Days passed after the birthday celebration, and Grandma remained hospitalized, unable to come to terms with the fact that her beloved grandchild had died in her own home. The shock had taken a toll on her already weakened heart, leading to her immediate hospitalization. This left Tony with no choice but to focus his attention on his ailing mother, leaving him with little time to grieve for his son's illness.Cecilia, on the other hand, faced her own troubles as news of her scandal broke out to the public. She was placed under house arrest, forbidden from visiting her sick mother-in-law in the hospital. Tony's attitude towards her had drastically changed, and he no longer cared about her as he once did. He would leave the house and return late at night, openly displaying his disgust towards her. He no longer bothered to hide the fact that he had a mistress, often calling her affectionate names in front of Cecilia, intensifying her regret for seeking Will's help and being the one whose a
"Grandpa, I thought I was here for a holiday. How can you expect me to go and meet with some director from a crumbling company?" a distant voice argued. "I won't go to a company that won't bring any benefit to us. I only pursue the best opportunities, not some company on the brink of bankruptcy," she added before abruptly ending the call. How could her grandfather even suggest such a thing to her? She was the CEO of a successful business and now she was being asked to deal with this failing company. She had witnessed firsthand how the Thompson family's company had declined after their dirty dealings were exposed to the public. She wanted nothing to do with them, whether her grandfather had already scheduled an appointment with their director or not. She would rather engage in business deals with the Carters, who had consistently demonstrated competence in their work, unlike these wolves in sheep's clothing. Bella entered the room and saw an agitated Anna pacing back and forth. What
Time passed, and the moment arrived for Anna to attend the appointment. As she prepared herself, she had no idea what to expect since she had been against this meeting from the beginning. However, the desire to uncover the truth she had yearned for years pushed her to proceed with it. As she stepped out, she noticed Bella setting the table for breakfast. Bella continued setting the table without acknowledging Anna's presence. It was clear that she was pretending not to notice her. Anna sat down and began eating, and surprisingly, Bella joined her without uttering a word. Anna observed her unusually silent friend, who was usually talkative even during meals. Today, however, she remained quiet, and it seemed she was angry at Anna. Anna pretended not to notice Bella's unusual behavior and continued eating. But after a few minutes, she couldn't let it go on without addressing the issue. "Okay, tell me what's bothering you," Anna said, placing her spoon down and looking at Bella. To her
Nagid was just as confused as Anna about why she was there. They both stared at each other, unable to believe their eyes. Suddenly, Anna remembered seeing a familiar figure earlier, realizing it wasn't a figment of her imagination. He was real, and he was here. But why was he on the same floor? Anna couldn't comprehend it. "Welcome, boss. The CEO of Purity Company in Europe is here for the appointment," the secretary explained, bringing them back from their intense gaze. Anna was shocked to realize that she was supposed to have a meeting with him. How was she going to manage a meeting without getting angry? However, she couldn't just leave. She had to go through with it to uncover what she wanted to know from her grandfather. "Take a deep breath, Anna. It's just an appointment, nothing more, nothing less. Get this done and leave," she reassured herself silently. Nagid also looked surprised to see Anna as the CEO. How did this happen? He decided to treat this as a meeting between
"Why should I believe you? I'm still working here as a director, and I don't have a company of my own. How can I trust what you're saying?" Nagid's question surprised anyone present, but he was not easily swayed by sweet words from someone he barely knew, someone trying to make him think she trusted him. He had been through a lot in the past and couldn't believe such a turn of events. Anna looked at him, puzzled. Anyone else would have agreed without hesitation, but Nagid's reaction was surprising. He was so smart that it caught her off guard. Others would have jumped at the opportunity, but he couldn't be swayed by mere words. "I do admire your intelligence and how alert you are, Mr. Nagid. Your words show your competence. I wouldn't be surprised to see you become the most successful man ever. But I want you to consider what I've said. Take some time to think about it. I hope the answer will be positive," Anna replied, hoping to convince him. Her answer stunned him. Was this the sa
Anna returned home in a fist when Bella noticed her and wondered what had happened to her at the meeting to provoke such a reaction. Without uttering a word to Bella, Anna proceeded straight to her room and locked the door. Just as she locked it, her grandfather called her. "Please don't tell me you had someone following me," she asked her grandfather. "No, I just had a feeling that your meeting would be over by now," her grandpa replied. Anna felt like crying and confiding in her grandfather about everything that had happened at Nagid's office. However, as someone who had spent years in the military, she felt the need to maintain a façade of strength and keep her emotions in check. How could she explain her tears? Should she reveal that Nagid was married, or that Emma was Nagid's wife? It was all too complicated. Deciding to put it all behind her, Anna chose to forget about her emotions and why she had reacted so strongly to the encounter with Emma and Nagid. "Grandpa, I'm done wi
A girl with blonde hair stepped out of the plane, captivating the attention of everyone who laid eyes on her. There was something about her that didn't seem like she belonged in New York. Her mannerisms and actions gave away her foreigner status, instantly drawing the attention of the people at the airport. She anxiously looked around, waiting for her ride. Soon enough, her car arrived, and she got in. "Where would you like to go, miss?" the driver asked, unable to tear his gaze away from the stunning blonde. Her beauty made him wish she was his. The blonde lady noticed his stare, accustomed to people ogling her. She looked at the driver with a sense of pride. "Take me to the Screen Hotel," she confidently replied. "Sure, beau... I mean, ma'am... Sorry, miss," the driver stammered, causing her to giggle. This reaction was all too familiar to her, even back home. As the driver began to navigate through the streets, he couldn't help but steal glances at her through the car window. Me
Tony hurriedly rushed to the hospital when he heard what had happened. The person that the mysterious individual had mentioned was involved in an accident. It hadn't even been a day, and he had nearly lost the person who was going to make his life easier. What would he say if something had happened to her? He was grateful that someone had come to her aid and helped her receive medical treatment. He stopped a passing nurse and asked for directions to her room. Once he found out where she was, he hurriedly made his way there, but he was shocked by what he saw when he arrived. A young lady? The woman who was going to assist him was this stunning blonde lady. She looked so young and innocent. How was this delicate young lady going to help him? Would she seduce others or something? She looked up and noticed his presence. She gazed at him, taking in the details of the not-so-old but handsome man. She reviewed the information given to her and realized that this was Tony, the person she wa
