"How dare that poor guy refuse Tamara's money. He must feel great after being able to marry Tamara."
"Didn't you hear Tamara's mom say that the poor man used black magic to get Tamara to like him? Looks like his black magic isn't working anymore." The people who attended Tamara's invitation looked at Abraham and shook their heads. They hoped Abraham would leave the place as soon as possible since his arrival ruined the smoothly running event. Tamara, who had gotten over her shock, grinned and replied to Abraham, "That's just how you are, always acting haughty. A poor person like you doesn't deserve prestige. A person's pride should be in accordance with his wealth, and you who have no wealth certainly have no pride." Abraham smiled sarcastically. Such words did not deserve to come from a woman who used to come from a homeless family that he saved. "You seem to have forgotten where you came from. You wouldn't be standing in this place without my help." Tamara laughed mockingly, then replied, "That's funny, I can have this wealth because of my own efforts. What can a useless man like you do?" Johan Fernandes replied, "Looks like that poor man thought you could be used, darling. He must have wanted to ask you for more money so he pretended to refuse the money you gave him." Folding her arms in arrogance, Tamara ordered Abraham, "Pick up the money while I still have pity on you! If you don't pick up the money now, you'll regret it because I won't spend a penny on you again even if you beg me." "I don't need your money. And let's see who will regret it later," Abraham said with eyes that seemed to be burning with anger, then he turned around and walked away from Tamara. People backed away, expressing their disgust at Abraham as he walked out of the room. Abraham had time to look at the faces of the people in the room. He had to make sure that he remembered each and every one of them and their insults, so that when the time came, he would repay them with more insults. For two years, Abraham literally started Tamara from scratch. All of Abraham's savings were given to Tamara to start her skincare business. Tamara, who was discouraged by the loss of her business, was able to get back on her feet because of Abraham's help in promoting Tamara's products door-to-door. He also became a courier to deliver Tamara's products as far as possible using only a bicycle. And Tamara was able to create a big company because Abraham helped her find investors. However, it seems Tamara has forgotten all about his services and only thinks of him as a poor, useless husband. I'll make you regret dumping me, Tamara. ..**..** Abraham was ready to leave for the construction site where he worked when the messenger from the court arrived with his divorce papers. He held the letter, crumpled it up and threw it on the floor. Life must go on, even if Abraham was still overwhelmed with a broken heart after Tamara's betrayal. Instead of thinking about the snake woman, he should get to work. Abraham's workplace was at the construction site of a high-rise building where Bosch's first seven-star hotel, Hill Palace Hotel by Sephard, would be built. It was a luxury hotel under the Sephard Group owned by Antonio Sephard who was a global multibillionaire whose businesses were in various fields and spread almost all over the world. Abraham entered the construction area and could see workers passing by, as well as heavy machinery transporting goods. The tall cranes that had been installed looked like dashing robots transporting large, heavy equipment that would be used by workers in the construction of the building. Abraham headed into a steel room that was a temporary locker room for the workers. There were special yellow vests and helmets for the workers. After putting on the vest and helmet as part of the safety and security procedures, he was just about to leave the place to go to the iron cutting area, when Patrick, one of his coworkers, came up to him. "Why are you still coming here?" Patrick asked. "Didn't you get fired?" Abraham's brow furrowed at Patrick's words. "Who said I was fired? I'm still working here as you can see." A man wearing a white helmet with a bulging belly stood behind Abraham and said, "I'm the one who said you were fired." Abraham turned around and saw the man, Robby Menzel, who was the site manager of the construction project. "Why was I fired, sir? I didn't do anything wrong," he asked. "Your only mistake was making Mr. Johan Fernandes upset with you." Abraham's eyes widened at the mention of Johan Fernandes' name. "Johan Fernandes is the son of the owner of the construction company responsible for building this building. He doesn't want to see you here anymore, so you better get out of here before Mr. Johan Fernandes comes." Inevitably, Abraham turned around and picked up his bag and coat. He could get another job. He didn't want to work for the man who had taken Tamara from him. "Why don't you take off your helmet and vest? Are you going to steal them and sell them? You're a poor man with a thief's mentality," said Mr. Robby. Abraham let out a long breath from his mouth to calm his emotions, as he took off his helmet and vest. What did he take the helmet and vest for? Who wants to sell them where, even if someone wants to buy them, The price can't even be used to buy a loaf of bread. After that, he left the worker's locker room with the intention of returning to his apartment. With all the problems that had happened to him since last night, he really needed a break before thinking about what he should do in the future. However, it seemed like it was really his unlucky day because before he could leave the construction site, the same sports car he saw in front of Tamara's house was parked in front of him. Johan Fernandes, wearing a suit and sunglasses, got out of the car. Taking off his glasses, Johan Fernandes looked at Abraham from foot to head. "I already said that I don't want to see this disgusting rat here again," he said. Mr. Robby Menzel, who had come running when he saw Johan Fernandes, was now beside Abraham. He bowed to Johan Fernandes. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fernandes. I have dismissed him as you ordered." "Then why is this rat still here?" Mr. Robby Menzel turned to Abraham with a glare. "Why are you still here? Hurry up and leave! Are you a dog, so you don't understand human language?" "If you can't even tell the difference between dogs and rats and humans, maybe you two should see a psychiatrist," Abraham said sarcastically, before he left the two men who insulted him. "How dare he insult me!" cursed Johan Fernandes.Mr. Robby Menzel bent down to calm Johan Fernandes down. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fernandes. Next time, I will be more careful about accepting workers."Abraham's steps were quick with his chest still puffed out. He may currently only work as a lowly construction worker. However, he would not let his pride be trampled on by anyone."Shit!" cursed Abraham as he kicked the metal of the bus stop.The people at the bus stop stared at Abraham in astonishment, some even whispering to their friends that he was crazy and they should keep their distance from him. When the bus arrived, Abraham boarded along with the other passengers. He took his place at the very back of the four-seater. Even though the seat next to him was empty, none of the passengers wanted to sit near him, they chose to stand rather than sit near Abraham who they thought was crazy.Abraham stared at his cell phone screen which was blinking to show an incoming voice call from an unknown number. "Hello," he said when he received the c
"Yes, yes, of course you won't confess. If all criminals confessed, the jail would be full."A woman wearing a different uniform from the waitress approached Abraham. Her name tag said that she was the manager of the place. She looked at Abraham from head to toe."Excuse me, but this place is a private area that no one can enter. Only VIP guests have access to this place. You seem to have strayed quite far, sir," said the restaurant manager whose golden blonde hair was neatly curled back."I am not lost, Miss...," Abraham paused to read the manager's name tag, "Miss Rossa Gultier.""Then may I see your access card, sir," Rossa asked, still trying to look friendly."How about you call Mr. Raphael Jones over here? He happens to have my access card.”The man beside Rossa Gultier said, "Ms. Gultier, I think we should call the police immediately. He can't possibly know Mr. Raphael Jones who is Mr. Antonio Sephard's personal assistant."Rossa Gultier looked at her employee for a moment, the
Antonio picked up the white cloth on the table and wiped his lips. He laughed as if something was tickling him. "You think I would get my hands dirty for that gold digger? I gave her money that could have supported her for a lifetime, but because of her poor mentality, she used that money for partying every night, drugs, and gambling. Some say she died of an overdose, but others say she became a pimp in a brothel in Bosch. Whichever one is true doesn't matter because she broke up with you for money in the first place." Abraham was silent listening to Antonio's explanation. He didn't know if he could believe what his grandfather had said or not, but he had been looking for his mother in Bosch for a year and hadn't found her. The purpose of finding his mother disappeared after he met Tamara and got married. If he hadn't met his grandfather, he probably wouldn't have remembered his ultimate goal. "Being rich is a privilege, Abraham. You were given that by being born into the Sephardic
Their journey continued until the car stopped in the parking lot of a famous boutique that no one could enter. The driver who had gotten out earlier opened the car door for Abraham, then bowed."Young Master, I'm sorry, but I have to take a call for a moment. I'll catch up with you shortly," Raphael said.Abraham nodded his head in permission. The man, whose clothes were still shabby, walked alone to the entrance of the boutique. Before entering the main room, there was a waiting room guarded by a receptionist. The woman standing at the reception desk walked up to Abraham as soon as she saw him.The receptionist looked at Abraham from head to toe. "I'm sorry, sir, you seem to have gotten lost. Perhaps you'd like to go to the shop up ahead."Abraham frowned, then remembered that there was a second-hand clothing store not far from the boutique."No, I'd like to visit this shop," Abraham replied."I don't mean to belittle you. But, just so you know, this boutique can only be entered by V
The employees of the boutique brought out their latest collections, even those that had not been shown in the fashion show were brought out by them based on direct instructions from the boutique owner. Abraham, who didn't want to bother choosing, just pointed to each collection and asked for it to be wrapped. He had already changed into a neat suit."Mr. Abraham Sephard, wouldn't you like to see our shoe and tie collection? We have some limited edition models that I am sure you will like very much.""Just take everything out, I'll have a look."The employee serving Abraham immediately gave the code to his colleagues for them to take out the collection he was referring to."Please follow me, sir. Those collections are in a different room. That room is exclusively for our crown card holders. All the collections are limited edition because only one is made, so they are very exclusive."While Abraham went into the room mentioned by the boutique staff, Gerald was still in the main room sel
"Who are you?" Abraham asked, looking at the woman wearing the hat."I'm just going to give you a ride to the hotel up ahead. So, please give me a ride," the woman pleaded.A confused Abraham only frowned at her request.Raphael opened the front door of the car. "Young Master, are you alright?""Yes, I'm fine.""Who is that woman? Should I call the police to arrest her?"The woman snorted in annoyance. "Gosh, sir, I just wanted to hitchhike for a while. I have no intention of stealing or killing so you should call the police."Abraham glanced sharply at the woman, then turned his gaze to Raphael. "Come in, Mr. Jones. Just let him ride until the intersection ahead."Raphael complied and got into the car."Why are we still here? Hurry up and tell your driver to leave," the woman said, then quickly lowered her head as a group of people carrying cameras walked up beside Abraham's car. "Oh my, hurry up and get this car moving!" whispered the woman who seemed to be hiding.Abraham's car spe
Abraham re-read the contract between his company and Fernandez Construction. He smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the contract could be canceled at any time if the second party, which referred to Fernandez Construction, violated the contract."Mr. Jones, immediately form a new audit team to cross-check the Hill Palace Hotel construction site," Abraham pleaded after closing the document in front of him. "Form it secretly because I believe Fernandez Construction has insiders in this company.""Okay, I'll do it immediately.""Tell the team to check in detail all the details of the tools and materials. Bring one of the technicians to thoroughly check the condition of the foundation that was just done."Raphael frowned. "But, why do you suddenly want to conduct an audit? Besides, according to the report, the audit team has just conducted an inspection there.""I don't believe in the results," said Abraham who paused for a moment, "I know that they are cheating because I work there.
The woman, who was holding Abraham's arm, laughed softly while covering her mouth with one hand. It made Johan look furious, the fine wrinkles between his eyebrows and the set of his jaw visible."Just because you got a new prey, doesn't mean you're higher than me. A gigolo is a gigolo, no matter what its name is," Johan said. He put his arm around Tamara's shoulders and continued, "A classy woman like you is only compatible with a man like me, darling. Look at how disgusting that poor ex-husband is. He sold his body for a set meal at a Michelin-star restaurant.""At least that body is all he has," Tamara interjected, looking at Abraham with disgust. "He must be frustrated that he can't enjoy my luxurious perks. So he's doing everything he can, to live comfortably without having to work hard. What a useless, ignorant man!"Abraham's face looked very calm, even smiling a little at the insults from the couple in front of him. He was silent not because he could not reply to them, but bec
