Edwin approached his mother’s room with eager anticipation, his demeanor reflecting his burning curiosity about how her meeting with Travis had unfolded. He knocked on the door, and after her approval, he entered the room, shutting the door behind him. A knowing look exchanged between them, words became momentarily unnecessary.However, noticing the weariness in his mother’s sigh as she took a seat on her bed, he couldn’t resist breaking the silence. “Well, Mom, how did it go? I’m not in the mood so I’d rather not be kept in suspense.”“And I'm not in a good mood, either,” Bianca said, casting a glare upon her son. “That Travis… The boy has undoubtedly grown audacious. The way he spoke to me, his demeanor irked me to the core.”“Did he insult you?” Edwin inquired with a concerned furrowed brow.Bianca gave a solemn nod. “Everything he did was an insult to my dignity; he didn’t need to utter a single word.” She sighed and continued, “For your sake, I had to suppress my pride, and fortu

Upon hearing those words, Edwin staggered backward, his countenance a mix of shock and disbelief, as if trying to deny the reality of the situation.He shook his head vehemently. “No. No, this can’t be happening.”Devon regarded him with a tilted head, a sly smirk playing on his lips as he questioned, “What’s so unbelievable, Edwin? You wanted a position at Golden Tower, and here it is.”Edwin’s glare at Devon was so intense that if looks could kill, Devon would have been six feet under. “This is not what I wanted, you son of a bitch!! Are you all playing some sick joke on me?! Why in the world would Travis assign me to such a menial role when I held the position of Assistant General Manager at Golden Tower?! Absolutely not! This is unacceptable!”“It’s an order from higher up, Edwin. Now, the choice is yours: accept it or reject it,” Devon replied coolly, offering him a form.Edwin snatched the form and tore it to shreds in a fit of fury. “Accept what? I’ll never succumb to this disg

Edwin’s arrival at the luxurious, exclusive box, reserved exclusively for the esteemed Danforth family, was marked by a swirl of emotions. He paced back and forth, seething with anger and frustration, his footsteps echoing in the elegant surroundings, as he anxiously bided his time while anticipating his mother’s arrival.Travis had one above him and that's because of his status as the chairman of Danforth Group, the real son of Leon Danforth, the family’s patriarch and business magnate. That's the only thing that made him fortunate.He had to devise a significant plan. He needed to take decisive action in order to exact a measure of revenge against Travis, who seemed to relish in subjecting him to relentless humiliation.As the door swung open, his piercing glare fixed on the figure of his startled mother, Bianca. His phone call had been far from clear, only emphasizing the gravity of the matter at hand and the imperative need for her presence.The tension in the room was palpable, i

Travis received a call from General Manager Marshall, who provided an update on the construction project’s progress, with a particular emphasis on Joanna’s exceptional performance. It was evident that she was pouring her heart and soul into the project, which accounted for her busy schedule.To alleviate Joanna’s workload and improve his daughter’s daily commute to school, Travis decided it was time to purchase a car. It wasn’t just for her home, but for his daughter too. This wasn’t only for the sake of Joanna’s commute but also for the benefit of his daughter. With a car, he could simplify the process of getting his daughter to school and back home.Unbeknownst to Travis, trouble was approaching in the form of William, who was still raging over the Green Empire incident.

Mae, one of the salesgirls, found herself eyeing Travis with a sense of disbelief as she posed her probing question. It was hard for her to gauge whether Travis was genuinely interested in buying a car or if he was simply playing a prank.William responded with a scoff upon hearing Mae's question. "Are you actually entertaining him? Trust me, it's a lost cause. You will only be expending your efforts in vain. I know this man all too well, and I can attest that he's utterly broke! He's nothing but a destitute ne’er-do-well!”Sara, one of the saleswomen who had previously exhibited skepticism, chimed in with a hearty laugh, shaking her head in a gesture of dismissiveness. She chuckled and shook her head. "Mae, dear, you ought not to concern yourself. By entertaining his whims, you are merely subjecting yourself to unnecessary agitation. It would be prudent to allow him to gallivant as he pleases.”However, Mae's curiosity got the best of her. Travis seemed oddly sincere about purchasing

Sara looked at William with a sense of wonder. "Is it really true that he doesn't have a job?"William, with an air of confidence, nonchalantly responded, "From what I know, he's unemployed. Even if he manages to buy a car, I'm almost certain he'll come begging me to cover the expenses. Whatever he's up to, it's probably a ruse to deceive that poor girl. She'll soon find out that the card he handed her is worthless.”While William had no intention of assisting Travis out of any predicament, it didn't stop him from boasting in front of attractive women. Travis was undoubtedly stirring up trouble, and William was determined to make matters even more difficult for him.Sara chuckled, giving William an admiring smile. “You’re quite the generous young master, aren’t you?”William shook his head, wearing a proud smirk. "You see, this is just the tip of the iceberg. My family owns a highly successful company, and we have a solid partnership with Danforth Group. Trust me, that guy is utterly

Travis found himself deeply absorbed in thoughts about the mysterious message from Diane Monez. He could recall her clearly, and he knew that after his mother’s death, she suddenly retired from her work and was nowhere to be found.Back then, Travis hadn’t dwelled on the reasons behind her sudden departure; he was too young to comprehend the intricacies of the situation. All he had been certain of was that his mother’s passing had been far from ordinary. He had hoped that confiding in his father about his suspicions would provide answers, but he had been met with disbelief. Fueled by anger and a feeling of his father’s indifference to his mother’s memory, he stormed out of the house, deeming his father utterly stupid and feeling like he never actually loved his mother.He arrived at Golden Tower, getting the information from General Marshall that Joanna was present to deliver progress reports to him. Travis decided it was an opportune moment to surprise her by picking her up.Travis p

Joanna returned home to find a new car parked in the driveway, her face displaying clear astonishment. She entered the house, her bewilderment urging her to seek answers about the unfamiliar vehicle parked outside.As she stepped inside, before she could inquire with Travis about the car, Maya rushed toward her with excitement. "Mommy! Daddy bought a car! He picked me up today in a big car, it's out there!" Maya exclaimed, jumping up and down as she embraced her mother.Joanna couldn't help but smile at her daughter's enthusiasm, all the while casting a curious glance at Travis, who stood before her in contemplation. She knelt down to Maya's level, questioning, "So, is that true? Did your dad really get a car?"Maya eagerly nodded. "Yes, Mommy, it's right outside!"Joanna wore a warm smile as she approached Travis, a lingering sense of curiosity in her eyes. "So, you bought a car?"Travis affirmed with a nod. "I did."This prompted Joanna to ask, "How did you manage that?" Wondering a
