Bill, who had just returned from the office, put his briefcase down and lay down on the bed. After all this time with Zigga Company, this was the first time Bill felt his body and mind were exhausted. He needed a break. Not only his body, but his mind also needed to be rested.The ringing of Bill's cell phone stopped him from closing his eyes. He immediately grabbed the object and checked it. Apparently it was Ryan who was currently contacting Bill.A sigh came from Bill's mouth. Being very tired like this, how could the grandfather contact him. Bill would have been too lazy to answer the phone call if he didn't remember that he still needed help from the Rainer family. Bill finally swiped the receipt on his phone screen."Hello, Grandpa. How are you?" Bill greeted pleasantly."If you really want to know how I'm doing, then you should have contacted me earlier since yesterday," Ryan said on the other side.Bill couldn't help but let out a somewhat stifled sigh. It was his fault for n
The case involving Zigga Company and Mirror Company continues to roll on and enter a new phase. If Zigga Company was previously sued, now the position has changed to the opposite. Mirror Company's big name has been completely destroyed since it was revealed that it was actually them who plagiarized the game idea. Blasphemy from the public continues to arrive. Mirror Company was even urged to close their company and not create any more games, even though their previous games were highly anticipated.The verdicts for the people involved in the case have been handed down. The court also decided that Mirror Company must pay a sum of money to Zigga Company as compensation. Of course, the amount is not small. Mirror Company even collapsed after giving the compensation. It seems that the flow of funds that had been supporting Mirror Company has now been cut off. The game-making company that was originally very successful has now fallen so sadly just because their ambition is to bring down ri
Bill parked his car in front of a tavern. He had been driving for over three hours and needed a break. Bill bought a can of cold drink and some snacks. He also asked the shop owner for the address he was heading to."You'll be there in a bit, sir. Just keep following this road. It's about two kilometers from here." The shop owner explained to Bill."Alright, thank you," Bill said.After filling his stomach with snacks and downing his cold drink, Bill finally resumed his journey. This time, he drove the car at a moderate speed. The scenery on the left and right of the road filled with sunflowers made Bill intrigued to enjoy it a little. It seemed that the village Bill was currently visiting was dominated by farmers. There were lots of flower gardens and vegetable gardens along the road.After a while, Bill reached his destination. He pulled up in front of a simple house with a white-painted fence."Hi, son. Is that really Ginna's parents' house?" Bill asked a passing boy."That's right
Ginna and Bill sat on a bench in the backyard of Ginna's parents' house. They had just eaten lunch together after Ginna's mother had cooked many special dishes. The middle-aged woman was very happy because it was the first time Ginna's friends from the city had come to their house in the village. Ginna's mother was so happy that she even cut up a very large turkey. Part of the turkey meat was roasted with special spices, while the other part was cooked in a soup with spices.Ginna's parents hosted Bill and treated him very warmly. In Bill's entire life, this was the first time he had enjoyed lunch with such affection as if he was in the midst of his own family. That's what it's like to have parents, Bill thought as he enjoyed lunch."Your parents' house is very cozy. No wonder you feel at home here and don't think about going back to the office," Bill said as he looked around.The backyard of Ginna's parents' house was quite large. Part of it was fenced in and used to raise poultry. A
Although annoyed, Ginna finally stopped forcing Bill to return to town so quickly. Ginna's mother had even cleaned the guest room for Bill to stay in. If this was the case, of course Ginna could only surrender. Both of her parents seemed to really like Bill. Evidently, during dinner, Ginna's mother again made a special dish. Seasoned grilled fish with honey sauce.The fish that was cooked was not just any fish, but the fish that Ginna's father kept in the pond next to the house. Ginna's father was very fond of his fish and rarely caught them for his own consumption. If he were to catch it for someone, then that person could be considered special to Ginna's father."The fish is very good, ma'am. I've never had grilled fish this good," Bill praised while enjoying the grilled fish cooked by Ginna's mother."Ginna's mom is a very good cook. She has magical hands that make every ingredient she holds turn into delicious dishes," Ginna's father said.Ginna's mother who received the complimen
"When are you going back to town?" Ginna's question startled Bill. After finishing dinner and chatting with Ginna's parents, Bill had said goodbye to get some fresh air. He sat on the edge of Ginna's father's fish pond and gazed up at the star-filled sky. The quiet country night felt very cozy to him."Surprised me," Bill muttered a little grumpily.Ginna sighed and sat down next to Bill. Of course, Bill was a little surprised because Ginna seemed to avoid him before."How long are you going to bother my parents here?" Ginna repeated because Bill didn't answer her question."Annoying?" Bill turned his head while making an objectionable face. "Who's bothering your parents? They're not bothered at all, anyway."Ginna gave him an annoyed glance while exhaling harshly again. Actually, if she wanted to be honest from the heart, Ginna actually felt that her parents were very happy with Bill's arrival. It had been a long time since their home had felt as lively as it had earlier."Did the D
The next day, Ginna finally decided to return to the city with Bill. This apparently made Ginna's parents happy because they felt Ginna had managed to forgive the situation. After all, despite a mild heart attack, Ginna's father was now doing well. There was no longer any reason for Ginna to continue to worry, let alone get angry with Bill."So we're good now, right?" asked Bill teasingly as they drove into town."In your dreams," Ginna replied nonchalantly.Bill chuckled, "if we haven't made up now, then how can I make up with you?""Only if this afternoon you treat me to some delicious sticks at Mrs. Boss's favorite restaurant," Ginna said again."Lunch, not dinner?" repeated Bill."Yes, lunch." Ginna folded her arms across her chest and smiled crookedly at Bill. When else could she prank Bill like this."But Joana's favorite restaurant usually requires a reservation," Bill said hesitantly."That's your business." Ginna muttered indifferently.Bill glanced back at Ginna and smiled w
Bill and Ginna actually had lunch at Joana's favorite restaurant. Bill even ordered wagyu steaks for the two of them. Of course Ginna was speechless. She knew full well that Bill was doing all this to make her feel helpless."Are you sure you won't go bankrupt after this?" Ginna asked before enjoying the delicious steak that was placed in front of her."If I run out of money, I can just borrow yours," Bill replied nonchalantly. The man cut the steak first and put it in his mouth. Bill seemed to chew deliciously while nodding his head, indicating that the food that entered his mouth was really delicious.The corners of Ginna's lips twitched slightly at the sight of Bill. Ginna really didn't expect that the man would have such an annoying side too.Ginna also finally ate the special steak in front of her. The expression on the girl's face immediately changed when a piece of steak entered her mouth. As if Ginna wanted to say through the look in her eyes, this food is really delicious.Gi
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. He faced it all with the perspective that these problems were challenges that would one day make his position stronger and more recognized. And he did get that. Not only that, Jonathan has made a huge contribution to RN Group. The company has flourished and managed to rise above the threat of yesterday's tro
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
