"This is crazy, this is crazy, this is... asshole! This isn't real. How could that ignorant man be a... ah shit...!" Bastian didn't know how many times he had sworn so harshly that the guests began to glance at him sarcastically.This all felt so unreal!In the corner of the room, the three of them gathered with dumbfounded faces, almost shocked by the announcement.Alex was the owner of Bi's company?No way!That's impossible!The Verg family simply couldn't believe that this was real. On the other hand, the Sans were also desperately defending their argument that the announcement was just a joke.How could Alex, who they knew as a weak man who was always bullied, become... a billionaire?Just when they thought that Alex was just dirt on the toe of their shoes, the truth was that he was the real dirt."I refuse to believe it," Bastian said with emphasis.Tonny stroked his tight chest. "I feel sick. Please spank me again," he pleaded with Bastian.Bastian gladly did so to vent his fru
"What exactly are they arguing about again? Didn't you guys just get back from a party?"Inside the room, Alex and Lucia lay on the bed after turning on the heat. Lucia lay on her side facing her husband and asked him what was on his mind. They mentioned something about Bi's company and he didn't understand."They accused me of being a liar. So at the party..." Alex took a breath and looked at his wife. He knew Lucia would accept everything, but she might be angry that Alex had been hiding his identity. "At the party we went to, I revealed my identity as the owner of the Bi company. And... they thought it was all a lie.""Wh-what..." Lucia paused trying to digest what Alex had said. Then as if she just realized what her husband was talking about, her eyes widened and her mouth opened. Lucia was frozen like a statue for a long time."Did you just say... you own Bi's company?" Lucia's voice was barely audible at the end of the sentence.Alex nodded in response.Lucia fell silent again
Bastian stood in the corner of the yard with narrowed eyes. His gaze was directed at Alex who was watering the plants, but the man's gaze was fixed on empty air. His mouth was moving, but he looked like he was talking to something.Alex must be crazy, Bastian thought. Why was the man talking to himself? Even to the point of smiling at the empty air in front of him.Bastian had come to talk about the news that was making the rounds in the media. It was none other than the announcement of the owner of the Bi company. However, Bastian still did not believe that the news was true.This whole thing must be a joke.It was possible that the news would last for a week, then there would be an announcement from Angelo's side. Bastian held firm to that opinion because he would never concede Alex's position."Bastian, what are you doing there?" Tonny, who had just entered through the fence, asked in surprise.Bastian shook his head and glanced back at Alex's place, where the man was getting busy
The news on the media sites had settled down a bit after a week, so Alex decided to come to Bi Company today.He and Lucia still used the bus as transportation to the office, although Alex could have used his Lamborghini or his new car. Even hired a driver to take him back and forth to wherever he wanted to go.It was just that Alex still wanted to see how the Verg family would deny it. They kept accusing him of being a fraud, so he wanted to see how they would respond now."Now that your status has been revealed, are you still going to work as a cleaning service?" Lucia leaned her head against Alex's shoulder as she asked in a low voice.Their faces were partially covered by the thick scarves around their necks. The bus wasn't crowded, but Lucia suggested that they stay out of the public eye for a while.Alex agreed, especially since journalists were aggressively hunting for the latest news regarding Bi Company. While his face would be exposed, fortunately his wife and son's faces wo
"Mr. Alexander Gates! A little explanation please! We just want to know the chronology!""How did you build Bi Company to the global top after the destruction of your old company?!""How did you come to know Mr. Angelo Gambino and establish a major cooperation with him?!"That question again.Alex sighed looking at the reporters who had arrived before lunch. He had hired an extra security guard to stand guard at the company's door, just in case there were any crazy reporters who couldn't be controlled.They had arrived an hour ago, gathering outside the company to ask for an interview. Alex did not meet them and only asked Missi to respond to a few questions.The reporters were quite annoying.Alex didn't know they were coming. He should have set up security right at the entrance of the company. At this rate, he would have to call the police to discipline them all.He had gotten one tip from Angelo. Once he gave the reporters a pass, they would keep coming and disrupting his life.So,
"You know what? Dozens of employees at Bi Company were fired suddenly this morning. And I heard stories that Alex was in the middle of them with Missi! Anyway, there are many rumors that Alex is the real owner of Bi Company!" Maria explained in one breath. Without realizing it, Maria stood up because she was so upset. The facts on display felt like an illusion that had to be believed.Tonight, after the meal, the Sans family gathered in the living room for a discussion. The gray squirrel who was collecting nuts watched them from the window.Maria sat back on the carpet with a deep sigh. Their expensive sofa had been sold to buy some trendy clothes. The family couldn't afford to be left out, or people would start to suspect their crumbling economy.Her in-laws seemed to be in deep thought at Maria's explanation, as did John and Jasmine."I think it's just a rumor. Logically, if Alex is the owner of Bi and fired the employee he hates, shouldn't you be fired too, Maria?" her mother-in-l
Heavy rain had just fallen, making the roads quite slippery, especially the path to the AG Company's branch office. It was built a week after Angelo's arrival, since the main company was in Spain. Alex drove his new car through the cypress trees and mushroom and ginger shops. From across the road, the mouth-watering aroma of freshly baked bread made Alex's stomach hungry.He hadn't had breakfast yet.He and Lucia had slept late after chatting about Bianca's gift, so they woke up late. Alex didn't have time to eat breakfast since his meeting with Angelo was scheduled for 7:30 and he didn't want to be late.Usually they met at restaurants, but Angelo had specifically asked him to come to his office.At the end of the street, a five-story white building came into view. Alex didn't need to say anything and the security guards quickly opened the door.Alex parked his car under the canopied parking lot, then looked around for a moment. It was a simple place with a unique design typical of
"Alex threw me out with contempt! I'm tired of trying to persuade him anyway, so we'll have to use the rough way from now on!" Jasmine yelled into the phone, while Maria could be heard clucking in annoyance on the other side."I know, but stop yelling. Be as rude as you want and stop calling me! My work is piling up right now.""Heh, since when do you care about your work?""Jeez, shut up you jobless bastard who can only use my money," Maria reproached and Jasmine rolled her eyes."Alright, alright," Jasmine said in a quieter voice. "I didn't call you just to vent. I want to ask you a favor.""What is it?""I need you to text Lucia using the new number, tell her to go to the Andalumia boutique downtown. Tell her Alex is waiting for her there. Tell her convincingly until she believes you," Jasmine explained at length. "Alex is still at his old house and when he is playing with Bianca, he will put his cell phone on silent, so you have to pretend to be Alex. I'm sure Lucia will believe y
