Gordon took Wyne to chat in the back garden of the man's luxurious house, then they sat relaxing in the hut, while Bella was taken by Dolce to the playground area not far from the hut. The playground was where little Ricardo played after school.
Then on a long table with four short legs, drinks and snacks were served, because the chef was still preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Wyne expanded his view of the Park and its surroundings. His memory was remembered when she was little, she often came here to accompany Carter and Kate to visit Gordon and Rose, Gordon's wife. If she was tired, she would read a book next to his grandfather, heal in the park, and sometimes sit on a comfortable rattan swing.
At that time, Ricardo must have been teasing her, wanting to chat with her or play in the play area there. Making her upset because Ricardo disturbed his pleasure in reading books.
Remembering all that, she smiled a little, because being teased by Ricardo was fun, even though she was annoyed with Gordon's grandson.
"Wyn-"
Gordon reprimanded Wyne, who had been smiling while looking around the garden.
"Wyne!" Grandpa touched Wyne's arm a little because she didn't respond to being called.
Wyne was shocked and immediately looked at the old man.
"Oh, my gosh!" she exclaimed in relief, "Yes, Opa?"
Gordon smiled amusedly, "Hey, have you been daydreaming all this time?" he chuckled, "Remember Rick who used to tease you in this park?"
Wyne gasped, "No, Opa," he replied, "Oh yeah, Opa," the subject changed, "Has the Elmer Group decided who will be the director of research?" Gordon looked at her, who seemed to be smiling because his face was a little red with embarrassment.
"Not yet, Wyn," the grandfather shook his head, "Opa is waiting for you." Pointing at Wyne.
"What do you mean, Opa?" Wyne was surprised, not understanding what Grandpa meant.
"A dissertation resume from one of the candidates," Gordon looked at Wyne, "And a research design, apparently yours."
Wyne was shocked, then sighed, "Opa knew that." She sighed because his dissertation and market research design were what led to Arifin being given the position of marketing research director at Elmer Group.
But apparently, Gordon knew it was made by her. Of course, he knew because the style of language was typical of Wyne, then Kate's granddaughter often discussed with him about the research system and others.
"What did you do that for, my granddaughter?" Gordon eyed Wyne, "So he could graduate c** loud and become the director of marketing research at the Elmer Group?"
Wyne sighed, unable to answer because it turned out Gordon was watching Arifin.
"Opa knows," Gordon spoke again, "You love him so much, that you even fixed his academic record and sent him to Dallas University in England, so he could continue his Masters there. Then you secretly helped him write a dissertation so that he would pass c** loud, then made a precise market research design in his application letter to Elmer Group." Everything Wyne did to raise Arifin's status was revealed, so that the man and the man's mother could live prosperously. "You know his intelligence is ordinary, why should you manipulate him for the sake of him and his mother living prosperously? He has to achieve it with his abilities."
Wyne sighed, and Gordon reprimanded him sternly.
"Now-" Gordon continued, "He became arrogant, belittled you and dumped you." Being told the fruits of Wyne's labor only made Arifin arrogant, insulted, and dumped Kate's granddaughter.
Wyne sighed again, Gordon was right, everything she did for Arifin was in vain. Although it was true that Arifin studied hard, he would not reach the level of c** loud when he graduated. Nor would he be able to create a brilliant market research design.
Did Arifin know everything that was done? No, because at that time Wyne suggested that Arifin discuss via phone with Wyne Wilson to make a dissertation, and then the CEO promised to make it for him. He knew it was done.
Likewise, when he was about to apply to Elmer Group, Arifin asked for help in designing a market research plan that could make Elmer Group choose him as the director of marketing research. Arifin was even guided by Wyne when conducting a series of tests for the position.
"Enough-" Gordon sighed, "Opa close the case of you being so brave to help Dallas University students cheat to get the title of c** loud." He said. "Opa also kept it from Rick, so he wouldn't blame you."
"Thank you, Opa."
"But Opa will teach Arifin a lesson and you can't stop Opa."
"Please do that Opa, Wyn hopes so, because Wyn came to Opa to ask for help with that."
"Good!" Gordon ruffled Wyne's head a little while smiling, "Next time, no matter how much you love your partner, don't cheat again. Talk to him about trying with his abilities. If he fails, encourage him to get up, so he will correct his mistakes and move forward with a new mission."
"Okay, Opa." Wyne understood and hugged Gordon for a moment, "Thank you for everything, Opa. Thank you for always guiding and taking care of Wyn and Oma after Opa passed away."
"You're welcome-" Gordon smiled, "Carter is more than a friend, he's Grandpa's little brother because he's two years younger than Grandpa. And actually, his mother is Grandpa's father's biological sister."
"Eh?" Wyne was surprised, "Great-grandmother is Great-grandfather's biological sister?"
Gordon nodded, "Louisa Elmer eloped with Henri Wilson who at that time pretended to be a cleaning service at the Wilson Group. Then after your grandfather and Opa were born, Henri opened up. That's why your grandfather and Opa's relationship was very good."
"Does Oma know about this?"
"Yup, she knows, but she doesn't reveal it for the safety of both families. You know very well that the life of a billionaire has many enemies."
"I see."

Ricardo got out of his jeep that had stopped in front of Gordon's grand house. He decided to go home after talking with Kate and accompanying the grandmother to review the goods at Pelabuhan Ratu. Even though it was already evening, he had to walk to Sempol Ayam.
As he was about to leave the car, his eyes saw Gordon and Martin escorting Wyne, Bella, Sahid, and Dolce to a metallic black Jaguar.
"Wina? Bella?" He looked at the two women, "Why are they in this house? So, when did Opa come back from LA? Why didn't Martin tell Matt?"
He quickened his pace wanting to get all the answers, but Wyne and her entourage had already gotten into the car and sped away leaving Gordon. The car passed him and Matt, but Bella saw the CEO. The child looked happy, waving his hand calling Gordon's grandson.
Ricardo was shocked to see Bella, he was about to chase the car but Gordon's voice called him.
"Ricardo-!"
The CEO was forced to approach his grandfather, kiss his hand, and then...
"Opa-" the Grandpa reprimanded, "The one who just left." Pointing to where Wyne's car had left Grandpa, "A guest, Opa?"
"Guest you say?" Gordon was surprised, "Wyne, Kate's granddaughter, is she a guest in this house?" He said Wyne was not a guest, "She's Opa's granddaughter, Rick"
"Wyne Wilson, Opa?!" Ricardo was shocked, then confused. Was it true that what he saw was Wyne, Kate's granddaughter, not Wina David?
"That woman-"
Ricardo spoke to himself with a confused face, "Wyne, Oma Kate's granddaughter?" Still not believing what Gordon said, "Why is she exactly like Wina?" Feeling that what she saw was similar to Wina.
Gordon was stunned to hear his grandson talking to himself, he patted his grandson's shoulder.
"Hey, hey-!" He said while waving one palm in front of the CEO's eyes, "Rick! Hey, this is Opa, my grandson!" He allowed himself when Ricardo looked at him. "Your Grandpa, Gordon Elmer."
"Hello, Opa!" Ricardo shrugged his shoulders a little, "Rick knows Opa is Rick's Grandpa, named Gordon Elmer." He replied while looking at the grandpa who was as silly as him with amusement.
"Then why are you babbling on your own?" Gordon observed Ricardo seriously, afraid that something had happened to his grandson.
