"Yes, Jack. You have to marry her to save her reputation. You ... couldn't possibly let that girl have a bad reputation just because it was reported that she was changing men, right?" Hugh said bluntly. Jack bit his lips in confusion. Oh, it's not because he doesn't like the girl. He had actually admitted that he really, really liked Annelisse Goldman. However, if he were required to marry the girl, he did not know how to respond. "Grandpa, getting married is not an easy matter. And ... you know I'm only 20 years old. Isn't that too young to be thinking about marriage?" Jack asked in a tone so low that his grandfather wouldn't be offended by it. Hugh Morland shook his head, "Jack, you think wrong. What I mean is that you really have to marry that girl but in time it doesn't have to be in time. You could get married in 2 years or 3 years but ... you have to be engaged to her first to save good name." Jack bit his own teeth. This wasn't because he didn't like his grandfather'
Tobias frowned in disgust, "What did you say? You called me by my nickname?" Lily fell silent because she was shocked by the look that she thought really hurt her heart. Tobias, who used to admire her beauty and look at her with love, was now no longer there. Currently, she was only considered an insignificant piece of trash to Tobias and he even seemed to want to be thrown away by the young man. "Hey, Lily. You don't have the right to call me by that name anymore. Don't make me disgusted because I was related to you," Tobias said, tapping his shoulder. Lily tried to strengthen her heart and now tried to dare to look at the young man who had left her. "If you're really disgusted with me, why are you still bothering me by taking my cell phone?" Lily said with her chin raised as if she still had some honor in front of Tobias. Tobias laughed loudly but more like a mocking laugh in response to Lili's words, "Hey, I didn't take your cell phone because I still like you. Oh, Lily.
Annelisse saw the anger written on Tobias Gray's face. However, she really didn't care because Tobias insulted her first. Tobias was also the one who always bothered her even though she had tried to stay away from the young man. "You ... how good is that poor young man that you are still defending him? Hey, Lily. Don't you remember what you said before?" Tobias smiled crookedly and looked at the girl with a disdainful look. Lily was still trying to stop herself from exploding again so she just said again, "I'm done with you and don't want to talk to you anymore so now give me my cell phone back. I want to go home now." Tobias had no intention of listening to Lily's words and instead he said again, "You said your boyfriend was too poor and couldn't even afford to buy you food at a middle class restaurant. Uh, is that the kind of guy you're defending?" "Is it appropriate for a man who doesn't even have money to buy food for his girlfriend to still be defended?" Tobias added moc
Raymond Gray was really annoyed at having a single heir who was too lazy to keep up with the big news. Growling angrily, he said, "Open your phone right now and take a look at the Morland Group's web portal." "Morland Group? What's with that company again, Dad?" Tobias looked confused at his father. Before Raymond Gray could give an answer, Tobias was already saying, "I've had it with that company. We tried to work together in other fields but they never responded to our new proposal." "Then why did you ask me to look at the news on their website, Dad?" Tobias said lazily. Annoyed that his pampered only son was so stupid, he tried to be patient and said once again, "Read the news yourself and we'll talk about it over dinner." Raymond said nothing more and immediately left his son who looked both confused and annoyed. Instead of immediately opening his phone and searching for the website portal, Tobias put it off and put his phone back in his pocket before he went upstairs. When
Tobias looked at his parents in turn and he knew now that the burden was on him.Hm, what can I do as their only child? Tobias thought to himself."Yes, Mom. I will approach him for the sake of our company," Tobias nodded in agreement as he had no other choice.Claudia smiled broadly at her son, "That's a mom's boy.""You are a true descendant of the Gray family." Raymond was relieved that his son wanted to think about their company."After all, you'll be graduating from university soon. It's about time that you learn more seriously about our company's business," Raymond added.Claudia picked up her small spoon again and began to continue eating her dessert.Tobias actually had no appetite but he couldn't possibly leave the dining room right away because his parents wouldn't allow it.So, he forced himself to keep eating.Raymond then said again, "Tomorrow is the day when he will reveal the identity, so what are you going to do tomorrow?"Tobias seemed to be able to read what his fathe
''Oh, Eric. You don't need to prepare anything. Just go there and see him and talk to him." Annelisse gave her brother a bored look. Eric shook his head disapprovingly, "There's no way I'm going to see him without bringing anything. Are you out of your mind?" Annelisse sighed softly, "Brother, I know Jack very well. He is not one to accept gifts. He'll even think you're bribing him if you come with a gift." Eric looked indecisive, but Mary quickly said, "Listen to your sister's advice. She would know better what Jack wants." Vincent also nodded in agreement, "I also judge that the young man is not a young man who thirsts for luxury. Just tell him your intentions sincerely, he will surely understand." Eric also looked at his family members one by one and finally decided, "Alright, I will come there without bringing anything." "That's a good decision, my handsome brother," Annelisse responded with a smile. The next morning, at the Morland home, Jack woke up earlier than usual. The
It's not that Jack didn't want to answer it, it's just that it's a question that he didn't feel like it needed answering so Jack chose to ignore it. Unfortunately, the journalist didn't accept being ignored. He tried to dart forward by pushing the man in front of him. As a result of the actions of the man with thick glasses, several people were seen almost falling. However, the bodyguards and security were so quick to handle it that the incident did not become a riot. Jack was led back inside and escorted by so many bodyguards with George always beside him. Meanwhile, the reporters couldn't stop taking pictures and videos of the sole heir who had impressed so many people with his charisma. Gideon Miles, who had arrived at Morland Group first, immediately approached Jack and bowed respectfully before walking to Jack's right. "Wow! So handsome!" "How can he still be that young?" "Oh, shit. He's too handsome!" a female employee cursed in fascination. The friend said, "Hey, stop t
But Eve did not answer Melysa's words. She was simply too shocked to think. "Eve, what should we do? What if we get fired?" Melysa wailed. The woman was already looking pale with fear. "Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have dared to bother him. What have I done?" Melysa, who was already limping, felt her body collapse until she was sitting on the floor. Some people didn't seem to care, but some of her colleagues from the general department seemed to understand what was happening to Melysa. This was because they were just as concerned as Melysa. After all, whoever had bothered Jack in the past must be feeling very chaotic and restless right now. Melysa shook her head and smacked her own mouth, "You are an idiot, Melysa. How could you say such horrible things?" She sighed sadly and began to cry quietly, as if she already felt that she was really going to lose the job she so desperately needed. Eve, who had begun to accept the situation, said, "Now I understand why Mr. Foster defen
However, in reality Jack Morland let Eric Goldman into Alex Blake's house.He also ordered his personal bodyguard to arrange that no CCTV cameras would capture Eric's movements.As soon as Eric entered the secret area, he immediately conveyed his sister's anxiety.The young man also said his idea and it was very well received by Jack Morland."Jack, I know it might be very dangerous but it would be much better if you showed up in the near future at the signing of a major collaboration that Gideon Miles will soon be doing," Eric said.Alex quickly responded, "I'd like that too since we have absolutely no idea what's really in Gideon Miles' brain."Jack Morland seemed to be in serious thought but after he deliberated he finally decided to say, "Well, I guess I can't wait any longer to punish the man who dared to kill my grandfather."Eric nodded with relief and responded, "My family is ready to help you fully and never doubt us if you need other help."Jack nodded and then said quietly,
Eric was eager to find the car but when he remembered that he had something much more important to do, he chose to let the car go.He then ordered, "Well, we'd better go straight to lawyer Jack Morland's house."Ray and Denis quickly followed suit and carried out their young master's orders. Just a few minutes later they arrived at a house that appeared to have been left unguarded by bodyguards. Ray looked at the house suspiciously while Denis, who already knew that people were hiding in a room, immediately asked the young master, "Young Master, what should we do now?"Eric remembered his brother's message and immediately waited until the sun had set. "Are you sure we should wait here until it gets dark, Young Master?" Ray asked very cautiously. "Yes, we have to be more careful because if we make a mistake we might not be able to find them. And ... what's even worse is that we could let Gideon Miles know where they're hiding," Eric explained and it was understood by his two bodygu
However, before they had a chance to discuss the matter further they were surprised by the arrival of the two main bodyguards whose duty it was to always guard Gideon Miles wherever he was.They of course chose to immediately shut their mouths so as not to make the bodyguards suspicious. One of them looked suspiciously at the servants and other bodyguards who had suddenly fallen silent. "Hey, what's going on here? Why are you all acting weird?" Sean, the 30-something year old bodyguard asked. One of the brave servants replied, "Nothing important is going on here, sir. It's just that we were surprised by the arrival of the two main bodyguards of Mr. Miles.""Didn't you two accompany Mr. Miles all the way down to this floor?" the waiter asked trying to remain calm. Sean snorted and then he waved his hand, "Never mind, it's because we were resting for a while before we escorted Mr. Miles to go check on something."Of course it actually made the bodyguards and servants curious especia
"That is indeed the case, Mr. Miles. Young Master Garric didn't look angry at all," the gatekeeper explained of the Morland house once again. He didn't hide anything and explain it clearly in order to make Gideon understand the situation. He tried to not to make Gideon feel that he didn't do his job. Gideon still had a hard time believing that but when he asked one of the guards to show him the CCTV footage at the main gate, the man finally believed it. It was so clear in the CCTV footage that Garric Morland did not even get out of the car. Garric was only in his car and asked his driver to meet the gate guard to ask for permission to enter. That only lasted for a few minutes so Gideon was even more astonished by the change that was so obvious to his eyes. After the guards left his room, Gideon thought more seriously. "What really happened to that young man? Does he really not want the Morland family fortune anymore? But, how could that be? He's not a young man who
Annelisse Goldman thought for a moment but when she considered her elder brother's idea, she finally tried to accept it. She hoped what she decided wouldn't make her regrets anything."Then, how are you going to get there?" Annelisse asked her brother. Eric smiled and replied, "You don't have to think about it and you just have to wait for the results."Annelisse nodded her head and tried to completely leave the matter to her brother. She trusted her brother so much and she hoped he could warn Jack about the dangerous Gideon Miles. Meanwhile, Garric Morland had just discussed Jack's problem with his father and then he chose to go to the Morland family home.He thought the only way to get Gideon to confess about what he had done was to press him further and harass him. Because, he had mobilised so many bodyguards to search for Jack's whereabouts but he still couldn't find his cousin's whereabouts. He was not desperate but he just wanted to try to take one of the easiest ways by a
Jack Morland quickly calmed the girl down by saying, "Anne, you don't have to worry about this."Annelisse Goldman widened her eyes when she heard Jack say that, "Jack, are you serious? You really don't suspect them at all?"Jack shook his head and he stopped walking and smiled at the girl, "Anne, I knew them long before they knew my true identity. I know their characters well and of course I can easily trust them."Jack stopped talking for a moment and then continued, "If the two of them were indeed unfaithful to me, they would have done something like this long before my grandfather died. In fact, I would have needed to force them to move to the positions they got.""You know ... they didn't even want to do it but because I persuaded them, they finally did. With something like this, I can tell right away that they might need a much higher position but they wouldn't want to get it the wrong way round," Jack explained at length about his argument. Annelisse couldn't help but be reli
Gideon smiled widely when he heard Alex's words. "You're right. Right now I'm the only person he can trust so I know all the decisions Young Master Morland has made must have been well thought out," Gideon argued and laughed.George could hardly bear to be in that room so he gave Alex the code for them to leave the office immediately. However, before that could happen Alex said, "Mr. Miles, before I leave I would like to ask you something."Gideon, who was in a good mood, nodded, "Yes, just say the word, Mr. Blake.""The Young Master wants you to organise a meeting where you will preside over the meeting so that all the important officials in this company know about the order given by Young Master Morland. Can you do it, Mr. Miles?" Alex asked carefully as this was the last order from the young master before they would actually face the master plan of their young master. "Yes, you don't need to worry about it at all. It's easy to do and I will do it in the near future," Gideon quic
As had evidently been expected by their young master, Gideon Miles did ask about the young master's whereabouts. With great calm and composure, George again replied, "I apologise to you, Mr. Miles. For this matter I cannot say."Gideon Miles looked both disappointed and very upset but the man tried to keep a friendly smile on his face and it looked like a forced one. Alex Blake was extremely happy that he managed to make the man upset. "Gideon, you don't need to feel upset because after all this is what Young Master Morland wanted. Wouldn't you also be happy if the young master could win himself back and then be able to return to this company again with a healed mentality?" Alex asked the man with a smile. Gideon chuckled when he heard that and immediately responded, "Oh, of course. I would be happiest if young Master Morland could return to his old self and start running the company as instructed by Master Hugh."Alex was truly amazed and appreciated the acting shown by Gideon Mi
Richard Foster confidently shook his head, "Young Master Morland, even if I could get a much better position than what I have now, I would never be able to stand my ground when I got it the wrong way round."He sighed and continued, "I've gone through so much and fought so hard to get to the position I'm in now, I'm not going to throw away my efforts that I've worked so hard for to get an instant position.""I can never be proud of that," Richard ended his explanation and it made Jack smile at the middle-aged man. He was so relieved to hear that and he even thought that he never regretted choosing the general division back then. "Thank you for being loyal to my family and ... not taking advantage of my difficult position," Jack said quietly to the middle-aged man. They talked about a few things next and finally Jack said to Richard, "If I need your help, would you be willing to help me?""Of course, Young Master. Whatever you need and want, I will definitely try to do it for you,"
