Bram's breath caught when he saw the person who turned out to be the man who had harassed Briel. Bram clenched his fists. He wanted to curse that man right now.
"Ahem! This meeting has been postponed for another hour," said Bram.
"What?" said everyone in the meeting room.
"I hope you all understand this and come back in an hour!" said Bram and left the meeting room.
One of his clients rushed over to Bram. There seems to be something wrong with Bram, he thought.
"Mr. Bram!"
Bram stopped his steps, then turned to look at the person.
"Yes, what's wrong, Mr. Handoko?" said Bram.
Yes, the man's name is Handoko Tjandra. He is one of Bram's clients who live in Bandung. Bram also came to Bandung because there was a meeting to discuss work problems with Handoko and several other clients.
"What's the matter, sir? Why do you look angry after seeing my son enter the meeting room?" asked Handoko.
Bram frowned. He didn't understand what Handoko meant.
"Your son? What does that mean? Who is your son?" asked Bram.
"Yes, Erland. The last person to enter the meeting room was my son," said Handoko.
Bram was flabbergasted. He rushed to Handoko.
"No kidding, please!" said Bram in disbelief.
"I am telling the truth. That man, his name is Erlando Adiputra Tjandra. He is my only son," said Handoko.
Yes, Erlando Adiputra Tjandra, a 25-year-old man. He has an Asian face, handsome and tall. He is the son of Handoko Candra and currently serves as a director at Handoko's company in the Jakarta Pusat area.
Bram was flabbergasted again. He clenched his fists. The world is so small that even the bastard who had abused Briel turned out to be the son of his client.
"Can't you teach your son properly, ha?" asked Bram. His voice was furious.
Handoko frowned. He didn't understand what Bram meant. He didn't even know that Bram and Erlando, or the man who was usually called Erland, had met. This is because this is the first time that Handoko has brought Erland to an important meeting to discuss work issues.
"Daddy!"
Bram and Handoko looked in the direction of the voice. Seen at the door of the meeting room, Erland was standing with a tense face but he was trying to remain calm. He's innocent, that's what's on his mind. He had even been harmed. Because in addition to losing a lot, he also received a beating from Briel's bodyguard. Meanwhile, he didn't get what he wanted.
Erland approached Bram and Handoko.
"How dare you show your face!" Bram growled as he grabbed the collar of the shirt Erland was wearing.
Handoko panicked. He doesn't know what his son did to make Bram look angry like that. Handoko quickly intervened in the incident before his. He pulled Bram away from Erland.
"Calm down, sir. what exactly happened?" asked Handoko.
"Dad!" said Briel and the attention of the three men turned to Briel.
Briel, who saw Erland from a distance, was also flabbergasted. She quickly removed her wedges.
"Damn it!" Erland grimaced while holding his head after the wedges Briel threw hit his face. Even his nose.
Briel rushed to Erland. She pushed Erland's body.
"You bastard! You enjoy my body, and just walk away!" shouted Briel.
Bram was flabbergasted. No, don't let what Briel says to be heard by others. It was a family disgrace and he didn't want the public to know about it. Moreover, the media will quickly spread rumors that are not yet clear.
Bram pulled Briel so as not to keep hitting Erland.
"I will punish him, Dad. Daddy doesn't know what I went through last night. He forced me to do despicable deeds, he even--"
Briel's body shook. She remembered the incident last night where Erland forced her to take off her bathrobe, then forced her to do Erland's will. However, after that Briel didn't remember anything. Her don't know what Erland has done, but Briel is very afraid if Erland takes her virginity, and what about her future?
Briel sobbed hugging Bram. She couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
"I'm afraid he's evil," said Briel.
Everyone was shocked when Handoko slapped Erland in the face. Erland grimaced, he held his face.
"Bastard! What are you doing?" Handoko growled.
"You Don't know anything, Dad. Daddy can't blame me. Here, I'm innocent. I paid this woman last night," said Erland.
Bram was flabbergasted. What did Erland say? There was no way Briel would sell her body.
Briel was no less surprised. She looked at Erland sharply.
"I never sold my body! Don't talk nonsense!" shouted Briel.
Erland laughed. He took Briel's hand.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I spent a lot of my money just to pay you! Don't deny it! Don't pretend to be innocent here!" Erland said.
Briel sobbed. This is bad luck. Erland cornered her. Briel didn't even feel like she had received money from him.
Briel slapped Erland in the face, making Erland growl. Erland was about to approach Briel but was stopped when he heard Handoko's scream.
"Enough! Marry this girl, Erland!" said Handoko.
"What?" Erland was flabbergasted. Marrying that rude girl? His don't know what possessed Handoko.
"Will never!" Erland said firmly and moved away from the three people.
"If you don't want to take responsibility, Daddy will cross your name from the family register, and don't expect you to get a penny from Daddy's inheritance!" shouted Handoko.
Erland stopped in his tracks. A threat that was too frightening for Erland and he didn't want that to happen.
"From now on, never come back home! Take off all your clothes right now!" said Handoko.
Erland was flabbergasted. Then he turned and approached Handoko.
"What do you mean Dad? Do you want to embarrass me?" asked Erland in shock and disbelief at the same time his father asked him to undress in public.
"Why? All your clothes were bought with Daddy's money! Don't forget that! And starting today, you will not get any perks, neither will Daddy's money!" said Handoko.
"Damn it!" Erland rubbed his face. Did he have to be a bum now? It was clear that Handoko didn't seem to be playing around with his threats.
Erland looked at Briel who was still crying. He was sick of seeing Briel's sad face. Erland felt certain that Briel was taking advantage of the current situation.
"Go away from here!" shouted Handoko.
"Yes, I will marry her!" shouted Erland.
Briel who was still crying then wiped her tears. Should she be happy that Erland wants to be in charge? But, why did she feel like she didn't want to marry an impudent man like Erland? However, on the other hand, Briel felt that she had no other choice. She was dizzy because of Erland.
