"Are you serious with your words?" Tony asked, smirking dismissively."Yes! I'm serious! If you can indeed buy the most expensive car in our showroom, I will call you Big Boss and I will serve you tonight. That's if you can!" the saleswoman replied, annoyed.Tony extended his right hand, inviting the saleswoman to shake hands."Then we have a deal?" Tony asked."Yeah!" The saleswoman shook Tony's hand firmly."Okay. Show me your most expensive cars," Tony said.The saleswoman put on an even grumpier face. This time, she completely disregarded Tony as a customer.And they arrived at the other side of the showroom where the most expensive cars were displayed.It was a special room with a luxurious and classy interior.The people there, being attended to by salesmen or saleswomen, were elegantly dressed and emitted a strong fragrance.The cars there, of course, looked much more enticing than the ones the saleswoman had shown Tony earlier."This is our most expensive car. Limited edition.

Amanda, the saleswoman who assisted Tony in buying his car, now stood in front of the door of a hotel room.She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. As she pressed her hand to her chest, she could feel her heart beating faster than usual.'You stupid, Amanda. This is all your fault. You picked a fight with someone so wealthy,' she scolded herself inwardly.Amanda straightened her back, slowly raising her right hand.She hesitated before knocking on the door, contemplating whether to leave and cancel whatever she was about to do with Tony who was waiting inside the room.But fear held her back. If she did that, Tony might hunt her down, terrify her, and force her to leave the town.That's Amanda's perception of Tony. In their last conversation at the showroom, Tony reminded her of her promise to be of service if her suspicion about Tony's ability to purchase an expensive car at the showroom where she worked turned out to be wrong.A mocking smile from Tony lingered in Amanda's mind.

The taxi carrying Tony arrived in front of Josh's house. It was almost nine in the evening. Tony glanced at the porch, ensuring there were signs that the house wasn't empty.Earlier, Jade had indeed asked him to come here, not to the hospital. Sasha's condition had improved; she was supposed to go home tomorrow. Tonight, only Josephine was taking care of her.As usual, Tony unlocked the gate with his spare key. After entering, he closed and locked the gate again, walking towards the porch with growing curiosity.He wondered what his father-in-law wanted to discuss with him. Knock! Knock! "Jade, it's me," Tony said after knocking on the door.Soon, footsteps approached. The door opened, pulled inward, revealing Jade. "Come in. Dad is waiting for you at the dining table," Jade said.His wife left, perhaps heading to the dining table. Tony closed and locked the door before following her.The house felt empty, reminding Tony of the moment when only he and Josephine were there. Strong g

Esther froze for a moment. She wondered if she had misheard.But it didn't seem so. Hammond Sturkluson's expression matched what she had just heard."Apologies, Mr. Hammond. If I may ask, what's the connection between the extraordinary gift you're offering and my brother and his company?" Esther asked, still very cautious with her choice of words and tone.But Hammond Sturkluson stared at her coldly. He glanced at Bond, then nodded.Bond returned the mysterious nod from Hammond, then he closed the large black suitcase on the table."If you don't want it, then so be it. I'll leave now. Don't blame me if you regret it later," said Hammond Sturkluson, standing up and pretending to leave."Wait, Sir!"Panicked, Esther immediately stood up and placed both of her hands on the table, leaning slightly forward."Why? Don't you want my gift?" sneered Hammond.Esther's face reddened. She was in her territory, but she felt humiliated by Hammond."You misunderstand, Mr. Hammond. I could never refu

"What do you mean by that, Grandma? Are you suggesting that you want to kick us out of the Robertson family?"Jade stepped forward towards Grandma Tiffany. What her grandmother had just said truly struck her."Heh, Jade, mind your words! You're facing the current leader of the Robertson family. Remember that!" Esther warned Jade.Jade glared at her aunt in annoyance but said nothing. She then turned her gaze back to Grandma Tiffany."Explain, Grandma, what do you mean by your previous words?" Jade urged, this time with a calmer tone.Grandma Tiffany looked at Jade with irritation. Jade used to be her favorite granddaughter. However, since she married that useless Tony, she wasn't anymore.Jade indeed possessed a natural beauty equivalent to the most beautiful sights in the world, but her choice to stick with Tony in her marriage disgusted Grandma Tiffany.We recall that at Grandma Tiffany's recent birthday party, Jade had the chance to accept the proposal of Bobby, who was clearly wea
