The Billionaire Mafia
Get Your Hands Off Her!

The city of London is sprinkled with glittering lights along the streets as well as towering buildings. Like the ten-story building known as The Landmark London Hotel. Tonight Aurelie looks very beautiful and amazes the visitors at the hotel. Aurelie was initially reluctant to come to the event, considering their relationship was not so close, even the family seemed to dislike her. Luckily Aurelie did not come alone, Mandy also accompanied her. If only Veronica's feet could walk normally, her friend would definitely stand at the front.

"Elie, if you're not sure we're going in, we'd better go. No need to attend their engagement." Mandy understood the worries her friend was having. Having a year-long relationship is not a short time, there is no way Elie can forget Brandon in a short time, he thought.

But it was different from what Aurelie thought. The woman no longer cares about Brandon, his feelings like being knocked away after their relationship was not sanctioned by the Sandler family, so his heart did not hurt so much when their relationship had to end. Tonight, her ex-boyfriend is engaged to Carmela Born. His heart used to get the news, instead he responded to the request of Carmela who wanted her to come to see their happiness.

What worries Aurelie is that she is just afraid of not being able to control herself like before. If he is constantly provoked by his emotions, it is not impossible that he can throw his fist in front of other guests and it could result in his image as a model that is gently crushed in an instant.

"No Mandy. We've got here, of course we have to go in." Aurelie flashed a faint smile, before walking ahead of Mandy who still seemed confused by the change in the look of Elie's face.

Then Mandy followed the steps of Elie who had entered the luxury hotel. The second step is now in tandem to the atrium that already looks crowded, there are not many guests present. Because what they heard if the Born Family and the Sadler Family only invited the closest relatives.

Inside, Aurelie can see Brandon's parents who are friendly with Carmela. The middle-aged woman's treatment of Carmela was inversely proportional when treating her at that time. He was not welcomed by Brandon's parents, in contrast to Carmela who seemed very dear.

Aurelie just silently watched, her hands clasping in front of her chest clasping a small black bag.

"Elie, are you okay?" And Mandy is still worried about Aurelie, whose heart is feeling fine. The woman was the one who thought too much about Elie who turned out her feelings had died for the man who would soon be engaged.

Aurelie smiled in response. "Do you think I'm gonna cry, Mandy?" the answer. "No, dear Mandy, why am I crying over a man like him" she said with a smile.

Of course, Aurelie's presence became the center of Brandon's attention who was gathering with his extended family. Ever since Elie entered the atrium, Brandon had sharpened his vision to a figure who was certainly still the winner of his heart. Unfortunately, Brandon is too cowardly to fight his parents.

Carmela, who is chatting with Mommy from Brandon, sneaks to see her future fiance. Following the viewpoint of his prospective fiancee who turned out not to be addressed to him. The smile that had originally expanded, now subsided because Brandon's view was fixed on Elie, the man's former lover.

"What's the matter, baby?" Of course it became a question Mrs Sandler who suddenly found the face of her prospective daughter-in-law moody for a moment.

Carmela takes her attention away from Elie and turns to Lady Sandler. "It's okay Mom. It's just that I really don't like that woman." Then his gaze returned sharply towards Elie.

Mrs Sandler also followed the direction of the prospective daughter-in-law. Suddenly the look on his face was similar to that of Carmela, looking dislike and hateful towards the woman who was the ex-lover of her beloved son.

"Why is that woman here?" he mumbled not like. Truly, from the past to the present, Mrs Sandler did not really want to meet the woman.

Carmela heard the muttering of her future in-laws. "I invited him Mom" he said, causing Mrs Sandler to turn her head toward her future daughter-in-law.

"Why did you invite him Carmel? What if he breaks up your engagement to Brandon?!" Mrs Sandler doesn't think with Carmela. How could his beautiful future son-in-law invite a woman who might have bad intentions towards their engagement party.

Carmela smiled faintly. Still focusing his eyes on Elie who was talking to his assistant and manager. "No way Mom. I can confirm that she won't dare break my engagement to Brandon."

Mrs Sandler still held doubts, but when she saw the sarcastic smile of her future son-in-law, she understood a little. "Do you have any plans to embarrass him here, baby?" tanyanya. Really, if that is the purpose of Carmela inviting the woman, of course she will support and even be involved in humiliating the woman does not know herself, he thought.

Hearing a question from Mrs Sandler, Carmela stared fixedly at the face of the prospective in-law, before then nodding small. "I just wanted to teach her a lesson Mom."

Mrs Sandler's eyeballs sparkled with a small grin. "You really are my smart daughter-in-law. Then Mommy will help you, baby."

Carmela's happy not to play. He has completely taken the heart of Mrs Sandler. Of course it was easy for him, because both Brandon's parents wanted a daughter-in-law who was as equal as him. Therefore, he easily got rid of Elie Cassandra from Brandon's side. Moreover, he no longer has Mommy, so Mrs Sandler already considers herself like her own daughter.

***

Now that the engagement has begun, the perfect couple in the eyes of the guests and close relatives of the Sandler Family and the Born Family are exchanging rings. To get a standing ovation from various guests inside. Carmela developed her smile with her hands coiled around Brandon's arms. He would not let the man who had officially become his fiancee tonight approach Elie who had been watching him and Brandon.

You see Elie, Brandon's mine tonight. He won't be able to come back to you.

Carmela's gaze was full of ridicule to the woman in the maroon dress with her shoulders open. Carmela recognizes the beauty of the woman, even she is really envious because Elie has always been the center of attention wherever she is.

"Carmel, I'll go there first." Brandon suddenly whispered until Carmela raised her face.

"Why? Do you want to see your ex-boyfriend?" And answered dislike by Carmela.

Brandon was silent. It turned out that his intentions had already been read by Carmela.

"Don't love, I just want to grab a drink." As much as possible Brandon did not show his nervousness because he was almost caught by Carmela.

"Then we take a drink together." Carmela smiled, then pulled Brandon's arm to follow in her footsteps. He's not stupid, Brandon would have wanted to meet that nalaang woman. And he would never let it.

While being stared at dislike by Carmela and some of the Sandler family seems indifferent. He did not care about the many eyes that looked down on him. Stay calm while sipping drinks, it is not good if you ignore the drinks and food that has been served.

"Elie, why do I suddenly feel uncomfortable lingering here?" mandy whispers. He noticed several pairs of eyes that had been staring at them with a strange look.

"just ignore. Let's just say you're an artist" Aurelie said casually, returning to sipping non-alcoholic beverages.

"Ck, you're an artist. While I'm not," Mandy insisted.

"Yes, yes, I forgot." Mandy smiled at the horse.

"Alright, we congratulate them and get out of here right away" Aurelie said, putting the glass she held on the table.

Mandy nodded at Elie's words, and she placed the same glass on the table. Before then trailing behind Elie who had already stepped towards the couple who had just held the engagement. But not long ago, someone blocked Elie's steps.

"Ck, women don't know themselves!" cetusus. Even researching the appearance of Elie from top to bottom. "Look at your classy appearance, you must have gotten this dress from selling your body, right?"

Aurelie clucked lazily, she tried not to get emotional. "Sorry Mrs Sandler, I'm not who she's accusing me of." Yes, the one who blocked her path was none other than Mrs Sandler, the mother of Brandon.

"It turns out you're like that. Lucky my son didn't vote for you and you won't be our family's daughter-in-law." And Mr. Sandler chimed in, it turns out that the couple both have sharp and spicy mouths.

"Sorry Mister.... Madam...." Mandy took one step forward. Really he did not accept the words of the two middle-aged couples. So look, now they are the center of attention there. "Don't talk about Elie. He's not like the-"

"It's Mandy, just let them want to talk about me." Before Mandy could finish her sentence, Aurelie brushed Mandy's arm so she wouldn't have to make a sound. He wanted to let the haughty family insult as he pleased before he acted more. Finally, Mandy locked her mouth tightly.

Mrs Sandler chuckled. "It turns out you actually sold your body to buy the dress you were wearing?" But the old woman further ignited Aurelie's emotions.

Aurelie's gaze circulated to the entire Sandler family present. They looked to be smiling at each other looking down on him. Unlike the Born Family who seem confused, including Mr. Alan Born who sat watching, next to Mr. Sandler.

Cih, disgusting humans. Aurelie could only bathe.

"What's this, Mom?" Finally Brandon was able to let go of Carmela's hand. Since then he has been watching his Mommy who is trying to find trouble with Elie. His ex-girlfriend was silent and did not cause any problems. And Carmela with an annoyed face followed Brandon who approached Elie.

"Brandon, look at this woman who doesn't know herself. Already selling his body to a rich man still dares to bother you." Mrs Sandler complained as if the wrong thing was Elie who was still trying to interfere.

"Sorry Mrs Sandler, I've been quiet ever since and said nothing. I want to make it clear, I came here because I got an invitation from Miss Carmela." Just now Brandon wanted to open his voice, it turns out Aurelie had already defended herself. Her eyes glanced at Carmela who was staring at her flatly. "Isn't that Miss Carmela?" he smiled at Carmela.

Carmela stared cynically. Of course he invited Elie to humiliate the woman. "True, I did invite you. Because I want to share my happiness with you" he said with a forced smile.

"Oh..." Aurelie. "Then congratulations to you," he added did not reduce the level of his smile that has been pinned since.

"Thank you." Carmela is very good at smiling. "By the way, I have something for you. Ah, not just for you but for you, baby, too" he told Brandon by twisting one of his eyes.

"What??!" It wasn't Aurelie who was curious, it was Brandon.

Carmela's hand swung to call for a servant there. Until the maid came over by giving something.

Carmela grabbed it, then took a few photos from inside the box that the waiter had just given her. "Elie, isn't this you?" He then handed the photo to Elie.

Elie froze for a moment. Inside the box was a picture of her with a man, just not showing the man's face. Only his face was so clear.

Brandon snatched the photo, his forehead wrinkled deep. "You're in a hotel with a guy?" Somehow Brandon so dislike to find a photo of his ex-girlfriend who was in a hotel room with a man, I don't know who it is.

"My dear son look, this woman is not as good and innocent as you think. As long as you guys are together, he's even been in a relationship with another guy." Mrs Sandler doused gasoline into the embers, until her words of course burned Brandon's heart which rumbled violently and crowded together.

Brandon's disappointed look to Elie, his former lover who he still loves. Seeing the photo was like a big rock had hit his chest. Especially if he hears directly if all that is true.

"Elie, did you really betray me when we were together?" Brandon even deliberately pressured Aurelie into admitting it.

Aurelie could do nothing when asked such a question. Really, this is unexpected, why did they go that far just to bring him down. Even Mandy herself suddenly turned pale, she did not know where the photo came from and it was impossible for Elie to be with the other man in the hotel room.

"Elie???!!" Brandon again called out in a voice filled with anger, because Elie was silent. Even Brandon's two hands had landed on Aurelie's exposed shoulder and shook it.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!!"

Their attention, which had originally been on Aurelie, was now on the voice of the male baritone who approached the woman with a calm face, but the look in her eyes was tucked in anger.
