Mr. Quinton regarded William with profound curiosity. His expression mirrored the questions swirling in his mind. With a mix of surprise and genuine appreciation, he inquired, "Young man, where did you obtain this extraordinary essential oil? It's not something that can be easily found. Please, share with us the story behind this special gift."William merely smiled, choosing to keep the full truth under wraps. Though he bore an identity of great importance as the third generation of the Anderson family and owner of Grand Street Commercial, he deliberately opted to present himself humbly before Mr. Quinton and the other guests."Ah, I am just an ordinary young man searching for the finest things in life," William said with a modest tone. "Finding this oil was simply a stroke of luck. I hope to share a bit of that fortune with you, Mr. Quinton.""We feel incredibly fortunate to have someone like you who considers our health and well-being."William nodded politely, his smile a constant

William caught a movement in the corner of his eye, looking up to the upper floor. Someone was running with a camera, and instantly he realized what was happening. "So this is all a trap," William murmured, giving a cynical smile at Robert and Jordan.Jordan grinned widely, satisfied with William's surprised expression. "Yeah,, William, this is a trap. And you just fell right into it."William stood upright, staring at Jordan and Robert with a piercing gaze. Despite being trapped, he tried to remain calm.Jordan and Robert laughed loudly, seemingly enjoying the situation immensely."Let's see how long you can hold on, William!" Robert exclaimed, still with a victorious smile on his face."Brace yourself, William," Robert said in a challenging tone. Jordan nodded in agreement, his face filled with a sly smile.William straightened up, letting them have their moment. Although their words sounded threatening, intimidating William would not make him back down. He would prepare himself to

William, who was finally able to go home, was warmly welcomed by his friends. They all seemed happy and relieved that William was finally free. However, not everyone was happy with William's freedom. Sarah, who knew this from Vera, was upset. She even accused William of bribing the police to get out. "Vera, I can't believe your boyfriend was able to get out of custody just like that! Did he bribe the police?" Sarah asked scornfully. Vera snapped back at her cousin. "You know that William would never do something like that. He's free because he's innocent, not because he bribed anyone!"Sarah, who was next to Vera that night, could only snort softly. She couldn't argue with her cousin anymore. It was just that her mind was still struggling with how William could be free just like that. In fact, judging from Robert's plan to prepare a lawsuit for him, it was already quite heavy. At least a few months William could be imprisoned. Why did he get out so easily? What happened exactly?T

Evan sighed for a moment before replying, "I don't think your grandfather mentioned this in detail before."William just knitted his eyebrows. "He didn't say anything. You explain it to me," he pleaded."In the company group, your grandfather had made an announcement that one of his manager's sons had offended Mr. Anderson. One by one, they immediately confirmed and apologized. When it was Mr. Smith's turn, Mr. Anderson didn't respond."William rounded his eyes. "My grandfather has revealed my identity?"Evan smiled again. "Take it easy, Sir. Your grandfather is still hiding your identity. You'll just have to arrange it later."William thought about this and he came up with a good idea. "Then keep the secret about my identity. I don't want them to find out early." William gave the order and Evan said yes. Evan nodded, "Of course, Sir. Your identity will remain a secret." He then turned around, about to leave the room, when there was a sudden knock on the door. A staff member entere

Mr. Smith looked very angry. "What?! Kneel?! In front of you?!" he shouted, his face turning red. "Who do you think you are? You're just an ignorant youngster, and you want me, a company leader, to kneel in front of you?" William tried to remain calm, he was not affected by Mr. Smith's anger. "I understand that this is difficult for you, Mr. Smith. But, this is Young Master Anderson's request. If you refuse, I'm afraid you'll have to be prepared to face the consequences.""Mr. Smith, this is not a difficult request. You might as well do it," Evan added.Mr. Smith was still trying to find a way out of this situation. "Is there any other way?" he asked, his voice hopeful. William without hesitation said, "No, Mr. Smith. This is Young Master Anderson's request. There is no other way." Mr. Smith looked even more furious. "But why do I have to kneel? What does this have to do with my son? Did I make a mistake? Why do I have to apologize?" he shouted. William, calmly and firmly, replied

The next day, Robert was free from prison. He flaunted himself, proud to be free without having to stay in detention for long. Not only because he had regained his freedom, but also because he had not received any punishment. His other friends were delighted and they visited Robert's house to celebrate his freedom and to find out how he came to be free.Robert had poured a drink into a glass. He had chosen an expensive red wine, perfect for celebrating such a special occasion. He sat casually on the sofa, enjoying the party atmosphere full of his friends. Sarah asked him, "Robert, how did you get free sooner than we all thought?" Robert smiled widely and proudly. He took a sip of wine from his glass before answering, "It must be my father's hard work. I told you, I won't be detained for long." His friends who heard Robert's explanation were quite surprised. However, they were happy to see their friend back and free. "Yeah, that's good then." Sarah relaxed too. Incidentally, her bo

William took the phone back from Robert's trembling hands. His eyes looked up at Robert, smiling slightly as he watched the look of fear that filled Robert's face. "I didn't do anything to your father," William said in a calm and steady voice, "I only told him about what happened today." Robert was still overwhelmed with fear, his whole body seemed to freeze. He couldn't believe the news that had just been delivered. His father had been furious earlier. In fact, he even threatened to break Robert's hand if he dared to touch William again. How could his father say that? Robert thought, needing an explanation for what had just happened. William responded with a smile full of mystery. Then, he said, "Just obey your father and do as I say." Robert was still in confusion, trying to process and understand what had just happened. His father's harsh and stern words were still echoing in his ears. It seemed impossible that William who shouldn't have any relationship could be so easily obe

A month later.Now, Robert and his friends gather at a café near campus. It's a cozy atmosphere, with sunlight streaming through the windows, giving the room natural light. Laughter and light conversation fill the air, along with the sound of the coffee machine and the distinctive, soothing aroma.Suddenly, the door of the café opened and William walked in, hand in hand with Vera. William looked relaxed with his disheveled hair, while Vera flashed her always charming smile. They looked so harmonious, as if they didn't care what others thought.Jordan noticed their arrival first. "Hey, that loser dared to come to this cafe," he said in a scornful tone.Robert, who was playing with his cell phone, heard Jordan's words and looked at him with a lazy gaze. He didn't really care what Jordan said.Jordan seemed to have other ideas. "Why don't you come over to his table right now and pour him a capucino of your own?" he suggested with a big smile.Robert didn't respond, instead he was busy wi

In a big meeting that celebrates none other than the new director of JL. CORP Sarah gets an invitation from Amanda to come. At the same time, Vera also invited all her college friends to come.Sarah didn't know anything about what was really going on. She had only just heard that William had made Amanda no longer serve as director. She's been replaced. Now she's just the business supervisor. Sarah talks about this as a bad thing about William.When Vera tries to get William to join them, Sarah gives her a concerned look.Jordan says, "Vera, you should divorce your husband."Vera furrowed her brow. "Divorce my husband?""That's right, Vera," Sarah continued. "You're so heartless to stay married to a husband who has already displaced your mother from her former position."William smiled at that. He said, "Sarah, my mother-in-law got a higher position if you must know. Anyway, I did it because I thought it was time for JL. CORP to do better and for my mother-in-law to rest and enjoy the

Amanda went limp, she was unsteady. Fortunately, Vera caught her before she fell."Mom, are you okay?"Amanda just shook her head slowly. She looked at William, thinking that he was useless and also just a nuisance to Vera. Lately he had given Amanda a lot of evidence, but she was still reluctant to accept that William was not the loser she thought he was.Now he's meeting with the big boss of a business in their country. One of the richest in their country was William's grandfather and it was clearly recognized before his eyes."Welcome to my home, Mrs. Lyn and my granddaughter-in-law." Lucas Anderson welcomed her graciously.Vera was still holding her mother but she couldn't take her eyes off Lucas.Lucas smacked William on the head, scolding him. "I told him to reveal his identity a long time ago, but he deliberately hid it."William grinned. Then he said to Amanda, "Mrs. Lyn, I apologize for only introducing my family to you now. I hope that from today I will be well received. Ple

"Wow! Isn't that the latest Bugatti that costs so much?" Stephani exclaimed as she saw a Bugatti parked in front of her office. A man got out after the car door was opened by the driver."Hey, isn't that Evan Nolan?" Deborah asked as she pointed at the man who had just opened the car door for William.Stephani noticed again from the upper floor where they were watching the handsome man who had just gotten out of the car. "Oh my, isn't that Ms. Vera's husband?" "Ms. Vera's husband?" Deborah asked with her eyebrows knitted together. Then, she chuckled, "Huh, I don't think that's possible. How could Ms. Vera's husband come to the city office in such a nice car. Who does he think he is?""I don't know, but look again," Stephani pointed out the window. "That is indeed Ms. Vera's husband.""Huh, is it really him?" Deborah asked again. "If it is him, what is he doing here?" Stephani shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. This is bound to be big news."While they were talking about William

The Rolls-Royce that William gave to Vera yesterday was in the name of Grand Street Commercial, not in the name of Vera or William. Meaning, they were using the company's inventory, not their own. That's what Sarah thought.Sarah laughed at that. She almost thought yesterday that they were so rich that they could own a Rolls-Royce."Huh, apparently it's just a company owned car." She poured him a glass of orange juice.Jaiden thanked his wife before he responded to her. "Huh, I expected that. How could an unemployed man like William give such a luxurious gift."Sarah sat in front of her husband, enjoying breakfast as well. "I'm still curious how William was able to get everything so easily. I remember that he gave my grandparents quite an expensive gift and now he can still give Vera a luxurious surprise. I'm quite curious how he was able to capitalize on all that."Jaiden thought about this too. "Hemh, he must be bragging right now and proud that he was able to fool his wife with tho

"Sarah are you taking me home?" Vera asked her cousin who was still stunned from the shock of just hearing William talk about Rolls-Royce."Yeah, sure." Sarah prepared to drive Vera home. Along the way, she only watched Vera who looked happy and nervous at the same time whether her husband really bought a Rolls-Royce.She drove the car at high speed and they arrived faster than William expected.Sarah and Vera finally arrived at the apartment. They got out of the car and walked to the elevator.As soon as the elevator doors opened, they walked to the parking lot. William was already waiting there, smiling broadly. He invited them to walk further into the parking lot.Sarah and Vera's eyes were immediately drawn to an elegantly parked car. It was a shiny black car, with a striking 'RR' logo on the front. It was a Rolls-Royce.Sarah almost froze, unable to believe that there was such a thing as a Rolls-Royce.But that didn't mean it was Vera's, did it?Vera looked happy. She approached

William was checking his work from the apartment. He received some good news, the Rolls-Royce he bought yesterday was ready to be delivered to the apartment, they were on their way.He hasn't said anything to Vera yet, still wanting to keep this as a surprise."Will, I'm going to the salon today, with Sarah. Is that okay?" Vera asked. She wasn't ready because she didn't think William would let her.It wasn't about him being possessive. Rather, it was about Sarah, who would usually tease Vera, making the atmosphere uncomfortable at times."Yes, you may." William agreed without further ado. "Have you chosen a good salon?"Vera mumbled for a while. "Uh, I don't think so. Sarah hasn't said anything about which salon she'll choose either.""Wait here for a moment!" William asked Vera to wait then he sent a message to Evan asking where a good salon was for Vera to get a treatment.Evan replied quickly with the name of a good salon. William checked it out over the Internet and he thought i

Today, William is in his office to find out how their business plan is progressing.Sean Montgomery said that Lucas Anderson also liked the proposal that Vera had made. Every number listed there and what it was used for seemed realistic.Actually, there are other companies that are also good at doing business proposals. However, since William had strongly agreed to propose his wife to get into this company and also they were competing with his own mother-in-law, Lucas sided with William this time and gave his grandson a chance to prove to his in-laws that he could be a good son-in-law."Your grandfather has agreed to this and I've also told your mother-in-law to agree to your request to appoint Vera as director."William smiled. "What did my mother-in-law say when you called her yesterday?"Sean shrugged his shoulders slightly, "She didn't say anything, just went along with what I told her to do."William raised one corner of his lips. That was good, he had expected that his mother-in

Sean Montgomery is ready to say who will be working with Grand Street Commercial. However, he is still holding back his announcement. Sean didn't give a reason why he was still holding back. However, Amanda got an invitation to meet with William."Well, while I was waiting to hear from Sean Montgomery, it was surprising that my son-in-law asked to meet." Amanda said that in a sarcastic tone.Two cups of warm and fragrant lattes were soon served on the table. William, who had just arrived, immediately raised his cup, inviting Amanda to make a toast. Amanda looked at him for a while. She felt it would be rude to refuse, so she raised her cup."Mrs. Lyn, sorry to interrupt your busy time," William said with a serious face.Amanda only responded indifferently, "You should work so you know how to respect time!"William just smiled, unfazed by Amanda's words."Well, drinking a latte to put you in a better mood, I guess borrowing fifteen minutes of your time won't bother you, right?" William

Vera has finalized her business proposal she submitted to the Grand Street Commercial company. However, William received other news that was no less surprising."I received two proposals from JL. CORP," Sean said as he called William."Two proposals?" William, who received the news, raised an eyebrow. "Who sent the proposals?""One in the name of Vera Lyn, your wife and the other in the name of Jhonas Rivery as the vice president of the company."William furrowed his brow. Why did Amanda plan this? Hadn't it been agreed that Vera would represent their company in the tender this time.Hemh, it seems that Amanda is secretly trying to cheat William and violate the agreement they have made.Hemh, but this is not a big deal. Because, William is the main character who controls all of this."Then you just accept both of them, during the presentation we will see the proposal that best fits our company's criteria.""Alright, Sir. I will do as you ask."Vera came out of the bathroom. Several ti
