Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 716
Advertisement
"How could I throw you out? It has been three years since I last heard from you. We have to have fun first before you come back," said Indah.
Agnes smiled and said, "My parents are gone. I only have you and my uncle. This time, I will stay in Indonesia."
"Stay?" Indah was surprised to hear that.
Anya was still out of town. Even though her condition was stable, she was still easily affected by her environment. Anya was still afraid to meet so many people at a big event like today's wedding.
She was afraid that the previous incident would happen again.
Hermawan Group had been acquired by Galih and Aiden. Jessica would definitely come and return to take revenge on Anya. What's more, she knew of Anya's current state.
Galih and Indah would not risk their daughter's safety to come to this big event.
But Indah did not expect that Agnes, Galih's niece, would return to Indonesia at this time. It was clear that Agnes was attracted to Aiden.
Now that Anya wasn't beside Aiden, things might get difficult later.
Aiden was alone.
How could he resist the temptation? If he let others seduce him and made him betray Anya, their marriage would be destroyed.
If that woman was Jessica, Indah wouldn't care at all because Aiden didn't like her, despite the fact that he had known her for years.
But this was Agnes!
Indah couldn't be that sure.
Agnes was a dancer. She had a beautiful body and perfect build. Her face was also very beautiful and gentle in nature.
Plus, Agnes was very famous. She won various awards in Indonesia and abroad.
Agnes was not an opponent that could be underestimated.
If the incident three years ago hadn't happened, Agnes probably would've been in an even higher stage than where she was right now.
After three years of disappearing from the screen, her damaged face had returned to perfection and her experience abroad had made her much more mature than any woman her age.
In Anya's absence like now, Anges would be the toughest rival.
Indah stared at Galih with annoyance. Why did her husband have to bring Agnes back? Did he want to destroy his daughter's marriage?

"Auntie, do you really hate me coming home?" Agnes asked sadly.
"How could I! Of course I'm happy when you return to Indonesia. If your parents are still alive, they will probably ask you to get married. Many single men came to the Atmajaya family party so…"
"Auntie, I don't want an arranged marriage. I already have a guy I like." When Agnes said that, her eyes were fixed on Aiden who was standing in the distance.
Indah felt choked. Agnes really liked Aiden!
"Agnes, I'm going out of town for a few days. Your uncle is home alone. I'm worried that he won't be able to take care of you. How about you live in the Pratama Family's house? You already know the house and the servants already know you too," said Indah.
"I heard that you and uncle are living in a new house now. I want to live with my uncle and aunt!" Agnes held Indah's hand and said, "Auntie, I don't want to live in that house. I'm afraid to think about Keara. I feel uncomfortable."
"But that house is not our house. That is…"
"I want to live together with you. Uncle already agreed," Agnes took Indah's hand and acted spoiled. She made Indah unable to refuse.
In the end, Indah could only sigh deeply. This would mean that Agnes would stay close to Aiden and that it would be easier for them to bump into each other.
Would Aiden be able to withstand this temptation?
Galih walked over and said, "Agnes, don't you want to open a dance school? Come on, I can introduce you to some people."
"She wants to open a dance school?" Indah finally knew why Agnes wanted to stay in Indonesia. It turned out that it was because Agnes wanted to open a dance school.
With her popularity, Agnes didn't have to worry about her school. It would surely be crowded!
But why was Indah feeling even more anxious?
Her daughter wanted to start a perfumery school while Agnes wanted to start a dance school. It was true that the two were different, but somehow, this seemed to give the impression that Anya and Agnes were competing.

Maria approached Indah and said in a low voice, "I don't think Agnes is that innocent."
"You're right, but Galih didn't realize it at all. He felt sorry for her not having parents and he tried to give her the best he could to replace them," Indah couldn't be angry with her husband because he only had good intentions.
"I understand. Don't you also really love your nephew?" Maria chuckled.
"Jonathan is a good boy, but I can see that Agnes is not. I can see from her eyes that she keeps looking at Aiden," said Indah irritably.
"I will commemorate Aiden. You have to trust him. His relationship with Anya is not that easy to break," said Maria.
"But I feel Agnes will not give up that easily," Indah frowned. "Galih really welcomed a wolf into the house this time. Agnes insisted on living in our new house, you know. She said that if she lived in the old house, she was afraid she would think of Keara."
"She's smart. She knows your new house is close to Aiden's," Maria also frowned. "Looks like we have to be careful."
"Right. But if Aiden is easily tempted, he doesn't deserve to be my daughter's husband. There are still better men who deserve Anya," said Indah calmly.
"How about you try to tell Anya about Agnes? If she really cares about Aiden, she will come back, right?" Maria suggested.
"What do you mean…?"
"Avoiding your problems isn't the right way to deal with it. She must face it with courage. I know she's gone for treatment and I know for sure her condition has improved a lot. Anya has been gone since Valentine's day and now it's already May. And yet she hasn't come back…"
Maria felt disappointed that Anya did not attend such an important event. This was the marriage of her two children, who were none other than Anya's kin.
But when thinking about her illness, Maria did not dare to insist.
"I didn't let Anya come back because I was afraid that someone would find trouble with her, like what happened before. I don't want her treatment to go in vain. The doctor said her condition was getting better, but I didn't want to risk ruining her hard work," Indah said, defending her daughter.
"I understand, I don't blame Anya. I just feel a little disappointed that she can't come," Maria shook her head resignedly.
"Mother..." At that moment, Jenny ran over and hugged Maria's arm.
Indah looked at Jenny with a smile. She knew that Jenny was the lost daughter Maria had long searched for.
Even though they didn't live together, the Atmajaya family also loved and pampered Jenny a lot. Apart from the tiny boys in Aiden's household, Jenny was the youngest member of the family.
"You guys talk. I will rest for a while," Indah walked towards one of the chairs, carrying her glass.
At that moment, a familiar figure suddenly flashed through her eyes. Indah could only see her for a moment before she disappeared.
She immediately took out her cell phone and called her daughter. It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Indah immediately rose to her feet and pursued the figure, following her to where she had disappeared. She chased her to the end of the corridor, but no one was there.
Meanwhile, in the bride and groom's changing room, Tara was holding her wine glass while leaning against the sofa. She was really tired and couldn't stand up anymore.
She was hiding here for a while because she could no longer afford to be the main guest star at the party.
Who would've guessed that just as she sat down, someone entered the room.
'Damn, let me rest for a bit. My feet hurt. I'll be back to the party soon!' Tara thought when one of the crews asked her to come back to the main hall.
But when she looked at the door with a tired look, she saw someone enter.
The figure really shocked her!

Daybreak
In a world of swords, magic, and wonders, Vreil suddenly loses his family to a twist of fate. On his quest to survive, he follows a mysterious wizard, and becomes embroiled in a revolution he knows little of. He cultivates magic, learns to fight with a blade, and meets worthy companions. He grows stronger and more mature, gradually turning from prey into a hunter. And in his journey, Vreil clashes with pirates, immortal jokesters, wolves and, even worse, sheep. Can he use magic, blade and wit to fight them off? Or will he be the one to fall instead? Follow Vreil on his adventures. Witness the dawn of an era. 🧙🧙🧙 This is a story I'd written a few years back, and I figured it's a waste to just let it sit around. Most of it is already written, but I'm going through the chapters and editing the shit out of them. This story is NOT a Lit-RPG, so no blue screens or anything of the sort. It is just fast-paced fiction with slight cultivation elements. Updates are bi-daily (so every 2 days), and chapters are 1500-3000 words. As always, feedback is more than welcome. Why are you still reading the synopsis? You have already decided. Go ahead, give this story a shot. It's worth it.
