My Cold Billionaire 54. What Happening
Three days ago, Nicholas was sitting in an executive lounge inside the airport. His flight to the Maldives would take off in just one more hour. While waiting, he chose to read stock market news on his handheld tablet. Before long, Nicholas's phone rang. He had just received a new message from the woman he loved.Kimberly: [I've arrived at the office. It hasn't been long since we parted, but I already miss you.]Unconsciously, Nicholas smiled as he read the message. Kimberly was indeed different from most other women. She was carefree, somewhat assertive, and never shy about expressing her feelings. That's why, if asked what was making Nicholas happy right now, his answer would be just one word, 'Kimberly.' Only she could currently bring color back into his life. Nicholas: [I must miss you too. Now, get to work quickly. Complete all the tasks I assigned to you. I won't hesitate to cut your salary if that deadline isn't met soon.]Kimberly: [You're scolding me at a time like this?]N

"Nick, we need to talk seriously!" Edward stood up and approached the spot where Nicholas was sitting. After completing the impromptu meeting in Nicholas's office with several division heads, Edward chose to stay. There was something that, in his opinion, needed to be resolved promptly. Nicholas, who was still busy signing some important documents, only responded briefly to Edward's statement. "Get to the point. You know I'm not the type of person who likes to beat around the bush," Nicholas said without shifting his gaze. "It's about Kimberly. You really went too far earlier. Why did you have to shout at her and drive her away like that?" Edward interrogated. His eye expression indicated his displeasure. "I did what was appropriate, Ed. You know that if she spills drinks all over important documents on the table, I might have fired any other employee on the spot," Nicholas replied casually. There was not a hint of guilt on his face. Edward grunted in frustration. He had begun to t

For more than thirty minutes, Mario waited anxiously outside the emergency unit room. Finding Kimberly suddenly fainting had clearly panicked him. What had actually happened to his friend? Was she ill? Was she under too much pressure? What burdens was she carrying? All these questions filled Mario's mind. Kimberly's pale face, swollen eyes – her condition was chaotic. Did all of this have something to do with Nicholas? If I find out that Nicholas caused all of this, he won't escape from me! Mario sighed deeply, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the emergency room door. Nearly losing his patience and contemplating breaking in, he finally saw the doctor he had been waiting for emerge and approach. "How is she, doctor?" Mario asked, unable to conceal his anxiety. "Is the young lady inside your sister?" Mario chose to nod. "Yes, doc. How is she?" "Her condition is unstable. Her blood pressure is very low. And, I apologize if this is forward, but are you aware if your sister is currently

Nicholas fell silent as he gazed at a series of photos of Kimberly on his phone. These were the pictures he had taken secretly during their recent trip to London. He had captured quite a few moments, from her smiling to pouting and even laughing freely. The woman looked beautiful in every pose she struck. Delving into each image stored on his phone, Nicholas unconsciously smiled. He had to admit that she had brought significant changes to his life, injecting color and freshness when his heart was barren due to the deep wounds Claire had inflicted before. Nicholas closed his eyes for quite a while, trying to recall the memory of when they first met. Well, it all started with that accidental encounter when Kimberly inadvertently bumped into him, causing both of them to tumble to the floor. Then, his memory shifted to the first time Kimberly had hugged him. She had been frightened when trapped in the archive building during a power outage. Perhaps out of all those memories, what stood

"So, Mr. Yamamoto, when did you start investing in our company?" Edward asked one of their clients in this afternoon's meeting. The client seemed to ponder. He kept rubbing his chin several times. His forehead even creased as if he was deep in thought. "Mr. Nicholas, I want to invest a significant amount in your company. But can you build a shopping center in the Central Park area?" The client threw out a question. Edward's eyes widened. "But that's a risky area. How can we take the risk of building—" "Yes," Nicholas cut in. "We are ready to build it there. Mr. Edward will consider all possibilities. We will provide reports on various possibilities." Nicholas spoke with such confidence. Meanwhile, Edward looked at him in disbelief. "Ah, I like doing business with you, Mr. Nicholas. You're so optimistic. Not like your colleague next to you," Yamamoto intentionally taunted Edward. Nicholas smiled broadly. "Don't worry; we will make it happen as long as the investment you provide

Arthur Rayder stared intently at Kimberly, who was sitting beside him. He struggled to restrain himself, but it was evident that it was difficult. A single tear rolled down his cheek, moistening the wrinkled skin that showed the signs of age. Whose heart wouldn't ache upon hearing that the person they loved was suffering from a serious illness? Yes, Kimberly had just informed Arthur about the illness she had recently been diagnosed with. After Kimberly's parents had passed away, it was Arthur who took care of her all by himself, providing her with the best. He always fulfilled Kimberly's wishes, making her a smart, graceful, yet humble woman. Arthur felt deeply guilty, considering himself a failure for not being able to protect his only grandchild. He couldn't find the right words, so he could only hold Kimberly tightly. "Forgive me, Kimmy," the old man whispered. "I feel like I've failed to protect you," he continued, his face reflecting profound sadness. Kimberly offered a smile

Edward and Nicholas had just stepped out of the car and entered the Ritz Carlton hotel. Tonight, there was a dinner reception with all the executive businessmen from various industries in Asia, including construction, automotive, telecommunications, shipping, and oil. Upon entering the ballroom, they saw many guests bustling about. Nicholas recognized almost everyone in the room, and he and Edward greeted anyone they met. Edward suddenly locked eyes with someone he seemed to know well. To make sure he wasn't mistaken, he moved closer, trying to get a better look. It turned out to be Kimberly. He wondered why Kimberly would attend an event like this. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Edward approached Nicholas, who had been engrossed in conversation. Without asking for permission, he forcefully pulled his friend's arm, making him follow. "What's the matter? Why are you pulling me like this, Ed? You startled me!" "Hush, keep quiet!" Edward replied. "Don't talk too much. I want t

A few hours earlier,"Are you sure about your decision to manage the company?" After a lengthy conversation with Arthur, Mario and Kimberly were now sitting together on the back porch. He had to convince Kimberly once again about her decision to take over the company.Mario knew for sure that Kimberly had never been interested in anything related to Rayder Corp. That's why he didn't want her to feel burdened. Managing so many companies was no easy task, especially since Kimberly had no experience at all.Kimberly took a deep breath. Her facial expression was calm."I'm very sure. Even though I wasn't interested before, the situation is different now. Grandpa really needs my help."Mario smiled. The woman was truly unpredictable. Who knows what other surprises Kimberly would reveal in the future."Whatever you need, I will help you, Kimmy. Anything at all. I also believe that you'll become a respected leader among colleagues or rivals." Mario spoke with confidence.Kimberly smiled fai

They had just returned from a meeting outside the office.Nicholas sighed deeply while continuing to massage his temples. For some reason, since yesterday, he had been feeling unwell. Now, it even felt worse than before."I can't, Ed. I need to finish my tasks soon. I have only a week left before I really move from Alpha Beta and take care of Rayder Corp," Nicholas replied, still holding his forehead.Edward shook his head vigorously. He was very certain that his friend's condition was not okay at the moment. He was just afraid that something bad might happen to Nicholas."In that case, I'll get you some hot tea." Edward then got up and walked quickly to the pantry. He grabbed a cup of tea and brought it immediately to Nicholas's room, handing it over."Drink it quickly. After this, I'll help you finish all your tasks so you can go home early."Nicholas nodded and reached

"Oh, come on, dear. Just enjoy your party for now. I promise to explain everything once everything's over."Nicholas shook his head in disbelief, observing his mother's behavior.

After thinking for a while, she realized who had helped her gather the information.Quickly, Kimberly grabbed her cellphone, searched for someone's number in her contacts list, and dialed it promptly. After three rings, the call was finally answered."Hello," a voice on the other side replied."Hello, Mr. Edward. It's me, Kimberly. Can I ask for your help?" Kimberly inquired."Oh my goodness, Kimberly," Edward exclaimed in surprise. "What's the reason for calling me so early in the morning?""Can I... Can I ask about Nicholas's address in London?"

Then, at some point, she accidentally met Cassandra, a young woman who had dedicated half of her life to helping street children and orphans.

He also became the largest donor for the charity event organized by Veronica.Somehow, at some point, Cassandra developed a relationship with Robert Alistair and decided to get married.

It was only occasionally when she was traveling to Singapore.Arthur reached for the teacup already placed on his table. He took a sip and continued speaking.

The old man was even busy socializing with the business colleagues who were present at the party.Among the many happy people, only Kimberly seemed ordinary. She even appeared distant from the crowd, choosing to sit alone in one corner of the event room while continuously gazing at Mario from a distance.She should have felt relieved because she wasn't the one accompanying Mario tonight. Yes, a few days ago, Kimberly almost couldn't breathe when he suddenly brought up the topic of engagement. She thought that her grandfather, Arthur, was really going to arrange a match between them. However, Mario revealed that he would be engaged to another woman."So, is Grandpa really going to arrange a match between us?" Mario didn't immediately answer. He remained silent for quite a while, which only made Kimberly's thoughts wande

For the translated text in American English with correct grammar, please see below:"For the past two days, Arthur had been observing Kimberly, who seemed so gloomy. The woman went to work listlessly and returned home in silence. Usually, Kimberly always had something to share with him, whether it was work-related issues or just casual conversations about her daily life.Curious, that evening, Arthur finally asked Mario when the two of them had just returned from the office. He was convinced that Mario knew what was happening with his granddaughter lately."Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Mario asked while they were in Arthur's office.Arthur, who was engrossed in reading a book, paused. He first took off his glasses and then placed the book he had been holding aside."Have a seat," Arthur instructed. "There's something I want to ask you."Mario complied with Arthur's request, taking a seat right next to the elderly man."What does grandpa want to ask about?""About

"I choose Alpha Beta," Arthur Rayder stared at Nicholas with an expression that was difficult to interpret after hearing what the man had chosen. He remained silent for quite some time before finally smiling and asking, "Are you sure you chose Alpha Beta over my granddaughter?"Nicholas nodded. "I'm sure. Very sure. Congratulations, in this game, you're the winner."Arthur squinted at Nicholas. There were many things he wanted to ask the man."As I suspected. You never really loved my granddaughter. It was quite evident when you chose money over—""You shouldn't jump to conclusions," Nicholas interrupted. Arthur glared at him. He didn't appreciate it when someone deliberately cut him off mid-sentence.Arthur sighed in his position. "Then what's your reason for not choosing Kimberly?"Nicholas took a slow breath. It wasn't easy making a decision like this."I love Kimberly. There's no other woman I love besides your granddaughter. However, I can't be selfish. I thought that if I cancel

Arthur was sitting casually in his office, looking at the neatly arranged photos of Kimberly in an album. Mario was there, accompanying the old man. He had been asked to come early in the morning, even though it was a holiday. Arthur wondered what he wanted to talk to Mario about.Arthur smiled as he commented, "Kimberly is such a cheerful girl. Look, in almost all these neatly arranged photos, she's always laughing or smiling." Arthur showed a specific photo to Mario.Mario looked at each photo that Arthur displayed. Kimberly appeared in various poses in the pictures. Mario nodded in agreement."In all the time I've known her, I've only seen Kimberly cry twice. First, when she found out her mother had passed away. Second, when she decided to leave Nicholas Alistair's apartment."Arthur leaned back in his chair. Hearing Mario's last sentence made his blood boil."That brat had the audacity to make my granddaughter cry. Who is he, daring to do such a thing?""They just had a misunderst
