Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 20 - Help

"What's the matter with suddenly looking for me?" Anya asked frankly. She no longer wanted to make small talk with Deny.

"Father needs your help. I heard that now you are close to Aiden Atmajaya." said Deny. ​​

Anya was outraged. It turned out that this was the reason her father was looking for her!

Deny didn't even ask how she was, or how her mother was doing. He only came after hearing the news that Anya had a relationship with Aiden.

"Dad's company is in bad shape. Dad needs help. Can you ask Aiden to cooperate with dad's company?" He begged. Deny knew that Anya was an innocent girl and his daughter loved him so much. If he met her face to face, asking for help face to face with him, Anya would surely melt and be willing to help him. Unfortunately for him, Anya was not that stupid.

"I can't help father." said Anya firmly.

Deny was stunned when he heard Anya's answer. He did not think Anya would refuse his request. He thought, with just a little pitiful look, his daughter would be willing to help him.

"Why can't you? You're close to Aiden." Deny tried to remain patient. He inhaled and exhaled slowly, as if holding back the anger that was about to overflow from his heart.

"I have nothing to do with Aiden's work. If you need help, you can come directly to his office yourself. Don't look for me!" Anya answered.

"But you are his lover. If you ask Aiden, surely Aiden will want to help you." Deny tried to convince her once again. It felt like his anger was on the edge and about to overflow. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, showing his veins.

Anya could see that her father was angry, but she couldn't do anything. Even though she didn't feel annoyed at her father, her status as Aiden's wife might only be temporary. Plus, she owed Aiden a debt. How could she ask Aiden for help like this?

"I can't, Dad. I really can't interfere in Aiden's work affairs." Anya's tone softened. She tried to explain that it wasn't that she didn't want to help her father, but because she really couldn't.

"Then, can you give your land for interest so that your father's company doesn't go bankrupt?" Deny tried to negotiate with her. Deny knew that Diana still had a land for her flower garden and that land was quite important. If he couldn't replace cooperation with the Atmajaya Family, that land alone would be enough to help him with his work.

Anya looked at her father in disbelief, "Father! The land belongs to the mother!" She raised her voice a little. She felt her father really had the heart. When her mother fell ill, her father refused to help. But at times like this, her father asked for land that belonged to her mother.

Deny didn't like the tone of her daughter's voice, but right now he really needed help. He restrained himself from bursting into anger and tried to persuade Anya.

"Yes, I know. But now your father really needs it." Deny said, trying to look apologetic and begged Anya.

Seeing her father's current condition, Anya honestly felt sorry. All this time, she had known her father as a firm and authoritative figure. She never saw her father begging like this. Still, the land was part of her dream. She needed the land to fulfill her dream of becoming a perfumer.

"Dad, it's not like I don't want to help." Anya sounded very uncertain. She tried to explain that the two things Deny asked for were beyond her limits.

She couldn't ask Aiden for help anymore because she owed him a lot. It's the same as not knowing your place if she asked for his help again. Moreover, she knew that the money needed by his father was not small.

She just couldn't give up her mother's land. She needed the land to make a living. She needed it to achieve her goals.

Maybe, if she explained carefully, her father would understand.

"Father, I need that land to achieve my dream as a perfumer. I need my own resources to plant flowers if I want to create my own perfume" Anya's tone softened.

However, Anya's gentleness couldn't calm the anger in Deny's heart. His clenched fists hit the table hard, making Anya gasp in shock. The surrounding people also started looking at them curiously.

Anya could only nod slightly and apologized to the people around her because she and her father had disturbed them. However, her father did not care about their surroundings at all.

"What an insolent child. I've been trying to be patient. You are the one who broke Aiden and Natali's engagement. If only that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have asked you for help like this!" Deny shouted at her, making the whole cafe stare at them.

Anya could only stare at her father. Deny also blamed her for what Natali had done to her. None of this was her fault! All of this was Natali's doing!

"But I ..." Anya tried to explain everything to her father.

"You are just like your mother. You always think of yourself. You are always number one, while your own father means nothing to you." Deny didn't want to listen to Anya's explanation at all. He kept cutting Anya's words with his insults.

The man's eyes and face were slightly red due to the anger he felt. He also shouted loudly that veins appeared on his forehead. His scream sounded loud enough in the room that everyone turned their heads to watch them. A cafe waiter rushed to call their manager, while several other waiters wanted to intervene, but they were scared.

"How could I have a daughter without dignity like you. You've seduced Natali's fiancé…"

"DAD!" shouted Anya, "Never once did I try to seduce Natali's fiancé. This is Natali's own doing. What evidence do you have that you can insult me ​​like this?" Anya's limit of patience was up. She could not allow herself to be publicly humiliated without doing anything about it. Even though Deny's blood was flowing in her body, that man had gone too far. What kind of father could treat his own daughter like this?

"Many photos have been spread on the internet. Why are you still in denial?" Deny shouted even louder. If they weren't in public now, he would have slapped Anya hard. How insolent this girl, dared to shout back at him in public.

"Natali set me up! She spiked my drink and sent me to Aiden's room. Why should I be the one to blame for all of this?"

Anya's answer sounded absurd to Deny's ears, making him even more furious. His hands were shaking, trying to stop himself from slapping his daughter in public. He did not think he had such a cheap daughter. In addition, Anya did not want to admit her mistakes and instead blamed her own sister.

"Don't excuse yourself! If my company goes bankrupt, all of it is your fault! " shouted Deny, denying Anya's explanation.

The two of them had a big fight so they didn't realize that another figure was approaching them.

That figure was Natali.

Natali had been following her father when she learned that his father was going to meet Anya. Actually, she was just in for fun and wanted to know how Anya was at this time. To be precise, after his half-sister was branded as a usurper of someone else's fiancé.

No ... Actually, she wanted to see Anya feel miserable.

During this time, she felt that Anya's life was very calm and peaceful. She was loved by so many people and never felt bad. Her life was so beautiful that it made her feel jealous. She really wanted to see Anya suffer.

However, she did not expect to see Anya come so elegantly. Her clothes were looking very beautiful and expensive. Plus, that bag! It was the limited-edition bag that she wanted! Why did Anya have it?

From a distance, Natali grit her teeth in annoyance. Why didn't Anya look sad? Why didn't it work as she planned?
