The maid and driver were asked to go home by Siska, as Arabel had someone to accompany her.
"What is this, Dad?" Arabel read the letter and was shocked by the statement.
"What is this, Mom, Dad? Should I divorce Maxime now?" asked Arabel while crying.
Siska said there was no reason to hold back, it had been nine months and according to the original agreement, Arabel had to leave Maxime when the child was born.
"Remember your promise. You are no longer part of the Frans family after this child is born, understand?"
Arabel shook her head unwillingly. She was still reading the contents of the letter and she was even more surprised when there was a statement that the child born to Arabel would become the property of the Frans family and Arabel had no right to oppose.
"Now this child belongs to my family. You are nobody to our family anymore," Siska said.
Siska took out money from her big bag and handed it to Arabel.
"This is 1 billion, I think it's enough to support you. Don't ever come back to see Maxime, let alone take this child from us. Understood?"
Arabel smiled wryly, she threw the money in front of Siska.
"Sorry Mama, I don't need this money. I love my son, it doesn't matter if Maxime doesn't want to recognize me and his son."
Siska smiled back. She reminded Arabel not to mess with her.
"Take this money or will your life be in danger? Look at your son, he won't be able to see you again forever."
Arabel cried. She was troubled by the confusing situation. If she died, then her child could no longer receive her affection. Arabel's decision was unanimous, she let go of her son and promised to come back to claim her son's rights again.

Elsewhere, Maxime was still making out with a young woman. She had long hair, fair skin. Overall, the woman was sexier than Arabel.
"When do you want to marry me, darling?" the woman asked.
"How about next month? I'll discuss it with my mom and dad first," Maxime replied.
"I'll wait for you honey, I can't wait to be part of your family."
The woman clung to Maxime's arms. Who would have thought that she was Laura, Arabel's sister.
***
One month passed and during this time Arabel was still monitoring Maxime's family in silence and from a distance. She rented a house near the Frans family housing complex, but no one knew that Arabel was there.
During this time she also saw her son's development so well. Maxime's family took care of his son with great love. Arabel also got bad news, when she began to smell Maxime's current state. Apart from Arabel, Maxime is still in a relationship with another woman who turns out to be Arabel's own sister.
Arabel met secretly with her sister Maura without Maxime's knowledge, after she knew Maura was Maxime's lover all this time.
"Are you satisfied with depriving me of my happiness, Maura? You shouldn't have been allowed to get close to Maxime either, since we come from a poor family. But..."
Arabel also didn't know what exactly Maura had done to be so well accepted into the Frans family. A wealthy family that took great care to maintain its dignity.
"I didn't realize that Maxime's ex-wife was Big Brother. Did you get pregnant before marriage? What if our family finds out that you're married and even pregnant out of wedlock?" "Father must be disappointed," Maura said, making Arabel quiet.
"Please, I ask you to keep this secret from Mom and Dad. I will keep your secret from Frans' family, because I don't want Father to get sick from hearing all this." Arabel and Maura made a deal; she was forced to do so to keep her parents' hearts...
Nonetheless, everything had ended at that meeting. Currently, Arabel's task was to find a way to get her son back.
"How is my son doing, aunt?" Arabel sent a message to someone's number,
She became an excellent housekeeper for Siska because she wanted to be Arabel's spy.
[Madam's son is sleeping. She's healthy. About Mr. Maxime, tomorrow he will marry Miss Maura.] The maid's reply was very quick.
"My child is healthy, thank goodness." Arabel looked at the photo of her son sent by the maid.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Arabel smiled happily. Arabel already didn't care about other people outside of her son's interests. She promised not to take care of Maxime's life anymore. Now they were just Arabel's friends.
Arabel hadn't worked for several months, living on the money Siska had given her. It was definitely not a small amount; the money was still stashed away in large amounts. Arabel was just looking for evidence and a strategy to get custody of her child. She would take her child out of the city and leave the sick city behind...
***
Maxime and Maura were officially married. Frans' family was very happy because they had a new member in their family with the birth of Arabel's child. Maura was considered a good daughter-in-law because she was equal to the degree of the Frans family.
Arabel found out about Maxime's marriage and saw how happy he was with his new wife. In addition, Frans and Siska were very appreciative of their granddaughter.
Arabel said quietly. "I hope Maura can be a good birth mother for my son."
On the one hand, Arabel was actually a little calm, because Maura could give affection to her son. Thankfully, her son got a birth mother who turned out to be her own aunt.
That one day, Arabel received a message from the maid aunt.
[Miss's son is in danger. Mr. Maxime's new wife just scolded him.] The maid's message was sent to Arabel's cell phone.
Arabel was shocked. She didn't expect the news.
[So how is it, Auntie? Is my son okay? Please protect him, I can't let him get hurt.] Arabel's message replied to the maid aunt.
[I have protected her. For now, Miss's child is in my care. I will let you know of any further developments, Miss.]
Arabel began to feel uneasy. She was shocked to hear the news. Maura, who she thought would be kind and be able to take care of Arabel's child, was now the opposite.
***
One week later Arabel came to Frans' family home. She came with a purpose. She had smelled the rottenness of Maura who intended to kill her son and not allow her son to become an heir.
That afternoon, the Frans family's doorbell rang, and it was the maid aunt who opened the door.
"Miss Arabel?" she said.
"Thank you Auntie for holding the door for me. May I come in?"
"Please, Miss."
Arabel entered the house easily. Even the maid was ready in case Siska got angry.
