Jane spent nearly an hour making final adjustments to her appearance.She carefully applied light makeup, wanting to look elegant without appearing as though she had tried too hard. She selected a delicate perfume and checked herself in the mirror one last time."This is perfect," she whispered.Just then, her phone vibrated.A text message from Alexander appeared."My driver has arrived outside. Take your time."Jane smiled.She picked up her handbag and hurried downstairs.Outside, a sleek black luxury sedan was parked by the curb. A professionally dressed chauffeur immediately stepped out, opened the rear door, and greeted her politely."Good afternoon, Miss Wilson.""Good afternoon.""Mr. Smith asked me to bring you to his residence."Jane nodded and entered the vehicle.As the car pulled away, she leaned back comfortably.She couldn't help smiling.Everything about Alexander reflected class.His manners.His confidence.Even the professionalism of his staff."He really is differe

Richard's words lingered in the air even after everyone exchanged business cards.He looked at Donald and Victoria with obvious satisfaction."I have a feeling this won't be the last time the two of you work together."Victoria smiled politely."I hope not."Donald nodded."I believe every worthwhile partnership begins with trust."Richard clapped his hands together."Exactly!""That's the spirit I like to hear."An assistant approached Richard with a folder."Sir, the investors from the northern division are ready for the final briefing."Richard glanced at Donald."I'm afraid duty calls."He turned to Victoria."Would you mind showing Donald around the rest of the development before he leaves?""I'd be delighted."Richard smiled."Wonderful."He shook Donald's hand once more."Thank you again for today.""My pleasure."Richard walked away with his assistant, leaving Donald and Victoria standing beside the large glass windows overlooking the sprawling construction site.For a few mom

The meeting at Richard Harrington's development project had officially come to an end, but many of the executives were still discussing Donald's remarkable suggestions.Small groups stood around the conference hall, analysing the recommendations he had made only minutes earlier.Several engineers were already making adjustments to their designs.The financial consultants were reviewing projected figures based on Donald's proposals.Richard watched everything with satisfaction.He had invited Donald hoping to receive a few useful suggestions.Instead, Donald had transformed the entire direction of the project.Smiling broadly, Richard placed a hand on Donald's shoulder."My friend, you've exceeded every expectation I had."Donald smiled modestly."I only shared what I believed would strengthen the project."Richard laughed."And you've done far more than that."He turned towards the elegant young woman standing beside him."Donald, I'd like you to properly meet my daughter."The young

Jane stared at Alexander for a brief moment after he asked about her former boyfriend.For the first time since they had begun talking, she looked slightly uncomfortable.She hadn't expected the conversation to return to Donald.Inside, she silently scolded herself."Why did I even mention the name Smith?" she thought."Now he'll become curious."She forced a smile onto her face."Oh... it's not really an interesting story."Alexander leaned back in his chair, still wearing the same calm smile."I don't mind listening.""Everyone has a past."Jane hesitated.She certainly couldn't tell Alexander the truth.She couldn't admit that she had abandoned Donald because she believed he was poor.She couldn't reveal that she had later tried desperately to win him back after discovering how successful he had become.Most importantly, she couldn't allow Alexander to think she was someone who chased wealth.Within seconds, she made up her mind.She would tell only the version of the story that fa

Mr. Richard Black remained standing beside Mr. Smith, watching Donald from a distance as he effortlessly moved from one influential guest to another. Everywhere Donald went, conversations seemed to become lively. Executives sought his opinions. Investors requested future meetings. Even seasoned businessmen treated him as an equal rather than someone who had only recently stepped into the Smith family empire.Richard smiled with admiration."You've truly raised an exceptional young man."Mr. Smith's face glowed with pride."I've been blessed."Richard folded his hands behind his back."I've watched him all evening.""He's confident without being arrogant.""He's intelligent.""And he knows how to listen."Mr. Smith chuckled."Those qualities are exactly why I entrusted him with part of the empire."Richard nodded slowly before asking the question that had been on his mind."Tell me...""Is Donald married?"Mr. Smith's smile widened."Yes.""He is."Richard looked slightly surprised."H
Chapter 438
Friday arrived with a sense of accomplishment that Donald had not felt in a long time.The previous few months had been some of the busiest of his life.Ever since his father had officially entrusted him with overseeing a significant portion of the Smith family's business empire, Donald had immersed himself completely in the responsibility. He travelled between offices, reviewed reports late into the night, met with executives, analysed financial statements, and personally supervised several important projects.His experience from leading DeGrand Corporation had prepared him well.Rather than making reckless decisions, Donald took time to understand every company under his supervision.He reorganised departments that had become inefficient.He promoted capable managers instead of favouring those with influence.He introduced stricter financial controls to prevent unnecessary spending.He also launched employee incentive programmes that rewarded productivity rather than seniority alone
