My Supermodel Wife

"Not! Of course not!" Merry answered quickly, "I swear that I became your assistant of my own accord! Aunt Sasha doesn\'t even know that I work for you!"

Lilia was silent for a moment as she tried to process Merry\'s words. She realized that there was something important in the young woman\'s words.

But Merry took Lilia\'s silence as a sign that the woman didn\'t believe her. She continued in a panic, "If it weren\'t for Aunt Sasha seeing me at the studio last night, she wouldn\'t have known I was with you! If only I had stayed in the changing room, this would not have happened…" Merry\'s voice faded at the end of her sentence.

Lilia secretly let out a sigh of relief. Other people might think that she was naive because she just believed Merry\'s words, but Lilia knew who Merry was. She knew that Merry was the one who could not lie the most. So hearing the young woman\'s answer made Lilia relieved.

She took another plate of food and leaned back on the sofa in a relaxed manner, "Did you meet Sasha at the film studio?" Lilia asked casually.

Seeing Lilia\'s relaxed attitude helped Merry calm down, "Yes, we met in front of your dressing room. I don\'t know how Auntie Sasha got there, but she suddenly grabbed my shoulder! I was so scared that I almost screamed!" Merry explained while demonstrating the events of that night.

Lilia listened to Merry\'s story with great interest. She remembered that Sasha had said that she was going to Jakarta to meet her sister. However, that woman appeared in the film studio where Lilia was filming. Was it just a coincidence? Lilia couldn\'t believe it!

Even if Sasha was on vacation in Jakarta, why would that woman enter the building until she reached the shooting location? In addition, among the many film crews filming at this studio, Sasha was able to find the building Lilia was using and even find her dressing room.

"I heard that the investors for this film came to visit and Mr. Louis is meeting them at the moment."

Shirley\'s words yesterday crossed Lilia\'s mind. At that moment, the existing puzzle pieces began to form a picture. Could it be that the investor for this film was Sasha?

Lilia spooned out her food as she kept thinking about that possibility. The more she thought about it, the more plausible that theory was. If Sasha did fund this film, no wonder she wanted Lilia to play the female side character!

Merry straightened up and watched Lilia anxiously. The model\'s expression kept changing, as if she was thinking about something important. Seeing that made Merry\'s heart pound again.

She waited until Lilia said something, but the woman didn\'t open her mouth. Merry couldn\'t hold back anymore and moved beside Lilia. She leaned over so that her face was right in front of Lilia.

"Sis Lilia, now you believe in me, right?" Merry asked in a hopeful voice.

Lilia was so shocked that she almost dropped her plate. She placed her plate carefully on the table before stroking Merry\'s head.

"Of course I believe in you." Lilia seriously said, "I never doubted your words."

The words made a big smile cross Merry\'s face. But Lilia\'s next words brought Merry back to reality.

"But what are you going to do now, Merry?"

The young woman lowered her head when she heard the question. She\'d been asking herself the same thing ever since meeting Sasha last night!

The question not only stressed Lilia and Merry, but also the three people who were sitting in the café.

After Jean and Chris left the room, they went to the small café located at the front of the hotel. The two of them just ordered a cup of coffee each while waiting for the two women to finish talking. Almost half an hour had passed and their coffee had turned cold.

Chris folded his legs and supported his chin with one hand. His other hand held the sixth cigarette he had smoked. He felt that since he met Merry, his smoking habit had gotten worse. But he wasn\'t sure what had caused it himself.

Compared to Chris, whose feet were constantly tapping the floor, Jean looked more relaxed. He leaned back on the chair and exhaled the cigarette smoke.

Meanwhile, Clifford sat perched on the edge of his chair. He hadn\'t said a word since they arrived at the café. His face that was always expressionless now looked worried.

After all this time, Chris finally couldn\'t hold back anymore. He kicked the table\'s leg, spilling the untouched coffee. The black liquid stained the snow-colored tablecloth.

"Did you really just find out today that Merry is Lilia\'s assistant?" Chris demanded, glaring at Jean.

He couldn\'t believe that shit! The Widjaya family\'s main strength was their information network. Compared to other extended families, the Widjaya family\'s information network was the best of all. Not a single thing could be hidden from them.

Despite this, Jean did not like to show off his abilities in public. If not, all the detective offices in Surabaya would have gone bankrupt.

Hearing that question, Jean\'s gaze shifted towards his best friend. Instead of answering, the man tapped his cigarette butt against the edge of the ashtray in a lazy motion, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chris threw his cigarette into the ashtray, then turned to the burly man, "Clifford, did you hear what your boss said just now? Are you going to let him play dumb about this?" He sharply said.

Clifford looked up at the call of his name, but he kept his mouth shut tight. He\'s just a bodyguard. What did Chris expect from him?

Chris snorted and returned his gaze to the blonde haired man, "Jean, don\'t play dumb with me. I can\'t believe you just found out about Merry today. Even before you married Lilia, didn\'t you investigate everyone around her?" Chris accused.

The man did not carelessly accuse Jean. He knew very well that his best friend was like a lion hiding his claws. Jean always made sure everything was well planned before doing anything. How could he not know that Merry was hiding her identity and working as Lilia\'s assistant?

Chris\'s stubbornness finally overcame Jean\'s patience. The fourth son of the Widjaya Family sighed before answering, "Very well, I have known about Merry since the first time she became Lilia\'s assistant. Are you satisfied?"

Chris pounded the table with a triumphant expression. His face seemed to scream, \'I know my guess was right!\'

Even Clifford looked at Jean in surprise. Then, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly lowered his gaze.

Jean shrugged with an indifferent expression, "Instead of worrying about it, how about you think of a way to explain this situation to Samuel?"

Samuel Hiroshi, Sasha\'s eldest brother and head of the Hiroshi Family, was a figure that everyone was afraid of. Even Jean was reticent when it came to him. However, no one thought that Merry was actually Samuel\'s daughter.

Merry was raised as Sasha\'s younger sister. In the public\'s eye, she was the youngest daughter of the respectable Hiroshi Family. The family hid the fact that Merry was actually Samuel\'s illegitimate child. No one knew who her mother was, not even Merry herself.

Samuel was only 18 years old when Merry was born. The man did not tell anyone about his daughter and sent Merry to be raised by foster parents.. Even Erika, Samuel\'s legal wife, didn\'t know about Merry until the day the man took over the leadership of the Hiroshi Family and took the little girl home.
