"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Isn't that man Joshua?" Someone roared when he saw that someone else was in this luxurious place. So, the few people standing together, he immediately turned their eyes in the direction the man was heading.One of them squeezed his hand firmly. "How can he be here? This is a party for the children of great officials and businessmen. He's just a person who doesn't have both parents."He remembered how arrogant Joshua was. They were friends in high school. Joshua was too calm, and people thought he was a cool guy, especially the girl that the guy liked who liked Joshua. Of course, as someone much bigger than Joshua, he didn't like that.Samuel looked at Ramon, and he smiled. "Don't you have good memories of Joshua?" The words that Samuel had just said had made Ramon angry so he hit him right on the shoulder, which made Samuel hold his hand firmly.He realized he had made Ramon angry. Now, his face was a little pale because of his friend's anger. He would g
"Charles, this man is an intruder. He just walked into this place and is a very bad person." Ramon spoke in front of Charles, he couldn't move freely, but soon he would get Joshua, and teach him a lesson for hurting him.Charles turned to look at Joshua, then looked at Ramon again. "You underestimate the security here?" the question made Ramon's eyes widen because this was a party for the children of officials and business people. Of course, the security was very high. Each of them showed an invitation card."It's not that, but something like that could happen. I know the orphan very well. He's not the son of a businessman or a politician!" Ramon emphasized his sentence; the people there immediately noticed Joshua questioning whether what Ramon said was true.Charles was their chairman, and the look in Charles' eyes was still cold. "You underestimated what I said? Then you're underestimating me." Charles' words made Ramon step back. He knew that conflict with Charles was not beneficia
It was a bright morning for some people; it was not brilliant for others. A woman with a haggard-looking face came in. Many things happened to her; she didn't get anything, and now she was in trouble.She exhaled her breath. "Emilia, why is your expression like that? You've got a wealthy boyfriend," she said casually, moving out of her seat a little to allow Amali to sit beside her."I'm done with Darren. It looks like I'll have to find another man." Emilia paused at the thought of such a thing, the sentence she had just said having caught her friend's attention.Now, Vana looked back at Emilia. "How could something like that happen? Isn't that Darren your target? You didn't go back to Joshua, did you?" Ivana emphasized her sentence; she looked at Ivana, who looked at her with a sad look. "You went back to Joshua?" She couldn't think clearly why her friend was acting like that."Yes, if I could do something like that. Unfortunately, I can't get it anymore." Emilia said in a frustrated
There was one nickname that was often saved on him since childhood when they often met. Joshua asked if he was the troublemaker.Joshua looked at Winter, who was smiling while hugging him, spoiling like that. And he didn't push away the woman who recognized herself as Joshua's lover.Then he turned his attention to Emilia. The woman's lips trembled at seeing a beautiful woman hugging Joshua. "That's impossible." Emilia spoke. She blinked her eyes a few times, seemingly wanting to believe that what she was seeing was an illusion.But this was a reality that she could not escape. Ivana, beside Emilia, was also surprised and spoke faster than she had. "How can you get a woman quickly like that? You apparently had me going with her from the start."Winter, who was there, spoke up. "Hey, the one who cheated on me was her. Why are you blaming Joshua? Joshua is a handsome man anyway, so it's very quick for him to get a replacement, and his replacement is me, a woman who is much more beautifu
"How expensive is that shirt? It's not more than four thousand dollars, right?" he spoke casually, folding his arms across his chest.Her arrogant demeanor could make others feel discouraged. But the woman was annoyed because she had worked hard to buy the clothes she was wearing now. And she could be the envy of her friends with the clothes she was wearing. That was all she could achieve at her level, without knowing something scary was ahead of her. So she raised her hand, pointing her index finger towards Winter and Joshua."Only 4000, you say?" she raised her right eyebrow, pointing at Winter straightly. "Even if it's a 4000 dollar shirt, I'm sure a cheap t-shirt-wearing person like you wouldn't be able to afford it."The woman was named Stella. Earlier, she had noticed Joshua, who was wearing the same clothes as Winter. "Even you guys can only afford a cheap couple's shirt like that, which is not more than 100 dollars."Then, she deliberately pulled her lover, who was beside her.
She was a superstar, a modern super named after her. People who cared about the clothes they wore and the trends definitely knew Winter's name. So when her face was exposed, the same people immediately looked at her and watched her hysterically."Isn't that Winter Rubilla? Why is she here? People were asking such things, watching Winter and the incident happening in front of them.Some people couldn't keep their mouths shut because they were so surprised by Winter's presence. "There's Winter here. She's that amazing supermodel! I have to ask her for an autograph right away!" Some people were so excited that they had prepared their cellphones to immediately ask for a portrait of the woman.Hearing such noise, of course, Stella became uneasy. It wasn't only them who knew about Winter, but also herself, and she envied Winter because that woman could get anything. Only Andy didn't know about Winter, but he knew that the woman before him was gorgeous.It made him jealous of the man beside
In Duton City, something was going on. The people who lived in the city were talking about almost the same thing. It was the birthday of one of the heads of a large family in the city.They had always admired the family and thought that the birthday party that would be held must be very extraordinary. People were eager to attend the party to show off. But it seemed that one person didn't care about the talk that the others were having.He was here because he had given up some work that his father had given him. He didn't want to do the work even though he was supervised by his servant. The Reason had a bit of business, and she ended up at a cafe in the centre of Duton.He exhaled, stirring the coffee in front of him repeatedly while listening to the repetitive conversations of those who arrived here."The head of the Hudson family has a birthday coming up, if I could be invited there I'd give an amazing gift." A woman spoke excitedly to her friend but got patted on the face."Don't be
Joshua, besides paying attention to him, also paid attention to the two people beside William. "I don't need it. Just give it to them." Joshua turned his attention back to the outside of the cafe. Several cars had just passed this place.William felt irritated. He then hit Joshua's table and leaned over. "You're sorry for saying such a thing."Jennifer and John didn't understand why William was acting like this. They both also looked at each other in panic if these two people were not even invited to the big family party. So Jennifer held William's arm gently.She spoke beside William. "William, don't mind him. We are the ones who will accompany you to the party." Jennifer couldn't let him miss such a fantastic opportunity.William ignored her. "Now, just beg me, and I'll take you there."The two people who went with William did feel very strange and were annoyed by this because they could not come to the party.He just wanted peace, not something noisy like this. Joshua watched Willi
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. "Maybe they will call you sir soon."Right after hearing Peter's words, from inside the operating room came the sound of a baby crying, which made Joshua instantly freeze in place with his retinas fully opened.He immediately looked at Peter. "Did you hear that sound?" he made sure it wasn't his hallucination.Peter nodded, and their gazes shifted to the open door of the operating room, where
"Hey, you," Joshua called out to the pair that had won first place in last year's rowing race. "I hope you guys won't give up on me. 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. Although they had initially underestimated the President and the First Lady, they immediately changed their minds when they heard what Joshua had just said."Did you hear our President clearly? 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. I will register myself and my wife immediately. I don't want to miss this golden opportunity," said a man in a casual suit."Ha? What did the President say? Triple? That means six million dollars? Well, I can't let this pri
Winter beamed a sweet smile as she realized the day she had been waiting for had arrived. Yes, today they were going on their honeymoon. Although Joshua's work was not yet fully completed, as an understanding husband, he prioritised his wife's pleasure first.Joshua took Winter on a honeymoon to the mountains. Where there is a lake that people often use for rowing competitions.When they arrived at the mountains, Winter felt very happy. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed the beautiful green scenery that could spoil her lovely eyes.“Are you happy?” Joshua asked, holding his wife's tiny waist.Winter quickly nodded her head. She was pleased. Winter couldn't even express how happy she was right now. After some time living inside the state palace as the President's wife, finally today, Winter could enjoy her days without any awkwardness.“I have an even more wonderful surprise,” said Joshua, pulling Winter's hand to follow him.Winter's laughter echoed. “Where are we going, da
Although Joshua and Winter's wedding was over, the news was not. As if there was no end to the news, video clips of the wedding of the number one person in the country of Phrea continued to fill the television screens.“They are indeed a lovely couple. One is handsome and authoritative, while the other is goddess-like, beautiful, and gentle. May God grant the leader of our country a child soon,” said a visitor who was staring in amazement at the television broadcast of Joshua and Winter's wedding.“I had intended to set my daughter up with our new President, but it turns out that Mr. Joshua already has a mate,” said another.“Shall I petition for our President to choose a concubine,” said the middle-aged woman, accompanied by laughter.“Excuse me.” A waitress asked permission to put the food on the table. Then her eyes fell on the television screen showing the wedding of the number one person in Phrea. “Joshua...” she hissed later.The middle-aged women sitting there immediately turne
Mr Joshua Winter and Miss Winter Hopes are known to be getting married today." The people at home or work that day turned their heads towards the big screen, now showing the city's hottest and happiest news."Everyone is, of course, looking forward to our leader's wedding day with the woman he loves so much." The reporter smiled formally at the camera and joined the people watching in their smiles.As everyone knows, Joshua Western is the newly inaugurated president who is loved by his people. People are now chuckling with twinkling eyes. The wedding will be covered live at their city's most prestigious landmark.Some spectators of the live event seemed to chuckle in disbelief. "They're really amazingly good together. I'd love to see them in person. But the trip to the city centre took so long."Almost all national TV programs covered happy events with smiling faces. Some were even reporters from overseas, willing to fly all the way so as not to miss the president's wedding.Winter le
The careful preparations made in less than two weeks were, in fact, quite good and produced good results. Joshua's inauguration as president of Thera was witnessed by his people officials and leaders from other countries.Joshua took the oath, was inaugurated, and officially became the head of the country. The mature man also uttered his vision and mission and promised the entire community that he would be a fair, honest and wise leader. Joshua would also help the people prosper and build a better country."Congratulations on your inauguration, sir." Joshua received greetings no matter how many times he received them during this day. All the people around him looked pleased, happy for what Joshua had achieved."How about I offer you some cooperation?" One of the prime ministers from a neighbouring country made an unexpected offer to Joshua. The government had previously not been interested in establishing a relationship with the other country, but when Joshua was sworn in as presiden
"You look handsome and authoritative, Master. It is no mistake that the people of this country want you as their leader," Peter said.It was already the second week after the political troubles that had shaken the kingdom of Eranda."I will raise your salary, Peter," Joshua laughed.They were in the car that would take them to the state Palace because today was a historic day for Joshua as he would be sworn in as president to replace the dethroned Wiliam."You are the best, Master," Peter said proudly with a smile full of happiness. "Congratulations, Master," he continued.The car they were traveling in had almost reached the state Palace. However, the car's pace had to be slowed down because, outside the state Palace, there were already many people crowding around. They certainly couldn't wait to witness Joshua's inauguration."Long live, Master Joshua!""Mr. Joshua is our president!""Mr. Joshua is the savior of the people!""Long live Mr. Joshua!""Welcome the new president of ther
The political situation in Phrea was heating up. Residents have seen recordings of the conversations of those with high status. 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. As Eranda's nobles wanted, they believed Joshua would replace President William to lead Phrea."Our president turned out to be a cold-blooded killer. How could he say such horrible things? 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. Only Mr. Joshua is capable of leading our country. If Mr. Joshua can reveal the dark case that the political elites have covered up, I believe Mr.
"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. Joshua took a sip of the tea and returned it to the waiter."Give me the tablet," Joshua said, asking for his electronic device."I'm sure you'll like today's hot news, Master." The waiter said confidently as he handed over the 14-inch flat object.
