Inside the VIP room of the hospital, the grandpa Anderson just coughed out a blood.“Sir, please don’t misunderstand; I only meant that I want Sofia to be happy,” I pleaded earnestly.Sofia quickly wiped the blood her grandpa had coughed up, her face flushed with embarrassment.The old man chimed in, his voice weary yet relieved, “I coughed up the stale blood, I think, as my body now feels lighter and healthier.”Suddenly, an authoritative voice cut through, “Sir, please don’t make assumptions about your health. We doctors need to conduct a proper examination to determine your condition. Sometimes people feel healthy only to face severe health issues and die shortly after.”Doctor Michael’s expression remained skeptical, seemingly unable to accept my ‘traditional healing’ result.Grandpa’s gaze shifted to Sofia as he asked, “Who is this doctor who seems to be predicting my imminent demise?”Beth’s face turned ashen. “Grandpa, he is Doctor Michael, the most famous doctor from the USA.

Me and Sofia returned to our apartment using a taxi, as Sofia's car was confiscated by her mother.Sofia, her eyes brimming with sadness, said, "How can Beth lie in front of others, and how can they not believe me?"I hugged Sofia to calm her. "Don't worry, your grandpa will wake up in two days and he will explain everything.""Alex..." Sofia called out, her voice tinged with despair. "We don’t have any money anymore.""Who said that?" I asked.Not long after, there was a knock on the front door. I found Francesca standing there with an envelope."It's your $50,000 penalty money," she said, her gaze fixed on me sternly. "Don’t you dare hurt the young miss.""I won’t," I answered and slammed the door closed.I looked at Sofia, my eyes sparkling with happiness. "See, my dear Sofia, you found a way to take back our $50,000. This is enough for our half-year's expenses. What do you want to eat?"Sofia smiled and hugged me. "Will we be okay?""I am your boyfriend and your fiancé, I will tak

"The question is wrong," I said. "You should have asked, 'How can you believe in this poor person?'" I placed my hand on his shoulder as we found a chair at the back, enjoying the warmth of each other's company."Maybe because I love you," Sofia happily giggling, and I think I'm falling in love with her naive.Few days later, I was mostly spending my time in the apartment, watching dramatic movies with Sofia, cooking daily meals, and going out for beautiful dinners.I wanted to enjoy my college days with Sofia. If anyone asked why, it was because in my past life I hadn't graduated from college; Instead, I was a diligent worker, constantly focused on finances, striving to make it through each pay period, living from one payday to the next, and laboring relentlessly with funds that never quite sufficed.When people have money, don't you think they need to enjoy life as if they were in heaven?Yet, at the same time, I took time to check on the Eden Group, which had already started to go

Jeremy was shocked. "She really wants you to die? And doesn't care about you?"He clutched his head, feeling a slight headache."How can this be happening?" Jeremy threw a vase across the room."Where is Alex right now?" Jeremy demanded, pressing a knife against Miranda's stomach."At the university." Miranda said in fear."Alright, lead this girl to find the guy and bring him here. I believe she can find where he is," Jeremy commanded.The five men quickly moved, dragging Miranda away.***In my class, I was half-listening to the professor, drowsy, when a man suddenly entered the room with Miranda. "Professor, I'm sorry, but we need Alex here. It's an emergency."The professor looked around the class. "Anyone named Alex? Please, come forward."I stood and walked to the door."What's up?""Follow us," the man said. "It's urgent."I followed them to the parking lot, where only a few people were around. I found four people with Miranda's face was pale among them. Secretly, I noticed a s

In the mansion of Anderson."You, a painter, what do you know about business?" Chris Wellington scoffed. "I suggest you leave now, or I'll need to call security to kick you out."Sophia grabbed my hand, her voice trembling with determination. "Alex, let's get out of here. I will never return to this family again.""Stop it, Sophia," her mother approached us, concern etching her features. But Sophia didn't care; she simply shoved her mother away."Guard! Take Sophia," Sophia's uncle commanded.I started to laugh, disbelief coloring my tone. "So, this is the meaning of family? You would sacrifice your daughter for a $100 million project?""Shut up," Grandma Anderson snapped. "Take Sophia and kick this guy out. He is not worth to be here."As a guard approached, wielding an iron baton, I launched a quick attack to his face, and he fell down.Causing shock to everyone there.The other guard who dared to come close received a kick to his stomach.As we walked to the gate, more guards came,
