Everyone who heard was stunned. Half understood almost the entirety of their case this time. However, there were some among them who did not understand what the reporter was reporting with an annoying explanation.
"Mrs. Sofia, the mother of these two sons. Nor did she give any action in favor of Mr. Muliawan to got some kind of justice for his daughter's sake. She compensated his second son in the form of shares in their large company. Hoped that all the mistakes of his first son could be forgiven by his second son,"
"Yet for a dozen years, not a day has passed by Tuan Muliawan without missing his daughter. Kept looking for him. But never managed to find it. Even after his older brother, Tuan Gunawan died. There is no good etiquette present from his extended family. They seemed to have closed the incident and never apologized to him by once."
Daniawan became furious.
"What's with this news? Who is providing this unqualified information to the media? Have they… completely lost their minds?"
Daniawan tried to think clearly. But none of the clear thoughts he could get. That news was so absurd and bullshit!!
Daniawan glared at Harry again.
"Then, because of this… mother fell unconscious?" he asked frustrated and guilty. His mind was so confused right now. And he felt his head throb violently.
Then the look in Harry's eyes that dropped, answered many things.
Lily who was also concerned, rubbed her husband's shoulder. Intending to show her condolences and provide maximum strength, with whether or not it would still be useful in this situation.
Christina, Kiky, and Cleo looked at each other.
"Dad, who is Muliawan? And who is the second brother? Didn't grandma only have two sons? The late Uncle Gunawan, and also you? So, who is that man? And since when did you guys have other siblings?" confusion was evident on Christina's serious face.
She could understand how serious the problem they were currently facing was. But she still doesn't fully understand who the people involved in it are. And how such a complicated situation could have happened.
Lily tried to wipe away her sad tears. Trying to also represent her husband to answer their daughter's questions. Lily sighed in disappointment.
"Muliawan is your father's brother, dear. He is the second child of the mother-in-law. So, your father is actually the third son."
Christina still doubts her mother's explanation.
"However, how could I have not known all this time? And how can you never talk about the figure of a second uncle to the other big families when we gather?"
Lily looked at her husband and nephew reluctantly.
She didn't feel she had any more right to tell how Muliawan was a figure less accepted by Theodore's extended family.
Often making trouble and not infrequently also make many other members of the extended family annoyed due to his rude and arbitrarily tempered behavior without thinking about the opinions of others.
Cleo acted only at the limit of listening. He did not interfere and voice opinions. Although she had heard quite a few stories about Muliawan.
The rumored man was also the one who had terrorized her and Harry.
That man is now showing his true identity to the general public to seek sympathy?
Cleo didn't understand what Muliawan's plan was and she didn't want to try to understand. However, looking at the mess he caused. How could Cleo turn a blind eye and try to mend the broken family relationship that lasted a dozen years?
Daniawan ignored his daughter's nervousness and gave Harry a strong affirmation.
"That news is not true, Har! It's all just engineered and exaggerated on various important points."
Daniawan firmly defended Gunawan.
"First Brother is not an irresponsible person. He had been desperately looking for Jenny. And he has also uttered an apology sentence dozens of times. And expressed the guilt that got him at the same time his concern for have causing the whole mess!"
Daniawan looked deeply at Harry.
"Therefore, tell me! What is his planning? And why do you claim that you are guilty of this? You don't look surprised. And you seem to have met your second uncle again after a long time he hasn't been back."
Cleo began to suspect that the important person who Harry had wanted to meet last night was his second uncle. However, why was the result of their discussion only a final decision that Muliawan would reveal his family's internal problems to the public?
"Maybe, I have provoked him. Or maybe this was all he had planned from the start. He's aiming for this family. And I don't really know what he's up to other than to disturb our peace until he's satisfied or get much better."
Danniawan narrowed his eyes. Watching closely and almost couldn't believe Harry's words. Daniawan announced his surprise.
"You… knew about his daughter who disappeared before the news? And then you went to see him because of this? And you talked to him without telling me?"
Harry just stayed where he was. Meanwhile, Daniawan kept an eye on Harry's facial expression. He spoke coldly after that.
"Since when did you know? And how did you know that?"
Daniawan had guessed the answer before hearing it from Harry.
"You… asked your grandmother directly? And she told you everything?"
But in Muliawan's mind, he still doesn't understand how Harry could bring up Muliawan and Gunawan's problems in the past. This news was only known by adults. No one allowed Harry to know this truth because this man was too smart and no one wanted to burden a child's mind.
With the exception of Muliawan, of course.
The man has clearly shown his hatred for Gunawan to Gunawan's son.
And from that fact, Daniawan could felt his head ready to explode.
Harry advanced boldly and confidently.
"The matter regarding the second uncle, I will deal with it as much as possible. While minimizing the bad effects he causes."
Daniawan still couldn't feel calm. He knew what his second brother was like. And he knew how stubborn and indifferent he was to whatever he believed was true and accurate. In fact, what he thought just was his madness and selfishness.
Lily tried to calm him down again.
"My husband, please calm down. Don't panic too much! And talk about this matter carefully."
Daniawan protested.
"How can I calm down when mom faints because of this problem? The second brother even involved the late first brother. He's gone too far! And how can I tolerate this anymore?!"
Daniawan let out a long sigh. He held back his emotions and reminisced about how their life was in the past. Daniawan continued to ignore it for a while.
"He shouldn't have done this. He should have rethought how his eldest brother had sacrificed so much for him! Then, has he forgotten all that?"
Harry took his uncle's word seriously. Raised his face and looked straight. Harry's brows furrowed too.
"What do you mean, Uncle?" asked Harry, "What sacrifice did my father make to the second uncle?"
Daniawan showed a look of pity.
He had promised Harry's late father that he would keep all his past kindness secret from anyone. Never going to bring it up. And assume the whole incident has ended in the past.
But, was there still any point in him hiding all that now?
When Gunawan's kindness was never appreciated. And his second brother keeps acting up!
Daniawan had a dilemma.
"Forget whatever I said just now! Pretend I never said anything. And just think about how to deal with your second uncle. As well as getting his senses back on the right track."
Harry did not relax his serious and sharp gaze on Daniawan.
"Tell me everything! Don't dodge! And forced me to find out what it was on my own way!"
Daniawan finally decided to give up.
"A long time ago, your second uncle was acting up. And it was your father who solved the problem by putting the whole blame on him as the culprit."
Harry was made even more curious.
"Dad.. helping the second uncle? Then, what kind of mistakes has he made up for?"
"Confessed guilty to substituting for your second uncle for poisoning his friend."
Harry seemed to have some kind of bad feeling. Listening in deep seriousness and getting sweaty.
Harry wouldn't seem to be letting any important piece of information slip away this time.
