Inside a special room with luxurious decorations and a large screen inside the Diamond Heights Palace, Jason Falcon was laughing loudly at the opera performance of the lowly people in his eyes.
“What a lowly performance,” he muttered.
Meanwhile, Kyle, who was also watching the events on the big screen, straightened his back.
He said to himself, 'Isn't it Roselyn who got the cooperation with Marcosta's company? But why is Briel the vice chairman of Tarwar Construction Company? There must be an act of sabotage,'
As the owner of Diamond Heights Palace, of course Jason Falcon had access to every corner of the hotel, including he who
The crowd of banquet guests seemed to explode in an instant, and no one expected Emily Algren to say such a thing.This sudden change left everyone dumbfounded.“This news is bound to explode. Anything related to the Marcos family always attracts people's attention.”“This is a big disaster for the Jhonson family. They have offended the Marcos family.”“What an interesting show. Let's see how deep they will fall.”The guests again exchanged comments with each other. Lady Senorita's face paled instantly and asked with a feeling like she had just been dropped from a great height, “Dear Miss Emily, what's going on? Is there something in the Jhonson family that has made a mistake?”Today, she invited all the businessmen from all walks of life in the town of Riverside who had a good reputation, hoping to take this opportunity to become famous in the town of Riverside.It was true as the people who were talking said, that today was not happiness for the Jhonson family, but a great disaster
From the moment Roselyn first contacted Miss Emily, she had activated the loudspeaker button so that everyone gathered in the park could listen, especially her family.No one would have guessed that Miss Emily's reply sounded painfulRoselyn furrowed her brow. “But why, Miss? Has my family made a mistake?”“Yes. And what they have done is a fatal mistake,” Miss Emily insisted.“Can you tell me what that was?” asked Roselyn in confusion.“As originally agreed, our chairman awarded the contract to Tarwar Construction Company because he saw you, Miss Jhonson,” said Miss Emily with a sigh. “If in the end the hotel construction project was to be entrusted to someone other than you, Miss Roselyn Jhonson, we should have canceled the contract.”Now Roselyn understood what all the fuss was about. Roselyn turned to her grandmother who had a pleading look on her face.“Miss Emily, my grandmother has changed her decision and I will be promoted to vice chairman of our family-owned company, in charg
At Carol's family home, she was a little overwhelmed by her daughter's attitude, who had been sulking and not even wanting to eat since her cancellation as vice chairman of the company.“Come on, Briel. You're not a child.” Carol was still trying to persuade Briel who didn't want to eat. “At least grandma didn't remove your position. Alan is waiting for you to go to the office together.”“I don't want to, Mom! I'm even sick of looking at his face.” Briel imagined Roselyn sitting in the vice chair with an arrogant style while pointing at her like a street dog. “I want to calm down.”Carol gave up on persuading her foolish daughter for not getting up to retaliate. She left Briel's room to return to the dining room.“What do you think?” asked Roman, Carol's husband. “Does she want to come down here and have breakfast together?” His face looked worried.Carol just shrugged her shoulders and smacked her lips. She didn't want to say anything because she was also upset about everything that h
A beautiful and elegant-looking woman was sitting in a room. Suddenly, there was a knock on her door from outside. A man dressed all in black appeared from behind the door.“What's wrong?” asked the woman named Bella who worked at the Grand Royal Manor.“There's a visitor making a scene and he wants the manager of this hotel to come and see him,” explained the man in black. “Alright. Let me be the one to go there!”Edward, who was still stuck in the hotel lobby, immediately turned his head when a woman's exclamation suddenly came from inside the hotel door.Raising his head, Edward saw a woman who walked with her body swaying, wearing an office suit with thick makeup on her face, and wriggled out of the hotel.Edward's face was slightly dumbfounded as he settled on the woman. He silently said, 'Isn't she Bella? My classmate in college? The change is so big. I almost didn't recognize her,'Seeing the glamorous girl, the two black-clad security guards at the door hurriedly bowed and cal

Edward was still staring intently at Bella. Meanwhile, Bella still looked indifferent to Edward.“You're wrong, Bella. My bed is always hot with Roselyn. We often spend nights of passion and pleasure together,” Edward said.Suddenly, a black man in a top-notch suit came running out in a panic.He was the dog of the Marcos family and a very powerful and influential dog in the town of Riverside.Ever since he took office in the town of Riverside and became the president director of the Grand Royal Manor, he had been one of the most respected people in town. He was never afraid to face anyone.But this time he seemed very panicked, and never dreamed that the young master would show up at the Grand Royal Manor where he was in charge.Bella was about to continue her mockery of Edward, but suddenly she saw the men dressed in all black who were the hotel security guards currently standing around her, looking back with horrified faces.When she turned her head subconsciously, she suddenly fou
Thomas Brown nodded hastily, and said respectfully: “Mr. Edward, let me take you to the place as you wish.”Edward nodded and went ahead while Thomas walked behind. But he paused beside one of the security guards and whispered so Edward wouldn't hear him. “Hit her hard! She has embarrassed me.”“Alright, President Thomas!”Bella's face instantly paled full of fear that made her almost crazy after Edward and President Thomas left. In front of her were three men grinning at her.How could she dare to do what she wanted with Edward? The three security officers immediately rushed to hold Bella to hit her.Meanwhile, Edward, who did not know that Bella was being beaten, continued to walk towards a room that was always used as a meeting place for the board of directors with luxurious yet relaxed interiors.Under the guidance of Thomas Brown who nodded and bowed, he entered the meeting room of the board of directors with luxurious yet relaxed interiors.“Have a seat, Mr. Steel,” Thomas said
Edward removed his sunglasses to ascertain who the person who had overtaken his car was. From inside the mercy car came out a man known to both Edward and Roselyn. He was wearing a suit from a famous designer.“What does he mean by doing that?” asked Edward. He immediately got out of the car followed by Roselyn who also got out.The man who got out of the Mercy car was Andrew Winstone.“Hello, Roselyn,” greeted Andrew kindly.Andrew clearly saw Edward too, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, looking him up and down, and smiled: “Where did you find a fake suit like this? At first glance, it looks similar to a suit with a famous brand, but I'm sure it's a fake. You know, a suit like this would only make the person wearing it look like a dog.”Edward asked calmly: “Then, what's the problem with you? Whether I wear a suit with a real brand that costs millions of dollars or a fake brand suit, it has nothing to do with you.”The corners of Andrew's mouth curled up, with a hint of sarcasm on
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
