Seeing Aliana struggling, his men immediately moved to protect her and led them outside. The pair could recognize the men by the clothes they were wearing, before they looked at each other and nodded slowly.
They also left the place, then got into a car and headed to a large company in the city.
"Brother, I found a woman and boy who look a lot like you!"
A man with a dominant aura and looking so handsome sat on a black hydraulic chair. He turned his head when the door was opened by his sister, before snorting.
"Have some manners if you want to enter the president director's office! Don't act like you have no manners!"
Jayden Abram Holmes, a thirtysomething man who looked so handsome with his mature look. He was wearing a shirt with two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to the limit, with a hawk-like glare that looked ready to crush anyone in its path.
"Are manners still required here? I'm informing you that I found a boy who looks a lot like you! You see, I have the video! I've sent it to your number."
Jordy Nikcol Holmes, the man was Abram's younger brother who was quite obsessed with all the treasures and also the high position like the president director that was currently being held by his older brother. Even though they were brothers, Jordy was always trying to bring his brother down to take over the company because he was never given more than he could handle. His late father never believed in his abilities because he always thought of him as a child who liked to play around.
"Go to your room and don't bother me, have you made copies of the files as requested by your seniors? How can you take over this company from me, if you're still playing around with what your seniors ask you to do." Abram said with a flat, uncaring face, making Jordy snort in annoyance.
"You're so annoying!"
Abram looked at him who just walked away without saying anything else. He opened the message sent by Jordy earlier, saw a video showing the mall and soon a boy and a young woman were seen in the camera and Jordy even zoomed in on the boy's face.
"Damn, she's pregnant. Why did I have to take her out at that time, you bastard!"
Abram intended to calm down while looking for a way to take care of this matter. However, this matter must not spread any further, let alone get caught by the Holmes family head, his grandfather would be furious because of the scandal he had committed.
That night was a mistake, he should not have carelessly entered a room. Still remembering the remnants of his consciousness at that time, Abram entered a room and fought with a man until the man was beaten and fled from the room he entered. Meanwhile, inside was a woman under the influence of stimulants.
Grabbing his cell phone, Abram contacted his confidant for an assignment.
"Find out who the woman is with the boy who looks like me in the video I'm about to send you," he ordered firmly, not wanting anyone to contradict him.
"Yes, sir."
Just as Abram was feeling calmer but then just two hours later, his grandfather called and that let him know that something had happened.
"Hurry back home, you must give an explanation to the Holmes family, Jayden Abram!"

"Those are the bodyguard outfits of the Maherson family's men. They have rarely been seen in recent years and I had forgotten about the Maherson family's only daughter who is the family's main heir. Look at the video, she's very similar to Young Miss Maherson who has been so secretive that no one could get any news about her." Rosita, Abram and Jordy's mother, enthusiastically gazed at the footage Jordy had taken.
Even with their extensive access, they were able to get a CCTV video of the incident at the mall. Their family was indeed wealthy and number one in the city, second only to the Maherson family who were none other than their coworkers who always gave them the best profits throughout the year.
"Is she Aliana Maherson? The only daughter of that family?" asked Jhonson Holmes, the head of the Holmes family.
"That's right, Dad. I've only met her twice, on her 20th birthday and the company's wedding anniversary. Gosh, if it's true that she's been carrying the child and raising it all this time, we're doing their family a great disservice." Rosita said with a sad look. "How can you not know who you slept with that night, Abram?"
Abram with his cold and gripping aura seemed to snort softly. "I don't remember because I was drunk, when I woke up the next morning she was gone too. Why would I care and find out, she never even came to hold me accountable," he snorted lazily.
"You insolent man! You did that to a respectable girl! What made you so upset about answering your mother's question?" snapped Jhonson, making Abram clench his fists.
"Because she broke up with Silvia! Silvia thinks I betrayed her! Is that something I should care about while I'm losing my girlfriend?!"
"Are you out of your mind?!" Jhonson looked so angry. "Silvia even only wanted your money for all the years you had a relationship! She never wanted you to marry her for fear of getting into a rich family that would only make her look like a fool! I don't care! I've already made an appointment with the Maherson family and you have to marry that family's daughter no matter what!"

That same afternoon, the Holmes family came to the Maherson family residence. Previously, Johnson had gotten David and Senia to open the door of the Maherson residence to receive them.
"Regarding the news that spread, we are very apologetic about it, but here we are the ones who are harmed because the child looks very similar to Abram, the main heir of our family. That's why we've come to set the record straight," Johnson said as he looked at Aliana, who sat flanked by her parents. "Child, is it true that you conceived and gave birth to Abram's child? How did you come to experience that unfortunate tragedy?"
Aliana took a breath and tried to calm herself down. She glanced at Abram who looked so flat. The compassionless young businessman, she somehow managed to deal with that temperamental man.
"Han is not Mr. Abram's son," Aliana said in a slightly nervous voice, while Abram stared at her with a sharp gaze. "That night I was set up by a man of my acquaintance, I was r***d and Han is his son. I never had any relationship with Mr. Abram at all."
"In Lavender hotel room 27, right?"
Aliana looked at Rosita, then swallowed and nodded. "Yes, at the Lavender hotel. But the Lavender hotel is not just one room, ma'am."
Rosita smiled. "We know, but that night Abram was also drunk and went into the same room as yours. He beat up the man you were with, then took his place without you realizing it."
"Huh? Really?"
