Olivia felt a surge of anger welling up in her chest. She glared sharply at Asher, the young man who had ruined the party's atmosphere with his audacity. Her father, Cody Halbert, even had to bow his head and plead for the collaboration between their companies not to be canceled.A victorious smile adorned Asher's face. He enjoyed seeing Olivia's angry and upset expression and Cody's nervousness as he tried to explain the similarity between the two designs. The tension escalated when Olivia tore up the Rudwick company's design license letter and threw it right in front of Asher. Cody immediately grabbed Olivia's arm, giving her a warning signal.Kailos stepped forward to shield Asher, boldly and sharply staring at Olivia. "How dare a spoiled girl like you behave so rudely?!"Olivia snapped, displeased with Kailos' attitude. "How dare you stare at me like that! Do you even know who I am, huh?"Asher's laughter broke out, drawing the guests' attention. The atmosphere grew quieter, and t
The party was truly in chaos. The guests who were supposed to enjoy the luxury of the Rustyhoze Hotel were busy gossiping about Asher, the legitimate heir of the Dixon company. A victorious smile played on Asher's lips as he caught sight of Olivia's shocked and angry face. Darren also seemed unable to accept the fact that Asher was the heir to the Dixon company.Cody bowed deeply in regret, bending before Asher. "As the host of this event, I apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. Asher Dixon. And I also apologize for my daughter's rude behavior."Olivia's and Darren's eyes widened in disbelief. Bowing like this meant that Asher's social status was far higher than theirs."I indeed feel uncomfortable, Mr. Halbert. I feel insulted by the rude behavior of your daughter and your future son-in-law. It seems they need an education in manners at home," said Asher coldly, looking at Olivia with meaningful eyes."Hey, Asher! Watch yo—" Olivia tried to retort, but Cody cut her off quickly. "Olivi
After discussing the licensing and authenticity of the designs, Asher confidently left the party. He had successfully made Olivia and Darren curse in frustration behind him, while Cody looked desperate amid the guests' skeptical and suspicious whispers.Asher stepped out of the party hall, radiating a captivating charismatic aura. In the hotel lobby, he observed a calmer and more peaceful atmosphere, far from the commotion of the party. As he headed towards the exit, his eyes fell upon a woman with long, curly black hair, dressed in work attire paired with a knee-length skirt. Her face looked serious and focused as if something was troubling her.The woman was Alicia Pervaz, a young executive who had recently encountered difficulties. However, Asher did not know her. Alicia, on the other hand, immediately recognized the handsome man approaching her. It was Asher Dixon, the heir to the Dixon company, often featured in the news.Alicia stood by the roadside, struggling with something in
The executives began whispering about Asher's decision to terminate the contract with Alexander and the commotion at Cody Halbert's company party. A sudden meeting was called, requiring Aberon Dixon to attend and listen to their complaints.The meeting room was filled with tension. The executives and directors appeared restless, exchanging glances and whispers. Asher sat at the end of the table, calm and unshakeable, waiting for his turn to speak. Aberon Dixon, with his unyielding authority, sat in the middle, observing the heated atmosphere.A senior executive, Mr. Thompson, started with a firm tone, "Asher's decision to end the collaboration with Alexander has had a significant impact on our business relationship. Moreover, the commotion at Halbert's party has called our reputation into question."Several other executives nodded in agreement, their voices overlapping, reflecting dissatisfaction. Asher listened attentively, his face remaining calm, but his eyes radiating strong convi
After finishing the partnership discussion with Alicia, Asher escorted her to the front of the building where Alicia's car was parked. They chatted briefly in front of the car before Alicia got in and drove away. Asher waved politely as the car moved off, then turned around, ready to head back to the office.However, his steps abruptly halted as Olivia suddenly appeared before him. Her face looked cheerful, but Asher stared at her with a barely concealed expression of disgust. Despite Olivia's attempts to flirt with her sweet smile, Asher simply looked at her coldly without a word.Olivia, accustomed to getting attention and admiration from men, felt surprised and annoyed by Asher's reaction. Yet, Asher remained unresponsive, making the situation increasingly awkward between them.Olivia felt irritated by Asher's indifferent response. Without hesitation, she tried to grab Asher's arm. However, Asher harshly brushed her off.Olivia stood before Asher, trying to contain her tumultuous e
The encounter with Olivia left a tumult of emotions in mind. A faint smile was etched on Asher's lips, and a sense of satisfaction emanated from his gaze. He had managed to repay the pain that once haunted him from that treacherous woman. However, there were no signs of anger or resentment left, only a cold satisfaction emanating from Asher's every move.Asher's firm steps echoed down the hallway until he entered his office. He didn't immediately sit in his grand chair but stood by the large window that offered a view of the city.Sunlight streamed into the room, adding a shimmer to his elegant black suit. He then muttered, "The traitors are starting to get restless."The door was knocked on three times, then slowly opened, and Kailos entered, his face serious. "Sir, I need to inform you of something. Alexander's company is pressing for a contract with Ezoc Company again," said Kailos, watching Asher warily. "And I found out that Darren is behind all this."Asher listened calmly, witho
Asher sighed heavily after arriving at the mansion. He lay down on the soft bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. He was contemplating his next plan to avenge the pain and prove that he was not someone to be trampled upon.A knock on the door made Asher get up and open the large door. Standing at the door was Aberon, smiling slightly. The middle-aged man inquired about his well-being and then invited him to his private study.Upon arriving at Aberon's study, Asher sat next to his father, waiting to hear what the middle-aged man wanted to convey. The room was filled with thick books and antique decorations, reflecting Aberon Dixon's authority and power. Behind his large desk, Aberon appeared powerful and wise, though his eyes showed a hint of fatigue.Aberon pulled out a black-covered document and laid it on the table. Then he said, "Establish a partnership with Pervaz Corporation. I know you can be relied upon for investing or buying shares there."Asher furrowed his brow as he read the
Upon arriving at the office, Asher immediately held an impromptu meeting with the directors and the collaborating company for the construction of the Celestial Haven hotel. The meeting lasted quite a while due to debates over furniture choices.After the meeting about hotel management, Asher had an appointment with Rudwick Company, represented by Heinry Rudwick. Their meeting took place in Asher's elegant and bright office.Asher sat behind his desk with documents open in front of him, including the furniture design license documents from Rudwick Company. He carefully examined the various designs offered, comparing features and styles that aligned with his hotel's project vision.Kailos, who sat next to him, provided valuable input. They had a lengthy discussion about the designs that would become part of the hotel's interior concept."We are very interested in more modern designs for the reception area and common spaces," Asher said, looking directly at Heinry Rudwick. "However, we a
