Forced to Be Stepmom
The Fall of the Starla Family Company

Starla's father was still silent after hanging up the phone from his daughter. He thought about what his daughter said on the phone earlier

"If I get married to Radit, then papa's company will also flourish. Did you know that Radit is also good at business? Not to mention he was part of the Kusuma family. So you don't need to be afraid of anything, because they will easily help you when there is a problem"

"Starla's right. It would be very profitable for me to marry Starla to Radit. Even though he already had children, it was not a problem at all. Radit has no wife or lover. So there's no harm in me trying to talk to Leo"

Starla's father calls Leo to discuss Starla and Radit's relationship

Tut tuut tuut

Starla's father waited long enough for Leo to receive a call from her

"Hello, Mr. Reno" After a while, Leo's voice finally came from the other end of the phone

"Hello, Mr. Leo. How are you and your wife?" Starla's father greeted cheerfully

"Our news is good. Mr. Reno himself, how are you?" Leo asked back with his calm attitude

"I'm good too. Thanks"

"By the way, is there any need for Mr Reno to contact me?" Leo doesn't want to make small talk and ask the point straight away

"This sir. About our son, um ... how is it?" Starla's father sounded hesitant when he wanted to say what the purpose of contacting Leo was

"You mean, about Radit's relationship with Starla?" Leo immediately guessed the purpose Reno contacted him

"Yes, I want to ask about their relationship. You also said it's better to just match them. Now I want to make sure if that intention can be implemented?" Reno waited for an answer from Leo with a sense of hope. While Leo was silent for a long time to think of a way to convey the truth to Starla's father

"Ehm .. previously I wanted to apologize to you, but that intention can not be done again now"

"Why?! is my daughter not good enough to be your daughter-in-law? Is it possible that you could tell me so that I could advise him to be what you want" Starla's father was surprised and asked Leo's reason for refusing her request

"That's not the problem. The problem is that now that Radit is married, maybe Starla can get another soul mate besides Radit out there. I'm sure there must be a better man for Starla" Leo tried to speak calmly so as not to inflict hurt on Starla's father

Starla's father was silent for quite a while, he felt it was a pity that he couldn't be different with Leo, but he couldn't do anything more than accept it

"No papa sir Leo, maybe our son is not a match. As you said, there must be another man destined for my son" Starla's father was heartened to accept what Leo said with a forced smile

"Then thank you for listening to me, Mr. Leo. Sorry for taking your time. Thank you very much"

"I apologize for not being able to realize your wishes and I also thank you for your understanding. See you, Mr. Reno"

"Yes, see you, Mr. Leo" Leo finally hung up from Reno

"Haah .. is unfortunate because Radit is married. But when did he get married? Why didn't I hear the news? It was also previously unknown which was his wife because she had a baby. Now that he knows he's married" Starla's father thinks hard about Radit's relationship with his partner who is very far from the spotlight

"It's better not to make trouble with that family. Although they look good, but they can be very creepy" Starla's father buries his wish to be messed with Leo for not wanting to get involved much with Radit's family

Tok tok tok tok

"Excuse me sir! We're in big trouble!" Just after Reno contacted Leo, her assistant went straight into her room without waiting for her permission

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to barge in just like that?!" Starla's father was victorious with a calm demeanor

"I'm sorry sir. I have to report this to you immediately" Assistant Reno spoke hurriedly

"This sir. Our company's shares are down drastically"

"What did you say?!" Reno widened her eyes hearing what the assistant said

"Our share price in the capital market has decreased dramatically, even reaching 70% of the previous price"

"What?! Down to 70%?! How could? Since when did that happen?" Reno was so panicked, she didn't know what to do. But he tried to stay calm and find a solution

"Since noon, sir. Initially the price dropped normally, but until this afternoon our stock price continued to decline" Assistant Reno explained the situation with his boss in a calm attitude. He has been working for a long time in Reno and is a competent employee

"Have you tried to stabilize it?" Reno asked again with a panicked face

"It was sir, but it didn't work. You've tried buying stocks again to keep them stable but that doesn't work. There is one account that buys our shares below the market price" Reno Assistant explained the origin of the decline in stock prices

"What do you mean?" Reno looked at her assistant with a astonished face

"Yes one of the accounts monopolizes our share price. You guys been tracking that account?" Reno is now beginning to wonder who she means

"Already sir. The account belongs to one of Nugraha's companies"

"What?! Nugraha Company?!" Reno was quite surprised by what her assistant said

"real sir. We've been tracking that account and it's from the Nugraha company"

"I just called Mr. Leo, he doesn't seem to know anything. So. chances are this is Radit because now he's in control of the company. But why would he do this? Why would he want to take down my company? Did I make a mistake with him? But what?" Reno thought hard about the cause of the fall of his shares

"Ah, I should contact him directly. I need to know the reason for all this. I never mentioned it, but why would he want to bring me down? Call Radit's assistant, we have to ask him for help. Only he can save us because he's also the one who's just trying to take down our company" Reno gave his assistant an order after he thought

"Good sir. I'll call right now" Reno's assistant started calling Candra

Tut tuut tuut

"Hello"

"Hello with Mr. Radit's assistant?"

"Yes, I'm alone. Who'sis this?" Candra asked with a cold tone of speech

"I'm Mr. Reno's assistant. Can I see Mr Radit?" Reno's assistant spoke straight to the point of bwberaoa7

"Sorry, for now it can't be because tomorrow Mr. Radit will meet the invitation outside the city. It might come back after a few days there" Candra spoke in a calm and dignified manner

"When can you take the time to meet him?" Reno ksmbaoi's assistant asked him

"For now it can't, maybe later sir. Because currently Mr. Radit is busy with his schedule"

"Then thank you"

"Yes, see you" Candra hung up on her phone

"Why did you let him know that we were hogging his company's shares?" Candra looks confused and immediately asks Radit after he hangs up the phone from Reno's assistant

"Because I want him to know who broke his company. It's gonna be a big blow to Starla's dad"
