Axel caught a glimpse of what it meant that his assumptions had been wrong all along. At first, he thought Axel was an illegitimate grandson or an unwanted grandson but it turned out that a glimpse of the grandfather's story earlier that he was deliberately separated from his family. At least that was enough to make Axel feel relieved.
"They've done this to my grandson and I can't accept it, Bastian."
"Anyway, I don't want to know, you must avenge them! If you don't, I will."
There was silence for a few seconds, Axel heard that but as a new member of the Geraldo family, he was silent even though in his heart there were so many questions.
Who had the heart to separate the grandson of the richest businessman from his family? Isn't it very strange how a wealthy family like the Geraldo's could experience such a thing considering how tightly guarded the house is?
"I'll think about retaliation later. Right now your grandson is here and back. We'd better welcome him."
Luckily, Geraldo was willing to listen to Bastian, his assistant, so they did not discuss the matter anymore. Instead, they interacted with Axel, enjoying the company they had never had before while releasing the longing that had been pent up for decades.
As a grandfather, Geraldo also asked Axel what he liked and disliked as a token of his affection for Axel. The emotion was palpable and even stronger than before. How happy Geraldo was to see his beloved grandson again.
Geraldo couldn't delay the hug anymore, it felt like he couldn't stop longing for his grandson.
It wasn't until Axel realized what he was coming to see Geraldo for that he let go of his grandfather's tight embrace.
"Um, I have something to say," said Axel, still looking awkward.
"What is it?" asked Geraldo, frowning at his old man.
"About the money in the account that Mr. Bastian gave me back then that I used to pay Berry's charges."
"Oh, what do you think, Xel? Just take it, it's all yours and you can use it however you want."
"Thank you," Axel said as he bowed his body in front of Geraldo, so much so that it took him by surprise that his grandfather asked Axel to stand up straight.
"You don't have to take this personally, I'm your grandfather."
"What you have is yours, Xel."
Axel was silent for a moment still, he felt strange that suddenly a stranger considered him a grandson. How could he not feel awkward? Of course, it took time to adjust.
From that day on, Axel returned to his family. Geraldo wouldn't let Axel leave and he asked Axel to stay with him. His new days were about to begin, where he would become the new Axel, no longer the poor and shabby Axel.
Geraldo also asks Bastian to change Axel's appearance to be like Geraldo's grandson until one day his grandfather asks his grandson to attend a wedding party for his grandfather's business relations.
Axel is a little too lazy to attend a fancy party because it must be attended by rich people. Axel will definitely be insulted again but considering his status has now changed and is comparable to them and even higher than them. Who could insult him again?
But he couldn't show his power in front of the crowd yet. He had agreed with Geraldo to hide his true identity for a while because there was a mission they had to complete.
Actually, behind all these reasons, there was one reason that made Axel lazy. That was to meet the two Pancoran clowns who loved to disturb his life. Usually, they would be present at events like this, which Axel disliked the most.
To be honest, he was least prepared to see his ex-wife making out with another man. After all, Elena was his first love so it was hard to forget her.
Even though Elena hurt him deeply, he still hurt when he saw Elena with Almero. He also reminds Axel not to dwell on his past. No matter what kind of woman he wants, Geraldo is sure Axel can get it.
What Axel was worried about was true, he did meet the two couples in front of the hotel entrance. They were quite surprised by Axel's arrival.
"You again... you again," Elena grumbled, looking sarcastically at Axel.
"I wonder, yesterday we met at the elite Morgan Bank and now at the wedding of Mr. Nasution's son. How can a hobo like you hang around fancy places like this?"
"Or maybe he's stalking you on purpose, honey," Almero said sarcastically.
"That's true too."
"Hey, hobo! You must be trying to get my attention, showing me that you can come to fancy places like this so you think I'll come back to you," Elena accused confidently.
Seeing Axel remain silent made Elena even more convinced that her assumption was correct and she wanted to hood Axel even more.
"You don't know yourself! Just so you know, I already have a handsome and rich Almero. There's no way I'm going back to a hobo like you, you know!"
"Anyway, wherever trash is present, it's still trash! It should be thrown in the trash can instead of being kept!"
Almero smirked as he saw Axel's expression, which he thought looked pitying, then took over bullying Axel after Elena was silent. He moved closer to Axel until he was not far away, then said in front of Axel's face.
"I think I have to firmly tell you that Elena was mine a long time ago. If it wasn't for that old man, I wouldn't have given her to you. If you dare to disturb her even a little, I won't hesitate to finish you off like last time. Remember that!"
The second Almero remembered that the voice of a familiar, melodious-sounding girl invaded the hearing senses of the three of them who shouted Axel's name. That girl was none other than Poppy, the beautiful girl who was the manager of Morgan Bank.
The girl was running around a little towards the blunt point. Almero did not even blink at the sight.
"Sorry, I'm late! Have you been waiting long?" Poppy asked further after actually arriving in front of the three people but the question was directed at Axel.
"No, I just arrived too," Axel replied with a faint smile.
"Oh, good."
"You guys," Almero paused unable to remain silent.
Similarly, Poppy turned to look at Almero and Elena in turn. Given that their faces looked familiar to her.
"Aren't you the ones who were at Morghan Bank yesterday?"
Warm greetings to my readers, I'm a beginner writer at Meganovel, don't forget to support my new script, wait for comments and views. Thank you..
But before the couple could answer, Axel answered first."Just ignore the unimportant people like them, let's go in." Poppy nodded and then turned around. Before they had entered the hotel, Axel uttered another scathing sentence. More precisely, he was responding to Almero's sentence which he had not had time to respond to."Oh yeah, you don't have to be scared of me like that because I won't pick back up worthless junk like him." Almero must have been very upset to hear that sentence, his eyes rounded with a flushed face. Elena, who heard that, began to get angry."You can say I'm junk, you're a smelly piece of trash who doesn't know himself!" Hearing Elena's words made Poppy turn to the woman but Axel didn't care. Instead, a faint smile was carved from the corner of Axel's lips, he did it on purpose."That woman has gone too far, it's like she's uneducated.""It's not that she's uneducated, it's that she got her diploma through bribery, don't care." Axel then invited
Poppy could no longer hear what the couple was saying."Are you? I don't know what you guys have to do with my friend, but since I came with him I don't want to see you guys keep bothering him.""And another thing, just so you know, Mr. Axel is a guest of Mr. Nasution. He has a special invitation card," Poppy emphasized. Almero raised his eyebrows while Elena laughed so amused that people looked at her. "Maybe Miss Poppy meant that the garbage man got a special invitation to clean this place." Elena was still laughing but tried to stop her laughter."That's right, he's perfect for cleaning this place!" Almero chimed in, and the pair got together to bully Axel. In response to the commotion, Axel seemed to take it easy. Having just seen Mr. Nasution stepping to the gathering point, Axel put a small smile on the corner of his lips because soon there would be a surprise for all of them. Ronal, who was holding a glass of wine, took a few sips of the drink, and then boldly s
Axel was so satisfied to see Elena and Almero's stupid expressions this time. If they had fainted, it might have been fun but seeing them both embarrassed made Axel very satisfied. Mr. Nasution quickly led Axel to the dining table for his special guests, he invited Axel to sit down and treated him so friendly."I've been looking for you and here you are, come and sit down. This special dining table is for special people like you young man. Not the table you were sitting at earlier.""I don't want to be too conspicuous," Axel replied briefly."Nothing too flashy for a special guest like you young man. Come on, enjoy this meal and eat to your heart's content." With great honor, Mr. Nasution also sat down with Axel and Poppy. It was such a rare sight that people could only gasp and Axel also actually felt uncomfortable getting special treatment from the party's empress but there was no denying that he was also happy about it."You shouldn't have done this to me, it's too much.""
"ARGH!!!" Axel yelled out in a booming voice as his body bounced away and made his stomach cramp. The man clutched his stomach while wincing at the pain. "Is that all the power you have?" The man asked as he gave Axel a dismissive look. Feeling slighted, Axel got back up and started attacking the man again. "Don't talk so much! I'll take you to the police station," he ordered firmly. The man shook his head. "You think I'm scared!" He shouted in a loud voice. He went ahead and kicked Axel's body until he winced in pain while hugging his body. Yes, the man was so good at fighting that Axel felt overwhelmed when it came to boxing on his own. However, Axel didn't give up. He got back to his feet and attacked the man again without caring about the pain that was attacking his body. Furious, Axel then threw a fist right at the man's jaw. He was already getting angry with the man's arrogance and why the man was so hard to beat. It turned out that the man, who did not want to
"You don't have to lie to me! I have proof that my father gave all his wealth to you," she snapped unhappily."What do you mean?" asked Axel, surprised to hear what his wife had said so harshly."I'm sure you're planning to take all of my father's wealth after he dies. Isn't that right? Don't think I don't know your foul plans!" Axel widened his eyes, wondering how Elena could possibly think that. Like a thunderbolt in broad daylight, he really didn't expect his wife to do such a thing to him, leaving Axel speechless as he was taken to the police station. The two policemen asked him a lot of questions but Axel was silent and did not answer them, he kept looking back but Elena did not see his departure at all. Arriving at the police station, Axel came out when the two policemen brought him in and wanted to arrest him. He was interrogated several times but Axel remained silent. There was no strength for him after his wife walked away from him."Why are you silent, stupid
"Can we talk?" continued someone who was none other than the police commissioner at the prison. The police commissioner knew very well that the man in front of him was the most famous lawyer in the country. Who does not know the lawyer Roberto Domino, only the conglomerate class can afford to hire him. Without further ado, Roberto quickly handed a letter to his interlocutor. The look in his eyes was so sharp that he stared at his interlocutor, "You'd better let Axel go right now. Before you get fired from your position.""How presumptuous of you to speak like that! There's no way I'm going to let that man off the hook after all the wrong he's done." The lawyer hit the table and pointed a finger at the Commissioner. "Should I report you for taking a bribe from a man named Almero and charge you for torturing this boy like he committed murder when Almero had minor injuries? Remember the rules of this country!" The words that came out of the famous lawyer's mouth were abl
Bastian leaned over to see Geraldo coming, Yes. The old man was Axel's biological grandfather. "Have a seat, Mr. Geraldo," Bastian said with a friendly smile."Thank you." The old man threw his butt on the sofa."Geraldo?!" muttered Axel softly as he frowned."Yes, I'm your grandfather," he greeted with a happy smile. The old man immediately approached Axel and hugged him tightly, "My poor grandson! I finally found you too. Nothing can separate us as this birthmark helped me to find you." A gentle hug made Axel feel calm as if the burden in his life was just wiped out. "Is this true? I'm the grandson of a conglomerate, it's impossible. They must have misunderstood," he said uncertainly. Initially, Axel thought the blue birthmark was a disease because it was blue, not black or brown, but he often asked the doctor about it, and the doctor still said it was not a disease. "If this birthmark is a family mark then it brings good luck, doesn't it?" he said to himself."Are you
Seeing Axel who was silent, Bastian suddenly commented, "Sorry, we have to go now!" he immediately pulled Axel and took him into the car. Before continuing his journey, Axel asked Bastian to take him to Charles' house to pick up his belongings. "You can go straight home," Axel said glancing at Bastian."Are you sure you don't need my help?" asked Bastian when they arrived in front of Charles' house."No, I just have a few things to do." Axel stepped out of the car and walked into the gate of his in-laws' house. Still remembering well the insults and blasphemy from his wife to him, Axel had not yet reached the main door. The blue-eyed man was surprised to see Almero there."You! What are you doing here?" "I should be the one asking, why are you here, trash man?" Almero looked furious that Axel was now in front of him, the one who was just about to go to the hospital and confirm what Elena had said earlier."I came here to get my stuff," Axel replied casually."Do you think y
