This morning, before heading to the meeting, Darwin intentionally dropped Veronica off at the Vortex Group building. His wife indeed had a scheduled meeting with her father and also the representatives from Leighton to discuss the ongoing mining business developments in Malaysia.
Darwin should have been the one attending the meeting today. However, due to having other commitments, Veronica, who is also a leader, reluctantly took over her husband's role.
"Am I really taking over your position?" Veronica asked as the car driven by Darwin was heading towards the Vortex Group building.
Darwin nodded from his position. While keeping his focus on driving, he responded to his wife's question.
"Yes, dear. For today, you're filling in for me. You know that from the beginning I had a scheduled meeting with Mr. William, and it can't be postponed or delegated to someone else."

Sean continued to observe how Veronica presented the company's recent work progress. When it was his turn to step forward, he did the same. With confidence, he fulfilled his responsibilities and duties.Sean also engaged in substantial discussions and conversations with the Leighton representatives. This made Damian increasingly appreciate his performance and dedication in handling critical tasks."Are you sure you won't join Mr. Damian and the guests for lunch?" Sean asked outside the room. At the moment, he and Veronica were waiting for Damian, who was still engaged in a conversation with the Leighton representatives."Yes, I can't join you all," Veronica replied with a regretful expression. Her schedule for the day was quite packed. "At 2 pm, I have an appointment with a guest. Since Darwin isn't here, I have to stand in for him."Sean nodded understandingly. Even if he were in Darwin's place, Ver
Actually, Damian Ashborne and Magnus Walters have known each other and maintained a friendship since their school days until now. Furthermore, Magnus played a significant role by introducing Sophia, a beautiful woman who happens to be Veronica's biological mother.After years of friendship, an idea emerged. Because Damian wanted to ensure that their good relationship with Magnus would last a lifetime, he decided to arrange a marriage between his only daughter and Magnus's eldest son.The agreement was finally reached. Once their children grew up and reached the appropriate age, they would carry out the plan without giving Veronica and Darwin the chance to get to know each other better.Damian thought that Darwin would be fully responsible for his daughter's happiness. Moreover, considering Magnus's nature and character, Darwin was undoubtedly a caring, committed, reliable, and loyal man.However, wha
After the meeting with Vivian, Darwin continued to look agitated. He was worried that what he had done earlier would be known to Veronica and cause her anger or misunderstandings.That's why, when he returned home, Darwin hurried to approach his wife, intending to tell her what had happened.However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he found Veronica already lying on the bed, covered with a blanket that concealed her entire body. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and it was unusual for her to fall asleep so early."Darling..." Darwin called out as he approached the bed. When he sat down on the edge of the bed, he reached out with his hand, intending to caress Veronica's hair and cheek alternately.But as soon as his fingers touched her skin, Darwin realized something was wrong. Veronica's body felt warmer than usual. When she opened her eyes, she looked quite weak, like someone who was unwe
Vivian hung her head in despair. Beside her lay Lily, still unconscious in the coma that had gripped her for days. After undergoing several procedures, the doctor finally decided to move Lily to the ICU room. This was done so that intensive care and monitoring could be focused on by the doctors and nursing team. "Doctor, why is my aunt like this? Why has she been unconscious for days?" Vivian was naturally anxious. Dark thoughts were swirling in her mind. Where could she have known that the accident Lily had suffered would have such fatal consequences, leaving her unconscious like this? "All of this is due to the severe impact the patient experienced, leading to a closed traumatic brain injury," the doctor explained gently to Vivian. "What do you mean by a closed brain injury, doc? I really don't understand, and I'm completely unfamiliar with this." The doctor then show
Making sure his wife had breakfast and took her medicine, Darwin asked Veronica to rest again."You should just keep resting. I need to finish some work in the next room."Veronica didn't immediately agree. She appeared puzzled, seeing her husband, instead of getting ready for work, choosing to go to the workspace next to their room."It's already nine o'clock, Win. Aren't you getting ready for work? You might be late."Darwin shook his head. Knowing that his wife wasn't feeling well, he decided to take a day off to stay home and take care of Veronica."I've decided to work from home today. Besides, there are no important meetings or appointments today.""Are you sure?"Darwin nodded repeatedly."Yes, dear. Besides, I can't bear to leave you alone at home in this condition.""But we have Renata he
"Is there something I need to do, Sir?"Currently, Deasy was in Damian's office. She had been deliberately called and asked to meet with the highest-ranking executive of the Vortex Group.Deasy thought that she had been called for an important task that needed her immediate attention. However, when she faced Damian and saw him in person, she had a feeling there was another reason why she had been summoned."Please have a seat; I want to ask you something about Darwin. This has nothing to do with work, so we can talk casually."Deasy nodded obediently. She took a few steps forward and seated herself directly in front of Damian."What issue does Mr. Damian want to discuss or ask about concerning Darwin?""It's about Darwin," Damian responded, his tone sounding cold. His gaze was difficult to decipher.Deasy, on the other hand, couldn't help
"Total of two days, Veronica took complete rest at home. During that time, Darwin appeared quite serious in taking care of her. He prepared breakfast, then came home briefly to accompany her for lunch. And as evening approached, he returned home earlier so they could have dinner together and then relax until it was time to rest. This morning, after making sure her condition had improved, Veronica decided to start being active again. Actually, Darwin still wanted his wife to rest at home for another day. But because Veronica seemed so bored already, he had no choice but to give her permission. "Actually, there isn't much work at the office either, dear. Why not just work tomorrow?" At the moment, they were both enjoying breakfast. Before heading out, Darwin once again tried to persuade Veronica to just stay home and rest. "I'm already feeling better. It's so boring staying at home all the time
After finishing her remaining work, Veronica hurried to her father's office. She didn't have any premonitions or bad thoughts at the time.Upon entering her father's office, Veronica acted as usual. She approached and hugged him briefly before starting the conversation."Why did you suddenly ask me to come here, Dad? Is what you want to talk about really serious?"Damian nodded. His expression remained flat. Perhaps he was still upset about remembering Darwin's bad behavior toward his daughter. He couldn't believe that Veronica had been treated so unfairly by her own choice."Take a seat," Damian ordered after a brief silence.Veronica complied and pulled a chair, sitting right in front of her father."What's going on, Dad?""I just want to ask, how is your relationship with Darwin?"Veronica was puzzled by her father
