The Successor of the President
Episodes 3.

In the car, Alden continues to imagine Hanna's face and the diamond ring that was on the woman.

"It can't be just a coincidence, her face and the ring, why exactly the same?"

Alden never thought, how could there be two strangers who are so similar even though their personalities are a little different.

"Are they twins? But as far as I'm concerned Raline is the only child of the puppet, she's the only daughter of the Adiwiyata family." Alden started to guess.

Alden's head started to get dizzy thinking about this, and what made him even more confused, how could the diamond ring on Hanna be exactly like the one Raline was supposed to wear? What's all this?

"I have to find out" Alden muttered, sending a message to Jojo to come to his house immediately.

Alden threw his phone into the next seat after he finished sending a message to his assistant, then increased the speed of his car.

Twenty minutes later, Alden arrived at his luxurious residence, Jojo had already arrived and was waiting for him in front of the house.

"Good afternoon, sir." Jojo greeted Alden while looking down respectfully as he watched his boss get off the car.

"Good afternoon. You're coming with me!" pinta Alden while walking past Jojo, the man with glasses rushed to follow the boss.

Alden took Jojo to his study, he took off the suit and tie that he wore to be a little relieved.

"What are you calling me, sir?" jojo asked, standing in front of Alden, he knew something was wrong until his boss called him out of business.

"Sit down, there's something I want to ask you before I tell you to do something."

Jojo sat down immediately.

"Jo, do you think there's anyone who doesn't have blood ties but whose face is exactly the same?" ask Alden later.

"You mean twins, sir?" Jojo.

"Yes, you could say so! But they're not brothers."

"There's, sir. I've seen the news, there are some people who look like identical twins but have no blood relation at all" Jojo replied straightforwardly.

"So there is, huh?"

Jojo nodded, "Yes, sir."

Alden seemed to think, he again imagined the face of Hanna who was so similar to Raline. Are they just coincidentally similar?

"Sorry, if you may know, why are you suddenly asking like that, sir?"

"So I met a woman, her face was very similar to Raline's" Alden said.

Jojo gasped, "You serious, sir?"

"Yes, but his attitude and temperament are different. He's a little rough and fierce, not soft like Raline." Alden remembers his ex-girlfriend.

"Is she perhaps Miss Raline's twin?"

"I thought so too, but as far as I know Raline is a child, she has no siblings" Alden replied.

"It's possible that they were separated from childhood as in those soap operas, sir."

"You're a victim of soap operas!" grouse Alden.

Jojo just grimaced in embarrassment while scratching his back head that was not itchy.

"But I want you to keep investigating all this, find out the truth. I'll tell you the address of the woman who looks like Raline" Alden said.

Jojo nodded obediently, "Well, sir."

"I'm really wondering who he really is?"

"Hem, where did you meet him?"

Jojo frowned in surprise, "Well, how come? Why such a coincidence?"

Alden shrugged his shoulders, "Come, Jo! I don't understand all this either, who is that woman and why does she have the ring? Because when viewed from where he lived, it was impossible for him to buy such an expensive ring."

"Maybe the ring is fake, sir."

Alden shook his head, "The ring is real, I can see it."

"Then has he compensated for your car being scratched, sir?"

Alden shook his head again, "No, I left immediately upon seeing the ring. I'm still heartbroken and upset that I suddenly thought of Raline."

"They look a lot like, huh, sir?" Jojo.

"Yes, Jojo! The woman's face and Raline's like a betel in two, only her appearance and attitude are different."

Suddenly a crazy idea pops into Jojo's head, he smiles meaningfully.

"Sir, I have an idea."

"What idea?"

"How about you ask that woman to marry you in place of Miss Raline?"

Alden gasped, "You're crazy, huh? Your idea doesn't make sense! Where could we get married!"

"Why not, sir?"

"Jo, I don't know what she looks like, she's probably married. He also would not want to!"

"We try first, sir. I'll find out about him."

Alden was silent, he still felt doubtful.

"Sir, you're out there on the lips of your business rivals and employees, because of your null and void marriage plans with Miss Raline. So this is your chance to get rid of the rumors. You can simply hold a simple wedding in a hidden place and spread the photos to the media without any statement. They'll think if you're really married to Miss Raline," suggested Alden-savvy Jojo.

Alden was unmoved to digest the idea of his subordinates.

"They must have thought you canceled the booking place and WO that time because you wanted to hold a closed wedding elsewhere," continued Jojo conveyed his idea.

"But what if Raline and her family denied the news? Everything will be revealed, Jo."

"You take it easy, whatever they say later, you don't have to respond to it or clarify it. Let them guess the truth for themselves. This will also be an opportunity for you to be more famous among other business people, because there must be a lot of talk about you."

"That means it's the same I'm looking for a sensation."

"It doesn't seem to be a problem at all times, sir. It's for the sake of your good name and career as well" said Jojo.

"Are you sure this won't be a problem?"

Jojo nodded steadily, "I'm sure, sir."

"All right, I'll follow your advice. But if there's a problem and my good name is getting ruined, you have to take responsibility!"

"Ready, Sir!"

Alden exhaled, to be honest he was a little hesitant about Jojo's proposal, he was afraid that this would cause new problems. But he had no choice, he had to clear his good name and repair his damaged charm due to the painful rejection of the ex-lover.
