I'm Not Trash Diana's Anger
The room was silent for a moment. Diana was still trying to process what she had just heard from Ryan. In addition, Jonathan, who was originally flat-faced and full of calmness, actually showed an unexpected reaction."Dad, what did you just say?" Jonathan got up from the sofa, approaching Ryan for an explanation. Ryan was in a wheelchair and headed to his own desk. His face looked calm with his usual firmness. While Jonathan followed behind impatiently, looking agitated and his gaze briefly shifted to Diana who was still frozen."As you heard. I will match Diana with the son of the Edmund family. I have already decided." "But, how can--" Jonathan hadn't agreed to this and he didn't think his father would talk about it now. Jonathan was sure that Diana still needed time, not right now.A loud bang was heard from the direction of the entrance. Julie, who had also heard Ryan's words, protested."What do you mean? Why so sudden?" Julie looked at Ryan in disbelief. Behind her, there wa
I'm Not Trash Jonathan Fought Back
Julie left the room after Diana. Earlier, she had taken the time to stare intently at her father-in-law. "You've gone too far!" Julie exclaimed angrily as she left Ryan's office.Ryan looked away with bated breath. There wasn't even a hint of guilt in the man and there was only anger written all over his face.Bill had never felt the difficulty of breathing in one room like now. He knew that there were always problems in family life, just like his own family. However, this time he felt something too suffocating. Ryan in his eyes was indeed a stern and dominant figure, but what Bill saw right now was nothing more than a villain who took away his own grandson's freedom. Maybe that sounded outrageous, but it was worth what Ryan himself had done. Unable to bear being in a situation like this, Bill chose to leave the room. He briefly looked at Jonathan who was still standing stiffly with a blank stare. "Dad doesn't seem to know about this problem," Bill muttered to himself. For the ump
I'm Not Trash Poor Diana
Julie knocked on her daughter's bedroom door. Luckily the door was unlocked and still showed a slight crack there. As she tried to enter, a dim atmosphere enveloped the room. Julie turned on the light and saw Diana sitting on the sofa by the window. She was half-curled into a sitting position and her gaze was lost in the view outside. Slowly Julie moved closer. She was about to touch Diana's shoulder, but aborted when her daughter made a tear-wiping gesture. Julie didn't know that Diana was crying because she had her back to her, and no sobs could be heard. "Honey," Julie called softly. "I'm so sorry."There was no answer. Diana just let out a long sigh, along with her tears. She had never been this devastated, not once in her life before the argument in Ryan's study. Diana thought she was still worthy enough to be called the granddaughter of the Rainer family. Where she still had hope as an heir and Ryan recognized her abilities, but now her eyes were open. Ryan had never recogni
I'm Not Trash Against Ryan
After the argument, the Rainer family mansion was noticeably quieter. Not because there were no residents, but because of the cold attitude of the people there. It seemed that yesterday's events had left quite a mark on them, especially Diana. The woman was now more quiet than usual. Diana was reluctant to interact with anyone in the mansion, especially Ryan. She didn't completely withdraw from his life, only from those who were involved in yesterday's dispute. Diana still worked, went to the office and other activities normally, but not during meal times. Diana was no longer present at the table with the others. The servants now provided a separate menu to be brought to Diana's room. It was the woman who made this condition when Julie begged her daughter to keep eating.Julie had no problem with that. After all, she wasn't imposing her will either, except when it came to Diana's health. Julie didn't want to be another Ryan in Diana's life. Although of course she was very saddened b
I'm Not Trash Become a Monster
The situation was getting more and more heated. Bill had never predicted that Jonathan would speak like that. As long as he lived in the Rainer family, he had never seen Jonathan oppose Ryan. Julie felt the same way. She seemed to see someone else, not Jonathan her husband. "What did you say?" The look on Ryan's face was more terrifying than ever. His voice was low, yet deep. The same angry gaze as the one where he found out that his son was having an affair with a lower-class woman. A gaze that seemed to want to swallow anyone who dared to speak out against him again. "Father, stop all--" Without a signal, Ryan suddenly got up from the wheelchair. The old man could indeed stand up occasionally, though not for long. Ryan's hand reached into his right waistband and pulled out a pistol and fired a shot right at Jonathan. The sound of the shot was deafening to everyone there. Bill and Julie felt their hearts stop beating for some time. A look of horror appeared in their eyes. They tu
I'm Not Trash Tragedy
For a moment, Ryan looked surprised that his bullet had misfired. However, it was only for a moment that his expression was visible. Ryan regained control of his face in a matter of seconds.Everyone panicked, except Ryan who just stared at his grandchildren expressionlessly. Diana cried as she continued to hug Bill, one hand holding back the blood coming out of the gunshot wound that pierced through her half-brother's left back. The girl's hand shook violently with her face getting splashed with fresh blood. This was the worst nightmare of his entire life. Bill was still conscious with a blank look and coughed a few times, until he finally closed his eyes again. "Bill," Diana called hoarsely, trembling and filled with terror, fear and guilt. Several people flocked in with a hasty dash as soon as the gunshots rang out. They were the bodyguards under Jonathan's command. "Prepare the car!" Jonathan's shout filled the dining room. "Prepare the car now!" he repeated until one of his s
I'm Not Trash Julie's Regret
Jonathan and Diana left the hospital in the same car. They sat in the back seat and created a long silence for almost half the journey. Diana refused to take her eyes off the road and her thoughts were always on the recent tragedy. Her chest still felt tight, but she didn't want to cry in the car, not when it was just Jonathan and the driver. "Are you okay?" Jonathan's voice broke the silence. For a moment Diana gave a small gasp as her reverie was interrupted. She glanced without interest at the one who had just spoken, her own father."I regret a lot of things. About your mother, Bill, and you," the man said as he looked down at his own hand that was still stiff and numb. The warm sensation of Bill's blood as he tried to carry the boy was still tangible. "I'm glad it wasn't you who got hurt, but I'm very angry with your grandfather for making Bill die." Diana listened. Even though she tried not to care, Jonathan's words comforted her a little. "I always do what your grandfathe
I'm Not Trash Ryan's Threat
Julie had no idea who she was talking to. Ryan looked very bad in her eyes. How could someone who had put a bullet into his own grandson show no compassion at all? The man was pointing the finger at Julie as the cause of all this trouble, the reason Bill was dying the way he was."Diana is just like you. Insubordinate and petty," Ryan said, pointing at Julie. A slur that felt so sharp and piercing to Julie. "For a long time, you never really listened to what I said and followed my orders." Ryan added."Because you are selfish. What you do is only for your own self-interest to keep the Rainer family victorious! You never paid attention to how your actions affected those closest to you. You never cared, even though you always acted on behalf of the family. When in fact you never considered us family. To you, we're not even people, we're just robots. Tools that you use to achieve all your goals!" said Julie loudly. Julie had never spoken so boldly in criticizing her father-in-law. "Be

Finally
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
Marriage proposal for Joana
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.
A Turning Point
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
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
Arrested
"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.
