Chapter 449 - Caught (1/2)

”I'm worried about Ivan and I don't know how Keara can persuade him to break the engagement. Ivan didn't care about himself at all. He even broke off his engagement, saying that he might be paralyzed for life. If it's like this, who wants to be his wife?”

Bima didn't want to tell Imel the real problem so he used Ivan as an excuse.

”My son is handsome and smart. How could he not find a good wife?” Imel said proudly.

”But Ivan is...”

”But what? Even though everyone said that he's just an illegitimate child and his status is no higher than Aiden's, I didn't feel that way. I hope you don't think like those people either. Don't ever hurt my son,” said Imel.

”Do you think I don't love Ivan? I gave the same to my three sons and even gave my overseas company for him. When he married and had children, his child's status remained the same as Nico's. I will never have any favoritism,” said Bima.

”But now Aiden is the largest shareholder in the Atmajaya Group. When your wife died, all shares in her name went to Aiden. Nico owned his own shares and also inherited his father's shares. Only Ivan doesn't have anything,” Imel said irritably.

”What do you want? Give all my shares to Ivan?” Bima's voice turned cold. ”Why?”

”I don't need your shares even if we get married. You don't need to give me anything, just give it to Ivan,” Imel was worried because Bima was old. What if his blood pressure rose again and he suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage?

What would happen to her without Bima?

Bima looked at Imel coldly. He knew what Imel was thinking.

”The shares owned by Aiden's mother came from her own grandfather, not from the Atmajaya family,” Bima said in a flat voice.

The expression on Imel's face immediately changed. She felt her heart stir and fall into chaos. She thought she could get a portion of the shares from the Atmajaya family and raise her son's status.

Even though her marriage to Bima would not work out for her, she would become Mrs. Atmajaya. And after Bima died, she would have the highest position.

”Imel, I'm too old to be with you. I also want to be selfish and be with you. But if I died, would you want to spend your whole life in the Atmajaya Family like Maria?” Bima asked.

Imel shed her tears. ”I know you are the best for me. I want to marry you, not because of the name Atmajaya or your property. I just don't want other people to call Ivan an illegitimate child,”

”If I marry you, does that mean that the title will disappear from him?” Bima asked.

”Bima…” Imel looked at Bima in surprise. ”I don't care if other people say it. But do you also think that Ivan is an illegitimate child?”

”In my eyes, all my sons are the same. Only you cannot remove that title from Ivan. Everyone doesn't care where Ivan is from, but you feel that Ivan was born outside of marriage. He is the second son of the Atmajaya Family and everyone recognizes him so. Only you have different thoughts,” Bima said cruelly.

Ivan was nice and polite. His face was handsome, his appearance was also extraordinary. He had a good character and above average abilities.

If only Aiden would accept Ivan and admit him as his brother, who would dare insult Ivan? But unfortunately, Imel's existence made Aiden hate Ivan.

Maria and Nico were important figures in maintaining harmony in the Atmajaya Family. They didn't just manage to win Bima's heart, their relationship with Aiden and Ivan was just as good.

Bima might be harsh and grumble at Nico's childish attitude often. But Nico was still his favorite grandson and Bima loved him very much.

However, Imel often said bad things about Nico in front of Bima, more than once.
