

They are now on the roof of the hotel, the top floor is deliberately empty, there are only a few water tanks and a place to place an electric generator. A place that others will rarely pass.

"So how do you know Joanna?" adelia asked without a tent.

"There's one secret from Joanna that I'm sure you don't know yet. A secret that will definitely make you look in disbelief" Vin said in a calm manner.

"What secret? Is she a woman who sells herself for money? A woman who is greedy and will do anything to meet her goals? Even if it had to ruin someone's marriage?" Adelia was provoked by her emotions. It seems obvious that she really hates Joanna. This makes Vin sure of the information he has. He was sure that the woman in front of him would definitely help them a lot.

"Have you ever heard of the Ransford cartel?"

"Ransford's Cartel?" adelia asked while remembering that name.

"Well, a society of rich people with psychopathic brains. They kidnap the weak, the homeless, and the people they don't like to hunt."

"...."

"They exist from one generation to the next. Downgrading customs and customs that have existed for generations since the previous founder."

"Don't tell me Joanna was one of those cartels?"

"Yes, that's right, Madam. Joanna was a member of the cartel. And you know, too, right, that she has a charity too just like you do?" asked Vin and Adelia just nodded slowly. "Some people who are under the auspices of his charity, disappeared mysteriously. And I'm sure you can guess. "

"They're the target of the cartel's hunt?" tanyanya confirmed her conjecture. Vin nodded steadily. "Cannot be. You have no proof of that word of yours. I hate him, but I don't like it when people tell me shit about him."

"alright. But you better come with me, because I have important evidence where my words can be held later."

"Where?"

"You don't need to be afraid, because I have no ill intentions towards you. Because we need each other, and we better work together to get rid of Joanna."

"All right."

Adelia finally succeeded in bringing Vin to the village of Ambon. Their temporary headquarters. He felt anxious when he entered this area. It was a shabby place, and many men were looking at it with horrible gazes. "Don't be afraid. They won't hurt you, Mrs Adelia."

"Call Adel!"

"okay."

They arrived at the basement which was used as an eye for all of them. From that place, they could see the world just from where they were sitting. The door opened, Vin appeared with a big smile, he managed to finish his work by bringing Adelia here. Adelia was feeling eulogized and still afraid, she did not want to go inside because it was filled only by the men who now kept staring at her intensely.

"Don't worry, Del. They're my pals. Here, let me show you the evidence on Joanna. You want to see, right?" vin asked Adel a hand, and brought him closer to the computer that already displayed videos and photos of the Ransford Cartel. Joanna's voice was familiar to Adel's ears. He then approached to really see clearly what Joanna had done in the video.

Minute by minute, Adel was completely washed away in the crazy video in front of him. Everything Vin said was completely evident. He even saw with his own eyes how Joanna did such a heinous thing. Joanna did a lot of crazy things not only kidnapping foster children and the elderly who are under the auspices of her charity, but also some people who Adel knew also fell into the trap. They were brutally killed by them, those people were actually hunting them like game animals. So mean. Inhuman.

"So what can I help you with?" ask Adelia.

Vin, Abhimanyu and Gio smiled. "Look, we have to frame Joanna. Kidnap her. So you have to be able to lure him in, and the rest we'll carry on" Vin said. Adelia smiled and nodded.

Joanna also held a charity in one of the shopping centers in the city center. He began to behave like an angel to attract the sympathy of people. He invites people who are unable to get compensation from him. He also took the street children to live in his dormitory. And his generous attitude made many upper classes sympathetic and gave a considerable donation.

Today, Joanna will realize a new orphanage that she soon opens. Of course in this way, he also asked for the help of investors to become donors in his orphanage. Joanna is very good at talking, good at manipulating other people's minds to follow her wishes. Especially with her beautiful face and beautiful body. No man would refuse anything he wanted.

Adelia walks into the place and immediately catches Joanna's attention. This was her first time, Adelia actually met Joanna in person. Joanna, who saw Mathias's legal wife coming, approached and greeted the woman. He did not expect that Adelia would be this brave to meet him in person.

"It is an honor for me to have you at this event" said Joanna, extending her welcoming hand to Adelia. Adel certainly returned his welcome, but when their hands shook each other, Adelia clutched tightly. Makes Joanna grimace in pain. Well, the fierce competition between them had indeed started a long time ago, Adel already knew that her husband was having an affair with the woman in front of him. Joanna also knew that Adel often told people to get rid of her, but never succeeded of course.

"Well, the fundraiser for the new orphanage apparently? Eum, you're very good at theatrics, aren't you? You sly fox!" adel whispered in Joanna's ear. "I'm sure you're looking for my husband, right? He hasn't called you in days, has he?"

Joanna did not speak of Adel, only looked at him cynically.

"As far as you know, I've rendered him powerless. And I'll be throwing it out of my life soon. So you take the man right away! Before I chopped up his body and gave it to my dog!" Adel gave a business card, the address of which Mathias said he was torturing. Adel knew that Joanna would not let Mathias die. Because if she had to die, then Mathias would have to die while being her husband, so that all the insurance money would fall into her hands. Adel immediately left the place. Joanna stared at the business card whose address was no stranger to her. It was the Villa where he had once spent several nights with Mathias.

Within 20 minutes of Adelia exiting the building, Joanna was seen rushing out to her car.

"The hunt goes into his trap" muttered Adel who was hiding in Vin's car with Abhimanyu. He was very sure that Joanna would fall into his trap, because his greedy nature would not let Mathias just die. While Mathias is being trapped, Adel puts a sedative in Mathias' drink, and he will be confirmed unconscious in the next few days. Mathias has been unable to contact Joanna in recent days. There was no love in Joanna's heart for Mathias. There is only money and money.

Now Joanna's luxury car has entered the villa's courtyard. He immediately went inside and looked for Mathias throughout the room. Vin has also reached that place and now the door is locked. They managed to trap the woman into their trap.

"Math!" call Joanna down room by room.

"Hey! How bad are you in my villa?! You bar lady!" adelia said, which surprised Joanna.

"You?! Why are you here? Where's Mathias?"

"Just calm down, Mathias is safe. Soon she'll be a bum and I kick her out of my house. You should be the one worrying about yourself. Where are you now a savage woman?!"

Joanna looked up and started to fury. Especially when he saw Abhimanyu and Vin emerge from various exits. He realized he was being framed. "What do you want?" joanna asked a little screamed, panicked.

Adelia approached slowly, "You, cunning and evil woman, you should have rotted in hell!" he said as he smashed Joanna in the head with a vase of flowers nearby. Joanna groaned from the terrible pain in her head. His head throbbed violently, and his gaze slowly blurred. "Just kill you!" Before she closed her eyes completely, Adelia was in front of her with another vase of flowers, and again hit Joanna's head with it. Well, he was the weakest member among the others. What a pity for your fate, Joanna.
