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

While William was busy talking to Vera, Thomas chose to have a private conversation with Sarah elsewhere. The dim lighting and the sound of rustling leaves, as well as the occasional howl of a dog, made the atmosphere even more intimate."I thought when you asked me to come here, Vera had nothing to do with William," Thomas said, his voice heavy and filled with disappointment. He didn't expect to see William with Vera again, especially at a time like this.Sarah snorted in annoyance, her face looking tense and uncomfortable. "I don't know how he got here either." she said, her voice filled with confusion. "No one told her about Vera's father's condition."Thomas pondered, trying to find an answer to the question Sarah couldn't answer. "Maybe Vera told him herself." he suggested, his voice still calm and steady.However, Sarah wasn't convinced by that. She looked at Thomas with a doubtful gaze. "Vera previously admitted that she wouldn't tell William because she was afraid Aunt Amanda

William's expression changed instantly. Both his brows furrowed and his eyes showed clear signs of confusion.He could not use a personal name to donate to Vera and invest in Jason Lyn's small company. Was it time for William to reveal his identity?Isn't there anything he can do for Vera?When William was considering this, Evan had a rather good suggestion for the man."Sir, how about you use the company name to invest and help Vera at the same time?"William, who was splitting his concentration between driving and listening to Evan, tried to focus when he heard his personal assistant's suggestion."If you use the company name, this will be your first investment in a small company and maybe you will get help to manage it again so that it can grow rapidly." Evan added.William thought this was a pretty brilliant idea."Okay." He agreed to Evan's suggestion. "Then, you take care of everything. Use the company name to invest in Jason Lyn's business and also contribute funds for his oper

Vera and her mother are in a tense situation, throwing sharp words at each other. The atmosphere in the house becomes stifling, emotional distress filling the room. Vera's emotions are running high, upset that her mother has interrupted her conversation with William. She felt her privacy had been trampled upon. "Mom, you shouldn't be like that!" said Vera, glaring angrily at her mother. Amanda, her mother, shot back a glare. "Vera, I allowed you to be close to William all this time because I thought you were just a good girl who felt sorry for him. But, if you fall in love with him, I won't allow it!" Amanda said firmly, without a hint of doubt in her eyes. Vera was silent, her eyes staring wide at her mother. She felt that her mother didn't understand her feelings and was only acting on what she thought was right. "You're even interrupting her when she talks!" she retorted, her frustration mounting. Amanda was annoyed too. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, trying to relieve th

Amanda and Vera get a ride in William's car. They headed to the hospital.After a long drive, they arrived at the hospital. As soon as William parked the car in the parking lot, Amanda immediately opened the door and got out. With quick and steady steps, she approached Vera who was still sitting in the car."Go see your father, see how he's doing," she said firmly, as if she couldn't be denied.Vera only glanced at William for a moment before lowering her gaze, showing the same hesitation and worry.Amanda, who looked rather annoyed with Vera's attitude, rotated her eyes. "Stop being intimate with him!" she admonished, pointing at William.Vera nodded, despite the sour look on her face. "Fine! But, you have to promise not to fight with him!"Amanda tugged at the corner of her lips in a sardonic smile, "Hurry up, Vera! I won't fight with that your William!"Vera nodded slowly and left.After Vera left, William approached Amanda. He stood tall in front of her, his posture strong and sur

When William was confused, Sean reminded him about an important meeting that would discuss their business prospects. "We're going to talk about a big project.""Maybe, I haven't checked my agenda again," William said, admitting that maybe he was wrong. "Alright, I'll prepare myself."After the conversation with Sean, William continued his journey back to the dormitory. Upon arrival, he rested well, preparing himself mentally and physically for the important meeting the next day.The next morning, William arrived at the large villa where the meeting was being held. The grand and luxurious property stood tall, reflecting the importance of the meeting that was about to take place.

"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.

"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
