In the morning, Erica immediately told her mother that the president of Bluebell Holdings had accepted her invitation to come to their family party. They were coming and it made Erica and her mother very happy. Upon hearing the news, Maria immediately hugged Erica very tightly. She screamed with happiness and laughter that could not escape her face.She felt so happy and proud of Erica for doing something so amazing. They had never even met and Erica could easily persuade the president of Bluebell Holdings to come to the party. Even though the President of Bluebell was a busy CEO and an important person. Who would not just randomly come to a party of people he didn't know? That proved that Erica was a special person in the eyes of the president of Bluebell Holdings."You did your best, Erica. And I'm very proud of you," Maria said as she held Erica's shoulders. She smiled broadly, looking at her only child with a proud gaze."Thank you, Moms." Erica smiled.She received another hug fr
After Nate also left the living room, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. Actually, he wanted to meet with Erica first, but he didn't want to disturb Erica and let her work properly.Nate set all the ingredients on the table before he cooked with the other servants. Even though he was the son-in-law here, he was always told to do chores and he didn't feel embarrassed or protest at all.The other servants were also still nice to him even though everyone looked down on him. And that made Nate comfortable doing all the work.While Nate was busy cooking in the kitchen, Maria suddenly came and approached him."Do you need anything, Mom?" Nate asked politely. He immediately put down his knife and wiped his dirty hands on his apron."Nothing. Are you cooking?" she asked."Yes. I'm preparing the food. It's still over half an hour before dinner. I'll prepare it quickly. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll get it ready." Nate looked at Maria who continued to stand nearby. Sh
"Are you serious about what you're saying?” asked Nancy, making sure.Erica's devious plan of sleeping with President Bluebell made her sick. She felt very upset and envious. How could she get to know Bluebell's president and seduce him? Let alone sleeping together and getting that big project. She should have done the same thing to become superior to Erica. But she had never even met Bluebell's president in person. No one had ever seen his face.Even Erica had said herself that she had never met him, so she wanted to confirm if what Anthony said was true."Yes, of course. You think about it, how could someone like her get such a big offer if she didn't sell herself to Bluebell's president? I'm sure he set her up or just offered her body for a one-night stand. And what's even more disgusting is that we don't know if she's willing to be a prostitute who's ready to sleep with him whenever he needs to just to become the CEO," Anthony said with a harsh sentence. He was fed up and angry w
Today was a party hosted by Erica's family. Officials, businessmen, clients, and close relatives all came. The party was organized with great fanfare. In the center of the hall, which penetrated directly into the backyard that had been set up as well as possible, it was as luxurious as possible so that the people who came were mesmerized by the decoration of the party. Victoria even brought in a famous chef to prepare the food during the party.In addition, she did it to make President Bluebell feel honored by what she had prepared because today, she was the main character. Everyone was looking forward to seeing President Bluebell at the party.Some businessmen had even begged Erica's family they could come to the party, just to see what President Bluebell looked like all this time. They also wanted to see if they could get a new project by approaching the Bluebell president directly. Because so far, it has been very difficult for them to interact directly with him.Nate smiled widely
Nate was furious. He couldn't control his exploding temper. Roughly, he dragged Anthony out of the hall. He took him to the toilet and pushed his body roughly to the floor. He locked the door tightly. Making sure no one would enter or come there.His eyes sharpened as he looked at Anthony who was grimacing in pain. He was slumped on the floor, struggling to stand up with his fat body."Crazy bastard! What have you done?! How dare you come with me like this andー"Before he could finish his sentence, Anthony was shocked by a punch to his face. He screamed loudly when Nate's fist hit his cheek. He felt pain and soreness there. He fell back to the floor with his body hitting hard.Then without being able to do anything, and only grimacing in pain, Nate immediately fell on him. Giving him blow after blow as he pounded Anthony's face into a bloody pulp. He didn't let Anthony breathe.Anthony continued to moan, screaming in pain as he was beaten relentlessly. His hands were busy covering his
Erica looked around for Nate. She had been missing since the argument with Anthony earlier. Just then, Nancy's boyfriend arrived with his brother. They greeted her in a friendly manner, and her mother came over, also greeting him because since long ago, Maria had been very fond of Theo who was a rich garden businessman."Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Theo. How are you?" asked Maria as she shook Theo's hand. Her smile bloomed like a rose. She would love to set Erica up with Theo if she could turn back time because they looked so good together."I'm fine. How are you?" asked Theo. He smiled gently at Maria, then glanced at Erica standing next to her mother. For a long time, Theo had also secretly harbored feelings for her. But because of the news of her marriage, he no longer had the opportunity to approach her."I'm good too. You still remember Erica, right?" Maria asked."Yes, of course. How could I forget a woman as beautiful as Erica? We haven't seen each other for
"Nate, I apologize for Theo's rudeness just now," Erica said when they were some distance from Theo. She felt guilty for Nate."It's okay. It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize, Erica." Nate smiled. He rubbed Erica's arm affectionately. "Already, don't think about it anymore. This is your celebration party as the new CEO, don't be sad just because of one insignificant person. Don't let him ruin your previously good mood," she continued."Um, I understand."At that time, they accidentally met Morgan who had just entered the aura. Erica immediately approached Morgan with a happy smile."Morgan, did you just arrive?" asked Erica enthusiastically. She hugged Morgan and he returned it."Yes, I just arrived. Am I late?" she asked Erica."No, you're not. The party hasn't even started yet.""Hello, Mr. Nate. We meet again," Morgan greeted Nate with a meaningful smile."Yes, we meet again. It's good to see you again," Nate said.Erica looked around and saw that Morgan had come alone
Erica's eyes widened in surprise when Victoria called Nancy instead of her. She was in shock. Her hands trembled, clenching into fists. Her eyes moved uneasily as she saw Nancy grinning at her. She walked over to her. A triumphant smile that looked like it was patronizing her, mocking her. It made Erica's pride feel like it was being trampled on.Her hands clenched even tighter when Nancy was right in front of her. Smiling with satisfaction. A look that was so arrogant and haughty as it looked at her."How was it, Erica?" she asked in a mocking tone. "Are you surprised?"At this moment, Nancy was completely satisfied that she had hit her late. That right now, the one in charge was her and not Erica."You should look in the mirror and see your expression right now," Nancy laughed, "it's ridiculous and you look like a fool."Erica could not speak or utter a single word because her heart was currently broken. Destroyed by the dishonesty, and the betrayal committed by her grandmother. Thi
