Salvour sighed deeply, his eyes seemingly looking into the distant past. "Ah, the Falcon family. Jason Falcon was an ambitious man, though his path was different from what I expected."

Robert, who had been standing faithfully by the side, stated, "The Falcon family and Marcos do have a complicated history, young sir."

Salvour nodded seriously. "Yes, Robert is right. Originally, I had hoped that Jillian would be the bond between the Marcos family and the Falcon family. However, fate had other plans. Jillian chose Nicolas Steel, and now I have Edward as the fruit of that relationship."

Edward listened attentively. "Grandfather, is Jason Falcon still after me?"

Salvour gave Edward a sharp look. "Absolutely. Jason Falcon is a man who will stop at nothing before he gets what he wants. He is a vengeful man. You must be careful, Edward. Take care of your wife too, because from my spies, Jason Falcon already knows that Mr. Steel is among the Johnson family. He may also be after your wife."

Apparently there are people who want to compete with me,'Slowly, the BMW that had just stopped opened its window. Everyone present there was wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing."Oh, isn't that Edward the smelly carpet?""You're right. He's even worse than a stinking carpet. Perhaps rotten is more appropriate for him.""It looks like Roselyn is sitting next to him. Back then, he was the one who liked to eat leftovers in the cafeteria, but he came driving a BMW too.""Hey, don't be fooled. You must know that Roselyn is already the vice chairman of her family's company. It must be Roselyn who bought that car!"Derek also saw Edward in the car and said with a grim expression, "It's this trash! How could he be so lucky?"At this moment, a curious-looking

"What happened, Roselyn?Roselyn only let out a rude sign. "You know Derek Vesper?""Sure. He's one of those guys who used to like you like Andrew Winstone," Merry replied.

    Derek tried one last maneuver, but he was too late. Edward streaked across the finish line, leaving Derek a few meters behind.The crowd cheered, celebrating Edward's victory. Derek stopped at high speed, his car screeching as the tires scraped the asphalt. He got out of the car with a shaking body, but he was not willing to pay tribute to Edward.Lucas and Max, who were Derek's close friends, looked closer, while Derek could only smile wryly.

Roselyn said proudly."Thank you, Wife," said Edward who was still tightly hugging his wife's tall slender body.Diana also congratulated him. "You really are a great driver, Edward."Edward smiled, feeling relieved and satisfied with his victory.

    Edward laughed out loud at Vincent's words. Although he said quietly, Roselyn and Dexter who were two meters in front of them could hear him."That's just an issue. Of course I have quality time with my wife, in fact almost every night we travel to heaven on earth," Edward said, making Roselyn glare with a flushed face."Then when will you and Roselyn have a baby?"Roselyn couldn't help but blush when she heard the two whispering. Edward smiled and said, "Stop this useless talk. When the time comes, I will tell you. You will be an uncle!""That's right!" Dexter nodded repeatedly, and said: "When that day comes, I will gift-wrap a big box that I will deliver directly to your home address."At this time, a woman with heavy makeup and ordinary appearance came up to Dexter and asked, "Dexter, who are these two?""This is my college friend, Edward! And this is the golden flower of our college, Roselyn, and now Edward's wife," Dexter replied.The woman wearing heavy makeup looked at Edward

    Emily Algren paused for a moment, perhaps surprised by the request. "Mr. Steel, are you sure? Mr. Vesper has worked in this company for many years and has a good track record."Edward let out a long sigh. "I am very sure, Ms. Algren. He committed fraud with the construction of the hotel, which is now almost 70% complete. I heard from his son's mouth that his father will get 10 to 20 thousand dollars of profit from the construction of the hotel even though he did not contribute anything.""I understand, sir.""Fire him as soon as the evidence is gathered and make sure all procedures are followed properly." Edward spoke firmly.Emily nodded, even though Edward could not see her. "Yes, Chairman. I will look into her involvement and take care of it as soon as the evidence is gathered.""Thank you, Ms. Algren. Please also make sure that this process does not raise any suspicions or cause a big commotion in the company.""I will make sure everything goes smoothly, Mr. Steel."Edward hung up

Please don't be stubborn, otherwise you'll be embarrassed!

    Edward turned to Roselyn with a gaze as warm as the sun. "Trust me when I say that I didn't buy it for that much."Roselyn frowned. "Why am I not convinced by your words, Ed?""I saw an art exhibition before I picked you up, darling." Edward tried to reassure his wife. "It turned out to be a charity auction and many works of art were on display there, one of which was that painting. I bought it quite cheaply."The frown on Roselyn's forehead did not diminish by a millimeter, but she had nothing to say to Edward again. Roselyn chose to remain silent.Meanwhile, Derek, who was sitting near Edward, really wanted to die right now.Derek said to himself, 'Oh shit! What's wrong with my life today?

    After the commotion at the Johnson family's company, Edward left Tarwar Construction Company, the Johnson family's company.He had to collect his thoughts for a while before continuing on to Marcosta's company."They always look down on me, when they're the ones being tacky," Edward muttered with a snort.The luxurious BMW he was driving drove quietly down the road, bringing with it an aura of calm that was in stark contrast to the excitement he had just experienced.Last night, as Edward and Roselyn lay in bed, Edward spoke softly to Roselyn about his plans."Tomorrow afternoon I have to go out of town, to Valleria City," Edward said. "There are special building materials that can only be obtained from that city for our hotel project."Roselyn's face looked surprised at this impromptu news. "But that city is so far away, Ed." Roselyn seemed to disagree."I have no other choice, dear." Edward's face showed resignation."If I wasn't busy at my family's company, I might have come," Rose

    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.

    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.

    “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
