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. Joshua gave her a flat look, but Emilia still tried to be sweet. "I just broke up with Darren. I don't love him at all, and I realized that I only love you. Can we get back?"Emilia said it was very spoiled. Right now, she was very confident of getting back together with Joshua, but she did not realize that the man in front of her did not care about the seduction. She just wanted everything to happen. Meanwhile, Joshua, who heard all that, became a thin grin. Then afterward, Joshua looked at Emilia's face with a cold gaze. "Everything you say is a lie, and it's useless." The man averted his eyes without changing his stern facial expression, and then he spoke again, "I don't want to go back with a cheap woman like you." Joshua emphasized that to Emilia.Joshua then quickly left Emilia's presence and he walked to his car. Emilia didn't want to lose the opportunity, she followed. "Joshua, wait!" Emilia shouted, but Joshua ignored her. Suddenly, the woman wanted to touch Joshua's hand again to stop Joshua's steps, but Joshua quickly pushed her away. Joshua immediately got into the Roll Royce car parked in front of the restaurant.Joshua deliberately made the car window, looking at the woman who was shocked to see this. "I remember that you admired this car very much." Joshua reminded Emilia of that, and she nodded her head quickly. Emilia had always dreamed of climbing into a Rolls-Royce car to drive around the city. But back then, she thought that Joshua would never fulfill her wish because she knew that Joshua was a poor man. But she didn't expect Joshua to be wealthy, and now she saw him riding in a Roll Royce. "Yes, I really admire that car and I really want to ride with you. You're a wonderful man. You're now going to take me for a ride in it!" Emilia's face was filled with hope. "Never." Joshua spoke coldly, closed the glass window, and then the driver drove off, leaving Emilia still there. Joshua did not look back at all. His gaze was still icy, and Peter noticed his master's attitude until he asked, "Master, is everything alright?""I'm very well." Joshua replied without looking at Peter and chose to keep his eyes straight ahead. The following day, Joshua opened his eyes and realized he had woken up in a luxurious room. A room that had been abandoned long ago in favor of a simple tenement. Joshua exhaled before he finally got up from there. "Master, you just woke up? I have prepared this for you." Peter, who was there, immediately gave his master a cup of hot coffee.They were currently at one of Bradley's houses in the city center. Several times, Joshua had come to this place for a short while, but he chose to return to live in the modest house he had rented with the money he earned from his work. "Master, I have also prepared warm water for you. Clothes and breakfast have also been prepared." Peter said it very politely. Meanwhile, Joshua just nodded while sipping the coffee in his glass.After refreshing his body, Joshua immediately got ready with his neat clothes, and afterward, Joshua went down the stairs and went downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning, master." One of the waiters greeted Joshua. Everyone immediately bowed to the greeting, and Joshua just looked at them with a flat look. Joshua immediately sat down and enjoyed the food that was served. He ate quietly, then looked out the large glass window directly showing outside. They were actually in an elite residential area-Emerald Garden, which had a price tag of hundreds of millions of dollars per unit. After shoveling the food into his mouth, Joshua let out a rough breath. Then, he quickly took a sip of his drink.Peter saw his master's expression. He quickly approached and said, "Is this food bad, master? Should I ask the chef to prepare something else?" Peter became anxious at the cold expression on his master's face. Joshua shook his head. He put his fork and knife down and pushed his plate into the center of the table, then he said, "I just need some fresh air." Joshua replied with a flat expression on his face. Peter understood what his master meant. At this point, Peter immediately took his master to the garage. There, Joshua immediately chose one of the cars he liked, until finally, his choice fell on a white two-seater sports car. And Joshua would use the car just to drive around and release his fatigue. Joshua put on his sunglasses and drove around the Emerald Garden residential area. After a few minutes, Joshua finally chose to stop at a park in the residential area. Joshua immediately got off and walked around the park until, eventually, he ended his steps to sit on a bench under a shady tree. There, Joshua chose to play on his cell phone. The atmosphere was so calm that Joshua enjoyed it very much. He played on his cell phone and read some news that happened that day. But while he was busy with his cell phone, suddenly someone came and immediately approached Joshua. "Hey, what are you doing here!?" The person greeted him with a sardonic look in his eyes. Then he spoke again, "Are you a poor person who only comes to this free place to feel rich?"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. Fortunately, some of the guards who came were actually subordinates of Peter, so he knew very well who the real Joshua was. Joshua didn't want to go home early. 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. Finally, Joshua stopped the car when he was in front of a series of buildings that were often used by some people to gather."It's been a while since I've been here," Joshua muttered as he took off his sunglasses. Then afterward, he got out of his sports car.Actually, this place was more than just an ordinary hangout. Some people from wealthy families and social media celebrities often come here to take pictures and videos. Some of them
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. Jeff stared at Jessica until the long-haired woman immediately came over. Reluctantly, he had to intervene to evict Joshua from this place. 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. So move aside!" Jessica shooed him
"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
Amy shook her head. She smiled gently at Joshua. Then she said, "We don't need anything like that. We've been living together here for a long time. And we've been delighted in this restaurant." Amy paused her sentence. She looked at Joshua gently and said, "And one thing we are pleased about right now is you." Amy said that with seriousness.Amy said all that because she loved Joshua, and she was happy that he had stood up for her. Even Amy and James are grateful to Joshua, and they are doing well now."Joshua, we are very grateful to you. You did a great thing to defend us." James patted Joshua's shoulder gently.Both of them looked at Joshua with serious eyes. "Joshua, you have changed a lot now. And we are delighted with your change." There, Amy immediately gave Joshua a hug. But Joshua seemed to have a flat facial expression, and Joshua did not return Amy's hug.After a few seconds, Amy released her hug from Joshua's body. She smiled warmly. Joshua also looked at Amy's face, and
Everyone seemed surprised by the black card Joshua was carrying. They even widened their eyes when they saw it, especially when the two men did not have the same card that Joshua wore."Is that a real black card?" Harper still widened her eyes. She stared firmly at the black card in Joshua's hand. "I'm not sure if it's a real black card." Harper seemed to doubt Joshua. He was much more confident that Joshua was a poor man."You're right, Harper. I'm also very sure that it's a fake card. He's a poor man and certainly doesn't have that black card. If he did, of course, he would have bought it long ago. But he can't even buy one of the cheapest cakes in this place." Frank also doubted Joshua.Harper laughed at Joshua's stupidity, "The poor guy pretends to have a black card, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to work at all." They laughed together afterward.Julie heard the tweets of the two men behind her, and then her gaze fell on Joshua. Julie's eyes twitched, trying to examine the bla
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.
