The following day, Joanna informed Travis about her plan to treat Sophia to a meal at a high-end hotel as a way to reconnect with old friends. She mentioned that Sophia wanted to thank Travis for the warm welcome he had extended to her.Travis let out a scoff upon hearing this. “Warm welcome? You can tell her she doesn’t need to bother. What I did wasn’t anything to make a fuss over.”During breakfast, Joanna glanced at Travis and responded, “She probably felt appreciative and wanted to express her gratitude. She mentioned that Williams and Allison were causing a lot of trouble and almost ruined her day, but thanks to you, she managed to escape from that situation. I heard those two got quite a beating. Seems like your security guard instincts are sticking with you like a leech.”Travis wasn’t sure whether to interpret that as a comment or an insult. He could only stare at Joanna with a slightly furrowed brow.He was already contemplating avoiding Sophia due to his lack of trust in he

Travis couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness upon hearing his wife's words. Her acknowledgment that his choice of hiring Isabella De Luca for the private dinner would delight her was immensely satisfying.Sophia excused herself briefly to visit the restroom, and when she returned, she seemed astounded. "Joanna!"Joanna was taken aback by Sophia's sudden exclamation."Joanna, you're quite extravagant!" Sophia declared. "I overheard some gossip that this Crown Jewel is far more expensive than any other Crown Jewel in different cities. Is that true?" She inquired, settling back into her chair.Joanna grinned and replied, "I didn't mind splurging a bit, especially when it's for you, Sophia. Besides, coming from your affluent background, I'm sure this is just a drop in the bucket for you."Sophia casually waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, Jo, you really didn't have to go this far. It sounds like a lot, even for me."Joanna nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right. Ordering in th

Bianca is here in Grove City just for a meeting?That woman had grown desperate but then he expected it because he knew she was not just going to sit tight and allow him to temporarily or permanently remove her son from the company.He turned to Joanna and said, “I’m sorry, but I need to go. I have somewhere to be.”Joanna, curious to know where Travis was headed, asked, “Where are you going?”“To meet a friend,” Travis lied and walked away without waiting for further questions."Is that how he behaves when you two talk?" Sophia suddenly inquired, capturing Joanna's attention. "Does he just walk away like that?"Joanna sighed and responded, "I don't even know anymore. I'm just so exhausted.""Why are you feeling so worn out when your life seems to be at its peak of success? Don't tell me you've stopped loving your husband," Sophia continued to dig.Joanna shook her head, contemplating her feelings. "I honestly don't know."Sophia nodded understandingly. "Alright. It's just that I was

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

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.

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.

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
