Hearing Aaron's words, Devan was stunned. Right, what Aaron said is true.
"Okay, I'm leaving tonight," he said accepting the man's offer.
Aaron just nodded.
An hour later, Devan had already left for Indonesia. After the man left, Aaron returned to his room.
The night was getting late, his eyes never felt sleepiness and keep him awake. His thoughts never left his nephew. He was very worried about her.
Even though Devan says he will overcome everything before marrying Claire, he is sure that it will not be as simple as it seems. Moreover, the man was not a random person.
Doing little things, let alone canceling his marriage after almost all the media reported it today is not something good for his career and image.
A sigh could be heard from between Aaron's lips. It turns out that his nephew's love problems are so complicated. He wanted to help Devan but didn't know what to do, not to mention he didn't have any right to interfere in the man's business.
All he could do now was wait to hear from him.
Aaron lay down on the bed, checked his cellphone once again, the man re-opened the link he sent to Devan a few moments ago.
"Eh?" As soon as Aaron rose from his position, the news disappeared without a trace.
Searched for keywords about the news, but couldn't find it.
'Devan Atmadja's power is unquestionable,' thought Aaron.
Yes, it's true, before Devan just saw the news, the man immediately contacted his people in Indonesia to take down all the news about his marriage that had spread widely today. He didn't even hesitate to threaten anyone who spread the news about him to anyone.
And because of that, in a matter of minutes, all the news about his marriage to Byanca was now gone without a trace. It's as if it didn't exist before. And this raises a lot of questions and public opinion pops up everywhere.
Aaron would see how the man would face such a big problem to fight for Claire. Problems that will affect the company they lead.
While on the other hand, Claire who had been sleeping soundly suddenly woke up. She was very thirsty, fortunately, the Maid had provided a bottle of drinking water for her in the room, so she didn't have to bother going to the kitchen just to quench her thirst.
After drinking, the drowsiness disappeared. Reaching for her cell phone, she saw a lot of incoming messages and they were from the same person.
Reading one by one the messages from Devan, Claire took a deep breath. Even though the man said goodbye, for some reason he felt a little emptiness.
Devan didn't say the reason why he suddenly left for Indonesia without seeing her first, and that made Claire feel a little disappointed.
'Did Uncle Aaron say anything to him?' Claire thought. It seemed he had to ask the man this matter directly.

The next day.
Right now, Aaron, Claire, and Dave were having breakfast together. The boy seemed to be looking left and right as if looking for something.
"Mom, where's Daddy?" he asked.
"Ah? Daddy? He..." Claire's words trailed off, her eyes darting to where Aaron was.
"Daddy's out, honey. He has something to attend to, and probably won't be coming for a few days or a few weeks," Aaron replied immediately as if he knew the meaning of his niece's gaze.
"But he didn't say anything to me yesterday," sighed Dave, seeming to feel the same disappointment as his mother. Because his father suddenly disappeared without saying anything to him.
"Did Daddy tell you something Mom?" he asked again turning to Claire who was sitting next to him.
"Daddy is busy, honey. He'll come back later, trust me," Claire replied while stroking her son's head with a very gentle motion.
"Now finish your breakfast, then get ready, soon your private tutor will come," said Aaron to his grandson.
Today is Dave's first day studying after arriving in Australia. Aaron has hired several private tutors for his grandson. With his age and intelligence, it felt like a waste if only he or Claire taught him. And this has been through Claire's approval.
"Okay, Granpa," Dave nodded and started eating his breakfast.
Seeing that, Claire smiled.
"You too, finish your food. Don't think about that man, just wait here," said Aaron turning his gaze towards Claire.
"Last night, did Uncle throw him out?" the woman asked as if she didn't care what her Uncle had just said.
"No, he left willingly," Aaron replied starting to eat his breakfast.
"Is that true?" Claire narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
Feeling his nephew's gaze, Aaron took a deep breath. "Is it possible if I kick him out and then give him the Smiths' private jet?"
"You can, Uncle. I don't know what you guys were talking about last night until he came back to Indonesia without seeing me first," Claire said, propping her chin with both hands on the table.
"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. It's breakfast time, Claire. Eat it," Aaron said continuing his breakfast without lifting his gaze.
Hearing that, Claire didn't respond anymore. With a sullen face, the woman began to eat the food that was served in front of her.

Indonesian country

Devan just arrived at his house. Not finding anyone in the house allowed him to move freely.
He wouldn't ask where Byanca had gone, or what she was doing and with whom. Devan didn't care at all.
After he finished his bath and filled his stomach with some food, he didn't delay any longer and got ready, he wanted to visit the Atmadja family's residence today.
He reached into his trouser pocket and called Hendra. Asked the middle-aged man to see him immediately.
Only a few minutes later, Hendra entered the house.
"Prepare the car, take me to Atmadja's residence," Devan said the middle-aged man.
"Yes sir."
"Ah wait, has something happened lately? I mean when I wasn't around?" asked Devan stopping Hendra.
"Nothing, sir. Everything went as usual," answered Hendra.
Devan was silent hearing this, suddenly he remembered everything Leo had said to him.
"Do you know anything about the CCTV footage Leo copied?" he asked. I don't know, he was also confused about why he suddenly asked Hendra this, even though he already knew that even if Hendra knew, it wouldn't change anything because all the evidence had been lost.
"Never mind, forget it," said Devan again, making Hendra who wanted to speak again silent.
