All eyes were on the newly arrived BMW. They glanced at each other and asked each other questions.Derek, who had been leaning against his BMW, straightened his back and opened his sunglasses.Derek said to himself, 'Damn! 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
Some of the male classmates such as Lucas, Max, Jerry and some other friends next to him immediately started the excitement. While other friends, especially girls like Alana, Merry and others who were inside the restaurant heard the commotion from outside."What's going on?" a female friend asked.Alana shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, let's see."The women and some of their partners seemed to come out after hearing the noisy commotion outside.Merry approached Roselyn. "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. "What's wrong with him?"Roselyn just massaged the bridge of her nose. "Derek provoked my husband and Edward accepted his challenge."Alana, who overheard Roselyn and Merry's conversation, came closer. "What challenge?"Roselyn looked at Alana. "Derek and Edward are going to have a wild race on the street in front of Dexter's restaurant."Dian
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. His intention to spread charm in front of Roselyn had failed.Roselyn immediately ran over to Edward, hugging him happily. "You're amazing, darling!" 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. He knew that this race was not just about speed, but also about being able to control yourself and the car in stressful situations. And he was able to pr
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
When they heard that Viviane's father was a heritage appraiser, all the classmates in attendance were in an uproar."Let's see, how will that loser fare?""It's really going to be a day of death for Edward.""Poor Edward. He's actually a good person, but somehow a lot of friends look down on him."They thought Edward was really unlucky!Edward had met someone who was an expert in his field, wasn't this tantamount to a slap in the face?If Viviane's father, Viktor McCartney, came by any minute, wouldn't Edward be embarrassed?At this moment Roselyn was actually a little embarrassed too, and whispered to Edward, "Ed, so many friends are watching. Please don't be stubborn, otherwise you'll be embarrassed! You should just admit that it's not an expensive painting."Before coming, Edward did tell Roselyn that he bought a painting, but he said it only had a low price, and now he said it was worth tens of thousands.Roselyn was also a little unnerved by her husband's way of thinking. She fel
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? Looks like I forgot to read the horoscope to see my unlucky day this month. I shouldn't have left the house today,'A friend said to Derek. "Hey, Derek. Why did you lose a bet twice today to Edward?"Derek froze. He felt like vomiting blood getting a question like that.If he could dig a hole to h
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
