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 even though her heart was very resistant. Only this time she appeared bolder, maybe the reason was because Marvin was beside him. Surprised, Elena immediately interrupted, “Gennifer, you can't talk like that! You must respect the Son of Harvard!” Derrick is the same. He was even angry with his daughter. "Don't you ever snap at him again, Gennifer!" Russel immediately embraced Raymond because he was uncomfortable. “Gennifer is in trouble. I'm sorry if he wasn't polite just now. Please sit down, brother. What would you like to drink?" Russell treated Raymond very differently to his own brother-in-law. How outrageous. Derick and Elena as the power holders, of course his attention will be more inclined to Raymond, than the ex-convict's son-in-law, from any point of view. After pressure and seduction from Russell, Roderick and Elena finally insist that Raymond should be Gennifer's husband. When Raymond and Marvin were juxtaposed, according to Roderick and Elena, they were like emeralds and pebbles. An unbalanced comparison. Of businesses, for example, Rock Electra is one-fifty of Harvard Corp's total business. Far away. The only way to resurrect the Winston Family business was to form a partnership with Harvard Corp. Those are the options they have in their heads and there are no other options. A dead price option. If they turned around, within the next few months they would be bankrupt. Russell motioned for Raymond to sit right next to him, then said kindly, “Brother, if you've never seen a convict delusional pathetic, now do. He is right before our eyes!” Raymond was happily dumbfounded. There was a smirk at the corner of his lips. "Even worse than I imagined. If he just gave up and chose to be an ordinary person, he'd be much better off, Russell." Russell pouted lightly. He snorted and said, "I just found out, after getting out of prison, the face will be thick and the shame will disappear, apparently." His chest was getting tight. Marvin stared at the faces of the two people for a long time. Yes, they are both masterminds Actually. For now, Marvin really can't do much, but wait for a while, he will silence these trash mouths. Raymond is arrogant and purposely trying to make faces. If he really wanted to be good, he should have long ago. And one more thing, if he really loves Gennifer, but strangely he acts cold and doesn't care. The funny thing is, this attitude was not realized by the Winston Family. Raymond said casually, “I'll be helping Winsoil for this one month with crude oil supplies. Next week I will try. There are no conditions whatsoever, but only one.”Derick, Elena, and Russel love to beg for mercy. Hearing Raymond's words just now, it was as if they got one extra life to live in the world. "What are the conditions?" asked Derick very curiously. Proudly, Raymond replied coldly, "Tell this ex-con to lick the soles of my shoes now!" Gennifer was the first to react. “You've gone mad, Raymond! Don't underestimate my husband!" Before Gennifer's rambling could get any longer, Elena hastily cut in, “Stop, Gennifer! You don't meddle! For one year you have always failed in managing the family business, you are not reliable!” Russell was patient with his sister. "Calm down, Dick. Better to just shut up and listen. Licking the soles of shoes is way better than all of us getting groggy for a whole month. And I'm sure Marvin would choose to lick the soles of Raymond's shoes instead of languishing in jail even for one day.” For the Winston Family, the offer Raymond made just now had no effect on them at all. Whatever Marvin will do, they just accept it. If Marvin did it even a thousand times, they didn't care. Even though his status as an ex-convict cannot be erased for life, Marvin is a person who always maintains his honor and good name. "I do not accept! Hey you Raymond, that one week you worked for was nothing. I will provide Winsoil's crude oil needs for one month, tomorrow!” Everyone was stunned. Russell's eyeballs felt like they were going to pop out from the shock. “You, Miserable Brother-in-law! Stop fantasizing! I know you've gone a bit crazy after you left prison, but we beg you not to show us your madness!” Derick gaped. Has the son-in-law gone mad? Tomorrow? Marvin will provide a month's supply of crude oil? “Marvin, you can't even take care of yourself, how are you going to help our family business?! Stop your bullshit!” Raymond stood up and clapped his hands, as if giving Marvin a look of admiration. He sneered contemptuously, “You just got out of jail, Fool, don't ever embarrass yourself in front of your own wife's family. Lick the soles of my shoes now, and we'll forget about your crazy talk just now.” Raymond crossed his arms over his chest in a haughty manner. "We bet! If you are a man!" Raymond smiled sideways while narrowing his eyes. "Good grief! What are you betting on, Crazy?!” “I know that the price of crude oil specifically for Winsoil for one month is one billion dollars. So ....." "Ha ha ha." Russell and Raymond giggled. In their opinion, Marvin was too innocent. Even a high school kid could make a statement like that. Raymond smiled mockingly. "You're smart too after S3 school in the detention cell. Ha ha." Gennifer was very restless. In his mind, she thought that Marvin would place the bet the same way he had bet with Russell. Gennifer's heart pounded. What she heard at this time really did not make sense. She gave up. Marvin widened his eyes and said firmly, “Okay, if tomorrow there is a billion dollar supply of crude oil to Winsoil, you Raymond, will lick the soles of my shoes! If I fail, I will divorce my wife, then please marry me!”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
Marvin was so furious with Raymond, if after beating him black and white that it was over, in other words there would be no involvement of the authorities in upholding the law, Marvin would have beaten Raymond's face thoroughly, maybe to death. It's just that fighting will only make him miserable. If even one punch landed on Raymond's face, tonight's fix, the police and his family's attorney would immediately come to the Winston Family's residence. All this time, the people in the household were really astonished to hear Marvin's words, they were worried, anxious, and afraid that in the future the Harvard Family would come and make demands. "Before waiting for tomorrow, let's finish our business first, Raymond!" Marvin said as he lifted the sole of his shoe. “I hope there is chocolate flavor in here. Of course you like chocolate, don't you?" Raymond Harvard was aghast. His eyes widened, then there was a line on his forehead, his emotions exploded. "You! How presumptuous!”
Five minutes, still no connection. Raymond stood and put his hands on his hips. “Who did you contact, idiot?! You're pretending to be the buyer of those expensive flowers, huh?!” Raymond said with a face that immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, from anxious to happy. All eyes were on Marvin. Credit is there, quota is there, signal is good. Marvin pulled himself together. “It's already evening. The shop must be closed and the phone is off.” Russel quickly attacked. "Reason! You are a liar, shameful Brother-in-law! I already thought that someone sent the wrong flowers. There are hundreds of Gennifer names in Gloriston. It could be the wrong address." Russell started energetic again. Raymond gave him a contemptuous look. “And you want to buy Red Diamond for your wife? Dream! You are an ex-con who has a hobby of hallucinating. You should go to the library often and read lots of self-development books, Rocky!" Raymond was very excited to let out a sadi
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
