"What? Melissa?" asked Dylan, gasping with wide eyes.
The manservant seemed to nod for the umpteenth time, confirming Dylan's words.
He also explained that Melissa didn't come alone to this place but with one of her personal assistants.
Hearing the guest who wanted to meet with Dylan was his legal wife made Maya's heart pound quickly.
The woman's head moved sideways, seeing the upset expression on Dylan's face.
"Should I kick her out?" she asked, trying to confirm.
Dylan cleared his throat, leaning back in the black office-like chair he was sitting in. The man's two beady eyes scrolled to the right, watching Maya thoughtfully.
"T
Melissa's assistant helped her superior get back on her feet, not letting Melissa continue prostrating herself to throw away her honor for Dylan to sympathize and mellow.Melissa also seemed to know the current situation; there was no other choice that could be made other than trying as much as possible to defend Monarch without help from Dylan.Melissa's hand grasped her assistant's hand tightly, trembling with a pounding heart full of fear of what might happen in the future."All right. We're leaving," Melissa stated, saying goodbye in a low voice.Dylan did not respond, the man's sharp eyes still watching Melissa's exit from that place.Now, Melissa's back was passing the front door of the Sullivan House. Melissa walked to
***"She said that?" Maya asked.Dylan cleared his throat, nodding as he stayed seated on the long couch, looking to the side where Maya sat next to him.He began telling her about the explanation Melissa's assistant had given him, a description related to why Melissa wanted Dylan to return home.The real reason could be said to be looking for justification, but Dylan hadn't known what Melissa was like all this time.What Melissa's assistant said could be true, or it could not. The only way to prove it was to do what Melissa wanted."Even though we've lived together for three years, I can't confirm whether Melissa's words are true," Dylan replied.Dylan's head moved like something had triggered him to look to the side. Now, Dylan's focus was on the whiteboard behind his desk.If Dylan had to look back into his revenge plan, there was one big plan that Melissa was involved in.The plan was not about Robert but about Melissa. Melissa was the CEO of Watson's FnB company.To destroy the W
Hearing Dylan say he was returning to the Watson residence made Melissa's heart happy. She smiled wide with both pupils rounded.At first, she thought it was impossible for Dylan to return, just like he sold his shares in Monarch. However, something happened beyond Melissa's expectations.Dylan was willing to return to the Watson home, live again with Melissa, and establish a home life like before.The woman would pay for the terrible things Melissa had done to Dylan. For now, she would not be rude, angry, and disrespectful to Dylan.Melissa also thought that if Dylan could return to Watson, she would probably have more time to talk to Robert.The more she talked to Robert, the better their closeness would be. If Melissa is l
Maya had been waiting for Dylan's arrival outside the Sullivan residence, standing next to the black sedan that had been prepared. Diaz also stood, welcoming Dylan, who was about to embark on his first day at Sully Corp, not as an employee, but as the CEO. Even though today was just an introduction by Dylan as the new CEO of Sully Corp, moments like these remained sacred no matter what.Richard and Louis were still at the dining table, not yet finished with the breakfast served on it. They would only leave after completing their meal. Dylan was urged by both of them to leave first, even though the time still showed nine o'clock.The door of the Sullivan residence opened, revealing Dylan's charismatic and authoritative figure standing in front of the door. Maya was impressed. Although she had often seen Dylan wearing a suit, for some reason, his appearance seemed different today—more handsome than usual."Are you ready?" Dylan walked down the steps, approaching the black sedan par
Dylan walked past Richard's wooden desk, standing tall in front of the glass wall that displayed the cityscape from a height. His demeanor and Richard's were quite different; Richard was afraid of heights when he looked at the scenery, while Dylan enjoyed the view outside.Alice spontaneously glanced at Maya. The two women exchanged a brief look and then refocused their gaze ahead, looking towards Dylan."What do you think when you see this view?" Dylan asked.He was still looking ahead with eyes witnessing buildings, houses, streets, and vehicles clearly visible to him—an ecosystem designed for humans, especially businessmen."Beautiful," Maya replied."Soothing," added Alice."Beautiful and soothing. That's not a bad answer," Dylan expressed, starting to glance back."How about you?" Maya asked, curious as she walked closer.Dylan fell silent, both hands tightly folded as his gaze directed towards Maya, who was approaching.After silently admiring Maya's beautiful appearance, he tu
Richard and Maya could not hide their surprise. Dylan was talking about business matters and business expansion.Maya tried to attract Dylan's eyes. Her right hand kept waving in front of her chest to entice Dylan to look at her. However, Maya failed to do so.Dylan noticed the glimpse in Maya's and Richard's eyes, sitting beside him. Dylan smiled, cutting off his explanation about business expansion and focusing more on introducing himself.From the phrase business expansion alone, many things could be asked by the people in that place. However, Dylan did not affirm or clarify his words regarding the business expansion.He would be so free to explain when the time had come, and the shareholder meeting took place. There, Dylan will share his ideas for further developing
"Don't worry, I'll try to talk to her," Alfred said. Alfred was certainly not hesitant to accept Dylan's request; after all, he had planned to sell the shares to Dylan before. However, the ownership had changed for now, with Helen having full control over the decision to sell the shares. She was not a fool; she had subordinates who understood business affairs, such as economic analysts and business experts. Before making such a significant decision, Helen would surely discuss it further with them. She needed to know the advantages and disadvantages of selling the shares to Dylan. The meeting at Sully was over. Alfred planned to go home after finishing his business there.
"Is that so, huh? We'll go to the Rockefeller residence now," Dylan ordered.Maya said yes. She got into the black sedan along with Dylan, Diaz already knew where the Rockefeller residence was because he had once driven Richard to the house.The location of the Rockefeller residence was arguably outside the city central area, located in a green and elite housing estate.Alfred was the type of man who disliked the hustle and bustle of the city center. He never took a walk in the city when it was crowded.The middle-aged man prefers to spend time in his home, bonding emotionally with his family, and taking occasional vacations to less famous places.Everything is done for one thing, to find peace that can soothe his heart
