Married Bad Boy

The Part 98

Azri enlists the help of his friends to search for any information he can use against GN Group. He even plans to work with an American company. He met his boss when he was in college. Hopefully he can help. he believes at least he can save some companies if the cooperation is successful. For the rest, he would take back from the hands of the GN Group slowly.

Matthew moved faster. His subsidiaries are one by one taken over and his father's fears come true. Pradipta Group employees were fired and replaced by GN Group employees. The massive PHK event shook the country's economy.

His ears are tired of all the criticism, blasphemy, and scathing comments made by people. They consider the fall of Pradipta Group due to its inability to lead. Pradipta Group went bankrupt right after he was appointed CEO. Some councils even tried to remove him from the leadership of the Pradipta Group.

"After they wanted me to be CEO, now they want me to step down?"

Azri held onto the map with a statement from the board of directors. He exhaled heavily and laughed, "So this is the last weapon Matthew used to make me surrender? Dropping me from my current position? He wants to seize the only power I can do to save Pradipta Group."

How laughable. Azri did not know why he was laughing. He felt like God wanted to punish him. His outrageous attitude in the past was ruthlessly reciprocated in the present. He lost his wife and the company his father entrusted to him.

"Give up."

Azri raised his head. Why was he not surprised to see Lia Fernandez standing in front of him? Of course, this company is no longer his. Of course Lia can enter and exit this company without the need to pass through the security section.

"Now what do you want?" Azri asked without looking at him.

Lia Fernandez's expression was so flat. Azri did not see that actually Lia was looking at him sadly. In the heart of the girl wondered, why couldn't Azri see the love in her eyes?

"You've fallen. Your family's heyday is over. How many more treasures do you have now? Before you live poor, give up. I can return everything to you as long as you're willing to marry me."

"Give me one compelling reason why I should do it." Azri replied with a question.

Lia bit her inner lip. "You don't know your father? I don't think he's gonna want to give what he's been so hard-earned for just to fulfill his daughter's wish."

"My father will do it. Because he loves me so much. What is happening to you right now is because of me. He did it for me."

Instead of being afraid Azri actually laughed, "I think you misunderstood, Lia.“

Lia raised her eyebrows. Uncomprehending. "I think you're being used by him right now."

"Don't joke. My father is not like your father!"

Azri got up while shrugging her shoulders. "How could our father be any different? They are both more concerned with business than their families. What happens if you're used to it?"

"You don't know my father!" Lia doesn't like this topic of conversation. Soul shaken.

Why did Azri suddenly deflect the conversation on a topic that she hated? Lia doesn't like people saying that her father is just using her children to expand the business, just like when her father used her brother-Rendra to take over the Marleen family-owned company.

Azri grinned, he managed to hit the sensitive side of the girl. "Well, I don't know what your father is. But I can guess how her character was when she explained everything to me the other day. You know, your father was someone who was good at manipulating people. Believe it."

Lia gritted her teeth. "I won't believe." He turned his face. "Don't think it could distract me from our conversation. I still propose marriage as a solution to this problem."

"You haven't answered my question, Lia," Azri replied sharply.

Lia flinched, her heart trembling. He doesn't know what it's worth if he tells Azri? He looked at the man. “Will you be willing if I tell you I want you to marry me because I love you?"

Azri froze hearing it. Lia liked it? Loved it?! Highlighting the girl's fragile eyes somehow reminded her of Yuna when Azri first saw her crying. la shook her head trying to shake off her memory of Yuna because the next second she actually remembered Widya. His heart immediately hit his chest.

God, how could he forget Widya? That woman and the baby she contains!

Lia felt increasingly fragile seeing Azri ignore her. This man doesn't love her. In his heart and mind was written the name of another woman. Is there still room for him?

Azri had actually stuck a knife in Lia's heart. The girl nodded. "I wonder if you'd still turn me down if something happened to your father."

Whahuh? Azri has not had time to protest because the phone in his suit pocket vibrates. He glanced at the screen that gave rise to an unknown number. Azri glanced at the calm-looking Lia then raised the noisy object.

"Hello."

"Young Master-" Her servant's voice trembled in fear. Azri. "The Great Master was rushed to the hospital after falling down the stairs."

"What did you say?" Azri screeching. Lia's mysterious smile widened. "Well, I'll be there as soon as I can." He hurriedly put the phone in his pocket, tidied important files into his bag so he could go to the hospital.

"It seems like something really bad happened."

Azri's entire movement stopped. He dropped the map on the table and glanced at Lia, "I don't know if it's because of you or not, but I really won't forgive you if something happens to my father's life."

Lia shrugged her shoulders. “I think you hate him."

"No matter what I hate him he's still my father. Go now!" Azri grabs her briefcase and leaves Lia alone. The girl smiled cynically.

"I'm sure after this you will kneel asking me to marry you."

***

Widya immediately searches for a hideout when she sees Azri entering the lobby of the same hospital. The man ran with a panicked face. Of course, he himself was surprised when he got a call from the butler of the Pradipta Family that his father-in-law was rushed to the hospital. He tells the butler not to tell Azri that he called her.

Damn, why could he forget that Azri was also going there to meet his father? How'this? Widya is in the hospital. Should he go again? Actually he hates a place like a hospital. But he has to come here. He just wanted to see how his father-in-law was doing.

Azri is unaware of Widya's existence. He stepped out of his legs as quickly as possible, darting past some people in the hospital lobby until he finally arrived at his father's ward.

"Dad!"

"Calm down, the doctor is inside to treat your father." Aunt Swari was there to prevent Azri from breaking through the ward.

Azri floated his gaze at the butler who looked very worried. "Explain to me what's really going on?"

The old servant was surprised by Azri's clasping. "I'm sorry, Young Master. I was not there when he fell. I found the Great Lord already lying at the end of the stairs in an unconscious condition."

Azri cursed then menin ju wall beside him. "Damn!" his screams were accompanied by a startled screech of his aunt and servant.

Azri does not want to suspect anyone, but why does he feel that the accident that befell his father is related to Lia's words? Did that girl make her father fall down the stairs? he really wanted to destroy something with both hands. When did this chaos take place? Azri leaned against the wall and then slowly collapsed on the floor. She squeezed her hair in frustration.

"Widya, I need you here.“

From afar, Widya covered her mouth trying to survive the tears that were pressing out. she was sad to see Azri suffer. He could not bear to see the man he loved helplessly. He wanted to be there, next to Azri. Hugged the man and whispered words that could calm his heart. But he can't do all that.

He was there, a few meters away, but he couldn't do it.

Widya crying. He just found out how painful it is to not be able to touch the person you love when he is right in front of your eyes.
