In a large room surrounded by luxurious and expensive items, the European-style design reveals that the owner appreciates antique objects and art. Pricey paintings by famous artists hang on the walls. Each item in the room carries an ancient, vintage style, including retro things from the 1980s, such as a music player, a cassette recorder, or a box-shaped television.The tall flower vases and small vases on the table, adorned with ancient Egyptian patterns, are the room's focal points. Inside them are Kadupu flowers or Juliet roses, exquisite and like muses embellishing the extravagance of this place.In the center of the room, there is a rocking chair that sways gently with the movement of the person sitting on it. A man wearing a bathrobe lies comfortably on the chair, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. In front of him is a functioning radio, emitting crisp and musical sounds."Olivia, I have decided, and the board of directors has agreed. There is nothing left to discuss," said a
Being noticed by others, incredibly wealthy and influential individuals, was good. In reality, Edward was now capable of handling these matters himself. They had money, and he had money too, but money alone was not enough for him. Power and position were the deciding factors in this battle.Edward threw his phone aside and casually reclined on the front seat, listening to the conversation sounds coming from the radio.o0oBoard of Directors meeting room,The board of directors meeting room was located on the second floor of the administrative building of Phenika University. This was where high-level meetings took place, including the three regular members and three senior members of the board of directors. Usually, unless something severe occurred at the university, this room would only be opened twice a year for the members to grasp the overall situation, evaluate teaching methods and the university's profits during the past period, and most importantly, set the goals and direction f
"Well, enough, Olivia. I don't understand why you insist on bringing this up when it has already been resolved, and quite simply, I might add." Finally, Mr. Holland spoke up, showing impatience toward Olivia.But Olivia was never patient with him either. She said, "Because the way this matter was handled was not satisfactory, I have to bring it up again. Just think, if a similar incident happens in the future, will we keep handling it for our benefit regardless of whether it's right or wrong? The truth will come out, and this won't remain hidden forever. And when that happens, don't regret it!"Olivia spoke without restraint, her voice sharp and firm. Her words indeed provoked Mr. Holland. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and stared directly into Olivia's eyes."What are you saying? You've gone too far!""Who's gone too far? Do you have evidence to accuse that student? Even criminals who commit murder are heard, yet here you only listen to one side and believe what you want
For those in the current meeting, that voice was extremely unfamiliar, except Olivia recognized that it had a somewhat familiar tone.The door to the boardroom had been opened at some point, and a man in a suit walked in. He appeared to be around forty years old, dressed in expensive attire from head to toe. The man's face was stern, angular, exuding power and nobility. Anyone who looked at him could tell he was not easily approached.Initially, the boardroom door had a private passcode known only to the members and a few close associates, their bodyguards. So it was unusual for someone from outside to enter. This person must be...It was as if everyone had their answer, but they were unwilling to believe it or still skeptical about how he could appear.If that person did appear, it could influence their decision.But it seemed that their worries were justified.The man approached and confidently sat down in the highest chair, facing the astonished gazes of everyone present. In the fa
How will the revenge plan against Jeff and Janet unfold?Edward was still contemplating how to create a big surprise for them.He was also about to organize an online interview on the company's secure software to hire an assistant for himself. However, at that moment, he suddenly received a phone call from Mr. Benson."Hello, Mr. Benson."Edward was still enjoying his current life, sitting in front of his desk and reviewing the CVs of the applicants while using the company's exclusive software to verify the accuracy of the information and evaluate each candidate more deeply.From the other end of the line, Mr. Benson's voice sounded."Good evening, Edward. Have you settled into your current life?"Mr. Benson asked, showing his concern. In reality, Edward was adaptable and felt that this life was meant for him. So when he returned to this house, it felt like two puzzle pieces finding each other to form a complete picture. Therefore, there was no issue, of course. But Edward couldn't sa
Edward looked up and saw a cheerful company employee standing before him, with a young man in a suit standing behind her. At that moment, Edward glanced around and noticed several empty seats. He couldn't understand why the man didn't sit in those seats but instead asked him to give up his spot.However, that was a minor issue for Edward. He wasn't one to be petty or selfish. To him, giving up a seat to avoid trouble was worth it. Moreover, he wanted to avoid attracting attention at this moment. He was focused on another important matter. So, he stood up and moved to another seat.Just as Edward had settled into his new seat, the man, before sitting down, unexpectedly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the chair. This action caught Edward's attention, and as he looked over, he saw the man taking a bottle of disinfectant spray from his pocket and continuously spraying the seat. He then used a lot of tissue paper to wipe it before casually throwing it on the floor next to a nearby tras
Edward looked at the other person, wanting to see what he was up to. At that moment, the guy suddenly opened TikTok and hit the live stream button.This was an action that Edward could never have anticipated. People around him were equally shocked, and some employees from the Goreng Corporation tried to stop him, but he pushed them aside, even causing a female employee to fall to the ground while she was wearing high heels, and the fall seemed to have hurt her badly.Edward couldn't stand idly by anymore; he approached and helped the female employee up while the man continuously pointed his phone at him and said, "Everyone, watch this! Look at this man, using counterfeit products and still daring to act big here. We must speak up, change the brand, and demand justice."Edward looked at the increasing number of viewers on the man's phone screen and thought enough was enough. He had wanted to be accommodating and avoid confrontation, but now it seemed this was his only choice. He wouldn
Edward recognized this voice; it was Mr. Benson's voice. He arrived just in time. Edward glanced at his watch; he was ten minutes late for the appointment. Of course, he wasn't overly concerned about punctuality, but Mr. Benson's tardiness was somewhat suspicious and made others doubt him.At this very moment, while Edward was still contemplating, Mr. Benson walked up to him, and to Edward's surprise, Mr. Swan and Felicia were with him. Edward furrowed his brows, wondering why Mr. Benson and Felicia would appear together. Wasn't the purpose of Mr. Benson calling him to the company to hand over work and introduce his assistant? What was he up to?Not only Mr. Swan but Felicia too—quite peculiar. Though Edward didn't know the purpose of Mr. Benson bringing them along, it heightened his wariness towards him.Seeing Mr. Benson and Felicia together escalated Edward's cautiousness even more. At this point, Director Getman was happy to see Mr. Benson, as people in illusions and despair often
