The bidding day happened. Dwayne's company set-up a secret meeting inside their company. Since they only have three investors who will bid for the stocks. First one, Mister Suarez. He was also a businessman. He liked to invest in companies. That was how he got rich. Because he doesn’t only invest in ordinary companies.The second one was Madam Ching. The president's wife. She was a businesswoman too. And knowing that she was interested in the Jacinto network. They already knew what she was after. Then there was Johnson Floyd Lim, the son of the wealthiest man in the world. Dwayne was interested in him because he already had the JL network. Why would Lim want his company? Do they want to finally claim the Crotia? Build their empire here too? Dwayne will never know until he meets him. Yes, he was hoping to finally meet him. Johnson Floyd Lim never showed himself to anyone. “Is everything ready?” Dwayne asked Ben. They were already walking down the hallway to the meeting room. “Yes, s

The bidding continued. Ben explained what the investor would get if they successfully bid for the shares. The investor will have the same rights as the board members. He or she also had the right to tell his opinion to the board. He would have the right to decide too, as he was the second-largest shareholder in the company. That was why Dwayne had to choose the right investor for his company. Someone who will not dare to take everything from him. Someone not like Johnson Floyd Lim. “Three-fifty here,” Madam Ching said. Dwayne looked at her and nodded. They started their bidding at three hundred million dollars. And it was Madam Ching who immediately announced their bid. “Three hundred and fifty million dollars for Madam Ching. Anyone who wants to–” “Four hundred,” Mister Suarez cut Ben. “Four hundred million dollars for Mister Suarez.” Dwayne looked at Minerva. “How about you, Miss Wang? Aren’t you bidding for your boss?” Minerva smiled and looked at Dwayne. “Of course, I am.” S

Roxane woke up to find that she was already in a room. The bed was soft and she felt like she was lying in the clouds. She still couldn’t believe what she had just learned. Floyd, the man she left because he had nothing. The man that she swore she would never get back with. Was it the reason that Floyd successfully left the prison? She grunted and sat down. She felt like she was betrayed suddenly. The door opened and Belinda entered the room. “Roxane. You are awake. How are you?” Roxane scoffed and laid back again. “I don’t know if I am okay, mother. Why didn't you tell us about it?” Belinda put the tea on the side table. Then she sat down on the bed. “Why? Are you really that surprised that Floyd was not the man you really know? That he was not the man you left like trash?” Roxane’s eyebrows knitted. She sat down again and looked hard at Belinda. “I know what I did! But you lied to us!” “To us? You are not my son’s partner anymore. Why would you think I lied to you?” “I’m still

Floyd allowed Roxane to stay for a week at the mansion. He thinks that it was enough for Miguel to understand their situation. He gave Roxane a room and took her things. Floyd even brought a plane ticket for her. “You really wanted me to leave, huh?” Roxane said while looking at the ticket. “You don't need to be here, Roxane. Plus, you don't want Dwayne to see you again, right?”Roxane's turned sour. “Fine. Don't worry. I will explain everything to Miguel.”“You should. Because I really want you out of our lives, Roxane. Remember that you are here only because of him.”Roxane felt a sting in her chest. “Did I really hurt you that much? That's why you're like this now?” “This is not about me, Roxane. It’s about our son and what’s good for him.” “Fine! I’m sorry! I’m a fool that I left you! But can you blame me, Floyd? You had nothing back then! We are so poor that you can’t even provide for us!” Floyd frowned at Roxane. “I can provide, Roxane. It was just not enough for you. I am

Floyd laughed. He thought that Aby was playing with him. But she stood up firm in front of him without even blinking. Floyd controlled himself and stared at Aby. “You are serious? You are proposing to me?” Aby clenched her fists. “Whatever you call it. Yes. Let’s get married. It was part of the deal after all.” “Aby. I don’t know where this is coming from. But this is a ridiculous idea, okay? Thank you for your help. Now let me talk with Alfred.” “No! Listen to me, Floyd. I’ll call you Floyd, okay?” Aby stepped forward. “I need you to marry me. As soon as possible. We don’t have to make it grand. We can do it today if you want to.” Floyd rested his butt on his table and crossed his arms. Aby was always unexpected. He agreed to the deal because he thought she wouldn’t do it. “But why?” “Why?” She stepped forward again and stopped when she could feel Floyd’s breath. “We already kissed. I think we are mutual. We’ll do great as husband and wife.” Floyd stared into Aby’s eyes. He r
