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

The man, Jeremy, was the head of the dormitory and Belinda's cousin.William still couldn't guess what Jeremy's purpose was in greeting him.When he arrived, William asked, "What's wrong?" William's eyes were full of curiosity.Jeremy looked annoyed. "Do you think this dormitory is your private apartment, so you can come and go as you please?" he said in a sharp tone.William was surprised and astonished. He didn't expect to be confronted with a question like this."But I always get home before closing time, don't I?" he retorted, trying to defend himself. He did often go home at night, but always made sure to return before the dormitory closing time.Jeremy snorted, unsatisfied with William's answer. "Closing time? You think that's the problem?" he said, crossing his arms over his chest.William was confused, he didn't know what exactly was the problem. He felt like he was walking on thin ice, afraid of making the wrong move.Jeremy continued, "It's not just about closing time or any

The morning sun began to rise, giving a golden color to the blue sky and campus park. Some students seemed to be busy walking to and fro, some carrying books, some were engrossed in conversation. In the middle of the crowd, two figures were seen standing under a large tree, enjoying the fresh morning air. Belinda's hair was tied in a ponytail, making her look beautiful.Meanwhile, Jeremy looked different. His face was upset, his eyes were bulging and his lips were moving quickly, indicating that he was talking about something that made him angry. The topic this time was not far from William."You know, he's shamelessly wrapping food for the dorm kids, after just showing off with me getting out of a fancy car," Jeremy complained, his voice sounding furious.Belinda couldn't help but laugh at Jeremy's story. "Geez, Jer. You're too serious," she said, still laughing. Jeremy looked at Belinda with a puzzled expression. "You should have seen who was driving him," Belinda continued. Jeremy

William's cell phone rang. The young man's eyes fell on his phone screen, which showed the name "Evan". He reached for his phone, and quickly swiped the screen to pick up the call."Hello, Sir," Evan said in his distinctive voice, clearly audible on the other side. "I'm on my way to deliver a suit for you. Where can I find you?""Deliver a suit?" William questioned He was still confused that Evan would suddenly deliver a suit. "What for?"Evan explained, "The Withman family is having a banquet at the Grand Galaxy Hotel. You know, they are in the process of collaborating with your grandfather's business."William was confused. "Aren't they going bankrupt?" He remembered hearing news about the financial difficulties faced by the Withman family."Yes, they have been acquired. However, the Withmans are only helping to run the management," Evan explained.William was surprised to hear Evan's explanation. He had not expected that the Withmans were now under the control of the Anderson famil

Soon the sky began to change color, from bright blue to red orange, a sign that the sun was beginning to set. Evan drove a striking red Ferrari, speeding down the road towards the campus gate. The clock on the dashboard read 6pm.Although the car was quite conspicuous, Evan always knew how to hide it. He chose a rather dark spot on the side of the gate, a place that was quite hidden from the crowd of students walking by. It was quite sheltered by the lush trees and the shadows of the tall buildings around it.Evan parked his car carefully, making sure that it was not clearly visible from the main road. He turned off the engine, then looked back, checking if anyone had seen them. Calmly, he looked at the crowd of students walking by, waiting for William to arrive.As the campus crowds began to die down, Evan sat quietly in his luxury car, waiting for the right moment to start his next stunt. He knew that in this world of attention, solitude and secrecy were precious.In the distance, W

"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."

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.

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
