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. Some felt sorry for her, suggesting that she leave Daniel immediately.

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."

Sarah and Vera were surprised to hear the news that the officer had just delivered."Has Mr. Montgomery really forgiven us?" asked Sarah with an expectant face.The officer glanced at them with a harsh look, "Yes, he forgave you. But, don't try to do this again. If not, you could end up in jail for real!"The officer's words made Sarah and Vera feel scared. They both felt as if there was a huge weight on their hearts."But why did he suddenly forgive us?" asked Sarah again, trying to find an explanation. Because, this sounded a bit impossible since they were so angry before."Suddenly forgive you?" The officer mocked in a sarcastic tone, making Sarah and Vera even more frightened. "If it wasn't for the owner of Golden Street requesting that you be released, of course Mr. Montgomery wouldn't have released you!" the officer continued."What?" Sarah was shocked. "You mean it wasn't Daniel Withman who did it?"The officer was angry. "What do you mean by asking about Daniel Withman?"Sarah

William furrowed his brows, his astonishment growing. He didn't understand why Sarah acted like that. She should have been more thoughtful and grateful if she felt unable to do it herself. However, Sarah still maintained her cynical and haughty attitude in front of William.Sarah, with her flat face, looked at William. Her eyes showed annoyance and disappointment. She didn't understand why William couldn't understand how she felt. She thought he was just playing with her feelings."What's wrong?" William asked in a calm tone. He tried not to be provoked by Sarah's attitude. He knew he had to stay calm and try to understand Sarah.Sarah was annoyed by William's attitude."Come on, just answer! I asked you a question!" Sarah said in a high tone. Sarah folded her hands, her face looking tense. "You know, right, that the restaurant is holding me and they're asking for millions of dollars in compensation?" Sarah said in a stern tone.William smiled, looking at Sarah with a calm expression

William's life has been rather quiet lately. When those who were haughty towards William finally hit the rock, he didn't know if they really wouldn't bother him anymore or if they were waiting for an opportunity to bother him.Currently, William is around the campus area, near the library to be precise. Sitting on a long bench with his earphones on. He was alone, enjoying the quiet.However, it seems like William's quiet day didn't last long because his grandfather informed him that he was going to send a car for William."Grandpa, I can't accept the car." William refused outright when they had a phone call."William, you have to accept this car. I'll have Evan deliver it to your dorm." Lucas Anderson could not be denied when he had asked his grandson to accept the car."You have at least three Ferraris at home, what are they for if you don't want to use them?" Lucas reminded.William was afraid that if he remained stubborn, his grandfather would get angry. So, he reluctantly accepted

That afternoon, the atmosphere on campus changed. A bright red Ferrari was parked gracefully in a parking lot that was usually filled with bicycles and motorcycles. No one knew where the car had come from, and who owned it.The students on campus, who were usually busy with their books and laptops, were now shocked and mesmerized. They stood around the car, wondering and whispering to each other. Their eyes were rounded, and their mouths were wide open. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.Belinda happened to be passing by. She saw the crowd and curiously approached to see what was going on.The girl also noticed the parked cars. Her eyes examined every detail. She folded her arms across her chest, showing a skeptical expression."Wow, what rich idiot would park a Ferrari in a place like this?" Belinda said."Ha-ha, I think he's an anti-mainstream person," Angela said in support of her friend.Belinda was still watching the car, her mind full of questions. For Belinda, this wa

"Oh, nothing," he said when his friend Andrew asked what was going on. William tried to smile, but his eyes couldn't hide the anxiety."I have to go," William said, trying to ease the anxiety that was starting to build up inside him."Where are you going?" asked Andrew"On business," William replied briefly. He knew he couldn't say much more. There were things that were better left a secret.Sebastian snorted. "You're always busy." He said in a half-joking and half-serious tone.William laughed. "Yeah, you know I'm busy." He replied in a light tone. Then, said goodbye to his friends and walked towards his car that was parked nearby.William intended to use it to go somewhere. However, it seemed unlikely. Some students still seemed to be watching who the car belonged to.William stopped, frozen in place. He felt like he was in the center of the stage, with all eyes on him. Suddenly, a loud voice broke the silence."Hey, William!" shouted Jordan. His voice was loud enough to attract the

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."

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
