Derek’s shoulders stiffened, but he didn’t respond. He couldn't. His mind was racing, searching for a way out. Ignoring his father’s commanding tone, Derek hurried toward the door, his steps quick and unsteady, as if the faster he moved, the less real the situation would become.Mr. Hartley, his patience wearing thin, clenched his fists as he watched Derek flee. “Coward,” he muttered under his breath, his disappointment deepening. Mrs. Hartley shook her head, tears of frustration welling in her eyes as the full extent of Derek's deceit settled into their hearts.As Derek slipped out of the hall, his once-confident persona was left in tatters behind him. His world had collapsed, and now, there was nowhere to run from the truth.As Lily stepped down from the stage, her gaze immediately locked onto her parents. The disappointment in their eyes was unmistakable—deep and cutting, a reflection of their shame. They had believed Derek’s lies over their own daughter, allowing his deceit to

They stuttered through their apology, struggling with the shame of how they had treated him with such contempt.Meanwhile, Robert waved his hand with a casual smile. “It’s nothing,” he said, his voice calm and dismissive. His words only fueled their irritation. In their minds, this "loser" now felt important, like he was on some higher ground. Their pride bristled at the thought, but they remained silent, hiding their disdain.Lily, however, felt nothing but gratitude. Her heart swelled as she thanked Robert again, her voice soft yet filled with genuine appreciation. He had stood by her through everything, and now, they were both vindicated. When the Hartleys finally left the premises and returned home, they expected a quiet night to absorb all that had unfolded. But to their shock and dismay, they were met with an unexpected sight as they entered the house.Derek was sitting nervously on the couch, his face pale and his hands fidgeting in his lap. Guilt washed over him like a tide

After what had happened and having get to recover the contract, Lily’s parents reluctantly agreed to the wedding not because of love but they wanted to witness the humiliation of lily and Robert.After they've repeatedly warned her not to marry Robert because they believed he doesn't have a family and they believe Jonathan is a better option. Robert and Lily spelled out a date for his wedding. For Robert, he needed Lily by himself for the next phase of life he was about to take as the President of the Glidson Empire.Madam President wanted her son's wedding to be the grandest of it all; that would be a medium to officially announce him as president of the Empire. The initial announcement wasn't out to the world yet; it was just within the company's shareholders and important position within the group.Meanwhile, Lily's father objected to the marriage at the last minute, while his family kept humilating Robert for having no family.The months leading up to the wedding were fraught wi

Robert stepped inside, unbothered by her remark. The marble floors of the grand entrance hall gleamed under the chandelier’s light, but there was nothing warm or welcoming about the space. It felt cold, just like the reception he was getting.Before he could respond, Mr. Hartley appeared from another room, his presence commanding but hostile. He stopped at the threshold, eyeing Robert with disdain. “Ah, the groom-to-be,” he said with a smirk. “Come to check if everything’s falling apart yet?”Robert met his gaze without flinching. “No. I came to see Lily and ensure everything is on track.”Mr. Hartley laughed bitterly. “On track? The only thing on track here is your impending humiliation. You really think this wedding of yours is going to be anything but a disaster? It’s laughable. You’re setting yourself up to fail, Robert.”Mrs. Hartley crossed her arms, leaning against the polished banister, her lips curling in contempt. “You might be fooling Lily with this charade, but not us. We

Mrs. Hartley, too, was taken aback, but she quickly steeled herself. “It’s all for show. Let them throw their money around. They’re overcompensating for something—mark my words.”But as the guests arrived, each one more prestigious than the next, it became evident that this was no ordinary affair. The world’s elite had gathered to celebrate the union of Robert and Lily, many of them personal acquaintances of Madam President herself. The air buzzed with excitement and whispers of admiration for the grandeur of it all. The Hartleys, standing in the midst of such opulence, began to feel out of place, but they refused to let it show.Inside, the palace had been transformed into a paradise of gold, ivory, and deep crimson. Chandeliers were draped in flowers—roses from Ecuador, peonies from Japan, and rare orchids flown in from Thailand. The tables, set with gold-plated dinnerware, sparkled under the soft candlelight. It was the epitome of luxury, every detail a reminder of the sheer weal

"For years, I have led the Glidson Empire with pride," Madam President continued, "and today, I pass on that responsibility to someone I trust beyond measure. Someone who has proven, time and again, that he has the strength, the vision, and the dedication to take this empire into the future."A murmur spread through the crowd, anticipation growing by the second."And so," she said with a flourish, "it is my great honor to officially announce that, as of this moment, Robert is the new President of the Glidson Empire."Gasps erupted from the crowd. The room was momentarily frozen in shock. For a few seconds, no one knew how to react. Robert, standing at the front of the room, remained composed, though a flicker of satisfaction crossed his face. This was the moment he had been waiting for—his true unveiling to the world.Then, like a wave, applause surged through the ballroom. Guests rose to their feet once again, this time with a mixture of awe and admiration. Robert, the man they had

Mr Hartley glanced over at Jonathan, whose face was frozen in disbelief, his usual cocky attitude crumbling beneath the weight of the grandeur surrounding him. Meanwhile, Robert’s lips twitched into a slight, almost imperceptible smile. Jonathan had always looked down on him, thinking he was better, richer, more successful, more deserving of Lily. Now, Jonathan was just another guest, watching from the sidelines, knowing full well that he could never compete with the spectacle Robert had created.As the ceremony went on, Robert kept his composure, but every now and then, he would lock eyes with Lily’s parents. Their regret was written all over their faces, but Robert remained gracious. He had nothing to prove to them anymore. Their earlier insults, their dismissal of him as a nobody—it was all irrelevant now.Robert’s thoughts were calm, but focused. This is just the beginning, he thought as he gently squeezed Lily’s hand. He knew there was more to come—more success, more surprises

Now, they had to face the reality that they had not only lost control of their daughter but also their place in the future that was unfolding before them."That should’ve been Jonathan," Mrs. Hartley whispered bitterly, glancing toward their former suitor, who looked equally devastated by the night's turn of events.Robert, catching the whisper on his way out, gave a brief, almost imperceptible smirk before turning back to Lily. In that moment, as the final guests departed, he whispered to her, “I told you, they’d regret it.”As the wedding ceremony concluded and it was time for the grand photographs, the elites and dignitaries in attendance lined up to capture the moment. The air was thick with prestige, and photographers scrambled to get the perfect shots of the powerful figures who had gathered. The lights of high-end cameras flashed incessantly, creating a sea of glitter and glamor.Robert and Lily, standing at the center of it all, exuded a magnetic elegance. The world's most ex
