The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 87

Meanwhile, in the city.

"Dear, be honest with Mommy. What is it you are, actually? There's no way 'there's a sudden bruise on your body like this without anything happening?" mrs Kharisma asked with furrowed eyebrows to Alfa who was fluttering on her bed.

Alfa smile. "Yes, geez, Mommy. I told Mommy that I accidentally slipped on the employee stairs and then fell and rolled over causing my body to become like this. If Mommy doesn't believe it, Mommy can ask this to David," said Alfa tried to convince.

"Mommy doesn't believe it. What does an elevator do if you still use the stairs?" upset Mrs Kharisma because Alfa was still tight-lipped, not wanting to tell him the truth about the incident.

"I've explained that the elevator suddenly died, but now that Mommy is calm, the elevator has been repaired by the technicians."

"Have, excuses!" Madam Kharisma got up from her position and waltzed off to the door of the room.

"Trust me, Mom." Alfa chuckled softly at the mother who looked upset.

"No! Mommy remained in disbelief, "he replied as he walked out of the room and left Alfa in the room alone.

Meanwhile in Mr. Harry's private room.

"Tell me the truth, David. What really happened to Alpha. Why would his body be filled with such bruises. Did he fight with someone? Or was he in an accident again?" ask Mr. Harry who is also no less curious.

David breathed heavily. Almost a hundred times Mr. Harry asked him the same question and almost a hundred times he answered him with the same answer. To the point that he was tired of hearing and answering the old man's question.

Actually David was eager to be honest, but he had promised Alfa that he would not tell the real events to happen to Mr. Harry or Mrs Kharisma.

"I'm sorry, sir. My answer is still the same as before that Mr. Alfa had an accident while climbing the stairs" David replied with his head bowed.

Mr. Harry snorted in annoyance. "Honestly, David. I know you two deliberately conspired and hid the true events from us. Right, right?"

"No, Mr. Harry. How dare I lie to you," replied David firmly.

"If you're caught lying, then I won't hesitate to fire you, David."

Mr. Harry tried to bully David into telling him the truth. However, it seems David knew it was just a bluff, so the man did not feel worried at all.

Mr. Harry bent his face and flicked his hand in front of David.

"Yes, now go!" tell Mr. Harry.

"Good, Sir. Excuse me first." David rushed out of the room with a sigh of relief.

After David's death, Mrs Kharisma arrived in the room with the same face as Mr. Harry.

"How, Honey?" ask Mr. Harry to Mrs Kharisma who is now coming closer to him.

Mrs Kharisma dropped herself right beside Mr. Harry while taking a deep breath.

"Still the same. Alfa still did not want to tell her what really happened to her," the woman replied as she shook her head slowly.

"Then, what about David? Did you get an answer from your assistant?" continued Mrs Kharisma with a fixed gaze, looking at Mr. Harry.

The middle-aged man laughed softly. "Same, the result is nil. I had even threatened to fire him, but David remained adamant about the answer."

The middle-aged couple was silent for a while and suddenly the room became silent. Until Mrs Kharisma re-opens her voice. She threw a smile while looking at her husband.

"I have an idea, honey. What if we hire a detective. We'll have him follow Alpha and David's activities for 24 hours non-stop until they're all uncovered. I'm sure both David and Alfa conspired to cover up the real events of us" Mrs Kharisma said.

"Yes. I agree, Honey! It seems better that way and I am sure that at any time they will never be honest with us" replied Mr. Harry with great enthusiasm.

After a while, Mr. Harry decided to call the number of one of his acquaintance detectives. He asked the man to investigate what really happened to Alfa and the plan that his only child would do.
