Aland stopped climbing the stairs. He glanced at the customers, who were looking at him curiously. Slowly but surely, Aland smiled in response to his customer's question that he did not recognise.
"I only want to make JF Moulding as successful as before, mam. Whoever my parents are, I don't care. All I know is that I have to do a good job for JF Moulding's loyal customers. Have a nice day and enjoy more discounts on the furniture of your choice. Please excuse me."Receiving an unexpected response, the customers who heard it could only be silent and glanced at each other quietly. But in the next second, they were again busy choosing the furniture of their choice that was being promoted with many discounts.Aland arrived at the second floor when he saw the ten new JF Moulding employee candidates sitting in a row. He smiled as Megan approached. "Shall we begin now, Mr Fischer?"Without answering, Aland immediately looked at each of the candidates who

"W-what did you say? Didn't I mishear? I mean, he's rewarding you with his subsidiary that starts inaugurating tomorrow? Are you getting crazy? A company as big as US Foods worth three hundred million dollars became yours overnight?"It wasn't only Jill who was shocked to death, Camellia also blinked so fast that she had to hold her breath for a long time. "Th-three hundred million dollars? How could he give up that much money for you for nothing, Arthur?"Arthur smiled triumphantly. He nodded his head slowly as he looked up, gazing at the ceiling of Jill's equally luxurious residence. "I originally only asked her to acquire JF Travel so that I could survive. And to make me an investor in the new project that Reynolds Industries was creating so that I would also have a stake. But apparently, Shannon refused."Hearing Arthur's explanation, Jill shook her head slowly. She blinked rapidly and leaned in quickly. "Wait! Reynolds' new project? Shannon refused? H

"Oh, my! Are you serious about this news?" asked Aland after finishing a job interview with three manager candidates in the factory area. His hands were busy massaging his temples as he heard the shocking news about Arthur returning with another ownership in the name of US Foods.Slowly but surely, Aland opened his laptop went he arrived in his room. He, wanna to the search page, and searched for news about Ted Bowen to verify everything. Unfortunately, he found the news. News about Ted Bowen's condition after an accident in San Francisco during the company tour, according to what his trusted people said."No wonder he turned two bankrupt subsidiaries over to me for free. Apparently it's because someone has secured his life more. Apparently, someone gave him more bucks than the income he earned from the corrupt business at JF Groups."After thanking him, Aland quickly disconnected the call from the person he had trusted to stake out Arthur and Jill this mo

"How is that possible? Pete didn't say anything about this."Aland's surprise at the news that had just been revealed made Shannon nod in understanding. Even she herself had only learnt about the truth from an overheard conversation.He was so shocked that Aland, who was driving a car, slowed down and had to pull over to calm his mind."At first I didn't believe it either, Aland. But when I remember how enthusiastic Mum was about making Arthur the main owner of JF Groups for a long time, and how yesterday Mum's words that echoed during Arthur's death were heard, it all makes sense."Aland closed his eyes. He looked up and leaned his head. No wonder Jill was so adamant about all of JF's wealth going to Arthur that she had to kill him."I wonder. Was Arthur's abandonment of me also provoked by Jill? She went too far if Arthur's behaviour back then was really because of Jill's words."Shannon took Aland's hand in hers and looked at

Hand in hand, Shannon and Aland entered the house after much deliberation. The two entered without wearing masks like everyone else who was attending the celebration. But strangely, the lights shone right on the two after entering the fence.In the glare, Shannon quickly looked away, hiding her face in the crook of Aland's neck. Aland did the same. To cover his eyes from the blinding light of the lamp, his arms were raised as if he was shading himself from the light that came from nowhere."You see, don't you?" asked Shannon quietly. She glanced at Aland with concern. "They just want to embarrass us."Who would have thought that while Shannon and Aland were still glancing at each other because of the ignored warning, the applause suddenly echoed so loudly? The roar of applause suddenly made the two of them wonder."Because of our new mate, Arthur and I are more certain of our feelings. Arthur and I, in fact, have loved each other since we first me

The clock was still pointing to eight in the evening when Shannon and Aland walked into their room on the second floor. Shannon let out a long sigh and flopped onto the bed with her head spinning. She chuckled in annoyance, then looked up at the ceiling in resignation."You saw it, didn't you? They really humiliated us. I can't believe it, but they never think properly, Aland. All they can think just about is how they can surpass us."Aland smiled softly as he looked at his watch. He loosened his tie before taking off his elegant shirt."You saw it too, didn't you? I can still turn it around, Shannon. There were more than a dozen journalists there. They must have made our statement under the headline. Isn't our well-being more important than anything else?"Shannon twisted her head. She frowned and began to rest her head on her right hand while tilting to the right, watching her husband, who was changing his clothes. "How did you get that evidence

"Just like you wanted, right? We're going to make Cobb lick our boots for his arrogant behaviour. We will bring him to his knees in defeat. He who so brazenly deprived you of everything James gave you must have his comeuppance. Isn't that right, Arthur?"Jill reached over and tapped Arthur lightly on the shoulder. She smiled while hiding her nervousness. She almost let Arthur know the truth if she wasn't so clever.Unfortunately, Arthur was still squinting, looking at Jill curiously. He still doubted Jill's words, even though his head nodded, confirming. "If there's something bothering you, Mrs Reynolds. You can tell me. You know it well, don't you?"Jill looked at Arthur with her characteristic smile, then nodded slowly as she turned to gaze at the family photograph taken when she first came to William Reynolds' family eighteen years earlier. "Of course, Arthur. I will tell you all my worries. And so will you. Since I've officially become your personal co

Together with Aland, Shannon, and Camellia, Jill arrived just before the inauguration ceremony began. Helped by Aland, who carried his mother-in-law out of the car and into a wheelchair, Jill still wore a beaming smile in front of the journalists and reporters who came from various media outlets.Assisted by Lia, who pushed the impromptu wheelchair she had bought on the way, Jill spoke up when one journalist asked how she was doing. "No, please don't worry. I just feel dizzy. There's nothing wrong with me. Maybe after this inauguration event, I can rest as much as possible for the sake of my health."Behind Jill, Shannon and Aland, who were about to enter the US Foods area, were not spared by the media. Especially about the statement that was being talked about by many articles from several mass media outlets."Can you please say something about your statement last night, Mr Fischer? Are you sure Reynolds Industries sends five per cent of its profits to so

Aland walked quickly away from the US Foods building inauguration area as soon as possible with Shannon. His hasty steps were noticed by several journalists who had come to cover the US Foods inauguration from outside the continent.For the first time, Aland ignored the questions of the many journalists who greeted him. Without nodding or apologising, he walked away with Shannon, who also looked anxious. His other hand was raised to chest level, and he stretched his fingers as if he was saying, I don't have time to answer your questions, sorry.Shannon ran around, trying to keep up with Aland, whose strides were so wide. He took Shannon to the parking lot and drove away from the US Foods building, which was no less grand than the famous JF Groups.Along the way, Aland tried to focus on the road. His eyes looked teary even though he had wiped his face roughly several times. Occasionally, his elbow would rest on the window, and he would express his worry by
