Chapter 306 - A Little Gain (1/2)

”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.
