Herman smiled in satisfaction hearing Ivan's report that Wyne was fired from the Scoot family. He spread his eyes at the Scoot Clinic.
"Hahaha!" then his laughter was heard, "Feel it, you country woman!" Wyne cursed, "You became poor because you were fired from the Scoot family!" he felt that his wife became poor because she had been kicked out of the Scoot family.
Ivan next to the boss sighed, feeling that his boss was too complacent. Wyne was no longer recognized as a child by David, meaning she was only out of the man's life. Then, he knew that Wyne was Carter and Kate's favorite granddaughter, so even though she was removed from David's life, the mistress was still the Scoot family. So, it was certain that the young mistress was still a billionaire.
Herman stopped laughing, took the frame containing the intimate photo of him and Susan from his desk, and looked at it with a smiling face.
"Darling-" her lover called out, "Your bastard sister has been fired from the Scoot family," being told what happened, "Then in the future, you will be the sole heir to all the Scoot family wealth. You will no longer be considered a concubine's child."
Hearing this, Ivan sighed again, feeling that the boss did not understand the situation in the Scoot family. Since Ratna's tragic death, Carter split the Scoot family into two. The first family consisted of the man, Kate, and Wyne. The second family consisted of David, Imelda, and Susan.
Then, Carter gave the position of CEO of Scoot Group Jakarta and a luxury house in Depok to David as compensation for the split of the Scoot family. But unfortunately, Scoot Group Jakarta still belongs to Carter. David only gets a monthly salary. So it can be concluded, David only has assets, namely a monthly salary and a house.
Then, after Carter died, Kate immediately appointed Wyne as the sole heir to all of the Scoot family's wealth, namely the Scoot Group, all the luxury homes, penthouses, foundations, and others. All of this was in Carter's will because the man knew that Imelda had the ambition to control all of the Scoot family's wealth.
So the conclusion is, in the future, Susan will only inherit David's assets in the form of a house and his monthly salary, not all of the Scott family's wealth.
Herman put the picture frame in his hand back on the table, then turned his gaze to Ivan.
"Ivan!" he said, "Get the car ready." The order came down, "I want to go shopping for Susan."
"Excuse me, sir." Ivan sighed, "You should go see Mrs. Wyne."
"Why meet that damn woman?" Herman looked at Ivan with an annoyed look, "Is it to persuade her who was fired from the Scoot family, then say she is Elmer's family?"
"Sir, you haven't given the black card containing one hundred million dollars to Madam, have you?"
Tuing, Herman gasped, then remembered Gordon came and asked him to give a black card in Wyne's name to his wife, so he didn't have to send monthly money. Then the grandfather said, he must buy all Wyne's needs, including a house and a car. He was forced to agree.
Bang!
He slammed the surface of the table hard with an angry face.
"Damn it!" he exclaimed loudly, extremely annoyed that Gordon had ordered him to provide for Wyne in luxury.
Ivan smiled thinly, what Gordon did was normal, because Herman was Wyne's husband.
"You-" Herman turned his gaze to Ivan, "You give all of that to Wyne." He said, deciding to send Ivan, "I want to visit my beautiful lover in prison. She is more important than that jerk."
"Sorry, sir, you can't visit Miss Susan."
"Why?"
"You are Mrs. Wyne's husband, and are watched over by Mr. Gordon."
***
Plak!
A hard slap landed on David's face, a gift from Kate. Then the old lady looked angrily at her son.
"You-!" the mistress's voice was also heard, "What kind of father, hmm?" then asked the child who was looking down after being slapped, "You think your child is only Susan, hmm? So that you can tell Mama to kick Wyn out of the Scoot family?"
David was determined to meet Kate, wanting to prove to Wyne that he could make Kate remove Wyne from the Scoot family. But what he got was his mother's anger.
David took a deep breath, slowly mustering the courage to look at the mother standing in front of him.
"Ma-" he was also reprimanded, "Wyn was rude to David."
"God damn it?" Kate glanced sarcastically at her son.
"That's right, Ma." David nodded his head, "She doesn't want to give in to Susan at all. Even though Susan is her sister and loves her very much."
Hearing this, Kate's face broke into a sinister smile.
"Susan loves Wyn? That's funny, David."
"Ma, this is reality."
"The truth you say?" Kate stared at David sarcastically, "Susan never loved Wyn, because she didn't consider Wyn as her real sister. She always bullied Wyn. Even making you only love her."
Gulp, David swallowed his saliva, feeling shocked by his mother's words.
"That's enough!" Kate sighed, then sat on the single sofa, one leg crossed over the thigh, "David, since Ratna died-" she continued while looking at David, "Your father took Wyne, you never considered Wyne your child anymore." Reminded of past events, "So if you dismiss Wyn as your daughter, it's useless, right?"
"But Mama has to get her out of the Scoot family, so it won't be in vain."
"Oh, Mama won't do that, because Wyn is Mama and the late Papa's favorite biological granddaughter."
"Mama, she is so rude. Even at a party, she dares to embarrass us."
"Us? Susan maybe."
Dhuar, David was shocked, then took a deep breath.
"Never mind!" Kate smiled sarcastically, "Mama's decision remains, Wyn is Scoot's family." She said, confirming Wyne's status in Scoot's family, "And Mama agrees, she is no longer your child." She added.
David was about to retort to that decision, but his mother raised her hand in the air, telling him to be quiet.
"Tristan!" Kate called out to Tristan who was standing by behind the door of the study.
Not long after the assistant entered, he brought a file folder. He approached Kate.
"Madam." He politely greeted her while placing the folder on the table in front of the lady.
"Thank you, Tristan." Kate thanked him, "You stay here." Asked by the assistant not to leave, then turned to David, "David!" reprimanded the son who remained standing, "Look at the contents of the documents in this folder." She took the folder from the table and gave it to his son.
David sighed, following his mother's instructions, and not long after, his eyes widened, then quickly turned to his mother who was enjoying her cigarette leisurely.
"Mama-" the old lady rebuked, "What is the meaning of all this?" he asked, pointing to the document in his hand.
"Mama fires you from the Scoot family-" Kate looked at her son with a calm face, "Starting today, you, Imelda, and Susan, are not allowed to use the name Scoot after your names." She said firmly.
"Why is that, Ma?"
"Because you dumped Wyne since your legal wife Ratna died tragically, right?"
David was shocked, then, "Did Wyn ask Mama to do all this?"
"No." Kate answered shortly, "Tristan!" Tristan called, "Show me the CCTV footage of David and Wyne's meeting at the Scoot Clinic."
"Yes, ma'am." Tristan understood, took three steps back, then turned around, walked towards the LED television, installed a chip into the slot under the screen, and then turned on the television.
Not long after, the screen showed the CCTV footage in Wyne's room showing David and the lady's meeting. It was seen there, that David forced Kate's beloved granddaughter to give in to Susan.
Seeing the recording, David's body felt weak. How could his mother get the video? Of course, it could be because Scoot Clinic was built by Carter, Kate's husband. Then Wyne was under the full protection of Carter and Kate.
"What-" As soon as the recording was finished, David spoke to Kate, "Was Wyn the one who gave you this recording?" He suspected Wyne had told Kate.
"No." Kate smiled faintly, "Did you forget that Wyne was under the protection of Mama and the late Papa?" then asked her son, "Then, the Scoot Clinic was built by the late Papa for Wyn, so a secret CCTV was installed there to protect her from people like you."
Dhuar, David was like being hit by Quwait's nuclear bomb. He thought that after releasing Wyne to Carter and Kate, the child would only be taken care of normally like he took care of Susan. It turned out... His right hand clenched his fingers tightly, holding back his anger, because everything Wyne said was true. He was kicked out by Kate from the Scoot family, and even forbidden from using the name Scoot after his name.
If he is no longer a Scoot family, how will he face clients, directors, and staff at Scoot Group Jakarta? And what will happen to Susan? Susan will surely be a laughing stock again because her father was fired from the Scoot family.
Kate put out the cigarette in the ashtray, crossed her arms over her chest, and smiled sarcastically at her son's shock.
***
On the front porch of Wyne's room, the woman sat alone. Now and then her sighs could be heard, because Sahid gave the latest report that Kate fired David from the Scoot family. Even the grandmother forbade David, Imelda, and Susan, from using the name Scoot behind the names of the three humans.
Thoughts start to go back to the past...
Wyne screamed in the grip of two servants because she saw his mother Ratna declared dead after being immersed in pool water containing high amounts of chlorine.
Then, she saw David's feet kicking Ratna's body with a cruel face. Then there were Imelda and Susan who smiled with satisfaction seeing Ratna die.
Wyne's tears flowed, and the mother who was so kind and sincere as a wife, was cruelly killed by David because she was caught having a hot bed with Daus the gardener. What was the father made of that could kill his legal wife in front of her and everyone in his father's house?
Imelda turned half her body and looked at Wyne with a fierce gaze.
"David!" the woman scolded David, "What about this one?" then pointed at Wyne as her husband looked at her. "I have a feeling this child will be as naughty as her mother."
Wyne, who was only 7 years old at the time, did not understand her stepmother's words, she just stared at her mother in confusion. Her tears were still flowing.
David slowly approached Wyne, then with one hand tightly gripped the child's cheeks.
"Bring that drink here!" he shouted with a fierce look.
Imelda smiled, immediately approached Bik Sumi who was holding a tray containing an ancient ceramic teapot, took the teapot, and then approached her husband.
"David-" her husband reprimanded her, "You open this child's mouth-" the man ordered her to open Wyne's mouth, "So I can force her to drink something that will make her join her mother in hell."
Wyne's eyes widened as he shook his head, feeling that the drink was deadly poison. David immediately opened Wyne's mouth wide with his other hand, and then Imelda poured the contents of the jug into his mouth. Wyne fought back by spitting out every water that went in, but his cheeks were squeezed tightly by his father, so she wouldn't fight back.
Back to Wyne, she sighed again. She didn't expect that his father loved Imelda so much, a prostitute from a night club in Kota, West Jakarta, making his father have the heart to kill Ratna, and her.
"Mama-" now she called Ratna, "Your revenge is starting to be avenged."
