"What the hell! You can't treat us like this!" Woody shouted angrily. He moved his body as much as possible, making it difficult for the men to catch him.But his directionless movements only exhausted him, and he ended up with depleted energy. Her eyes stared at the vodka glass on the table. Then she quickly picked it up and banged the bottom against the wall, making it shatter and spiky. After that, she used it as a weapon to protect herself.He pointed the sharp glass at the people like a coward. "No one comes near, no one comes near, or I'll kill you with this!"Suddenly, his words made the others do the same with the bottle there. They stood behind Woody, making a circle that protected them from the inside while they pointed at the broken glass from the outside.The people in charge of catching them then sighed. Now, their job became more complicated because the people they were about to catch were arming themselves with such tools."It's best to put that thing down now and surre
He turned to look at the others there. Looking at each one of them who had joined Woody in this conversation. "I think I've made myself clear enough in front of you all, about the parts you can take from me, those parts never existed." He cast his gaze at the group of people.Woody, who had fallen on the table, slowly got up with a groan. His body was in excruciating pain, but he didn't want to stop until he got there to talk to Richard. "Why? Why do you think that we have no right to anything? Don't you think that we have a right to do it? We are part of the family." He was serious about his desire for the outcome that the Marrison family had.In the past, he knew that in the rise of the Marrison family, there was her family's intervention. There was the support of other families who contributed both funds and their labor, but now, when Richard said they had no share whatsoever, he felt hurt to hear it. He could not accept it and was determined to get it no matter what.Richard looke
"Where are you taking us?" Louise, awake from her sleep, looked out the window.Some time ago, the people were taken by Richard's private heli directly to a remote island. From the edge of the island, they were transferred to the car and went on a long road trip.The road took a long time and the road conditions were also not so smooth, they finally reached a place in the middle of nowhere, which Louise now looked at with a strange look."Why is this whole place so dark?" she commented, her eyes looking again at the others, and now her unease began to become clearer. "What are you guys doing? Where exactly are you taking us?" she panicked, her tone of voice rising and unsteady.The loud noise that filled the car woke up the other three members, who were still fast asleep. There were many reasons why those people were fast asleep. One of them was that it was late in the day, they were tired from the long day, and they were originally made unconscious to make it easier to move.Those wh
"Sir, I have ordered from Mr. James." Smith came with a tab in his hand, which he placed right on Richard's desk.Richard, who was working a moment ago, then took a pause. He picked up the tab on the table that he needed to check. Smith implored him to check what he had prepared there.Richard glanced at Smith in front of him, somewhat skeptically. "What did father order you to do?" He was unsure which of his father's orders Smith was currently carrying out.Smith looked at Ricard hesitantly while holding back a smile. He knew this was Richard's least favorite thing to do, but for some reason, Smith agreed to what James was doing for Richard this time. "Mr. James asked me to prepare a date for you.""Ah!" Richard immediately exclaimed lazily. He showed clearly that he had lost interest, but he had no choice but to refuse. "Did Father say anything else? Did he say anything to you?"Smith paused and recalled for a moment, then shook his head. "He just said to choose the best candidate f
"Hey, you can't treat him like that!" Rachel swiftly put her body in front of Richard so that Richard would not be hit by the handbag Jane held and ready to fly.The handbag failed to hit Richard's head because Rachel held it with her hand. She held it there and kept the bag in the air. Her other hand made sure Richard stayed behind her and hid behind her back, even though it seemed contradictory because Richard's body, which pretended to be hunchbacked, still looked much bigger than her.But the woman didn't care. She still took action to secure Richard behind her while she directed a sharp gaze at Jane, who was also staring at her in annoyance.Jane's jaw seemed to have hardened. She remained stubbornly clean and refused to put her bag down. Instead, she signaled to Rachel that she would still try to levitate the bag to teach Richard a lesson. "Miss Rachel, you'd better not interfere with my arrangements, " she warned Rachel in a threatening tone of voice.Rachel didn't care. She co
Richard knew clearly who he meant to meet, so he didn't ask many questions. Instead, Richard planned not to meet Rachel first and let her wait for him. After Rachel was completely out of sight, he immediately contacted Smith with his phone while watching Rachel from the cafe's glass wall."Smith told the others I had an urgent need and couldn't meet them today. The meeting is canceled." Richard gave directions from the ongoing phone call.Elsewhere, Smith, who had prepared as thoroughly as possible, was surprised. He quickly went back to check Richard's schedule and found that today, he had cleared Richard's schedule for the meeting with the women. "Canceled, sir?" She repeated it again to make sure she hadn't misheard."Yes, canceled," Richard emphasized it clearly."But why? Didn't you already agree to do it?" He was stunned. "I've made sure that your schedule today is completely empty."Richard sipped his drink, still sitting casually in the café. With his shabby appearance, Richar
As the morning dawned, Smith did not delay the order he received from Richard to send the marriage proposal to Willson's family. He spent the night writing an official letter Richard signed, then set off for Willson's residence. "Should I give them a message about my arrival first?" She stood hesitantly in front of the gates of the Willson family home.Usually, the arrival of someone with important news needed to be scheduled. It couldn't just come because everyone had their own busy schedules, and it couldn't just come out of courtesy. For other reasons that made him excited, Smith forgot about it. He forgot to coordinate with Willson's family first so that they could prepare themselves at the very least.But after arriving in front of the residence, he couldn't return home without delivering the orders he was carrying out. He didn't want to disappoint his master, and he thought the Willson family would understand that this kind of thing was good to hurry up and not delay."Excuse m
"Rachel, don't just sit there. Go get ready or something!" Wilona reprimanded Rachel sternly as she saw that her daughter was utterly uninterested in this gathering.There was a stark contrast between Rachel's sombre mood and sullen face and her parents' enthusiasm, which was overwhelming.Ignoring her mother's words, she remained indifferent, sitting where she was and rolling her eyes.Furious with that, Wilona then came over to her. "Rachel, we discussed it yesterday, so stop acting like this."Rachel glanced at her mother lazily. "Being like this, what am I being like?" She replied in an irritating tone, and she did it on purpose.Braddy, who heard and saw her daughter's behaviour, sighed and glanced at her similarly. This clearly showed that Rachel had inherited her attitude from someone. "Rachel, please don't start it. The situation is currently very hectic, so don't start an argument."Rachel half got up from her seat. She straightened up and glanced at her father. "Who started
