Day after day passed.Poor company management and corruption within Winsoil had caused further chaos. In addition, crude oil from The Oxy for this month was running low, with less than a week left.Winsoil had to quickly find another crude oil supplier for the next month's supply to overcome the crisis. However, they are also in a financial crisis aka lack of funds, therefore they must seek these funds from investors.If they want to get a bank loan from a very large amount, up to one billion dollars, they will obviously be rejected, considering the mess they are in. News of Winsoil's crisis has spread everywhere.At Villa Winston this morning. Derick grinned angrily, "Russel! You're incapable of managing the Winston Family company! Your brother is much smarter than you. If you can't make a difference, I'll send Axel home and tell him to quit being a lecturer, he'd better take care of Winsoil," he snapped.Not accepting the scolding, Russel looked for an alibi. "Dad, it's all because
Unable to take her sister's abuse, Gennifer defended her husband, "Marvin took the right step. He's not willing to let me be used as a tool by you, Russell. One month's supply of certainty is better than Raymond's three-month offer of uncertainty."Gennifer spoke like that with reason. Although Harvard Corp was a company that often helped Winsoil, it was not as smooth as that. If twenty were needed, Harvard Corp would only provide twelve, and sometimes no more than half.And if Winsoil asks other than Harvard Corp, it will not be able to because it is limited by government regulations and the rules of Harvard Corp itself. Therefore, Winsoil is always under pressure, and in accordance with Marvin's words the other day that if this continues, it is clear that Winsoil will not be able to progress, forever.Gennifer said confidently, "I'll ask my husband for help.""No!" Russel snapped. "He'll get big-headed and pretentious if he can help our family."Derick hesitated. On one hand, he hat
When she arrived at Villa Winston, it was true that Gennifer had been spanked.Derick narrowed his eyes and snapped angrily, "Jesus, Gennifer! How could you fail?" Derick snorted in annoyance. "You're not reliable at all!"Gennifer braced her self. "I did everything I could, Father.""What effort? You left just an hour ago, and now you're back. Because we need you so badly, we have to spend a lot of time with the people from G10 Enterprise. You'll have to spend hours talking to Demian Carter if you want our offer to go through.""Our offer won't be approved, Dad. He said that G10 Enterprise will prioritise a new company in Gloriston because it's very promising, much more promising than Winsoil. In fact, they plan to spend fifty billion dollars."Derick was shocked to hear that. In Gloriston, there had never been a large company that received such a large injection of funds from G10 Enterprise. As G10 Enterprise was the most famous investment company in Gloriston, if there was a compan
Before their conversation got too long, Demian deliberately invited Gennifer to have a one-on-one chat at a cafe not far from the G10 Enterprise office.Demian sipped his latte, then said warmly, "Gennifer, why do you want to be ordered around by your own family? If it was the office secretary, or the manager, of course we would accept."The step taken by Gennifer, one of the reasons she actually wanted to make a face before her family, was that she wanted to be appointed as an important official in Winsoil, such as a secretary.Despite all her efforts and even risks, she never got any position. That was how unfair her father and brother were. If they were told to do something inappropriate, Gennifer would be the first to go.Gennifer leered, uncomfortable and worried, she glanced around. She replied flatly, "I am part of the Winston Family, it is my honourable duty to advance my family's business."Demian nodded in understanding. "True, but there are other women in Winsoil. Hm, but n
What a crazy offer!Gennifer Winston is very indecisive. Right now, she was hit with quite a test. She finally realised that it was true what her husband said, she was only used as a tool.If she accepts this crazy offer, it means that her personal pride will be tarnished. Suddenly time seemed to slow down and the world was getting narrower. She couldn't calm down and think clearly. What should she do?Demian Carter looked at her anxiously. "Miss Wilmer, I became very concerned when I saw your distress. If anything I said was a bit harsh, please forgive me. Alright, now let's get back to the bidding. I'm switching the investment funds to a loan, because if it's an investment, I'm a bit hesitant even though the return is more than twenty per cent. It's okay with a loan even if it's only twenty per cent for us, we just need certainty of profit."Gennifer's face was scared. He said softly, "Are there any other conditions? I object to sleeping with you, Mr Demian. I already have a husband
"Mr Rock, I would like to finish talking to this lady first, because her money is only one billion dollars in a very small company, then we will talk about our big business.""Is that woman from the Winston Family?""Exactly. The Winston family is very famous in Gloriston, famous because their oil business is not progressing. They are incompetent at finding oil sources."Currently, Demian is intrigued by the figure of Marvin Rock, but he will not discuss the Rock family at this time, for fear of offending his business partners."I believe the Winston Family business will rise, Demian Carter. I hope you stay with that woman for the next few minutes.""Alright, Mr Rock.""Have a good day."CLICK!Out of curiosity, Gennifer then asked a question to quell the curiosity, "Mr Demian, who is that man?""He's from the Rock Family, from a distant land, not from Gloriston. For sure, he's not from Gloriston, Miss Wilmer. Alright, where were we? Oh yes, one billion dollars and fifteen minutes."A
While travelling home in the car, Gennifer asked her husband, "How did you know, Marvin?""I followed you. Because I was worried about you, honey.""Do you believe that I'm loyal to you?""I always do. I'm stalking you, not because I don't trust you, but because I don't want anything to happen to you." In fact, Marvin knew all the contents of their conversation just now, it was just that Marvin pretended not to know."Don't get angry."Marvin smiled slightly and replied, "I'll never be mad at you. But I am angry with your family. They've gone too far with you, dear." When he thought about the rest of the Winston Family, Marvin was very upset. Until now, they still had the heart to treat Gennifer inappropriately.Meanwhile, Gennifer bit her own lip while thinking hard. He remembered the figure of "Mr Rock" from abroad whose business reached trillions of dollars.Out of curiosity, he asked, "Honey, is there a relative of yours overseas who is very successful? I heard that he is building
"I don't think my wife could say it because she was so excited." Marvin turned his gaze towards his father-in-law and said, "Father, if Winsoil gets a full year's worth of crude oil from Rockxill tomorrow and also gets permission from the government, then Gennifer should immediately be appointed secretary or better yet director, so that she can supervise incompetent subordinates."The problem lodged inside Roderick's skull was now being aggravated by the tirade of this babbling son-in-law. He leaned back again to calm the contents of his head that was about to burst.His black heart and the tangled threads in his head had blurred his eyes to see the bright light. Marvin's talk was like a light that would illuminate the darkness of the Winston Family.Currently, Winsoil also had a severe financial problem even though they had nothing to do with the bank, the reason being that the bank was also unwilling to lend them funds, especially in large amounts.Marvin is still waiting for Derick
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
