Chapter 355 - Second Half Counterattack
In fact, not even Mellisa herself could tell if Leila was the culprit behind the car accident. Never mind the evidence of Leila's involvement, Mellisa hasn't even found out who sabotaged her car. But there was always a voice in Mellisa's heart telling her that Leila had an absolute motive for killing her.
After a while, Jenny gave them a few more words of advice before leaving the ward first. With Jenny gone, there were only four people left in this room.
Lilia turned around and looked at the sofa in front of the window. He smiled at the two men who had been sitting there quietly and watching it all. Lilia's smile widened into a sly smile.
He said confidently, "I want to see Leila!"
"Okay."
"What would you do?"
The two voices came from Jean and Mellisa respectively. Their response reflected the level of their trust in Lilia. Jean, who had gotten used to Lilia's plans, no longer questioned the woman's decision. But on the other hand, Mellisa looks worried because her sister intends to confront a woman who is as slippery as a snake.
Lilia gave Jean a gentle smile, then she looked back at Mellisa. Even though her lips were smiling, Lilia's eyes were icy cold. "Of course, I intend to get back payment for everything he's done so far."
Mellisa seemed to disagree with the idea. He was considering how to persuade his younger brother to give up such bad ideas.
At this time, Leonard, who was sitting beside Jean, suddenly got up. Lilia looked at the man with a little misgivings. If Leonard chooses to side with Mellisa and oppose her idea, it will be difficult for Lilia to carry out her plan. But it turned out that Lilia didn't have to worry.
Leonard walked to the side of the bed and took a glass of water. Then he thrust the glass close to Mellisa's mouth before sticking the straw into her mouth. "Drink water first and listen to your brother's words until the end!"
Mellisa who wanted to talk and was forced to drink water could only glare at Leonard. However he had no choice but to take a sip of the water.
Lilia saw this scene and secretly smiled broadly. Then he walked over to Jean and sat beside him. The man immediately pulled Lilia into his arms, as if he would die if he couldn't touch his wife. Lilia buried her face in Jean's chest and closed her eyes, just as Mellisa pushed her water glass away.
"Leonard! Whose side are you on ?! "
"I'm not taking sides. I just feel that we should at least hear Lilia first… "
Lilia waited for their fight to end while enjoying the warmth of Jean's arms. If there were other people in the room, they would definitely shake their heads. The older sibling is fighting with her partner, while the younger siblings are spoiling their partner. But that's how the two sisters' characters differ and how they complement each other.
When Leonard and Mellisa finished fighting, then Lilia withdrew from Jean. He looked at the door and said in a low voice, "But before I can meet Leila, I might need Jean and Brother Leonard's help to prepare a few things."
Jean stared at his wife closely, rubbing the back of his hand. He asked in a silky voice, "What do you need?"
Leonard also glanced up at him and motioned for Lilia to continue her words. The man seemed excited that Lilia called him 'big brother', as if he was acknowledging Leonard's relationship with Mellisa.
Even Mellisa spat out her straw and turned to look at Lilia. However his sight was blocked by Leonard's massive body. She pushed the man aside before saying, "Go on."
Lilia leaned back on the sofa. He folded his slender legs and lifted his chin. A sly smile adorned his lips. At this moment, Lilia really looked like a female mob boss.
"Jean, Sis Leo, please do something so the Irwan family can see Leila's face without any effort." He said.
From the bottom of her heart, Lilia had doubts about Richard and his wife's investigation. As Aunt Jenny said, if they had deliberately avoided a certain possibility because they involved Leila, wouldn't the results of their investigation be in vain? They would only waste their time waiting for Richard and Janice to finish their investigation.
That's why Lilia intended to slap their faces with undeniable evidence regarding Leila. Thus, the two of them couldn't escape the truth!

Two days passed after Richard and Janice's arrival at the hospital. As promised with Jenny, they did not appear to Mellisa until their investigation was completed. But lately, the weather in Jakarta has also gotten colder. The signs indicate that the rainy season is coming.
Early in the morning, less than eight o'clock, Simon Irwan just came back from taking his pet dog for a morning walk. He walked around the alley around his house and arrived at the front gate.
But when Simon was about to enter the house, his dog suddenly barked. He turned his head and saw the little dog sniffing at a package in the form of a brown envelope that had just been left on the ground.
Simon looked around, but he saw no one around. The package was placed at the gate of his house, but there was no signature on it. The old man was curious and took him back inside the house.
In the past two days, the old man had lived a very bad life.
His residence, which is always peaceful and calm, is now filled with commotion every day because of the presence of the Pangestu Family couple. They kept screaming and demanding to be allowed to leave, but the bodyguards arranged by the Widjaya family here continued to guard them very closely.
Jean called it protection, but Simon knew this was tantamount to detaining them illegally. But her eldest daughter also advised Simon not to interfere. Jenny was the old man's dearest daughter, so he took Jenny's advice without protesting.
When Simon finished breakfast, he thought back to the mysterious package. So he got someone to take the package and open it directly in front of him. However, Simon's eyes widened when he saw the documents and photos in the package.

On the same day, Richard arrived at his office inside one of the largest museums in Jakarta. There will be a cultural fair here today, and he must attend as the host.
His coworkers greeted Richard as they passed the man, but they all turned their heads back to him. The man's face looked haggard and his attitude was not as cheerful as usual.
Why did the curator seem so discouraged?
As Richard walked toward his office, he ran into his secretary.
"Director, there's a big package for you. I don't know where it comes from, but you have your name on it. I've put it on your desk." The secretary reported.
"Okay." Richard responded hastily.
Upon entering the office door, Richard immediately saw the yellow cardboard box on the table. Most items used for a weekday exhibition will be delivered directly to him. That's why Richard didn't think much when opening the package. But he was surprised when he found that there were many documents and photos in it.
He was a little confused and opened one of the documents. The content on the first page was so shocking that Richard nearly dropped the document!
