Diana still couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her guess was right, there must be something between Bill and Ryan. Diana thought it was Ryan's abuse of Bill, so she felt guilty about it."Bill, are you sure everything will be okay? Do you know what you're dealing with right now?" Diana asked worriedly. She knew who Bill was dealing with. Ryan could have deliberately done something to cause Bill trouble. Bill smiled asymmetrically, but a moment later he fell silent while looking straight ahead. "Everything will work out." It wasn't an answer, but rather a suggestion to Bill himself. It would be a lie if Bill said that he had never once felt fear. Failure was always another possibility of every action he took. In fact, the percentage could be even greater. But he had no choice but to face it, right?Bill got up from his seat, then turned to Diana briefly. It felt like there was nothing further for them to talk about."Alright. It's late now. You have to work tomorrow too, don'
Bill looked at himself in the mirror. A dark formal suit made his charisma shine through. The look in his eyes was stern, not showing that he was currently feeling very nervous. Today was RN Group's shareholder meeting, and Bill was there as the new Executive Director for the first time.Bill was nervous, of course. He was going to be in the midst of high-ranking people who had dedicated their lives to RN Group. Bill felt like he was shrinking, stunted and wanted to just disappear. His mind couldn't escape the possibility that he could ruin everything. However, all of this was something Bill had to face if he wanted to get back together with Joana.For a moment Bill closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He did it several times until he felt a slow calm. This was not the time to get caught up in doubts and nerves. Bill had a duty and a goal to prove to his grandfather that he could. Then, Bill also hoped that Ryan would change his interpretation of freedom for his family members and
The whole room was suddenly quiet. Everyone stared at Bill like an alien who had just landed in front of them unceremoniously. Until one by one they began to whisper, while the representatives of the three families Bill was referring to looked furious. "What did you say?" The representative of the Salomon family looked at Bill with sharp eyes. Without anyone noticing, the man gripped the side of the table so tightly that the veins around his arms stood out. Bill didn't answer, just as he was about to turn back to his desk, the representative of the Edmund family exclaimed, "What report are you referring to, Bill?" The man ignored the tone and the call he used. Although he knew that Bill's position in this company was quite influential. To hell with that, he felt Bill was more suited to be part of the ordinary employees. "Is what I said still unclear?" Bill looked at the figure casually.Halya who was still standing at her position, not too far away from Bill seemed impressed. She s
The paper was engulfed in flames until there was nothing left. Bill just stared in disbelief at what Diana had done. Meanwhile, the woman did not show any expression."Are you crazy?" Bill exclaimed, facing Diana. "Do you know what you've done? That's our agreement. If this is how you get angry, you should--""If the contract doesn't exist, then the contract is also void." Diana said it in a matter-of-factly telling tone. It was the woman's attitude that currently made Bill frown, even more confused and out of his mind. Diana's way of speaking did not show anger at all. "Alright. That means I am now free from the influence of you and Mrs. Julie. I am no longer bound by that agreement and you have nothing to lose. You know that, but why?" Bill frowned incomprehensibly.Diana shrugged. She then looked back at the dwindling flames with a faint smile. She had already realized the meaning of anxiety and worry in him, even when Bill was in trouble. "I've learned a lot lately, Bill." Dian
The fact that the Salomons had indeed poisoned Ryan, Jeremy wasn't the only one who didn't expect it. Ryan never imagined it either. Now there is nothing that can be done. Ryan only regretted his negligence.Ryan knew full well about the devious actions of the Marson family, Edmund and Salomon. They had crossed the line of what they should not have done to the Rainer Family. And the act of poisoning Ryan was the culmination of it all. If only Ryan hadn't let them in the first place and cut the cord sooner, things wouldn't have turned out like this. The behavior of the three big families was now completely out of line with the good intentions of their predecessors. Only the Rainer family still held on to the trust and honesty and family values of their ancestors. Ryan had realized this long ago, but he chose to persist for the same reasons. Perhaps if Ryan had taken more decisive action at the beginning, the situation would not have gone so far. The three extended families' extortion
After the meeting at the Salomon family residence that day, Ryan went to his personal physician for a check-up. He might have been framed and lied to by the man about the poison in his body. Although it was likely that the Salomons would not waste time on that. "Most of your internal organs are detected as getting exposure to poison, sir. However, this poison is very difficult to recognize, so it's hard to prove if you were poisoned," said Ryan's personal physician. He stared with a regretful look. "Also, I can't be sure what medicine can be used as an antidote and how long the poison will work."It was bad news that Ryan could not help but accept. The man looked at his doctor with a complicated gaze. It would be a lie if there wasn't a sense of worry and fear of the worst. "So, what should I do for now, Doctor?" he asked."I'll give you some medicine that can lower the intensity of the pain from the poison's effects." The doctor prescribed some medicine for Ryan. "Unfortunately this
While Bill was with Jonathan and Diana for lunch, Halya reported what had happened at the company to Jeremy. On the other hand, Jeremy was currently by the lake with his master. Ryan was bored in his room and asked Jeremy to take him to the lakeside."Alright, good job." Jeremy gave a short compliment to Halya on the other side of the phone, while his gaze was still on Ryan. "For now you just need to be by Mr. Bill's side when he needs you. Report whatever happens."After getting an answer from the woman, she then hung up the call. Jeremy let out a long breath. "Sir, it seems like Young Master's performance in the company has satisfied many, especially the employees."Jeremy couldn't even hide his happy smile. He was quite impressed with Bill's courage and honesty. Despite being under crazy pressure from Ryan, Bill was able to make a decision in a relatively short time, but it was right on target.Ryan didn't answer and his gaze was still on the ripples of the lake that moved gently
Unbeknownst to the three great families who were plotting something evil, it turned out that Jonathan was one step ahead of them all. Jonathan had placed several spies in all three families. And now, one of those spies was giving his report through a phone call."So?" Jonathan's voice answered someone on a speaker-activated cell phone. The man's face looked stiff, as if he was holding back his frustration. Although in general, Jonathan was not very good at expressing his mood. "They had that conversation in a special room of the Manson family's bar. The decision has been made, sir. They will take extreme measures to get rid of Young Master Bill and you." That was the report from the spy.Besides Jonathan, Diana and Bill who were currently near Jonathan were also listening to the report. They were all having lunch together, but it was not just an ordinary lunch, but a special conversation regarding the steps they would take to lock up the three big families. Currently, Jonathan, Bil
