Chapter 587 - Its Not That Simple (1/2)
Imel had done a lot of bad deeds, but Bima still kept her by his side until now. But it wasn't because he still loved Imel. He only cared about Ivan's feelings.
Once Ivan showed his true ambition and made Bima disappointed, what would happen to him?
Maybe he and his mother would be kicked out of the Atmajaya Family. Imel would remain Bima's mistress for the rest of her life, and Ivan the illegitimate child.
Anya didn't want Aiden and Ivan to compete. She felt she had to warn Ivan before he made a big mistake.
”Anya, do you really care about me or do you just want me not to compete with Aiden?” Ivan looked at Anya with a smile.
”I care about you, brother. You're a kind and warm person. I don't want you to be hurt,” Anya said sincerely.
She was being honest with her heart. Ivan would never be able to compete with Aiden because Aiden was not alone. He had Maria as well as Nico.
That would mean Ivan's opponent was not only Aiden, but also Nico.
Ivan's true abilities were not below Aiden's. He had extraordinary abilities and skills that might rival Aiden. But since he had such a woman as his mother, he could only hold back and didn't show his abilities.
Aiden and Nico still accepted Ivan at the Atmajaya family because Ivan was always humble. Bima also felt guilty towards him and tried to give him the same care.
However, once Ivan wanted to compete with Aiden, their family would fall apart. Bima would prefer his family over his lover and son. In the end, Ivan and Imel would have a tragic end.
Ivan smiled and his eyes fell on Tara's stomach. ”I know Tara isn't pregnant. Nico is just trying to keep me from marrying Raisa.”
Anya and Tara looked at each other. Ivan himself also knew that Nico was only trying to prevent him and Raisa from getting married, but he did not expose his nephew's lies in front of Bima.
In that case, Anya and Tara had nothing to say anymore. In the meantime, they could still be sure that Ivan was not on his mother's side.
Ivan looked at Anya with a smile. He remembered he had just received news that Aiden was sick. His illness could cause him to be put in a coma or temporary blindness.
If Ivan wanted to replace Aiden, now was the right time. Ivan was not afraid of Nico because he was still very childish. He couldn't even take care of himself.
Aiden on the other hand was a whole different case. He was the real deal.
However, Anya had just called him a kind and warm brother. She didn't want him to get hurt.
If he seized the power and wealth of the Atmajaya Family, who could harm him?
But would he lose Anya's pure love if he did?
The whole Atmajaya Family would fight against him and Anya would be disappointed in him. He would turn into the same person as his mother.
And Ivan didn't want all of that to happen to him.
Would it worth losing the people he loved for the sake of wealth and power?
”Don't worry, dad wants the Atmajaya family to be harmonious and I agree with him. If I want to compete with Aiden, I don't think even Aiden will be able to stop me,” Ivan stretched out his hand and stroked Anya's head gently. ”Your brother will always be there and will never change.”
Anya smiled and nodded.
Ivan stared at her silently.
He muttered in his heart, 'Anya, you will never know what I am willing to give up so as not to destroy my figure as big brother Ivan in your heart!'
Ivan had given up everything he should've owned.
Strength, wealth, power…
Only for Anya's sake. Only for the sake of maintaining his brotherly figure in Anya's heart.
”I heard that you will be participating in a perfume competition in May. How's your preparation?” Ivan asked.
”I experiment every day in the perfume room. I've got an idea, but I'm still trying to perfect it,” Anya said.
