A Mate is Never Wrong
Grief House.

Handoko shock. "That's impossible, I saw him in the afternoon. I left the hospital and it's fine."

"You'd better come with us and explain it in the office."

Niko stood up and protested, but Handoko held him back. "Let them bring papa, papa can handle it, this must be a misunderstanding."

Handoko let the police handcuff her hands.

Niko's angry. "Tell them, I'll sue back if my father's innocent."

The policeman ignores Niko's remarks and takes Handoko with him.

Handoko looked at Niko with calm eyes. "Papa's sure papa's innocent."

Magdalena, Brian, and the other servants were sad to see what was happening. They can only resign when the police bring Handoko out of the house.

Niko did not stay silent, she contacted Darius with her chest up and down due to emotions.

"Hello, sir," said Darius.

"Papa was arrested by the police. Call Mr. Widu, get him to the office, I want to talk to him."

"Good, Sir."

Regardless of her breakfast and coffee, Niko immediately rushed to get ready.

During the day Jefry was relaxing in the back garden while enjoying tomato juice and newspaper. Today's plans Angelina and Ulan will do body treatment and hair care in the salon for the wedding preparation tomorrow. As it took hours, the two women left Jefry alone.

Drtts... Drtts...

The incoming call on his phone made Jefry turn his head. He folded the newspaper in his hand when he saw a number that was familiar to him.

"Hmm?"

"Boss, everything went smoothly as planned. Robby Lamber took his last breath last night."

The smile on Jefry's face widened. "good job. I'll give you all a little appreciation."

"Thank you, Boss."

Jefry ended the call and then broke down.

"Nothing can stand in my way. No one will ever be able to defeat a Jefry Tanujaya."

Jefry was broken again.

Drtts... Drtts...

The ringing of the cell phone stopped Jefry's laughter. His brows furrowed looking at the same number displayed on the phone screen.

"What's wrong?"

"The Robby family reported your advice to the police, they said it was you who killed Robby Lamber. According to their description, the last person Robby interacted with was your boss."

"What?" Jefry then stood up, "Where is Handoko now?"

"He's at the police station. They arrested him at his residence this morning."

"Suckers! Why did Handoko meet the bald guy?" for a moment Jefry kept silent and thought, "Is it possible that Handoko knows the truth?" Jefry ignored the person behind the phone, "I know, he must have met Robby to thwart Niko's marriage," Jefry clenched his hands, "Fuck, dickhead, if it wasn't tomorrow's children's wedding I wouldn't have released you. I'll let you rot there Handoko," Jefry shut up for a moment and then greeted the person behind the phone, "Call the family lawyer, have him meet me at home."

"Good, Boss."

At the Lamber residence everyone was dressed all in black. Guests from one city were ceaselessly coming to serve. Families, relatives and colleagues filled the seats.

Amanda sat beside the crate crying. Beside her was Viona who was also crying and trying to comfort her.

Despite only briefly talking and coming face to face with Robby in the hospital, Viona believes the man is very sincere. He testified in his heart that Robby Lamber was a good man.

In front of them was Devon who kept silent without a sound. His face was so sad and pale. He wanted to cry, but his tears could not come out.

Devon was the first to notice Robby's lifeless condition with a frothy mouth. Since watching that, until now Devon never spoke as if his mouth was locked, he did not expect his papa would leave so soon.

Deril appears, takes a position next to Amanda then comforts her. "The culprit's in jail, Ma. The police came to his residence this morning and arrested him."

"Good afternoon."

The voice of a man shocked Deril and Viona. Devon and Amanda's thoughts were not good, so they did not hear the man's voice.

Deril stood up and greeted the black-clothed man. Judging from the appearance of Deril believed the man in front of him was a wealthy businessman. Deril is confident that the man knows his father.

On an event like this does not look at social status. Who comes to serve means the purpose is to comfort the bereaved family.

"I'm so sorry."

"Thank you" Deril said kindly. He raised his hands to shake.

In her position Viona was like a nail embedded so deeply. Seeing the man in front of her made Viona surprised.

'Niko ..' she said in her heart, 'Niko knows Deril's father? I think Niko knows no, if Robby conspired with Jefry to play Wulan?'

Unlike Viona, Niko actually greeted the woman who was sitting daydreaming in front of her. "Viona's? What are you doing here?"

Deril surprised. "You know him?"

"I know him very well."

Deril looked at them in turn.

Seeing Viona's whereabouts raises suspicion for Niko. "Viona, can we talk to you for a second?"

Viona can't escape. "certain."

Niko pamit then left them.

Deril looked at Viona in confusion. "Who is he?"

"My friend. I'll explain later."

Deril can't hold Viona. While staring at her sexy back, Deril lets the woman go with Niko.

"What are you doing here, huh?!" niko said with emphasis, "Don't tell me that Jefry paid you to eliminate Robby, Viona."

They are now far away from the crowd. Viona and Niko sat side by side in a chair that was quite far away from the other mourners.

"That's not true, Niko. I'm here because I know this family."

"Liar! I know you, Viona. You're willing to do anything for money."

Viona. "I swear I didn't do it. I don't know who did it myself. Deril said the culprit was in jail."

Niko stared at Viona for a long time. "Now be honest with me, what is your relationship with them?"

"I was in a relationship with Deril, Robby's first son. He just arrived from Manado yesterday."

Niko fell silent while looking down. Although angry with Viona for her cooperation with Ulan, Niko believes Viona is not a woman who likes to lie.

"They accused my father of being the culprit. The police came to the house this morning and arrested him."

Viona shock. He quickly turned his face to look at Niko.

"According to them my papa was the last person he interacted with," Niko took a deep breath, "I believe my papa, he couldn't possibly do it."

"Wait ... When did your father visit him?"

"Yesterday afternoon. My papa said before the police took him this morning, he left him fine. Papa said they both told a lot. Even he agreed to make a report today to put Jefry in jail."

"Wait .. There must be something wrong here."

Niko looked at Viona. "What do you mean?"

"Wait here, I'll call Deril."

Niko doesn't hold back and lets Viona leave her. There was little hope in him for Handoko to get a defense.

It wasn't long before Viona showed up with Deril. With a confused expression Deril looked at Niko.

"What's wrong?"
