"Next time, watch your attitude. Don't get too close to Tiara. Your mother and I will return to Indonesia before Jenny gets married. During that time, don't make trouble."

"I won't make trouble. Don't worry," Rudi answered carelessly.

​​

After ending the video call, he immediately contacted his company's PR department and told them to use this news as a promotion of his online shopping mall.

He doesn't have to spend money, and he doesn't have to do anything. He was reported as a hero who saved a woman in trouble. Why didn't he just take this opportunity?

…

At this time in the Tanuharja Family, Surya had already received a call from Leo very early in the morning.

Leo kept scolding him and cursing him over the phone. Surya repeatedly apologized and tried to calm Leo, but whatever he said was useless.

Today's headline is about Rudi becoming a hero, saving his daughter from a villain, which was Leo.

Surya slams his phone in anger and screams to the maids. "Quickly tell Tiara to come to the house!"

Tiara received a call from the Tanuharja family's maid while she was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Last night, Surya was completely humiliated at an event he organized himself. And it was Tiara who caused the commotion.

But as long as Surya and Rosa can make up and don't get divorced, Tiara is willing to do anything, even apologize to Leo.

She took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Uncle, auntie is with me. Don't worry," Tiara said calmly.

"Come here quickly!" Surya turned off the phone after saying it.

Tiara brought the breakfast she made to the dining table. When she looked for her aunt, she found that Rosa had finished bathing.

"Auntie, uncle asked us to go back home. We can go after breakfast," Tiara said while looking at Rosa carefully.

Rose nodded. "Don't be afraid. I won't let your uncle hurt you."

"Okay," Tiara replied with a heart that felt warm because of her aunt's concern.

After breakfast, Rosa and Tiara called a taxi and went back to the Tanuharja Family's house.

As soon as they entered the door, Surya immediately shouted at her. "You still know the way home, huh? Look what you did! Leo called me and cursed at me. Tiara, what is your relationship with Rudi? Why would he want to help you?"

"Uncle, are you blaming me for rejecting Leo? Or do you feel that Rudi shouldn't help me?" Tiara asked.

"What's with your attitude? Why are you even challenging me? I was humiliated yesterday and all because of you. Don't you know that?" Surya stamped his feet angrily.

Tiara's eyes were also filled with anger. But for the sake of her aunt, she suppressed her anger and said, "Rudi helped me because of Jenny. Leo's wife just died but you were ready to sell me to him. You tried to sell me for wealth, of course you would be humiliated."

PLAQUE!

A hard slap landed on Tiara's cheek.

"Say it one more time!" Surya shouted.

"Tiara!" Rosa cried.

Tiara felt her body sway and fell to the floor. Blood dripped from the corner of her torn lip. She raised her head and said sadly, "Uncle, I thank you for raising me up to this point. But that doesn't mean you can do this to me."

"If you're really thanking me, you shouldn't offend Leo. Get up and go to his place. Admit your mistake and apologize to him!" Surya stepped forward and grabbed Tiara's hand, dragging her to the door.

"Let go of Tiara. Let her go!" Rosa immediately approached him and hugged Tiara's waist to hold her.

Surya kicked Rosa many times and Rosa could only cry. "Tiara is not your daughter. You have no right to do this to her. She is innocent. If she doesn't want to, you can't force her!"

"Why can't I force her? Nobody wants her, but Leo wants to make her his wife. I have to do all of this for Tiara's sake!" Surya said in a low voice, snorting.

His words were like sharp blades, stabbed right into Tiara's heart.

In her uncle's eyes, she was merely an object that he could sell to an old man like Leo.

"Tiara, hurry up and go! Go to Jenny, Harris or Rudi's house. I can't protect you. Go, hurry!" Rosa tried to restrain Surya and told Tiara to leave immediately.

"You did all this on purpose, right? Tiara, you must apologize to Leo today! If you dare to go, I will divorce your aunt!" Surya shouted.

"Uncle, I will go and apologize to Leo, but I don't want to marry him. It's up to you whether you want to divorce aunt or not," said Tiara calmly.

Surya was really annoyed with her. He stepped forward and wanted to hit Tiara again, but Rosa held him back.

Surya pointed at the door and shouted, "Tiara, get out of here and don't come back! I regret that I brought you up to this point, you ungrateful child!"

Tiara looked at Surya deeply. She got up from the floor and grabbed her bag before leaving.

Today, the weather is very hot, but for some reason, Tiara feels cold all over.

She walked away crying, like a lonely child. No home to return to, no place to go.

She couldn't go to Jenny's place. Currently, Jenny is preparing for her wedding and is in a happy mood. How could she destroy her best friend's happiness with her troubles?

She also couldn't go to Harris's. As stupid as she was, she knew that Harris wanted to save her at her aunt's birthday party. But Nadine stopped him.

Tiara walked all day and realized she had nowhere to go and anyone to turn to for help.

The sun was setting, she felt very lonely as she walked alone at dusk.

The passersby rushed home. Vehicles also filled the streets as everyone wanted to return to their respective homes. But she was the only one who didn't know where to go.

Tiara felt she had been ignored and discarded by everyone. No one cares about her.

At that moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. One of her employees at the bar asked her why she didn't come today.

Tiara tried to be cheerful again. Although her relationship with her uncle was ruined because of this problem, the bar belonged to her and her aunt. She and her aunt could only depend on the bar to survive.

She immediately rushed to the bar.

Street lamps illuminate the area that is already getting dark. Loud music from the bar was heard all the way to the street.

As she entered the bar, Tiara could hear deafening music. However, she was used to it.

Before work, she fills her empty stomach with instant noodles first. After that, she changed her clothes, put light makeup on her face and went out to meet the guests.

Rudi was drinking with Nico at her bar.

As he was about to leave, Rudi saw a guest spilling wine on Tiara. The woman tried to fight back, but the person instead raised his hand, about to slap Tiara in the face.

Rudi came on time. He grabbed the man's wrist and used a little of his strength so that the man screamed in pain. "L-Let go of me…"

"Apologize to her!" Rudi's eyes looked deep as he glared at the man who wanted to slap Tiara.

"Don't you know who I am? Why are you telling me to apologize to her!" The man looked back at Rudi defiantly.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know who we are?" At that moment, Nico came over and slapped the man on the head.
