All eyes immediately turned to the graceful figure of the Limousine pulling up in front of them. A vehicle representing the power and wealth of Wayne Corporations had just arrived, capturing the attention of everyone present. The company emblem proudly displayed on the car door left a dazzling impression. "Just arrived, the new leader of Wayne Corporations," someone whispered among the guests, their voice low but filled with unbearable curiosity. No one could resist wanting to know more about the mysterious figure behind Wayne Corporations' new splendor. It was as if the entire West Island held high hopes of witnessing him firsthand, unveiling the secrets behind the city's economic powerhouse.
The Limousine slowly opened, revealing the confident figure of Arnold stepping out from the driver's seat, followed by Ana emerging from the other side. They walked towards the passenger door with light steps, opening it as the whispers of the curious guests drew closer, eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious figure behind Wayne Corporations' remarkable success.With graceful steps, a pair of legs adorned in shiny black shoes slid slowly out of the Limousine.All eyes were fixed on the majestic presence, including Renal, who couldn't hide his astonishment at the figure standing before him."Gerald," he whispered, his voice almost drowned out by his bewilderment.Yes, without a doubt, the man stepping out of the Limousine was Gerald, the once thought useless cousin. Present at Grandma's invitation as the new leader of Wayne Corporations.Renal shook his head quickly, trying to snap out of his reverie. But the reality in front of him was too clear. This couldn't be possible, he thought. How could Gerald, the ignored cousin, now become the prominent leader at Wayne Corporations? There must be a mistake, there must be deception behind all of this.With steady steps and his arrogant demeanor, Renal approached Gerald. Without hesitation, he rudely pushed the man, creating a stir among the shocked guests witnessing the unexpected behavior from Grandma Kyle's beloved grandson."You fraud!" Renal hissed sharply. "What are you doing here with this bunch of scammers? You must have hired someone to impersonate as the new owner of Wayne Corporations, didn't you?" he asked, his voice full of hatred and disbelief.Despite being roughly pushed, almost stumbling, Gerald remained calm. With his always composed demeanor, he straightened his slightly disheveled attire, then smiled softly at Renal."Don't you recognize, Miss Anastasia, Renal's cousin?" Gerald asked, his voice calm but firm.Renal turned to the beautiful woman standing beside him, gracefully holding a tablet. Of course, Renal knew Anastasia, not only for her stunning appearance but also for her tough reputation in the business world of West Island."No. You must be a fraud," Renal retorted, accusing Anastasia. "You must be involved in this dirty scheme with Gerald, right? What were you thinking, getting involved in such illicit affairs?"Anastasia stared sharply at Renal, expressing her disagreement with the baseless accusations."Please choose your words wisely, Sir. Gerald Wayne is the rightful owner of Wayne Corporations," she said firmly.Although still skeptical and reluctant to accept the reality before his eyes, Renal continued with increasingly rough and inappropriate behavior. "You're all frauds!" he shouted loudly. "I will never believe it, even if his name matches the big company. He couldn't possibly be the new leader of Wayne Corporations.""Believe it or not, that's not my concern, Renal. But your way of speaking is truly embarrassing. As a student from the best university, you should be ashamed of making baseless accusations against me and Miss Ana. I could sue you for defamation. Aren't you afraid of that?" Gerald asked firmly.A turbulent atmosphere enveloped Grandma Kyle's front yard that evening among the guests. Renal was silenced by Gerald's serious words. Seeing all the grandeur possessed by Gerald, from the Limousine to the two trusted individuals of Wayne Corporations accompanying him, Renal began to realize that perhaps what Gerald said was true. Suddenly, Harley stepped forward, facing the unbelievably reality. Her husband, all this time, was the new leader of Wayne Corporations. It was truly incomprehensible, leaving her speechless, just staring at Gerald as if seeing him five years ago."Harley," Gerald called.However, Harley remained silent in her place. She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. What's more painful, Gerald had hidden everything from her. Harley felt neglected by her husband. Yet, all this time, she had always shared everything with Gerald."Why did you hide this from me?" Harley asked."I didn't mean to hide it from you, Harley," Gerald replied.Harley shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks."You didn't mean to? So all this time you're the one who instructed them both to pass my project, right? Accepting the cooperation I made and sidelining Renal?" Harley asked.Gerald fell silent. He couldn't answer his wife's question, which would surely hurt her.Suddenly, amidst the commotion, a Rolls-Royce arrived and stopped behind Gerald's car. Grandpa Wayne got out with his two sturdy bodyguards. Grandma Kyle, who had been standing behind, saw the situation and immediately realized it. She ran towards Grandpa Wayne to greet him."Mr. Wayne, you finally came," Grandma Kyle greeted, wanting to shake hands with Grandpa Wayne.However, Grandpa Wayne knew that Grandma Kyle was a woman who only coveted wealth. He rejected Grandma Kyle's outstretched hand and directed his steps towards Gerald."Why did you only greet me? Didn't he arrive first?" Grandpa Wayne asked Grandma Kyle. Grandma Kyle smiled at Grandpa Wayne. However, just like Renal, Grandma Kyle didn't believe that her poor grandson-in-law was the new leader of Wayne Corporations."He's just my grandson-in-law, shouldn't be here, Mr. Wayne. Usually, he's just in the back, washing dirty dishes," Grandma Kyle said.Grandpa Wayne sighed, looked at Gerald with annoyance, then said, "You dare to treat him like that, huh?""He's worthless. Absolutely worthless," Grandma Kyle replied."To you, maybe he's worthless, but to me, he's a very precious grandson," Grandpa Wayne said firmly.

"Have you finished washing all the dirty dishes?" Harley asked in a haughty tone of voice as she stood in the kitchen doorway. The opponent Gerald Wayne was talking to just nodded his head obediently to his wife while showing dozens of white plates that looked so shiny neatly arranged on a large plate rack. There was a look of satisfaction on her face after seeing the results of her husband's useless work in her eyes. "Hurry up and change clothes, and remember not to embarrass me in front of my family's guests," said Harley and then left Gerald. A year ago was like a nightmare for Gerald Wayne. After the day of his wedding to Harley Kyle, the most beautiful woman on campus, Gerald's parents were involved in a serious traffic accident which caused his mother to die on the spot and his father to fall into a coma. Even worse, his adoptive younger brother, Christian Wayne sabotaged the company and took over the family's company for himself. The company and property were confiscated an

"Who are you? And how do you know my birthday?" Gerald asked in a confused tone and chuckled in surprise. The reason is that literally after the accident that bankrupted his family, no one in the world remembered his birthday, not even his wife, Harley. "My name is Arnold Zummer," he said, introducing himself. The name sounded familiar to Gerald's ears as if he had heard the name before, but he didn't know when or where. The handsome, reddish-haired man tried for a moment to remember the name Arnold Zummer in his head, but unfortunately he didn't know or remember who Arnold Zummer was. "Who are you?" Gerald asked. "I am your grandfather's personal assistant, William Wayne. My purpose in calling you is to tell you that your grandfather wants to meet to hand over all of Wayne Corporation's ownership assets." Gerald found it difficult to swallow his own saliva when he heard the words of the man speaking on the other end of the phone. The owner of Wayne Corporations inheriting the fr

Gerald almost had a heart attack where he was standing, unlike Arnold, he even chuckled at the sight of him being surprised to hear that he would receive three billion dollars. Moreover, tomorrow Gerald would sign a letter of transfer of power belonging to the Wayne Corporation, all of which would be acquired in his name. "This is not a young master. You even have to come to the Wayne Corporation tomorrow to sign the transfer of power which in total is worth five trillion dollars," said Arnold. "Are you kidding me? I mean, I know Wayne Corporation is the biggest company on the West Island, but I can't believe that all its assets reach three trillion dollars. That's fantastic," said Gerald. Arnold has worked with William Wayne for a long time, in fact almost all his life, of course the numbers mentioned are not just bullshit numbers. Wayne's grandfather had said this long ago after finding out that Gerald's parents had been in a serious car accident and the Wayne Group had been take

"Yes, but until now you can't even make Harley happy. It's better if you divorce her and let her be with Christian," said mother. "Mother and father, don't be like that. Gerald and I will never divorce," said Harley loudly. "You," said the mother-in-law angrily. Her mother-in-law almost wanted to hit Harley for being so impudent in defying all her orders. However, Gerald quickly protected him and immediately took Harley into the room and locked the door. "I'm sorry about what you said earlier," said Harley. "No need to worry. We'd better go to sleep, you have an important meeting tomorrow," answered Gerald. Harley snorted loudly, her face showing a complaint that could no longer be hidden. "What is it?" Gerald asked. "Grandma replaced my position with Renal. Grandma thinks I don't have enough potential to win the project with Wayne Corporation," Harley explained. Renal is known as Kyle's grandmother's grandson who, apart from being arrogant, is also a genius even though he is

Anastasia got up from her seat and walked out of the room straight down to the lobby reception desk and met Renal and Yoke who were waiting there with brown envelopes in hand. "Miss Anastasia, we finally met," said Renal enthusiastically. "We will not collaborate with the Kyle Group through you," said Anastasia. Yoke's eyes clearly widened when he heard that, ae dil Rentals. "But what does that mean?" Renal asked. "Isn't the commissioner of the Kyle Group Miss Harley Kyle?" asked Anastasia. "Yes," answered Renal. "We will only accept it if the cooperation proposal is sent by him," answered Anastasia. "I can't accept this," said Renal. "That's your business, sir. I'm just carrying out the tasks that Mr. Wayne gave me," answered Anastasia. "No! It's impossible for Mr. Wayne to reject my proposal and wait for that useless commissioner. She's just a useless woman. You're stupid if you refuse me to wait for her to come," said Renal. "Do you think our decision is a stupid decision

"Accusing me of selling myself just because you were rejected?" Harley replied. "Yes, that is the reality," emphasized Renal. "You are very cunning and arrogant, Renal. To the point of slandering me for unclear reasons. I did all this without any frills," screamed Harley. "I will never accept this disgusting cooperation contract," said the grandmother firmly. "Grandma," whispered Harley. "You, grandma, fire me and immediately leave the Kyle Group!" Kyle's grandmother continued. Like being struck by lightning, Harley heard the words of Kyle's grandmother who fired him for something he didn't do without caring about his self-respect. He, who didn't want to lose his job, immediately sat down and prostrated himself asking for forgiveness. "Grandma, please don't do that. I've survived and sacrificed many things to stay in the Kyle Group," Harley begged. "All this time, I've been merciful to you, Harley. If it weren't for my husband, I would have taken you away from the Kyle Group a

"Okay. I'll prove it," replied Renal confidently. Gerald immediately snatched the cooperation contract letter with Wayne Corporation from Harley's hands. The man with a thin beard and mustache tore the paper into shreds and threw it in front of everyone there with full confidence. “Are you crazy, Gerald?!” Grandma shouted because the thin paper was so precious to her. "Grandma won't need that, because her beloved grandson will guarantee a new cooperation contract from Wayne Corporation," replied Gerald. After saying that, Gerald pulled Harley's hand away from there, the two of them walked confidently and left the Kyle family residence. Meanwhile at home, Grandma was infuriated by Renal's mother's arrogant attitude and immediately hit her very hard in the face and blamed her for making Gerald that angry. "You're the one who made Gerald angry today, are you out of your mind?" Grandma snapped. "She's just a worthless daughter-in-law, why bother with her? Don't worry, regarding the

Grandpa read all the reports Ana gave today and thought what Gerald did was stupid. The woman reported the actions taken by the new owner of the Wayne Corporation, not expecting her grandson to receive a cooperation contract with the Kyle Group, which was only a small company. "So far, that's all the young master has done," Ana reported. "What is Gerald thinking? If this collaboration is successful, we will only gain a few percent of Wayne Corporation's shares, doesn't he think this is a waste of energy?" Wayne's grandfather asked disapprovingly. "It seems that Mr. Gerald has a special grudge against the Kyle Group," said Ana. "He is his wife's family, but I didn't expect Gerald would actually do this to make up for his heartache," added Grandpa Wayne. "Then what should I do, sir? Should I cancel the cooperation agreement with the Kyle Group?" Ana asked for reassurance. "No, don't do that. To cover the operational costs that will occur in this collaboration, it's better to make
