As Ray reached out to touch her, Sarah deftly dodged his hand and followed his pointing finger to where Ryan and Alice were already walking towards the building's entrance. This was no ordinary gathering; the welcome party was a high-profile event organized by the influential Garcia family, whose power extended throughout the country. In attendance were not only local government officials but also high-ranking officials from Capiton who had traveled all the way to Austria for the occasion. The level of security was correspondingly high, with heavily armed police guarding the premises and state-of-the-art scanning machines verifying the guests' identities.As Ryan and Alice approached the machine, the captain of the security team halted them and demanded, "Your ID, please?" Ryan acquiesced with a nod, and produced both his and Alice's IDs which he handed over to the captain.Alice swiftly turned her head towards Sarah and Ray, shooting them a dirty look while raising her eyebrows, appe

"Are you not going to release my arm?" James's voice grew louder with agitation. He balled his hand into a fist and mustered all his might to strike the waitress. In a split second, a loud thud echoed as his punch landed on her nose, causing blood to spurt out. The waitress, a delicate young woman, turned pale with fear and stumbled before collapsing on the ground. James's face was smeared with her blood, but instead of cleaning himself, he knelt down and removed her coat. The guests below the stage scowled upon witnessing the scene on video. One of them even shouted at James, "What a scumbag! How could you hit such a pretty girl?" This triggered a wave of complaints from the other guests. Some tried to be polite while reproaching James, saying, "You were totally out of line, James. You could have just asked her for the coat. Why did you have to resort to violence?"As the events unfolded, some were unable to contain their anger and shouted out curses, threatening to harm the perpetra

The following day, Ray awoke to find himself lying on the ground. Blinking, he realized that Sarah had already left the room. After grabbing his phone, he logged into his account and was thrilled to see his bank balance. Overcome with excitement, he even kissed his phone. It was unbelievable - he was now a billionaire. In just two hours, he had earned 160 million. No doubt he was the best trader around, outdoing even the most skilled money-makers.Feeling pretty pleased with himself, Ray was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock on the door. A voice on the other side demanded that he get up and fetch breakfast. Irritated, Ray opened the door and faced Adeline, who shouted, "You're worthless! Go get us some breakfast!"Ray frowned and replied, "Adeline, I'm your brother-in-law. Show some respect, will you?"Sophiawas wearing a hip-high T-shirt that exposed her slender and fair legs. Ray usually found himself curious when she dressed like that, wondering if she was wearing underwear."Do

As Tristan and Alicebroached the topic, Monica's expression remained stoic, as though she had anticipated the conversation. "Jack, what's your plan with Joanna? We need to resolve this issue today," she demanded.Monica shifted her gaze towards Jack and Joanna. Jack appeared crestfallen, and after exchanging glances with his wife, he stood up. "Mom, could you grant us a few more days? We're trying to come up with a solution," he pleaded.Monica emitted a deep sigh and retorted, "Sit down. Joanna, you stand up and inform us about your plan. This mess is your doing, yet you've been hiding behind your husband. What have you got to say?"Joanna stood up in silence, her eyes brimming with tears. She whimpered, "I'm sorry, everyone. I was confused and wanted to make some money. I made a grave error and caused a significant loss for our business. I'm deeply sorry."Monica nodded her head and stated, "It takes courage to own up to your actions. What do you plan to do to rectify this?"As tear

Despite his efforts to evade them, Joanna and Sophia managed to hold onto Ray tightly. He felt dejected as he watched his in-game character get killed by his opponent wielding a gun. "I know how to help Sarah seal the deal and secure the contract. Let me take the lead. I need to play another round for revenge," he said. Sophia snatched Ray's phone and sneered, "You have a plan? That's bullshit! Lillian told me you used to wear my dad's old clothes. Aren't you ashamed? You're leeching off my sister, and now you're trying to manipulate her?" Ray glared at her and freed himself from her grasp. "Believe it or not, I don't have to explain anything to you. And yes, I chose to wear your father's hand-me-down clothes. Your sister's income is hard-earned, and I wanted to save some money for her. Is there something wrong with that?" Sophia was taken aback. She looked at Ray in disbelief, not knowing what to say. How could a grown man be so shameless? He made it sound as if being "feckless"
