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
“Diamond Group wants to expand into Rio Dio Country soon.”“But the market in Rio Dio Country has been monopolized by Skyler Group, which is in the top 10 largest companies in the country.”“This month, on the 15th, there will be a cooperation negotiation with the head of Skyler Group.”“Skyler Group’s profit margin is 35%, while Diamond Group’s is 15%. What can I offer here? I can make Skyler Group give up another 5% to us by the 15th.”“Please don’t doubt me, because I can do it!”At that moment, Aurora stood directly in front of the interviewer. A brief silence fell over the room. Light emanated from Aurora’s two eyes in the midst of a fairly bright room.At that moment, anyone would be captivated by the enchanting light in Aurora’s eyes, even overshadowing her own beauty.In such a situation, it seemed Aurora no longer needed Richard’s assistance. She could fight on her own for the project manager position.Soon, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. He raised his
As the secretary walked towards them, Richard laughed insincerely and said, “Yes, I’m very poor, I can’t even rent a single room at the Underwater Hotel. Let’s see what your birthday will be like on the 18th!”“Aurora, let’s go!” Richard said, grabbing Aurora’s hand, while Dharia still looked at them with a disgusted expression.“You and your close friend are requested to attend the Underwater Hotel,” the secretary told Dharia.Initially, Dharia wasn’t quite sure if the Underwater Hotel was really booked for her or not. But now it seemed it was indeed for her. If not, why was she being asked to go there?“Alright, tell Mr. Raylon I will definitely come,” Dharia said with great joy and a hint of arrogance, as if she were already superior to the secretary.Dharia couldn’t wait for the 18th to arrive. She and Aurora shared the same birthday, and she would be staying at the luxurious nine-star Underwater Hotel, attended by all the top officials in Ligos city. Meanwhile, Aurora? She might
How dare an adopted child from the Dwayne family, with no position or power, act so arrogantly?! Even his medical knowledge is unclear—who did he even learn it from?! Does he think he deserves an invitation to S?Tch!Richard stood where he was, his face showing indifference to everything the man before him said. He even responded to the man with, “So what about Onyx Kings? This is Rio Dio country, not your country!”“If you dare to mess around here, you won’t leave this city alive!”“Hahaha! You say I won’t survive if I mess around?” he repeated, pulling out a knife and pointing it at Ashren’s neck.“I’m so scared! Hey, Richard! I’m done with you! He’s one of your subordinates, right?! If I can’t kill you, then I’ll kill him! I’ll give you two choices: either give me the invitation and kneel to apologize, or I’ll kill him right before your eyes!”Although the invitation could be given or forcibly taken, the international competition still had binding rules. Once someone received an i
Velric’s sudden thought made him step back with fear-filled eyes, seeing Richard as if he were the angel of death.“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Elysia asked, coming down from the third floor and noticing Velric’s changed expression. She rushed over and supported her grandfather, who was biting his lower lip, trying to regain his composure.He pushed aside the thought of that mysterious figure, reasoning that twenty-seven years had already passed. That person wouldn’t appear in Rio Dio country. His mind must be playing tricks on him because of his growing fears.“It’s nothing. I just remembered someone, and it caught me off guard,” Velric replied, smiling as if nothing had happened.“This Richard is really stubborn, still refusing to admit defeat. I wonder how he plans to solve today’s mess. He killed Doctor Evran in front of so many people. No one can protect him now... except me.”He spoke confidently, smirking while watching Richard from the second floor, clearly drawing attention.Velr
Including Erni, who had been silent all this time. A cynical smile spread across her face. As if she were preparing a massive conspiracy.Meanwhile, Velric remained standing where he was—at the top of the stairs on the second floor. He watched everything unfold without making a move.Because he was waiting! Waiting for Richard to fall into despair.Waiting for Richard to come to him, begging for help.Unfortunately, what happened was far from what he expected. Because in the next moment, the words coming from Richard’s mouth would disappoint Velric. Not only that, but Richard would also leave Erni utterly shocked and render Dr. Evran speechless with astonishment.“I’m very sorry to disappoint you, Dr. Evran. The invitation card in my hand is not from Level A!”“But... from Level S!” From Level S!An eerie silence fell over the entire room, enveloping it in an instant.Level S???What kind of concept is this! There are only two Level S invitations issued per country in the entire wo
Killed?Caspian, hearing this, looked spontaneously confused.He glanced briefly at the corpse lying in the coffin on the floor. Afterward, he looked at Richard, who was smiling faintly. Yet, he still felt confused and had no understanding. What was truly happening here?“Mr. Richard caused his patient’s death? Impossible! His medical skills are acknowledged by everyone. Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding among you,” said Caspian. The director of the central hospital had witnessed Richard’s medical skills firsthand.Before his eyes, Richard revived Ramiro.How could a genius doctor with such exceptional medical skills cause a patient’s death? There must be something wrong with this situation. However, Doctor Evran and Erni insisted that Richard was the one who caused Grandpa Susilo’s death. “Mr. Caspian, don’t be fooled by this deceiver’s appearance. Moreover, he’s already deceived people from the Dwayne family before.”“For over a decade, his deceit was only exposed later. That pro
“I think it’s you who should quit being a doctor!”“Brothers and sisters, what do you all think?” With just those few words from Dr. Evran, all blame immediately fell on Richard. As if it was indeed Richard’ poor medical skills that caused Grandpa Susilo’s death.Even all the big bosses invited by Velric were astonished by the scene in front of them.Richard had indeed gone to treat Grandpa Susilo this morning! The fact that the man was betting with the people from the Doctors’ Association was undeniable! Everyone knew that. But they also clearly heard that Richard had successfully treated Grandpa Susilo, right? So why did the old man suddenly die? Could it really be because of Richard’s poor medical skills, causing Grandpa Susilo’s death?For a moment, all suspicious gazes were directed toward Richard. The atmosphere in the living room instantly grew tense and silent.“Heh.” Richard chuckled meaningfully.Suddenly, he raised his hand. Clap clap clap! He clapped his hands three times
Velric was already certain that Richard had no influential connections to rely on. Therefore, he dared to utter threats toward Richard. He couldn’t believe it. Richard couldn’t be subdued. He was confident he could defeat that man. At today’s party, Velric symbolically invited some of the big bosses in Almolia City. The ultimate goal was still to seize this opportunity to draw Richard into his faction. “Doctor Richard, let me introduce myself. My name is Draymoor. Do you remember? We’ve met before. I never imagined you had such extraordinary medical skills. Even the Professor Kieran’s untreatable disease, once you intervened, was healed. Truly admirable.” A man named Draymoorwatched Richard descend from the second floor. The man’s eyes instantly lit up. He quickly brought a glass of wine to Richard and approached him. Most of the guests invited by Velric had seen Richard’s medical skills before.Immediately, everyone gathered around Richard and tried to behave kindly in front of h
Wasn’t that Man’s side looking for Aurora? If so, Richard would help them. His method was to give them a photo of Aurora.As Ashren and Richard headed towards Velric’s residence, Zena shifted her attention from Rora to the new coach invited by the Man to join them. Since there were no photos of Aurora online, she could only begin by digging into information about this mysterious coach.“A thank-you party from Mr. Velric?” Zena murmured. “The coach invited by the boss will be there too? Great,” she exclaimed. “If I can build a good relationship with him before he comes to the base...”When Zena discovered that Richard would attend the party held by Velric, her eyes instantly sparkled. From what she had heard from the Man, the coach was incredibly powerful and skilled.Furthermore, it was highly likely his abilities were on par with the War God of Rio Dio Country. If Zena could build a good relationship with this man or climb this grand tree directly, then her future would...As she im
Aurora Nelsons... Aurora?Zena furrowed her brows instantly. Why did the name Aurora Nelsons sound so similar to Rora—Aurora? No, that couldn’t be possible. Their last names were clearly different. “So, this task is yours. As long as you can find Aurora, we can invite that amazing person here!” The Man said, snapping Zena out of her thoughts.“When that happens, you’ll be the most valuable person here,” The Man added, patting Zena on the shoulder.The female coach looked proud to be entrusted with such an important task. She clenched her fists tightly, her face glowing with determination and confidence. She was certain she could accomplish this task. It was just about finding one woman! For Zena, it wasn’t too difficult. Moreover, the internet had made life much easier in this era. By simply searching her name online, anyone could see what Aurora Nelsons looked like. And later, it would be even easier to locate the woman.Thinking this, Zena hurried back to her coaching office.U
Medical skills are something that every country in the world admires. If Richard had no power, no strength, and no influence, he could only submit to others.Meanwhile, on the other side, the doctors who had left the Susilo family residence still felt angry. The more they recalled the incident, the stronger the anger within them became. The angrier they felt, the more they couldn’t accept it. The two male doctors were sitting in the office of the City Doctor’s Association.They were so enraged that they pounded the table. “It’s really infuriating.”“Richard is incredible! He’s nothing more than a useless son-in-law of the Nelsons family. Who does he think he is?” “How dare he make us kneel and apologize to him? Even threatening to drive us out of the medical world? Who does he think he is? Just a discarded adopted son of the Dwayne family, still acting arrogant.” “What does he think he can fight us with?”The faces of the male doctors turned red. They wanted to stab Richard with a k
