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
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.
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
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
