"WHAT?" Natalie couldn't hide her surprise, "the criminal took away the diamond you just bought?" continued.
Nadia just nodded while crying. He was at a loss to somehow replace those hundreds of millions worth of money. While the dizzy Thomas just lowered his head while frowning his forehead. Trial after trial kept coming toward their families. Either, what sins they have in the past, until they have to bear problems as complicated as this.
"Mother doesn't know it's going to be like this either, son!" Nadia is back. Crying and lamenting his fate, "Son, please help Mom. Help mom!"
Natalie joined the massage of her temple which immediately became heavy. He doesn't know what to do? because the missing diamond is nominally not tens of millions more, but hundreds of millions.
"But I don't have that kind of money, ma'am." Natalie turned her face away, "where can I get hundreds of millions in an instant?"
"Can you borrow your husband first?" nadia's proposal again is to borrow money from Nicholas. But without realizing it the more he borrowed money, the closer his family bond in the entanglement of Nicholas.
"Don't, Natalie!" This time Thomas' voice rang out resolutely. He strongly refused to ask Nicholas, his son-in-law, for help. Obviously, because Thomas still has more pride and shame than his wife, "don't you take Nicholas with you to our family problems! I've been so ashamed of him, because whenever there's a problem we always hang our lives on him."
"But what are we going to do? I don't want to go to jail." Nadia is back in protest.
"Looks like better prison for you, Nadia. So that you learn the meaning of life, and don't think sweet." Thomas left the room. He was tired, for what Nadia had done. Even it crossed Thomas's mind, if he had chosen to marry his lover whom he had left for Nadia, it might not have been what it is today.
Nadia grumbled as Thomas left. "What kind of husband are you, who wants his wife to go to jail? you have no heart."
"Mother, already! Dad was just kidding. Don't take it seriously," Natalie closed her eyes for a moment, "for this matter, let me talk to my husband first. Maybe he has a solution. But, to borrow money from him I can't."
"Loh, Why? 750 Million for Nicholas is nothing."
"What did mom say?" Natalie surprised. It's only right that Thomas is upset. Nadia was too good at business, "nothing for her, but not me" Natalie left Nadia, "already! wait here! I'll try to talk first."

"What?..750 million?" Nicholas jerks, "crazy! just yesterday 50 million. Now we have 750 million. You think I'm your family's walking ATM?"
Natalie scrunched her eyes, a little scared when she heard Nicholas say.
"I'm not asking you to lend me that much money. It's just, I'm asking you for help. How can I get that kind of money in the near future ... Or you can add to my work. Anything! I can do it."
"You know! even if you work one year in a row, for 24 hours. You won't be able to earn that kind of money, understand!" Nicholas raised his voice, "except ...."
"Except what, Nic? tell me!. If I could do it, I would do anything. As long as my mother doesn't go to jail."
Nicholas suddenly tilted his lips. Finally the long-awaited time came. He had a chance to put Nadia into an actual trap.

The two are reunited with Natalie's parents. There were Thomas, Nadia, Natalie and Nicholas in the living room. They will discuss the way out of this problem.
"So, how's your plan Nicholas?" Nadia was starting to get impatient. He could not calm down since. Thinking about the diamonds frightened him. He doesn't want to go to jail. That was all he had been thinking in his mind since.
"But I have a solution" continued Nicholas. He had walked with small steps around the room that was not too big, making Nadia endlessly follow him wherever Nicholas went, "I have a suitable job offer, I have a suitable job offer, that could make 750 million in the near future."
"What's that?" nadia asked enthusiastically.
Nicholas had delayed his words, deliberately so that Nadia was more curious.
"Quick say, Nicholas!" Nadia is getting impatient.
"Mom," Natalie held Nadia down so as not to force Nicholas to rush her. She knows who her husband is. Nicholas is the one who doesn't like to be rushed the most. Especially by someone who is not important.
"I have a friend, and she's in need of a nurse to take care of her sick mother."
"Nurse?" ask Natalie wonder. Just a nurse. This is obviously crazy. How could Nadia possibly earn that kind of money just by being a nurse. "you mean, you want me to be that nurse?"
Nicholas shook his head, "no-no! I didn't ask you to be a nurse. It's just, I'm offering, if you want. About whoever's gonna take it. I leave it to you."
Nadia could hold on. Who else would work if not him. Natalie has her own job, her husband is unlikely to be a nurse, because usually the nurse is a woman.
"How's it?" Nicholas asked Nadia, "are you ready?.. If you want, I can contact that person directly.
Nadia is still holding onto Nicholas' offer. What's true, just by being a nurse she'll earn that kind of money.
"Are you sure you can earn that kind of money just by being a nurse."
Nicholas nodded, "more than that can."
Seeing Nicholas' words so convincing, Nadia finally chose.
"All right, then I'll." With a bit of hesitation finally accepted the offer. An offer that will soon bring him together with a big reality. The fact that there is a grudge behind all the good Nicholas has to offer.
"Mom" Natalie looked in surprise at her mother. Honestly, he did not have the heart to see his parents working in people's places. Especially being a nurse. Natalie doesn't have the heart.
"It's okay, Natalie!" now Thomas is speaking, "let your mother learn to take responsibility for her mistakes." Thomas then stood up from his seat, then patted Nicholas on the shoulder, "Son, Nicho. I thank you very much for your kindness."
"Together." Nicholas answered with a smile. A smile that honestly had another plan behind it all.

What plan would Nicholas actually do to Natalie's family?
