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

William turned his head, looking for the source of the voice. His eyes then met a familiar figure. Apparently, it was Merida, his ex-girlfriend who left him to be with Jordan.William looked around, trying to figure out why Merida was here alone. Where was Jordan?Merida, who noticed William's gaze, immediately solved the confusion. "Jordan went to the toilet," she explained with her chin up. "Well, it's a surprise that I met you."William just shrugged, then said yes. He didn't need to explain further. To him, perhaps it was meant to be. They met that night, in the same place, and in the same situation. Perhaps, this was the universe's way of telling William that he should always be aware of wherever enemies might appear.William noticed Merida. That night, Merida was wearing a black dress that accentuated her fair skin, with a fitted cut that showed off her beautiful curves.The details of the dress, such as the small sparkling sequins and the delicate pleated accents on the skirt,

"William wait!" Tania planned to call out to William more forcefully. However, the woman suddenly stopped her steps for a moment, then she held her voice.Tania clearly remembered the command Evan had given her. They were not to show that they knew William.The order echoed in her head, reminding her how important it was to keep this secret.Tania had a better plan. Instead of showing that she knew William, she would play the role of a good woman. A woman who was smart and protective of William.That way, Tania could gain William's trust. That way, she could approach William more deeply.Tania watched William from a distance, he was trying to choose a seat at an event. Some of the people there seemed to be ignoring him, as if they didn't care or even realize William's presence.Tania felt a little annoyed. "Too bad they don't know William," she muttered to herself. If only they knew who William was, they would probably scramble to find the best place for him.While William was busy lo

William was surprised when two women suddenly sat next to him. They were Loisa and Angela who seemed very eager to approach him. William watched them for a moment. Angela, who was right next to him, waved and said, "Good evening, Mr. Anderson, we meet again."Meanwhile, Loisa smiled as she pulled Angela's hand and said, "Good evening too, remember me, right?"William, who looked stiff, replied, "Good evening, Ladies. It's nice to see you again." Although his reply sounded stiff, the two women were still eager to approach William.Meanwhile, Tania, who was watching them, just stared sarcastically. She felt lucky that she managed to approach William before the two women.William refocused on the ongoing banquet.The MC of the banquet was preparing the order of events and started introducing the Withman and Montgomery families who were rumored to be working together. Angela looked confused and asked, "I wonder, why is Montgomery's name mentioned? Isn't this cooperation related to the And

That night, the atmosphere in the room was full of excitement and anticipation. The MC excitedly hosted the event, his voice booming through the room, spurring everyone's heart rate. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," he said with a big smile. "We are very grateful to have you all here tonight. We have an exciting agenda that we have prepared especially for you."After a few announcements and introductions, the MC finally called the Withman family representatives to the stage. "Now it's time for us to hear from the Withman family themselves. Please give a warm welcome to Stanley Withman!"Stanley, standing tall with an aura that exuded confidence, took the stage. He looked at the crowd and smiled, searching for familiar faces. In the crowd, his son, Daniel, stood proudly. He felt proud to see his father standing on stage, representing their family. His friends chuckled, mesmerized by Stanley's aura.He delivered his speech quite well. Talking about the development of their family b

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." Lucas Anderson welcomed her graciously.Vera was still holding her mother but she couldn't take her eyes off Lucas.Lucas smacked William on the head, scolding him.

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
