"Beautiful flowers, for the most beautiful woman." William said those romantic words as Vera was getting into the car.Vera looked surprised. She received the flowers filled with happiness."Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart." William congratulated Vera on their third year of marriage."Do you remember this is our wedding anniversary?" Vera sat up. She hadn't fastened her seatbelt yet because she was first busy inhaling the scent of the flowers William had given her."Someone marked it on the calendar. There's no way I can't remember." William rolled his eyes. He should have known because Vera didn't seem to want this moment to pass."I did that on purpose." Vera admitted it because she knew most men would forget important moments.William just smiled."Like the flowers I gave you?" William asked hopefully as he watched Vera"I like them." Vera admits it and she doesn't get tired of inhaling the fresh scent of the roses.The first surprise had worked. It was just a matter of waiting for t

Jaiden, with a face full of anger, smiled sarcastically, "Alright, William. I'll prove to you that I can meet Sean Montgomery. And when that happens, I hope you're ready with your embarrassment!"William only showed a calm smile. "I will wait patiently, Jaiden."The tension in the room was growing. Sarah spoke up. "William, you're just getting carried away. You have the nerve to challenge Jaiden. Watch out, you'll embarrass yourself and Vera."William tugged at the corner of his lips. "I was going to say, prepare yourselves mentally!"Amanda was also annoyed at her son-in-law's attitude. "William, behave yourself!"William looked at his mother-in-law. "Mrs. Lyn, if you intend to move your business forward, you should entrust everything to your son."Amanda just snorted. Ever since Vera decided to reject many good men just to choose William, Amanda had been very disappointed with her ever since. "There's no need to talk about Sean Montgomery anymore," Amanda said, ending the argument

At first, Vera was skeptical, not believing that Sean, a man who had been known to be quite difficult to conquer, would take the conversation in a serious direction. She had always seen Sean as authoritative, assertive, and a little mysterious.However, her doubts were soon dispelled when they entered Sean's office. The room, which was usually filled with a relaxed and warm atmosphere, now turned into a serious arena for business discussions. In the center of the room, the Grand Street Commercial logo was displayed.They sat across from each other, on the large mahogany table that Sean usually used to confer. The discussion was in full swing, with Vera demonstrating her in-depth knowledge of the business and Sean making what seemed to be a very lucrative offer.Sean offered a contract with a fantastic value, reaching 500 million dollars. Hearing the figure, Vera suddenly panicked. ***William, as usual, picked Vera up in his favorite car. Along the way, Vera couldn't hide the big smi

This morning, as Vera was applying moisturizer, William stood behind her and said, "Ver, I think you should submit your resignation today."Vera, who was surprised, turned around and looked at William with a confused expression. "Resign? But why, Will?""Because you're working on something big. I think the preparation of the proposal to be submitted to Grand Street Commercial is quite draining." William tried to calm down Vera who looked confused and surprised.Vera, still confused. She looked at William. "But, Will, JL Corp is my dad's company. This is the legacy he left to me. Is it really natural for me to resign?""You didn't leave it."William smiled. "You're just giving yourself space to concentrate on bigger projects. You're not leaving JL Corp, you're taking it to the next level."Vera looked doubtful, weighing William's words."Vera, your company is public. Your mother is the biggest shareholder and you are under Jhonas Rivery." William explained to his wife as he took Vera's

"The project that will be undertaken with Grand Street Commercial is not a small project. They are investing billions of dollars. Can you handle that on your own?" Amanda asked."Think about it, there are a lot of big companies that will bid for them. How dare you challenge me."William still didn't answer anything. "You're even making my relationship with my daughter more fractured because of your attitude!" Amanda accused again dispassionately.William shook his head, denying his mother-in-law's accusations. "It's not that, Mrs. Lyn, believe me that Vera is capable.""I will offer you two choices. Vera resigns from her current position, or you give her the project."Amanda glared at that. "I'm sure she'll be able to do it," William added.Vera, who was stared at by her mother, could only swallow. Even though William was very confident in her, she also had to admit that her ability in business was mediocre. Yesterday, when she met with Sean Montgomery, they didn't talk much about

"What's for dinner tonight?" asked William, trying to break the silence while Vera was busy with all the paperwork. She had already contacted a few people who were willing to work with her and would have to convince Sean with her proposal.Vera thought for a minute. "Why don't we order in? I'm not too hungry and I'm tired enough to cook."William nodded, "Okay, I'll order your favorite food.""Thanks." She smiled.William rubbed Vera's head. " Just leave your work for now. Come with me to watch TV."Vera turned her head and smiled tiredly. "Okay." It just so happened that she needed a break."What's on tonight?" asked Vera as she led her husband out of the room."There's a rugby match tonight," William reminded, flashing an excited smile. "My favorite team is playing."Okay, Vera will accompany him. It just so happens that she needs this kind of entertainment.While in the TV room, William searched for the channel that was showing the rugby match. After getting it, they both watched t

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

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?"

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
