"It's unbelievable. So the kid millionaire I've been talking about a lot is Sheila, your wife?" Willy asked again to be sure.
"Yes. I was also surprised the first time I saw him. I think I misidentified people. But looking into her eyes, I'm sure it's Sheila."
"I really can't believe this. Your wife became our boss. It's incredible," Willy chuckled in wonder.
"Yes, this is too complicated."
"It was unexpected. She disappeared for so long and came back as a big miss."
"And that's why, for four years, I searched Sheila and didn't find her. Because he's in Germany. Now I also understand, why Shan asked me to marry her secretly, and waited until she was 21. Here's why. Because he's the heir to the Darmawan Group."
"In the sense that Shanum knew that Sheila was the son of Lord Surya, did she?" willy asked followed by a nod by Marchel.
"Shanum told me, Sheila's not her real sister. But he asked me to keep it a secret from Sheila. And I only realized last night, when I married Sheila, I mentioned the name of her real father, Surya Dirgantara Darmawan. I never thought about that name."
Willy could only shake his head at the words of his friend.
"Is it possible that Shanum knew Mr. Arman? And they're working together to protect Sheila?" ask Willy.
"I really don't know. But Shan never said anything to me, other than the fact that Sheila was not her real sister. I think that's why he treated Sheila like a princess. He spoils her so much." Marchel looked to the past where he was still Shanum's lover.
" Why so many mysteries? I think Shanum must have something to do with Mr. Arman" Willy said.
Suddenly Marchel remembered something. "Will, you once said Mr. Surya died in an accident, right? Maybe he was killed on purpose."
"I think so too. And the only one who has the possibility of doing so is Mr. Herdian."
Marchel's face suddenly turned serious. "That means Sheila's still in danger."
"You just calm down. Mr. Arman and his son can definitely protect him." Willy tried to quell Marchel's worries. "Now, what's your plan? Are you gonna fight Sheila?" ask Willy.
"Eitherway. Sheila is no longer the Sheila she once was. He's changed a lot. I don't know if I should be happy or sad."
Willy patted his best friend's shoulder. "Patience... It's only natural that Sheila is mad at you. You just left him for seven months. And when you came back, you doubted your own son, so he had to do a DNA test. Any woman would be angry to be in such a position."
"Yes, I'm aware of my mistake." Marchel leaned her back on the chair. Sheila's shadows sprung up in her mind. How different Sheila is from Qiandra.

In a room, Sheila was enjoying her time of revenge. To her Audry was truly a sycophant, willing to do anything for the sake of face-seeking drama. Sheila kept telling Audry to do this and it was like a slave obedient to her master. She even asked Audry to tidy up her makeup and hair.
"You're so pretty... Why are you alone? I'm sure there will be a lot of men waiting in line for you" Audry said, combing Sheila's hair.
"You're not married yet, when you're not young anymore" he said.
"I'm waiting for someone. I'll just marry him."
Sheila's hands clenched at the words of the woman standing behind her. Of course the person in question is Doctor Marchel.
The woman is shameless. You were blatantly in front of me trying to snatch it. Okay, let's see when you'll survive. I'll make you feel what I've ever felt.
"Who are you waiting for? Is one of the doctors working at this hospital?" Sheila's words made Audry smile widely.
"Yes. He's one of the doctors at this hospital. His name is Doctor Marchel."
"Doctor Marchel?" Sheila still pretended not to understand.
"Yes. He's already married. But I got rid of his wife. And I'm sure he'll bend his knees in front of me. Of course, for that I need your help" Audry said confidently.
"You're so mean. What have you done to get rid of his wife?" Sheila glanced at Audry through a mirror in front of her.
"I instigated his mother. I'll just say something bad about that geeky kid. He's not very worthy of Doctor Marchel after all. He's very clumsy."
"really?"
"All right, that's enough! I'm going to visit the orphanage first. Please take my shoes to the car, yeah... My feet hurt wearing those shoes. I'd like to wear flat shoes."
"All right..." Without any objection, Audry walked out of the room with Sheila's shoes.
Sheila still managed to catch her breath. Her body felt burning hearing Audry's disdainful remarks in the past.
I will never forgive him. I can forgive him for his insults. But my son, I lost my son because of him.
Sheila wiped away a speck of tears, remembering the innocent little baby that had to be victimized by the obsession of a heartless woman like Audry.

That afternoon, Sheila visited an orphanage owned by her family, after previously stopping by the toy store and bought the entire contents of the toy store, making all employees there cluck in wonder. In fact they had to use two big box cars to send the toys to the orphanage.
"Miss Qiandra, thank you for visiting this orphanage. The children were very happy to get the toy" said a woman in her 40s who became the caretaker of the orphanage.
"I'm glad to do it, Mom! I really like kids. Let me know if mom or kids need anything."
"Thank you, Miss. You're very kind" said the woman.
"Don't call that, Mom. Just call me Sheila. I'd rather be called by name."
"I'm not feeling well, miss. Em. I mean, Sheila." That woman looks so awkward. However, his face was so sparkling with happiness.
"I want to go for a walk while watching the kids play. You can continue your work." Sheila smiled kindly.
"alright. I have to go inside. There was a child who was sick. I haven't given him any medicine..."
"All right..."
Sheila was still walking in a park while watching the children play with the toys she was carrying. The children's joy erased his sadness for a while. Until something caught Sheila's attention. In the corner, a child was crying because of the screams of his friends.
"Campage! The dam! The village!" cheers for some of the children clapping their hands.
Sheila got closer to the commotion, directly approaching some of the children who were there.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you treating your friends like this?" sheila said as she walked up to the crying child. Some of the children who had been there immediately dispersed themselves.
Sheila then tidied up the girl's messy hair, persuading her to stop crying.
"Hi little fairy... Why crying?" tanyanya while wiping away the tears of the girl.
"They said I was a village... Hicks..."
With a smile, Sheila shook her head. "No, you're so pretty... Like fairies. Let's sit down first." Sheila took the boy to a chair in the park. Sheila gently wiped the pale-faced boy's tears.
"They're all evil. No one wants to be my friend..."
"Oh, yeah... Then just be friends with me. I can be a good friend." Sheila wiped the remains of the boy's tears. Seeing the incident made him remember his childhood, where no other child would want to be friends with him.
The adorable boy's cry turned into a happy smile. "Yes, I want to be friends with Brother. Doesn't my sister have any friends?" The boy's words made Sheila feel anxious, which even sounded rudimentary while speaking.
Sheila pursed her lips while shaking her head. "has no. That's why I want to be friends with you. We can be good friends."
"All right." The boy raised his little finger in front of Sheila. "Friends?"
"Friends.." said Sheila linking her little finger. "What's your name?"
"Michella.." she replied. "But Fifi's mother called me Chella."
"Michella...?" sheila asked making the child nod slowly.
