This morning at Villa Winston.
"Good morning!" Because she was no stranger to that voice, Gennifer suddenly ran over and opened the door. “Marvin my husband? How come you can go home?” asked Gennifer in disbelief. She was in complete shock. For the past year Gennifer has been a loyal member of the Winston Family and has been waiting for Marvin to arrive. Only Gennifer always visited him every weekend. Meanwhile, his father-in-law and Russell, since he first entered the prison, have never once come to ask how they are doing. For them, Marvin's mistake was fatal and Marvin would never succeed anywhere in the future. Even though for the past year her family has insisted that she separate from Marvin immediately, Gennifer doesn't want to comply, the reason being that Gennifer loves him too much and she believes that one day Marvin will surely succeed. "Come in!" asked Gennifer while printing a smile even though his eyes were still wondering by themselves. Marvin came too early, the four people inside were still intact and had not yet gone to work. "I want to know about your family," Marvin said impatiently. However, Marvin still respected them. Seeing the sudden arrival of his son-in-law, Derick Winston was taken aback and his eyes widened, “Marvin? You escaped from prison? How could that be?" Marvin was asked to sit down, but in the living room, not the living room. “Father, I am not proven guilty. The results of my invention proved to be a fuel that is allowed by the state. I should never have gone to jail." Even though Derick used to really approve of their marriage relationship, because the stamp of being an ex-convict entered his family's body, Derick was reluctant to see Marvin's face. "You terrorist!" he frowned. Marvin tried to calm down. He shrugged his shoulders and replied, “I'm not a terrorist, Father. All accusations are untrue. Please check it yourself in court.” Marvin kept on convincing his father-in-law that he was in the right position. Elena, Gennifer's mother, was shocked when she saw Marvin coming. Even though she used to really like Marvin, since Marvin was in prison, Elena was very disgusted to see this sinful daughter-in-law. "I don't want any dirty men in this villa!" she grumbled. Derick and Elena looked contemptuously at Marvin. To them, Marvin was still a dirty ex-con who didn't deserve to be in the Winston household. It was because of Marvin that the good name of the Winston Family was tarnished. Derick, who was in his 60s, looked at her suspiciously and said sarcastically, "We used to hope that you would be a hero in our family, but you actually caused trouble and damaged the image of our family and business." Elena gave a sharp, piercing glance from the side, then said scathingly, “You look like an unreliable son-in-law, Marvin! We regret having accepted your presence. You should never have married Gennifer!” Derick grinned and said loudly, “You better divorce your wife right now! We don't want our business to fall apart like the Rock Family's." Then Derick raised his head while crossing his arms over his chest, giving the impression that it was his words that were being listened to the most. Marvin felt like he was getting an electric shock. Instead of getting a good reception, he was showered with all kinds of insults and curses. However, Marvin remained calm and squared his shoulders. He wasn't the least bit intimidated.He tried to defend himself, “Give me a chance to improve myself. I believe, as we hoped a year ago, that the Rock Family and the Winston Family will be able to rise together through adversity." Derick quickly cut in, “What?! False hope! We regret that we believed in you that you could become the god of war between the two families! Rather, you are a disaster! I don't care about your family business, Marvin, but look at our family!” For a whole year the Winston Family has been scrambling to find all kinds of ways to survive their business. They not only lack funds, but also resources. If they don't improve in the near future, their oil business could suffer a total loss. Derick puffed out his chest and said firmly, “You can't be relied on, Marvin! The Rocks are struggling too. Meanwhile, your status as an ex-convict will obviously complicate all business paths. We don't believe you!” Then Derick looked away and furrowed his brows. He grew sick of looking at Marvin. But Gennifer didn't budge. She turned around and looked at his father, then said, “You must remember all of Marvin's accomplishments and accomplishments. She is sure to be welcome wherever she applies for work. Did dad forget?” Derrick flinched. “What are you talking about, Gennifer? How dare you warn father like that!” Derick grinned again and said, “That was before he was a prisoner, before he was considered a terrorist. Now, who would take it? Who wants to employ terrorists?” asked Derick starting to go crazy. Elena chimed in. She said viciously, “Marvin! You hear me! You are a disgraceful son-in-law! Never dream of becoming a successful man and a hero in the Winston Family!” she whispered while narrowing her eyes. Since being named a suspect, Marvin's name has been crossed out from the Winston Family list, only his status as Gennifer's husband is still there. In the past year, Gennifer has been very patient with her family's scathing comments. Yes, he was constantly forced to immediately file for divorce from Marvin. However, his sincerity and loyalty surpasses all. In fact, he was willing to be cursed at and humiliated by his own parents in order to maintain the integrity of their household relationship. Gennifer looked sternly at her mother, “Don't forget Mom, you used to brag about Marvin in front of many people, on social media, and everywhere. To Mother, Marvin was the ideal son-in-law, who was handsome, genius, and something to be proud of. I don't think you can forget it." Elena was quite shaken. “Gennifer my daughter, you must never be insolent with your own mother. Yes, I admit it, but that was before, when he was not yet a convict. Now, he is nothing to be proud of.” Elena's lips twitched in disgust as she rolled her black eyes very lazily. Marvin was further cornered. The current situation and the situation before the marriage has drastically changed one hundred and eighty degrees. If before he was always flattered, now so dumped. Now, he is looked down upon. It wasn't until Marvin was about to speak up and return to defend himself, when suddenly Russel screamed from the stairs, “Wow! My embarrassing brtheri-in-law has finally come!” Russell clapped for a long time. Russel smiled mockingly and said in a sarcastic tone, “Did you use that MR-25 of your invention to blow up the prison to escape ha? Very scary terrorist. Don't stay here too long, Marvin, I don't want our magnificent villa to be in vain because of your crime!”In response to the new accusations that cornered him so much, Marvin became even more furious with Russell. "You! You are a slanderer so I go to jail!” Marvin started to get emotional. Russel, who is five years older than Marvin, clearly does not accept this. "You're accusing me of slander?! What kind of sister-in-law are you ha?! How dare you speak like that!” Russell immediately sat right in front of Marvin. Marvin braved himself and said, “I have proof that you were with Raymond planning the whole thing. It's just that you are cunning, the court did not find you guilty because you were playing with money." Russel answered loudly, “Yes, of course! Raymond and I are innocent because the evidence gathered by your sister is not strong. The accusation that you are a terrorist is not only from us. You must remember that!” Russel puffed out his chest and didn't want to lose style to Marvin. Russell had a strong desire for Marvin to get rid of the Winston Family as soon as
Russell shouted, "You're finally here, my rich brother!" He immediately gave Raymond a warm hug. When he heard the news that Marvin had been released and was visiting the Winston residence, Raymond had rushed here this morning. He wanted to see firsthand what the ex-convict's face and body looked like. In the living room, Raymond gave Marvin a contemptuous look. "Hey! You dirty man, you shouldn't be here! If you are lucky enough to escape prison, you should be working odd jobs or trading something in an online shop. You don't deserve to be in big business!” Seeing Raymond's arrogant and naughty style, Gennifer hated him even more, more and more her heart found it difficult to accept any offers from the Harvard Family. Gennifer grew disgusted. She defended her husband, “Arrogant! You don't deserve to be here because you are nothing!” There was a moment of silence, and eyes fell on Gennifer. During this time, when under pressure, Gennifer rarely spoke and more resigned eve
Gennifer shuddered. “Marvin, you are so heartless! Don't you love me anymore?" Gennifer's eyes were red and wanted to cry. Derick stood and put his hands on his hips. He looked at his son-in-law and said, “You're out of your mind, Marvin. One whole year your wife took care of you, fed you every week, always loyal to you, but now you have hurt her heart. Elena didn't budge. She fixed his gaze on Marvin's face and said loudly, “Dude! You say that, it means you really want a divorce from Gennifer." Actually they don't care, but they don't want their daughter to be embarrassed because of that stupid son-in-law. What Marvin had bet on sounded crazy. If the Winstons had been teetering on lobbying to keep their business afloat for so many months, how was it that a man who had just gotten out of prison was able to ship so much crude oil? They unanimously judged that Marvin had been distracted by his brain. If someone like Raymond took a week to process everything, and even then
Tonight at the Rock Family residence. Marvin Rock answered the phone. “Yes, by myself.” There was a subtle vibration on the other end of the phone. "We, from Ferum Group, Northice, are interested in buying MR-25 products. We have prepared fifty billion dollars for business over the next five years.” And this is the eighth offer received. Previously, there were five investors who had invested enormous funds, a total of one hundred billion dollars. And there are three buyers, including this last one, which has also touched hundreds of billions of dollars. Why are so many entrepreneurs working in the energy sector, especially electricity, so interested in the MR-25? What's the secret? Actually MR-25 is just a term. Marvin Rock discovered the chemical compound at the age of 25. Initially, Marvin discovered a new chemical element on his own family's land, then he gave it the name Glorisium. Glorisium is somewhat similar to coal. After going through a complicated process, Glo
Marvin Rock's black Audi has rarely been used in the past year, except for a few times by people at home. Marvin started the engine and warmed it up for a while. He wiped the body and glass. Since the beginning, Marvin has never asked his maid or anyone else to clean his car. In fact, if something breaks, he will fix it himself. The roar of Harven Rockwell's big motorbike engine is quite thunderous. BRUM! Harven was so dashing in his motorbike suit, black jacket and leather shoes. He opened his visor and greeted his older brother before leaving for college, "Cheer up, Sis!" his warm smile could be seen from his narrowed eyes. “You have three months left of your studies, Harven. Study hard, then accompany your brother to take care of the Rock Family's small business!” “Ready, Sis. I go!" Harven's voice couldn't be heard clearly because of the helmet he was wearing. He stepped on the gas. Marvin said goodbye to his father and mother, after that he got into his car, heade
At Villa Winston, it was early morning. Marvin got out of his Audi. Not long after, Gennifer ran and stormed out of the house. "My Husband, is it true that you sent these Gloriest Flowers?" she asked with a sparkling face. Gennifer's hand is still carrying this flower arrangement worth five hundred thousand dollars. Because the presence of the Gloriest Flower was quite astonishing, Roderick and Russell were willing to skip work just to make sure that the flowers weren't sent by Marvin. In fact, Roderick's second son, or Russell's younger brother, Axel Winston, left his campus dormitory and went home. From the shock. Axel is a very smart science doctoral student, as well as an assistant lecturer at Gloriston University, much smarter and wiser than Russel. The only person who still respects Gennifer is Axel. He approached Marvin and asked, “Sister-in-law, how are you?” Axel is one year older than Marvin, he still calls him his little brother. He hugged Marvin quite tightly.
Until the afternoon, Marvin was still at the Winston Family residence. Because he had not seen each other for a long time, he expressed his happiness with his wife and Axel. Not only that, Marvin's real intention was to wait for Russell and Raymond to arrive. Around five o'clock, then Russell came home. His multi-million dollar Ford enters the villa's courtyard, deliberately moving away from Marvin's old Audi. "That bastard's car, he should have parked outside the gate," he sneered. Happiness and worry mixed on Russel's face. Happy because for the next month Winsoil will be safe from the crisis, and worried about who has told The Oxy to send that much crude oil, even though Winsoil has never made an offer. Arriving at this very magnificent living room, Russel snorted in annoyance when he saw Marvin, and said, "You shouldn't be in this room! And you better just go home! We do not accept ex-convicts!” Gennifer didn't accept it. "What are you doing, Russell?! Marvin is my le
“You just got out of jail and you're in a lot of trouble. You can't possibly spend that much money for just one flower!” Raymond protested then leaned back while spreading his arms. His impression must still be appreciated. Gennifer took Marvin's hand and said, “Marvin, you better stay out of touch with him. You must know how influential the Harvard Family is in Gloriston.” Gennifer was very worried, afraid that one day her husband would end up in jail again. In the past, it was clear that the name Harvard looked scary in Marvin Rock's eyes. Everyone in Chemisland knew the wealth and arrogance of the Harvard Family, but that was then. However, when he discovered a new chemical element called Glorisium, Marvin was no longer afraid of the Harvard Family name. If only the government hadn't gotten in the way of his steps, the Rock Family would have grown rapidly and could compete with Harvard in business long ago. Now, the successor of the Rock Family, is going to prove it. Bec
At the Rock family home, it was a quiet night.Marvin took another sip of his coffee, then said to Varez, "You're still the most accomplished man at that time. You're number one, man!"Varez looked away and watched the trees from this balcony. "Grades are useless if you don't have skills, experience, and money. I'm just a petrol station worker, and I'm stuck at the head of the shift. I'm not reliable."Varez even went so far as to regret his studies. He thought it was useless to go to school for years and end up as a petrol station worker. What he had learnt so far was a waste.There were many reasons why Varez was not as successful as his classmates, apart from the fact that he had no money and no insiders. Despite being highly intelligent, Varez didn't have great verbal skills. He knows theories and formulas by heart, but when it comes to dealing with big people, he's clumsy and nervous.If asked to speak in public, he would be shy and trembling. Varez tends to work in jobs that don
Flashback on. Once upon a time at Gloriston University. When most of them were eighteen years old.Around the campus park, Varez was picking up the pieces of his broken glasses."You're a geeky guy! You should be at home shooting with your dad," said one of the dark-haired men."We both can't get over the fact that you won't give us money. And what's worse, when we ask you to write down our homework, you violently refuse," chimed in the other blonde."If you had obeyed, we wouldn't have bullied you, you idiot!" the dark-haired man who had picked up Varez's glasses and thrown them, now stomped on them again, shattering them even more.Varez was pushed hard enough that he fell backwards. Thud! His body hit the garden fence. "Aghr!" Varez winced in pain. He didn't dare to retaliate, because if he put up a fight, he would be finished like yesterday.The two bullies had been beating his body all semester. The reason was because Varez was quiet and seemed stiff. Even though Varez sometimes
"You're just a disgraceful ex-con!" Raymond screamed in anger.Harven Rockwell could not contain his emotions. He approached Raymond and grabbed him by the neck. "You've been talking out of your arse. You disrespected the host and the other guests."Before anything untoward happened, the people in the neighbourhood broke it up. Harven was furious. He had been patient. Especially when he recalled that Raymond was the culprit for the slander against his brother.Harven grinned angrily. "You're the accuser! Because of you, my brother is in jail!" Harven struggled from the hugs and embraces of the people.The audience's emotions rose again. A show that shakes emotions, fluctuates.But not for the two extended families. Derick and his in-laws were concerned about the chaos.Russel was also on edge from earlier as he watched Mr Warren pretentiously blabbing away to his heart's content.Only able to surrender, Freya is speechless.Marvin regained control of the stage. "To Mr Warren Harvard a
Raymond turned round and squinted, then howled loudly, "My father is right! How can the Rock Family, especially the ones living in Gloriston, own Rockxill with a value of hundreds of billions of dollars. If they've been in debt to us all this time, then how can they own Rockxill? It's impossible!"Now all attention was on the father and son.Mr Warren Harvard was quite distinctive today because of his lively appearance. On all his fingers were a dozen rings, ranging from silver to gold to diamonds. In the middle of the skull motif on the middle finger, there is an expensive stone of hundreds of thousands of dollars that is as colourful as a rainbow.Mr Warren Harvard deliberately crossed his arms over his chest and showed off everything. All the jewellery on his fingers could buy a luxury villa plus everything inside. Mr Warren Harvard proudly stood up and puffed out his chest."Which bank would lend the Rock Family hundreds of billions of dollars?" Mr Warren asked and snorted in disg
Zavier, who had just wanted to sit in a chair at the back, stood up. He was asked to come forward and sit next to Marvin Rock. At this moment, Zavier was very awkward when sitting right next to his boss.As instructed by Marvin, Zavier was not to make much noise during the programme. Zavier must not tell anyone about the owner of Rockxill.That was the reason why Marvin forbade inviting the Wilmer Family here. The people who knew that the owner of Rockxill was Marvin were obviously the Wilmers, like Ethelyne.Russell brought his face closer to the mic again. "He is Mr Zavier! The President Director of Rockxill! He is far more meritorious and deserving of respect than the Harvard Family. Applause for him!"Excitement erupted around the garden.Those who shared the Harvard Family's views were delighted to hear Russel's outburst, especially those who hated the Harvard Family's arrogance.There were whispers among them."We better follow the Winston Family's lead, break away from the Harv
Raymond pointed at him. "Stop talking!" he howled angrily.Russel Winston straightened his shoulders and retorted, "I'm talking facts. Not slander.""You!" Raymond growled angrily."Ladies and gentlemen, you should also know that my brother-in-law, Marvin Rock, is not a terrorist. He was slandered into going to jail. I was one of the people instigated, and the instigator was Raymond Harvard!"Everyone was even more dumbfounded.Whispers among them filled the entire garden.Russel said this because he finally realised that Marvin Rock was innocent. He admitted that he had been wrong all along. In fact, Russel did not know who Marvin Rock really was.What would happen if Russel knew who Marvin really was?Mr Warren Harvard told his son to sit down immediately. Although Mr Warren was currently emotional, he couldn't let his anger out because after all, he was a guest here. Unlike Raymond who couldn't control his emotions, Mr Warren was still calm.Mr Warren thought that it was impossible
All the invited guests stood up, looked back, and searched for the two people in question. All eyes were on the two people.Then Warren Harvard and Raymond were led by two guards dressed all in black to the frontmost special seats. They would sit next to the dignitaries and other important people.From among business people, only the two of them are in the front row. Apart from being special, there will certainly be surprises for the richest family in Chemisland.Before taking their seats, the two of them clapped their hands and twisted their bodies as they leered in all directions, exuding a Harvard charm worthy of anyone's flattery.It wasn't long before two people were carrying metre-long flower arrangements, and two others were carrying sizable gifts. All gifts from the Harvard Family to the bride and groom."We would like to thank Mr Warren Harvard and his son," said Derick with a smile on his lips.Only the gifts from the Harvard Family were deliberately placed on the stage, not
The big day arrived.Russel and Freya became king and queen this Sunday in Gloriston. They both sat on the throne with all the beautiful floral decorations. Russel looked dashing in a black suit and Freya looked elegant in a white dress with a crown on her head.Fortunately, the early winter weather from morning to noon was quite mild. All the guests enjoyed the impressive garden party. The guests were treated to a variety of Chemisland specialities.The most special drink was GN-Wine. The price per bottle is two thousand dollars. Although it is quite cheap for a festive party, the quantity is limited. And specifically at this event, the producer has provided a stock of one hundred bottles.Accompanied by romantic music, the guests enjoyed chatting with each other with a beautiful view of the surrounding garden, while enjoying the food and drinks offered by twenty waiters on each side.Derick Winston stood on the stage and said to all the guests both seated and standing, "Thank you to
All the way from Villa Winston to the Rock Family residence, Gennifer kept grumbling to herself. "It must be Marvin who made her his secretary," she muttered with an annoyed look on her face.Later that evening, Gennifer dragged her husband to his room, leaving Marvin's parents in the dining room.In the room, Gennifer vigorously spewed out the anger that was clotting and choking her chest. "I don't want to know, he has to get out of Rockxill immediately, or I'll reveal all these secrets to my family and I'll report to them that you've been having an affair!" She sat slumped on the bed with a face full of emotion. Her beautiful eyes were swallowed by an explosive rage.Marvin walked around the room and remained calm. He had expected Freya's mouth to open wide, until her cooing reached his wife's ears. "I'll explain it to you, dear.""I don't need an explanation, Marvin! I'd rather let you get close to Ethelyne than that woman. She's secretly seductive. The proof is that you fell for h
