Edward seemed to blink his eyes for a while. He understood that his wife was beginning to feel suspicious of him. But it was not time for Edward to tell her about his identity, even to his own wife.“Hahaha...,” Edward laughed out loud in response to his wife's words. “You're funny, darling. You're not under the influence of alcohol, are you?”“No, I'm not. I'm even very sane right now.” Roselyn stared intently at her husband.Edward was thinking hard. Looking for a way to take his wife's mind off it.Jealousy.Yes, only with jealousy, a woman would no longer focus on her other thoughts.“Why the silence?” Roselin put more pressure on Edward to answer her question. “Perhaps my suspicions are correct. Look at me. I so easily got the contract with Marcosta's company.”“Hey! You're thinking too much, honey,” Edward said, trying to reassure his wife. “I am not Mr. Steel, the new chairman of the Marcosta company.”“Then where were you when Mr. Steel appeared on the virtual screen?”Edward
A woman wearing an office suit was seen running around a little towards a room.“Is Mr. Alan here?” the woman asked another woman who was also wearing an office suit, but still in a sitting position.“He is. What is it?”“Please tell Mr. Alan that Miss Briel is having a tantrum in her office,” the newly arrived woman said to the woman sitting behind the desk. “I need to get back there immediately to make sure that Miss Briel doesn't destroy any more of her room.”“Yes, I'll tell Mr. Alan.”Meanwhile, inside a room, a beautiful woman was throwing around the decorations in her office. “Roselyn, damn it!” screeched Briel. “You've ruined all the plans I had carefully laid out to gain control of Tarwar Construction Company. You don't deserve to even be the vice chairman of Tarwar Construction Company. Only I am more qualified to work on the hotel construction project.”Suddenly, the door to her room was opened from outside and Alan, her brother, appeared.“Why did you destroy your room, h
The three men who were Lady Senorita's messengers were now present in the family hall.Roselyn stared at the three men with an incredulous look. They were the construction workers employed by her.“Ed, you must have seen them right?” asked Roselyn frantically. “I had no idea that those three men were my grandmother's men.”Edward only smiled slightly. He looked relaxed and even flat-faced, not surprised at all.“There are hundreds of people working at the hotel construction site.” Edward still looked relaxed in his sitting position. “We can be missed by three people, it's a normal thing.”“But those three people could destroy my family, Edward.” Roselyn looked annoyed by Edward's casual attitude. Edward brought his face closer to his wife's. “Seeing your face like this, I feel like teasing you again.”“Hish! How annoying!”Lily, who had been listening to Edward and Roselyn's conversation, immediately held her stomach. She felt nauseous listening to her daughter-in-law's babbling that
Lady Senorita hurriedly stepped towards the entrance of the hall to greet Sir Robert.“Please come in, Mr. Robert.” Lady Senorita seemed to be slightly seeking the old man's attention. “Your coming to this place is an honor for our family.”“Thank you, ma'am.”Carol smiled broadly. She felt that Mr. Robert's appearance would be an added attraction to tonight's show. Mr. Robert had to see Roselyn's failure for himself.“I came here to tell you something.” The old man then turned to his guards. “Drag them here!”Everyone looked horrified. The six men who had their hands tied behind their backs were thrown to the front of the hall.Alan immediately widened his eyes. His body instantly trembled as cold sweat began to drip from his forehead.The six men who were now sitting at the front of the hall were the six men he had ordered to become fake policemen, to sabotage the three large trucks that were actually filled with the best level of building materials.Even Alan's position was so clos
This afternoon was an unforgettable moment for the Roselyn family. They left the family hall feeling very satisfied.All the family members were talking about the defeat of Carol and her two children.Alan was still holding back the rush of anger in his chest. His eyes looked at Edward, cruelly waiting for him, thinking that Edward, who had been regarded as trash, was able to force him to kneel and prostrate himself at his feet.Alan said to himself, 'This damn loser has made me lose face. Let's see, I'll kill him sooner or later!'Lady Senorita was still trying to maintain her image in front of Robert. Soon she opened her mouth and said: "I am very happy that Tarwar Construction Company can finally level up by winning this contract."All the family members, including Carol and her husband as well as her two sons who had no face, were still listening to the old lady's words with distress.She continued. "Every family member should hurry up and prepare themselves during this period. Yo
A man in his fifties was sitting in a room lit only by the glow of the fireplace.In his hand was a shot glass filled with Cragganmore 12 with a high alcohol content. He was drowning in the bitterness of his past that had left him with a broken heart."Jillian Marcos." His other hand seemed to be rubbing the surface of a photo figurine of a beautiful brown-haired woman with a gentle smile and amber irises. "Why do you prefer that lowly bodyguard? Don't you know that I love you very much?"He was Jason Falcon, the main heir of the Falcon family. His life was only dedicated to revenge and spreading hatred especially towards the Marcos family."You must be at peace in your death." Jason laughed with a grin. "I was kind enough to send your first born to keep you company."He brought the shot glass to his mouth. The hot liquid felt like it was flowing down his throat, then he threw the small glass at the wall until it shattered on the floor.He continued. "But I failed to deliver your thir
Roselyn closed her eyes and prayed. Hoping that her fears would not come true."Hello, Miss Emily. How did the chairman answer?”Emily's voice rang again, "Miss Jhonson, the chairman said that he has agreed, and will be coming to your family dinner!""Really?" asked Roselyn, squealing quite often due to her excitement. "Sorry, Miss Emily, this is just an expression of my happiness.""That's okay, Miss. I totally understand." Emily's chuckling voice could be heard from the other end of the line."This is wonderful news, thank you for your help, and thank you to the Chairman for agreeing." Roselyn suddenly became very excited. She had not expected that the mysterious chairman of the Marcosta company would actually agree to it."Glad I could help you, Miss Jhonson."After the phone call with Emily was disconnected, Roselyn approached Edward who had finished breakfast."How was it?" asked Edward with a look of ignorance on his face.Roselyn immediately jumped for joy. "He's coming, Ed! He
Alan and Briel looked at each other. They had deliberately come to Lady Senorita's study to sway the old woman's mind to change her decision.Alan was still adamant. “Grandmother, you can't let him become the vice chairman of our company!”Lady Senorita looked at her two silent grandchildren with a smile full of mystery. She asked again, “Why can't I make Roselyn the vice chairman? She has already won a contract with a fantastic value. She is the company's hero and deserves it.”Briel sneered. “I have something to show you, Gran. I hope you don't have a heart attack.”Lady Senorita's old face instantly turned flat, but there was curiosity in the news Briel brought.“What did you want to show me, Briel?”Briel handed her grandmother her cell phone. She then said, “These are the pictures Roselyn sent my confidant to monitor all her activities.”Lady Senorita's old eyes stared at the screen of Briel's cell phone. Her index finger moved to scroll through the photos of Roselyn with a man t
