William chuckled at his wife's laugh inducing behavior, "I have to admit that this office has an even better design than mine. I think the Salazar Group could copy this office to make it less boring."Charlotte smiled proudly, "You know, I always try my best, both in business and in office design. It's a good investment to create a comfortable and motivating work environment. How about we take a tour and I show you the other rooms?"William agreed, and the two walked through the office. Charlotte explains every detail of the design, the open workspace concept that encourages collaboration, and the breakout rooms equipped with modern amenities. Every corner of the office exudes a dynamic and professional atmosphere that reflects the company's vision and mission."Everything looks so nice, Charlotte. I have to admit, you have done a great job creating this environment. I'm proud of you," William said sincerely as the two finished their tour."So that means I'm going to be treated by you
William smiled and shook his head, "No problem, Charlotte. The family business is part of my responsibility as well. Besides, I'm a field manager, my job doesn't require me to be in the office all the time. So when and where is the meeting with Royal Litusia Hospital?"Charlotte then replied, "The meeting is scheduled for this afternoon at 02.00 pm at Royal Litusia Hospital. You can manage to keep your schedule less busy, right?"William nodded, "I can definitely arrange everything. And don't worry, I'll help with the meeting as much as I can. We have to make sure that this company owned by the Lysander family is not defrauded."Charlotte smiled, "Thank you William. I knew, I could count on you for that.""I'll see you at 02:00 PM then. I have work to do, so bye." William, not wanting to be seen as idle, left for the Salazar Group office. Even though, as the owner of the company, he only had to check the report Xavier had given him.Seconds turned into minutes, then minutes turned int
William, while remaining firm, began to see obstacles to reaching the agreement he wanted. Charlotte tries to signal William to be more flexible, but the opposition between William and Adam becomes more difficult to overcome.The meeting continues with tensions rising and the hoped-for agreement becoming more elusive, and the scene in the room increasingly reflects the tension that fills the air. The light coming in through the windows seems to accentuate the lines of tension on the faces of the meeting participants. The sound of footsteps and hushed whispers created an increasingly tense atmosphere.Not a single spark of laughter or smile slipped between the interactions of the two warring parties. Every word was carefully considered, and every glance was filled with suspicion and a desire to win.In the center of the meeting room, the sturdy table looked like a battlefield where arguments clashed and disputes raged. Documents were scattered across the table, silent witnesses to the
In his heart, Adam tried to ponder the failure. His inner turmoil was like an uncontrollable wave, tearing down the edifice of confidence he had built over the years. Anger and disappointment surged through him.Every step he took seemed to stop, as if the ground beneath his feet had collapsed. Adam was devastated to admit that the fraud he and his men had perpetrated had been exposed. This was not only a loss of business, but also a loss of self-respect and reputation that would be difficult to recover from.In his inner turmoil, Adam finally realized that picking a fight with William was the wrong thing to do. Although his pride felt trampled, his rational mind could still function normally. He was fully aware that if he continued to make trouble with William, then all that was left for him was destruction.***Studying the contents of the latest agreement with the Royal Litusia Hospital apparently took a while. The sun, still high, had now set and was replaced by the rising moon, w
A few days after the problem with the Royal Litusia Hospital was resolved, William and Charlotte called Michael to bring in Liliana's sister. Liliana, already aware of the mistakes she had made, constantly avoided and distanced herself from William and Charlotte so as not to be judged. Liliana even told her parents to learn to live independently by renting an apartment, just to avoid being judged."Michael, it's time for you to do your part," William said when he met Michael in his office with Charlotte."I doubt, I can convince my mother to do what you whispered in the car," Michael said."It will indeed be difficult for you to persuade your mother directly. Therefore, I will ask you to persuade Liliana first. If both of her children ask, your mother will have no reason to refuse," William said."This is the best way forward for our family, Michael. We must unite." Charlotte said.Michael sighed, "I know. I'll do something to get Liliana to sit with us."William and Charlotte smiled
"How about we take care of your problem? We also promise not to tell Mom and Dad. But this is not a free offer. You have to do something for us. Will you accept our offer, Liliana?" said William with a confident look on his face.At this point, William changed into Ethan Kingslayer in Liliana's mind. He was no different from the devil who trapped his prey. The hope that had grown in her heart was now shattered once again. William's offer was probably the best option she could have at the moment, but she had her doubts. Liliana seemed to be trapped in her own fears as the shadow of Ethan appeared in William.As her mind raced, Liliana's eyes scanned the room. She was like a person lost in the woods, her eyes searching every direction for clues. Michael, aware of his sister's behavior, realized that Liliana was caught in an overwhelming panic. Gently, Michael held Liliana's hand to calm her.Liliana's panic disappeared instantly. Then she turned her head to Michael. Her brother nodded,
During the day, after a tense night of trying to convince Liliana. William suddenly received a call from Daniel. His men, whom he had ordered to infiltrate the Kingslayer family residence."What is it Daniel? How dare you call me," William said."It's urgent, sir, I think I need to deliver this immediately," Daniel said."Ethan Kingslayer and Iriana Kingslayer are moving to the city of Litusia the day after tomorrow. Not only that, they are ready with a myriad of plans to obtain the wealth you are hiding," Daniel said.For a moment, William was surprised that his uncle and his wife were moving so quickly. But no matter what, he had to be prepared for conditions that could change drastically in a short time."So they're really after my father's wealth. That's good information, Daniel. I have confirmed the purpose of those two rotten people. All I have to do is arrange a time to fight them," William said."You better be careful, sir, because they have hired an assassin as well." Daniel
Emma was surprised to hear Liliana's confession. Her eyes looked sharply at her children, searching for the truth in every expression on their faces. "What's all this about? William wants me to go with him? Betray Ethan?"Michael replied firmly, "Mom, we know this is a difficult and confusing time. But Ethan and Iriana are not good people. They will continue to use you as a tool. People like them are never to be trusted. And here, William not only wants to stand up to his uncle, he wants to save us all from the destruction they will cause.Liliana added, "William has big plans to destroy his uncle's evil and he needs us. He needs your support, Mom."Emma's feelings were mixed. She wanted to feel free, but her fear of Ethan made her hesitate. "What should I do?" she thought, trying to control her emotional turmoil.The inner turmoil was overwhelming. On the one hand, Emma wanted to live a quiet life with her family without having to fear the terror that could come at any time. Emma rea
