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,

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.

    The party that was originally characterized by the low rumble of laughter and the sound of brindis cups, had now turned into a tense and confused atmosphere. People looked at each other, whispering, trying to understand and digest what had just happened. The light that had danced on happy faces was now reflected in every corner of the uncertain room. Sarah, the woman who had been the magnet of attention, was now the center of gossip. She who previously walked among the guests with a sweet and confident smile, now had to leave with a broken heart. Her cheerful face had been filled with gloom and anxiety. Daniel Withman was the talk of the party. Just as he had revealed his love for Sarah, now another woman was claiming to be pregnant with his child. This news was like a time bomb that exploded in the crowd, turning the party into a battlefield. The guests began to whisper, talking about Sarah's unfortunate fate.

    Sebastian chose to leave the party, deciding to seek peace in his usually quiet and cozy dorm room. There, he sits alone, calming his mind that's been muddled by the news he just heard. Suddenly, the door to his dorm room opened and Dany, his best friend, walked in. "Are you okay, Seb?" Sebastian looked at Dany, then smiled. "I'm fine, Dany. You don't have to worry," he replied, trying to reassure his friend. Dany patted Sebastian's shoulder, offering encouragement and support. "I know it must be tough, Bro," Dany said, his voice full of sympathy. "I can imagine what it's like to see the woman you love getting attention from another man, and then she accepts and they even get to do an intimate scene." Sebastian smiled again, wider this time. "I'm fine, Dany," he replied again, in a more reassuring tone. "I'm not bothered about Sarah. I'll get over it." Dany was relieved to hear Sebastian's answer. However, Sebastian continued, "Although I feel sorry for Sarah, I won't interfere.

    William felt heavy when he heard his best friend Vera's rejection. He frowned, trying to digest what had just happened."No, William, you won't be able to help us," Vera said in a cold, firm voice. There was a note of regret in her voice, but she stuck to her guns.William thought for a moment, trying to string together the right words. He wanted to help, but maybe now his role was not too important. "All right, if that's what you want.""I'll call you later, Vera," William said next."Yes, William, don't worry about us," Vera replied. "Sarah has asked Daniel for help. After all, they once loved each other. I'm sure Daniel will help."William agreed, even though he knew it would be in vain. Daniel wouldn't be able to help them this time.After hanging up the phone, William walked back to his dorm room, his footsteps. Apparently, William's roommates had heard the news about Sarah and they were talking about it.Andrew, in a hateful tone, said, "It's good that Sarah is now in custody."

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.

"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.

    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
