2024-04-17 20:07:03At that time, Edward and Roselyn got a message sent simultaneously. It was an emergency message from Roselyn's family whenever their family had a big problem and it would automatically be sent to every member of their family.
The message said that they had to come to the hall immediately to discuss the company's problems. But there was no mention of the current problem. Roselyn and Edward looked at each other with furrowed brows. They wondered about what had happened and together went to the hall to find out.
When they walked into the hall, everyone was already there, gathered and sitting in their respective seats while their grandmother was at the front along with her secretary.
"Mom, what happened?" asked Roselyn to her mother as she entered the hall.
"I don't know. Your grandmother is not in a good mood right now. I think it's a serious matter. About the company," she told her. Lily's face was no less panicked than everyone else's.
Roselyn gave everyone a worried look.
"Come on, we'd better sit down and let your grandmother explain what's going on with the company," Lily said, pulling Roselyn's hand and inviting her to sit on a chair.
But, the moment they sat down, as well as Edward, Lily stood up with an angry face.
"What are you doing?!" she snapped. "Don't sit here! Stand in that corner over there!" she shouted as she pointed to the corner of the room with her hand. Everyone there looked at Edward with a condescending look and smiled smugly at the way Lily was treating her son-in-law.
"Alright," Edward replied. He did what his mother-in-law told him to do without getting angry and saying anything back. He stood in the corner of the room. Staring at everyone who was there, then dropped his gaze to his grandmother who began to speak.
"I told you to gather in the hall to discuss company matters. This is the biggest crisis our company has faced," Senorita began to explain what had happened.
She swallowed hard. Before speaking again.
"The company is suffering huge losses and is currently on the verge of bankruptcy. And we need to do something to prevent it. Because if we don't, the huge impact could make us lose the company that I've been building all this time. Of course, you don't want to fall into poverty because of this problem," she said.
Everyone there glared in disbelief. Shocked by what Senorita had said. They were shocked and scared by the news of the company going bankrupt. They were afraid that they would become poor.
"So, I want you to tell me all your thoughts on how to get our company through this crisis. And make sure that the company doesn't go bankrupt."
Everyone was silent with their pale faces. Too anxious and scared to think clearly. Let alone propose the best way to solve all the problems that were happening.
"Sorry, I wanted toー" Before Edward could finish his sentence, Roselyn's cousin interrupted him with a sharp tone.
"Look who's raising his hand. Do you want to give us your silly idea?!" Cousin Roselyn shouted. She looked at Edward with a condescending gaze.
"We shouldn't expect much from the loser. He's just a poor guy who doesn't know anything. How could he possibly know how to save the company."
"That's right. It would ruin the company even more if we let him give us his ideas!"
Everyone there mocked and belittled Edward, but no one tried to defend him. Especially Roselyn and Lily who just stood by and watched everything.
Edward tried to hold back his emotions as he still respected them as Roselyn's family. And he didn't want to ruin this meeting and make the atmosphere even more tense. That was why he gave in. Letting everyone belittle him with all the harsh words they gave Edward.
"We should think about this matter well and find a way out together," said Roselyn's cousin. "But for sure, we will work hard to make the company safe again."
"That's right. This is a serious problem," Roselyn's uncle said.
"Then tell me what you can do to solve all these problems! Because if we don't find a way quickly, our company could go bankrupt in no time," Senorita said. Her eyes trembled with fear and anxiety.
This was a company that she had looked after for years. The one she had worked so hard to make grow to where it is today. And just because of one problem, she could not let the company go bankrupt and fall into poverty.
"Marcos Company is looking for a construction company to work with!" Edward spoke up in a loud voice. And everyone who was there immediately looked at Edward.
"You better shut up!" Cousin Roselyn shouted.
"Yeah, we didn't ask about your opinion!"
"What a loser!"
"Shut up all of you!" exclaimed Senorita. She looked at Edward with a serious face. "Can you explain in detail what you're talking about?" she asked Edward.
Everyone there immediately scowled in annoyance as their grandmother was much more interested in listening to Edward's nonsense than they were.
"Marcos' company is looking for a construction company to do a cooperative project. You can check that it is the largest company in the city. So, you can submit a cooperation proposal to their company. And if they accept it, we can save our company from bankruptcy," Edward explained. He took a deep breath before speaking again. "With that deal, they'll give us a huge amount of money. And we can close our company's crisis with that pitch."
"And then?"
"With that cooperation, our company will also gain fame. And some companies will be interested in cooperating with our company. Because they know, it's very difficult to cooperate with Marco's company. That is, if you can get the deal."
Senorita was silent for a while. She was thinking about what Edward had said.
"Hm, that seems like a good idea," she said, then. "All of you! Contact Marcos' company immediately to offer the partnership!"

But she also felt scared and anxious if she didn't get the project."So, did you meet with the president of Marcosta Company?" asked Edward with a big smile on his face."Yes, and today I will be coming to their company for a presentation," Roselyn informed. She touched her chest which felt rumbling. "But I feel uneasy if I can't win this project.""I'm very grateful to hear that and I'm sure you can get the project. You are very talented and smart. And the president can see how talented you are.""But still... I will also do my best to be recognized," Roselyn said."Don't worry. You will do well. I will pray for your success.

"Young Master, when would you like to begin the presentation?" Robert asked Edward. "Has your wife's cousin arrived and where is your wife?""She is in the toilet. That's why I can come here," he replied, "I want you to go to the meeting room and be the examiner for them. And make sure you put a camera there so I can check the presentation from my office," he ordered."Yes, Young Master. I've already sent someone to do that because I know you're unlikely to come to the presentation considering you don't want anyone to know about your identity."Edward smiled. "Good job, Robert. You are indeed reliable.""Is there anything else I should do, Young Master?""Yes, it's about their presentation. Make sure that Roselyn gets the contract, and not her cousin. Because I know Roselyn much better than her cousin," he replied with a long sigh.

"What do you mean by talking like that?!" shouted Lily, sounding thunderous from the other end of the line. "You can't talk nonsense, Rubbish!"Edward swallowed hard. Remaining patient with everything his mother-in-law said. "I'm not talking nonsense, Mom. She's not here."If Edward was currently in the presence of Lily, his mother-in-law, perhaps he could see how red Lily's face was at this moment, holding back the anger that was exploding within her."I will find her," he said then."That's the way it should be. Besides being a loser you're also a useless husband!"Edward's ears were still ringing after hearing Lily's voice continue to shout, even though their conversation was only over the phone.Edward hurriedly searched for Roselyn. The only place he remembered was the restroom, because Roselyn had said that she would go to the restroom first before carrying out the presentation."She must be in the restroom," muttered Edward as he continued to walk quickly towards the restroom.

Robert seemed to stand up while looking at Roselyn who was still standing in the doorway.He did not see any Edward behind Roselyn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
