Chapter 708 - Announcing The Identity (2/2)

Depression could indeed kill a person from within.

”No, you are too kind that some people get jealous of you and want to hurt you. Anya, Diana has agreed to change your last name to Pratama. I want to announce your true identity,” said Galih.

He said it so suddenly that Anya didn't have time to think. ”When do you want to announce it?”

”Today. Jessica shared a photo of Aiden when he drove her home and said that Aiden spent New Year's Eve with their family. To deny the news, Harris will use the official website of the Atmajaya Group to release a photo of our lunch together. At the same time, my company website will also put out the same photo with the same background, and announce that you are our daughter who disappeared twenty years ago. What do you think?” Galih asked carefully.

Anya was silent and looked at her husband. Aiden nodded, as if saying that he would support all of her decisions. ”What do you think of the name Anya Pratama?”

”Anya Pratama?” Anya muttered in a low voice, still looking doubtful. ”Can I call someone first?”

Galih nodded and turned his gaze towards Harris. ”Harris, spread the picture showing Anya, Aiden and the children to ward off the issue with Jessica first.”

Harris then came down and asked Hana for the photo when Anya called Deny, someone she'd always thought of as her father.

”Happy new year, Father,” said Anya.

”Anya, have you eaten?” Deny didn't think Anya would call him.

In the past, he treated Anya very badly. But who would've known that he'd only have Anya in his old days?

Now, he was living alone and also in poor health.

”I spent New Year's Eve with my mother and biological parents,” Anya said. ”I've found my biological parents, do you already know?”

”I've heard it,” Deny replied.

”I might change my name...” Anya said in a low voice.

”You and I are not blood related. Since childhood, Diana was the one who took care and raised you. If your mother agrees, I don't mind it,” said Deny.

”Even if I change my name, I am forever your and my mother's daughter. If you need something, you can always look for me,” Anya said, her voice sounding softer.

Deny laughed and answered, ”I'm fine. I've hired a nurse to take care of me and I still have a lot of savings that I reserved for Natali before.”

”Okay then, I'll visit you later,” Anya said politely.

”Yes, please send my greetings to everyone. Happy New Year. Daddy is tired and wants to rest now,” Deny ended the call.

Anya saw her slowly dimming phone screen. She knew Deny was in a bad mood.

Natali was gone, and so was his wife.

He was old and in poor health.

He had to welcome the new year alone, without anyone accompanying him.

All Anya could do for Deny was call him and visit him. At least she was grateful that Deny was willing to take care of her until she was 10 years old.

”How is it?” Galih asked.

”Mother has told him about the birth and death of their biological child not so long ago. He already knew that I am not his real child. He's probably prepared himself if I decide to change my name one day. Dad, what do you want now? I will just follow your wish,” said Anya.

Galih nodded happily. ”Finally, I can tell everyone that I have found my daughter! Those old bastards won't dare to fight me again!”

”What do you mean?” Anya asked worriedly.

”His situation at the company is not good. Everyone said that he had no successors. His second daughter died after birth and Keara also committed suicide. The shareholders in the Pratama company wanted to remove your father from his position,” said Aiden.

”Father! Why didn't you tell me that you got into trouble?” Anya asked with a shocked look.
