Mr. Benson couldn't help but chuckle. Assuming that Edward will be the next president of the corporation, that will certainly be a matter of decades later. Wait until he retreats then Edward can sit there. How could these high-ranking old men agree? They will not allow anyone to touch their economy!“Edward, how do you feel. Goreng Group I will return it to you but first you must show us your ability. First of all, there is still a vacant position of CEO, you just sit there for a while. Wait until you have enough experience and knowledge, this chair will be yours." That's right, if Edward wants to sit here, he has to wait and he doesn't know how long! A kid who's not clean yet wants to fight with him? It's true that I don't know how to measure myself.The scenario in front of Edward had already been calculated. If it were him, he wouldn't let a blind newbie sit in that chair. However, if he had planned it, how could he make a mistake!“Are you sure that President Benson has not made a
"Please ring up these items for me."On scorching summer days like this, convenience stores are still an excellent choice for many people. The line of customers waiting to pay was long and continuous. The young man at the cash register was swiftly tallying up the purchases, his movements incredibly fast, with constant beeping sounds. At the same time, a bright smile always adorned his face, and the phrase "Welcome to 10&3" was ready to greet each customer who walked in.Just then, another young man emerged from the changing room, apparently also an employee of 10&3, and had just finished changing into his uniform. He approached the cashier and said, "It's my shift now, Edward. Take a break.""Okay," Edward replied, glancing at his watch while switching positions with the new arrival. It was precisely one o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to hurry to the Winmart mini supermarket to make it in time for his shift from two in the afternoon until ten in the evening."Running another sho
Perhaps even in his wildest dreams, Edward had never dreamt of such a horrifying nightmare. What he saw before him was his girlfriend, Janet. She was in the most vulnerable state, entwined with another man, and her moans of desire filled the air.She had told him she was studying, but in reality, she was having an affair with someone else. Edward couldn't believe what he was seeing, and as he opened the restroom door, both turned to look at him, including the man Edward recognized as Jeff is one of the young heirs of a wealthy family in this city. The reason why Edward knows Jeff is that Jeff's mother is a member of the board of directors at this university, while his father is the owner of a company.This scene struck him with a tremendous shock. "Janet!?" Edward exclaimed, his voice trembling. "What is all this? Is this all true?"Edward clutched his head with his hands, unable to accept this reality, retreating further and further within himself. How would he confront Janet, and
Leaving the library, Edward returns to his dormitory. However, as he entered the room, his roommate, Harry, greeted him with a sad and panicked expression."Oh, Edward, what happened to you? Where were you? Do you know what's going on? The whole school forum is buzzing about you going into the women's restroom in the library and spying! I can't believe this!"Edward's heart tightened as he realized the seriousness of the situation.Did those people post about him on social media already? They were so fast that they didn't listen to Olivia's words. Yes, they took pictures of him, and someone even recorded a video. Those cameras were like guns, and social media were the most extensive courtroom where anyone could be condemned.Edward hurriedly sat down at his desk and turned on his computer. Despite mentally preparing himself, he couldn't help but fall silent when he accessed the university forum.He had become the target of gossip and false accusations, and now, terrible insults were b
The following day, due to staying up late the previous night and having no classes in the morning, Edward allowed himself to sleep in. He also requested time off from his library job because he knew that his presence there would cause a stir.However, as Edward was deeply immersed in his slumber, the telephone sound suddenly pierced through the room, resonating in the air. Gradually awakening, Edward reached out to fumble for the phone, his mind filled with questions. Who could be calling him at this hour? Could it be a terrorist threat from someone?Edward brought the phone to eye level, and upon seeing an unknown phone number, he hesitated. But at that moment, his heart suddenly started pounding, and deep within him, a sense of worry urged him to answer the call. Finally, Edward decided to press the answer button."Hello," he said."Hello, is this Edward Sherwood?" a gentle voice on the other end inquired."Yes, that's correct. What's this about?" Edward's voice trembled as he reali
"Let me open the door," Emily said.After three knocks on the door, Emily finally stood up. She didn't know who was knocking, and whoever it was, they couldn't have come at a worse time during this chaotic and private moment for her family.Emily reached out and opened the door, raising her gaze. But as soon as she saw who it was, her expression immediately turned cold and changed.Her first words were not a greeting or an invitation into the house, as she had imagined in her head. Instead, she asked, "What are you doing here?"It was Edward who had arrived, someone who was not welcomed in this house. And Emily's words also notified the other three people inside the house of his presence.Edward glanced inside the house that had once been so familiar to him, where he had lived from birth until eight. It has changed significantly, with luxurious and eye-catching decorations, and even the people living within it have changed.Yes, he carried the Sherwood name and was also one of the "me
These were the most extended moments in Edward's life. He stood there, bewildered, looking at his stepfather and stepmother while Emily and Jasper exclaimed, "Father, mother, are you mistaken? This is absurd, impossible! How could you agree to lend him money!?" "That's right; I don't agree with this at all. He's shameless..." As Jasper and Emily continued to voice their anger, Mrs. Sherwood raised her hand, gesturing for them to quiet down. Then, Mrs. Sherwood and Mr. Sherwood helped Edward to his feet, leaving him in astonishment and confusion. Mrs. Sherwood placed a hand on Edward's shoulder. "My son, I consider you my own, and I hope you know that. And of course, as you said, we wouldn't give you anything for free. I also hope that you will become an independent man rather than relying on money given to you by others..." Hearing Mrs. Sherwood's words, Edward felt a sense of revelation in his heart. It wasn't that they suddenly changed their minds; they discovered he had value
Edward's consciousness finally returned, though he had no idea how much time had passed. He wondered what had happened to him after he had blacked out. Did the people around him do something to him? Was he still alive?Slowly, he began to feel the weight of his body, starting with his hands and feet. He could sense the heaviness, dampness, and a dull ache. Edward's eyes fluttered open, and before him was a blur of white, the ceiling of a plasterboard room. Then, his hearing started to come back as well. He caught a whiff of antiseptic, the distinctive smell of a hospital.A hospital?At this moment, Edward fully realized he was in a hospital. His gaze felt like a foggy lens being cleared as he struggled to sit and take in his surroundings. It was a spacious room, resembling more of a hotel suite than a hospital room. There was only one bed in the room, and in the middle, there was a settee, a cabinet, a TV, and various medical equipment."This is... a VIP ward?" Edward questioned, his
