Liliana, Oliver and Charlotte all squinted at the jewelry box William had taken out. On the top of the box was a gold embossed Van De Koningen inscription. This meant that the jewelry in the box was also from the Van De Koningen jewelry store.Liliana was choked up for a moment, her brain struggling to digest and understand what William had just done. Meanwhile, Oliver's heart almost fell out of his chest as he still remembered the sight of the most luxurious and expensive ring at Van De Koningen."Charlotte, the ring that Oliver calls the most expensive ring in Van De Koningen is this ring in my hand. I bought it as a gift for the best wife I have, and that is you." William handed over the ring.The brilliant white gold shone from the ring William handed over. Not to mention that the ring was adorned with a sapphire gemstone that had a royal blue hue. Sapphires of this color are the highest grade, usually only owned by members of the royal family. So there is n
Liliana's anger grew when she heard that Charlotte had bought a new car. And not just one, but two. And what made Liliana's resentment even more uncontrollable was that the cars she bought were the latest releases from high-end brands."Doesn't that mean that Charlotte actually bought a new car at the Red Rose Show Room? She shouldn't be able to afford to buy from that place. Michael and I took care of the family's registration, and I didn't do the registration. Doesn't the Red Rose Show Room impose almost impossible conditions if a non-member customer wants to buy a car there?" the questions shot through Liliana's head like bullets from an automatic rifle."NO...NO WAY! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN?" screamed Liliana, almost going crazy at the sheer luck Charlotte was having. She was jealous and couldn't accept the fact that her half-sister's luck was better than hers."Wait!" Liliana shouted, stopping William and Charlotte as they left to meet a representative from the Red Rose Show Room."Wha
William and Charlotte initially had happy faces when they entered the living room. But their expressions instantly changed when they found Emma Lysander already in the living room. The pseudo-happiness of tasting the sweetness of Liliana's victory instantly crumbled into rubble."I heard from Liliana that you just bought two new cars at once and they're high-end cars. Is that true?" Emma asked her stepdaughter and son-in-law."ehh right mom, we did just buy them. Would you like to see them?" replied Charlotte."I don't want to see it. Answer me! Where did you get the money from? You must have stolen it from the company right?"Emma Lysander started grilling Charlotte because she was suspicious. She knew there was no way her stepdaughter could afford a new car let alone one from a high-end brand."No ma'am, I really didn't steal anything from the company. This is all William's money that he got the other day." Charlotte replied."Your lies are so ridiculous Charlotte. Didn't we see th
A concerned William immediately grabbed Charlotte's arm, "What happened to you? Who did this to you?"Not a word came out of his wife's mouth, she just shook her head slowly, "I'm fine William. Take it easy," she said with a smile.William's anger could no longer be contained, "I am going to make a calculation with your family, Charlootte. You must know that your husband is no longer a low man who cannot defend his wife.""No William, please control yourself," Charlotte said as she wrapped her arms around William's wrist. She was preventing him from leaving the room.William's anger had reached its peak. It was boiling like hot lava in a mountain ready to overflow, his hands clenched tightly. He no longer cared who he had to face. He would do anything to get back at the man who had dared to hurt Charlotte. She really had lost her mind. If Charlotte hadn't stopped her, the entire Lysander family home would have been destroyed."Sit next to me, William. Please calm down, I'm fine, it's
With his spirit lifted by the high winds of hope, William made his way to Gilgamesh Bar as night fell. The lights of the city accompanied his journey as if he were a hero going to war.As soon as he arrived, the bartender greeted him, "Hello William, from the look on your face, it looks like you are in need of something. So what can I help you with?" Henry asked."The underground fighting tournament with the crazy priest's ten-finger prize. Do you know anything about it?" asked William."Hmmm, there are many underground fights. But I've never heard of one that gives out human body parts as prizes. Most of the prizes are always money," Henry replied.William sighed, his hopes immediately dashed. He thought he would get an answer as soon as he left the Gilgamesh Bar, considering that this place had a fairly close relationship with the underworld."You don't have to be so glum, William. If I don't have the answer to your question, then perhaps the information is indeed quite confidential
"This must have something to do with the competition that Mr. Demiand, the owner of the Jaeger Company, is running, right? You're not the first to come here and ask about this, William. There have been several people here before you," Alfred said.William was silent, he did not expect that there would be people who were faster than him. He thought he was the fastest. But really the world is wide, there will always be people who are more than other people.Then Alfred continued, "The price for the information you want is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Let me tell you, that's not cheap at all. Do you still want it?"Confidently, William replied, "I will pay any amount for the information." "Well, if you insist, I can't stop you," Aflred said as he handed over a special device to make the payment.William then took out the black card of the Black Order that he had been carrying without showing it to anyone. The card contained all of William's assets that could be converted into
"It looks like our client has quite a bit of money in his account. Maybe you can give me some tips later," Emily said as she moved her face closer to William's and then sat down again."You better give me the information fast, I don't have time to deal with your flirting Emily," William said."Hmmm... you are so stiff William. I thought you were the kind of man who likes to have fun with women," Emily said.William shook his head, showing that he was tired of small talk."Well, I'll give you the information. Let's get straight to the point. Out of the dozens of guides, I only managed to get the names of three people." Emily held up three fingers, "Don't think of me as incompetent. The identities of these leaders are indeed top secret. I even risked my life to find them out."William watched carefully as Emily began to name the guides one by one, "First is the director of the museum, then the fireman, then a businessman. His brow furrowed at Emily's words. He had never expected the gu
"I was suddenly told by the company to go out of town, I'm sorry I didn't have time to give you news," William said, trying to make the most reasonable excuse to be heard."You could have at least told me properly. Do you know that I almost couldn't sleep last night?! I don't want to hear any more excuses. I want to sleep well tonight because tomorrow morning I have an important meeting with a client," Charlotte said.William could smell the worry on Charlotte's tone. Mischievous thoughts soon took over his brain."Hmmm... it looks like you're really worried about me. Ahhh... it's so nice that my wife worries about me," William said in a teasing tone to Charlotte."Huh? I'm not worried about you at all. William, how dare you..." Charlotte said.On the other side of the phone, William laughed out loud. He could already imagine his wife's face turning red with embarrassment. But he did not stop there and continued his teasing."Come on, Mrs. ...., just admit that you're worried. It seem
