While Angela quickly wanted to retreat after hearing her superior's words, the man named Marco Ivanov rushed over, grabbed her by the collar, slapped her across the face with a punch, and cursed, "You really are a rotten son of a bitch! You even dare to offend the young master. You really are blind, blind eyes!"Angela fell to the ground from the slap, she said tearfully, "Boss, forgive me, I'm blind, please spare me this time! I don't know who that man is."Now Angela, immediately knelt together in front of Marco Ivanov."Forgive you for making me almost embarrassed in front of the young master?" Marco Ivanov instantly grabbed Angela's hair and pulled her face up, then hit the beautiful face with a fist. The woman was instantly knocked to the floor.With one punch and another from Marco Ivanov's hand, the woman's face was already full of blood.Marco Ivanov turned to Angela who was now on the floor. "You want to make me die silly, huh? Before that happens, I'd better kill you first!
Erick, who was standing beside Alan, sighed. "Alan, your reputation is huge. I think he seems to be the one next to Mr. Ivanov. It seems that Mr. Ivanov attaches so much importance to you that he sent Dante Moretti who is his confidant to serve you. Do you know Mr. Moretti? Didn't you hear him? Yes, you are really humble."Alan laughed and said with a satisfied face: "No need to show off this kind of thing. It's better to stay humble! Hahahaha!"Diana was a little surprised.Unexpectedly, Alan really had connections in the town of Riverside, compared to Edward, who was much stronger.It seemed that in the future if she walked into the town of Riverside with Alan, it would be much more convenient for her daily activities. At least Alan would be able to be asked for help if she was in danger.So Diana thought.Danger? What kind of danger was Diana in?Dante Moretti, the man in black, respectfully led everyone to the room with the diamond box menu.After that, he took out the list, hande
Alan pretended to be calm and said to Sergei Volkov. "There must have been a misunderstanding. I ordered this diamond box in advance, and I paid a deposit of five hundred thousand dollars!"Erick also interjected. "What are you doing? This box menu has been arranged by Alan Johnson. Do you have any rules?"Sergei Volkov spat and slapped Alan until he fell down and said, "Gold box? So you actually just ordered a gold box. Don't you know that this room is a diamond box menu room, huh? You're a fucking garbage man!"As soon as these words came out of Sergei Volkov's mouth, everyone was stunned.What? Diamond box menu?No wonder this box menu is so luxurious, and the dishes and wines are among the best. It turned out that it wasn't a gold box at all.Erick, whose family level was only slightly higher than the Johnson family, broke out in a cold sweat, and the diamond box menu was so respectable that he was not qualified to enter with Alan Johnson and his friends, let alone use it.Briel q
Seeing Sergei Volkov so cruel, not just to a man but to a woman as well, made Diana shiver with fear. She wanted to seek refuge on Edward's back, and the two of them were almost close to each other.At such a crucial moment, Roselyn's jealousy was aroused. She felt like she was about to be swarmed by a smelly fly, and it needed to be swatted away immediately."Diana, come here," Roselyn said, pulling Diana to her husband's back.Edward was momentarily dumbfounded and felt a thick aura of jealousy from his wife's direction.At this moment, Sergei Volkov saw Edward, Roselyn and Diana in one corner of the diamond box room, and gave orders to his burly men. "Did you see the three of them? Beat them to death! How dare they occupy the diamond box that I prepared for the honored guests. They are equally guilty!"Earlier, Dante Moretti, who had served Edward and his entourage on Mr. Ivanov's orders, had left the diamond box, so when Sergei Volkov arrived, he did not know about it.Edward dism
Alan, Erick and Briel instantly panicked. What did Edward mean by settling for a cruel man like Marco Ivanov?It was possible that they would receive further torture that might be much harsher.Marco Ivanov immediately said, "Mr. Edward, don't worry, I will arrange for an ambulance to send them to the hospital for treatment!""Yes." Edward nodded and said, "In that case, my wife and I and my wife's friend will leave first."Alan, Briel and Erick could instantly breathe a sigh of relief.Diana was a little dazed and followed Edward and Roselyn who seemed to be clinging to her husband, out of the Imperial Blossom Resort and Restaurant in a daze.Coming out of the Imperial Blossom Resort and Restaurant, Diana could not calm down for a long time.Looking at Edward, who looked like a fine person, she only felt as if there was something inside Edward that was covered in a layer of fog, mysterious and profound.Diana Blunt was no fool and clearly came from the third richest family in the tow
The next day in the morning, at Diamond Height Palace.A woman was seen coming out of a room belonging to Jason falcon with a frightened face. Even she still hadn't fully put on her clothes again. She even crawled out of the room.She was the woman who had given Jason satisfaction last night, but was treated like a dog when she was no longer needed.Darren and the two bodyguards standing not far from the door of the room could only stare in concern without being able to help.Again!The two bodyguards thought, as it was not a first sight for them.Darren, who had a cold temperament, not much different from his boss, did not care about the situation. He stepped into his boss's private room.The Falcon family had a luxurious mansion that was like a palace, but Jason preferred to spend time in his private room at the Diamond Height Palace, the largest and most luxurious hotel currently in the town of Riverside.Upon arriving in the room, Darren saw Jason who had just stepped out of the b
Leaving Diana Blunt with the chaos of her life after being under the threat of Jason Falcon, we now see Emily Algren walking towards Edward's office.She reports the incident to Edward.Once Edward heard that Diana wanted to see him, he became more wary than ever."I never expected that this woman would actually come looking for me." Edward was tapping his fingers on his desk. "But for what? What is her real purpose?""This surprised me too, Chairman." Emily made a regretful face for having ignored Edward's suspicions and overreacted to his words. "Although she was appointed as the presenter of the presentation materials, her capacity as an employee in the business development department should never have been connected to you, Chairman. Please forgive my negligence."Emily felt that she made a mistake and this was the first time in her life history while working at the Marcosta company and always being the confidant of the number one person in the giant company."It's okay, I will tr
It was already 7pm, but Diana Blunt still hadn't left her office at the Marcosta company.An hour ago she had changed into an outfit that would make her look beautiful at dinner with Edward. She did not know that Edward had invited Roselyn."Why hasn't Edward picked me up yet," murmured Diana who felt anxious.Diana did not know that Edward picked up Roselyn at 5 pm, but because Roselyn's appearance was so beautiful, Edward felt unable to resist devouring his wife at that moment.Yes, while Diana was upset waiting for Edward to pick her up in her office, in Roselyn's office at Tarwar Construction Company, Edward was making love to Roselyn.Suddenly his cell phone rings. A big smile graced her lips as Edward's name appeared on her cell phone screen."Hi, Ed," Diana said in a slightly sighing and familiar voice."Hi, Diana. I've arrived at the street across from the Marcosta company building," Edward said from the other end of the line.Diana frowned. "Why didn't you bring your car into
A maid was seen walking towards the indoor swimming pool inside the Marcos mansion.“Young lady, here are your bathrobes,” said the maid.“Thank you,” Maria said, and exited the indoor pool.She dried her body, then exited the indoor pool area on the first floor. While walking in the corridor while playing with her cell phone, she accidentally collided with a maid until the maid fell down.“Oh, sorry,” she squealed. But suddenly she was surprised because the maid was crying. “What's wrong with you? Did something happen?”The maid just shook her head while occasionally looking at Maria. But soon she fainted.“Oh my God! Why did you faint?” squealed Maria. As her hand pulled off the mask covering the maid's face, she was instantly startled. “Roselyn?”She immediately called for a bodyguard to take Roselyn to the guest room on the first floor. He quickly carried Roselyn to the guest room, while Maria followed with a worried look on her face.After 15 minutes, a doctor arrived and immedia
Jason pulled the trigger in desperation, hoping the bullet would penetrate Edward's defenses.Edward closed his eyes as the bullet struck his body. Surprisingly, the bullet only pierced through thin air and staggered his body without any significant effect.Edward, still standing tall. Ivanov, who was about to push Edward, was now frozen in place.Edward himself was astonished that the bullet could not penetrate his body, like shooting a rock.Edward said to himself, 'This must be the power of The Arcane Codex of the Seven Heavens. Really great,'Jason was shocked and further cornered. Cold sweat ran down his forehead as he saw Edward's unwavering expression of confidence.Edward approached with calm steps, and as Jason tried to move back, Edward paralyzed him with one swift movement.“This is for my brother who you killed,” Edward said angrily. He pinned Jason against the wall and pressed him down with impressive force.“And this is for my mom's tears, and for Maria, my sister, who a
Edward, and everyone present turned their heads towards the person standing. She was Roselyn Johnson, the representative of Tarwar Construction Company.Edward's body trembled as he saw the woman he was still married to standing and staring at him. What surprised Edward was her pale face.Slowly but surely, the people present began to stand up, even until all 40 company representatives stood up.The sound of applause slowly began to be heard as the representatives sat down again. Amidst the anxiety and worry, they had high hopes for Edward.“I thank you for your trust. I will make sure that you will never regret the decision you all made,” Edward said. His heart was deeply moved.The meeting came to an end. Everyone who had come had begun to leave the hall with determination and hope for something better.After the meeting was over, Roselyn stood with an indecisive feeling. There was a sense of relief to see that many company representatives chose to support Marcosta, but on the other
Tension was in the air. On a stage, there was a long table with five chairs. Edward sat in the center. This time there were no sunglasses, masks or dim lighting.Edward stood proud and dignified as Mr. Steel. He wore a black suit that exuded firmness and power.In front of him, Marcosta's top brass, business associates, and media awaited with anticipation. This was the moment where he, as Mr. Steel, would show the world who he was and how he would lead the company that his grandpa had inherited, well.With a deep breath and a keen eye, Edward began his remarks. His voice was firm and full of conviction, every word he spoke containing a power that could not be ignored.“Today, I, whom you know as Mr. Steel, stand here not only as the principal heir to the Marcos family, but as a leader determined to maintain the honor of the family and this company. The Marcosta Company has been a symbol of excellence and integrity for decades, and I will ensure that it remains where it belongs.”Cheer
The next morning, a slow drizzle of rain fell, soaking the ground that had been prepared for Salvour Marcos' final resting place. The overcast sky seemed to mourn him, adding to the somber atmosphere that surrounded the morning. A deep sense of loss emanated from every drop of rain, as if nature also felt the departure of such a precious figure. In the midst of this sorrowful atmosphere, Salvour Marcos' body would soon be buried, leaving unforgettable memories for those left behind.Edward was still standing on the balcony of his room when Maria entered. Maria took her brother's hand and rested her head on Edward's shoulder.“Grandpa doesn't need your regrets,” Maria said, trying to revive her brother. “He needs you to stand up and show your strength. The company is in crisis and needs you to take action, Ed. And one more thing, don't keep blaming yourself.”“I know.”Robert entered after he knocked on the door first. Everyone was dressed in black this time.“We leave now for the cem
A black sedan darted quickly through the deserted streets of the Town of Riverside. The rain was falling gently, like a whisper of sorrow that enveloped the night. The drops that fell from the sky brought a sense of sadness, as if nature was mourning the passing of Salvour Marcos, the revered patriarch of the Marcos family. Every drizzle that touched the ground was as if it were the sky's tears crying for the departed figure, making the dark night even more somber and silent.Inside the car, there were three women lost in their own thoughts. Lily, who was behind the wheel, tried to remain calm, even though her heart was raging. All she had in mind was a way to reconcile Roselyn and Edward. They must not get divorced.In the slow-moving car, Roselyn sat silently with a blank look, occasionally wiping her face with a tissue, wiping away the tears that continued to flow despite her best efforts to hold them back. Her face looked pale, and inside her, there was an inner battle that nev
Edward looked in the direction of the voice. It was Maria.“I called you many times, but the operator always answered,” Maria squealed. “I remembered that you were going to see your wife, so I followed you here.”“But she didn't believe me, Maria.” Edward looked still depressed. “I had to go after her.”“No, Ed! Listen to me!”“No! I must go after Roselyn. She must see this evidence.” Edward's face was red with the pressure-filled frustration of his problems with Roselyn going crazy.“Stop dwelling on your personal problems, Ed!” Maria yelled at the top of her lungs and began to get carried away. “Snap out of it! Don't keep drowning in your own personal problems and ignore what's far more important.”Edward was in a daze. But my wife-”Soon a loud slapping sound was heard, followed by Edward's body being slammed to the floor with a bang as well.So annoyed with her brother's sudden stupid and annoying behavior, Maria slapped him hard.Edward was silent for a moment. There was a sense o
“Turn around! Get to Marcosta's company right now!” Robert ordered the driver sternly.“What's wrong, Robert?” asked a surprised Maria.Robert told her the news he had received from Emily Algren's men. The woman had even been admitted to the ICU of Elite Serenity Hospital, which was located not far from Marcosta's company building.By now, the car Robert and Maria were traveling in had arrived at Marcosta's company.“What happened? Why isn't there an escort for Miss Algren?” Robert asked in a high tone of voice due to emotion.All the security team as well as Miss Algren's bodyguards could only look down because they felt they had failed. Only one of them dared to speak because he was the one who found her lying on the floor of his office covered in blood.“So Alexander did it?” asked Robert.“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard nodded with certainty. “He was seen walking fast and did come out of the emergency exit. He said he was in a hurry and we believed him. We thought there was an intruder.
Currently at the Marcosta company, the clock was only 11pm.A black Porsche Panamera, which all employees knew belonged to Alexander Marcos, was seen entering the company yard and stopped in front of the company lobby.“Good afternoon, Mr. Alex,” greeted the security guard at the lobby.“Good afternoon,” Alex replied in a friendly manner. It was uncharacteristic.The security guard was surprised, but ignored him.Alex continued to walk into the Marcosta company building with seemingly calm steps, even though the trembling inside him continued to haunt him.He still remembered Jason Falcon's threat that was still ringing clearly in his mind, making his every step heavy.Alex walked with his heart saying, 'I have to finish this right now,'Alex kept convincing himself that what he was about to do was right. The safety of his wife and children was his top priority.'I can't imagine what Jason would do to me and my family. Ah, damn it! Why didn't I think about the consequences of joining
