When he came face to face with a man he didn't know, and he was bold enough to bid on something he thought was lame for such a high price, it appealed to him. He was playing his part to make the situation inside the auction house more extraordinary, also wanting to see how far the man's stupidity would go.

He had a lot of money. If, for example, he could not spur the foolish behavior of the man who was considered funny not to go well, he could pay for it. Still, it turned out that the man was really out of his mind, and when he found out the identity of the woman beside him, he understood that the one who issued the money was Winter.

"You don't know because you don't have good eyes to judge good things." with a distance of only fifty centimeters, he spoke in a calm and thoroughly unpleasant voice. "You must be at the auction house often to know what's good."

    The helicopter had landed in the Western family's spacious courtyard. The servants immediately helped their master. As Michael slowly approached, he looked at Joshua, who was also looking at him.Michael's eyes moved as soon as he saw the black crate. He knew it was his wife, so he was impatient to see her now."I've found Mom and Dad," Joshua spoke in a low voice. His father nodded, but his eyes were still on the black chest.They both walked closer to the chest and as they got closer, Joshua could see the longing in his father's eyes."Open it," he ordered the people there to open the chest, and that's when Michael could see the face of the woman he missed so much.Tears flowing from his eyes, he wept bitterly there.

It coincided with the big celebrations usually held at the end of the year.These few months, she had been busy cleaning up with the Garner family, although not everything could be done. That's why she didn't show up for a few months, even though her friends contacted her.Now that she appeared together with Winter, the people who saw their arrival had their eyes blinking slowly. They really couldn't believe this. "Isn't it rumored that Miss Winter and that guy have broken up?"A man couldn't believe what he saw himself, so he needed to confirm what he saw and heard to the friend beside him.His friend was annoying as hell. "That's what I heard because that man isn't showing his form. People are

    Charles was getting attached to her. He looked her up and down and smiled faintly. "You are Miss Winter?" his words made Winter quite surprised, but she was able to control herself well."Certainly, this is the first time we meet." His gaze was quite deep as he watched Charles, and he turned out to be a little cheeky with Winter as his hand moved directly to hold Winter's cheek. She noticed the movement of his hand, but she didn't immediately dismiss the damn man."I suggest that if you choose a much greater man, he has no abilities, right?" Carilah did not deliberately glance at Joshua. That thin smile was just to compare herself and Joshua, who she thought was much better than her.Charles did not expect Joshua to be brave enough to approach them and then reply to the words said by Charles. "Ah, Are you forgetting that I am the best graduate of a famous university?" Charles then nodded his head. He continued to watch Joshua."But in the real world, it's completely useless." Remarks

    Everyone was watching the race going on between the two of them. What they didn't expect was Joshua's hand speed when shooting. He was ahead of Charles, who they thought would win. Their expressions looked uncomfortable about it.The flying disk had broken, and Winter held his hand tightly. Although she trusted Joshua, she hoped this would go well."This is just the beginning."Charles' gaze was calm, he watched Joshua and the flying discs fired several times. He took action by shooting two discs while Joshua shot one."See what I said. It's only because of Mr. Charles' kindness that he could shoot for the first time." a man smiled, and the surroundings became noisier."Right, how could he beat someone accustomed to it? Unlike common people like him, we from the upper class have been accustomed to using shots." they smiled, feeling proud. Shooting is known as a rich man's sport because of its high cost.Charles felt calmer than before. He was confident that he would win this gamble to

    The sound of papers being opened was repeatedly heard in the room. There was only one person who was in the room. He was sitting in his chair and was so focused on the document in his hand that his eyes were moving following the reading he was doing. Then, his hand would scratch the pen he was holding.He looked like he couldn't be bothered by anyone, then a knock could be heard. Without stopping what he was doing, he spoke. "Come in."After that, a man came in, his expression calm. He was being professional in Joshua's presence. Peter, who had approached and stood up straight, immediately reported what he wanted to say. "Master Joshua, three people have been caught."Joshua nodded, his hands still busy with the documents he was holding. The three people were trying to find out information about Joshua. Many people were doing that. And they were all professionals. Joshua knew that Charles had ordered the person.From the attitude and behavior of Charles, who asked about his identity,

    Winter waved her hand gently as her fans greeted her. She gave them a beautiful smile, and then she posed.There were a lot of cameras on her. They were eager to take pictures. After doing such things, she walked back towards her partner. There, she saw Charles Garner, who had a dispute with them.Winter ignored him for a while because she didn't want to do something that would invite curiosity rather than that. She busied herself with talking to people from the film and entertainment departments."What is he going to do? Answer saying that he's coming here." Winter spoke in her heart. She moved her hand, holding the glass with an uneasy feeling.She thought it was unnecessary. It would make the situation even more suspicious or dangerous for them. Especially what Winter was most worried about was Joshua.Then she busied herself looking at the film festival that was here, everything looked amazing and mesmerizing. An annual event that was indeed so attractive to people.After doing so

    His car had just stopped. He got in and was honored by the servants there. He was also turning the car key in his hand with a smiling face. A servant bowed before him. "It seems you had a very pleasant evening, Mr. Charles."The man interrupted the head. He gave the keys he was holding earlier to his servant named Richard. He took a deep breath before he spoke. "It was a pleasant evening because, as speculation would have it, it seems to have a high degree of accuracy." Her tone came alive quite strongly when she said such things.Richard smiled. "Then how about we move immediately, master?" he too was excited. Whatever excited his master, he would do. After all, they did have a big goal.After all this time of hiding and acting as if they were a cowardly family or a family that had no value or a family that could not become a bigger family, now came the payback time.

    Joshua stared frantically, worry engulfing him as he paced back and forth in front of the delivery room. He had waited a long time, but labour was taking longer than expected. She had never been this nervous in her entire life, but right now, she couldn't control herself and stay calm.Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, made worse by her heavy breathing. "Why are they taking so long? What exactly are they doing?" He knew that inside, people were busy assisting Winter's labour.Peter, who had also just arrived there about 45 minutes ago with Joshua, watched his boss anxiously but remained calm.

Let's compete fairly," Joshua continued.The pair nodded their heads in unison. They seemed optimistic that they would win this match. Especially when they heard about the fantastic prize offered by the President.The local people who had been gossiping were amazed.

He said three times. Wow, we can be rich in the blink of an eye," said a man with a bald head."I didn't expect our President to be able to diffuse and calm the situation like that.

Those who had problems with Western's family could not move.The number of people supporting Joshua is increasing, and his stock is also growing.

The ministers under him were the same. They have no conscience at all," said one of the people.The people were gathering. They seem to be in a group and are endlessly discussing this issue. Many of them were supportive of Joshua, but some were restraining."We must give full voting rights so that Lord Joshua can immediately take Wiliam's place," said another."I will also do the same.

    "Master, you've been in there too long."Joshua opened his eyes when he heard the servant's voice from outside. The man who was soaking in the warm water in the bathtub sighed heavily. Joshua got up. He then washed his burly body and covered it with his usual white bathrobe.Joshua came out of the bathroom, his hair still half-dry, making beads of water drip down his head. The maid quickly handed him a small towel and helped Joshua to dry his hair."Have you prepared everything I asked for?" Joshua asked."That's it, Master."Joshua took over the small towel. He then walked to a sofa directly facing the glass wall that showed the beauty of the outside world.When Joshua was seated on the sofa, the waiter quickly handed him a cup of hot tea.
