When Axel appeared at the hotel with John, he noticed that there were many invited guests at the party, including journalists. It was clear that Taylor's family had prepared meticulously for this important and grand event. Standing near the entrance area, Axel happened to glance in Rosa's direction and saw her looking cheerful, engrossed in conversation with her friends. Rosa's confidence and arrogance at the evening party today annoyed Axel greatly. He really didn't want to confront or even speak to Rosa. Just as Axel was looking away, Rosa noticed him. Rosa quickly bid farewell to a few of her friends, then excitedly approached Axel, who was standing with John. Axel didn't notice Rosa approaching him, but John did. John immediately issued a warning to Axel. "It seems that before the storm hits tonight, you won't get the peace you desire, Axel. We've just set sail, and there's already a strong wind blowing." "What do you mean by that?" Axel wondered, finding John's words rather cr
It is not beyond Axel's expectations; with every step he took, he drew the attention of those around him. Most of them gossip about his scandal. Ignoring the whispered conversations around him, Axel made his way to his group of friends."Do you think provoking Rosa was a wise move, Axel?" John asked as he followed Axel. "Not to mention, you revealed your intentions to her.""I did it intentionally," Axel admitted."Why?" John still doesn't understand Axel's purpose in doing so."I wanted to gauge Rosa's reaction before we took action," Axel explained."And do you think we got a positive result?" John asked further."As you can see, Rosa is quite resolute and adept at withstanding pressure," Axel casually concluded."It seems like that could be a hindrance for us in getting Rosa to confess, doesn't it?" John expressed his concern."Not exactly." Axel confidently said, "While I may not make Rosa worried enough to reveal any vulnerabilities, I know how to deal with her.""Oh, what's that
"Everything I've said is the truth. Through this event tonight, I want to clarify the malicious rumors targeting Axel. I hope everyone will discern right from wrong and refrain from engaging in online violence against Axel and that unfortunate woman." Rosa spoke humbly, bowing her head as if seeking the crowd's favor. Her noble act both impressed and moved the audience. However, some saw through Rosa's performance, viewing her as an adept and hypocritical manipulator. To be honest, Axel admired Rosa's idea. The story she presented was compelling and convincing. However, there was one thing Axel despised: Rosa's audacity to insult and belittle Daisy to elevate herself. It was truly despicable, and Axel was confident that Rosa deserved the retribution he had prepared for her. Seeing that the majority of people were leaning towards Rosa, Mr. Taylor used this as an opportunity to proceed with the next step of the plan. "As a father, I have full trust in my future son-in-law, Axel Smith
Not wanting to engage with Rosa any longer and not wishing to waste everyone's time, Axel turned to the crowd and declared firmly: "Do you all know where my scandal originated? Who is the mastermind behind it all?" As the entire hall remained silent, trying to process Axel's question, Tom once again took the spotlight. "Yes. We want to know. Please tell us." Tom exclaimed loudly, stirring up the crowd and aiding Axel's cause. "What's the real story here? Please explain it to us," Dion casually inquired, his curiosity getting the best of him, a sentiment shared by most in the audience. "That's right, tell us," the crowd collectively urged. Encouraged by the support, Axel turned his gaze towards Rosa with a challenging look. Rosa felt a shiver down her spine as she understood Axel's insinuation. "The truth is, it was Rosa herself who spread all the damaging rumors about me," Axel stated, without caring about Rosa's visibly pale face, speaking loudly and confidently, "and the purp
Taking advantage of the chaos in the hall, Axel swiftly dodged the reporters and found an escape route to make a successful exit. At this moment, he was heading towards his car. The thought of going home and seeing Daisy and their son Henry made Axel unusually excited."Axel, wait a moment." Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, causing Axel to stop in his tracks. He turned around and saw Amelia hurrying towards him. Judging by Amelia's expression, Axel could guess the reason his big sister had come to find him."What's going on, Amelia? Do you need a ride somewhere?" Axel deliberately teased with a playful tone as his big sister stood before him."What just happened in the hall?" In contrast to Axel's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Amelia appeared serious, determined to get an explanation. "Is this the solution you were talking about?"Amelia's intense reaction shows that Axel should not continue joking around, or else Amelia will truly get angry."Yes, that's right," Axel confirmed
The following day, news related to the Smith Corporation, Taylor Corporation, Rosa, and Axel exploded dramatically. No one could have anticipated the dangerous move that Axel had unleashed, and the impact of Axel's actions was immense. For the Smith Corporation, they suffered a significant loss as their most profitable subsidiary, GDP, was no longer under their management and control. It was clear that Axel had meticulously planned for his freedom. In reality, Axel had long been looking forward to the day he could leave the Smith Corporation, and now that opportunity had arrived, so Axel seized it without hesitation. All the documents related to the transfer of executive authority to John Amber were completely legitimate and in accordance with the law. Therefore, Smith couldn't do anything to change the situation. On the other hand, thanks to his talent, John was welcomed and supported by employees in the GDP company to become the new leader of the company. As for GDP, news of the c
Rosa showed her determination as she looked at Daisy with sharp eyes. Suddenly, Daisy wished someone would appear to stop Rosa. But if her wish didn't come true, she would have to face Rosa's madness and danger on her own."Rosa, listen to me: What you're doing is a crime, and you'll go to jail if you kill someone. You should stop before it's too late," Daisy calmly warned Rosa. "If I scream, you'll definitely get caught.""I don't care," Rosa insolently declared. "I just want Axel to suffer for what he did to me. And what will make Axel suffer the most is losing you. Whether you die or disappear, it's the same for me. I'll give you a chance: leave Axel forever, and your life will be spared. But don't play games with me. If you leave and then come back, I'll kill Axel. I promise you that.""You're not allowed to touch Axel," Daisy angrily retorted."That entirely depends on you," Rosa arrogantly said. "If you dare to defy me, continue staying with Axel. I'll kill Axel and make you liv
Daisy let out a sigh of relief when the person who arrived was not Axel. It was the doctor in charge of Daisy's treatment and the nurse responsible for monitoring her condition."Daisy, how do you feel?" the doctor asked with concern."My head is still a bit dizzy," Daisy replied honestly, then suddenly remembered something important. She anxiously asked, "How is my child? Is everything okay?""The baby is still safe. Please rest assured," the doctor reassured her. Daisy placed her hand on her belly, gently stroking it. She silently thanked God for protecting the unborn child. Up until now, Daisy had not fully recovered from the shock of Rosa's audacious actions. What would have happened if Rosa had actually pulled the trigger? Daisy might have died, and her unborn child as well. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine, instilling fear and anger within her. Daisy was sure that Rosa would have to pay for her actions. She believed that."Where is your husband?" the doctor inq
