Derek could only nod slowly, fear enveloping his entire body. Edward stood back up and signaled Emily Algren's bodyguards.

“Drag him away from here,” Edward ordered firmly.

Emily's bodyguards quickly approached Derek, pulling him roughly off the floor. Derek's limp and helpless body was dragged out of the room, like a street dog. Each tug made Derek feel more and more like his bones were falling out of his joints.

Now Edward turned to Hugo who was still frozen after seeing his son being dragged like a street dog.

Edward looked at Hugo sharply, as if penetrating the lies he might be hiding. He stepped closer, the sound of his shoes echoing in the suddenly quiet room after Derek was dragged out.

Emily Algren stood beside him, her face implying the same tension.

“Mr. Vesper,” Edward began in a low but threatening voice.

Hugo's body trembled again. He looked down in fear at Edward's frightening voice. “I-yes, sir.”

“Do you know the consequences if you play around with us?” asked Edward

    Night fell with stars decorating the sky, although the snow was still falling although not as thick as the previous days.Inside the house, Edward stood in front of the mirror, wearing black jeans, a black t-shirt and a plaid shirt outer, the same as he always wore when going to college... He checked his simple appearance and straightened his hair.In the same room, Roselyn was preparing herself in a simple outfit-a long navy blue dress that was not too flashy and light makeup that only emphasized her beauty.Edward gazed at Roselyn from the mirror, his eyes unable to escape his wife who looked amazing despite her simplicity. “You look very beautiful,” he said in a voice full of admiration.Roselyn smiled, blushing slightly. “Thank you, Ed. You also look very handsome tonight.”Edward approached Roselyn and took her hand. “You will always be beautiful in my eyes at any moment, no matter what you wear.”They smiled at each other before leaving for Dexter's restaurant. That night, the t

    Edward and Roselyn were very happy that night. They were not only spending time with old friends, but also reaffirming a long-standing relationship. That night, they went home with warm hearts and fond memories.On the way home, Roselyn, who was actually still curious about the whispers of the invited guests with Edward, finally asked.“Ed.”“Yes, Sweetheart,” Edward said without turning around.“Don't you want to explain to me about that BMW of yours that people were talking about at the reunion?” asked Roselyn, making Edward a little surprised because he didn't expect Roslyn to finally ask. “I'm just as curious as they are.”Edward explained to her. He told Roselyn that this BMW 520i he bought was a test car modified by a shop called Platinum Prestige Autos. “They have modified the car to make users think that it is very powerful,” Edward explained.Roselyn didn't know much about cars, so she just believed the ridiculous story.As for the ancient painting, it had already been expla

    Roselyn added her words. “Even though today is our wedding anniversary, it doesn't need to be so grand like this?”Edward smiled and said, “Today is our third wedding anniversary. Of course it should be formal and special. I have reserved a special place and the arrangements for tonight are guaranteed to satisfy you.”He had been doing a good job of keeping secrets lately, and his wife did not doubt it.Roselyn smiled lightly, and she was deeply moved by all the things her husband was doing, although there were still many questions in her heart.In the first two years of their wedding anniversary, the two spent time at home leisurely. Although it was not unusual, Edward at the time did not even have any money. He was only able to prepare a few small gifts for her to please his wife.However, this year Edward was not his usual self and remained mysterious, but instead left her unable to guess what new trick her husband wanted to pull.After a while, they both changed their clothes, th

    Cassie just spoke without the slightest filter on her words, not caring about Roselyn's feelings at all.Roselyn couldn't stand it, and immediately said coldly, “Cassie, what do you mean? My husband, it's not your right to comment.”Cassie closed her mouth and smiled sarcastically, and said, “You didn't look down on me when I was in college. How could you be considered a golden flower if you had bad money at the time? Now that you don't marry well, you don't want me to talk about it, do you?”Edward was very unhappy when he heard this. This Cassie, who was indecent when she was in school, relied on a decent face to hook up with a rich man, and now she was lucky to be married into a rich family. Is she really a rich and young lady?Moreover, she dared to laugh at his wife? Edward would never be able to tolerate that one.To Edward, this woman was truly seeking her own death!Thinking of this, a burst of anger surged in his heart. So he took out his cell phone and contacted the preside

    After satisfactorily relaying the information about Cassie, Edward smiled and said to Roselyn, “Wife, let them bite each other like dogs, let's go.”To Edward, that was a fitting punishment for someone who dared to insult his wife. Perhaps even if the insults were directed at him.The Edward of today was not the Edward of old who would give in so easily.He took Roselyn's hand and walked towards the staircase with a rotating design towards the glass suspension bridge.Roselyn's beautiful eyes trembled, and she was shocked and could not believe it. How did Edward know so much about Cassie's dark history?Thinking of this, her gaze could not help but stare at Edward, and she could not believe it and asked, “Where did you get the information of Cassie's dark past? Indeed, when did you become a scout?”“I didn't do it, dear. Besides, where did I get that kind of ability?” Edward said with a laugh, “A classmate back in college was obsessed with Cassie, but Cassie ignored him and even bulli

    Speaking of this, Roselyn cried even more. At this moment, she felt that all the grievances she had suffered for the past three years had not been in vain.No matter how Edward did all this, at least for now, she was very happy, and tonight she was the happiest woman in the town of Riverside.Through the misty opaque crystal glass, the entire town of Riverside saw this magnificent wedding.While many people were extremely envious, they were also guessing in their hearts, who was the couple getting married on the artificial island?Moreover, these two people were too mysterious. Was their wedding only attended by the two of them, no relatives or friends, not even witnesses? It's a pity.Even though there were quite a lot of people in the luxurious building in the center of the island, most of them were men.They were actually the troops prepared by Edward, just in case there was any threatening danger that might come in the future.On the crystal stage, Edward took Roselyn's hand and t

    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
