After discussing the licensing and authenticity of the designs, Asher confidently left the party. He had successfully made Olivia and Darren curse in frustration behind him, while Cody looked desperate amid the guests' skeptical and suspicious whispers.Asher stepped out of the party hall, radiating a captivating charismatic aura. In the hotel lobby, he observed a calmer and more peaceful atmosphere, far from the commotion of the party. As he headed towards the exit, his eyes fell upon a woman with long, curly black hair, dressed in work attire paired with a knee-length skirt. Her face looked serious and focused as if something was troubling her.The woman was Alicia Pervaz, a young executive who had recently encountered difficulties. However, Asher did not know her.

It was Asher Dixon, the heir to the Dixon company, often featured in the news.Alicia stood by the roadside, struggling with something in

After finishing the partnership discussion with Alicia, Asher escorted her to the front of the building where Alicia's car was parked. They chatted briefly in front of the car before Alicia got in and drove away. Asher waved politely as the car moved off, then turned around, ready to head back to the office.However, his steps abruptly halted as Olivia suddenly appeared before him. Her face looked cheerful, but Asher stared at her with a barely concealed expression of disgust. Despite Olivia's attempts to flirt with her sweet smile, Asher simply looked at her coldly without a word.Olivia, accustomed to getting attention and admiration from men, felt surprised and annoyed by Asher's reaction. Yet, Asher remained unresponsive, making the situation increasingly awkward between them.Olivia felt irritated by Asher's indifferent response. Without hesitation, she tried to grab Asher's arm. However, Asher harshly brushed her off.Olivia stood before Asher, trying to contain her tumultuous e

Asher sighed heavily after arriving at the mansion. He lay down on the soft bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. He was contemplating his next plan to avenge the pain and prove that he was not someone to be trampled upon.A knock on the door made Asher get up and open the large door. Standing at the door was Aberon, smiling slightly. The middle-aged man inquired about his well-being and then invited him to his private study.Upon arriving at Aberon's study, Asher sat next to his father, waiting to hear what the middle-aged man wanted to convey. The room was filled with thick books and antique decorations, reflecting Aberon Dixon's authority and power. Behind his large desk, Aberon appeared powerful and wise, though his eyes showed a hint of fatigue.Aberon pulled out a black-covered document and laid it on the table. Then he said, "Establish a partnership with Pervaz Corporation. I know you can be relied upon for investing or buying shares there."Asher furrowed his brow as he read the

In Halbert's residence, tension filled the air as Cody Halbert questioned Olivia about her progress in winning over Asher. With a sour and cynical expression, Olivia replied that Asher wasn't easy to approach. Cody Halbert then blamed Olivia for her affair with Darren. "If only you hadn't broken up with that guy back then, we wouldn't be in this mess!"Cody stared at Olivia scornfully, calling her a worthless child. "You truly embarrass this family, Olivia. Why can't you be like Asher, successful and accomplished?" he said sharply.Olivia suppressed her boiling emotions, yet maintained her cool demeanor. "I won't let your statements bother me, Father," she said firmly but calmly.Cody Halbert shook his head in annoyance. "You'll never understand the importance of the opportunities I've given you, Olivia. You're just wasting time with Darren and your foolish plans."Olivia remained silent, but her eyes reflected determination. She knew facing her father's hatred and disappointment wasn

Olivia swallowed hard but tried to remain calm. "Because I still love you, Asher. I regret leaving you just because of your past circumstances. Now I understand how valuable you are." Asher smiled coldly. "Love? Regret? Those words can't erase what you've done, Olivia. Didn't you say I was just a stepping stone for you to complete all your college tasks?" Asher looked at her cynically. "You even belittled me. That event is something I will never forget," Asher added. However, Olivia still did not give up. "Asher, please. Give me one more chance. Yes, I was like that before, but now I've fallen in love with you. I'll prove that I'm serious. I don't care about the past; what matters is our future." Asher took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger boiling inside him. "Olivia, our future ended when you decided to leave and insult me. There is no room for you in my life anymore. Now, go and don't come back." Olivia's eyes looked teary, but she did not move. "I won't leave until
