“The company has been criminally sued under fraud. In addition, they are also subject to embezzlement articles and TPPU laws due to the amount of budget for construction services and unnatural consultants,” explained Indira while checking several sheets of paper. “And as we know, they are also involved the same case, even more in their other projects.”
Abi folded his hands while nodding while listening to Indira's remarks. “We still file a civil lawsuit, right?”
“Of course.”
Indira was astonished to hear that question from Abi. The client looks nervous.
“Article 61 paragraph (1) of PT Law states that every Shareholder has the right to file a lawsuit against PT to the District Court if it is harmed due to PT actions that are considered unfair and without reasonable reason as a result decision of GMS, directors, and/or board of commissioners. This right is given to every shareholder, both majority and minority,” Indira said.
“Can the land return? Can their cooperation agreement be canceled?”
“According to KUHPerdata article 1328, fraud is a reason to cancel an agreement, if the fraud used by one of the parties is such, so it is evident that the other party will not enter into that covenant without deception. Fraud cannot only be calculated, but it must be proven. For proof of fraud cases, there seems to be no problem. Because the fraud lawsuit has entered the criminal court, then we only need to wait for the verdict first, then we contest it civilly. We only prove that the fraud affected their cooperation agreement.” Indira looked at Abi who was still thinking suspiciously. “Didn't you say you didn't master civil law? Do you want to help?”
“No, just want to know,” replied Abi. “Do if we file a lawsuit with that company, we can see the full financial statements? If the case is in another project, is it possible for us to be able to see it?”
Indira raised her eyebrows. He began to read the man's mind. “Do not be excited about this case just to be able to see the financial statements. Tell me, what do you want to see from that report?”
Abi was silent. He realized that he was too excited to act suspicious. To cover it up, he pretended to see the documents brought by Indira. “Alright, we'll discuss our next trial. Only two more days.”
“You are indeed a snake,” grumbled Indira because Abi changed the topic because it was cornered. “Rama has shown photos of her guest book. It's not strong enough to serve as evidence, but it could be a way to check his alibi. Rama and I will ask Mischa's neighbors if they saw the man at the time of the incident. It would be great if we could get strong evidence goods.”
“Ya, for example, his fake hair when disguised as Mischa,” added Abi. “If we can find it, what will you plan?”
Hearing that question, Indira smiled. There was a plan in his head that he thought was pretty cool.
“First, I'll prove that I didn't kill. Then, when the judge asks, who is the main culprit, I will stand up and point to the man. You said he always comes at our every trial, right?”
“Isn't that too much? Like the scene in the movie,” taunted Abi.
“I don't care. For sure, it looks really cool.”
They laughed because of the light jokes made by Indira. Then, Abi's face returned seriously. Something suddenly flashed through his mind.
“How about Roy's replacement? Has the prosecutor determined his successor?”
Indira knew, behind the question, Abi actually just wanted to talk about Roy. In contrast to Regina, Indira understands the man's feelings after losing her great enemy. Full of regrets. Not because it failed to take revenge, Indira saw regret in Abi's eyes for failing ‘punishing’ Roy with the weapon he promised, namely the law. Had he not failed, maybe Roy would not have had to end his life that stragically. Unlike Reynolds who deserved to die, there is little hope Abi can repent for his past mistakes. Moreover, he is the fiance of his best friend.
“There is. A prosecutor who just moved out of the area. He is not very good as a prosecutor, but is famous for anti-bribery. He won't trouble us like the previous prosecutor.”
“You think of something?” tanya Indira, who restores Abi's consciousness.
“No, I just thought of something unimportant.”
Indira knew that Abi could no longer concentrate on discussing their trial plans. He must still be thinking about the death of his old enemy, but embarrassed to begin his discussion. Finally, Indira gave up and helped her client to open the discussion.
“I heard Regina ask for an autopsy for Roy's body. He suspected that his ex-fiancee had been killed, not killed herself. The family refused, but eventually they agreed. Maybe the results of his autopsy will come out today,” said Indira who made Abi's eyes sparkle again. “I heard it from my acquaintance who works in the same police station with him.”
“Good. That means -”
Abi's sentence was interrupted suddenly, making Indira astonished. He shrugged his shoulders as if he wanted to ask the continuation of Abi's words. However, Abi was silent.
“It must be true my guess so far if you keep something secret,” said Indira. “Remember our initial agreement, must trust each other and there is no secret between us.”
Abi still remembered the promise, but he could not say what was on his mind at the moment, which was about Mr. Jireh.
Abi's original plan when forcing Indira to take on the New World case was to wreak havoc and see who would react. Thus, he could detect those who might be lord Jireh. However, what happened was not in accordance with his plan. Only Louis Jithro Kurniawan's family was overwhelmed and the highlight was Roy's death. That is also the reason Abi is targeting the complete financial statements of PT. Laras Jaya Karya, which is to see the flow of funds.
But Roy's death raises suspicions for Abi. Despite being raised as a spoiled child, he was not the one who would end his life due to problems. There must have been some interference from someone. Either he was killed or forced to commit suicide.
And that variable raises some new speculations. Why would Jerold have to die? If Mr. Jireh wants to eliminate his traces in PT. Laras Jaya Karya, shouldn't the dead be Roy's father or two siblings?
Abi is convinced, Mr. Jireh is plotting something dangerous against him and sees how frightened bosses Dirga, Roy and Jack Off the Record are as he calls out the name, and the, it would have been better if he had not told Indira about Mr. Jireh.

In the darkness, Abi's eyes took his phone screen seriously. He's looking for news of Roy's autopsy, but nothing. It seems that the autopsy was done secretly without being known by the media.
Suddenly his phone screen changed, showing a number he did not know. With hesitation, he pressed the phone button to pick up the call.
[Hello, Abi. We can finally talk. I never thought you could have a cell phone in jail.]
Abi surprised. It was the voice of an old man he had never heard. Who her? How does the man know his cell phone number?
“Do I know you?” asked Abi who responded with a loud laugh.
[I heard you already know me. I am Mr. Jireh.]
