Novel Bin Chapter 37 - Come Or Die!
After failing to get Gatot to go to court tomorrow, Lisa was forced to ask Oscar for help again. For the sake of a quiet, peaceful life she had long wished for her, her mother and also her younger sister, she had to do this. Lisa was at her wits end to convince the rotten man to come to court and settle things with her mother forever.
Kumala was still sobbing, kneeling in the living room. Lisa helped her up from the living room and said, "Mom, let\'s just sleep in the room. Let me take care of the rest. You don\'t need to worry. This case will be over soon!"
Lisa carried her mother who was still crying and weak. If her mother did not interfere, Gatot would already be battered. Lisa gave her mother plain water to calm her mind. She grabbed her mother\'s medicine and handed it over to her.
"Mom, next time dad comes, don\'t open the door again! Even though Bella opened the door earlier because she didn\'t know anything. But before this, when Lisa was busy at the office, you still opened the door for him!" Lisa advised her mother in a worried tone.
Sometimes, Lisa still didn\'t understand her mother\'s way of thinking. Gatot had visited her house several times when Lisa was busy working only to physically hurt Kumala. How stupid was it that Kumala still kwpt the door open for her father!? It had been years since Gatot left Kumala and his own family, Lisa always saw her mother end up bruised or injured on certain parts of her body. It was certain that it was Gatot\'s doing. Who else would do that to her?
Lisa hoped that the completion of the divorce papers hanging by her father could prevent her mother from being attacked by her father. Although it did not guarantee 100% but with a legal divorce status, Lisa\'s father could be charged with the law if he still dared to disturb her mother at any time.
"Mom, tomorrow we have to go to trial as a family. You better take rest now so that tomorrow you\'ll be fully healthy." Lisa stroked her mother\'s head gently and lovingly.
"But your father… that man... he\'s not going to court tomorrow and I was stupid enough not to defend myself!"
"He\'s gone already, Mom. I\'m too tired. Let me ask my boss for help to settle this case!" Lisa reassured her. She then took her cell phone in the room and called Oscar. Her patience was running thin. She had no other choice but to ask Oscar for help.
"Yes, Lisa?" Oscar said from across the phone.
"Sir, I need your help to convince my father to come to court tomorrow!"
"It can be arranged, tell me where your father lives. We go now to his house!" Oscar replied briefly. His voice sounded confident.
Lisa immediately hurried to change clothes. Actually, she didn\'t want to come along, but for her mother\'s sake, Lisa couldn\'t help but visit her father\'s house and force the old bastard to go to court tomorrow.
***
An hour later, Lisa and Oscar arrived in front of Gatot\'s house. To be more precise, the luxurious residence of his new wife. Oscar was a little surprised to see the house where a hobo like Lisa\'s father lived. How could a rich widow want to marry a hobo, he thought.
"Are you sure this is the house?" Oscar asked, still in disbelief.
"One hundred percent sure. This house is also the house of the bastard Karina, if you remember."
"Oh so Karina is your step sister?"
"Ugh god forbid, soon father and mother will divorce! There wouldn\'t be any brethren between me and Karina!" Lisa exclaimed curtly.
"Alright, then let\'s finish this!"
Oscar told Dani to stand by behind him. Lisa accidentally glanced at Dani\'s pocket, it seemed the giant was holding a gun. \'Let\'s just hope there\'s no bloodshed today.\' She thought.
The three people were then welcomed into by Gatot\'s house security. \'What an enormous mansion.\' Lisa thought. Her father was really a man of money, he was willing to leave his family for temporary wealth like this.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman with thick and tacky makeup stepped into the living room. She looked exactly like Karina— stormy fake lashes, fiery pink lipstick, blusher that was too flashy, and a leopard print dress that was no less tacky. The woman had a sour face, her lips didn\'t smile at all.
"Sorry gentlemen, what do you need in my house?" Asked Veronica Herdiana, Gatot\'s new wife.
"Good afternoon madam, I am Oscar, president of Petersson Communication. Maybe you don\'t know me but your child knows me at the office!" Oscar explained firmly and straightforwardly.
"Oh, then who is this random woman? What\'s her business with me?" Veronica asked in a condescending voice.
Lisa\'s blood seemed to be on fire. If this wasn\'t for something important, she might have hit the old woman\'s sour face!
"Oh, she\'s not just a random woman. She\'s my future wife! So don\'t talk carelessly about her."
"Yes, then what\'s your business here?"
Oscar sat down and crossed his legs in a relaxed manner. He clasped his hands together while staring fixedly at the old woman standing in front of him, "Your husband has unfinished business with his old wife. I heard that the divorce papers that his former wife have been suing have yet to be finalized!"
"Who are you dealing with my husband!? What right do you have to interfere in our household affairs!?"
"Heh just so you know, I am the real daughter of your bastard husband!" Lisa snapped, her brows knitted together, her breathing becoming less and less constant.
"Oh, that\'s fitting. Like mother, like daughter. No different, both tacky and gratuitous!"
"You whore!" Lisa almost threw her fist at Veronica\'s face, but Dani held her back.
"Lisa, you just sit there. I\'ll take care of it." Oscar motioned for Lisa to shut up and listen.
"So Madame, I want your husband and you to attend the divorce court tomorrow. If tomorrow I don\'t see the bridge of your husband\'s nose, I\'ll have no other choice but to fire your daughter who works for my company, oh and also..." Oscar snapped his fingers. Dani then approached the old woman and pointed his gun at her face for an instant.
"Do you prefer to come to court tomorrow or disappear from the face of this earth forever?"
The woman shuddered in horror to see the gun pointed at her face, "O...OK ... Tomorrow my husband and I will come to court!"
"Good, I trust your talk. Remember, if I don\'t see you and your husband in court, you already know the answer, right?"
Veronica just nodded shakily. Her legs suddenly went limp.
"See you tomorrow in court! Dani, you can lower your gun!"
Dani put his gun back in his pocket.. The three of them got out of the luxurious house and escorted Lisa back to her house.
