No one could accept the reality where a life that was once always luxurious had to drastically change to the life of the lowest class of society.Just a few weeks ago, before the news of bankruptcy hit her, Mrs. Patterson always looked down on lower-class people.But, as people often say, life keeps spinning, and the laws of nature always apply.Maybe that's what's happening to Mrs. Patterson's family now. They've become poor and are experiencing a much harder life than the people Mrs. Patterson used to disdain."You poor woman! Get out of here! You don't belong in this place!" A woman chased her away without any guilt.Her eyes looked sharp. There was not a single hint of pity on the woman's face."Please, don't do this. I just want to buy some food. I'm also a human being, just like you. So, don't act like this. Please, at least respect me not as someone from a prestigious family but as a human being."Mrs. Patterson's voice sounded pleading. She had to do this to ensure her family
William looked silently at Mrs. Patterson with a cynical look."I need your help, William. I really regret trusting that scoundrel. Please, you're the only one I can ask for help right now. I beg you, help me. I really regret all the stupidity I did in trusting that bastard!"The words that Mrs. Patterson previously uttered to William continued to ring in his ears.Seeing how the Patterson family's dignity had been destroyed, William considered helping her."What you have done has gone too far, Thomas! A cunning and wicked man like you doesn't deserve to live in this world." William cynical his stare.His fists clenched so tightly that it indicated how his emotions were now starting to spread throughout his body.Previously, William remained motionless without saying a single word to Nyonya Patterson. He didn't know how she would react to his attitude, but the fact was that William didn't know how to react at that time.He picked up his phone, very curious about the news that had happ
"Give me a glass of beer, Miss," the man in front of her ordered.The bartender girl nodded her head after hearing the request from the man. With a slow movement, she managed to grab the drink that had to be served to the customer.However, something unexpected happened to her, and she couldn't avoid it. The girl had to experience it again."Here you go, sir. Your order is ready," she said, handing the glass of beer to the old man in front of her.She then placed the tray, which had a dark brown color, on the bar table. Slowly, she began to lower the glass from the tray.Clang! Perhaps she wasn't focused, or something else happened. Suddenly, the glass of beer could not be held and fell.Reflexively, the old man in front of her stood up with an unfriendly look on his face."Goddammit! What have you done, you stupid girl! Not only did you take forever to make my drink, now you've spilled it all over my expensive jacket. Are your eyes not functioning properly that you can't even hold a
"Alright, thanks. I'll send the contract agreement to your company email today. Hopefully, our companies can work together and achieve success, sir. Please feel free to check out some of the products we've produced."Aside from expanding their general business, one branch of the Frank family's company also ventured into a new business by producing beverages and antique items with fantastic values in the international market.It seemed like the Frank family didn't want to miss the opportunity to progress and thrive, as they continued to add innovations to their company's products.Whenever they saw a chance and opportunity through their business lenses, the founders of the Frank family's company would immediately jump in and work on the new business until it yielded the best results.It couldn't be denied that thanks to all the efforts and methods implemented by the Frank family, their company is now known throughout various regions.Slowly but surely, the position of the Frank family'
William now stared straight at the woman, who held a little baby boy in her arms, sleeping soundly. For some reason, there was a burning and fiery feeling inside William when he looked at the little boy's face, which resembled his father, Thomas.However, despite his feelings, William certainly hid all his frustration. He still welcomed the presence of his former sister-in-law and former nephew as a friend.Seeing the condition of the child and mother really made William feel sorry. He didn't have the heart to chase them away in an inhumane way, as the idea of committing such a crime crossed his mind."Thank goodness you have realized all the foolishness you did. I warned you back then. But, you didn't want to listen to me. So, you certainly can't blame me for what happened to you now, former sister-in-law," William looked at his former sister-in-law with a flat expression.Occasionally, William seemed to roll his eyes to avoid making direct eye contact with them. There was just an un
Now, a man in his sharp outfit began to enter the elevator that was exclusively for people with high positions in the Frank family company.Everyone seemed to bow their heads to show their respect to the man who still lingered in their memories as the former CEO of the Frank family company.But now, the company leader had been replaced by William.The man's face looked expressionless, without a hint of emotion. "Good morning, Mr. Sandy! It feels like it's been a while since I've seen you in the Frank family company headquarters."One of the female secretaries, who had once been impressed by the appearance of the former CEO, spoke up.Perhaps that sense of admiration still existed until this very moment. Unfortunately, Sandy never once looked back at her.Although sad and painful for never receiving any reciprocation for her feelings, the female secretary didn't care about that bitter reality.She still loved and admired the man, not knowing if he already had someone in his heart or no
William slowly opened his eyes as he realized there was something weighing down on his body at that moment. It didn't feel like the usual pillow he used, this time it felt much heavier. In addition, William quickly opened his eyes as he realized that something on his stomach was moving freely."Yawn.. James? Is that you?"William's still unclear vision couldn't quickly recognize who was on top of his stomach.The figure just remained silent but could vaguely be caught by William's sight, how a perfect smile appeared on the face of the person pinning him down."You naughty boy! Is it that hard to answer the question your father asked? What are you doing here, hm? Your father is still sleeping. Didn't you knock on the door first? Where is the nanny who takes care of you? Why are you here?"James, who was being asked like that, just remained silent. He then lay his body right on top of William, hugging his foster father tightly."Can I ask you something?"James, who had grown into a hand
A sound is heard hitting something.A throw of something soft made many eyes gaze in the direction of the source of the sound. Sharp gazes so terrifying, fierce behavior from a group of cold-blooded humans. Who caused trouble everywhere and tortured the helpless."Are you so afraid of death? Whether I kill you or not is my business, your chance is only to pray and wait." A man with a sturdy and muscular body wearing all black clothes stared sharply at someone. Snide and very mysterious.The man just stayed silent with a scared feeling, he was confused about what to do now. He didn't want to die in vain in their grasp. "Sir, I beg you, please don't kill me, please spare this life." The man pleaded desperately, hoping there was hope for him to be released.Will they really let the man go just like that? Even though they knew he had no fault. The massacre they did, the random killings were so frightening."Keep asking me here, I will listen to you speak, the time and place are up to us."
