As Samuel recalled, she first met Valerie at a birthday party. Become acquainted. Exchanging cellphone numbers, until finally in a relationship.
After years of being in love, Samuel admitted that she had never succeeded in bringing Valerie to meet Arabella and Alfonso. There are always obstacles that prevent him from introducing Valerie to his parents.
Now, in the meeting room when previously hearing Valerie’s babble that seemed far-fetched, Samuel was taken aback. Not only him, maybe everyone else in the room must have felt the same way.
Arabella, who had been silent, finally spoke up.
Even more surprising, the woman who is often nicknamed the Empress of Palma is the figure who is responsible for all the good and bad luck for this woman who works as a professional model.
“Just so you know, I’m the one who’s been controlling all of your work and career lately.”
For a while Valerie tried to digest every word Arabella had just said. With a questioning face, the woman tried to ask the mother of her ex-boyfriend for more explanation.
“W-what do you mean Aunt?”
Arabella smiled mockingly. Without a burden, the middle-aged woman replied, “Yes. Valerie Anastasia. I am the person who has been arranging and paying for all the big brands for contracts and taking you abroad. If you ask for what purpose? Yes, of course so that my son can go far away. -stay away from a snake girl like you!”
Valerie shook her head. Struggling to refute what Arabella had just said.
“No… this is impossible!”
“Oh come on, Valerie. Open your eyes!”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Arabella rose from her seat. Standing up, then walked deliberately closer to Valerie’s position.
“You should also know that all this time, I have always been watching Samuel’s movements out there. As soon as I found out she was close to a woman, I immediately asked my confidants to investigate what your background was like. And boom! Turns out you’re not a woman who deserves for a great heir of Walters.”
Arabella smiled a smile. Judging from the expressions showing, it seemed that there would be a lot of truths that the woman wanted to show everyone.
“You should realize why every time Samuel plans to bring you together with her parents, there are always work-related obstacles. And finally, when it’s my birthday, you actually get the big job you’ve been dreaming of, right? That’s all. I set it that way.”
“Auntie is too much!” Valerie snapped. Her face flushed. Feeling completely humiliated, especially now that there are so many people watching. Instead of cornering Samuel or Walters’s family, now he is the target. Bad luck!
“This is not too much. But the maximum protection that a mother does for her son. How could I be willing that my only son whom I love so much, has to be side by side with a slut and materialistic woman like you!”
“But Auntie doesn’t have the right to play with my life,” argued Valerie, not wanting to lose. His eyes stared. A gesture of annoyance that had reached the top of the head.
Meanwhile, Arabella was still relaxed. The woman didn’t care one bit that everyone in the meeting room knew what happened to her family.
“Then I just let it go when you tricked Samuel? Made her a lover as well as a walking ATM where you can use her wealth as you please? Okay, you may be happy because I let you have a relationship for several years. But to be a wife let alone part of the Walters family? No ! Never dream!” said Arabella emphatically. His face that looks cynical, really depicts that he doesn’t want his son to have the slightest relationship with Valerie.
He thought, painstakingly educating, raising Samuel wholeheartedly. Give the best. But his son was even wrong step. Establish a relationship with the female incarnation of the snake. Arabella was of course not willing.
“Don’t tell Samuel’s future wife even once, did the aunt prepare it?” guessed Valerie and was immediately met with laughter by Arabella.
“Of course. Ariana is the chosen person that I have prepared to assist Samuel. In fact, I even prepared tenders with Pakuwon for them.”
Not only Valerie, Samuel in her seat even felt shocked. He never thought that his mother had too much power and role in his life.
Not only Valerie, Samuel in her seat even felt shocked. He never thought that his mother had too much power and role in his life.
Even at a very mature age, Arabella managed and guarded her life in such a way. Trying so hard to give whatever is best for him.
“Ah, one more thing, Valerie. You must know this one.”
Valerie thought the surprise she was about to receive was over. In fact, as if she didn’t run out of words, Arabella kept bombarding him with many unexpected things.
“Your attempt to bring down my child by spreading skewed news to the media a few days ago, in fact, had no impact or had any effect.”
Valerie hastily shook her head. Knowing that his position was being threatened, he immediately denied the accusation.
“Who do you mean aunt who spread oblique news? Me?” pointed Valerie to herself. “Don’t slander! Auntie, I can sue you for defamation. You can even do something unpleasant because you’ve been playing with my life all this time.”
Just like before, Arabella was still relaxed. Meanwhile, the other participants in the meeting kept silent. As if natural even just enjoy the feud of two different generation of women in front of them.
“I hope, having heard the evidence myself, that you will be able to offer a rebuttal.”
Arabella then turned towards Axton. Nodding his head, motioning for Samuel’s assistant to do what he should do.
So Axton immediately rose from his seat. Walk towards the room operator. Bring a laptop that he had prepared earlier.
Deliberately listening to one of the recorded conversations that Randa and Samuel had secretly obtained from Valerie’s apartment.
Everyone, listened to how in the recording Valerie and Rama were involved in a serious conversation. The two of them were heard plotting in such a way as to bring down Samuel.
It’s not finished there. Axton also displays several photos in the overhead project and is seen by all meeting participants. Where the photo shows how Valerie and Rama appear to have met many times. Not to mention the video recording of the confession of one of Palma’s security officers who was bribed by Rama to sabotage Samuel’s CCTV room.
“How?” said Arabella, smiling broadly at Valerie. Seconds then threw the same gaze at Rama who seemed to be sitting restlessly in his chair.
More than that, unexpectedly the first grandson of the Walters family rose to his feet. Intend to get out of the room. Tried to run away, but fortunately Axton, with all his calculations, had prepared some security which in fact he had been assigned to guard since the door to the room was closed.
“Don’t try to run, Rama Adiaksa Walters. You must be responsible for all your actions.”
Arabella said that with full confidence. Turning to Valerie, before speaking again, Samuel Walters’s mother smiled a mocking smile.
“You should have obeyed your manager’s request to continue to settle abroad. After all, I gave you a good career, right? But because you were greedy and ungrateful, you went home and even worked with Rama to bring down Samuel. And now? Please enjoy what you’ve done. I’ll make sure you’re accountable for your actions to the authorities. Don’t forget too, accept the fact that after this the career you worked hard to build will just be ruined.”
Valerie shook her head. The woman then screamed hysterically. Not accepting what Arabella had just told him.
Together with Rama, both of them are in the midfield to leave the room. Picked up by the authorities, they were both arrested and immediately taken to the police station.
Meanwhile in the meeting room, the meeting resumed. According to the agenda, the board of commissioners and a representative from Pakuwon read out their decision whether to continue to sentence Samuel or to give the man sanction as what had been discussed previously.
