My Cold Billionaire 66. Let Me Show You
"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?"

Arthur sat on a sofa in one corner of the VIP room at the hospital. He continued to wait patiently for Kimberly, who had yet to regain consciousness after her surgery. While waiting, he noticed a man walking slowly but confidently toward him from a distance. In a short while, the man sat right next to Arthur, looking somewhat perplexed.Arthur gave the man a cold smile."Are you Nicholas Alistair?" Arthur scanned Nicholas's appearance from head to toe, trying to assess his character.Nicholas nodded nervously. "Yes, I'm Nicholas Alistair. Who are you, and what's the reason for bringing me here?"Nicholas was naturally bewildered. He had just returned home and was suddenly ambushed by unknown individuals. They forced him onto a private jet and flew to an unfamiliar location. Only after disembarking from the plane did he realize he was in Singapore.But what puzzled him even more was why he had been brought to a hospital and was now meeting an elderly man he had never seen before.This

Kimberly blinked her eyes slowly. When they opened fully, the first thing she saw was Mario. With a worried expression, he immediately rushed into a hug. He held her tightly, and even crystal-clear tears flowed from his eyes and landed on Kimberly's smooth cheek."Why are you crying?" Kimberly asked in a hoarse, almost whispering voice.Mario released his embrace, wiped the tears from his cheeks, and smiled."It's okay. I was just touched that you finally woke up. You know, both Opa and I were worried because your condition was critical earlier."Kimberly tried to return the smile."I'm fine now. See, I can open my eyes. By the way, where's Opa?" Kimberly didn't see the old man in the room."Opa is talking to the doctor who was taking care of you outside. He might come in soon."Seeing Mario sitting beside her, Kimberly bombarded him with questions. There was something bothering her since earlier."Can I ask you something?" Kimberly whispered.Mario shifted his gaze and looked deeply

"A woman in a black blazer suit gracefully walks along the corridor of the Alpha Beta Corporation building. Everyone even bows in respect as they accidentally cross paths with her.She glides freely towards a room located on the 15th floor. Upon arrival, a secretary waiting outside politely guides her to enter the CEO's office.Inside, two men are deeply engrossed in a serious discussion. They initially don't even notice the arrival of another figure in the room until the woman speaks up."It's been so long since we met, honey," she greets the men with a smile.Nicholas and Edward, who were engrossed in their conversation, suddenly turn and display equally surprised expressions. Moments later, they both stand up to greet her."Mama..." Nicholas addresses the woman, who turns out to be Cassandra, his own mother."Yes, it's me, Mama. Why are you always surprised when Mama visits?" Cassandra chuckles and takes a step to sit on the guest sofa on the left side of the room. Nicholas and Edw

Kimberly stared vacantly out of the window of the room she occupied. It was the seventh day since she had undergone cancer surgery. Now, she was in Indonesia, at the Rayder family residence.Despite having to undergo chemotherapy several more times, she had to remain positive. Kimberly was determined to recover quickly so that she could assist Arthur in managing the company as soon as possible. She didn't want to disappoint his expectations and trust this time."Kimmy, can we start learning now?"Kimberly immediately turned toward the open bedroom door. Mario was standing there, flashing a smile.Kimberly nodded."I've been ready for a while. So, where are we going to study?" she asked."In Opa's office. There, we'll have more space."Then Kimberly followed Mario to Arthur's office on the first floor. Today, he planned to teach Kimberly about managing the company. This was done so that she could take Arthur's place as soon as possible."You can sit down first; I'll fetch some document

"Nick, did you bring all the files?" Edward asked as he and Nicholas walked towards the lobby of the Alpha Beta building.Nicholas nodded. "I've brought everything. Nothing's left behind."Upon reaching the lobby, Nicholas handed over the keys to his car to Edward."You be the driver. I want to go over our presentation material for the American investors again," he said.Edward agreed to Nicholas's request and reached for the car keys handed to him."We need to hurry. You know how bad the traffic in Jakarta can be at this hour."During the journey to the Capital building, Nicholas appeared busy reading through the presentation material one by one. His expression was so serious as if he didn't want to be disturbed. Edward, who understood, chose to concentrate on driving rather than bothering him as usual."I've read and mastered our material. I'm confident we can secure the 25 trillion tender," Nicholas said with conviction.From behind the wheel, Edward smiled faintly. "As usual, your

Taking almost three hours, the presentations gradually came to an end, and it was Kimberly's turn to shine. From his seat, Nicholas didn't blink an eye. His gaze was fixed on Kimberly, who presented her company's material with great confidence.Listening from start to finish, Nicholas finally drew a conclusion. Kimberly was quite skilled and had a strong command of the material she presented. She demonstrated her ability by answering all of Capital's questions effectively and thoughtfully."It turns out Kimberly is quite outstanding, Nick," Edward quipped between presentations.Nicholas turned to him, furrowing his brow in confusion. "Outstanding in what way, Ed?"Edward chuckled softly, leaned closer, and whispered, "She's beautiful, the granddaughter of a conglomerate, and intelligent to boot. I'm sure many are vying to be her partner. I'm also very certain that when Kimberly falls for you, she'll be in a moment of weakness.""Weakness, how?" Nicholas asked.Edward whispered again,

"Never meet me again, no matter the reason!" Kimberly's words kept echoing in Nicholas's head. Before he could respond yesterday, the woman had already drawn her own conclusions. Always like that. Actually, Nicholas and Kimberly were a compatible couple. Nicholas, as a man, took too long to make decisions, while Kimberly, as a woman, jumped to conclusions too quickly. That's what caused them to constantly misunderstand each other.If only you had listened to my explanation.If only you had given me a little time.Nicholas closed his eyes dramatically.Why is it so difficult to convince you?Nicholas's reverie was interrupted when his office door was knocked. A woman entered shortly after, and her presence always made his heart and mind uneasy."Is Mom bothering you with your work?" Cassandra walked in and sat down in a chair right in front of Nicholas.Nicholas shook his head."No, I'm not busy. Is Dad's work in Thailand finished?" Nicholas asked in return.Cassandra nodded."Yes, a

The next two months."Nick, I think you should come home soon. Your face looks really pale now," Edward suggested. 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

After returning from London, Kimberly and Nicholas were busy with various wedding preparations. From fitting wedding attire to pre-wedding photos, everything had to be done quickly due to their limited time. Cassandra and Arthur didn't hold back; they even chose BVLGARI RESORT BALI as the venue for the celebration.BVLGARI is a luxurious five-star resort perched on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. Its location is not far from Pura Luhur Uluwatu and the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.Embracing a beachfront wedding theme, all preparations had reached 95%. Nicholas and Kimberly couldn't believe how meticulously and perfectly Cassandra had arranged everything. She even hired a top-tier wedding organizer like 'Belvedere' to handle Nicholas and Kimberly's wedding."Mama is truly amazing," Nicholas said proudly. He was amazed by what his mother had done.Cassandra clasped her hands to her chest, a smile on her lips as she heard her son's praise."I'll do anything for you, my dear.
My Cold Billionaire 83. Damn!
All the invited guests never ceased to congratulate Nicholas and Kimberly. Everyone seemed lost in the euphoria of this luxurious engagement party.While all the guests were busy enjoying their meals, Nicholas, who was watching Cassandra relaxing, went straight to her and pulled her to the garden's edge."Mom owes me an explanation," Nicholas whispered.Cassandra chuckled softly, keeping her composure. "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. Meanwhile, in a different location, Kimberly also looked puzzled. She chose to remain silent but kept her facial expression looking joyful. Yes, even though she was genuinely surprised and, of course, happy. However, amidst all this, she hadn't even exchanged a word with Nicholas. The two of them mostly just stared at each other without speaking.After the guests left one by one, Cassandra kept her promise. She
My Cold Billionaire 82. Big Surprise
Since morning, Kimberly has been busy packing her belongings to put them in her suitcase. After hearing Arthur Rayder's explanation about Nicholas last night, she decided to join the man in London as soon as possible.Enjoying the packing process, Kimberly suddenly remembered that she didn't remember Nicholas's address or his parents' addresses. 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?" Kimberly hesitantly asked."Of course, you can. But, I'm sorry in advance, why are you asking for

Arthur remembered well that Veronica, his wife, had been very active in charity work. Then, at some point, she accidentally met Cassandra, a young woman who had dedicated half of her life to helping street children and orphans. They both worked together to provide assistance until the time when Cassandra, by chance, met Robert Alistair, who was working in Singapore at that time. 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. After becoming husband and wife, Robert brought Cassandra with him to England. Since then, Veronica and Arthur rarely met Cassandra. 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. "So, what brings you all the way here to meet me?"Cassandra took her own drink, sipped it slowly, and then placed her cup back on the tabl

Mario never seemed tired of smiling at all the guests who attended. His face was radiant after formally getting engaged just a few hours ago.Arthur was also delighted. 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
