Alden drove Hanna home. In the car, Hanna asked what was troubling her mind. Back at Alden's house, he didn't feel well for Adel, so he held him back until he came home.

"You don't get along with your stepmother?" hanna asked who was curious about Alden and Cindy's relationship.

"Hem."

"Why?"

"Because I hate him!" answer Alden ketus.

"Yes, but why do you hate him?"

"You're so fucking cocky!" sneered Alden.

"I wonder why you're being rude to him?" sumpul Hanna gagged.

"Because he deserved it!"

"Is he bad?"

"I think, yes."

Hanna frowned, "What crime has she ever committed?"

"He wants to take Papa's treasure."

"Why then do you still let her stay in that house?" hanna asked again, she grew curious about Alden's life.

"I tried to throw him out, but he didn't want to get out of the house. He insisted on staying on the pretext that he was Papa's late wife. I've tried to give him his share, but he insists on controlling everything and making his spoiled son the leader of Papa's company" Alden said.

"How much is he!"

"Indeed!"

"Then does Raline know all this? Hem, I mean do you and your stepmother fight in front of her like that?"

Alden nodded while remaining focused on driving.

"Had his sister said that, '" Hanna said.

Alden frowned, "Why are you asking that?"

Hanna shook her head, "It's okay, I just want to know."

The two of them were silent, there was no more conversation between them.

Alden's car stopped perfectly in front of Hanna's house, the woman hurriedly removed her seat belt and was about to get off, but Alden pulled the end of the dress he was wearing.

"Wait a minute!"

Hanna turned to look at Alden, "What else?"

"Borrow your cell phone!" Alden put his hand in front of Hanna's face.

"For what?" hanna asked confusedly.

"Borrow it!"

Hanna clucked violently, but still obeying Alden's request, she reached into his mobile phone from inside the bag and gave it to the man.

Alden looked at the flat object in amusement, "Your phone is so old! It's old, ugly again. Can it still be used?"

Hanna snorted resentfully at Alden's insults, so she snatched his phone from him, "You borrowed my phone just to insult him? So arrogant!"

"Hey, return! I'm not done!" Alden was about to reclaim the worn-out flat object, but Hanna put it in the bag.

"Already! I'm going down!" Hanna hurriedly opened the car door, but Alden quickly closed it back down.

"What do you want?" hanna's pissed off.

"Here is your phone!"

"Make what? Let me insult you again?"

"I have to" said Alden.

Hanna let out an exasperated breath, she fingered the contents of her bag and took out the beloved phone again.

"Well!"

Alden grabbed Hanna's phone and turned it on.

"I'm opening this!"

"Just say it!" insist Alden force.

Hanna was more upset with Alden's stubbornness, she finally replied with a ketus, "202020."

Alden immediately entered the password and Hanna's phone screen opened, showing Hanna and Niko's photo wallpaper in an amusement park. This time it was Alden who was annoyed at seeing Niko's face.

Ignoring the photo that made her mood broken, Alden then entered her own phone number and kept it with a name that would make Hanna amused. Then he dialed her number from Hanna's phone.

Hanna is shocked when Alden's phone rings aloud, then dies.

"Well, I've saved my number on your ugly phone." Alden returned Hanna's phone.

Hanna scowled and grabbed her phone rudely, "Bas on the arrogant rich!"

Alden didn't comment on Hanna's claims, preferring to check her phone and keep the woman's number.

Hanna then opened the door and rushed out of Alden's car, the man immediately darted away. She unhappily stepped closer to her house, but Hanna was stunned when she heard the voice of a stranger talking to Maya and mentioning her name.

Hanna's emotions immediately rose to the crown, she ran into the house in anger.

"I'm serious, Mom. If not for ...."

"The tar! What are you doing here?" cut Hanna fast before Tara finishes talking.

Tara glared, she was shocked because Hanna suddenly came home.

"Hanna!" scold Maya, but Hanna doesn't care.

Hanna stared intently at Tara sitting beside Maya, "I warn you, don't interfere in my affairs! And now also get out of my house!"

Tara's face was instantly sour, she got up and hurriedly left Hanna's house without saying goodbye.

"Why is he here, Mom?" ask Hanna.

"So Tara told Mom that Niko and your future husband were fighting, is that true?"

Hanna bowed down furiously, Tara always just harassed her and meddled in the affairs.

"Han, answered Mom!"

Hanna nodded, "Yes, Mom."

"Why?"

Hanna was excited, she was confused as to what reason to give.

"Is there a problem you don't know about?"

"No, Ma. It's just a misunderstanding and it's over, really" Hanna told a lie, she couldn't possibly tell her mother the truth.

Maya sighed tiredly, "But the villagers were excited by the incident, so they talked about you and your future husband,"

Hanna ventured to look at the mother's sad face, "Don't think about it, Mom! Let them say what, we don't care."

"Now I'm resting, yeah! I don't want Mom's condition to drop again" continued Hanna.

Maya nodded with a smile.

"But tonight you sleep in Mom's room, huh? You have to tell me how it was at your future husband's house" Maya said.

"Yes, I'll change clothes first. Then I went to Mom's room."

"Yes, I went to the room first." Maya takes her steps into a simple room that is usually a place to rest.

Hanna breathed a sigh of relief because Maya believed in him and did not prolong the matter, but her sense of regret for Tara did not necessarily disappear just like that, he will teach a lesson to the nosy gossip.

Hanna's phone suddenly rang, she immediately pulled the phone out of the bag and frowned in surprise when she saw the caller's ID.

- ALDEN BULL

"Based on crazy rich!" hanna Sumpat.

Meanwhile in a simple room measuring three times three, Niko was sitting while looking at her picture and Hanna, a similar photo that was also on the wallpaper of the woman's phone.

"You have heart, Han! You are selfish and stubborn! I didn't expect you to be like this" said Niko Lirih.

Niko's heart is disappointed and hurt because Hanna would rather marry Alden than accept his help, even though she sincerely wants to save the woman.
