WARMING THE BILLIONAIRE COLD HEART

A red sports car has just parked at a luxurious house in an exclusive and highly private area. This location, long known as Beverly Hills Indonesia, is home to many important individuals, such as heavyweight entrepreneurs and famous artists.

A tall man, standing at approximately 180 centimeters, steps out of the car and enters the house. His brown hair gleams under the scorching midday sun.

Removing the sunglasses he had been wearing, the man now stands next to the family room’s sofa.

“Uncle Arthur, how are you?” Mario says. His body language clearly shows his deep respect for the elderly man before him.

Arthur Rayder folds the newspaper he’s been reading and smiles.

“Take a seat, why are you being so formal with me?” he commands.

Mario smiles and obeys Arthur’s request.

“How are you, Uncle? I see you’re healthier and more vibrant now.”

Arthur nods.

“Yes, perhaps the healthy lifestyle I’ve been leading in recent months has made me better than before. But I still can’t fully manage the company.”

“Isn’t there Uncle Adrian who can help you run the company?” Mario asks.

This time, Arthur shakes his head.

“We can’t rely on Adrian. He’s very different from Afrian, Kimberly’s father. Adrian prefers working in the arts rather than running a business. That’s been causing me headaches all this time.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Why not ask Kimberly to continue all the businesses you’ve been running?” Mario suggests.

Arthur gazes at Mario intently, weighing whether to reveal what he’s thinking to the young man before him.

“Do you know why I wanted to matchmake you with Kimberly?”

“So that the Rayder and Wolfe families could unite and dominate in all business fields,” Mario confidently responds.

Arthur shakes his head.

“Not just that, Mario. You and Kimberly have been friends since childhood, and I know your personality very well. That’s why I want you to become my grandson-in-law and continue my efforts. I’ve always known that the Wolfe lineage is renowned for its business acumen.”

Mario’s face looks calm.

“Whatever it is, I’m happy to help, Uncle. The Rayder family has always assisted the Wolfe family in any way possible. So, it’s only right that I help with anything you ask.”

Arthur smiles. He has always been confident in Mario’s reliability. Besides having a good personality, Mario possesses skills that should not be underestimated. His business acumen is beyond doubt. However, Arthur regrets why Kimberly vehemently rejected being matched with Mario. Instead, the young woman chose to leave home. Not exactly leaving but more like running away and choosing a hard life out there. Despite her wealth that would not be exhausted for seven generations. Arthur cannot fathom his granddaughter’s thought process.

“You know yourself, I’m very old. I can’t guarantee how much longer I’ll live. That’s why I’m pushing you to marry Kimberly quickly so there’s someone to take care of her and continue the Rayder business after I’m gone.”

Mario nodded in understanding.

“I already know where Kimberly is. It’s just that I can’t force her to come back so easily. You know Kimberly well, Uncle. She’s a very strong-willed person. But I promise to bring her to you as soon as possible.”

Arthur sighed softly.

“All right, I’ll give you another chance. If you can’t bring her back home this time, I’ll bring her back in my own way.” Arthur reached for the tea on the table and took a slow sip.

Mario smiled.

“I promise to bring Kimberly back and make her my wife soon.”
