The funeral went smoothly. Compared to most funerals where there is a lot of crying, the Rainer family's home was quieter and quieter. This did not mean that there was no sadness and loss, but rather that their gazes showed a stifling emptiness.

Diana cried all night after hearing Jeremy's confession. Ryan wasn't that bad and he loved his family very much, it's just that the way Ryan did it wasn't justifiable. Diana felt lost and regretful, though she wasn't sure what she regretted. If only her grandfather could have spoken frankly to her or the others, maybe Diana wouldn't have had time to hate Ryan.

However, all of this was Ryan's choice for the good of the Rainer family. Diana, as well as the others, could only accept this fact.

"I didn't expect you to go this far." Julie let out a long breath. She had heard a lot about what had happened. Between shock and deep sorrow.

Heading to the cemetery, Julie and Diana walked hand in hand dressed in all black. Bill and Jonathan were in fro

    Before Joana could say a single word, Bill rushed over and hugged her tightly. Joana could only freeze with a suddenly blank mind. Bill hugged Joana for a long time as if he was unaware of what was happening around him. The people in the hall seemed quite surprised by the romantic situation. "Oh my God, why are they that cute?" Ronie, who was originally about to approach Bill, suddenly retreated again and now tears of emotion came out at the end of her eyes. It wasn't just Ronie, Lee and Ginna looked emotional seeing the couple. While the other employees were still dumbfounded by Bill's sudden arrival and the romantic moment without warning."Are you okay?" asked Joana while tightening the hug because Bill gave no sign of letting go. The question wasn't just an idle one, of course. Joana had been following the news about Rainer's family, the RN Group and everything. Joana wondered what if she was still in contact with Bill at that time and might be a hindrance or trouble to Bill.

    Everyone went back to their busy lives. Bill spends most of his days on the company. He no longer controlled it, but it was the kind of responsibility Bill had taken on when Ryan was alive. Under Jonathan's leadership, RN Group survived the threat of trouble that had been brewing for some time. About the betrayal of three big families, as well as the abandonment of a very influential person, Ryan Rainer. It's possible that these issues triggered a rift in the connections between shareholders. There was also the small matter of investors' lack of confidence in Jonathan because Ryan himself had never directly mentioned the change of power.No problem, Jonathan thought at the time.

    "Sorry, Mr. Davis. For now, you still cannot join our company. Maybe next time." For the umpteenth time Bill Davis heard the rejection sentence after a job interview. Though initially he felt quite optimistic, but in the end he was still rejected too.Bill left the company building where he had applied for the job feeling uneasy. This was the thirteenth time he had failed in different places. Surely Miranda, his wife, would not be happy to hear this."What should I tell Miranda?" Bill muttered to himself. Still ringing in his ears were the words his wife had spoken this morning."This is your last chance, Bill. If you get rejected this time too. I really don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to be your cash cow for the rest of my life."Miranda had said that before in a low, calm tone, but it sounded so threatening. It felt like Miranda was really going to dump him if he still failed to get a job this time. Ah, just imagining it Bill couldn't bear it. It felt really horrible if

    Bill stared at Anne. He really didn't expect that the mother-in-law he had been treating so well was now willing to throw him out, like throwing feces. Bill hoped that this was all a joke, but the expressions on Miranda and Anne's faces didn't say so. Miranda even looked the other way when Bill looked at her, looking reluctant and disgusted just to return Bill's gaze.Bill's feelings were crushed. Clearly the whole thing wasn't as much of a joke as he'd hoped. Miranda really wanted to dump him. Now Bill really felt like trash, or rather trash that was thrown away after all this time being used in such a way. He was stupid for always thinking that Miranda was the home he would always come home to."Do you really want me to leave?" Bill then asked Miranda once more to make sure."I think your hearing is still working fine, Bill. You know very well, I don't like to keep repeating the same words." Miranda replied coldly.Bill smiled wryly as he looked at Miranda. He was disappointed and h

    Three days had passed since Bill was kicked out by Miranda. His first day on the streets, he had to sleep on a park bench because he had no place to stay. On the next day, he joined the queue at the homeless building to get a room, so he also needed to sleep while enduring the cold air again. As for his stomach, Bill had to endure hunger all day, until it was time for the free bread distribution near the bakery he was passing by at the time. "How long do I have to live like this?" Bill grumbled to himself as he ate the peanut butter-filled bread he'd gotten after fighting with the homeless people.Bill felt annoyed with his current situation. Whereas before, he had been determined to prove to everyone if he was not a sampau, but if the situation continued like this, how should he change his fate? In fact, just to fill his stomach he had to wait for bread that was no longer sold."If it continues like this, being successful is just nonsense." Bill grumbled again. He chewed roughly, bu

  • I'm Not Trash   An Old Friend

    Bill looked stunned for a moment, before he finally came to his senses and recognized the woman who had just called him excitedly and was now in front of him."Joana?" Bill murmured doubtfully."I thought you didn't recognize me anymore." The woman said cheerfully as she hugged Bill briefly.Bill was stunned without knowing how to respond. This meeting was too sudden and unexpected for him.Joana was Bill's childhood friend. They were both residents of an orphanage on the outskirts of Arden. However, when they were in junior high school, Joana had to leave the orphanage because she was adopted by a couple from out of town. Joana went with her foster parents, which meant she could no longer be friends with Bill. The two of them really had no communication after that."How are you, Bill? Gosh, I really didn't expect to see you here." Joana chattered again while continuing to show a cheerful smile."Well. I didn't expect to see you again either. I haven't heard from you since you left th

    Bill downed a glass of water, trying to quell the anger that was now flaring up inside him. He realized that he shouldn't get carried away because he saw Miranda with another man after kicking her out. Not only because Joana was present, but also because they were in a public place. Bill didn't want to make a scene that would get Joana into trouble."Are you okay, Bill?" Joana asked when she saw the change in Bill's face."Ah, yes. I'm fine," Bill said as he forced himself to smile at Joana.Joana smiled back and continued eating. She didn't ask any more questions, but in her heart she knew that something was wrong with Bill.Bill also tried not to be bothered, but his table and Miranda's table were close enough that he could hear what his wife was talking about with her mistress."So have you kicked out your useless husband, darling?" asked Miranda's affair man in a tone that sounded so sickening to Bill's ears."Yes, I've kicked him out. Now we don't need to have a secret relationsh

    Bill was pensive while staring straight ahead with an expression on his face that was hard to describe. After the ruckus he had created at the restaurant earlier, Joana now took him to a quieter place. The two of them were currently sitting on a park bench by the artificial lake in the city of Arden. And since then, Bill had remained silent without saying a word."I'm sorry that you had to witness something you didn't deserve to see." Bill said finally breaking the silence.Joana turned her head and glanced at her friend. It was clear that Bill was devastated."That's not a situation for which you should apologize to me, Bill. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I think, I said a lot of nonsense in front of that woman." Joana said. "No, you saved my pride. I'm very grateful for that." Bill said as he turned to Joana and smiled slightly. A smile that made Joana's heart ache even more."I didn't do anything." Joana said."If it weren't for you, I would have really looked like a lose

    The Passing of Ryan

    Bill felt that he was only dreaming. He had just arrived with the antidote he had managed to get from the Salomon family. He drove as fast as he could, running red lights, speeding down the highway as fast as he could. The only thing Bill feared was his late arrival, and that was exactly what happened. Bill was late.Bill's body refused to show how he was feeling at the moment. Even Bill didn't know what to do, what reaction he should give to this astonishing news. The doctor was still busy checking Ryan's condition, as if they were trying to confirm the condition and try to restore the old man's consciousness. Nevertheless, the screen showing Ryan's vital organ activity had stopped, giving rise to a deafening buzzing sound.Bill and the others were outside the room, watching from the window with a mixed feeling. Minutes passed and nothing had changed in Ryan's condition. The doctor stopped his efforts. That's when the family members entered. Bill went first, while Diana followed and

    Salomon's Poison Antidote

    The indebtedness that entangled the Rainer family business in the past was the beginning of the three extended families' relationship with the Rainer family, especially the Salomons. During that difficult time, the Rainer family asked the Salomons for help to protect their business from interference from others."How ignorant!" cursed the head of the Salomon family, who was currently behind bars. The man and his two colleagues looked frustrated. Various parties including their lawyers have been contacted, but no one knows what will happen to them. "The Rainer family should have had the courage to do this to us!" Marson growled with pent-up emotion. "It's all because of that damn kid!" Family patriarch Edmund cursed Bill repeatedly. "We should have just shot him in the head and even if we ended up in jail, at least one of them would have died! We're in jail anyway."The head of the Salomon family exhaled harshly. Although in reality it was the Salomons who had taken advantage of thei

    "What the hell?" shouted the head of the Edmund family. He looked hysterical as armed troops came from the opposing side. They all wore protective vests and police insignia that were familiar to his eyes."Are we being set up?" The head of the Marson family stared in disbelief as his hands were handcuffed. "Asshole! Let go! Hey, what are you guys doing?" Meanwhile, Family Head Salomon was still trying to escape. The look in his eyes was full of wrath. He was trying to escape the clutches of the special forces. "No! Let go!" He even pointed the gun that was originally embedded in his coat. However, it was clear that the special forces could easily incapacitate him. The heads of households of three families had been secured. However, this chaotic situation was still hard for them to believe. The troops that arrived were so numerous, they were no match for the number of the three families' men. The joint police team consisted of dozens of snipers and skilled fighters who raided the pl

    Siege at The Salomon Family Headquarters

    Bill felt a pain in his chest as a kick went off. His head was still wrapped in the black bag, making it difficult for him to breathe. Another blow hit him in the face. There was definitely a bruise on Bill's face. Jonathan felt the same way. His body was still lying on the cement floor with dust now dirtying his black suit. He was stepped on, kicked repeatedly and mercilessly. Until he felt a shod foot slam into the side of his face, knocking him back to the floor. Bill tried to stay conscious because Diana was among them. He had no idea that Diana would be included in this mission. "Bastard!" Bill cursed, but no one heard him. He was worried that his sister was an easy target for these rotten criminals. "Diana!" shouted Bill who, despite trying to make his voice as loud as possible, could only make incoherent mumbles, like a delirious sleeper. Diana was half-awake. She received a hard slap as she was sat on a wooden chair with her hands tied. As soon as the black bag covering h

    The Awaited Day

    In the end, Bill, Jonathan and Diana had come up with a plan that would be used to counter the evil plans of the three big families. After that, Bill went back to work as usual as if nothing had happened. So did Jonathan and Diana. They moved in their respective places without showing any attention at all to the three big families, there was only Bill who occasionally met with his enemy in the meeting room or simply crossed paths with one of them.Occasionally Bill would also engage in conversation with them, and as of now Bill was dealing with two people, one from the Salomon family and the other the Marson family. "Look, it looks like you're getting comfortable in this place." The Marson family member quipped with a dismissive smile. "Did your actions yesterday already make you feel like a hero?" This time it was the Salomon family members who spoke.The auditing people were still conducting checks, but it was clear that the three big families were currently becoming a byword as t

    There's only One Week

    Jonathan frowned, still not understanding Ryan's sudden behavior. He knew the meaning of the object now in his hand. "Dad, what's going on? Why did you give me our family seal?" Jonathan asked with a frown. "Because now you are the owner." Ryan said. "What does that mean?" Jonathan still didn't understand. If power had been transferred, it must not have been for something trivial. Ryan had never talked about this before either. What was going through Ryan's mind was completely out of Jonathan's reach. "My condition does not allow me to continue to be in the company and take care of this family." Ryan held back the pain that throbbed in his chest. "All the problems in the company I can't handle anymore, and neither can this family." "I know you're sick, but haven't you been able to handle it all this time? There's Jeremy who always helps you, right?" Jonathan still demanded further explanation. "Is my old age not enough of an excuse for you?" he asked with a flat look in his eyes.
