Julie's cursing voice attracted the attention of several people who passed by them. Bill felt his stomach twist and wanted to disappear right now. However, he realized that this kind of swearing was not the first time in his life. He'd gotten a lot of abuse from people he even loved in the past. Bill's throat felt dry. He wanted to retaliate, but there wasn't a single word he could get out even with his mouth open. Julie was probably right, Bill should never have come to the Rainer family. In fact, he didn't-Bill was forced to come by Ryan, even in an unethical way. "You know what? Your existence is a disaster for me and my son! It's enough that your mother took my husband in the past! Enough of that dead woman making my past a hell for me!" Julie was still cursing Bill at will.Bill clenched his hands into fists. It was very painful, but he didn't know what to do now. Should he apologize? But Bill couldn't figure out where he went wrong. Was the fact that his mother was a home wrec

Bill returned to his apartment with some relief. Although he didn't know if Julie and Diana would really agree to the offer he made, but at least Bill had tried to provide a middle ground for all of them. In addition, Bill was also relieved that he had told Julie about Ryan's situation.Before Bill had time to clean up, Bill's apartment bell rang. It was Joana who came to meet him. She was standing with something in her hand when Bill opened the door."Hi, Jo. Come on in." Bill invited Joana to come in.Joana entered and frowned slightly when she saw Bill's dirty clothes."I brought you dinner. I cooked too much spaghetti. I thought we'd better eat together," Joana said."Oh, what a coincidence that I haven't had dinner yet. Thank you so much for being so considerate." Bill replied with a happy face. After his mood had been frantic all day because of Julie and Diana, the attention given by Joana at this time was really a solace for him. "You just got home, huh?" asked Joana looking a

"Well, it's not a problem for me." Ryan answered as if it was nothing.The man who was previously going to be matched with Diana, turned out to have a bad side that even Ryan himself did not believe in. Although initially Ryan was worried about the loss he would get if the match was canceled, now there was nothing to disturb his mind at all. "That bastard," he said again with a quiet rush of breath. "He doesn't deserve to be with my granddaughter." Earlier, Ryan had estimated the loss he would incur, but after it happened it turned out to be no worse than he had imagined. So, Ryan wasn't bothered about it anymore. "Tell Diana she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore." Ryan said to Julie.Julie was relieved to hear it, but on the other hand she was also a little furious. Why didn't Ryan make an effort to cancel Diana's engagement to that asshole if it wasn't a problem. "Okay. Thank you, Father." Although a little annoyed, Julie still thanked him with a faint smile.Ryan rep

"It makes no sense! That kid is really weird. How could he sign this agreement without even reading it? Is he out of his mind?" Julie was still babbling even though she was now inside her apartment. She should have been happy that Bill signed the agreement without much drama. Instead, Julie felt as if Bill was playing a trick on her."Never mind, Mom. Everything has gone according to what we wanted. Why are you feeling upset and angry like that?" Diana tried to comfort her mom and calm her down. To be honest, she also felt strange about Bill's actions, but of course Diana didn't want to take it too far. As long as the mission went smoothly, it didn't matter."I felt like he was mocking me in front of our lawyer earlier. It's obvious that the boy is playing us, Diana!" Julie still insisted on her thoughts."Mom, please calm down. If indeed he is trying to play us, then we must not be provoked. Instead, we have to master the battlefield, don't we?" Diana said again.Julie let out a long

After Julie and Jonathan's return to the Rainer mansion, Bill also returned to his routine at the Zigga Company. He had not told Joana that he would be returning to the Rainer mansion as well because there was no further news from Ryan or Jonathan.That day, Bill was busy with some report files as usual. However, in the middle of his work, Bill received a call from Jonathan. Without hesitation, he picked up the call. "I'm calling to tell you about your announcement party as the family heir." Jonathan told him matter-of-factly.Bill sighed deeply. "Did you set the day?" The question came out in a voice that seemed heavy. There was no enthusiasm on the man's face. "Yes, it's in a week. I think you need to prepare," Jonathan said."Yes, I do." Bill was sure that the preparations his father was referring to were the kind that would be arranged by the Rainer family, rather than himself. So, he didn't think it was necessary to think about making any preparations. "You don't sound excited
