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

Ten days later, Merida finally got the money she needed. She gave the money to Jordan, her boyfriend. Merida knew that Jordan sometimes liked to spend money on unnecessary things, so she felt the need to make sure that the money would be put to good use.The two of them were out for a walk after class, riding in a car to go somewhere. 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

The situation escalates as time goes by. Jordan no longer showed her affection and care. He was now the most selfish and selfish person in the world. The debt he made on the bet has ruined his relationship with Merida, who is sinking deeper and deeper into despair and fear.Whenever Merida's phone would ring, the debt collectors would ask her to pay up. Every time it happened, it scared her. They didn't care about her explanation that she wasn't the one in debt, but Jordan. They only cared about one thing, getting their money back.During the first month Jordan gave Merida hope. He transferred some money to help out the girl. But that was short-lived. The next month, the help from Jordan started to dwindle. Even when Merida tried to inquire about the matter, Jordan was always evasive and avoidant.And as has been the case for the past few weeks, Jordan didn't provide any help to Merida either. He didn't even care about Merida's worsening condition. He seemed to prefer to ignore Merida

This situation made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he tried to ignore it.Sarah, the girl who initially hated William so much and wanted to stay away from him, recently started approaching him. Their change in attitude made William smile sarcastically. He knew, it was his status now that made the girls approach, not because they were really interested in him.***In the campus cafeteria, Sarah was sitting

After that embarrassing incident, it seemed as if William became the butt of jokes from his friends on campus. Now, every time he passed by them, his friends on campus would tease, "Hey William, if you don't have money to buy food, I have a small balance in my account." This would be followed by a crisp laugh that echoed through the air.Andy would occasionally defend William and say they didn't need to say such useless things. However, it seemed that they preferred to tease. Especially when there was Robert who loved to laugh at them with all kinds of gossip. William was getting more and more humiliated by them.In the evening while in the dorm room.Andrew shook his head at William's attitude this time."You should have told us first if you didn't have money to buy food for Vera."William scratched his head. He also didn't think that his rash behavior would make him the subject of ridicule on campus like this.Sebastian added, "Because of your rash behavior, you are now being humili

The headlights of William's car should have made Vera realize he was coming. However, it seemed like they were so engrossed in their conversation that Vera didn't care. William turned off the car engine, thinking for a moment. Should he get off or not?Vera noticed William's arrival, the Ferrari car was quite conspicuous. The girl patted the thigh of the boy next to her, then she made a small run towards the car. Vera tapped on the glass. William opened the door immediately. The man put his foot on the ground and he greeted Vera. "Why don't you come down and say hello to me, instead of staying here?"William scratched the back of his head. "I thought you were busy, so it's not nice to interrupt." Vera laughed quite loudly at that. "What's busy? I was just waiting for you. Come on in." Vera took William's hand. It was an ordinary touch. They had been friends for a long time. However, for some reason tonight his heart was beating so fast, like there was something different about the

William was shocked. He stared at Vera wide-eyed, unable to believe what he had just heard. He never thought that Vera would actually like him.After the shock wore off, William felt happy."I'm sorry, Ver, that I couldn't dare to approach you. I thought... I wasn't your equal back then."Vera shook her head at William's confession. "Since when did I judge someone by their social status?"William knew that because Vera was very kind, it was impossible for her to judge someone by their social status. However, considering that there were many men who approached Vera, it was quite surprising that she said she liked William.Vera felt that the atmosphere between them was very awkward."I'd better go in first." Vera, stood up and walked slowly towards the door of her house, leaving William who was still sitting on the garden bench.William looked at Vera's back. Then, she stopped her steps. She turned around, her expression a little hard to guess. Every now and then Vera fluttered her hand

In the hospital waiting room, the atmosphere was quiet and tense. Amanda looked at Thomas with teary eyes and a heavy heart. Her husband was lying in the operating room, his life dependent on the expensive surgery. "No, Thomas," Amanda said, her voice hoarse, "my husband's surgery is very expensive. I'm going to tell the doctor that he can have regular care until we can raise the money to help him." Thomas looked at her with sympathetic eyes. "That's okay, Aunt Amanda," he said, "I'll tell my father to help with Uncle Lyn's treatment." However, Amanda shook her head, "No, Thomas, I'll work on this myself." Thomas did not give up as he continued to try and get Vera's attention. He glanced at Vera who was sitting quietly in the corner of the room. She seemed indifferent, unaffected by the situation that was happening around them. "I'm going to catch some air," Vera said suddenly, getting up from her chair and leaving Thomas and Amanda in the waiting room. The atmosphere became even

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
