GIRL IN RED
CHAPTERS 137. AMANDA THE SERPENT
Meanwhile, after the incident Reza who was caught being harassed by Ruby, battered was beaten. His face that had been battered before because it was beaten by Emir's bodyguards, was now battered again by the men in the Lavani Family.
Ruby Zemira is Zivanna's cousin and a close relative of the Lavani Family. Reza's actions made the family angry because they felt it had been smeared in their own homes and in front of the guests who were all from the top. How humiliating!
Reza has been taken to the hospital because he drank alcohol that he had prepared himself to trap Arimbi. Without him knowing if the reborn Arimbi still remembers the incident and can avoid it.
While the Emir who knew from the bodyguard he was assigned to secretly watch Arimbi told him that the drink had been checked by stimulant drugs. This made the Emir angry and beat Reza before Arimbi could retaliate.
But it's the same, isn't it? Emir or Arimbi who retaliates, the result remains the same….Reza's been eating his own bait. In fact he got an addition, made battered by the Emir's guards.
As a result of consuming drinks that have been poured with stimulants, Reza can not control himself. When she realizes what happened to her, she tries to contact Amanda but before Amanda can come at the right time, Reza harasses Ruby.
Although everything did not end badly, it still tarnished Ruby's good name and eventually strained the relationship between the two families. Reza was taken to the hospital after he collapsed. In addition to Yessi, Gio and Amanda also came, besides the incident occurred at the residence of Lavani. So Gio had to take responsibility as the host.
Because it was clearly as planned, Gio intended to dig it up to its roots when Rezaa was awakened later. While Reza was asleep, Yessi did not stop sobbing sitting beside her son's bed. The sight of her son's swollen face made her heart ache. Which camp people had conspired to frame Reza in such an unworthy manner?
No one could trample his family so easily! Since there was nothing Amanda could do there, she secretly went outside. He came all the way here because he was a friend of Reza besides he had to take care of the cooperation between the two families.
“Amanda!” Gio followed him from behind until the two of them reached the end of the hall.
“Luck hasn't sided with Reza lately.” Amanda said then sighed naoas. “He really suffered the last few days. Not only was he bitten by a dog and broke his arm but he was also involved again last night.”
His mind was now muddled, Reza could've gotten him if Gio hadn't thwarted him. If he had gone to see Reza last night, none of this would have happened.
Amanda and Reza have the same feeling so Amanda would have given herself to the man if it could have helped Reza last night. But they were still at Villa Lavani last night and it could have been one of them because they were in an open space. He did not dare to think about it any further. To be honest in his heart, he felt guilty and also felt pain.
“Not everyone has an easy life. Misfortune happens sometimes.” Gio said.
Although he had already tried to cheer up, Gio was the happiest person to see Reza in trouble. She likes Amanda and realizes that she loves Reza. After tonight's incident, Amanda definitely doesn't want to be with Reza anymore.
Moreover, there was Arimbi involved among them.
“You stay?” gio asked with jealousy gushing from his voice.
“Iya, I think I should accompany Mrs Kanchana. He's alone here and I know him pretty well. Let me calm him down first.”
Gio grabbed Amanda's shoulder with a solemn face. “Amanda, don't you know how I feel about you? Am I that bad compared to Reza? She's getting married to your sister, but you stick to her anyway.”
Amanda's cheeks flushed red as she managed to escape the man's clutches,”Gio! My mind is in chaos now. Let's talk about it next time, okay? Reza..he's just my friend.Not more than a friend. We have known for a long time, our family can also be said to be close.”
“Really? Amanda, you can lie to anyone but not me. I know you love her but Arimbi likes her too. Did you curb your own feelings of guilt for taking everything from Arimbi? That's why you set him up with Arimbi? Even though I'm happy to see it, I don't want to see you sad after all that sacrifice. It's not your fault you had to replace her as Miss Rafaldi for 23 years. So don't blame yourself for that, Amanda.”
Amanda sighed, “Gio, I know I'm not salag but still I realize that I'm not part of the Rafaldi family. Everything I have now belongs to Arimbi. This guilt is killing me. So I wish he could have a better life than me. And I'm happy to give her whatever she wants.”
Gio pouted and disagreed, “Is the village girl worth it? You are wrong to call the village girl your sister. For the past 23 years, you've given your parents the best when they weren't around. He should even be grateful to you, instead of thinking that you snatched everything from him.”
“You and your parents are now managing the company. Aoa Arimbi ever help?” gio added again. He always looked down on Arimbi.
Although Amanda feels in the wind now after hearing Gio's reproach about Arimbi, but she still scolds him softly, “Gio, don't mock him. Even though she was from the periphery, my biological parents really loved her by giving her all the best they could for her. Since he is now already involved in the company, he will definitely climb up slowly with the help of my father. The company belongs to the Rafaldi family and I'm just a stranger. So the company needs him in the future.”
Gio snorted, “If your father hands the company over to him, they will be destroyed in less than six months.”
Even if the company does not fall into Arimbi's hands, Gio will fight the Rafaldi Group and bankrupt him. Until Yadid is willing to hand over his authority to Amanda. The company had to be dropped somehow. And Gio had planned to do it for Amanda.
Amanda was silent and clenched her lips tightly after hearing Gio's words, until suddenly her phone rang. He quickly grabbed his phone and answered the call.”Father.”
Since he knew Yadid was on the phone, Gio paused his intention to eavesdrop on the conversation and immediately stepped aside.
A few minutes later, Amanda turned off her phone with an awkward face.”Gio, my father asked me to come home as soon as possible. But I'm still worried about auntie and Reza.”
