"Sorry if I'm coming too late, Arthur."Arthur shook his head and turned to Dwyane, who had been silent, accompanying him through the traffic. He smiled when he saw a woman who was much different from the first time they met."No, don't apologise. I disappointed you in the past too. Maybe this time I get my punishment."Dwyane closed her mouth softly, showing her expression of concern for what had happened to Arthur just now. "Sorry, Arthur. If I had remembered my old book I had a draft of to change the plot in my workspace at the office, maybe you could still have saved JF Printing.""No, Dwyane. Please stop apologising. It's not your fault. I'm not capable enough to lead JF Printing out of the bankruptcy zone, anyway. I only made it worse by staying with me."For the rest of the journey, the two were silent. For the first time, the defeat Arthur received did not make his emotions explode. Instead, there was another emotional feeling tha

“Hey, what’s this celebration?”Question after question from the JF Group’s employees made everyone curious. No one knew that the ballroom, which was usually used to welcome big events, was now crowded with people. Not just from colleagues, but also employees who had wandered in for free.Ronald White had just arrived when he asked the security guard about the personalised invitation sent through the company website. Sure enough, no one knew what the party was for.Instead of getting rumours from the few employees present, Ronald White continued to pay attention to every interior that the organiser had put together in just one night.“Doesn’t anyone know about this celebration?” Ronald asked once again. Unfortunately, he didn’t get any answers from the many people present.It was not only colleagues from JF’s extensive projects who come to fill the grand ballroom on the upper ground floor of the famous JF Groups, but also representatives from the subsidiaries’ employees.Jill’s car had

Jill got up restlessly. Her gaze was not to be outdone. Until all the guests turn their attention to her.Aland remained expressionlessly staring at Jill, who had the guts to stand up in the middle of the event. Before finally he actually opened his voice even though his gaze could not escape the respected Jill Reynolds. "As you know, Lark Brown, he is the one who has been trying to harm me lately. I mourn his terrible death. But I am also grateful that one of my enemies has fallen."Hearing Aland's explanation, Jill let out a long breath. She smiled softly before lowering her head and leaving the table for the women's toilet at the back end of the famous JF Groups ballroom.Seeing an intimidated Jill, Aland returned his attention to the guests. "Lark Brown even tried to burn down JF warehouse. I don't know why he was so obsessed with a higher position that he had to put himself, his good name, and his honour at risk. But I also thank him for showing himself that he can no longer be tr

Jill blinked softly, trying to make excuses for questions that might be asked by the journalists summoned by Aland. Her smile never ceased to widen because she knew that this news would make her even luckier if she got it right."Ah, you're right. I should have brought it here. But really, I forgot not to bring it here. I think I left it at home. How about talking about this at the family dinner tonight?"Aland was still expressionless. He nodded slowly before finally turning to Jill, who still had her hand on his arm. "How about telling them that Reynolds Industries is not actually yours, Mrs Reynolds?"Hearing Aland's request, Reynolds' smile faded. She swallowed hard as all the journalists within earshot were so curious that they could not stop peppering her with unimaginable questions."What does Mr Fischer mean, Mrs Reynolds?""How could Reynolds Industries not be yours?""If you don't own it, then why are you the chairman?”

"When are you going to stop being crazy, huh?" asked Jill after slapping Arthur angrily. The two were still outside the area police station when Jill vented her anger appropriately."I just hate it when I hear her keep mentioning that they have had a stronger bond just because they've known each other since they were toddlers. I hate what she says because she's said the same thing to me before, Mrs Reynolds."Noticing Arthur snapping, Jill twisted her head. She gave Arthur a sharp look and twisted to get into the car parked nearby.Arthur understood. Even without speaking, he knew Jill was asking him to get into the car, even if it was only with a gesture. He obeyed Jill's wish and got in hurriedly."You should have restrained yourself and killed her at home if you hate her so much. Why did you have to do it in a crowded place and make a scene? It's lucky that there are no journalists and reporters left! Otherwise, the matter would have been more
