There was only silence as Steve spoke the truth. Cassandra was stunned for a moment, then laughed mockingly. "Stop lying to me, Steve. I'm not a stupid woman. You must have deliberately used the traumatizing incident to scare me." "That won't work." Cassandra looked at herself in the mirror. "Now go away. I don't want to see you again until I'm officially Stephen's wife." "Why don't you trust me, Cassandra?" Steve looked disappointed. "Is it because you never thought of me as your brother? Is it because I'm the illegitimate son of your mother and uncle?" Cassandra glanced at Steve in the mirror. The man wearing a gray tuxedo looked sad and disappointed. His hands clenched tightly, and his eyes were misty. Despite that, Cassandra didn't say anything. She was at a loss to explain her current mood. "Alright, if that's what you want. I won't bother you or care about you anymore. From now on, pretend we never knew each other." Steve left feeling disappointed. Cassandra never appreci

"What did you call me for, Mr. Alvarez?" Felix visited Steve's house as soon as he called. "I heard you had an accident." "It's true, but I'm fine." Felix and Steve sat across from each other in the living room of his apartment. "What's going on, Mr. Alvarez?" Felix was surprised when his boss looked joyful. "I have some good news for us, Felix." "What is it?" "I'm going to rebuild my company, Alvarez Corp." "Really?" Felix frowned in surprise. "Where did you get the money, boss? You didn't steal, did you?" "Of course not." Steve was exasperated. "I got my system back." "Really?" Felix was pleased. "But is there no risk when the system returns to you?" he asked anxiously. "No." Steve shook his head, then clenched his fists. "I have to destroy Marco. He was the one who sent the virus that blocked my system and prevented me from accessing my consciousness." "Marco? Do you mean Ms. Cassandra's father-in-law?" Felix guessed. Steve nodded. Felix was shocked. "Does he have a sy

The old man smiled kindly at Steve. "You seem to be thinking about something complicated. What is it?"Steve was speechless. His body stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was pounding unsteadily.'What is this asshole doing here?' He cursed to himself.Marco sat beside Steve while patting Steve's shoulder familiarly."You are Charles's grandson, right?"Steve nodded. "Yes."Marco chuckled. "I didn't expect Mr. Charles to have a great-grandson like you, Alvarez. Surprisingly, he never told me about it, even though we've been partners for decades.""But I also didn't expect you to suddenly go bankrupt like that." Marco wore a concerned expression. "I should have helped you."Steve smiled, trying to be calm. "I don't need anything. Thank you for your offer.""Then why are you here? You know discos are where people vent their frustration, disappointment, and anger.""I'm just tired from working all day, so I decided to rest here for a while." Steve denied it.Marco laugh

"I want you to be the lead female role in our latest movie." Jonathan, CEO of Jon's Entertainment. Sarah gawked. "Are you serious, Mister?" "Of course." The man smiled a little. "Thanks very much, Mr. Jonothan! I promise not to disappoint you!!" Sarah smiled widely. 'Oh, my God! I'm fortunate today! Steve must be happy to hear that!' Jonathan handed Sarah the contract. "Please, you sign this letter." "Okay." Sarah signed it immediately. "Tomorrow, you start work. Ester, the director of this movie, will guide you," explained Jonathan. "All right, Mr. Jonothan." "You can go home and practice your acting." Sarah nodded and then left the room with a happy smile. Arriving at the lobby, she ran straight to Steve. "Steve! You won't believe what I'm saying!" Sarah exclaimed excitedly, making everyone in the lobby turn to her. "What is it?" Steve feigned innocence. "I got the job as the female lead!" Sarah jumped up and down with happiness. "Really?!" Steve exclaimed. "I knew yo

Ding! Simon and his two employees stiffened when his cell phone rang. "I've transferred it. You can check it." "Alright. Just a moment." Simon immediately checked the notification on his cell phone. "Oh, shit!" He was wide-eyed when he got the proof of the $25,000,000 money transfer from Alvarez. "Do you believe me now?" Steve grinned smugly. He was satisfied to see the surprised expressions of the three parasites. "B-how did you get that much money, Mr. Alvarez?" Simon was shocked. "Aren't you broke?" Steve chuckled. "You're so stupid, Simon. Many businessmen and conglomerates deliberately hide their true identities. It's a natural thing." "Why do you do that?" "Because I like it when I see my detractors tremble with fear after I've proved my point," Steve quipped to the fat man. The man trembled at the thought of being fired. "M-I'm sorry, Mr. Alvarez. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings at all. I was just joking." The man chuckled clumsily. "Just kidding, you say?" St
