Joanna, feeling distraught, witnesses a man in a wheelchair proposing to his girlfriend at a restaurant. The girlfriend's rejection and subsequent insult for his disability left everyone stunned.

He was also the cold CEO of King Multinational, with a hidden identity, Salvatore Black, whose name caused even presidents shiver? Has she just signed a deal with the devil?
Chapter 44 - I can’t leave without her
Alex was working on some approvals when his mobile phone rang. Edmund answered it before giving it to him.
"Sir, your grandpa insists on talking to you."
The only thing that would make his grandpa call him at this hour was the dinner with the extended family.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will attend the dinner with my wife," Alex said as soon as he answered the call. The old man was relieved and asked,

Alex sighed, wondering why the old man lost trust in his ability to stand up to those old foxes. "I'm not a kid. Have you spoken to Logan?"
What Alex would hate would be for Logan to unite with some of the extended family members to make things difficult for him.
With the CEO position between them, Logan would surely want to make things difficult, but Grandpa was slightly guilty. "I've been busy."
In other words, he had forgotten, but Alex was not pleased with the response, sending a subtle warning.
