Your silence is killing me
EP.129 A Punishment

James was still silent because there were too many things he did not know. Who knows Lyra is still alive with the identity of Daphny Ivander who is the younger brother of Ben. Then Sammy, the man he tortured and forced to marry his daughter because of the slander of his own daughter was his biological son with Daphny. Those pieces of fact evaporated and managed to make him realize his stupidity all along.

With the rest of his men, James asks them to search for the three perpetrators who have abused his daughter. And for Wendy, James had no idea what was in his daughter's mind and what punishment his daughter deserved because she also had to face the harsh reality of being abused by unknown men.

Slowly James began to rise and realize from all his daydreams. However, he found his mother at his place.

"Where's Sammy?" ask mom.

"Mom..why do you know that kid?" asked James not to believe even his real mother knew about Sammy.

"Although I'm slow because of my age, but I'm not stupid like you.Well tell me where my granddaughter is?" ask Vina annoyed.

"He's gone with Daphny and Kenzo." said James.

"I won't forgive your bad deeds.You can beat your own son and not recognize the daughter you've been caring for all this time" said Vina.

"I will punish you after seeing the condition of my granddaughter" said Vina and left the place.

Again and again James was slapped by the fact that his stupidity was no longer forgivable. Maybe after this, he will lose the rights to the company. Not to mention the exact lawsuit Ben and Mr. Tian filed against him.

"So I'm this stupid?? how could my Wendy fool me.." muttered James inwardly.

James returned to the office and solved various problems. To be forcibly picked up by the authorities for his actions. The entire staff knew what his boss was doing. And slander what James did to Sammy. Indirectly, Wendy's disgrace was dragged into accusing Sammy of harassing her.

The office people also praised Wendy who could still sit quietly after being harassed by 3 men. Everyone started gossiping blatantly and Wendy finally heard it.

"How can the woman stay sitting sweet after being harassed by 3 men?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to live."

"Yes, at least I won't be that calm."

"I don't think she's normal, there's no fear in her life.."

"Maybe because he knew his father was rich and had everything."

"You're right, he even forgot how to feel ashamed and sick."

"If I must have been severely traumatized and embarrassed.."

That's how Wendy heard all the words coming out of James' office staff. James is now in custody and he can still sit sweet in his office. Wendy immediately leaves the office and visits her detained father for interrogation.

"What have I done?? why is dad arrested? isn't it dr. Sammuel??" he murmured in the heart.

Elsewhere, it appears Sammy is undergoing intensive care due to injuries he received from James and his men. Devi who had been notified immediately came to the hospital.

"Aunty.. uncle..how's the condition?" ask Devi who just arrived.

"Sammy just sleeps tired, but there's no serious injury" Kenzo said.

"Thank God I'm sorry for the guard at my house less that morning." said Devi.

"No Devi, you've done your best.you've even been hurt to protect her." said Daphny.

"How's grandfather? does he know?" ask Kenzo.

"He must know what I'm doing without me reporting to him. It's likely he'll move without telling me either." said Devi.

"We're also going to move, see what Sammy's going through I'm not going to stand idly by and get beaten up what's wrong with my son?" daphny said crying.

"Look, baby, Ben's taking care of it." said Kenzo.

Suddenly, Vina entered the room.

"Sammy. my granddaughter." said Vina came to see Sammy's wounds.

"Mrs Vina." said Kenzo and Daphny.

"I'm sorry, I should have been able to protect her as well" Vina said.

"No, it's James' fault." said Daphny loudly.

"You're right.. How are his injuries.?" ask Vina.

"It's not bad and there's no serious injury, but Sammy needs time to recover" Kenzo said.

"He's not only a stupid husband but also a stupid father, it must be my fault for not teaching him anything" Vina said.

"Yes, I know just do it." said Vina.

Devi who was there was silent to see Miss Devina Clinton coming. Unexpectedly, her grandmother did not even worry about her daughter and only worried about her granddaughter. Devi is grateful that Sammy is surrounded by good people around her.

Elsewhere, James is being interrogated by law enforcement. And his lawyer helped ease his sentence. James also admitted all his actions without anything being covered up. Be it the demands of Mr. Tian or Ben, James also admitted all his actions until his lawyer fell silent.

After his interrogation, his lawyer asked why James was doing all this.

"I'll accept all my punishment because I'm wrong." James said.

"But sir, what about your company?"

"My mom will take care of it." James replied.

James atoned for all his sins in prison, and confessed them. His lawyer could only handle Mr. Tian's case by paying a fine. But for the slander case as well as the beating for Sammy seems difficult. But the lawyer will still help James.

Until Wendy came to visit him.

"Dad.. What's going on?" ask Wendy.

"When it's like this you pretend you don't know anything" James said.

"What does dad mean?" ask Wendy.

"Do you remember what happened that night?" ask James.

"I just remember being with Dr. Sammuel." said James.

"Lord's lawyer show me the video." James asked.

The lawyer shows the video and Wendy can finally see what really happened. Wendy also does not believe, it turns out the words of the people in his office are right if the person who harassed him were three foreign men.

"Do you know what your mistake was?" ask James.

"Dad. what should I do" said Wendy.

"Nothing, because I'm guilty and won all the consequences of trusting you" James said.

"Dad.I'm sorry.I was stupid and blinded by love." said Wendy.

"Yes, and one more.. Sammuel is your brother and you will never be together" James said to surprise Wendy.

"What does dad mean?" ask Wendy.

"He's your stepbrother, remember that's fine." said James.

"Don't tell me he's the son of another woman?" ask Wendy.

"You're right, he's your own brother. And I've beaten him mercilessly. Can you imagine what guilt I have to endure?" james asked annoyed.

"Dad.it's all because of me." said Wendy crying.

"Yes.you should be honest with me and follow my words, but you're following your mother's path which is obviously bad" James said.

"Your grandmother will take care of the company and everything.dad will be here until the verdict is out" James said.

James was arrested by the authorities. And Wendy herself just cried realizing all her actions until her chest languished in prison. Then he came home tired of the facts that happened today.

Meanwhile, Ben comes to visit James.

"You've realized what you've done?" ask Ben.

"Yes..how's Sammy doing?" ask James.

"You're worried now?" reply Ben smiled annoyedly.

"I will face his punishment but will not be able to see it because of the sin I have committed" James said.

"Yes. atone for your sins here." said Ben and left.

"Ben wait, how's the condition??" shouted James.

"You have a lot of eyes, right? try to figure it out for yourself." said Ben.

James then found out how Sammy was doing. Then asked the three men who had abused his daughter. The three men have not been found. Regrets for regrets were also experienced by James. How his ex-wife still lives with his son in silence, then he accuses and beats his own son because of his carelessness that does not check everything properly. The guilt in his heart was more painful than the prison sentence he received.
