William wanted to lunge at Joshua and then go upstairs to tear his mouth all sassy. But he couldn't do anything like that, still holding himself by clenching his hands firmly.

Joshua knew about it, and he ignored it.

People started congratulating the head of the Hudson family, and they brought gifts to the head of the family. William did the same. He came up to the stage and got a small statue made of gold and gems.

"Mr Freud Hudson, I am William Haris. I wish the head of the Hudson family a happy birthday. And this is a gift from me." He said sweetly and presented the gift. People, of course, were commenting on what he had given.

William did not let this momentum get to him, and he liked that people were paying attention to him, which could make them want to work with him. "Our families have been working together, and of course, this is a gift that can't even beat your presence," he said with a smile, happy that this way he had managed to impress people.

It was just that someone appe

    On the outside, that person looked agitated by what he had just gotten; what had happened to him was completely unexpected. How could he be unlucky like this in just a short time?It didn't seem like he had done anything wrong, and he knew for sure about Joshua not having anything."William, that old man seems to be playing a trick on you. He must not like you to be acting like this." Jennifer spoke. She felt the cold outside since they didn't get into the car, and the people inside the building seemed to like the party.William looked at her. "Yes, I'm afraid so. It doesn't make sense if she's an honoured guest. He shouldn't have let go of this cooperation with me." William was looking for justification. Inside his head, he felt very dizzy to tell this to his parents."How about we go in again, William? We have to explain this properly." John had held William's hand; he was staring at him intently. It had angered the choice to push his hand away roughly.He pressed his forehead toget

    "I told you it wasn't me, and I'm not a worker here." Joshua stood stoically, watching the man in front of him. The man's emotions were too overwhelming. He could feel it.The man touched his forehead, there was an overwhelming headache, and he gave a small grin. "Never mind, we've been friends for a long time, and I know how hard it is for you to escape that poverty."Finally, he lifted his head, looking at Joshua. "There's no need for you to be invited here at all, so don't pretend that you're a guest and not working. Working under me is not a bad thing. For now, you better replace what you broke first. If you don't have money, you can borrow money from me, but there are conditions."He looked Joshua up and down. "The conditions, of course, are that you must call me Master, and you must obey everything I say so that you can pay for the property you damaged. They are costly. One broken bulb costs us 500 dollars."Joshua noticed the broken bulb on the floor. The woman who broke it sti

    He felt a strong pressure dealing with the man she thought she knew. Just staring at each other made his now feel astonished. There were the worst thoughts in his mind as he thought about Joshua's identity.Who exactly was this man?"I am Joshua, and now get out of my way," Joshua said briefly, and the man in front of him did as Joshua told him. He immediately stepped aside without being able to say anything from his mouth.The woman who saw that was surprised, so she held Adam's hand. "Chief, why don't you ask him for compensation?" He was surprised that the expensive lamps had not been replaced. He also looked nervously at Joshua's back.Adam's image was interrupted by the woman's words, and he grabbed her shoulder and gave her a sharp look. "You broke it, so replace it." Then he walked away, leaving the woman shocked by Adam's words.Adam felt uncomfortable inside. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her. So his expression looked very messed up at the moment. "What exactly did

    The person standing beside Winter looked uneasy and then spoke to Winter. "Miss Winter, that male model you're with seems to be being bullied by Mr. Alden. Aren't you going to do him a favor?" the staffer glanced repeatedly at Joshua. They were only 30 feet away.Winter glanced over, and then she shrugged her shoulders lazily. "No need to worry about him."The staffer was startled by Winter's words and then spoke again. "Miss Winter, you should know the rumors about Mr. Alden. That man often emphasizes to new models about his status, and also, he often makes others give up immediately." The staff had a heavy voice. It was not only her who thought that way because others also nodded their heads.Winter chose to sit down to let her make-up artist quickly fix her hair. "You guys don't know her. I know she has a terrible ability." Winter smiled instead while touching her lips with her index finger.At the same time, Alden felt angry. He withdrew his hand repeatedly but found it difficult

    Now, they were having dinner in a quiet and private place. It was a place that was rarely visited by ordinary people because people who ate at this place would usually make reservations a month in advance.But with Winter's position, she could make a reservation as soon as possible, even when they had just arrived.The two people had only half eaten their food. And Joshua stopped his meal. "This is going to be something dangerous. Your position is in an unpleasant state, Winter."The people who had business with them focused more on Winter. The figure of the heiress of the Western family was not heard of at all. There were many rumors about it happening.Winter looked at Joshua. He looked relaxed. "Yes, I know about that, but it doesn't matter. Are you underestimating me, Joshua?" she even put both hands under her chin, watching Joshua, who immediately shook his head. She was calm..."Be careful." Joshua had received very important documents regarding the file that Winter had given hi

    Victor was so surprised by what Joshua said. He didn't expect such a sentence to come out of his saviour's mouth, so his eyes didn't blink at Joshua. "Are you seriously saying something like that?"Joshua, who was sitting casually in front of him, nodded once slowly. "Absolutely. There is something I want to do." His eyes were filled with a conviction that made Victor realize that this was not just a joke."You are free to do whatever you want, I will protect you from behind." Victor finally spoke as he bowed respectfully to Joshua in front of him.Joshua nodded once regarding that. Now, he wanted to take place quietly, and regarding the figure, he wanted to meet immediately. Not long after, at night, he had worn the clothes of a servant here, using a black vest and a white shirt.His goal was to see his enemy for himself, he was going to approach his enemy. Now he put down the alcoholic drink and was just ordered by Julian Gerall. The man looked so enthusiastic in playing the cards i

    Someone stopped Joshua's footsteps when he was just about to enter a restaurant, and that someone was Charles, a man he had met at a party he went to.Look for a smile. "I didn't expect to meet you, the one who had a conflict with Ramon." he greeted with a quite friendly version. She extended her handWhile Joshua, who was beside her then, welcomed the hand. "Yes. How come you're here?" He spoke calmly in reply to his interlocutor's words.Charles looked to his right side. "Of course, there's some business here. I'm meeting with a client. How about you?" He was really being friendly, different from the other people.Since he had been watching Joshua, although his eyes looked calm from top to bottom, he had known that Joshua could afford to wear expensive things. Being in this restaurant also showed that he had money to spend, but something was bothering him about the information of the man in front of him. So he wanted to get closer and know more."I want to go there." Joshua headed t

    A person who feels weak will find ways to emphasize that he is strong, so he will always raise his voice and say nonsense. Especially if he is a person who believes he is at the top. Too much praise can make a person complacent and forget the truth, so they do something strange.As Melani did now, she did not accept the statement said by Joshua. She was still so angry even though she had done something she wanted earlier. "I'm not stupid at all. You're the one who can't think properly about who I am. I've given you the advantage, but you ignored it." The woman emphasized her sentence repeatedlyShe really wanted to get an award from this man in front of her, if she couldn't get a man she wanted, she felt uncomfortable about it."This shirt you wet is worth 2 million dollars, and you ruined it. So replace it." Joshua, who spoke back, looked at the woman with a cold, piercing look. The words that came from Joshua's mouth stirred the woman's heart.Two million dollars was so much money a

    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

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

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

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.

    "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.
