Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 98 - Formula

"Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your phone." Said a flight attendant when she saw Aiden was still using his cell phone.

Aiden glared at her and terrified the flight attendant to the point she shut her mouth tightly. She immediately moved from the place, not daring to say anything else.

"Sir, I was just talking to Mr. Nico. He will live in his house, next to yours tonight. Do not worry!" Harris replied.

Aiden said calmly, "Three things. First, order the medicine that I used for burns and nerve healing for Anya's mother. Second, investigate the name of the villa owner of the Tedjasukmana Family. I will take it back for Anya. Third, replace out the relationship between Diana Hutama and Galih Pratama. The more details, the better."

"Yes sir!" Harris replied.

Anya turned and saw Harris stopping in his steps, not following her. She immediately rushed to him with worry, "What is wrong? What happened?" She asked.

"Mr. Aiden called to talk about business." Harris replied calmly, "Let's go home, Madame."

"Alright then." Anya replied as she nodded her head.

…

It was eleven o'clock in the evening when they arrived home. Anya had just gotten out of the car and was about to enter her house when she saw her father at the gate of her house.

"Anya...!" Shouted her father, trying to get Anya's attention.

Anya stepped forward and turned around. She saw her father was looking at her anxiously.

Hana immediately rushed out of the house and said to her, "Anya, your father comes to the house every day at eight at night. I asked him to leave because Aiden didn't want to see him, but he kept pushing and waiting outside the gate."

"Tell him to come in." Anya answered with a deep sigh. She turned around and went inside the house.

Anya and Deny sat on the sofa in the living room after Anya told Hana to invite her father in. Anya said coldly, breaking the silence between them, "I have to get up early tomorrow and go to work. Why don't you just call me? Aiden didn't like dad coming to this house. I can invite dad in because Aiden is away."

"I have something to show you." Deny took out his cellphone and showed Anya a photo.

Anya was not interested in seeing the photo at first. Why did her father come all the way to her house and wait every night just to show her this phone?

Did her father want to threaten her with an old photo?

Anya looked at the photo with a little restlessness and saw a yellowish paper with writings on it. It was a perfume formula.

"It's mom's perfume formula!" Anya shouted.

"I changed the bookshelf in my study and when the maid cleaned it, I found this note on the wall." Deny said.

"Where's the formula?" Anya asked excitedly.

"I keep it." Deny replied curtly. A faint smile crossed his face. He had Anya's weakness in his hand.

Anya felt cold in her heart. She knew her father would not return the formula to her easily.

"Dad, that perfume formula is my mother's dream. It is useless for you. Can you return it to us?" Anya was angry, but there was nothing she could do.

"Your mother is unconscious right now. When she wakes up, I'll go to her and give it myself." Deny replied, giving reasons so that he didn't have to hand over the formula to Anya.

Anya knew that her father was just making excuses. The longer the formula was in Deny's hands, the lower the value would be. Deny could have sold the recipe to someone else and when the recipe arrived in Anya's hands, it would all be meaningless.

"No one wants to buy that recipe from you except Imel. If you want to sell it to Imel Tahir, I will ask Aiden to destroy your entire family in this city." Said Anya in a cold voice. She would not remain silent seeing her father trying to destroy her mother's dream.

Deny trembled violently when he heard Anya's words, "What an insolent child. What good is it for you if the name of the Tedjasukmana Family is destroyed? Don't you also have the same name?"

"What's the deal with me? The wealth and success of the Tedjasukmana Family is useless to me. Then what does it have to do with me if the Tedjasukmana Family is destroyed?" Anya sneered, "I only care about my mother's formula!"

That was all Anya cared about. So far, her father did not care about her and only her mother loved her. Of course she would defend her mother's dream rather than her father's family who cared nothing about her.

"You ..." Deny glared sharply at Anya. But it was true that he had never cared about Anya all this time, so Anya was very disappointed in him.

He tried to suppress his emotions and give advice in a fatherly tone, "Anya, you followed Aiden and lived with him without having the same last name as him. This life of yours will not last long. Go home with dad. Go back to dad's house. Father will ask the Atmajaya Family to marry you."

"Back to dad's house?" Anya felt ridiculous when she heard her father's invitation, "Go back to dad's house and live in the attic again?"

"Anya, you are father's eldest daughter. How could dad let you live in the warehouse. Father has asked the servants to clean up your room. Go home and get Aiden's family to propose to our family properly. You will marry into the Atmajaya Family as the daughter of the Tedjasukmana Family. That way, no one will dare to look down on you anymore." Deny tried to like a good father. Too bad for him, Anya knew him very well.

What came out of her father's mouth was not for Anya's good, but for the benefit of her father and his family. Her father never put his interests aside for the happiness of others. For him, wealth, power and reputation were everything. He would not care about anything else and always put his interests first.

If it weren't for Aiden, Deny would have never cared about Anya.

Anya wanted to laugh out loud, pouring out all the bitterness in her heart, "I'm not that important to Aiden. What would you do if I returned to your house and it turned out that Aiden didn't want to propose to me?"

"Just by looking at what he did for you, we can all see how important you are to his heart. Of course he will propose to you and marry you." Deny replied confidently.

Everyone in this city already knew that Anya was Aiden's lover, but no one knew that Anya was Deny's daughter. Everyone thought that only their last name was the same. Even some people didn't know Anya's last name and Anya often used her mother's last name to introduce herself.

Deny had the advantage of being Anya's father because he could use Anya to work with Aiden.

But unfortunately, his biggest hope wouldn't even listen to him.

Still with the formula in his hand, Anya wouldn't dare go against him!

"I don't want to return to the Tedjasukmana Family's house. I also don't want to talk about marriage. I'm happy enough now. You can tell me directly, how do you want to give up that formula?" Anya asked in a cold voice. She didn't care anymore that her father's blood was still flowing in her body. Even her father didn't even care about her. Why should she maintain her unconditional love?

"I own land, but I don't have enough capital. Persuade Aiden to invest in the Tedjasukmana Family. If you succeed, I will give this formula and give you a portion of the profits." Deny proposed.

Anya listened to Deny's words and said, "I can't help you. Mahendra's family was also looking for Aiden, but Aiden said that he only wanted to buy land belonging to the Tedjasukmana Family and Mahendra Family. Aiden didn't want to cooperate with you to develop the land."

"If we sell the land, the Tedjasukmana Family will never be able to rise again. Anya, can you help dad? You're the only one dad can hope for." Deny begged her.

It was obvious that Anya knew.

But her father never cared about her. No matter how rich the Tedjasukmana Family was, it had nothing to do with her!

The prosperity of the Tedjasukmana Family would only gain Natali's favor, who was known as the only daughter of the Tedjasukmana Family.

Meanwhile, Anya didn't mean anything. Nobody even knew that she and Natali were sisters.

"I want to see that formula. I'm not sure it's the real recipe." Anya said. She must be careful when facing her father. The man was very cunning. She didn't want to fall into her father's tricks.

Deny showed the photo once again. This time he showed it in full, with Diana's signature and name under it. Anya could see the ingredients listed in the recipe.

Irises, bergamot orange essence, cananga flowers, orange blossoms, vanilla, lilies, orchids and various other familiar spices…

But Deny covered the percentages in the ingredients column so Anya couldn't see them!
