My Cold Billionaire 59. Follow Your Advice
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

Instead of feeling sad, Edward, who had been in Nicholas's office since earlier, wore a smirk. He had been smiling non-stop. He wanted to laugh, but he knew better than to do it openly."Stop making fun of me, Ed. I hope one day you'll feel what I'm feeling right now."Edward couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. He burst into laughter, making Nicholas even more irritated."This is the first time I've seen someone so foolish, Nick. You're truly pathetic."Nicholas grumbled in frustration. "You've gone too far, Ed. Aren't you sympathetic to what's happening to me? Even last night, when that guy attacked me, you didn't help at all!" Nicholas protested."Why should I help?" Edward teased. "You needed a wake-up call. I might have punched you myself if that guy hadn't punched you in the face last night. Instead of apologizing, you called Kimberly cheap. What a moron! Where did you leave your brain, Mr. Alistair?" Edward sneered, venting all his frustration on Nicholas.As they continued

"So, how did you know that Kimberly is the granddaughter of someone named Arthur Rayder?" Nicholas asked, curious.This evening, after returning from work, Nicholas and Kenzi decided to stop by a coffee shop for a chat. Oh, and let's not forget Edward. As the life of the party and the 'hype man,' he was also present. There was no way he would miss a moment like this.Kenzi had her own agenda for coming to Indonesia. There was an important meeting she had to attend. In fact, the day after tomorrow, once the event was over, she had to rush back to London. There was no one to fill her shoes there.Kenzi took a sip of her coffee, which she had been holding, and then answered, "Actually, when I found out you were getting close to your secretary, I asked Hans to investigate Kimberly's background. The woman you thought was ordinary turned out to be the granddaughter of a Singaporean conglomerate. However, in recent years, after being left by his son and wife, Arthur chose to live in Indonesi

Saturday morning, Nicholas finally mustered the courage to go to Kimberly's actual home. Armed with the address provided by Kenzi, he drove straight to an elite and private area in the middle of Jakarta.After twenty minutes of driving, Nicholas finally arrived at a luxurious house surrounded by many security personnel. He hesitated to get out of the car, but he quickly realized it was unnecessary. He thought, "What's the point of bringing Edward if he's not reliable?"Nicholas intentionally brought Edward along, for some reason, he was very sure that Edward's presence was needed this time. For example, just like now. Edward reluctantly stepped out of the car to approach the group of security personnel stationed in front of Arthur Rayder's house.Edward grumbled irritably. "You only consider me a friend when it comes to dirty work like this. What a cheek!" A moment later, Edward confidently got out of the car and approached the security checkpoint."Excuse me," Edward greeted one of t

Nicholas sat in Kimberly's room in his apartment, lost in thought. Since the woman had left, Nicholas had often spent his time here, reminiscing while looking at photos of her. It wasn't uncommon for him to fall asleep here. Even after holding back for so long, today, Nicholas couldn't hold back his tears any longer.Tears had fallen many times, wetting his cheeks. In reality, the pain he felt now was sharper than when he had found out Claire had cheated on him.Nicholas remembered the first time he had asked Kimberly to be his fake girlfriend. He recalled how stubborn she had been initially, but without any clear reason, she had suddenly agreed.Nicholas had initially thought of Kimberly as an annoying woman. He had even openly stated that she wasn't his type. But as time went on, he couldn't pinpoint exactly when, Nicholas felt that Kimberly's presence brought a unique color to his life.Living next door to Kimberly didn't immediately make him declare his love. How foolish he had be

"How's it going, Nick? Any news about Kimberly?" Edward asked as he and Nicholas sat in a restaurant this afternoon. After a meeting with one of their clients outside the office, they decided to grab lunch together first.Nicholas, who had just finished ordering his food, leaned back against the chair. He took a deep breath and then shook his head slightly as a response to Edward's question."I'm having trouble locating Kimberly. I don't know if she went to a hard-to-reach place on her own or if Mario has tightened security," Nicholas replied. His frustration was evident from his facial expression."You know, Ed, I've never been this hopeless. I feel like I just want to die," Nicholas said, taking a quick sip of the coffee in front of him."Oh, come on, you idiot!" Edward exclaimed in frustration. "If you die, who's going to fight for Kimberly? Your ghost in hell, is that it?" Edward grumbled. "Are you willing to just let the woman you love marry someone else? Is that what you want?"

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.

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.

Mario asked while they were in Arthur's office.Arthur, who was engrossed in reading a book, paused.

"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.
