Chapter 271 - 271 ( Reason )

Harry started to tell him everything from start to finish. About how their complicated incidents happened. And how about Julia lived her youth all this time. Harry had already explained the process of Jenny's investigation openly without hiding anything.

Muliawan felt his heart flutter.

He didn't know how to react and how he could believe all the weirdness. The two pairs eventually met. Cultivating a different vibe after Muliawan tried to open his heart and lessen his suspicions.

Muliawan then asked Julia to come closer.

"Come here. And say something to make me more convinced."

Julia took longer than expected to make herself move. She was too anxious and afraid of making mistakes. So she hesitated to take a step.

Julia also didn't know how much she had been holding her breath. Feeling tight and shaking. She finally plucked up the courage to step forward and approach.

Julia then introduced herself politely and lacked confidence.

"I am Julia. I don't know how I can convince you. However, when I saw the results of the DNA test, I was the same as you. I was shocked and couldn't believe it. But, they gave me confidence. Then..."

Julia stared at the wooden floor of Muliawan's study.

Muliawan's interest was getting increased when he heard Julia speak and after he saw her up closer. Those brown eyes are similar to Daissy's though it was darker. Muliawan asked a question similar to Harry's when Julia was being questioned by him.

"Who kidnapped you and hide you?"

Julia lifted her face.

"My adoptive father was innocent. And I'm indebted to him. So don't blame him. Then, he didn't kidnap me at all!"

This confidence and trust inspired Muliawan to find out more.

"However, if so. Why was he so daring not to return you to us?"

Harry helped Julia with a brief explanation.

"He's tried it before. But, failed. He had already reported Julia to the police. But the police at that time were very chaotic and unreliable also underestimated Julia's adoptive father. Because her adoptive father had once a prisoner."

Julia frowned then looked at Harry.

"What does it mean? Then, are you making up stories?"

Julia does not accept that her adoptive father's good name was damaged in an attempt to gain Muliawan's trust. She looked at Harry very dissatisfied.

"I'm not lying or making up stories. I've told the truth. Then, your father did have a criminal record with the police."

Julia's neck became tense.

"Just a simple matter. Ah, not. Maybe it's a pretty serious problem. Because your adoptive father stole and was thrown into prison for what he did."

Julia felt her cheeks heat up with anger.

"I can't believe it," Julia said confidently and quietly. She hissed too.

Harry kept on telling the truth about what happened.

"That's how it is. Therefore, when your father came to the police station. No one believed him and doubted all his words because of his previous criminal record. Then, for that reason too, he was transferred from his job to another city. After the company found out about the bad record in his old office through their connections."

Julia was at a loss for words. Harry chuckled.

"But, you take it easy. All of that happened because he was just a victim. He didn't really become a thief. He didn't embezzle the company's money. And he was only framed by his closest friends."

Julia's eyes filled with tears.

"What do you mean?"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"He was punished for something he didn't do. The real culprit was his closest officemate. Then, it was he who threw all the evil he had done to your adoptive father."

Muliawan felt his head spinning.

"What is this? Why do we need to talk about that useless guy now?"

Julia was relieved by Harry's news. She fully believed that her adoptive father was a good man. That's why she was so hurt when someone said bad things about her father. Then, she felt very relieved and pleased when she finally found out a new fact that did not bring down her adoptive father.

Julia gave Harry a grateful look for being willing to share this story with her. Harry recalled what Dirga had told him. He couldn't have found this shocking information from anyone other than Dirga.

Even his secretary regretted this situation.

"Would you like to know the real reason why the police did not comply with the statement of Miss Julia's adoptive father, sir?"

At that moment, Harry thought they had all the information they had. However, Dirga turned out to be re-investigating whole the relevant interesting information. Found out more about the origins of Apollo.

The surprising thing finally Dirga shared with his Young Master.

"He was listed as one of the heavy class criminals. Continued to work from company to company to steal office money and commit some mischief for personal gain. It was because of that bad record that none of the police wanted to believe him. And, ignored him."

The puzzling mystery was finally solved. So, did not be surprised if Apollo finally decided to save Jenny's life just alone. Taken care of and raised him like his own child.

So, by the time Harry had heard Dirga's information. Harry immediately issued an order.

"Clear Apollo's bad name. Then catch the real culprit."

Dirga agreed to Harry's order. He immediately made an appointment with the police. And asked them to re-investigate the Apollo case. And helped them find the real culprit.

The problem was finally resolved with the successful arrest of the original perpetrator. And the criminal record was immediately deleted by the police along with their apology.

Harry then glanced at Muliawan.

"Julia's adoptive father passed away a few years ago. Julia is forced to live alone. And worked part-time to make ends meet. So, the day she met my wife. That day became a point of happiness and luck for her."

Harry skipped the story on the part of Julia who was often abused by her boyfriend. It's hard to break free from a hard-hearted man like Mike. Julia was delighted and grateful that Harry had purposely missed that part.

Muliawan felt his heart was getting hurt.

He does have a heart of steel. However, if something related to the core family touches a sensitive point. Muliawan is still an ordinary human being. He has a heart that can melt. And he also felt very guilty.

Muliawan got up and approached Julia.

At first, he was doubtful. But after seeing how Julia looked at him. He realized there was a great joy hidden in those beautiful brown eyes. Muliawan also kept remembering his late wife several times when they were close to each other.

Julia involuntarily shed tears.

"I have no solid evidence that I am your daughter, other than the DNA test results. However, Harry never lied that they were indeed a savior for me."

Muliawan touched Julia's face. He hesitated between whether he should believe in this beauty. Or again doubt this mirage.

17 years have passed. Then how the story of all these coincidences and luck can happen? When, Muliawan had even given up on that great hope?
