Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

Of all the days, let’s say today is the most awaited day for Asher.

After gathering ample evidence, assisting in the investigation, and engaging in lengthy discussions, finally, what Asher has been striving for can soon be realized.

Truly, from the outset of knowing the turmoil happening in Aurora’s household, Asher has been fed up and wants to resolve it immediately without any residue. But, because Aurora is overly kind, the significant real problem was left untouched, with the excuse of granting forgiveness and a chance simultaneously.

And, what happened in the end?

Aurora’s kindness was instead betrayed. Instead of being grateful for the chance to improve herself, Savana acted up. It started with the attack at the hospital. Then it continued with the slanderous accusations that the old woman spread to everyone.

Perhaps, Savana felt on top of the world. The slander she spread actually managed to influence Alden’s mother and ultimately led her to ask Aurora and Alden to temporarily end their relationship.

Because of this, Asher can no longer tolerate it. Whatever it takes, he will make sure Savana puts an end to her madness. And if necessary, Asher will silence and give a deterrent effect to the old woman to prevent her from repeating her actions.

“Why are you so surprised?”

In front of Savana’s house, Asher flashed a smile. He was delighted to see Savana, who froze for a moment as if surprised by his sudden arrival.

“What are you here for?” Savana returned Asher’s gaze. She asked again the purpose of Aurora’s sibling coming to her house.

“Me?” Asher pointed to himself. “What for? Of course, to settle the mess Mrs. Savana has made.”

Savana laughed then. There was nothing funny at all about Asher’s recent statement.

“What could you possibly settle? Besides, I don’t feel like I have any issues with you.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Asher laughed back.

“Mrs. Savana may not have direct issues with me. But, the repeated actions Mrs. Savana has done to Aurora make it impossible for me to stay silent.”

Instead of feeling guilty or slightly moved, Savana laughed dismissively. From her annoying face, it was clear that she didn’t regret any of her evil deeds so far.

“What actions are you talking about? Did I do something evil? Criminal? Or what?”

“Do you not feel guilty at all?”

Savana shook her head without a hint of guilt. She considered all her actions so far to be within reason.

“I think everything I’ve done to Aurora is something that should have been done. Moreover, Aurora has ruined my and Alex’s lives. She made my life difficult like it is now. So, she deserves all of this.”

Savana’s heart seemed to be made of stone or something. Despite clearly causing harm to many, she neither felt guilty nor remorseful, but rather kept babbling and trying to justify her actions.

“So, you’re making Aurora the scapegoat for the problems in your family?”

This time, Savana nodded. For her, Aurora was the only one who should take responsibility.

“She’s the cause of all this chaos, right? If Alex and I can’t be happy, it means Aurora shouldn’t be happy either.”

Asher shook his head in disbelief. Not long after, before he could confront Savana again, Rayyen appeared at the Arab descendant woman’s house. Asher’s cousin was accompanied by several burly men. They all immediately approached Asher, who was standing right in front of the door.

“Just take this woman straight to the police station. Let’s settle everything there.”

Asher ordered. And immediately, this made Savana react. The woman glared. She was surprised and confused because all of a sudden she was going to be taken to the police station without any discussion or at least permission beforehand.

Savana was convinced she wasn’t a terrorist. But, the number of officers who came and their strict actions made her feel like a serious criminal.

“No!” Savana shouted, refusing what Asher instructed to the burly men who turned out to be police officers. “You can’t just take me like this!”

“Who said we can’t?” Asher replied casually. This time, he would show how he dealt with Savana. “The police officers today have an official warrant to arrest and process your actions legally.”

“No!” Savana shouted again. She tried to defend herself. If necessary, she had to be able to defend herself. “What did I do wrong? I don’t feel like I committed a criminal act. So why should I be taken to the police station?”

Asher burst out laughing. With so many evil deeds Savana had committed, it seemed she had forgotten or perhaps had amnesia about her own actions.

“What did you do wrong? You had the audacity to assault Aurora, causing her injuries. Not only that, you also spread slander. Tarnishing her reputation, even accusing Aurora of things she never did.” Then Asher turned to one of the police officers next to him. He then invited him to speak and answer Savana’s question. “Please explain to this lady, Sir. What punishment will she receive for all the evil deeds she has done?”

The officer nodded. He glanced at Savana.

“You are charged with assault and battery resulting in injuries to the victim. Then there are charges of defamation and spreading false news. For these cases, you could face a prison sentence of up to two years as well as a hefty fine.”

Savana widened her eyes. Seeing Asher serious, she tried to defend herself again.

“You can’t just arrest and take me to the police station like this. I don’t feel guilty.”

“Oh, really?” Asher replied, laughing. “Please defend yourself or explain later at the police station. The most important thing is, I ensure this time you can’t escape and must experience what it’s like to be behind bars.”

Asher was serious in his words. Realizing this, Savana was naturally worried and anxious. Even staying in a smaller house made her feel uncomfortable and tortured. What would happen if she had to move and live in prison for quite some time after this?

Oh, insane!

Savana shuddered instantly. She was scared just imagining the bad things that would happen to her. Besides, two years is not a short time.

“Please, don’t.”

Suddenly, Savana’s attitude softened. She, who had been arrogant and even unwilling to be blamed at all, now slowly looked frightened.

“Please don’t overdo it. We can discuss this properly.”

Asher smirked. He looked meaningfully into Savana’s eyes, who was kneeling before him.

“Unfortunately, I’m not interested in talking nicely to heartless people like you. Rather than wasting time, it’s better to process it immediately so you can go to jail.”

Savana shook her head vigorously. She tried to persuade Asher to negotiate.

“I beg you, it seems we can still discuss this properly. I know my actions went too far. But—”

“No ‘buts.’ Please present your defense later at the police station.”

When the officers tried to take her away, Savana resisted. She screamed, begging to be released.

“Please don’t arrest me like this. I don’t want to go to jail.”

Asher didn’t care. His patience had run out from being played around with heartless people like Savana.

“Please, Asher. I truly regret it. Please don’t imprison me,” Savana pleaded. “I’ll do anything. But please don’t arrest me, let alone put me in jail like this.”

Then Savana approached Asher. For the first time, she humbled herself, even kneeling down and begging for forgiveness from Asher.

“I’ll do anything. But please don’t imprison me. Have mercy on Alex.”

Asher grinned. He looked into Savana’s eyes as she knelt before him.

“Maybe I can be a little merciful. But there’s a fair price and you, Mrs. Savana, have to do it.”

“I’ll do anything as long as you don’t imprison me.”

Asher nodded. He asked Savana to rise. After that, he asked the woman along with the police officers to go to a place he wanted to visit this afternoon as well.

Once there, Asher asked Savana to follow. Entering a restaurant, he stood up and greeted everyone there.

“Good afternoon. Please pay attention for a moment.”

Everyone in the restaurant immediately turned their heads and focused their attention on Asher. Seconds later, he spoke again in a loud voice.

“I apologize if I’m disturbing the ladies’ event here. I came here just to convey something important that you all need to know.”

In one of the rows, there was Zendaya’s figure. Alden’s mother continued to watch and did not shift her gaze at all.

“I’m sure all of you ladies know this person.”

Then, Asher waved. Asking Savana to come to him, who was standing in the middle of the restaurant.

“Today…” Asher continued. “Mrs. Savana will clarify and reveal the truth about the rumors and slanders she has been spreading all this time.”

Whether she wanted to or not, Savana complied. She walked towards Asher. Then stood right in the middle.

Instantly, everyone there became excited. Waiting eagerly, what clarification Savana wanted to convey.
