"William, I--"William raised his hand to stop Gracia who wanted to speak. "You don't have to say anything."Gracia looked at Viston and reflexively the man pulled Gracia to stay close to him, as if emphasizing that he wanted to protect the girl. William saw the gesture and he smiled to himself at it.Viston stood with a serious expression, admitting that he was responsible for their presence in that place. "Gracia's not wrong, I forced her to come here," he said.The situation should not have caused laughter. Yet, somehow, William couldn't help his quiet chuckle. His voice was enough to catch the attention of Gracia and Viston, who were now staring at him with confused and slightly disturbed looks.William, realizing his mistake, immediately offered an apology. "Sorry!" he said, his hands immediately raised in a defensive gesture. "I didn't mean to laugh at you guys."Gracia, quick to act, released Viston's hand grip and made a small dash towards William. "Young Master Anderson, what

Tania met someone who gave her medicine, which would be useful to bring her and William closer together. The man didn't mention his identity, just said he wanted to be called Mr. X."Well. Mister X," Tania said when they met at a cafe that was located a little far from the city where Tania lived. "Can you guarantee that the potion you gave me will be useful later?"Mr. X was wearing his mask, quite mysterious, not showing his identity. Tania could only recognize him by his voice and the code they had agreed upon."Just put a drop of this liquid in his drink. I'm sure she'll be horny for you," Mr. X said.Tania held the bottle of liquid, then looked at it intently before she looked back at Mr. X."But you can guarantee it, can't you? If this isn't there, won't there be any side effects?""Take it easy, Miss. I can guarantee that this medicine is very safe.""Alright." Tania put the medicine into her bag. "If it's poisonous or dangerous, I won't just let you go."Mr. X nodded with a smi

Evan, took the Maine Coon cat William found to a nearby veterinary clinic. The cat appeared weak and needed immediate help. At the veterinary clinic, the cat was received by an experienced veterinarian. With deft hands and a compassionate heart, the vet began to give the cat the care it needed. The cat received a physical examination, medication, and nutritious food.Evan waited patiently by the cat's side, hoping it would recover soon. He was relieved that the cat was now in good hands and getting the care it needed. Unfortunately, there was one thing Evan couldn't avoid, his allergy to cat hair. Throughout his time with the unnamed cat, Evan sneezed many times. Worst of all, his nose was red and itchy. The veterinarian, Liliyana by name, asked Evan, "Is this your cat?"Gesturing, Evan replied, "This is not my cat. This is a street cat that I happened to bring here."Liliana smiled, "Sir, that's very kind of you. Bringing a street cat here for treatment, while you yourself seem to

Evan wanted to save Tania. However, his allergy to cat hair prevented him from acting.Seeing the commotion, William knew he had to intervene directly to resolve the situation."Hey, Naughty Girl!" He yelled as he pulled Choco, the cat, off Tania's body. The cat's claws still stung Tania's skin.Tania was almost driven mad by the sudden attack. She looked scared and confused.William managed to calm Choco in his arms. The cat seemed to calm down under his treatment."Why did you attack?" William asked Choco, as if the cat could answer.Tania with a pale face and disheveled hair pointed at Choco, "Whose cat is this?""She's my cat." William answered without hesitation."Your cat?" Tania was surprised, "Since when did you have a cat?" She looked confused and curious about Choco's whereabouts.Actually, William also did not expect that he would get a cat. This happened by accident because he suddenly liked the cat and Vera also loved it very much. "I just got her yesterday. I found her o

That morning, William woke up in his dorm room with heavy eyes and a heart that was not fully awake. However, a message on his cell phone ruined everything. Vera's father had passed away. He had collapsed suddenly and when he was taken to the hospital, his life was already in danger.William's heartbeat raced, his thoughts drifting to Vera. How was she now? What could he do to help? He quickly grabbed his jacket and ran to the funeral home.Vera's family funeral home was silent and somber. Sad faces and teary eyes filled every corner of the room. The sound of sobs could be heard faintly from a distance, combined with the smell of mourning flowers that pierced the nose. In the center of the room, the coffin opens, revealing the figure of Vera's father who is now calm in his final sleep.In front of the coffin, Vera stands. Her normally cheerful and energetic figure now looked weak and fragile. Her hair, which was usually flowing beautifully, now looked disheveled, as if reflecting the

William always felt that his grandfather tended to be unserious and playful. For him, differences of opinion between grandfather and grandson were normal, especially when they had not seen each other for a long time. Stubbornness is an inherent trait in William, but he believes that his grandfather should understand that he is not a completely selfish person.William genuinely wanted to give his best to the company as long as he was given the opportunity. More than that, he also wanted to prove to his grandfather that Vera, the woman he chose, was a good person. However, his grandfather doesn't know Vera and William's every attempt to arrange a meeting is always rejected.William's concern lies with Vera. He was afraid that Vera would take offense at his grandfather's attitude. However, what his grandfather doesn't realize is that when William was poor and no one wanted to be friends with him, only Vera cared. Merida even left William for good, while Vera remained loyal and harbored f

William, after a month of leaving his grandfather's big company, Grand Street Commercial, was looking for a new job. Although he didn't admit to working there, his good educational values made him optimistic about job opportunities elsewhere.However, challenges arose. Some large companies already had internal recruitment systems in place, and did not accept outside applications. Even when William tried to apply for important positions, they said the positions were already filled. If William wanted to work, he had to start from a regular staff position or even an office courier. No matter how smart he was or how many good grades he had, without a network, getting a position in the company became almost impossible.While William was busy looking for a job, his phone rang. It was Vera, an old friend he rarely heard from. Her voice sounded serious and urgent, "William, we need to talk. There's something we need to discuss."They agreed to meet at a nearby café. William was quite curious

Evan entered the room with the report in his hand. "Sir," he said in a respectful voice. Lucas was enjoying the relaxing aroma therapy, immersed in the lavender and ylang-ylang scents that filled the room."What's wrong?" asked Lucas, gesturing for the therapists who were helping him to leave the room. They left, leaving Lucas and Evan alone.Evan bowed slightly, a gesture that suggested the news he was about to deliver was private and confidential. "The young master is getting married," he said carefully.Lucas smiled slightly, as if he already knew the news. In his heart, Lucas felt a mixture of happiness and worry. "When is the wedding?" he asked, trying to mask his excitement.Evan felt uneasy. He knew that William was having financial problems. Many of William's assets had been frozen, and this meant that he wouldn't have enough money to throw the lavish wedding he had dreamed of."It looks like they're just doing the paperwork, no party," Evan explained, trying to calm his nerve

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.

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."

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
