BXBX NOVEL Chapter 306 - A Little Gain
"Did Harris tell you not to let me leave my job?" Aiden asked with one eyebrow raised when he heard Anya telling him to finish his job.
Anya's hand stopped moving for a moment in surprise at Aiden's question. Was Aiden too smart, or was her plan too obvious?
She was caught!
"Harris said you wanted to take me on vacation to the hot springs. I was really happy, so I planned to say goodbye to my mom before leaving. By the way, Uncle Galih called me just now. I hope you can reconsider the acquisition of the company," Anya did not hide it and immediately told the truth.
"Is that all?" Aiden looked at Anya. His tall body approached Anya, one step at a time.
Anya's heart was beating even faster. She didn't know if she should tell that Galih gave her mother the money to buy the garden.
"Anya, there is something you are hiding from me," Aiden did not ask. He knew that Anya was hiding something from him.
"No, I ..." Anya stopped talking to think for a moment and finally gave up. "Alright, I will tell you."
Aiden sat at their dining table, took Anya's bowl and filled it with soup while waiting for Anya to speak.
Anya could only stare at Aiden confused. "I don't know how to tell you. Can we talk about it after eating?"
"Now!" Aiden answered in a low voice, but his firmness made Anya unable to refuse.
Finally, Anya could only sigh deeply.
"Uncle Galih told me that he was the one who paid for my mother's garden, but my mother didn't know at all. The money was sent to my grandmother and Uncle Galih still has proof of the transfer. He said he hoped I could consider his and my mother's friendship to persuade you to stop making things difficult for him," Anya looked at Aiden carefully. "However, if you really insist on acquiring the company, you can ignore it. Just do what you want to do."
Aiden didn't need time to think. He immediately answered firmly. "He helped your mother and now your mother can't repay him. Of course we have to. Tell him that I will sell all shares of his company today. As for Nadine, I'll find out myself," Aiden said.
Anya could only be silent listening to Aiden's answer. She couldn't believe it.
Aiden was willing to stop all of this for her and her mother.
"Aiden, won't you suffer a loss if you stop now? Even though my mother owes Uncle Galih, my mother and I should pay it, not you. You are not responsible for this. I don't want to embarrass you and I don't want you to suffer any losses," Anya said. She regretted telling all this to Aiden because she would only be a burden to her husband.
What if Aiden suffered a loss because of her?
"I lowered the stock price and bought a lot. If Galih wants to buy the shares that I hold, he must invest a lot of money in the stock market so that the stock price will stabilize again. When I sell it for a high price, I will not incur a loss. In fact, I'll get a little profit," Aiden said with a smile.
"How much profit do you get?" Anya looked at him in shock.
"Not much," replied Aiden casually, "My estimate is around 100 billion rupiah."
Anya's eyes were wide and she couldn't say anything.
All she ever knew was that last night Aiden slept very late. She even had time to wake up and look for Aiden. So this man only needed to work overnight and got 100 billion rupiahs?
How could Aiden earn that much so easily?
Anya worked a full year in her garden, watering and fertilizing the plants, killing insects and also pulling weeds. After plucking all of her flower yields, she sold them all and only made about twenty million. The money was only enough for her mother's hospital fees and to pay for her daily needs.
"You once said that your annual salary was roughly one trillion. That means, the money only comes from Atmajaya Group, and does not include your income from stocks?" Anya asked in a low voice.
"Hmm…" Aiden nodded.
Anya could only look down and cover her face with dizziness.
Aiden chuckled at his wife's behavior. "Your husband is quite rich, right?"
Actually, Aiden was feeling a little uneasy inside. He didn't dare tell how much money he got because he didn't want to stress Anya out. However, due to Nico's negligence, Anya accidentally found out in the end.
Now, Anya also knew that Aiden could make money through the stock market. This little wife would be even more depressed.
"I know that rich people own shares, investments and properties such as offices, malls, shop houses, resorts, and so on. Do you also have one?" Anya's voice trembled a little as she asked.
"Mrs. Atmajaya, when we have time, I'll take you around. We'd better eat first," Aiden immediately avoided the topic.
Anya nodded her head weakly. She did not dare to ask again. The more she knew, the more pressure she felt.
There was no doubt that her husband was very, very rich. Maybe his income was not only one trillion. Maybe tens of trillions…
Anya didn't dare to think about it and she didn't want to think about it. How much money Aiden had had nothing to do with her. After all, she had already signed a pledge that she wouldn't touch Aiden's money.
After lunch, Anya called Galih to give the news.
"Uncle Galih, this is Anya. Aiden already knew that it was you who helped my mother to get our garden. He said he would repay uncle. He is willing to sell all the shares of uncle's company that he bought tonight," Anya said calmly.
"Anya, thank you. I will discipline Keara and make sure she doesn't bother you anymore," Galih said.
"Thank you for your kindness to me and my mother all this time," Anya said.
"Anya, I really like your mother. I let her down before. If only fate didn't separate us, maybe you would be my daughter. I… I really wish you were my daughter. By the way, thank you for your help this time and I hope you are happy," Galih said sincerely.
"I haven't seen you in many years even though I know that uncle is my mother's friend. But you cared a lot more about me and my mother than my father did. I really envy Keara for having a father as good as you, uncle. I hope uncle and Auntie Indah are always healthy too," Anya replied with a polite smile.
Without realizing it, Galih's eyes flushed with tears.
There were many things he regretted in this life, one of which was not being able to be with the woman he loved, Diana. He felt regret over and over again when he saw Diana and her daughter suffer.
But if he got the chance to choose, he would still choose the same thing. He would never change his life just because of love. He would never leave his family for his love.
He was destined to disappoint Diana.
Galih opened his desk drawer and took out an old photo. It was his picture and Diana when they were young.
Anya didn't look like Diana at all. She also didn't resemble Deny even a bit.
For some reason, Galih felt there was a similarity between Anya and himself!
Before Diana married, Galih had a chance to meet Diana. That night, they were so drunk that he couldn't remember exactly what had happened.
Did something happen that night when they were drunk?
