"What?" Mr. Celeste, Mrs. Bernita, and Ariana were all shocked beyond belief upon hearing this.They looked at each other in confusion before Mrs. Bernita shouted angrily at Joshua. "What are you saying, damn it? Since when is my father no longer the Pasaraya Director? I'm his daughter, and even if he no longer holds this place, it should be given to me. You dare to talk nonsense like this. Have you thought about the consequences?""In this lifetime, I have never said anything meaningless. Madam, to me, facts are everything, so there's no way I would just speak like this, especially in front of you," said Joshua, who was still calm.In front of the three powerful people, he may have looked like a lamb ready to be slaughtered, but he was actually a wolf with very sharp fangs."You!" Mrs. Bernita was left speechless as her anger reached its peak.At the shop opposite, which sold branded perfumes, Delilah and Daran were busy wandering around with their hands full of shopping bags.They k
Joshua did not respond, sending the atmosphere into an eerie silence.An enraged Mr Celeste raised his right hand, signalling his bodyguards to surround the Velvet Vault and forbid everyone from capturing this in photos or videos.Delilah and Daran continued to try to rebel while shouting apologies to Mrs Bernita, which were completely ignored.The visitors criticising Mrs. Bernita fell silent in the face of this situation. And Joshua's silence they took as fear for having lied."So you can't call him here? Manager Joshua, I have long questioned your origins. Now seems like the perfect time to show the world that you're a fraud trying to rob other people's businesses!" exclaimed Mrs. Bernita, pointing Joshua right in the face.The young man who didn't like being pointed at instantly turned sour, and he stepped back two steps.Even so, his mouth did not open to say a word.Whispers that cornered Joshua began to be heard. This made Ariana secretly smile happily as the bad situation had
It didn't take long for the public to be shocked by the news of Ethan, the CEO of Pasaraya Grant.The man who was once known as the son-in-law of Celeste's family, the poor loser who married into a rich family using many tricks, as well as the man who became a burden on his wife's family, now in a short period of time suddenly turned into the CEO of two very famous places.No one would have expected this. Even some people who disliked Ethan from the start continued to try to deny this fact. They believe that this is just a mistake and a game of journalists who want to create a stir.But they forget that something like this wouldn't exist if the people concerned didn't speak out. In the released article, it is clear that Ethan and Great Master Grant stand side by side in confirming the current ownership of Pasaraya.Not yet done with the shock, Velvet Vault suddenly released a social media post stating that Mireille was the Brand Ambassador.These two blows, in quick succession, were c
"Before saying what I'm here for, I'd like to first thank the media for coming. I also want to apologize. There has been a lot of confusing news lately, and you must have a lot of questions. I didn't mean to create a situation like this, but there are times when I can't help it because I don't live alone in this world." Ethan looked very authoritative and sincere when he said this.The atmosphere in the press conference room became quiet. Everyone was focused on him and eagerly awaiting what he had to say.However, when they heard this, one by one, the people present spoke up, rejecting Ethan's apology, which was not his fault.With this attitude, the public's view of Ethan was even more favorable—a good CEO who others had played. Everyone flocked to him with words of praise and wished him the best."You must be asking about Pasaraya Grant, but I'm not here for that, so I'll just say a few words." Ethan paused his words for a moment and looked at everyone seriously. "It's true, I got
The atmosphere in the living room of the Celeste family's main house was very quiet, listening intently to what Ethan was saying.After he finished, Aiden chuckled softly while leaning his back. Then he said while shaking his head in amazement. "He's completely different, not like the old Ethan. He even boldly revealed the matter of his client's abduction. It seems like there will be a bigger war soon."Then he looked at everyone there with a satisfied smile. "We don't need to think of any plans anymore. He's at war with someone else, wouldn't it be great if we were spectators and waited for his defeat? When that happens, we can cheer him on and stomp him harder, making him the most miserable creature in the world.""What Aiden said is true," said Grand Master Celeste as he looked at his son. "Forget about your plan for now. This kind of situation is better for us to be spectators."However, instead of responding with similar enthusiasm, Mr. Celeste and Ariana stiffened with expressio
"Explain what?" Mr. Celeste looked confused.Of course, that made Grand Master Celeste's anger even more intense. "You're still asking? Albern, do you think you can hide it forever? Look, a policeman is coming to see you upfront. How are you going to explain that?""The police?" Mr. Celeste's body instantly became tense. He looked at Aiden and Alvina in turn. "Is that true?"Aiden's expression changed as he looked at his father this time, but he still answered, "Yes. They brought a sketch of your face.""Explain, Albern!" snapped the impatient Grand Master Celeste.Mr. Celeste's gaze returned to his father. He did look tense, but he didn't look the least bit afraid. In fact, he was still able to say, "Father, I think you've guessed the reason, so there's no need to explain anymore. Besides, there's no need to worry. I won't get into trouble. Just take it easy."The look on Grand Master Celeste's face changed as well. "What do you mean?""We have good lawyers, they should be able to ha
Ethan stretched his body with a smile on his face. Then he turned his chair to face the window, looking up at the sky that was perfectly clear without a single cloud. Apparently, even the sky knew he was in a good mood today.He wasn't doing this for the chief thug who had kidnapped Mr Leif and his wife but for himself.Ethan's smile grew even wider. Just a little more... just a few more steps before Celeste's family was completely destroyed.After taking a deep breath, he got up, grabbed his coat and carried it outside. "Hazel, I want to see the tests that the personal bodyguard did."Suddenly, Hazel, who was typing something, raised her eyes. "Yes, sir."Then she finished her work and followed Ethan in a hurry.Since some reporters were still in front of the building and Ethan was too lazy to look presentable, they chose to exit through the basement.Every security guard recruited by Zenith Corp had its own training ground. It was in a building not far from the company. But if they
During the series of tests, Ethan was really paying close attention. Not because he wanted to choose a personal bodyguard more carefully, but because he felt a new spirit when he saw those who were so serious about the competition.Basically, the 20 men selected were the best in every aspect, so the tests were fierce.During the archery test, there were only three people who scored six and were eliminated right away.For now, the second test was to run through some obstacles."Is this all prepared by him?" asked Ethan as he looked at some media that was transported to the courtyard and placed where it should be."Yes, sir. The Chairman wants personal bodyguards who are tough and can deal with any situation. He doesn't want to be missed and end up with a loss," Hazel replied.Ethan nodded in understanding and looked at the participants who began to undergo the second test.However, his body immediately stiffened when he saw that it was Elio. The man passed all his hurdles with ease and
