"I hope you are always well, Mr Rock," Ethelyne gave a warm smile and ignored Raymond.At this moment, Ethelyne knew about Marvin Rock going to build a big business. And to be sure, Ethelyne was well aware that Marvin was a potential new tycoon.Ethelyne was not the type of woman to harbour hurt feelings. She had already forgotten her disappointment the other day. When it comes to money, she will be professional and competent.When dealing with Marvin Rock, she would not give off an unfriendly impression, let alone utter words and gestures that would offend Marvin.In contrast to Raymond who treats Marvin badly, Ethelyne always maintains her appearance and demeanour. For her, Marvin must get special treatment.Still shocked, Raymond gawked at her. He repeatedly watched Marvin and Ethelyne. He thought, 'What kind of magic is Marvin playing?'"Miss Wilmer, the Wilmer Family's Oxy Electra has the same fate as our family's One Tesla," Raymond said with a grin. "What steps are you going to
"You're so beautiful in that white dress, darling," Marvin Rock said as he handed over a small white expensive bag as well.Gennifer Winston looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "Even though it's the thousandth time you've said that, I still don't get tired of hearing it."When Gennifer turned her body around, Marvin immediately embraced her tightly. Their hands were clasped together, and even though he couldn't dance, Marvin swayed as much as he could. Before long, he was kissing his wife passionately on the lips.Marvin was dapper in a black shirt and black trousers. Seeing Marvin's good looks, Gennifer gets more and more excited, but Marvin quickly ends this madness before something so time-consuming happens."We have to go now, honey. We can't be late for tonight's reunion which ... is quite lively," said Marvin while wiping his lips which had turned red from being smacked by Gennifer's soft lips.Seeing her husband like a clown, Gennifer chuckled am
After Calvin and Xiever hugged warmly and intimately, unlike his treatment of Marvin earlier, only then did Calvin grumble quite loudly at the entrance, "Xiever, my mate! You should see the physical condition of our old friend from the Rock Family!"Before Xiever could answer, his girlfriend who was wearing a pink top ran around a little until her calves and thighs went everywhere. "Hi! Hi!" greeted Viola cheerfully. She immediately embraced Xiever from the side.Xiever looked Marvin's figure up and down, time and time again. "You're not too skinny after being out of jail for so many days." Xiever chuckled, amazed. "I hope, you've brought about a good change even though your status as an ex-con is still attached to you."When he got out of there, Marvin's body was indeed a little thin, but because he had been eating good food and not forgetting to exercise, his body, which was indeed cool, slowly began to return to its former self.Marvin remained relaxed and calm. He and Gennifer sti
Xiever laughed as he stroked his tummy. His eyes blinked, confirming that he was not currently dreaming. "Calvin, I just found out that inhaling too much carbon dioxide and other toxic gases in prison can cause damage to certain parts of the brain."Calvin smiled and replied, "His right brain is a bit damaged. So when it comes to imaginative thinking, he'll overthink it. Ha-ha.""His left brain is also a bit damaged. He predicts the future without calculations, so his guesses are sometimes difficult for us to understand. Ha-ha-ha.""I really feel sorry for his wife. How come she still wants to," Viola swore as she rolled her lazy black eyes. Her lips were still twitching in disgust.All of their words would never be forgotten by Marvin. And of course he would never forget his own words either.Right now, he was still being friendly and calm. Not wanting to make a big scene, he won't be too offensive.But for sure, Marvin will surprise them all, some tonight, and some still waiting for
Jesslyn Sinclair currently works as a shopkeeper at a mall in Gloriston. After graduating from college, the short-haired policewoman found it difficult to get a job in a big company. If you ask her why, the right answer would be bad luck.If you ask her if she's stupid, she's definitely not. Besides having a good physique and a pretty voice, Jesslyn is smiling and generous, but only towards certain people. Some people might find her arrogant and ignorant, but that's not the case. Even though financially she doesn't count, Jesslyn still has a selling point.However, her presence tonight caused unrest in Gennifer's heart. She stood up and greeted, "Jess, how are you? We last met when I was looking for new trousers for my husband at the shop where you work.""Fine and well," she replied trying to be familiar. There had been envy and jealousy in Jesslyn's heart towards Gennifer for a long time. For her, Gennifer was the toughest rival in getting Marvin's heart.The three of them had actua
Xiever and Viola's eyeballs felt like they were going to jump out. Both of their mouths were gaping like fish deprived of oxygen.It was different with Gennifer. More and more, there was something wrong with her husband. After this event was over, she had to have a serious talk, she had to.Gennifer couldn't stop glancing at her husband's movements. It seemed like tonight was the culmination of all the weirdness she had experienced after her husband got out of prison.Meanwhile, Jesslyn was nervous beyond belief. She was still asking herself, was the phone call just now really true? Not a hoax and a trick?However, Jesslyn couldn't hide her happiness. Although it was only the interview stage, at least the news had been a breath of fresh air for her for years."Prepare yourself well, Jesslyn. The owner of Rockxill doesn't like arrogant people. Therefore, when you meet Mr Zavier, you should try to be humble and not make unnecessary appearances," Marvin said with a warm smile."Ehm!" int
"Hello Mr Marvin Rock, how are you?" greeted Ethelyne, standing right next to Marvin. She didn't care that Gennifer was nearby.Although the gossip between the two of them wasn't warm anymore, everyone couldn't possibly forget. And when Ethelyne Wilmer approached Marvin tonight, everyone was taken aback.Calvin's voice was ignored by all the reunion participants as their eyes were fixed on the owner of the red dress. Admiration, lust, wonder, all mixed together.Marvin didn't look Ethelyne in the eye, but answered her greeting simply. "Okay."Ethelyne pushed Jesslyn. "You move to the seat next to him, I'll be right next to Mr Rock."As usual, Jessyln didn't make much noise. She moved and complied with Miss Conglomerate's wishes. By this time, Jessyln was very self-conscious. She mostly kept her head down and was busy playing with her mobile phone.What is there to be proud of in Jessyln? Family? Possessions? Profession? Except for a few achievements. All of which are obviously pointle
Calvin sat right next to Xiever. Because he felt like an important and respected person, he deserved to sit at the same table with Miss Wilmer. He was trying to get attention."The red dress you're wearing is really beautiful, Miss Wilmer. I think you are the most beautiful and charming person today," he praised.Ethelyne was not the least bit impressed by the cheap compliment. Although the position of manager in this hotel was something Calvin was proud of, it meant nothing to Ethelyne.At this reunion event, her main goal was to win the heart of Marvin Rock, both for romantic and business purposes.However, it seems that Ethelyne's plan did not go well and the results did not match her expectations.What a disappointment.His praise unappreciated, Calvin turned his attention to Marvin. "Hey Rocky, did you ever enjoy the food menu here when you were in prison?"Marvin didn't need any defence from anyone. He answered for himself. "Never. Good food like this doesn't exist in prison."I
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
