"Sir, please listen to our explanation. Please forgive us, Sir." Jeff shouted loudly, hoping that Joshua would listen to him. But unfortunately, Joshua ignored his shout.

Meanwhile, Joshua was crossing his legs and sitting very relaxed without caring about the three people yelling and rebelling against the guards dragging him out of the room. 

"Let me go, don't treat us like this." Darren shouted loudly. He tried to rebel against the two guards who were holding his hands. Even now, the guards dragged him so forcefully that Darren could not escape the two men's grip. 

"You must leave immediately and never show your faces here again." One of the guards gripping Darren's hand shouted, giving affirmation, until after they were in front of the main door, they pushed Darren so hard that Darren's body fell on the floor, along with Emilia and Jeff, who also received the same treatment.

Jeff immediately got up. He wanted to go back into the restaurant to ask Joshua for forgiveness. Unfortunately, the main door was immediately closed by the guard. 

Jeff became very angry. The veins on his forehead were raised, and his jaw was even harder. By this time, both hands were clenched into fists until he turned his body to stare at Darren, who had just gotten up. Jeff knew all this was due to his son's stupidity, so he gave a very sharp look and immediately approached Darren.  

"What have you done, idiot? You're supposed to use your brain when you do things!" Jeff shouted loudly and hit his son's head mercilessly. Jeff didn't even care about the several pairs of eyes that looked at him in confusion. 

"Because of your stupidity, everything has been ruined. You've ruined my career. You useless son of a bitch. I will never forgive you." Jeff punched Darren hard in the face again and then walked away. 

After his father left, Darren hit himself on the head. "What an idiot. How did this happen? How could that damn guy suddenly change? Has he been pretending to be poor all this time?" Darren wondered to himself. He was so upset to be humiliated like that by Joshua that he was even offended by his own father. "No, I'm not. I think something is not right this time." 

Meanwhile, Emilia was biting her own fingers. Actually, at this moment, she was thinking about Joshua again. Even Emilia was filled with regret for breaking up with Joshua just like that. And right now, Emilia was thinking about how she could get back with Joshua. 

Emilia glanced at Darren, who was still muttering to himself. She became very disgusted with Darren, who currently had nothing left. "I guess there's no need to keep Darren. He's already living in poverty." Emilia muttered in exasperation. Then, afterward, she thought about leaving Darren. 

Emilia had just taken two steps, but her hand was caught by Darren. "Hey, where are you going?" Darren held her hand and forced Emilia to stop her actions. She twisted her body and shook off her hand that was in Darren's grasp. 

At this moment, Emilia was eager to meet Joshua and seduce him to get back together. Even Emilia had thought a lot about what she would get when she was with Joshua, who turned out to be rich. "I should be able to get many things from Joshua after we return," she muttered. Then afterward, she looked back at Darren's face with disgust and said, "let me go and don't stop me." Emilia immediately turned her body around to leave Darren, but Darren again held her hand. 

"Emilia, wait. I don't think any of this is right. This is a mistake and you can't just leave me." Darren pulled Emilia's body until they were close again. 

Emilia must have been furious. She let go of Darren's grip by flicking her hand back. And right now, she looked very uncomfortable when Darren kept trying to touch her. 

 "You're right, this was a mistake. And I regret breaking up with Joshua. I should still be with him." Emilia spoke in a loud voice. Her gaze became cynical, and she looked at Darren hatefully. "I should never have listened to your advances to leave Joshua." Emilia deeply regretted her relationship with Darren. She wanted to leave Darren's presence, but Darren still held her back. Even he was blocking her steps at the moment. 

"What did you say? What do you mean?" Darren was amazed by what Emilia had just said. He became furious and thought Emilia wanted the luxury goods she could possibly get from Joshua. Then, she asked, "Are you thinking of returning with that loser?" Darren tightened his grip on Emilia's hand. 

Emilia pulled her hand from Darren's grip. She was getting more and more upset as Darren treated her harshly.

"Look, Darren, I never loved you," Emilia said. It was full of affirmation. "And I want to break up with you. So you should just get out of my sight." 

Of course, Emilia wanted a separation from Darren because now she knew that Joshua was much more prosperous than Darren. So, she was eager to get back together with Joshua. Emilia had also imagined many things about what she would get after getting back together with Joshua, who turned out to be the owner of the luxurious Lux Hotel. 

Darren was distraught with what Emilia had just said. Darren remembers that before this, Emilia was very attached to him while denigrating Joshua. But this time, Emilia just threw it away. Darren raised his hand and pointed at Emilia's face. "You will regret this decision."

Emilia did not care at all about Darren's words. Emilia let Darren go from her presence because she thought her life would be better if she got back together with Joshua. Even now, Emilia began to think of ways to get back with Joshua. But she was very confident that Joshua would accept her easily because before this, they had a special relationship, and Emilia knew that Joshua was a foolish man who would undoubtedly be easy to seduce again.

"I'm very sure that Joshua still loves me very much. So I'm sure after this we'll get back together." Emilia muttered with great conviction.

    Emilia looked at the door that was still closed. She tidied up her hair and clothes and then quickly walked inside confidently. But suddenly, her steps were again blocked by the two guards still there. "Hey, what are you doing? Didn't I say that you can't come back to this place? Leave before I drag you back and throw you out on the streets." The man who had a large body gave Emilia an affirmation. Emilia was forced to step back as she did not want to be humiliated twice by the guard. "Let's see, I'll fire you guys when I get back together with Joshua," she muttered as she chose to wait for Joshua outside the building. After waiting, Emilia finally saw Joshua come out from inside. The man stepped out with a cold face, and immediately, Emilia rushed over to him. "Joshua, I've been waiting for you since earlier. I actually came to apologize to you. And I actually still love you very much, Joshua." Emilia held Joshua's hand, but he immediately withdrew his hand from Emilia's grip. Jo

    Fiona ruffled her waist, and the woman gave Joshua a sharp look. "Gosh, you shouldn't have come to this place. You should have known that you're a poor man and your arrival would only ruin this park." Joshua slowly looked up, staring at the woman in front of him. She had waist-length hair and was brown, almost the same color as her two eyeballs. The familiar face was, of course, recognizable to Joshua, she was the same woman that Joshua had often seen together with Emilia. She was a very arrogant woman named Fiona. Joshua just sighed, then put his cell phone in his pocket, and at this time, Joshua still looked very calm. However, Joshua didn't know the intention of the woman trying to drive him out of there. The woman tilted her lips as Joshua looked at her coldly. She shook her hair and spoke, "Why are you here? Do you really want to look rich? Ah, I know, you must have just come to take pictures in this place to make people think you are a rich man? Gosh, that's so disgusting." F

    His cold face was still clearly visible when Joshua left the park. He should have been able to find peace in the garden. Unfortunately, he had to deal with that crazy woman.

He still wanted to enjoy his day outside the house until this time, he wanted to go somewhere else that he used to frequent.Joshua drove his car at a high speed. He put his sunglasses back on as his eyes felt the glare.

    Joshua gave a piercing stare to those who asked him to step aside. Joshua was a rich man whose gaze was already formed cold as ice. Even the people who came with Jessica seemed hesitant to come into conflict with Joshua, but they still wanted him to leave. "Didn't you hear me? We want to use this place." The man named Jeff spoke up again. This time, however, his voice sounded harsher than before. He stood right next to Joshua and expected Joshua's immediate departure. While Joshua averted his eyes from Jeff, he returned to his meatloaf and ate it very casually. Joshua didn't care about Jeff's shouts of wanting him to leave.

Jessica stood up with her arms folded and then spoke, "You shouldn't have wasted my time for so long. Don't you know that I'm very busy? I want to take pictures and videos here immediately.

    "Shut up, you don't even understand anything about this. Of course they have to apologize and serve me in order for me to give this cafe a good review." Jessica looked up at Joshua and lowered her gaze. She didn't feel afraid at all, even though Joshua looked very angry with a very cold expression on his face.Meanwhile, Jessica folded her hands again. She smiled a little and said, "Do you know that if I give a bad review to this cafe? It will have a huge impact, and of course, in a matter of days, this cafe will go bankrupt or even close down." Jessica shook her hair. She continued to emphasize her threatening words to the old couple in front of Joshua. Afterwards, Jessica gave him a sardonic look and said, "Don't you even interfere. You're just a foreign man who doesn't understand anything."Jessica smiled with her two crew members. Meanwhile, Jeff also gave a sharp look. "Who does he think he is? He forbade them to apologize to you, and I'm not even sure if he'll be able to save th

    Jessica laughed while shaking her head repeatedly. She looked up at Joshua's face and observed him closely. "There's someone hallucinating here. He said something very funny." Jessica tried hard to stop herself from laughing, but she couldn't. Remembering Joshua's words, she couldn't help but laugh aloud again."He talks like he has so much power. But he doesn't realize who he really is." Jessica shook her head again. She looked at Joshua and observed his appearance. "Even you still eat in this humble place. And, of course, this would never be done by someone who truly has power." Jessica said that to Joshua. But the man in front of her just looked at her coldly. In fact, he looked very calm.Jessica straightened her body. She exposed her body to Joshua and puffed out her chest. Then she said, "I am an influencer and you should know who I am. Even I often know many men who have tremendous power, but not once do I know who you are." Jessica tilted her lips as she looked at Joshua's fac

    Jesicca frowned as her manager suddenly snapped at her after she had just answered the call. Of course, she felt even more dizzy. "What's going on? Why is everything messed up like this?" Her manager Dev's voice came back. "Why did your account suddenly disappear? Even scandals about you have appeared on the internet. There are a lot of bad videos about you. You should have behaved yourself. What a fool." The man continued to ramble on without pausing to give Jessica time to speak. Jessica massaged her aching head. She was already very dizzy with the disappearance of her account. She couldn't even access her other social media accounts. And this really made her head hurt a lot. But Dev's words made her head throb even more.Jessica held back her tears. "Why do you have to say so many bad things to me? I should be the one who is angry because I am the one who is being harmed here." Jessica replied to Dev's words before the man went back to talking. "I don't even know how my account s

    "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.

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?

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. 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.
