Chapter 61 "Speaking for Justice"
The female employees of the department store in Hopkins mall were gathered in one room. “Why did we gather here?” “I don’t know. The Manager just told us to come.” “What if the CEO has complaints after visiting yesterday?” “That might be right! Is he going to fire us?” “This many? And we haven’t done anything against Hopkins mall.” “Let’s not jump into conclusion. Maybe this is just some, you know, announcement for things that the CEO wanted to do in the future. Or he’ll give us words of encouragement.” Jillian only listened to her co-workers while standing in the corner of the room. Everyone was anxious about this sudden meeting. But Jillian was excited. ‘I didn’t have the chance to check if the CEO was really the Gaston I knew. If I see him again, I think I can figure it out,’ she thought. “The CEO is here!” the manager told everyone. The employees put their hands behind their backs and stood straight. Then, a handsome man in a blue suit entered the room. All eyes follow

Chapter 62 "Meeting a Childhood Friend"
After standing up against the new CEO, Jillian accepted that she will be brought in the committee. But right now, she’s inside the CEO’s office, while having a cup of brewed coffee with her childhood friend. “Oh my gosh. I can’t believe that it was really you,” Jillian told Gaston. “Who would have thought that a friend of mine is the son of a multi-billionaire? And that you are the new CEO of this mall?” Chuckling, Gaston replied, “Were you happy that you were kind to me when we were young?” “Of course! Grandma is right. You should be kind to all people you meet, because the deity of goodness is watching and waiting to give you a prize.” “And this is your prize?” Gaston asked while pointing the coffee in her hands. “Having a coffee like this and keeping my job even after shouting like that are indeed my prize. But, I haven’t taken any money. So, I will make sure to remember to grab one envelope and sign too.” Gaston’s expression plummeted. He placed the cup back on the table and

Chapter 63 "Party for the Heir's Glory"
The Xtreme Company released their new Xtreme 601 jeep car with overhauled technical package including a flagship 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6, a bold new exterior and a flashing high-tech interior. Everyone anticipated this new model and many lined up to buy it as soon as it was released. After attending the launching event, Sonny returned home and saw the invitation on his desk. [“Invitation for John Hopkins party.”] The sender was none other than Gaston. Seeing the invitation, Sonny laughed throatily. “You finally realized your mistakes, Gaston,” Sonny uttered. Thanks to Xtreme Company and Sonny, Protix failed to launch their new vehicle. They manipulated the venue and brought the guests and reporters out of the Protix press conference. Because of that, the Protix were forced to reschedule their launching date, or maybe, they wouldn’t be able to make it out. What will happen to Hamington Architecture Company? “I pity you, my nephew. But you shouldn’t dream big,” Sonny sai

Chapter 64 "The Right to Be By His Side"
The party was held at the mansion’s garden. The huge outdoor space was decorated with lighting string lights, Votive candles and fragrant flowers. Foods in the buffet area were also set. For the music, they hired musicians to play mellow or jazz instrumental soft music during the event, that will complement the dinner setting and that people can keep a conversation going even with background music. With everything on set, the party started. The guests of the party, who are usually busy people, took the special time to come to the party.

Chapter 65 "Not in the Same League"
Gaston checked his phone. But there was no text from someone he expected to see here. “Is he really not coming?” Chairman Harold was invited to the party. But he couldn’t attend because he had to go to New York and attend a meeting. However, there was one more person who Gaston waited for. It is his business partner, Griffti. “He’s serious when he said that he would not come,” Gaston murmured then looked back at his partner, Jillian. She looked so tired. Well, they walked around the party and met a lot of people. They all asked the same question; ‘Is she your girlfriend?’ It was tiring to deny their relationship and receive flattering words at the same time. “Are you fine?” Gaston asked Jillian. “Me? Oh sure. I am. Just a bit awkward. Attending parties like this isn’t my forte.” Gaston chuckled. “Ahhh, I saw Jurgen before somewhere. But now he’s gone,” Jillian said. Gaston narrowed his eyes to her. “You said you don’t like him?” “It’s not like that! Hey.” “Just kidding.

Chapter 66 "Perks of Knowing the Future"
[“Vehicles that once seemed like the far-distant future were becoming more tangible every year. And now, the era of the hoverbike is finally at hand! The Protix company launched their Protix 100 prism hoverbike this Thursday, which shook the whole world. Protix 100 prism hoverbike is equipped with a conventional engine and four battery-powered motors and promises to fly for 40 minutes at up to 100 kph. Thhis black and red hoverbike consists of a motorcycle-like body on top of propellers. As Hopkins invested with this project, many already purchased half a million dollar vehicles, which means you’ll have to be well-heeled to join it. Recently, the Protix Company announced that it would begin deliveries of its long-anticipated flying motorcycle in the first half of 2022. No license is needed to fly the carbon-fiber craft, but it is not yet legally allowed to fly on the busy pack streets. However, the Hamington Architecture Company released a statement that the track for the hoverbike is

Chapter 67 "The Troublemaker in the Mall"
The CEO of Hopkins Mall arrived. All of the mall’s employees stood in line as Gaston walked in the center with his secretary Lanceil and multiple bodyguards. He is not just the CEO but the heir of the Hopkins corporation, so having guards with him is a norm. The employees, men and women, couldn’t help but to get amazed at their cool CEO. His reputation increased ever since he signed a file protecting his employees against the abusive VVIP members of the Hopkins department store. From afar, Jillian watched her childhood friend walking. Looking at him like this, Jillian realized how different Gaston’s and her world are. She clearly saw that during the party. Even so, she’s happy that Gaston invited her to be his partner. Although, they didn’t had the chance to dance. ‘Gosh. What am I thinking? Me? Dancing with the heir of the Hopkins group?’Jillian was drowned in her thoughts. She didn’t know that right now, Gaston is standing next to her and staring at her. If it is not for her

Chapter 68 "Maneuvering Situations"
“Misdemeanour is punishable by one year imprisonment and a fine up to $5,000. I can sue you for slapping me, Ma’am,” Jillian said to the rude customer. The woman, Yanice Himber, scoffed at Jillian. “It seems like you knew a lot about laws. Then, you probably knew this.” She leaned closer and whispered, “Even if you sue me, do you think you can win against me?” Jillian bit her lip while looking at the evil woman. “How much money will you waste trying to win from a big shot? I wonder about that.” Even if the government protects the people, sometimes justice only side with the stronger. That’s why wealthy people win against the poor. That’s how unfair society is. As Jillian kept her mouth shut, a tall man stood next to them. Jillian and Yanice turned their heads and saw Gaston. The employees gasped in surprise, and Jillian’s mouth widened. She didn’t expect that the CEO would go here and fix the problem, rather than sending his secretary or a director. Meanwhile, Yanice, who ha

Chapter 69 "Buying and Selling Stocks"
In front of the gambling table and while holding poker cards in his hands, Jurgen recalled the words Divine told him during the party. [“I CANNOT GAIN ANYTHING FROM A GUARD LIKE YOU. The reason why I want to be Gaston’s partner is to have the power to inherit Hamington. That’s why I am asking you to help but… what is this? Do you really love me? If you really love me, you will do your best to do what I wanted you to do. But you disappointed me.”] Jurgen thought of this: Divine only needed Gaston for power and not because she loves him. Therefore, Jurgen was determined to be a worthy man for her. And that’s why, he’s here, gambling his luck. ‘If I win this, I will build a business and be a worthy guy for you, Divine. Just wait and see,’ he thought. Jurgen smirked before he placed his cards on the table. [“I told Jurgen how to steal from the company funds without getting caught. He did it right away and went straight to gamble.”] Secretary David informed Gaston through a phone c

Chapter 70 "Hour Investment Company"
“Gaston! Gaston!” Edgar came to Gaston while shouting. “D-Did you watch the news?” Edgar asked. “Why?” Gaston responded. “The CSB filed stated that they are going to file for bankruptcy. The market capitalization had dropped and the price of stock decreased by more than 97%! This is exactly what you told me before!” After hearing the news, Gaston replied nonchalantly. “Ahhh, really?” “Why are you so calm? Aren’t you shocked that your business premonition came true? And if ever you didn’t sell your shares, you’d be one of those who are crying right now because they lost a lot of money.” It is because Gaston already knew what would happen. When he was in prison, there were police guards who invested in the CSB company. Everyday, the value of stock increased and they were all so happy. They thought they’ll gonna be rich in no time. However, one Tuesday morning, the CSB announced that they will file for bankruptcy. A lot lost their money. Those, who pulled out their shares bef
