This afternoon was an unforgettable moment for the Roselyn family. They left the family hall feeling very satisfied.All the family members were talking about the defeat of Carol and her two children.Alan was still holding back the rush of anger in his chest. His eyes looked at Edward, cruelly waiting for him, thinking that Edward, who had been regarded as trash, was able to force him to kneel and prostrate himself at his feet.Alan said to himself, 'This damn loser has made me lose face. Let's see, I'll kill him sooner or later!'Lady Senorita was still trying to maintain her image in front of Robert. Soon she opened her mouth and said: "I am very happy that Tarwar Construction Company can finally level up by winning this contract."All the family members, including Carol and her husband as well as her two sons who had no face, were still listening to the old lady's words with distress.She continued. "Every family member should hurry up and prepare themselves during this period. Yo
A man in his fifties was sitting in a room lit only by the glow of the fireplace.In his hand was a shot glass filled with Cragganmore 12 with a high alcohol content. He was drowning in the bitterness of his past that had left him with a broken heart."Jillian Marcos." His other hand seemed to be rubbing the surface of a photo figurine of a beautiful brown-haired woman with a gentle smile and amber irises. "Why do you prefer that lowly bodyguard? Don't you know that I love you very much?"He was Jason Falcon, the main heir of the Falcon family. His life was only dedicated to revenge and spreading hatred especially towards the Marcos family."You must be at peace in your death." Jason laughed with a grin. "I was kind enough to send your first born to keep you company."He brought the shot glass to his mouth. The hot liquid felt like it was flowing down his throat, then he threw the small glass at the wall until it shattered on the floor.He continued. "But I failed to deliver your thir
Roselyn closed her eyes and prayed. Hoping that her fears would not come true."Hello, Miss Emily. How did the chairman answer?”Emily's voice rang again, "Miss Jhonson, the chairman said that he has agreed, and will be coming to your family dinner!""Really?" asked Roselyn, squealing quite often due to her excitement. "Sorry, Miss Emily, this is just an expression of my happiness.""That's okay, Miss. I totally understand." Emily's chuckling voice could be heard from the other end of the line."This is wonderful news, thank you for your help, and thank you to the Chairman for agreeing." Roselyn suddenly became very excited. She had not expected that the mysterious chairman of the Marcosta company would actually agree to it."Glad I could help you, Miss Jhonson."After the phone call with Emily was disconnected, Roselyn approached Edward who had finished breakfast."How was it?" asked Edward with a look of ignorance on his face.Roselyn immediately jumped for joy. "He's coming, Ed! He
Alan and Briel looked at each other. They had deliberately come to Lady Senorita's study to sway the old woman's mind to change her decision.Alan was still adamant. “Grandmother, you can't let him become the vice chairman of our company!”Lady Senorita looked at her two silent grandchildren with a smile full of mystery. She asked again, “Why can't I make Roselyn the vice chairman? She has already won a contract with a fantastic value. She is the company's hero and deserves it.”Briel sneered. “I have something to show you, Gran. I hope you don't have a heart attack.”Lady Senorita's old face instantly turned flat, but there was curiosity in the news Briel brought.“What did you want to show me, Briel?”Briel handed her grandmother her cell phone. She then said, “These are the pictures Roselyn sent my confidant to monitor all her activities.”Lady Senorita's old eyes stared at the screen of Briel's cell phone. Her index finger moved to scroll through the photos of Roselyn with a man t
The middle-aged man who was inside his office seemed to be talking to another man who was far away from him in age.“I told you to be careful, Kyle.” The middle-aged man pointed right at Kyle's face which showed no panic at all. “I told you not to let anyone know about you. You must remember that I'm watching your every move.”“I'm sorry, Uncle.” Kyle tried to convince Jason, his uncle. “By making it known that I'm part of the Falcon family, I just wanted to make her feel admiration for me.”“But there's no second time around.” Jason gave his nephew a stern warning. “Your job is to approach the Jhonson family just to find out which woman old Salvour's grandson married.”Jason sat back in his chair while Kyle kept a straight face. Ever since he licked his uncle's feet to get a position in their family company, Kyle felt like his life was like a remote-controlled robot.Kyle said to himself, 'Maybe when I get stronger in the company and you get older, I'll be the one to get rid of you,
Edward glanced sharply at the woman's service. There was an ID card hanging from the woman's neck.“So your name is Rose? Really, your words have upset me,” Edward said. “It doesn't match the meaning of your name.”His intention was to buy jewelry, but he was treated badly at night by this waitress named Rose.Suddenly, two security guards entered the store. “Show us who is the person who wants to rob this shop!” screamed a security guard while girdling his waist. “Him!”Fred, a male waiter who had earlier expressed his thoughts about Edward being one of the robbers to Kelly, now stood up and pointed directly at Edward.Edward was surprised to be pointed out directly like that. His eyes narrowed to stare at the male servant. “What do you mean by accusing me like that? I clearly did not come here to rob but to buy jewelry.”Some of the shop's patrons, along with people who happened to be passing by on the street in front of the shop, immediately gathered to watch the incident.“Don't
Five minutes later, right at the entrance of the Glamorous Jewel Gallery, a Bugatti La Voiture Noire suddenly stopped. Then two other cars stopped in front and behind that car. Twelve bodyguards in black suits got out.They held black leather briefcases in their hands. Their muscles were tense, their faces were serious, and they were all cold and deadly, and even the atmosphere around them became terrifying.This scene greatly shocked the entire audience of the Glamorous Jewel Gallery. They immediately whispered.“Where did these big men come from?”“Perhaps the man who looks like a dirty hobo is not lying.”Seeing such a big show, Kelly was also surprised. She said to herself, 'Is that really the person the dirty hobo called? But now that I think about it, how could that be possible?!'Everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped open when they saw Mr. Robert get out of the Bugatti La Voiture Noire and walk into the Glamorous Jewel Gallery.Kelly immediately got up to greet him, b
Seeing that Edward looked doubtful, Robert immediately said to him, “Young sir, since he intends to give this jewelry freely as an apology to you, please accept it. Otherwise, he will not even be able to sleep at night.”Edward turned to Robert, then nodded gently: “Well, then I will accept your gift. I thank you.”Seeing Edward accept the necklace of pure white gold set with rare red diamonds, Donald immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if he could escape the pursuit of the grim reaper.If Edward did not accept this necklace, he was really afraid that Robert would not let him go. With his power, Robert could easily destroy someone.It was his loyalty to the Marcos family that made him quite respected. Being the number 1 confidant of the Marcos family, besides Miss Emily of course.At this moment, Robert asked Edward, “Young master, would you like me to take you home?”“No.” Edward waved his hand and said, “Where is the back door? I will go through the back door myself.”“
