Help

"Why did you ask to meet me suddenly?" Luliyah asked with seriousness. She wanted her father to stop beating around the bush and go straight to why he wanted to see her.

"Father needs your help. I heard that you are close to Kelvin Williams." The man said.

Luliyah was so furious. The reason why her father wanted to meet her was because of Kelvin.

The man didn't even ask how she was, or how her mother was doing. He only came after hearing the news that Luliyah had a relationship with Kelvin.

"Dad's company is in bad shape. Dad needs help. Can you ask Kelvin to cooperate with dad's company?" He begged. Martins knew that Luliyah was an innocent girl and his daughter loved him so much. If he met her face to face, she will definitely be willing to help him. Unfortunately for him, Luliyah was not stupid.

"I can't help, Father." Luliyah said firmly.

Martins was stunned when he heard Luliyah's answer. He did not think Luliyah would refuse his request. He thought with just a little pitiful look, his daughter would be willing to help him.

"Why can't you? You're close to Kelvin." Martins tried to remain patient. He inhaled and exhaled slowly, as if holding back the anger that was about to be unleashed.

"I have nothing to do with Kelvin's work. If you need help, you can go directly to his office yourself. Don't look for me." Luliyah replied her father.

"But you are his lover. If you ask Kelvin, he will surely hear you out." Martins tried to convince her once again. His hands were clenched tightly into his fists, showing his veins.

Luliyah could see that her father was angry, but she couldn't do anything. Even though she felt annoyed at her father, her status as Kelvin's wife might only be temporary. Plus, she owed Kelvin a huge debt for assisting her with her mother's bills. How could she ask Kelvin for help again?

"I can't, Dad. I really can't interfere in Kelvin's work affairs." Luliyah's tone softened. She tried to explain to her father that she couldn't help not because she didn't want to, but because she really couldn't.

"Then, can you give your land as interest so that your father's company doesn't go bankrupt?" Martins negotiated with her. He knew that Diana still had a land for her flower garden and that land was quite important. If he couldn't get a cooperation with the Williams Family, that land alone would be enough to help him with his work.

Luliyah looked at her father in disbelief, "Father! The land belongs to mother." She raised her voice a little. She felt her father really had the temerity. When her mother fell ill, her father refused to help. But at times like this, her father asked for a land that belongs to her mother.

Martins didn't like the tone of his daughter's voice, but right now he really needed help. He restrained himself from bursting into anger and tried to persuade Luliyah.

"Yes, I know. But now your father really needs it." Martins said, trying to look apologetic and begged Luliyah.

Seeing her father's current condition, Luliyah honestly felt sorry. All the time, she had known her father as a firm and authoritative figure. She never saw her father begging like this. Still, the land was part of her dream. She needed the land to fulfill her dream of becoming a perfumer.

"Dad, it's not like I don't want to help." Luliyah sounded very uncertain. She tried to explain that the two things her asked for were beyond her limits.

She couldn't ask Kelvin for help anymore. It's the same as not knowing your place if she asked for his help again. Moreover, she knew that the money her father needed was not small.

She just couldn't give up her mother's land. She needed the land to make a living. She needed it to achieve her goals.

Maybe, if she explained carefully, her father would understand.

"Father, I need that land to achieve my dream as a perfumer. I need my own resources to plant flowers if I want to create my own perfume", Luliyah's tone softened.

However, Luliyah's gentleness couldn't calm the anger in Martins heart. His clenched fist hit the table hard, making Luliyah gasp in shock. The people in the cafe stared at them curiously.

Luliyh could only nod slightly and apologize to the people around her because she and her father had disturbed them. Her father did not care about their surrounding at all.

"What an insolent child. I've been trying to be patient. You are the one who broke Kelvin and Natali's engagement. If only that didn't happen, I wouldn't have asked you for help like this." Martins shouted at her, making the people in the cafe stare at them.

Luliyah could only stare at her father. Martins also blamed her for what Natali did. None of this was her fault. All of it was Natali's doing!

"But I ..." Luliyah tried to explain everything to her father.

"You are just like your mother. You always think of yourself. Nobody means nothing to you." Martins didn't want to listen to Luliyah's explanation at all. He kept cutting Luliyah's words with insults.

The man's eyes and face were slightly red due to the anger he felt. He also shouted loudly that his veins appeared on his forehead. His scream sounded loud enough in the cafe that everyone turned their heads to watch them. One of the waiters rushed to call their manager, while the other waiters who wanted to intervene were scared.

"How could I have a daughter without dignity like you. You've seduced Natali's fiance..."

"DAD!" Luliyah shouted, "Never once did I try to seduce Natali's fiance. This is Natali's doing. What evidence do you have that will make you insult me like this?" Luliyah's limit of patience was up. She could not allow herself to be publicly humiliated without doing anything about it. Even though Martins's blood was flowing in her body, the man had gone too far. What kind of father could treat his own daughter like this?

"Many photos have been spread on the internet. Why are you still denying it?" Martins shouted even louder. If they weren't in public, he would have slapped Luliyah. How insolent of Luliyah, she dared to shout back at him in public.

"Natali set me up. She drugged my drink and sent me to Kelvin's room. Why should I be the one to be blamed for all of this?"

Luliyah's answer sounded absurd to Martins ear, making him even more furious. His hands were shaking, trying to stop himself from slapping his daughter in public. He did not think he had such a cheap daughter. In addition, Luliyah did not want to admit her mistakes and instead blamed her sister.

"Don't excuse yourself. If my company goes bankrupt, all of it is your fault! Martins shouted, while blaming Luliyah.

The two of them had a big argument so they didn't realize that another figure was approaching them.

That figure was Natali.

Natali followed her father when she found out that her father was going to meet Luliyah. Actually, she was just in for fun and wanted to know how Luliyah was doing at the time. To be precise, after her sister was labelled a fiance snatcher.

No .... Actually, she wanted to see Luliyah feel miserable.

She felt that Luliyah's life was very calm and peaceful. She was loved by so many people and never felt bad. Her life was so beautiful that it made Natali jealous. She really wanted to see Luliyah suffer.

However, she did not not expect to see Luliyah look so elegant. Her clothes were looking were very beautiful and expensive. Plus, the bag. It was a limited-edition bag that she wanted. Why did Luliyah have it? And where did she get the money to buy the bag?

From a distance, Natali gritted her teeth in annoyance. Why did Luliyah not look sad? Why did her plan not work as she expected?
