Throne Heir

The 128 eps

Rachel immediately swallowed her own saliva when she found Laura who was now in their midst. His body began to sweat coldly and tremble, because one by one other people first knew who he was in appeal to Arsen.

"So you're Rachel Chou Arsen Lim's little best friend?!" Laura's eyes were so round at the time.

In his heart, he still did not expect what he heard. How not, the person who had been continuously scorned by him, was the daughter of the owner of the largest hospital in the city.

"So you've been cheating us all this time? What do you mean doing all this ha? Why are you posing as Bella and working as Arsen's secretary?" An annoyed Laura starts to scold Rachel with all sorts of questions while starting to reject Rachel's rough shoulders.

Different as always, Rachel's attitude that day

Showing that she was really scared even she just kept quiet while being treated harshly by Laura.

"Heh, don't be rude to her!" Antony shook Laura's hand.

Laura looked at Antony with her frowning forehead.

"So you've known all along that she's Rachel Chou and tried to cover it up from all of us, especially Arsen Lim?!"

"Answering questions from you isn't a must for me." Antony replied, still trying to be calm.

"Emm well, I'd like to know how Arsen would react if he knew about this right now." Laura smiled cynically and immediately pulled out the phone from her bag.

"I know very well how Arsen Lim is, he is the most anti-lying human being, let alone a fatal lie like this. It's the same way you're playing with her." Laura added again as she continued to search for Arsen's contacts.

"I'll call him right now!"

"Don't!" Rachel immediately held Laura's hand.

Instantly Laura fell silent and looked at Rachel's face that was starting to pale.

"Please don't do that." Say Rachel again slowly.

"Huh, do you think I'm as good as that to obey your request ha?! I'll tell him right now, so he knows his future wife is nothing more than a con man."

"No, no, I beg you not now."

"Do you really want me to say nothing to Arsen?!" Laura asked looked seriously at Rachel's sad face.

Rachel also nodded.

"Then you must also obey my wishes."

"Whatis that? Do you want money? Or shopping at my family's boutique? I'll approve."

"That's quite tempting, but for now, being back on Arsen Lim's side is much more promising than that." Laura smiled back cynically.

"What do you mean?!" Rachel also closed her eyes.

"Deliver from Arsen Lim's life without leaving a word to her, never come to the engagement tonight or the events that follow. Get out of Arsen Lim's life."

"What?!" Rachel's eyes were made even more glaring.

"If you don't, it's not just your lies that I exposed to Arsen today either, but your extended family I'll put shame on your show." Laura's whisper showed the look of her contented face.

Rachel was silent for a moment, she continued to digest the threat posed by Laura, but on the other hand, her brain continued to think of the best way out.

"How's it?!" Ask Laura again.

Rachel finally breathed.

"Good."

"Ha, so you agree?"

Rachel also nodded.

"Hahaha what a poor Arsen Lim. But good, I hope you hold your word. If you dare come tonight, just look what I can do."

Laura left with her satisfaction, this time she really felt victorious because she held an ace of Rachel.

"Arsen will fall back, that's when I'll get back into his life by becoming his comforter's friend first." Laura muttered in her heart.

"Laura oh Laura, you're such a smart woman." He added again while again smiling full of satisfaction.

At that time only Antony and Rachel were left standing in front of the loby.

"Rachel, why...."

"Stop!" Rachel immediately pointed her index finger in front of Antony.

"I hate you." Rachel finally shed her tears, then went straight in leaving Antony just like that.

Antony was silent to Rachel's departure.

"It should be easy if you prefer me Rachel Chou." Antony muttered alone and then stepped away.

Nightfall...

Tonight is the night of Arsen and Rachel's engagement, Arsen who stands in front of the mirror looks so handsome and certainly so handsome with a black suit in his face.

Many times he tried to call Rachel, to ask her for her readiness for their engagement, but none of the calls were answered by her.

"It seems she's very busy preparing herself for the show tonight." Chirps Arsen alone while smiling thinly.

Before long there was a knock on the door, Arsen turned to the door and immediately stepped to open it.

"Auntie." He said when he found Tere who was already standing before him.

"What do you call me?" Tere immediately glared.

"Hehehe well, since it's a happy night, I'll call Aunty." Arsen smiled.

Make Tere immediately snort and smile.

"This is the ring you ordered." Tere immediately gave the box made of black velvet.

Arsen grabbed it and opened it.

"Hows it? Fits your taste, doesn't it?"

"Aunty's taste never disappoints." Arsen was increasingly made to smile while looking at a pair of silver diamond rings.

Hearing the word aunt made Tere again widen his eyes.

"Emm Aunty, yeah I mean Aunty." Arsen again.

"As far as you go!" Tere passed immediately.

"If you're done, come down, your mom and dad are waiting for you." Said Tere again as he continued to walk away.

"Yes, I'll be right down." Replied Arsen who again looked at the ring that was now in his grasp.

All the families seemed ready, they immediately went to the Blue Light Hotel, where the engagement will be held.

But unlike the case with Rachel, at that time she was even still wearing ordinary clothes with the state of her face that was still pale. He sat contemplating in front of the mirror, with his tears occasionally dripping down his cheeks.

A new message came in shortly.

"Remember, there will be many important guests who will attend. So don't you dare break your promise. Otherwise, not only will Arsen and his family be ashamed of me, but your family as well." Fill in the message that Rachel knows if the message is from Laura.

Rachel looked at the message for a moment, but her heart was not willing to let go of Arsen just like that given the long struggle she had gone through.

He turned to the black long dress hanging from the hanger, Arsen's long dress that he should wear at his engagement event and Arsen. Finally Rachel began to sigh a few times, she again looked at her reflection from the mirror which at that time still looked so messy.

"No, I can't lose to a woman so that's the case." Rachel finally started to wipe her tears.

"Tonight I'll tell Arsen everything, I don't care what the response is after that, I have to keep fighting for my love, but anyway, I'm wrong about this." He added again who finally began to rush to get ready.

Now that the time has shown at 20:00 pm, invited guests are increasingly crowded into a spacious ballroom. Shea and Martin appear to be present, but they are present as invited guests due to a request from Rachel who promises to solve her own problems. So too with Mr. Liong and his wife who also do not want to miss want to see his grandson who will be engaged. But even though everyone was present, it seems that there was no sign of Rachel's appearance until Arsen began to fret and restlessly wait for her.

"Calm down, papa told people to pick him up in the apartment." Said Benzie who realized that his son was in a state of anxiety.

"Thank you very much." Arsen smiled softly.

"Look who's coming." Benzie said again while taking Arsen to the place where Martin and Shea were.

"dance, Aunty... Oh, my God, you guys are really present?" Arsen for a moment looked bright.

"How can we not attend if a Benzie Lim invites us in person." Knock Martin.

"Thank God, I'm so impressed." Arsen replied as his eyes were busy glancing around.

"Who are you looking for, Arsen Lim?!" Ask Benzie.

"Rachel, I'm looking for Rachel. Where's she? Is he not coming with you?" Ask plain Arsen.

Hearing this immediately made Shea, Martin, and Benzie look at each other. They were all so upset that they seemed wrong.

"Rachel, Rachel's in..." Shea seemed to have a hard time lying.

"Rachel was so busy, yes, she was so busy she couldn't come. He sends you a greeting." Martin replied.

"Oh, that's how it looks." Somehow Arsen's face turned mellow, there was a bit of sadness when he realized that Rachel had not come.

Antony became one of the important guests who attended considering the two giant companies they have now officially become business partners.

Antony calmly started to approach Arsen.

"Congratulations Arsen Lim, you and Bella are finally getting to a more serious level." Antony extended his hand.

"Thank you, I hope you can be heartened by this reality." Arsen replied, replying to Antony's hand.

"Didn't those words fit you better. Hopefully after this, you can be heartened to accept everything."

"What do you mean?!" Arsen started to frown.

"Nothing, just plain advice." Antony replied with a faint smile and drank a glass of wine that he had held since.

Before long, Laura suddenly approached Arsen, which was quite a surprise to him.

"Ka, you.." said Arsen who immediately rounded his eyes.

"Well, well, I smell the unresolved scents of love here. All right then, I won't bother you guys." Said Antony who immediately left.

"I didn't invite you, how did you get in here?!"

"Arsen Lim, it doesn't matter now." Laura also tried to hold Arsen's hand.

"So your attitude! Please keep that hand away from me." Ketus Arsen who instantly pulled the rough of his hand.

"Arsen Lim, it's not too late if you want to change your mind. That woman, not as good as you think, come back to me. I'm willing to do anything to make amends for you, I still can't forget you, you're the best man my life has ever seen." Laura said.

"Are you sure you want to do anything to make up for everything?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Whatever you want, just say it."

"Well, the only thing you can do to make amends for me is, get out of here, get away from my life and never purposely show yourself in front of me again." Assertive Arsen who really did not have any feelings anymore on Laura.

"Ta, but I...."

"Go from before me!"

"Arsen, you'll regret it. Hold on to these words, you, you're really gonna regret it."

"My only regret is one, which is when I foolishly gave my whole heart to a woman like you. Now go out from before me."

"Look, I'm sure your marriage will be void, and it's not just me who will laugh when that happens. But the man," said Laura, pointing at Antony.

"He will also be the happiest man with it, in business he may be your partner, but in matters of love, will he not be your rival?"

"Stop talking nonsense, my marriage and Bella's gonna go no matter what, so stop hallucinating." Strictly Arsen who then immediately left Laura.

Soon the MCs took to the stage to announce that the ring exchange session was about to begin. Arsen is getting less and less because Rachel hasn't shown up yet.

"How's pa? Is there any word from papa's man?" Arsenic Whispe.

"Calm down, papa told Alex to call him.

Soon the MCs also allowed for the bride and groom to go on stage. Finally Arsen went up on stage hesitantly and kept looking at the entrance.

"Bella, where are you? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Is your future fiancee yet to come, too, young master?" Ask MC.

"Not yet." Answer Arsen slowly.

"But this is past the schedule that young master should have, we've kept the guests waiting too long."

"Wait a minute."

"Alright young master."

Laura who witnessed that from a distance suddenly returned a cynical smile.

"The woman will not dare to come Arsen Lim, for she is nothing more than a deceiver and even a coward." Laura said from the heart.

Benzie and Yuna began to look anxious, as well as Shea and Martin who did not know the news of their children.

"Where is he? Why haven't you come?" Martin's whisper to Shea.

"Let's know, your son has made me dizzy with all the trouble he's making." Shea replied in a whisper.

Namun tak lama, yang di tunggu-tunggu akhirnya muncul, Rachel denga sudah berbalut long dress berwarna hitam dengan langkah tergesa-gesa muncul dari balik keramaian. Hal itu membuat Arsen seketika merasa lega namun sekaligus tercengang saat mendapati calon istrinya yang begitu terlihat cantik dan elegant.

Rachel tried to be calm and finally went on stage, she stood in front of Arsen who was looking at her. Not wanting to waste much more time, the ring exchange session was immediately done, now the two ring fingers between Arsen and Rachel have coiled a ring that makes them more attached to each other. until finally, they officially announced that in two days they will hold a wedding.

Realizing Rachel's presence that night, Laura became so angry and unacceptable. He quickly approached the stage, and boldly shouted at Rachel.

"Based on your impostor Rachel Chou!" Shouted Laura in front of Arsen and Rachel.

It instantly made the atmosphere become quiet and felt so tense.

"Rachel Chou??" Ask Arsen who looks confused.

Not wanting to make things worse, Rachel immediately pulled Arsen's hand to take him backstage.

"There's something I need to talk to you about." Brisper Rachel.

...Seriate......
