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
The middle-aged man who was inside his office seemed to be talking to another man who was far away from him in age.“I told you to be careful, Kyle.” The middle-aged man pointed right at Kyle's face which showed no panic at all. “I told you not to let anyone know about you. You must remember that I'm watching your every move.”“I'm sorry, Uncle.” Kyle tried to convince Jason, his uncle. “By making it known that I'm part of the Falcon family, I just wanted to make her feel admiration for me.”“But there's no second time around.” Jason gave his nephew a stern warning. “Your job is to approach the Jhonson family just to find out which woman old Salvour's grandson married.”Jason sat back in his chair while Kyle kept a straight face. Ever since he licked his uncle's feet to get a position in their family company, Kyle felt like his life was like a remote-controlled robot.Kyle said to himself, 'Maybe when I get stronger in the company and you get older, I'll be the one to get rid of you,
Edward glanced sharply at the woman's service. There was an ID card hanging from the woman's neck.“So your name is Rose? Really, your words have upset me,” Edward said. “It doesn't match the meaning of your name.”His intention was to buy jewelry, but he was treated badly at night by this waitress named Rose.Suddenly, two security guards entered the store. “Show us who is the person who wants to rob this shop!” screamed a security guard while girdling his waist. “Him!”Fred, a male waiter who had earlier expressed his thoughts about Edward being one of the robbers to Kelly, now stood up and pointed directly at Edward.Edward was surprised to be pointed out directly like that. His eyes narrowed to stare at the male servant. “What do you mean by accusing me like that? I clearly did not come here to rob but to buy jewelry.”Some of the shop's patrons, along with people who happened to be passing by on the street in front of the shop, immediately gathered to watch the incident.“Don't
