"I told you, sit down and calm down," he said in a low but firm voice. William directed his gaze towards Sebastian.Andrew, who was sitting next to Sebastian, still wasn't sure if this was going to go well. "But, Will... what if we get into trouble after this?"William was still being cool. "Andrew, we just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. There's nothing to be afraid of."Sebastian was still worried. "Will, I just ask that we don't do anything that could get us into trouble later," he said in a pleading tone.After a while of the road trip, they arrived at the Aurora Skyline.

Daniel couldn't answer either. At first he thought William was just pretending to have money when he came here. How could that poor student afford to book a place here? And, now that question was answered when they saw Sean Montgomerry with William.Now, they were also wondering themselves. Because, just imagine that a Daniel could be ignored and Sean preferred to greet William. It didn't make sense that they weren't people who had a close relationship. The boys were still wondering about William's familiarity with Sean.Only Vera was ignorant. She even supported William who eventually succeeded in humiliating Robert again. Oh, if it wasn't for Sarah who stubbornly invited her here, Vera would definitely not want to have anything to do with Robert.Now, Vera is laughing at Robert and the others because they can't even get a place as nice as William's. This room is an ordinary room. Meanwhile, the room used by William was much more elite with the concept of a pavilion that could direct

Her cheerful face attracts a lot of attention from students passing by. Robert and Jordan happened to be passing by and they were interested in buying some."Wow, they look delicious," Robert said, pointing at the chocolate chip cookies."Yes, they are indeed delicious," Vera replied rather curtly. She was forced to be friendly because she thought her cookies had to be bought so that Vera could donate to the FoodHope Foundation. "Buy more, I'm raising money to donate!"Jordan chuckled. Vera was very standoffish, but Robert still stubbornly approached her.Jordan held a pack of cookies, Merida wrapped her arms around her lover."Do you want some?" Jordan asked

he morning sun had just greeted Chicago with its warm, soft rays. The voices of William's roommates who were still sleeping soundly added to the silence of the morning.Suddenly, the sound of the phone ringing broke the silence of the morning. William, who was still half-awake, rummaged through his bag to find the source of the sound. His cell phone screen showed the name 'Evan'.Knowing that there would be an important conversation discussed, William couldn't answer it here. He quickly went to the bathroom, washed his face, and then changed his clothes. He needed a better place to talk to Evan.As he was about to walk out of the dorm, Andrew, his roommate and notorious morning bird, was already sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee in hand. "Where are you going so early in the morning, Will?" asked Andrew with a look of astonishment on his face."I have to go to the library," William replied quickly, trying to avoid further questions. He knew that Andrew would be suspicious if he

Someone came out of the elevator, making both of them turn their heads. He called out to Tania who seemed to have just finished defeating a man. The woman had mastered several martial arts moves. She can take care of herself. However, sometimes her reactions like to overreact and that could endanger others.Seeing someone she knew coming, Tania smiled sarcastically. "You'll regret that you dared to mess with me. You'll be in big trouble!"William could only remain silent, swallowing hard. Cold sweat ran down his forehead, making his hair wet and sticky. He couldn't hit a girl. It was just that, if he let himself be beaten by Tania, he would be beaten in the long run. The woman's punches were strong enough and felt so much on his body that it made his chest tight."You should have asked me who I was first, otherwise you'll be the one who regrets it." William reminded Tania.Suddenly, when he was caught off guard, Tania moved quickly. She kicked William's leg with full force, making Wil

"I... I." Tania stammered, her words caught in her throat. She felt so embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She felt like she was in a nightmare and wished she could wake up soon.William held her slapped cheek. He felt a sharp pain, but he didn't show it. He also felt pain in his stomach, where he had been punched by Tania. He moaned softly, trying not to show his pain. Sean felt ashamed and angry about this situation. He felt responsible for what had happened and felt he had to apologize to William."Mr. Anderson, I am truly sorry for this incident," Sean said as he continued to slouch, not daring to straighten up.William was not short-tempered. He understood that Sean was not at fault and he was not the one who had to apologize. He looked at Tania, waiting for her to apologize herself. He knew that Tania felt very guilty and ashamed, and he wanted to hear her apologize.William was intentionally dramatizing the situation. He wanted to make Tania feel more guilty and apologize

Actually, if William intended to be rude, he would have done it earlier. From the moment Tania hit him, William could have immediately retaliated. However, he was not that kind of man. He wouldn't hit a woman because that's the nature of a loser. He would rather teach her a lesson than retaliate in such a rude manner.Tania felt like she was in a whirlpool of intense emotions. On the one hand, she was relieved that William, who turned out to be the future leader of the company, didn't hit her back. On the other hand, she was on the verge of tears, feeling the weight of shame and guilt on her heart. She had made an unforgivable mistake. However, she had to hold back her tears that were about to fall, and she had to swallow her shame and guilt. She had to be professional, no matter how difficult it was."Mr. William, it's really kind of you to forgive Tania," Sean said in a voice full of gratitude. He was grateful that William didn't retaliate in a harsh way, and he was touched by Willi

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

"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.

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
