Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!The doorbell rang incessantly, shattering the silence of the night. Its sound was so impatient, as if its owner had no time to wait even a second.Victor, who had just stepped out of the bathroom with dripping wet hair, hurriedly grabbed a small towel to dry his hair. He walked quickly toward the door, slightly annoyed by the bell that kept ringing without pause.Click!"Why did it take so long?!" Selena snapped as soon as the door opened. Her face was flushed, whether from annoyance or from the cold night wind. "Are your ears broken that you can't hear the bell I've been pressing over and over?"Victor stood in the doorway wearing a casual gray t-shirt that was still slightly damp clinging to his body. His hair was messy, water droplets still running down his temples. "I just took a shower, Selena. It's unusual for you to come without giving notice. I—"Before he could finish speaking, Selena had already strutted in without waiting for permission. She

The clinking of crystal glasses echoed throughout the room, accompanied by laughter and endless business conversations. The luxurious chandelier lights reflected golden glimmers in every corner of the room, creating the perfect glamorous atmosphere for a high-class gala dinner.Yet, amidst all this opulence, Dave felt suffocated. "Boring," he muttered quietly.He swept his gaze around. So many people interacting tirelessly, shaking hands, making small talk, fake laughing. Meanwhile, Dave just sat frozen, watching all this charade with an empty stare.Dave felt truly tortured. Not just because the event felt endless, but also because he wasn't used to his new world yet—a world full of fakeness and hidden agendas.Unable to take it anymore, he straightened up and adjusted his slightly wrinkled suit."Young Master, where are you going?" Michael asked alertly as soon as he noticed Dave's sudden movement.Dave turned while taking a long breath, a clear sign of boredom. Michael immediately

Brianna strode forward gracefully on her long legs. Each tap of her high heels on the marble floor successfully drew the attention of everyone present in the room.She arrived dressed in a simple yet stunning black dress—its length about two centimeters above her ankles, giving an elegant yet assertive impression to her figure. The off-shoulder dress sleeves fell to cover her elbows, revealing her slender shoulders. She seemed to blend perfectly with her outfit choice, while a small clutch in her hand added extra points to her captivating appearance.Her long hair, left flowing with curls at the ends, made her seem to shine amid the crowd that evening."Look at the daughter of Albert Group," an investor whispered to his colleague. "She looks so radiant, even amid the luxury of this venue. Nothing can catch my attention except that woman.""Right," his friend agreed. "Her appearance is so striking. No one can match her elegance tonight."Whispers about Brianna, the daughter of the cong

Selena tried to smile, forcing herself to act normal even though she was actually annoyed by Dave's words. Her hand, still holding Dave's arm, trembled slightly—whether from nervousness or anger, even Selena herself wasn't sure."Threatened? Of course not," Selena said in a forced cheerful tone. "Actually, we're happy to have healthy competition in the business world. Dad always says competition makes us stronger."Dave raised one eyebrow, a thin smile still fixed on his face. He could clearly see the tension in the corners of Selena's eyes, the way she bit her lower lip slightly, a habit that always appeared when Selena was lying."Oh, really?" Dave replied casually. "I'm glad to hear it. So your family won't mind if Centratama Group wins, right?"Selena's smile almost faded, but she forced herself to keep smiling. Her fingers gripped Dave's jacket sleeve tighter."Dave, we were married once. Shouldn't we support each other?" Selena said softly, her eyes looking at Dave with a gaze t

The thunderous applause echoed in the hotel ballroom. VIP guests and rows of investors gathered at their respective assigned tables. In the dimly lit atmosphere, the sole spotlight shone on the stage. "Honored guests! Tonight you will meet Mr. Warles, the leader of the major Warleslock Company Group who has survived through business innovations, drawing the attention of investors!"After the MC spoke, Mr. Warles stood up from his seat and gave a brief wave to the guests and investors. His smile curved triumphantly."Wow, Mr. Warles' reputation is undoubtedly deserved. His journey in the business world has been so long that Warleslock Company Group became the second most influential company!"Again, thunderous applause filled the room. The MC's words made Mr. Warles just laugh calmly while placing a hand on his chest, a sign of thanks."It's a pity we have to get the news that Mr. Ramirez, the leader of Centratama Group, is still in critical condition in the hospital," said the MC.

"Miss Brianna, I have to leave now," Dave immediately stood up after saying that without waiting for Brianna's response.It could be ensured that Dave walked hurriedly followed by Michael behind him, as if there was something that made him have to rush away at that moment.Meanwhile, Brianna could only sigh, letting Dave leave without being able to stop his steps."He's leaving me alone without manners, just wait until we meet again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."Instantly, Brianna fell silent, feeling lonely in a place that was actually quite crowded.***"Welcome back to the Centratama Group family, Dave Ramirez."While tightly gripping his briefcase handle, Dave stared blankly at Maximus's figure. A few moments ago, while in the car on the way to this mansion, Michael informed him that Maximus was already waiting for his arrival.Dave was also surprised by how big this mansion was. He didn't expect that he would be able to set foot in a place like this. Was he really f
