At the end, William had to lose to Martin because he couldn't prove that Martin had stolen his idea. This was a real shame, because he couldn't do anything about it. His presentation today was a failure, and Martin instead got a promotion from their boss to move up. William had to leave empty-handed. However, it's not over yet. One day, he will definitely be able to make Martin regret his behavior for daring to steal William's idea."William," called Martin, making William stop his steps and turn around to face Martin. "What's wrong?" asked William.Martin pulled one corner of his lips into a sardonic smile. "You don't seem to like that I succeeded in this presentation."William shrugged his shoulders, showing his indifference. "What should I do?" he asked rhetorically. "Should I congratulate the person who copied my idea exactly?"Martin scowled, visibly annoyed. "You have the audacity to still begrudge me for taking my idea!""It's a fact that you're the one who copied my idea," Wi

However, his expression changed when he saw a man standing next to her, "Well, I didn't expect to see you here."Vera herself was quite amazed and introduced William, "Mr. Rivery, this is my husband, William."Jonas smiled. Despite his dislike for William, the man tried to maintain his dignity. He reached out and shook hands with William."Good evening, Mr. Rivery. Nice to meet you," William said, trying to look friendly."Yes, I'm also pleased to meet you." Jhonas greeted him.Jhonas wasn't really interested in talking to William, forced to maintain his friendly demeanor. He was almost relieved when he heard Jaiden's voice calling his name, "Jhonas!"Jhonas saw this as an opportunity to end this less than exciting chat. "Sorry, I have to go," Jhonas said, saying goodbye before walking towards Jaiden."Congratulations on you

Thirty months have passed. That means it's been two and a half years since William lived with Vera. Living a harmonious household with various trials. Evan, who was assigned by Lucas to supervise William, gave the news that William had to visit Grand Street Commercial that day."What's the reason grandpa asked me to go there?" William asked when Evan met him.To be honest, Evan's arrival was a bit of a surprise. Because, he could suddenly ask permission from his superiors saying that he had to talk to William. Dimitri could easily allow him this made William conclude his own speculation."He said there were things that had to be discussed." Evan could only convey that according to Lucas' request.William snorted. "Isn't there still six months to go?"Evan couldn't answer that. "Sorry, William. I only came here to deliver Mr. Anderson's orders. As for the rest, you should ask him yourself."Apparently, William couldn't force Evan because he was now officially working for Lucas only."A

William came home. Previously, he had informed Vera that he would be returning late due to some business. So, Vera took a taxi home. After settling a few things at home, having dinner together, and finding them both relaxed. Then, William spoke about what his grandfather had said earlier."Vera, if any of my family wants to meet you. Would you be willing?" They were already in bed by now when William asked."To meet your family?" Vera asked again. "Who?"She remembered that William had no family anymore. Their marriage itself, not meeting William's family first."Actually, I still have a grandfather. He's been living in a nursing home all this time." William told according to his grandfather's instructions."Living in a nursing home?" Vera was quite surprised. "Why didn't you ever tell me you had a grandfather? We never even visited him, Will."William scratched his head. "It's, I think, umh ...." Ah, damn. This grandfather of his was making William look bad in front of Vera."Are yo

William returned with a beaming face back to his apartment. However, when Vera asked him about his happy expression, he didn't want to explain it. He still wanted to keep it a secret for a while, even though he didn't have a good enough reason. At least he still wanted to see until all of Vera's family would open their eyes and regret having insulted Vera all this time.Days passed and while William was busy preparing to return to Grand Street Commercial, his small family received an invitation to a big gathering in Vera's family. This time it was to commemorate the four-year anniversary of Jason Lyn's passing.Although Vera is reluctant to come because it is certain that she will only be compared to Sarah or her mother's other acquaintances, William asks Vera to come. After all, this was an event to honor her father.At the meeting, many family members came. Some of Vera's cousins from her father's family as well as Sarah's family. During the meeting, apart from the happiness, of co

William had indeed finished his business at the old office and also returned to Grand Street Commercial. However, at home he didn't explain anything to Vera."Will, aren't you going to work?" Vera, who was serving breakfast, was suspicious of her husband not being prepared.William grinned. "Nope.""You got fired?" Vera was completely shocked."I'm not fired, Ver." William asked his wife to calm down. "I just changed jobs."Vera was suddenly dizzy. "If you don't work, how can we save money, Will?" she asked dizzily. "After all, you're challenging Sarah and my mom."William relaxed

The next day, while William was still at home, Evan informed him that he had finalized the building and decorations. They would be working on it soon."Sir, regarding the décor that you requested, is there anything you want to change or is it fixed according to the previous concept you gave?" Evan asked to make sure."I think it's just right." William had no plans to change or add. He asked for the building to be decorated with lots of flowers dominated by white. For everything else, the warm colors matched Vera's expectations.William prepared this all as a surprise. That's why he couldn't invite Vera to discuss further about how the building would be decorated. Now all William could do was guess what his wife's taste was and hopefully, what he did would match Vera's expectations."Very well, Sir." Evan had gotten clarity about the decorations. "Sir, I would also like to remind you about the designer Liam Vincenzo, he is ready to make the dress in 9 days. Today, Mr. Vincenzo requeste

"We'll have to keep waiting until this is over, Sarah," Amanda said in an annoyed tone. "But after this, I'm going to talk to Vera. I want to know where William got the money for all this. It's not a simple thing." Sarah, Jaiden, and Amanda then sat back down at their table, still in a state of shock. They saw William and Vera walking in the center of the room, talking and laughing with the important guests. They looked happy and confident, as if this was something they did every day. They waited curiously for the party to end. When the party ended, Amanda immediately looked for Vera. She wanted to get answers to all the questions that were on her mind. How could William, whom she had always thought of as an ordinary person, throw such a big party? "I don't feel well," Sarah said, feeling her head spin. "I need to use the restroom." With permission, she got up from the table and walked towards the toilet, leaving Amanda and Jaiden still sitting in astonishment and confusion. In the

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.

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?"

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
