The manager, who had been laughing heartily, was startled when he saw the name displayed on his phone screen. The other managers threw questioning glances at him.“Sir, how can I help? It seems like there’s an urgent issue since you’ve been trying to reach me all night,” the manager asked, noticing the president director’s call. The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then sighed.A second later, a loud voice from the other end of the line shouted, “LandMark Manager! Tell me what you have done today?!”“W-what have I done?” LandMark Manager asked, confused.What had he done? He hadn’t done anything at all. What could have made the director so angry? What was actually happening?Other managers standing about two hundred meters away could hear the president director’s shouting.“Right now, this very second, gather in front of the office entrance! I’ll be there in five minutes!” ordered the director.“G-gather? What for, sir?” asked the manager cautiously.“What
Unfortunately, three years ago, he believed Grandpa Nelsons’ words and married Dharia. He easily assumed that she was the one who had helped him fifteen years ago.“Oh, is that so? The girl you mean is Dharia?” Aurora asked, looking at Richard with hope. She suddenly clenched her hands, feeling a slight pang in her heart.Maybe it’s because, generally, every woman will hold admiration for those who have helped her. Just like Aurora. And perhaps Richard’s presence made her remember the man who had been with her through the ordeal fifteen years ago.That’s why when she heard the story between Richard and Dharia, the first reaction from Aurora was a look of sadness. However, Richard remained silent and did not answer the question she had asked.Their car started entering the Imperial Garden complex. Upon reaching the entrance gate, their car was stopped by the security guard. Perhaps because, Richard was a new resident without an access card, and the car they were driving looked cheap.“
Important people consider license plates to be something significant and sacred. Each of them has a plate with its own meaning behind it.Could it be... that the man came here because of a call from Richard? Impossible! From their current location, there’s still a distance of about twenty kilometers to LandMark Real Estate. If he did come because of a call from Richard, it would have taken at least thirty minutes. There’s no way he could have arrived so quickly!“It must be a coincidence, just a coincidence,” Elvan murmured to calm himself.But the fact Elvan didn’t know was that the president director wasn’t in his office. He was at the police station in the Imperial Garden complex. With the evening traffic, it allowed the president director to quickly catch up with Richard. The car stopped completely behind Richard’s vehicle, and Elvan assumed the man’s car had blocked the president director’s access.“Serves you right! Now the president director is here!” Elvan said happily, cas
Could the person whose humility was previously mocked be the important person his uncle mentioned?“I’ve offended an important person... for the past few days, the only person I’ve been bothering was Richard. Turns out... turns out that person was him?!”“Hahahaha!” Elvan laughed in despair, his whole body shaking violently.Had he known it would come to this, he would never have tried to insult and belittle Richard. If he had known who Richard really was, he would never have pursued Dharia.Dharia, Dharia. It’s all over for you! It’s all over for the Nelsons family!The former husband you called a parasite and useless is now highly respected by a CEO of LandMark! Someone who can buy an expensive villa with just one word!When they arrived at Villa Number 8, they both went inside immediately.“No wonder it’s so expensive. This house is located on such a prime piece of land! No wonder the price is so high,” Aurora murmured as she surveyed the entire house.Richard was slightly taken ab
“For the past three years, he hasn’t been able to make any money at all. There’s no way he could buy a villa! Aurora is also quite shameless! Just like her mother, who loves to flirt with others. A bastard like her doesn’t deserve to celebrate her birthday!”After saying this, she took out her phone and said, “Mom, I’m calling my friends and inviting them to my birthday party. I want everyone to know that Aurora and Richard are having an affair so they can see just how cunning that woman is.”“Yes! That’s right! Just invite all your friends so they can see who Aurora really is. Luckily, you’re now being courted by the Diamond Group manager! Let them be envious of you!” Carmen replied.The Nelsons family confidently believed that Raylon was interested in Dharia because they thought that was why he had booked the Underwater Hotel for her. However, what they didn’t know was that the hotel was booked for the bastard child they so despised!Meanwhile, it was Richard, their former son-in-la
“One more thing, send an interview invitation to Aurora right away. No decisions should be made until she arrives. This is an order!”The firm command came from Richard. He didn’t want to see Dharia seated as the project manager there.Didn’t Dharia say that Richard was like trash? That Richard couldn’t give her what she wanted?“I heard you mention Dharia’s name earlier. Did she call you?” Aurora suddenly asked from the second floor, looking down at Richard, who was standing near the kitchen.Richard’s face looked far from happy. The man seemed to be suppressing his anger.Aurora assumed that Richard was still unable to forget the failure of his marriage, so she tried to comfort him. “I can tell that she still has feelings for you deep down in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be thinking about you even after the divorce.”Hearing this, Richard laughed briefly and replied, “There’s no place for me in her heart anymore, only money, a villa, and luxury cars. That’s all. I couldn
The loud voice immediately made people rush toward its source. A man dressed casually, with both hands in his pockets, appeared. He didn’t seem afraid of whoever he was facing. Beside him stood a woman in more formal attire. Her legs were slender, and her skin was smooth and pale. Her face looked very beautiful with elegant, light makeup.“Richard?! What are you doing?” Dharia asked, her brow furrowed, and her expression filled with disgust.People noticed Dharia’s expression and quickly began guessing who the man was.“Maybe he’s the son-in-law of the Nelsons family. A useless son-in-law. Look at his clothes!”“Who’s the woman beside him? She’s so beautiful. Why isn’t she a model instead?”Richard ignored the comments from those around him and didn’t answer Dharia’s question. He directly led Aurora to the interview location.Dharia blocked Richard’s path and asked again, “Hey, I asked you, what are you doing here?”Richard remained silent, but Aurora took the initiative to answer. “
As soon as she reached the door, Dharia confidently pushed it open and walked into the interview room. She thought that this session would be just a formality and that she wouldn’t fail.“Hello, Sir! I’m Dharia Nelsons!” Dharia said, extending her hand.The interviewer was a middle-aged man, around 40 years old. He wore a suit and glasses. His expression was very serious with sharp, piercing eyes.“Oh… Dharia Nelsons?!” the man said upon hearing Dharia’s voice.Dharia lifted her head and turned around. “Yes, I’m Dharia Nelsons. I’m here for the interview regarding the project manager position. I...”Before Dharia could finish her sentence, the man cut her off. “You can leave now!”Dharia was stunned. She couldn’t believe what the man had just said. She asked, “Do you mean I should leave now and that the interview is over?”The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Dharia with an ironic gaze. “Over? Who said your interview was successful? I mean, you failed the interview!”“Do you unde
