Genius Children - The Heirs
7. Audacity

Liana had a plain look. Liana immediately put on a weak and helpless expression. Her delicate and charming appearance could pierce the hearts of anyone who saw her.

Sanjaya's heart felt pity. He looked at Luna with anger. Luna immediately shuddered in fear but when she saw her mother coming down the stairs, she immediately ran towards her mother.

“Mother, she hit me mercilessly.” Luna starts complaining to her mother, Susi.

Susi became angry and looked towards Damian as well as Liana.

“For what you came here. I don't have a daughter like you.”

Damian walked towards Liana. Her tiny hand held Liana's fingers. His handsome face smiled as he looked at Susi's face.

“Grandma don't worry. Mom and I didn't come back to Sanjaya's family. Instead we just want to visit grandpa.”

Susi coughed at hearing Damian's words.

“You don't act like a filial princess. And you dare to beat my daughter! Sanjaya, look at Luna's face. His face was like being slapped by Liana with a bang.”

Liana immediately replied without waiting for a reaction from Sanjaya, her stepfather.

“Yes, I slapped him. Because your daughter has been playing gambling and has huge debts. I even have to pay it off. I also lost my job due to the problems it caused. He almost killed me. Dia...”

Liana's words were suddenly swallowed in her throat.

“You said that I have no family. You said without the Sanjaya family, I would starve to death. You fed me to survive but in the end I was only used by you.” Liana said in a annoyed tone.

“You!” Susi really felt silenced.

Susi came forward and instantly festive Liana's arm strongly.

Liana expressionlessly looked at her hand and expressionlessly said, “Keep your hand away from me.”

“You! After we gave you life and raised you. You dare to be disrespectful. Do you still see me as your mother?”

Liana's face smiled mockingly. “You never thought of me as your daughter. So when you ask me if I still see you as my mother?”

Susi finally could not soak her anger anymore. It exploded like a blasting mountain.

“It is true that your biological mother left you or she will regret giving you life.”

“Then look at the ugliness of your daughter. Once you see the truth, can you still be proud of it in front of me?”

Liana stared intently at Luna. Luna panicked and went to her father.

“Dad, he wants to frame me. She is an unmarried woman, but she already has a child. So who's worse among us? And now he wants to frame me without proof. Dad, don't listen to any nonsense from him. She lies. Dad, trust me.”

“Shut!”

Sanjaya couldn't stand it. He's also confused. He knew that Susi and Luna treated Liana badly.

But he believed at that moment, one day they would stop treating Liana badly. But unexpectedly when he was not at home even until this moment. They still treated Liana worse.

“Susi, I know now. When I'm not around, you treat Liana badly. Do you have no conscience?”

Seeing her father angry, Luna retreated slowly but in the end she was caught as well.

“Good! The gambling? A debt? How can you give me a face huh?”

“Dad, I can explain.” Luna's tears started to flow.

“Shut! I don't need your excuse.”

For the first time Sanjaya slaps Luna in front of Susi and in front of Liana. Since childhood, Luna has always been pampered and raised with affection.

“Mother, we'd better go home.”

Liana looked down to see Damian. He smiled and then nodded. Liana and Damian turned around leaving the house which left a scar on Liana.

All the things that Luna and Susi did to her, were still etched clearly in her head.

Clamp his hand on the door, pull his hair and cut it. The pain that Luna was experiencing right now was not comparable to the suffering that she had experienced in the same past.

Liana and Damian return to her apartment by bus. Damian's face was a little pouted. Liana who saw him immediately pinched his cheek in a fit of anxiety.

“Honey, what's up?”

Liana touched the top of Damian's head. “Damian, now mom is happy so ignore them.”

“Mother don't worry. Anyone who dares to hurt mom. I'll fight him.”

“Ah, mom is really happy to have a small baby like Damian.”

“As long as mom is happy, Damian will do anything for mom. Mom, I love you.”

They have arrived at the apartment. Liana suddenly gets a call to work. Liana looked at Damian for a while who was watching a cartoon show.

The woman then fiddled with her phone to contact Suah.

“Suah-yep. Are you busy today?”

“ Today? No, why?”

“Can you please take care of Damian for a moment. I have a work call today. I can't just leave Damian.”

Damian who was watching television immediately turned to his mother because he felt his name in his mother's conversation.

“Of course. Coincidentally I was in the area around your apartment.”

“Ah, great once.”

“Ten minutes left, I'm up.”

“Ya, drive carefully.”

As soon as the connection was cut off, Liana was immediately greeted by a gaze of protest from Damian.

“Mother, I can take care of myself.”

“No to the moment.”

“Why is that? It's not the first time I've left my mom working alone at home.”

“Damian, listen to mom. Then and now the situation is different. Okay. Follow mom.”

.........

“Have you checked?”

Simon Cross looked at his secretary, Adam.

Adam who was white and cold said, “He's a boy to be pitied.”

Adam who usually does not show any mercy until using the word “Kasihan” means the situation is really serious.

“He was born without a clear father. Her mother is from the Sanjaya family, but her mother is only an adopted child.”

“Child adoption?”

“Ya.”

“How is the mother's life of the boy?”

“He is often mistreated and never properly fed. So Miss Liana had time to go to college while working part-time in various places.”

“Wait! You call it Liana.”

“Iya her name is Liana and her son is named Damian.”

“Is his father's salary big I mean Sanjaya's family?”

“No, I mean they founded the company and the company almost went bankrupt. Miss Liana was the one who saved the company from falling.”

“The woman could save the bankrupt Sanjaya company when she was just a part-time worker. Does that make sense?”

“It...”

Simon Cross looked at the documents given by Adam. The woman had a petite face with cat-like eyes, a pointed nose and full lips that formed a smile.

Beside him was a handsome little boy with stunning eagle eyes and a handsome facial line. So perfect and almost similar even almost similar to his grandson when he was a child, Gideon Cross.
