Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 378

"Yura, what are you going to do?" Natali's face looks panicked.
Yura was completely consumed by Natali's pretense and felt that her friend was really kind. "Do you feel sorry for her because you two are siblings? Don't you remember that she took Aiden from you and she was also dating Raka? Anya is a cunning fox!" Yura said angrily.
"I..." Natali lowered her head and was speechless.
"I will…" Yura whispered the next sentence in Natali's ear so that no one would know about their plan. "Help me find a way to separate her from Aiden,"
"Do you have to do this?" Natali looked at Yura with an innocent gaze.
"Nat, you can't be too nice to her! I will do all this for you and will not get you involved," Yura said.
"You are my best friend and Anya is my sister. So I can't help you. If you want to teach her a lesson, don't go too far," Natali said anxiously.
"Don't worry. I will arrange everything and not involve you," Yura said.
After Yura made sure that she wouldn't mention her name in her upcoming plan, Natali finally agreed.
On the other side of the party room, Aiden and Anya were sitting at the guest table. As Raka's best friend, NIco was very busy helping out the engagement party. He only briefly greeted Anya and Aiden.
Anya sat playing with her cellphone and sent some photos for Tara.
Today, only Tara's grandfather came to the engagement party. Anya felt very bored because Tara wasn't there to accompany her.
Since Tara heard that Nico was taking his girlfriend to the engagement party today, she excused that her clinic was busy and she couldn't go.
After all, Tara's grandfather alone was enough to represent their family that no one cared whether Tara came or not.
[Tara]: According to a rumor, Natali deliberately went into Raka's room when Raka was drunk. Then, she deliberately drew attention to their parents to make it look like they were caught in a relationship. That is why the Mahendra Family agreed to this engagement.

[Anya:] I know. That night, Natali showed me a photo of them both. I can't do anything. All of this was Raka's negligence.
[Tara:] Too bad a nice guy like him ends up with Natali. He always helps you even though he's separated from you. Even after Natali's trap, he still wants to take responsibility. Raka is really a good man.
Anya didn't answer anymore. Raka was too good so there was nothing she could do.
But come to think of it, did Raka know about everything Natali had been doing?
Natali was the reason why Raisa had to suffer such a fate after she offended Aiden. The girl had been involved in dirty tricks many times, but she didn't give up and continued to take Natali's side.
Anya felt a little amazed for Natali. She didn't know how Natali made Raisa completely obedient to her like that…
The music started playing, the lights in the room got even dimmer. The main stage was highlighted with beautiful lights.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bright stage. There, Raka was standing straight while wearing a suit that fit perfectly on his body.
Aiden saw his wife looking at Raka. Then, he reminded Anya. "Your cell phone is ringing,"
As she was busy thinking about Raka and Natali's fate, Anya did not hear that her cell phone was ringing. Her mother called her. "I will answer this call first. From mom… "
"Don't go too far," said Aiden.
Since the music was too loud, Anya had to step aside a little to answer her mother's call.
When she got up and left her chair, she saw Natali coming into the room in a white dress, accompanied by her father.
Anya was not interested in seeing this engagement party so she came out of the noisy room and answered the phone. "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Anya, go up to the fifth floor by using the elevator and enter room number 520 now. Don't tell anyone or I won't let your mother live," from across the phone, not her mother's voice was heard. But the sound of Yura's shrill laughter in her ears.

Anya was surprised when she heard the familiar voice. "Yura? Why is my mom's cell phone in your hand? What did you do to my mother?"
"Anya..." Diana's weak voice came from across.
"Don't turn off the phone. Get in the elevator quickly. I will watch all your movements. I can't guarantee your mother's safety if you ask someone for help," Yura threatened.
"Yura, if you have a problem with me, just solve it with me. Don't involve my mother!" Anya followed Yura's words and walked towards the elevator.
She looked at her husband, who was still sitting at their table, but could do nothing to tell Aiden. Yura threatened her with her mother's life and said that she's watching all of Anya's movements. How could she ask Aiden for help?
If she asked Aiden for help and Yura found out about it, her mother's life could be in danger!
She got into the elevator and turned to push the button. She secretly texted Tara while still holding her phone in her hand.
Tara was the last person to exchange messages with her so she could only reach Tara at this time.
[Anya]: Help!
She only typed and sent that one word. She didn't want to make Yura suspicious and hurt her mother.
She didn't know if this was just a trap or Yura really did kidnap her mother. But she didn't want to take the risk!
Anya could only hope Tara read the message and understood that Anya was in danger. After that, Tara could immediately tell Aiden to save her.
Currently, Tara was taking care of a patient. The patient was a big man and had a frightening appearance. However, as opposed to his scary face, it turned out that the man was very timid.
His body was shaking so badly that Tara couldn't even check his teeth.
"Doctor Tara, someone messaged you asking for help. Looks like it's urgent!" A nurse entered the room carrying Tara's cell phone.
When the screen turned on, the nurse could see the word 'Help'. It made her panic and immediately told Tara.
"Who sent it?" Tara asked.
"Miss Anya," replied the nurse.
Tara thought for a moment. She just exchanged messages with Anya and found out that Anya and Aiden were at Raka and Natali's engagement party.
There was no way any harm could happen when Anya was with Aiden.
Maybe Anya sent it by accident?
But the word 'Heko' made Tara feel bad. It was a very sensitive word. She should not take this matter for granted.
It would be better if she observed the situation first.
"You calm down first. I'll call for a while," Tara said to the patient. It gave her patient time to calm down.
She immediately came out and called Anya. However, Tara was confused when Anya's cell phone was on another call. Could it be that Anya pressed the wrong number?
Anya is calling someone. Could there be any danger that happened while she was on the phone?
When she came back into the room, the very patient complained, "Doctor, why is the call so fast? I'm not ready yet,"
Tara just shook her head and walked out of the room a second time. This time, she called Aiden.
Aiden looked around her and did not find Anya. He immediately got up and wanted to find her. Right at that moment, Tara called him.
"What's wrong? I'm busy right now," Aiden sounded cold.
"Is Anya beside you?" Tara didn't mince words and got straight into the matter. She didn't even say hello to Aiden.
"No. I'm looking for her," Aiden walked out of the event room.
"Anya just messaged me asking for help. I'm afraid something might have happened to her, so I called you. Her phone could not be connected because she was calling someone else. Please find her immediately," Tara thought that the situation was very suspicious.
Aiden's eyes immediately panicked when he heard her." I'll be looking for her soon!"
After he hung up Tara's call, Hana then called him. "Sir, Mrs. Diana's cell phone is lost. Please tell Anya not to worry. Mrs. Diana is with me at home,"
