What does this girl want? Is he looking for a way to refuse my orders? If he dares to do that, I will completely finish him off tonight as well. He's not a Gracetian. His family or close friends won't notice his absence until it's too late. His body was already destroyed united with the ground and could not be found again by them.
Eliana said inwardly as she stared intently at Alaya.
"What do you want Miss?" Eliana said with her eyes looking at Alaya with a sharp and intimidating look.
"May. i. get a little down payment for the task that the Queen Mother will give. Ah, I mean.. Don't you.. If you want to look beautiful and perfect in front of the noble Alvero, I also have to have good clothes, beautiful jewelry, as well as other branded items...? And I. need a lot of money for that…." Alaya said with a doubtful tone and grimacing lips, also the face looks shy, making Eliana not angry, but instead laughed with a face that looks so happy.
(Branded is a term derived from the word brand which in Indonesian has the meaning Brand. So if we mean then branded has the meaning of the word branded in Indonesian. If you find the word shoes or branded bags in online/offline stores then it means branded bags. And usually, these items are known for their special materials and qualities, and also expensive prices).
Because for Eliana, Alaya's request just now shows that she has found the right person for her plan against Alvero.
Huh! A truly materialistic girl! This time my choice was right! I didn't choose wrong! A materialistic girl like her would be much easier to control as long as there was a reciprocal. He will truly be a shameless slave, and will always be able to be a obedient dog to his master, as long as there is good food served before his eyes. I'm sure I'll easily control this girl with treasures.
Eliana said in her heart, after which Eliana laughed out loud.
"Ha ha ha. Of course Miss! That small thing, no need to worry. But remember! In less than 2 weeks! You must succeed in getting close to king Alvero and make him at least want to be friends with you! If in two weeks you don't succeed! I'll find another girl. And surely you know what will happen to you if I find your replacement, and you are no longer useful to me!" Eliana said as she opened her bag, took out a stack of hundred dollar bills and placed it in front of Alaya who immediately smiled and shamelessly picked it up, making Eliana's face even more satisfied.
Gotchas! It turns out my trap worked. Finally, now you must think I'm a materialistic girl who would be willing to do anything for money. That way he'll trust me more and more. Welcome to your hell door, madam!
Alaya said in her heart with a smile, a smile that to Eliana looked like a timid smile, while to Alaya that smile was a welcome smile for Eliana to her own trap hole.
Alaya herself interprets her own smile as a welcome to Eliana to her own trap that will bring her own destruction.

"Ha ha ha." Alvero really laughed out loud to hear how Alaya's story about the conversation from the results of her meeting with Eliana earlier.
"I. yes sweet. Tung... A moment." Alvero tried to speak in the midst of her heart-wrenching laughter, with her hands twitching in the air.
As soon as Alvero stopped laughing, Alvero immediately grimaced while holding his stomach that felt stiff because of cramps due to too long and laughed a lot, making Alaya can only smile amusedly seeing the funny side of an Alvero she has never known because of their recent encounter.
Deanda who sat next to him immediately stroked the stomach of Alvero who was sitting slipping his legs with his back leaning on the back of the sofa he was sitting on.
"Ouch...." Alvero said softly with a grimace and one of her hands was massaging her stiff cheeks with her fingers.
"You are really. I told you not to laugh too long and hard if you don't want your stomach to cramp like it is now." Deanda said as she held back her gel smile looking at her husband's condition.
"But sweetie, do you know....?" Alvero said as he quickly moved to sit back in an upright position, and immediately looked towards Deanda.
"Why my Al? What do you want to say?"
"No. just did you know that what Alaya told you just now is the funniest story I've heard in my entire life. Mmpphhh..." Alvero said with an end to close his lips with his palm to hold his mouth so as not to laugh chuckling again.
"That's not how big brother. Even at the beginning of the meeting, he questioned my relationship with Ernest. He thought that I was Ernest's lover, because one of his informants gave me info on how Ernest had once driven me to the office in his personal car when Brother asked him to drive me from Renhill to Tavisha." This time Alvero again laughed, although only a piety because it was not finished with the thought of Eliana who was wrong about who Alaya really was.
And of course Eliana's misunderstanding of the situation and who Alaya is to Alvero really benefits them. It even made Elian willingly walk into his own trap.
"Well, I've completely run out of the snake woman's wits. Maybe he's thinking of making me cheat on another woman. Haisty! what a disgusting thought!" Alvero said as she shook her head with a smile still visible on her lips.
"As I thought, the presence of Ornado has made Eliana lose control. It seemed like the surprise of Ornado's arrival had already made the snake woman's brain shift from its place. It makes him unable to think sanely. Did he think of an affair my parents had that made me suffer for years I would follow? There's really no shame in that disgusting woman." Alvero said while taking a deep breath.
"Even after hearing the story from papa Alexis, I fully believe that papa had been framed by Eliana at that time, not because papa was indeed tempted by the woman grabbing the man's husband. Moreover, papa loves Mama Larena so much. It's impossible for you to look at another woman, a woman like Eliana, who is seen from any side makes me want to vomit." Alvero resumed his words with a face that looked disgusted, making Alaya and Deanda look at each other and immediately smile.
