The sentencing hearing for three of Darmawan's men has just been completed. One man who was arrested Zack , sentenced to six years in prison. The judge found him guilty, although he did not know anything about the plot. He was only asked to supervise Dee's residence and report to Darmawan when Ardhani Dee left the house.
Two others were sentenced to eighteen years in prison. They were in charge of trailing Ardhani's car and when the car had an accident, they removed the evidence in the form of remnants of explosives installed on the front wheel of the car. Because of that , the police had decided it was a single accident due to the front wheel that erupted.
One man who planted explosives is now a fugitive. No one knows, that the man was dumped by Mark in the middle of the mountains with extreme weather abroad.
Anggara heard all of Damar's reports about the sentencing hearing today. He did not want to come, but later when the time comes for the verdict trial Darmawan and Rachel he will come. Anggara will witness for himself with his eyes, how destroyed the lives of the two people.
"Supervise those three people. If they accept the judge's verdict, release them. But if they try to appeal, destroy even more ruined." Aggara thought , the six and eighteen year sentences were quite satisfactory.
"Good, Sir." As usual, Damar just nodded obediently.
"And Mark just reported about Mr. Dee's close relatives who today gathered the Board of Directors."
Anggara. "Close relatives?"
"Fatah Gunawan's. The husband of Melani Rahardja."
Ah Anggara remembers, Melani was a cousin of her late father-in-law. They had met during her wedding reception with Andreea at the title.
Anggara tapped his index finger on his desk. "Seek Mark to keep an eye on. Find out what he's talking about to get all the directors together."
"Good, Sir."
"What time is Darmawan and Rachel's sentencing?"
"There's still two hours left before the trial starts, sir."
Anggara nodded and gestured to ask Damar to come out. He picked up his phone and called Andreea.
"Darling, what time is your lecture?"
"Just finished. I'll go straight home with Shara."
"Darling, listen to me. What year are you this?"
"Vonisional hearing?"
"hum. Three people have been sentenced. For Darmawan and Rachel the trial will start in two hours. Wanna come?" Anggara looks cautious. After all, about Rachel and Darmawan would still leave an uneasy feeling when Andreea heard their names.
"Can you?"
"Even if you want to, I can make them kneel at your feet, baby."
There was Andreea's loud noise across the street. Anggara can breathe a sigh of relief, at least his wife can already control him.
"I'll have Uncle Heri drive you to the office."
Anggara immediately hung up after hearing Andreea's approval, he then contacted Heri to take Andreea to the office after driving Shara home.

Andreea looked hesitant as the elevator doors opened. I don't know what he was thinking until he quickly stepped his foot.
Anshara who had entered the elevator first, came back to Andreea.
"You doubt? Want to go home?"
"Just go home?" Andreea was really worried. Anshara's offer to go home, it doesn't seem bad.
"Yes already, come on." Anshara had already wanted to pull Andreea's arm but the girl was unmoved.
"No. I'm doing fine. Yeah, right? I'm gonna be okay, right?"
"What are you afraid of? You forgot to have a very fierce dog?" Anshara immediately pulled Andreea's hand into the elevator.
Anggara frowned when he saw the door of his room open but not only Andreea there. There was also Anshara who immediately dropped her ass on the existing sofa.
"Why are you here?" Anggara stared probing at his sister.
"In company with Reea."
"Sad. You always stick to my wife. We're going to court, not the streets."
"He's my brother-in-law, of course I should always be by his side."
Anggara did not reply again, he immediately asked Raisa to order their lunch.
While Anshara and Andreea were enjoying their meal, Damar approached Anggara.
"Fatah Gunawan gathered all the directors to discuss the possibility of removing you from the position of President Director." Damar whispered so softly that only Anggara could hear his voice.
Anggara rolled his eyes lazily. "just ignore. As long as they just talk without doing anything, there's nothing to think about."
Damar nodded slowly. "Mark will keep an eye on what's happening in DC."
"After Reea and Shara finish eating, we'll just go straight to court."
"Good, Sir."

Andreea exits the courthouse with Anggara, Shara, and Damar. Throughout the ninety minutes he sat inside, his chest still feeling tight when occasionally hearing Rachel or Darmawan talk. But when the judge sentenced Darmawan to death and life imprisonment for Rachel, the tightness slowly faded. Perhaps, it was the arrogance of those people that left him deeply hurt. So when the two of them were completely crushed and slumped over the judge's verdict, there was tremendous relief that Andreea felt.
Andreea went down one step in the courtyard of the building when she heard the sound of sobs from the side. He turned his head, even though only his back was visible, he knew the crying girl was Giselle.
Andreea approached even though Anshara shook her head as if saying Ignore it!
Andreea did not say anything, but Giselle was aware of her whereabouts. The girl stood up, then wiped away her tears quickly.
"I.m sorry. My father and brother made you lose your family." Giselle kept her head down trying to hold back her cries in order to convey her heart.
"I'm sorry we. We'll live in agony our whole lives, we promise." a woman who's been by Giselle's side ever since, opened her voice.
Giselle nodded quickly. "I won't be happy. I promise."
"DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER! GISELLE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING!"
The sound of Darmawan's screams made everyone turn their heads. Darmawan and Rachel are being escorted to the detention car.
Andreea stared intently at Darmawan with her slanted smile, deliberately igniting concern at the middle-aged man who was already very cruel to finish off the lives of his Father and Mother.
"DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER, MOTHERFUCKER!!! I SHOULD HAVE FINISHED YOU OFF TOO!!!"
Anggara glared sharply and would pass over to Darmawan but Andreea held his arm.
The man continued cursing incessantly until he got into the prisoner's car.
A moment later, Giselle squabbled before Andreea. "I'm sorry, Reea. I'm sorry." The girl kept sobbing. His appearance was already very chaotic. If usually she always looks fashionable with beautiful natural makeup, this time her body is only wrapped in ordinary clothes and without makeup on her face.
"Cleo, take Giselle away!" Anggara raised his chin towards Cleopatra who had been accompanying Giselle ever since.
Giselle rose to her aid by Cleo. Before stepping, the girl continued to bend her body many times in front of Andreea while crying bitterly.
"Gi!" Andreea's soft voice held back Giselle's steps who had turned her back on everyone.
"Live well and be happy. I'm sorry I made you leave this town, I hope you understand I'm still so tormented to see you remind me of your father and brother."
