Instantly Evan's body stiffened perfectly when he heard the judge's words, his outstretched hand pressed against the chest with a blurry vision.
"However, in the last investigation. We found that the allegations were made because of the element of accident, all because of the state of the suspect who was being shaken. But, we still do not justify the existence of slander in any form and intentional or not. For this reason, the court has made a decision. That is, Evan Deandra's brother was sentenced to prison for 2 years and 3 months, or a fine of one hundred million rupiah."
Dukes.
Dukes.
Dukes.
The judge knocked the hammer as a sign that the decision had been taken, is absolute and cannot be contested.
David who heard everything smiled triumphantly, while Evan lowered his body as his chest felt even more pain and tightness upon hearing all that.
Meanwhile, Mery was visibly sobbing in the arms of her husband upon hearing the Judge's decision. Sherly herself was speechless with a look of disbelief as she watched everything. His eyes opened wide, with a trembling body hearing the punishment for Evan.
The judge then said the defendant could appeal and charge if he did not agree, but of course with the files and supporting evidence for their denials.
"A-you're okay, sir?" rima asked frantically as she looked at Evan's face ashen. The man's body trembled violently, with cold sweat pouring down.
Brucks.
"Gat!" Endri squealed in surprise when he saw Evan slumped to the floor, making everyone in the room into an uproar.
Rima who was beside Evan immediately held onto the man, while Mery and the others rushed up to him.
"Evan, what happened to you, son?" mery asked frantically, she patted Evan's face to wake his son up.
The security forces immediately secured the place and told the people to get out. Do not forget they immediately contacted the ambulance, in order to come to the place immediately.
Bram who had been paying attention had been quite surprised by what had happened to Evan. He thought the man would go back to rampage like a divorce trial at that time, but what happened was even beyond the predictions of BMKG.
Meanwhile, Sherly who saw her husband unconscious looked very panicked and anxious. He tried to get close, but was quickly pushed by the in-laws.
"What you're doing, I want-"
"Don't touch my son!" mery snaps with rage. "Aren't you satisfied with making my son like this, huh?" He looked at Sherly naggingly, making the woman go numb.
"You really ruined my son's life. Not only did you destroy my job and business, but you also made my son sick like this. All this because of you, damned you cheap woman!" maki Mery while pointing right at Sherly's face.
Sherly was speechless with teary eyes, truly she did not mean anything like this at all. "No, Ma. Me, I don't-"
"Shut up!" mery's snapping back made Endri forced to calm him down. "Go away, I don't want to see your face anymore. And don't show up in front of my son for good!" He could no longer hold back.
Sherly shook her head and refused the words of the in-laws, but she could not do anything because Endri asked her to leave so that the atmosphere would not increase.
Moments later, the health worker arrived at the site and immediately took Evan to the hospital. Mery and Endri enter the ambulance, while Sherly follows them in a taxi.
David who had been watching from a distance seemed to laugh at what was happening. It was unexpected that Evan would be shaken when he heard the judge's verdict, even though he had never seen the man fall like that.
"When this is just an initial attack, but you've been sprawled like that" David murmured, wouldn't his revenge feel hollow if his opponent was dying like that?
"David!"
"It seems you are very happy to see your opponent fall, yes," said Bram with his demonic smirk, making David chuckle.
"Of course, but it's all so no fun if there's no resistance, right?" david's lips made Bram shake his head.
His cousin is indeed beyond common sense, that's why the brother always quarrel with David.
"Oh well, there's someone who wants to meet you, Vid. Come on, come with me!" invite Bram later, making David frown confused.
David asks who wants to see him, but Bram does not answer him and only says if he will also find out later.
Elsewhere, Abbas and Keanu were seen in one of Abbas's restaurants. They seemed to be waiting for someone, who was currently on the way.
"I didn't expect the case to be over so quickly" Abbas said. Just a few days ago he heard about a defamation case involving Evan, and today the verdict hearing has been implemented.
"Of course everything goes fast if there's Bram, Pa," Keanu replied.
Abbas nodded his head. She is grateful that Ayun is now completely separated from Evan, otherwise her daughter will suffer again.
Moments later, also came the people who had been waiting for by Abbas and Keanu. As David rounded his eyes when he saw who the person wanted to meet him was, he immediately nodded his head and greeted them.
"Happy afternoon, sir," said David nervously. He had heard how powerful the two men before him were from Bram, but why did they want to meet him?
"Good day too, David. I'm sorry if we interrupt your time, please sit down" Abbas replied kindly making David smile awkwardly.
They all sat there. Some waiters came to serve their lunches, because it happened to be a good time.
"I have ordered food for you, I hope you like it" Abbas said, inviting them to enjoy the meal.
David and Bram were grateful for what Abbas was doing, then enjoyed the meal awkwardly and tensely.
After finishing, the servants came back and cleaned up their food marks. Make the conversation feel comfortable and calm.
"Before, I would like to thank David who was ready to fulfill our request. And you must be busy right now" Abbas said, opening their conversation.
"It's okay, Sir. I'd be happy and honored to meet you. But, may I ask why you want to meet me?" ask David slowly.
Abbas nodded his head as he glanced at Keanu, giving the order that his son-in-law would speak.
"I hear you're the most competent employee in the business that Evan runs, I've heard about what's going on between you."
Keanu's words instantly made David's chest thump, as he did not expect that they would discuss the matter.
"But all of that has nothing to do with us, and we don't care. Regardless of what happens between you and him, we'd like to make you an offer."
