Jill’s hand slapped Arthur hardly. Her eyes were wide, as if ready to pounce on anyone who came in her way.
“Can’t you learn from your previous mistakes, Arthur? You lost your dad’s car over a bet! And you’ll lost JF Printing the same way? Can’t you learn from your own mistakes, huh?”Arthur didn’t answer. He didn’t even dare to stroke his cheek, which was hot and painful at the same time.“Is that why you keep trying to convince me to marry you with Lia off as soon as possible? You even stayed here just to talk to me until midnight, just to persuade me to get you married and print the invitations immediately? Is that why? What the holy shit! You’re so insolent! You’re ignorant and unreliable! Can’t you think before you can do anything, huh?”Unfortunately, Arthur remained silent. He knew he could have replied and persuaded Jill to stop being angry, but he felt he needed to be properly punished. He had already lost. Before even trying to fight.

"What's going on, Mr Smith?"Will Smith smiled as he met Tom, who had just arrived after being called by Pete to see him. He stood up and shook Tom's hand proudly."Congratulations, Mr Cobb. Or Mr Fischer. What should I call you? It sounds absurd."Tom patted the back of Smith's hand, who shook it lightly. "Take it easy, Mr Smith. You can call me by any name you want. Both are my names. Why should I be embarrassed when I've already proven that I'm a descendant of Fischer?"Mr Smith nodded and returned to sit with Tom facing each other on the sofa. "I tried to contact your brother. But he didn't answer my calls. Nor did Pete. So, how are we going to start this?"At Smith's question, Tom glanced at his watch. In an hour, their bet would be over. "What if we go to JF Printing?""You sure Arthur's there?"Tom nodded and shook his head simultaneously. He glanced at Pete, who nodded his head from a distance. "At least I know h

"Sorry if I'm coming too late, Arthur."Arthur shook his head and turned to Dwyane, who had been silent, accompanying him through the traffic. He smiled when he saw a woman who was much different from the first time they met."No, don't apologise. I disappointed you in the past too. Maybe this time I get my punishment."Dwyane closed her mouth softly, showing her expression of concern for what had happened to Arthur just now. "Sorry, Arthur. If I had remembered my old book I had a draft of to change the plot in my workspace at the office, maybe you could still have saved JF Printing.""No, Dwyane. Please stop apologising. It's not your fault. I'm not capable enough to lead JF Printing out of the bankruptcy zone, anyway. I only made it worse by staying with me."For the rest of the journey, the two were silent. For the first time, the defeat Arthur received did not make his emotions explode. Instead, there was another emotional feeling tha

"What's this, Arthur?"Jill threw some photos sent to her right into Arthur's downcast face. Her anger about the bet had not subsided when she heard about Arthur's meeting with Dwyane Hills moments before.Arthur picked up the photos Jill threw at him and placed them on the table. "I'm just trying harder to keep JF Printing, Mrs Reynolds. She's my last resort.""I don't care about your excuses, Arthur! I just want to know, what is it? What's happened to you lately, Arthur? Have you forgotten or pretended to forget that you promised me to do whatever I tell you to do? You just have to answer me and you just gimme excuses?"Jill was completely out of patience. After experiencing the loss, the anger, and the disappointment of Arthur's unprofessional behaviour, she found another mistake that Arthur made. "You forgot she was stalking you? You reported her and now you're in the same car with her? Are you getting crazy? You're going to lick your damn shoes that you've soiled with dog shit, hu

“Hey, what’s this celebration?”Question after question from the JF Group’s employees made everyone curious. No one knew that the ballroom, which was usually used to welcome big events, was now crowded with people. Not just from colleagues, but also employees who had wandered in for free.Ronald White had just arrived when he asked the security guard about the personalised invitation sent through the company website. Sure enough, no one knew what the party was for.Instead of getting rumours from the few employees present, Ronald White continued to pay attention to every interior that the organiser had put together in just one night.“Doesn’t anyone know about this celebration?” Ronald asked once again. Unfortunately, he didn’t get any answers from the many people present.It was not only colleagues from JF’s extensive projects who come to fill the grand ballroom on the upper ground floor of the famous JF Groups, but also representatives from the subsidiaries’ employees.Jill’s car had

"What the holy shit—""Watch your tongue, Arthur! There are a lot of people here!" Jill held Arthur's hand back. Her eyes widened as Arthur tried to break free of her grip. "You're not do anything until I give you instructions, Arthur. Isn't that right?"Arthur paused at the sight of Jill's frightened expression. He swallowed hard before finally nodding, ignoring Stallone, who was still staring at him triumphantly."I think I know what this celebration is when I see those scum sitting in the front row."Arthur nodded and looked around. There were more invited guests than he had imagined. However, he noticed a few people that he had never met."Do you recognise them, Mrs Reynolds?" Arthur pointed to several tables that he had never recognised before.Jill squinted, taking in each scanned face. But she also blinked and shook her head slowly. "I don't think I've seen them either. Who are they? At best, they're rubbish guests who are as useless as Cobb."Camellia, who had been enjoying the

Jill got up restlessly. Her gaze was not to be outdone. Until all the guests turn their attention to her.Aland remained expressionlessly staring at Jill, who had the guts to stand up in the middle of the event. Before finally he actually opened his voice even though his gaze could not escape the respected Jill Reynolds. "As you know, Lark Brown, he is the one who has been trying to harm me lately. I mourn his terrible death. But I am also grateful that one of my enemies has fallen."Hearing Aland's explanation, Jill let out a long breath. She smiled softly before lowering her head and leaving the table for the women's toilet at the back end of the famous JF Groups ballroom.Seeing an intimidated Jill, Aland returned his attention to the guests. "Lark Brown even tried to burn down JF warehouse. I don't know why he was so obsessed with a higher position that he had to put himself, his good name, and his honour at risk. But I also thank him for showing himself that he can no longer be tr

Jill threw her expensive clutch in a random direction when she arrived in her office at Reynolds industries in a fury. Her breathing was ragged as she had been holding back her anger for the past half an hour. She closed all the curtains and doors tightly before shouting at the top of her lungs."What the fuck! Whoever that fucking guy is, Cobb or Fischer, I'm still going to demand a lot for today's humiliating incident! Damn it!"Jill sat on the sofa with her chest rising and falling to the rhythm of her increasingly heavy breathing. She took a deep breath before finally trying to calm down. "It's okay. I was humiliated today. At least Reynolds stock will go up with the success of JF Groups because it managed to keep three other subsidiaries out of bankruptcy."Jill fidgeted again. She glanced at the luxurious black clutch she had thrown. She hurriedly grabbed a phone from inside the clutch to call someone."Come on, Arthur. Pick up the phone! If

Jill blinked softly, trying to make excuses for questions that might be asked by the journalists summoned by Aland. Her smile never ceased to widen because she knew that this news would make her even luckier if she got it right."Ah, you're right. I should have brought it here. But really, I forgot not to bring it here. I think I left it at home. How about talking about this at the family dinner tonight?"Aland was still expressionless. He nodded slowly before finally turning to Jill, who still had her hand on his arm. "How about telling them that Reynolds Industries is not actually yours, Mrs Reynolds?"Hearing Aland's request, Reynolds' smile faded. She swallowed hard as all the journalists within earshot were so curious that they could not stop peppering her with unimaginable questions."What does Mr Fischer mean, Mrs Reynolds?""How could Reynolds Industries not be yours?""If you don't own it, then why are you the chairman?”
