The screeching of cars could be heard in the distance as Tom leapt from the bushes onto the shoulder of the road. His uncontrollable speed caused him to trip over his feet, and he could not stand up in time for the luxury car to pass by.Pete quickly hit the brake pedal when he saw someone bounce a long way forward. He quickly got off after being cursed at."Can't you do your job properly, huh?"Tom's bouncing body immediately got up, albeit with difficulty, when he saw Pete get out of the car he was driving. Although his legs were still sore, he was still thinking about the right time to go to work.But before Tom could actually leave, he first bowed before the old man, who approached anxiously."S-sorry about me.""Are you alright? Sorry, I can't control the car because I haven't mastered the terrain. Should we go to the nearest clinic?""It's my fault, sir. It really is. I was in a hurry to catch the bus so I wouldn't get left behind. But where are you going? I don't think I've see

"I'm really unlucky today. It hasn't been five hours since I woke up in the morning, and I've already been insulted dozens of times! What the hell is this? There should be a warning that today is the unluckiest day! That way, I can be more careful than before, right?"Tom let out a long sigh. He thought back to Pete and Jill, who were not residents of the town where he lived."But what exactly are Mr Pete and Mrs Jill doing here? They're obviously not from here. But why come all the way to the orphanage just for a few strands of someone else's hair? It doesn't make sense."The butcher's knife Tom was holding again quickly sliced down the centre of the pork breast. He quickly removed all the entrails. He also cut the pig's back until the pig in front of him was completely split in two.Unfortunately, Tom was still thinking about the expression of the old man he had just met. "Even though Mr Pete doesn't work for that wicked witch. But why would he be that obedient to someone else? Ah,

Jill shook her head quickly, shaking off the image of Tom being too brave to come to his death. Jill's right hand waved at some guards, then pointed at Tom with a glare. "You guys! What did you do to let this beggar come and ruin the plans of Arthur, the heir to JF Group?!"Tom looked away briefly as the guards looked at him questioningly. He simply raised his hand, then returned to the stage in the centre of the garden."No need to be shy, Mrs Reynolds," Tom greeted. His hands were already in each of his trouser pockets."Who dare you to talk to her? Why are you guys stopping? Catch him and drag him out! Did you not hear me? Should I call dad first to get you to follow my orders?" scolded Arthur.However, Tom was already standing by his half-brother's side as he tapped Arthur lightly on the shoulder. "Calm down, dude. Calm down. Because they should be following my orders more than yours, Arthur.""Don't talk rubbish! Guards, come here! Take this guy out right now before I sack all th

Arthur was seen pacing back and forth. There were Camellia and Jill, who were also thinking. All three of them were at their wit's end. Especially after Tom proved that he could get a new project for a fantastic price quite easily."Have you contacted Ronald?" asked Jill hurriedly. She started to rise with her arms crossed. "We can't stay silent. You have to show again how valuable you are to JF's progress in order to get the legacy we planned."Arthur stopped walking. He reached for the phone, dialled Ronald, and started talking. "Shall we meet, Mr White?"Jill quickly got up. She pressed the speaker feature on the phone to listen in. She waved for Camellia to come over as well."Of course, Mr Fischer. But I have to meet someone special first. He made an appointment even three days ago."Jill showed him the brown envelope, gesturing to discuss an important matter that needed to be resolved.Arthur nodded in understanding. He cleared his throat briefly. "Of course, Mr White. Go see hi

A knock on the door made Tom look up. He who had been hit by the books about some other promising projects could not help but close his agenda."Come in, Arthur."Hearing Tom's answer from inside, Arthur, who had been knocking, was surprised. He frowned in surprise as he looked around. After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras there, he entered hesitantly."I don't think there was ever a surveillance camera here. How would you know if I knocked?"Tom laughed as he got up from his seat. He invited his brother to sit down and headed to the small fridge in the corner of his room. "What do you want, Arthur?""As before, I still want the same thing. I want to get my hands on JF Groups completely. Because I'm the one who knows best about all the problems in the company."Hearing Arthur's answer, Tom looked back. He laughed with a chuckle. "That's not what I asked."Arthur pursed his lips tightly, then looked away. "Gimme an iced coffee."Tom grinned at Arthur's agitated behav
