Chapter 98 - Crazy Girl
Shandra looked pityingly at Ethan who sat on the floor leaning against the front door of the room. Her brother-in-law looked down and squeezed his hair and looked messed up.
"Do you trust that crazy girl too?" Ethan asked without looking at Shandra.
"No," Shandra replied and sat beside Ethan. "Investigate first and don't panic too much. Let me calm Luna," she said.
"Thank you, for believing in me. Because I never knew her." Ethan looked down and rubbed his face.
"Maybe she was ruled by people who didn't like seeing you happy with Luna," said Shandra.
"Who you mean?" Ethan asked as he turned to Shandra.
"I don't know, but I always suspected at Edward," Shandra replied with a faint smile. because she could never stop prejudice against her younger sister's ex-lover.
"Edward? What is he doing this for? He's already happy with his life with Viona." Ethan doubts Shandra's accusations.
Shandra sighed and then glanced at Ethan who loved Edward too much as a brother. It made her feel bad if she continued to express her opinion about Edward. 'Maybe just let Arsha investigate Edward,' she thought.
Ethan rise to stand and said, "I will get the spare key so you can enter."
"Yes," replied Shandra.
Ethan immediately left Shandra and walked down the stairs to his workspace because all the spare keys of all the doors of his house are there. with lazy steps, he walked. His mind was confused, occasionally the man massaged his forehead because he felt dizzy.
As he crossed the living room, Ethan saw Andrew still sitting on the sofa playing with his smartphone. he immediately walked over to him and said, "You just go home, Drew. tomorrow I have an important task for you. "
"Yes, sir. Excuse me then." Andrew got up from the sofa and immediately walked out of the house.

Sarah walked in while trying to contact Edward to ask to be picked up because she didn't bring money to pay for a taxi. The wild girl walks in cursing upset at having been slapped by Shandra.
"Damn it! How dare she slap me. If it weren't for Edward, I wouldn't have been hit in the face by a woman like that witch." Sarah grumbled and tried to contact Edward
"Hello, Sarah. What's up," asked Edward from the phone.
"Pick me up, I'm near Ethan's house!" exclaimed Sarah curtly.
"Yes, well, I'll be there in a minute," said Edward.
Sarah immediately hung up on the phone, then sat on the edge of the asphalt while waiting for Edward to come.
Sarah played with her smartphone and opened her Instagram account. She stalked Viona's posts and chuckled like a crazy girl when she saw one of Viona's photos with Edward.
"What a pity, soon your husband will be mine, fussy Viona!" Sarah is grinning evilly at the photo. I don't know what she will do after she succeeds in making Ethan and Luna fight because of a misunderstanding. The wild girl seemed to have a more cunning plan to make Edward not just take advantage of her.
After nearly 20 minutes of waiting, Edward finally arrived in his sports car. He immediately came out and approached Sarah, who was still sitting on the side of the road and playing with her smartphone.
"Come on, I'll take you," said Edward, holding out his hand.
Sarah looked up and smiled at Edward. She immediately grabbed the man's ideal hand, then got up.
"I'm almost a mushroom waiting for you." Sarah grabbed Edward and hugged him, then whispered, "I did a good job tonight."
"Really?" Edward asked, releasing Sarah's embrace.
Sarah smiled and raised her eyebrows. Then she remembered when Shandra slapped her until her cheeks felt hot and flushed.
"But someone slapped me. Look at my cheeks, this all happened just because I wanted to help you," Sarah said spoiled.
"Poor thing, I'll repay your pain with a beautiful thing. Let's get in the car." Edward took Sarah by the hand and led her into the car. after that, he immediately drove to the apartment.
Edward deliberately took Sarah to his apartment. That was so Ethan wouldn't investigate Sarah, who was in cahoots with him.
"Well, this is not the direction to go to my home." Sarah glanced at Edward who was going to take her somewhere. "Where are we going?" She asked.
"To my apartment," said Edward.
Sarah shook her head incredulously and asked, "why over there?"
"You'll stay there until it's stable," Edward replied as he focused on driving. "Ethan could come to see you and force you to tell the truth. so you better live in an apartment," he continued.
"I haven't done my clothes yet." Sarah was uncomfortable. Moreover, she was still wearing jeans and a blouse that would not be comfortable to wear while sleeping.
"For that, you can shop, I'll give you money. there happened to be a boutique near the apartment," said Edward.
Sarah nodded in understanding and remembered what evidence Edward was looking for. She thought about joining in looking for that evidence too. Because with that Edward can be separated from Viona.
"If I may know, what evidence are you looking for?" asked Sarah.
"Only clothes," Edward replied.
"Maybe I can help find. Tell me what cloths I should find," Sarah exclaimed.
Edward did silent for a moment, then turned to look at Sarah and said, "You only need to find a jacket, jeans, hat, and mask."
"I'll find it for you soon," Sarah said with a reassuring smile and then leaned her head on Edward's shoulder.

Ethan opened the door to the room and invited Shandra to come in, while he remained outside because Luna would have thrown him out or was angry again if he came in.
When Shandra entered the room, Luna was crying curled up on her bed. She immediately approached her younger sister and sat on the edge of the bed.
Shandra looked at Luna's pity, who was already a big belly but got into trouble that could make her depressed. She became concerned about the health of the twins in the womb.
"Luna. Don't cry all the time. later you can get sick if you continue like this. you must Think, right now you are not alone, there are twins in your womb who could be disrupted if you continue to be sad."Shandra rubbed Luna's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Luna got up and sat down and looked at Shandra, then said, "how am I not sad, Sis. Ethan took his old lover back because he was getting ready to divorce me. What should I do if he was really like that?"
Shandra shook her head in response, "Do not easily trust other people than your husband who has always been patient with you. Don't you remember how you always ignore him, but he responds very patiently. He's a good man. I'm sure what the crazy girl said was all lies."
"But what she said was commensurate with what happened in the photo, Sis. Ethan picked up the girl and took her to a house, he even carried her as if he was making out. How could I not believe it?" Luna still corroborates her opinion on what she saw.
"He could have helped her at that time. Sometimes what looks different from what we think, Luna." Shandra continues to convince.
"If they have never known each other before, how did that girl know my early story with Ethan? Even though only you and my intimate people know it." Luna chose to lie back and cry again. She couldn't stop forgetting Sarah's words that Ethan had bought her an apartment so they could be alone. But the girl refused and Ethan raped her instead.
"Maybe Ethan is just a jerk who takes advantage of my drunken state because he didn't get the girl to his satisfaction," said Luna.
Shandra sighed, she shook her head and felt dizzy seeing Luna who continued to trust Sarah. "If Ethan was like that, maybe he wouldn't marry you, Luna. If he was a jerk, then he could have argued that the baby in your womb was not his child, because you have no proof."
"He ruined my career!" Luna even brought up her dim career after marrying Ethan. She recalls how the media carried bad news about her.
"But he makes you happy, right? You love him because of his sincerity. Then why do you still crave the fate of your career? he can even give everything you want!" Shandra insists.
