Earlier that day:Jack Froster was in his luxurious room, preparing for both a meeting and the school reunion later that day. He wore a red suit and was putting on a very expensive shoe when his phone rang.He walked over to the table and picked it up."Sir, I have prepared everything. Should I take them to the location now?" a man's voice came through the phone.A smile crept onto Jack's face. "Great, take it there. I'll discuss with my secretary to send your payment immediately.""Understood, sir," the man replied before the call ended.After hanging up, Jack chuckled to himself. ‘Haha, I can't wait to see how William reacts to all the humiliating things I have on him. He will pay for talking dirty at the car shop,’ Jack thought.* * *At the meeting hall:‘What is this bastard doing here?’ Jack Froster was shocked to see William walking into a room only millionaires could enter.Jack kept staring at William with puzzlement, as though he was awaiting an explanation. He never expecte
The meeting continued with everyone presenting their suggestions, all of which were considered with thorough discussion. No one was left out, not even the investors with the smallest shares. This inclusive approach created an atmosphere of collaborative harmony that surpassed William's expectations. He was expectating a boring meeting but this one was quite the opposite.However, in any gathering, there's always someone who tries to disrupt the peace with their strong opinions, and that person was Jack Froster. “We are considering signing a deal with the Hunter Organization. What do you all think about that?” asked one of the elderly men, a respected member of StarkCom management board whose voice carried weight in such discussions. His query was met with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism.“That is a very bad idea. Who would even think of signing a deal with those people?” a lady immediately voiced her opposition, her tone sharp and disapproving. Her reaction set off a chain of
“What!!” Jack yelled, a stunned look on his face.He stared at the list again. There were only three companies, and the one he was representing was at the top. He could not believe it. How could this be possible? The company he actively invested in, the one he had poured his heart and soul into, was now being sold. He felt a wave of disbelief wash over him.Inside the meeting room, three others shared Jack's confused expression. One was the lady who had first objected to joining hands with the hunter organization. She had always been vocal about her disapproval, and now her confusion was mixed with a palpable sense of frustration. The other was the middle-aged man who had supported William. Unlike the others, he did not share their confusion; instead, he wore a frown on his face, a look that suggested he knew more than he was letting on. The head of the management board observed everyone’s faces before speaking. He was a man known for his calm demeanor and strategic mind. Today, howe
Duke's Star Event CenterDuke's Star Event Center is one of the largest event centers, not just in Astoria, but worldwide. It is known for its grandeur and luxury, attracting an elite clientele. Renting this place is very expensive, which shows how exclusive it is. From grand weddings to high-profile business events, booking Duke's Star Event Center is a significant financial commitment.Today, former students of Astoria Global Academy have rented the entire event center for their class reunion. This grand event shows their success and unity. They paid for not only the field but also the workers, hotel accommodations, bar services, the luxurious pool area, and even the exclusive gambling house. If one estimates the cost, it would be around half a million dollars per day. Since the class booked the place for five days, they paid two and a half million dollars. This sum represents an extraordinary expenditure, reflecting the magnitude of their celebration.This extravagant spending was
After leaving the meeting, William drove to the villa to meet Clarissa, who was already waiting for him so they could drive to the reunion together. However, she did not want to attend the reunion because she was aware of the rumors that had spread about the two of them.“Should we really attend this reunion?” Clarissa asked, her face showing a slightly sad expression.“Yes, I have to pay them back for everything they have done to us, or else I won't be able to have a calm mind,” William replied.They had made him go through so much hell that he had contemplated taking his own life. They had transformed Clarissa, who used to be a bright, lively, and cheerful girl, into someone who cared too much about the emotions of others before taking any action. They had turned the bold woman he fell in love with into someone timid and weak. They had pushed both of them to the edge of the world.If William did not avenge them, he would never be able to forgive himself.“Fine, we will attend, but p
"Welcome everyone to our very first school reunion after so many years of separating and going through our various walks of life separately," Jordan, known for being the most outspoken back in school, stood on a raised platform and announced to the students seated on the well-arranged seats. The excitement in his voice was palpable, as he scanned the crowd, recognizing familiar faces and seeing how much everyone had changed over the years."Thanks to the contribution of two of our very best classmates, Donald Grayson and Kate Henshaw, we have been able to obtain this place for the three days our reunion is going to last. Their generosity and dedication to making this event happen are truly commendable," Jordan continued, his voice echoing through the venue. The crowd responded with a round of applause, acknowledging the efforts of their peers."In these three days, we have prepared a lot of exciting activities to engage in together. Today is the first day and we would have fewer activ
Sometimes, when one prays for the misfortune and downfall of their enemies, their enemies end up surpassing their expectations in the worst ways possible. That is the story of William."What! Who is that stunning prince charming?" one of the women exclaimed, unable to hide her astonishment."Look at his hands, so strong. I would be happy if someone like him choked me to death while we do it," another woman added, her voice filled with a mix of shock and admiration.This time, it was the turn of the ladies to be stunned. With sleek black hair, gorgeous blue eyes, and a tall, slender, muscular build, this man was the image of what they called PERFECT. If he were wearing a suit right now, they would have mistaken him for a celebrity.However, none of them knew this was the William they had all shunned in the past, the same young man they enjoyed humiliating. "Isn't that William?" one of the guys frowned, alerting the others. "William?" The others were confused, especially the ladies;
Donald stood silently in front of the couple, uncertain about what action to take after being berated by Clarrisa. His eyes darted between them while his mind raced out, trying to findwords to ease the tension. TWilliam gave him a cold smile, a reminder of his precarious situation. It was a smile that spoke volumes, a silent message that echoed louder than any words could. Clarrisa, on the other hand, stared at her number one rival with a menacing smirk, her eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of having put Donald in his place.The atmosphere between them was tense.“William, Clarrisa. It’s nice meeting you guys again.”A voice broke the silence, calm and smooth, carrying no negative intention. It was a voice William recognized, the voice of the only person he respected during his high school years. “Jordan,” William smiled and greeted him, stretching out his hand. They shook hands warmly, a handshake that carried the weight of past memories and shared experiences.“You have grown t
