The anger on Andrew's father's face grew even crazier after hearing his son's words. Andrew couldn't fight back and just surrendered when a punch landed on his face. His body tumbled backwards mercilessly.The Winstone family lawyer immediately restrained Andrew's father from beating his son further."Calm down, sir. Remember, you have high blood pressure. Don't let your anger get the better of you,” said the lawyer.“How can I be calm when I have a son as stupid as he is!” Andrew's father kept pointing at Andrew. A police officer helped him to his feet.Andrew's father seemed to be normalizing his breathing, with a look of disgust on his face he said to his son, “I don't want to know. You have to do something to make things go back to normal even if you have to beg while crawling."Meanwhile at Tarwar Construction Company, in Roselyn's office, the woman was sitting in her chair.“How long are you here?” she asked Edward who had been staring at her.Edward chuckled. He shifted his ga
“You're not lying, Roselyn?” asked Lily with sparkling eyes. Roselyn, who had just arrived home, told her mom that Edward had received a large bonus from the Marcosta company for helping Roselyn build the 7-star hotel.Edward himself was already in the bathroom to clean up. He had no idea that his wife would make up such a story.“Of course not, Mom.” Roselyn tried to convince her mom. “I even received the money and it's in my bank account.”“That's how useful your husband is.” Lily nodded her head. “Alright, me and your dad will get ready.” Lily went cheerfully to her room.Roselyn only smiled to see her mom that happy. She stepped towards her room to shower and change.It took almost an hour until they were all dressed and gathered in the courtyard. Edward seemed to be starting his car. The four of them immediately got in the car and left the house.Lily, who was sitting in the back, looked at Edward who was driving through the rearview mirror, and said with a rare smile: "Edward,
Edward continued strolling through the rows of rare flowers. His previously gloomy heart warmed up again, seeing the smile of his beautiful wife, who was mesmerized by the beauty of the hanging flower garden.“Ed, do you know any flower shop that sells these clear flowers?” asked Roselyn, pointing to one of the rare flowers.Edward furrowed his brow at his wife's words and then asked, “Why? Do you want these rare flowers?”Roselyn turned to her husband with a hopeful look. “Yes. I want to plant them in our backyard. It seems I would be happy seeing these beautiful flowers every time I come home from work.”“I’ll ask my friend about it.”Roselyn nodded and continued walking to admire the flowers there.Edward glanced towards his in-laws, who were still busy with Julian, who already seemed bored dealing with the two old folks. Edward sneered.He thought to himself, ‘That's what you get for acting overly familiar with my mother-in-law.’Time passed, and the sky grew darker. Edward decide
Days passed, allowing the night to creep away and the bright morning to wave hello. Edward, a man constantly overseeing the construction of his magnificent hotel, walked among rows of busy workers bringing to life his dreams. "It's hard to believe the hotel construction has reached this height," Edward mused.Standing on the top floor of the building under construction, Edward looked out at the workers. The morning sun cast its warm rays onto the yellow helmets of the workers, creating moving shadows as they went about their tasks."How much progress have we made today, John?" Edward's voice cut through the heavy rumble of machinery.John, the head supervisor of the construction, looked at Edward with a satisfied smile. "We've met our daily target, Sir. The project is running smoothly and according to plan."Edward nodded, satisfaction evident on his face. The grand building was taking shape, towering high into the blue sky, challenging the limits of success."I'm very pleased with y
Roselyn and Edward were now in the car. Roselyn's face looked upset. She did not expect her old friend to be so annoying like that.Roselyn turned to her husband who was driving. “Does your face still hurt, Ed?”“A little.” Edward looked back at his wife for a moment and then back at the road ahead. "I didn't think that your friend would hit me when we didn't know each other before and had no problems. He was the one who stirred things up first."“I don't know what he meant by doing that myself,” roselyn said with an annoyed face. She turned to her husband. “Ed.”“Hmm ....”“How about we postpone the romantic dinner we had planned until tomorrow?” asked Roselyn hesitantly.Edward smiled. "No problem. It looks like you really need a long rest."“Thanks, Ed.”Edward turned the car he was driving towards the road back home.Upon arriving home, they only found Javier while Lily was nowhere to be found.Roselyn leaned closer to her dad and kissed him on the cheek. "Didn't mommy call you, D
With an annoyed look on her face, Lily continued her rant and said, “If you had given me plenty of money, I wouldn't have bought this insurance company’s product. With a useless son-in-law like you at home, what other choice do I have to make money?”Edward was considered a poor and useless son-in-law. It was fine if he didn’t support the family. But now, Lily felt her son-in-law was laughing at her for making a wrong move by buying insurance from a fraudulent company.Quickly, she said again to Edward, “I’m telling you, keep shouting those slogans to help me, don’t stop even for a moment!”Edward sighed, then nodded and said, “Alright, Mom.”At that moment, some of Lily’s acquaintances approached, looking Edward up and down, then asked Lily, “Lily, is he your son-in-law?”Another acquaintance also scrutinized Edward’s clothing and shook her head, laughing. “Why does he look so bad? He doesn’t look like a son-in-law in any way.”Lily snorted harshly at her friends’ insults about her s
Julian Caldwell smiled and said, “Auntie, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting!”Lily hurriedly said: "Oh, Julian, you are so polite. Auntie didn't even wait for ten minutes. You came so early from the time you promised!"Julian Caldwell smiled and said, “I heard that you were in trouble, so I drove up and ran several red lights along the way just for you, Auntie.”Lily's heart was instantly touched by this young man's gesture, but she still asked with concern, “Isn't it a hassle to run so many red lights?”“No.” Julian Caldwell said calmly: “The traffic team in this city are all acquaintances of mine, and one phone call from me can easily eliminate any violations.”Lily's eyes rounded with admiration for this young master of the Caldwell family.After speaking, Julian Caldwell said again, “Let's talk about you! How much of your money did they steal?"Julian's face was full of confidence.Lily sighed and said, “A total of more than one million dollars has been invested. Previously, an ins
In the entire town of Riverside, everyone knew that Marco Ivanov was the emperor of the underground, and no one dared to mess with him.Marco Ivanov looked at Jonathan Kingsley, smiled approvingly, and said, “Jonathan Kingsley, I didn't expect you to be such a good person. Good! very good! Hahaha ...."Jonathan Kingsley hurriedly said, “Mr. Ivanov, what about the troublesome Mrs. Johnson downstairs?”Marco Ivanov said indifferently: "That bunch of old people don't seem to care about their lives. If they don't listen to your words, I'll organize a lot of my men to come here and teach them a lesson so that they know themselves."Jonathan Kingsley breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Marco!”Marco Ivanov smiled and said: "In the future, just let go of this kind of dime business. As long as you can make money and can give me half the money, I will help you in any way."Jonathan Kingsley was very surprised, but his face lit up getting such a great favor from the un
