KNEELING FOR WEALTH

"Michael, is it really you that I saw on TV?"

Adelle had been waiting for Michael's return for hours. She really wanted to confirm the news she saw on TV, which was about the appointment of an heir named Rafael Zyailendra.

"Yes, it's me, Adelle."

And the sentence spoken by Michael had answered all of Adelle's questions.

Yes, Michael was Rafael Zyailendra. The sole heir of the Zyailendra family, whose wealth was known to many people.

"What is this, Michael? Have you been lying to me all this time?"

However, on the other hand, Adelle felt very disappointed with Michael. Because her husband had kept his identity a secret all this time.

"I'm sorry, Adelle. I did all this because I have a purpose. But one thing you need to know, I love you very much."

Michael tried to convince Adelle that what he did all this time was not to deceive her.

"But you have disappointed me, Michael. I didn't expect you to keep all the secrets about your wealth and let yourself be insulted by my family. I'm disappointed, disappointed that you chose to be silent all this time and hide everything."

Michael immediately took Adelle into his arms as his wife appeared to be crying.

"That's not a big deal. As I said, I did all this for a reason and you've been with me all this time. Stop crying, because I will take you to a better life after this, Adelle."

Upon hearing Michael's words, Adelle immediately released herself from his embrace.

"Are we going to leave this house?"

Michael nodded his head.

"Yes, we will leave this house as soon as possible, Adelle."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door, which surprised Adelle and Michael.

"Who could be coming here at this hour?"

Adelle felt puzzled, because it was already quite late, but someone seemed to want to visit.

"Try opening the door first, Adelle. Perhaps there's someone who wants to convey something important to us."

"Okay, I'll open the door first."

Adelle decided to open the door and see who was coming to her house now.

"Adelle, where is your husband?"

And as soon as the door opened, the people of Alexander, Aldebaran, Kania, and Alexa were already standing in front of the door.

"Dad, what's going on? Why are you looking for Michael?"

Adelle never thought that her family could come to his humble home, at a time like this.

"Just tell me where Michael is now. I want to meet him now, Adelle."

Aldebaran insisted on meeting Michael.

"Michael is inside, he just came home. Please come in."

And finally, Adelle allowed his family to meet his husband now.

Michael had expected that Aldebaran and Alexander would come to meet him, after what had happened. And now, he just waited for Alexander to kneel in front of him.

"Michael, is it true what you said in the news, that you are the grandson of Gracia?"

The question was directed straight to Michael, from Aldebaran.

"Why do you ask that, Dad? Since when do you care about my origin?"

Michael smiled at Aldebaran. His father-in-law had never asked about his origin before, but after one year of his marriage, he just asked about it.

"Just answer my question, Michael. Is it true that you are the grandson of Gracia?"

Aldebaran didn't care about his pride and ego now, because he wanted to ensure Michael's status as Gracia's grandson.

"I am the grandson of Gracia and the sole heir to the Zyailendra family."

Everyone was stunned after hearing Michael's confession directly.

"I beg you, Michael. Please save my company."

Suddenly, Alexander kneeled in front of Michael, then pleaded to him.

Michael stepped back right away.

"Why are you asking for my help, Alexander? I'm not rich and only a poor man, as you have said to me all this time."

That sentence came out of his mouth, of course, to taunt Alexander.

"I apologize for all the mistakes I've made to you all this time, Michael. But now, I really need your help because I'm in big trouble now."

Alexander pleaded for Michael's help again. He looked very desperate now.

"Yes, Michael. Please help my husband, his company is in big trouble now."

Alexa also knelt in front of Michael, with tears streaming down her face.

Currently, selfish and arrogant traits are not visible on the faces of Alexa and Alexander. They are kneeling in front of Michael to save their biggest asset.

"Why don't you ask for help from Aldebaran? He might be able to assist you with his connections," Michael said, looking towards Aldebaran who stood not far from him.

"My friends cannot help Alexander. They all refuse, afraid of getting into trouble. I beg you, Michael, help my brother," Aldebaran pleaded with Michael.

In Michael's heart, he wanted to laugh. He never thought that the Adelle family, who never appreciated him, would come to him and ask for his help. Despite their past treatment, they were acting as if Michael was part of their family.

"I implore you, Michael. Ask your grandmother, Gracia, to help Alexander. I am sure her influence can save him," Aldebaran pleaded again, mentioning Gracia's name.

Without needing to be told, Michael knew that Gracia had a significant influence in the oil and coal business in the country. His grandmother was even on good terms with the government and the law for every issue related to company licensing.

"Alright, I will help Alexander, but I have a condition that must be fulfilled," Michael agreed to Aldebaran's request. However, he proposed a condition that Alexander must meet.

"What do you want, Michael?" Alexander asked, looking at Michael.

Michael smiled, glanced at his wife Adelle, and then looked back at Alexander and Alexa, who were still kneeling in front of him.

"I want a 50% stake in your oil company after I successfully help you, Alexander."
