At the Women's Dormitory of Savana City University.Cynthia was busy taking notes on the lectures she had missed. From the upper bunk, Priscilla's lazy, commanding voice rang out."Cyn, get me some water from the sink to wash my face."Cynthia didn't take her eyes off her book. "Get it yourself, Pris. I'm taking notes."Priscilla let out a loud sigh, as though the world revolved around her wishes. "Good grief... Just get it for me. I'll pay you ten thousand dollars. Hurry up."Cynthia turned slightly, her expression remaining calm. "I said no, Pris. I'm studying."Priscilla began to get annoyed. She leaned her head over the edge of the upper bunk and looked down at Cynthia with a condescending expression."Cyn... don't act all high and mighty. You're used to being ordered around, aren't you? Ten thousand dollars is a pretty big deal for someone like you."The other female students in the room glanced at them but didn't dare say anything.Cynthia slowly closed her book. "I'm not your s

Cynthia saw the Porsche arrive and shouted loudly as soon as its door opened, "There he is! My brother is here!" Her voice shattered the silence and made everyone turn toward her.Jonathan stepped out of the car with a relaxed air, his movements calm yet exuding an oppressive presence. Mella got out from the other side, her elegant appearance immediately attracting the students' attention. Some of the boys even whistled softly, while several girls stared in disbelief."Wow... damn, her brother is that handsome?""The woman is gorgeous too...""Are they celebrities?"Cynthia immediately approached Jonathan proudly and grabbed his arm tightly, as though showing off a golden trophy. For a moment, her eyes glanced at Mella, but she chose not to greet her, focusing instead on showing everyone that she had powerful backing."Brother," Cynthia said, pointing toward Priscilla, her voice filled with restrained anger. "She's the one who keeps causing trouble for me. She acts like she's in charg

Mella was still stunned as she watched the commotion that had just unfolded, from the way Reno had been sent flying by a slap to Jonathan's threat that had mentally broken an entire group of sports students. She had not even had time to process everything when Cynthia suddenly grabbed her wrist with the enthusiasm of a die-hard fan."Sis Mella! Your autograph, your autograph!" Cynthia exclaimed, her eyes sparkling."Huh? What autograph?" Mella blinked, still somewhat distracted by the chaos that had just subsided.Cynthia proudly patted her chest. "I'm your fan, Sis Mella! I read your profile in last month's business magazine. It covered that financial startup project you worked on! I was immediately impressed. You're beautiful, intelligent, elegant, and basically the complete package!"Mella's cheeks instantly turned red, and she let out a soft laugh. "Oh, come on... You're exaggerating. I'm just doing my job."Cynthia leaned closer, her eyes glittering with excitement. "What do you

The second rainfall of the rainy season poured heavily over Vaganza City. Thick clouds hung low in the sky, and occasional flashes of lightning sent thunder rumbling across the heavens. On the highest floor of the Pacific Group Building, the atmosphere was just as gloomy as the weather outside. The main conference room was filled with shareholders. The crystal lights cast a dim glow throughout the room, adding to the tense atmosphere. At the head of the long table sat Darius Andora, the company's CEO, his expression serious. On his left sat Mella, calm and composed, with a folder in her hands. On his right sat Lewis, her cousin, wearing a smile that looked far too confident. Darius surveyed everyone in attendance before opening the meeting. "All right, let's begin. Today's agenda concerns the decision of whether Mella should remain in her position as CEO." Several people exchanged whispers. Among them, the chair belonging to one of the company's largest shareholders rema

The Pacific Group shareholders' meeting had reached its most decisive stage. The room was so quiet that the ticking of the wall clock echoed throughout the space. Darius stood upright at the head of the table, looking at the shareholders one by one."Let's begin the voting," he announced. "Raise your hands if you support Mella remaining as CEO."Six hands rose.Director Zendra, Mr. Pohan, several longtime shareholders, and three foreign investors who had originally been brought into the company by Mella."All right," Darius said flatly. "Now, those who support Lewis becoming the next CEO."Six more hands rose almost simultaneously. Some of them did so with absolute confidence, including Sendro the Fat Man, the bald Wiryadi, and two shareholders who had long been Lewis's allies.The result was a tie.Mella tensed. Her heart sank as though it had been dragged to the bottom of the ocean. Everyone knew one thing: the deciding vote still belonged to Darius. Lewis's father. The man most lik
