Chapter 416 - Unexpected Meeting

After the interview, Lisa is increasingly convinced that luck is on her side. How come? Her panel interview only took 20 minutes. She could even answer various kinds of professional questions.

This time, the interview was different from the one that Lisa had previously faced. For example, in the past, she entered various companies thanks to an insider. But now she enters one because of her own efforts.

The interviewers looked satisfied and wanted her to join their company as soon as possible. 

One of the women with bobbed dark brown hair nodded her head. She folded her arms on the table, gave a small smile, and said, "Alright. Seeing your CV and the way you answer questions, I am positive that you can be accepted here. But give us a few days to discuss further. Maybe we will contact you tomorrow or the day after."

"Thank you." Lisa replied politely. 

That afternoon, right after Lisa came out of the office building, the sun shone on her beaming face. The woman walked towards the bus stop with light steps. Feelings of happiness and satisfaction filled her to the point that she couldn't stop smiling.

But her smile disappeared as quickly as the snap of a finger when she saw the most disgusting man on earth! 

Lisa's footsteps suddenly froze, as if her shoes were stuck to the pavement. She frowned, not believing what she was seeing.

"What do you want, Gatot?" Lisa asked her father coldly.

Gatot's hands were tucked away in the pockets of his trousers. The disgusting man stepped closer to Lisa. He kept walking until finally there was no more distance between them, only then did the man stop.

"I said, what do you want, Gatot!?"

Lisa's right hand gripped her tote bag tightly. If the man walked closer to her, she would not hesitate to throw her tote bag in Gatot's face.

"Hey bitch, you don't have to act tough now. Karina and Veronica are living a miserable life because of you! I'm just here to ask you to pay the fine so they can get out of prison!"

With a red face, Gatot grabbed Lisa's wrist. It gave her goosebumps as she rarely came to physical contact with her father. And considering how disgusting her father was, it made Lisa shudder even more.

Lisa took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She pulled her hand away and hoped that the man would release his grip. But what could she do? She was still a woman whose strength was not comparable to Gatot's.

"Gatot, you've lost your mind, huh? Why did you suddenly come in front of me and ask me to pay a fine to get them out of jail? Do you know what they did to make them go to jail!?"

Gatot gripped Lisa's wrist even more. The woman was sure that her wrists would turn blue tomorrow.

"Look, I don't care what they did that made them go to jail. As far as I know, you must be deliberately accusing them until they end up in jail, right!? Because of you, my once harmonious family is now falling apart!"

Before Lisa could reply, Gatot continued, "You're really a shameless bitch! The news that Veronica and Karina are going to prison has spread everywhere, so no one wants to live in Veronica's boarding house! And we don't have any money to survive! Our only hope is Karina. My beautiful daughter has to work hard to support our family!"

"But you….!" Gatot continued passionately, "You even have the heart to put them in jail! Now my daughter won't be able to get into a good company because she's been branded an ex-convict!"

"Hey, are you listening to what you're saying right now? Why is this all my fault? Why are you acting as if we know each other? Take care of your own family because I have my own to take care of!"

Hearing the reply that came out of Lisa's lips made Gatot even more furious. He grabbed his daughter's wrist and pushed her against a brick wall in the narrow alley.

Lisa immediately screamed and pushed the man's chest.

"What are you doing!? Let go!"

"Hey bitch, you just don't have to say much. My family is now ruined because of you, and now I will take revenge! You know that your misery or that of your mother is a joy in itself for me, right?"

"All my little family needs is money, and you ruined everything!"

What Lisa did back then was self-defense! How could she just sit back and let those two ignorant women roam around and continue to interfere with her life? After all, weren't they only imprisoned for 6 months? What did the man mean by telling her to pay the fine to get the two women out of prison sooner?

Whether they go out now or in the next few months, it won't make a big difference, right? After all, people will still know them as ex-convicts.

And what? Gatot was willing to come all the way to see her here just to beg and say that? Huh, what a shame!

Lisa herself was embarrassed to know that the man in front of her was her real father!

She automatically closed her eyes when she saw the man raise his hand. Any fool would know what Gatot was about to do in a matter of seconds.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, Lisa kept her eyes closed and didn't feel the hot slap on her cheek. What made her feel strange was that the grip on her wrist was loosening more and more.

What happened?

Lisa opened her eyes slowly and saw that Gatot's right hand was being held by another man. Without thinking twice or seeing who was holding Gatot's hand, she pulled herself away from the man while stroking her sore wrist.

"Oscar!" Lisa said coldly. But the corners of the man's lips lifted upwards, like a wolf finally meeting its prey. "We haven't seen each other in a long time. What business do you have to appear in front of me?"

"What did you do to Lisa?" Oscar tilted his head to the side. His handsome face was cold, even colder than a lump of ice. His blue eyes stared intently at the face of the man he hated so much. "What's the matter that you dare to appear in front of Lisa?"

"Ah, ah, wait a minute! Am I not allowed to appear in front of my own child? Oscar, I'm not stupid. I know very well that you and this bitch are divorced. So go away and leave us alone! You can no longer interfere with our family matters!"

Actually, Gatot was afraid that he would have to face Oscar alone. The man was much taller than him, and the cold aura emanating from his body was able to bring him to his knees.

But he wouldn't easily show it to other people, especially Lisa and Oscar, that he was afraid.

"No one should touch or even hurt Lisa.. Divorced or not, I will protect her until the end of time."
