William had been quite excited to watch Andrew's team's basketball game since yesterday. After all, it wasn't just any game, it was the much-anticipated city league final.However, as often happens in life, even the best laid plans can change in an instant. Just as William was about to leave campus and head to the stadium, he received a call from Evan reminding him that he had an important meeting with a business colleague."You guys go first, I'll catch up." William said to his friends. From the expressions shown, it seemed that William was a bit disappointed."Is there a problem?" Andy asked.William flashed a smile. "Nothing. I just need to meet someone to discuss some work matters.""William, you're too diligent. Even on weekends you still take work," Sebastian said.William patted Sebastian on the shoulder. "Bro, one day you'll understand why I'm so diligent."What he meant was that William was not only the owner of a large company, but he was also the head of the company and his

Andrew was furious at Jeremy's words. He felt that Jeremy was very unfair to William."Jeremy, that's not fair," Andrew said in a firm tone. "Jeremy, that's not fair," Andrew said firmly. "Just because you're the basketball team captain, can you do as you please?"Jeremy, who was much bigger than William and Andrew, approached them and pushed Andrew. A fight almost broke out.William felt uncomfortable seeing Andrew arguing with Jeremy for his sake. He knew how important relationships were between team members and he didn't want to be the reason for the division between them."Andrew, enough," William said. "Jeremy's right, I don't need to come."William gave Jeremy a sharp look. The man was deliberately looking for trouble with him."I'll go." William didn't want to cause trouble.Andrew looked at William, remembering the time when William gave him the coupon for free shoes. It was a very meaningful moment for Andrew. It was the moment he realized how valuable William was as a friend

They stared wide-eyed as the red Ferrari pulled away leaving a trail of dust in its wake. Their faces were flushed with deep shame.All of them had insulted William and considered him just a low-class man, now to slap them with something quite painful.Along with the disappearance of the dust left by the red Ferrari, Jordan was deeply embarrassed and his anger overflowed. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms."Damn it!" shouted Jordan, his voice filled with hatred. He kicked a small rock on the road hard, sending it flying far away. "Who the hell does he think he is, huh? Just because he has a Ferrari, he can humiliate us like this?"Robert, who was standing next to Jordan, squeezed his head. He let out a long breath, his eyes focused on the traces of dust still visible on the road. His face looked confused and full of questions."This is crazy!" She was also annoyed. "How can that hobo have such a fancy car!""Could his lottery winnings have bought that car?"

Now it was William's group's turn to have a good laugh. Blondie could only grumble as she watched William's group having fun. This was a major blow to Blondie. William and his friends walked out of the restaurant, leaving Blondie and his friend staring from a distance with envy and confusion. After leaving the restaurant, William and his friends headed to the parking lot. They walked leisurely, laughing and joking. When they arrived at the parking lot, they were surprised to see a red Ferrari parked there. This was the car that had been the talk of the campus. "Why is this car here?" asked Andy, looking at the red Ferrari parked on the side of the stadium. He and his friends had just watched Andrew's game, and the car seemed to have nothing to do with what they were doing. "Ah, that's right," said Sebastian, realizing the same thing. "This car was at the stadium, and now it's here. Whoever the owner is, he must be near us now." Andrew looked at the Ferrari with a curious gaze

Once William entered the dormitory, he could see his friends already waiting. Their facial expressions were full of curiosity and confusion. Before being asked, he would explain."Guys, I'll explain," said William, who was the 'accused' that night. "That Ferrari," he said, pointing to the luxury car outside the window, "is not mine. It was entrusted to me by a wealthy family on vacation in Asia. They entrusted this car to me." William doesn't like to lie. However, in this case, he had to. He couldn't tell them about his family. All William could say was that they were very generous people."The rich man is even a big donor at our college." William added.Andy looked at William with an incredulous look, "Seriously, Will? Do you know any rich people like that?" William nodded, "Yes, I do. But it's not something I want to show off. I don't want you to think that I'm using their relationship for personal gain." Sebastian commented, "But Will, this is a Ferrari. That's no ordinary c

Jordan thought hard about how to get a Ferrari. He talked to his mom about it, but instead of getting support, he got scolded."You're going crazy, Jordan!" yelled Sheryl, his mom."Your mom is just a widow. Luckily there's a man who's willing to take her in and we can have a pretty good life. Don't ruin it by asking me to buy you a Ferrari!" added Sheryl in an annoyed tone.Mickey, Jordan's younger brother, looked at his brother and shook his head. He couldn't understand his brother's strange behavior."Why are you suddenly asking for that fancy car?" asked a confused Mickey.Jordan was also annoyed with his brother and mother who knew nothing about what he was dealing with."You'd be surprised if you knew the truth," Jordan said in a serious tone. He felt that his family did not understand the challenges he faced and the ambitions he had.In fact, ever since William's sudden good fortune, Jordan had chosen not to tell his mother anything. It seemed like he wanted to keep all this to

On the way, Merida began to wonder what Jordan would do with the money."I'll use the money to bet," Jordan replied casually.Merida was surprised to hear Jordan's answer. She knew that betting could be very risky, and she was worried that Jordan might lose all the money."Bet? You said bet?" asked Merida, filled with disappointment.Jordan nodded. "Yes, I entered the bet and the prize was two million dollars. I'm sure I'm lucky enough."Merida was frustrated. She felt like she had been played by Jordan. She felt that Jordan had abused her trust.Without thinking, Merida punched Jordan in the arm. "Give me back the money!" she cried, her voice filled wit

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
