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
Roselyn looked at Edward and asked hesitantly, “Edward, do you think it's okay?”Edward was silent and thought hard. After all, this car was not really the lowest BMW 520i 5-series car, but the top BMW 760 7-series car that had only been produced a few years ago.Edward knew that Lily didn't really appreciate Javier, just like Lily always looked down on him. The BMW 760 was too luxurious for an old man like javier.Thinking of this, Edward hurriedly said, “Listen to me first, Dad. This car is a BMW 520, and is the last model of the 5 series is also the lowest series, nicknamed the beggar version. If you drive this car, you will be laughed at."Lily furrowed her brows. "You're not bragging, Edward. Ah, I see, you're saying that because you're reluctant to give this car to my husband, right?"Edward hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, Mom. There's no way I'm reluctant to give this car to my father-in-law. I only thought of my father-in-law's good name. I thought, "I can't let my father-i
Another male salesperson who had been working at the Regal Ride Autos store just yesterday looked on. "Where? Is it the man who was wearing a dark gray coat and just got off the bus?"“That's right.”The salesgirl who had only been working for a day was incredulous. "Ah, you must be bragging. If he can buy a car at such a high price, then why did he get off the bus?"“Haven't you ever heard of the habits of rich people,” said the saleswoman who had worked at the Regal Ride Autos store for a long time. "With so much money and their glamorous lives, they get bored sometimes. They'll take the bus and even eat at cheap roadside stalls."“You're right, too.” The saleswoman who had just worked yesterday seemed to nod her head. “Then if you kneel down for him today, and manage to sell him an Audi A9 equipped with the best features, I'm sure the store manager will definitely give us a big bonus!”“Yes!”The two salesmen rushed out and approached Edward. “Sir, come to our store to see the late
Edward was very annoyed at the pair of dogs, and immediately took out his cell phone and called Dexter.As soon as Dexter found out that Edward had called him, he immediately said excitedly. “Edward, how are you? Why did you think to call me?”Edward said lightly. "I called you just to say hello. What are you doing right now?"Dexter replied, “I'm helping out in the kitchen located at the back of the restaurant. It's not too late in the day, and I don't have any reports to check in my room, so I thought I'd help out in the kitchen, as Viviane requested. Viviane said that a good boss would always help out in the kitchen."“Is that so?”“Yes, it is,” Dexter replied.Edward asked, “Are you busy at the restaurant every day?”Dexter replied, “Yes, the restaurant has just opened, and there's a lot going on. Also, more than half of the money in this restaurant comes from Viviane's father. If I didn't work harder, they would look down on me."Edward asked again: “How much money did you invest
Edward nodded slowly. “All right, Grandpa. I will support your decision.”Edward was actually hesitant to accept his grandpa's decision. But he did not want to disappoint the old man. For Salvour Marcos, his decision was the right one. He felt that he had deprived Jillian of her right to give up her status as the youngest child of the Marcos family in order to be with her boyfriend who was a bodyguard.Jillian lived in poverty and never saw a penny of the Marcos family's money and treasure until she died, while her three older siblings, Alexander, Isabelle and Benjamin, lived a life of pleasure and wealth, without a care in the world for their little sister.It was only fitting that Salvour Marcos now made Edward the main heir to the Marcos family fortune that would last forty generations.Salvour Marcos smiled and took Edward's hand. “Thank you, Edward. I knew I could count on you.”Edward felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but he knew this was a responsibility he had to face. He
Javier doesn't have the ability to make a lot of money, but he has many dreams of becoming rich. He likes to shop in the Whispering Pines Avenue area when he has nothing to do. He wanted to get a peek into his dreams, but in recent years, he had experienced scams from bad guys claiming to be antique collectors.That activity had stopped for a while before, but he did not expect that it would not only not completely stop, as it turned out that his desire to hunt antiques was rekindled.Seeing that Edward even dared to point at him, Javier coldly snorted and said, “Don't talk so much nonsense! Now just take me to the Whispering Pines Avenue area."Edward had no choice but to comply with his father-in-law's wishes. So he had to drive Javier to the Whispering Pines Avenue area."Okay, Dad. I'll comply if that's what you want. The important thing is that I warned you,” Edward said.He couldn't waste any time because tonight there would be a dinner where all the Marcos family members would
Maria's heart skipped a beat. The tension peaked when Maria decided to come out of her hiding place.After making sure her ears no longer heard the sound of the door being knocked on, Maria decided to come out of her hiding place.The laundry room in the Marcos mansion was a sizable room filled with piles of fabric, detergent, and a large washing machine. Maria hid behind a tall pile of towels, covering herself so tightly that even Alexander's two bodyguards who entered couldn't find her.Maria opened the laundry room door and saw that the corridor was deserted. "Looks like things are pretty safe. I need to get to the second floor and tell grandpa what I heard," Maria muttered.She exited slowly and walked slowly to the elevator. The Marcos mansion was a large, palace-like mansion that was luxurious and grand. The mansion consisted of three floors with luxuriously shaped staircases and an elegant elevator. Somehow, Maria twisted her leg and fell. She squealed, and it was heard by A
Natalia snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I'm afraid, if I don't come, maybe you will ruin all the ancient things in this shop!"Bradley Kensington smiled wryly and quickly replied: "I'm sorry, Miss. It wasn't me.""Then who?" asked Natalia."A customer accidentally broke the urn while looking at it. His son-in-law tried to fix it with egg whites. "Bradley seemed to glance at Edward. "I was just about to say that such repairs are pointless, and I would like to talk to them about paying money damages."Natalia stared at the ancient urn that now stood on the table after being repaired by Edward. She watched for a moment, her expression suddenly changing!Then, she immediately turned around and scolded Bradley Kensington and said, "Quickly show me who the person was who had repaired the ancient urn with the egg white method earlier."Bradley Kensington was immediately stunned: "Miss, who are you referring to?"Natalia said angrily. "The person who repaired this ancient urn. This urn is
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
