Returning home, Hadi did not go straight into his room. He sat for a moment in the middle room. Along with that, his phone clinked. A sign of a message coming in.
Hadi reached into his pocket, took the phone from inside. The next second he opened the message with the name of the sender is Nadine, his own daughter.
From the content of the message, which features a video where Clarissa looks panicked and frightened, and raved indeterminate. Hadi was able to conclude that the one who hit Irene the other day was Clarissa. Because the day and date were the same when Irene got into an accident. Hadi still remembers his time clearly.
The guess was right, when a second message from Irene that said that it was most likely Clarissa who hit him the other day.
Hadi also grinned thinly. Now, what more evidence does he need. Even the recording of Gina's conversation with Herman at the cafe the other day was in her hands. Plus a recording of Gina's conversation with Clarissa a few hours ago.
While Hadi messaged with Irene, in her room, Gina was upset to death. A message from Herman containing photos of Hadi hugging Olivia made him inflamed.
"Awas you Olivia. Soon I will get you out of Hadi's life. Not only you, your daughter I will disappear. No one can take Clarissa's position. Even if it's Hadi's real daughter." Gina growled in the flames of her anger.
"Grad ..." Deheman's voice suddenly sounded, suddenly crying Gina. Until he jumped and hurriedly got up from the edge of the bed. Approaching Hadi who he did not know how long he had been standing in the doorway.
Gina was suddenly nervous. For he did not realize his carelessness, leaving the door of his room open.
"Mahs ... Is papah home yet?" Gina's silly questions cover her nervousness. Hadi almost heard what had just come out of his mouth.
"Hm ..." Hadi muttered enough to answer Gina's silly question. While walking towards the closet to pick up her sleeping pajamas.
"Let Mama get Pah." Tawar Gina hurriedly approached Hadi who had opened the wardrobe.
"no need. I can do it myself." Then go to the bathroom after taking her pajamas suit.
Gina was furious as Hadi disappeared behind the closed bathroom door. His growing anger was not restrained anymore. I want him to eliminate Olivia right now.
He struggled to hold on to accompany Hadi who even thought it did not exist. He tried hard to do all kinds of ways so that Hadi did not throw him just like that. Now with the presence of Olivia and Nadine, has messed things up. Even ruined his dream. Clarissa became the sole heir to Hadi Irawan's fortune.
"Just wait for Olivia's play date. Soon, you'll be out of this world." Grumpy Gina cynical.
While in the bathroom, Hadi smiled cynically. He heard Gina's words from behind the door. He cleared his throat after he heard everything.

The expected day arrived. Night at a star hotel.
Ballroom Hotel Royal looks crowded with invited guests who began to arrive. As well as the media crew who had prepared an hour earlier.
Super tight security is visible in every corner of the hotel. Even for every invited guest will pass a strict inspection before entering the ballroom.
Everything was arranged according to Hadi's plan. The staff helped prepare everything. Axelle and Irene had left home a few hours earlier, wearing only makeshift clothes.
In one of the hotel's VIP rooms, the two of them were getting ready to be dressed by a MUA. Boni always faithfully accompanied, preparing all the needs of Axelle and Irene.
While Axelle and Irene were preparing to attend an event that her father had specially prepared for her. Olivia and Nadine Kawe just got out of the house.
Olivia chose to drive alone without a driver. He did it on Hadi's orders. Since Hadi knew, Herman would definitely follow Olivia.
Allegedly Hadi did not miss. As soon as Olivia and Nadine kavee get out of the house, Herman follows their car silently.
Arriving on a dark and deserted road, Herman quickly intercepts Olivia's car. Olivia had to stop her car. Braked suddenly, making his head almost hit the steering wheel of the car.
Herman is not alone. He's with a fellow preacher. Herman ruffled the window of Olivia's car. Ask Olivia to get out of the car.
With peace of mind, Olivia and Nadine Kawe got out of the car. Herman and his friend tied their hands together and took them forcibly to his car. In the next second, Herman's car drove off the deserted road.
The Royal Hotel ballroom.
Gina and Clarissa had just arrived with their best looks. Who can amaze every eye that looks.
Gina circulated a glance, looking for a familiar figure among the guests present. The smile on his face was engraved, as the figure he was looking for did not even appear before him. He felt sure, the plan tonight went perfectly.
"Mom ... Where's daddy going?" Clarissa asked as she swept her eyes looking for the father figure among the many invited guests.
But Hadi, none of the guests were present. With Olivia and Nadine Kavee. It made Gina happy.
"Where Mommy knows. Maybe Daddy's with his colleague."
"Bu Olive and Nadine haven't been seen yet."
What Gina believed proved. Herman sends a message to her informing her that he has kept Olivia and Nadine in an empty warehouse.
Gina smiled even more. Because happy for his plan that went smoothly.
The predetermined time for tonight's party has come. An MC said a few words of welcome. The media were busy covering the party that night. Even the evening party was broadcast live on several television stations.
"I would like to thank you very much for the presence of my colleagues, friends, relatives and media crews at this evening's event. No word can describe my happiness, by the grace God has given me.
Actually, the event at night today, I held on a small scale as a form of happiness and my gratitude, for the presence of someone back in the midst of my family. Someone who means so much in my life." Hadi said at length on stage, through loudspeakers. In front of many cameras.
"This evening's ceremony was deliberately held to introduce my beloved daughter. Which the Lord has brought back, after all these years we have been apart." Added.
In her place, Gina and Clarissa sat quietly among the other guests.
Unlike Clarissa who sat with a sour face. Gina smiled happily. Because he knew, Nadine would not be able to be present in this place.
"Mom ... Mommy looks so happy. What the hell is Mom?" Clarissa asked half a whisper.
"Try to see. Among all the people in this room, did you see Olivia and Nadine?"
Clarissa took her eyes off. Observing everyone present. Of the many invited guests, he did not see the figure of Olivia and Nadine kave, which he believed to be the original Nadine. His gaze was precisely pounded on the figure of the man who had just entered the ballroom with several bodyguards escorted. And take a seat at the VIP table that has been made available.
Axelle.
Which makes Clarissa wonder, and wonder, why Axelle came alone. Without Irene to go with him.
"Cla, Mommy already said right, that Mommy ak_" Gina's speech was interrupted because Clarissa was more focused on looking at Axelle across the street.
"Why baby? Who are you watching?" Gina asked as she followed Axelle's line of sight.
"That's dear. Men like Axelle are out there a lot. You can even get more if you want." Gina comforts Clarissa.
"No Mommy. Axelle's different."
"What's different. Same with other men. The proof is that he turned away from you, right? She'd rather be that village woman than you. A beautiful model, a professional, even the daughter of a number one producer. A guy like Axelle doesn't deserve you to defend. Nevermind."
Clarissa took a heavy breath. He refocused his eyes forward. Watching Hadi speaking on stage.
"alright. I don't want to take much longer. Then we'll just go straight. I want to introduce my daughter. With his new identity. Let's welcome her, Nadine Jovanka Irawan." Said Hadi with a sumringah face.
Simultaneously, everyone present in the room turned their faces away. The camera's spotlight turned to a graceful woman walking on the red carpet, splitting among the guests present. Towards the main stage. Where Hadi Irawan, the father has been waiting.
Irene went up on stage with a clap of hands of everyone present. Among all those present, perhaps only Clarissa and Gina were shocked beyond measure.
The woman Hadi calls Nadine is Irene. While Gina was surprised, because Nadine in the photo on her phone has a different face.
"Tu_wait. That woman named Nadine? Wasn't Nadine ... Ariston ..." Gina took her phone from the small wallet in her hand. With a tense face, he took a good look at the photo Herman sent to his phone.
He looked carefully at the photo. Comparing Nadine in the photo with Nadine who is standing on stage at the moment.
"That little girl, what is she doing here?" Clarissa muttered both annoyed and curious.
"Do you know that woman?" Ask Gina.
"He took Axelle from me. He's Irene, Axelle's wife."
"Irene? Ta_but the woman ... What's he doing on stage with Daddy?" Gina is shocked to see Hadi embrace the friendly Irene on stage. In front of a pair of eyes. In front of many cameras. Even Hadi asked Axelle to come on stage.
"This is my beloved daughter. Which had been separated for years from me. His name is Nadine." Said Hadi once again.
Not just shock. Even today Gina and Clarissa seem to be holding back anger. Gina's plan failed miserably.
If the one standing on stage right now is Nadine, then who's around Herman now?
Did Hadi know of his plan?
Gina shook her head in disbelief. With a difficult expression. Between the shock and the burning anger.
