Did Johnny know money? Honestly, he felt like he was the one who knew the importance of money best when he had been living in poverty. Everyone else had probably spent money on things like water. Okay, he knew he wasn't being fair. In order to run a successful business, they had to know how to handle money or at least hire someone competent. While he was tempted to say something sarcastic, Johnny simply said, "You don't have to worry about me, but I don't think you'll take my word for it. How about we make a little wager?" Rachel narrowed her eyes and asked, "What are you suggesting?" "Since you're worried that I don't know how to handle money, we will have a competition to see who would make the most money within a certain period," he said. "It sounds like you're assuming we'll be doing the jewelry business," Rachel's father said. "If you weren't thinking about it, you wouldn't have agreed to meet," Johnny said. Rachel's father frowned as he leaned back in his chair. "I don't li

Instead of the three families immediately going their separate ways, they still hung around in the restaurant. Everyone was chatting leisurely like they were friends, but in Johnny's eyes, it looked like they were probing each other. Fortunately, it was mostly the parents chatting away with each other. None of them were bringing Johnny, Rachel, Dorothy, or the Martin family heir into the conversation.Unable to take it anymore, Johnny stood up as he said, "I'm going to take a bathroom break."This stopped the conversation as Johnny's father said, "Be back soon."Johnny nodded before he took his chance to escape and catch his breath. He didn't really need to use the restroom. It was the only excuse he could think of where they wouldn't question why he wanted to leave the table and be interrogated. He didn't have to worry about anyone disturbing him since it was only them and the staff.Standing right outside the restrooms, he pulled out his phone to surf the web for anything interestin

"Regarding what we were talking about before," Johnny said, catching Dorothy's attention. "I accept. We don't need to do a contract or anything."It took her a few moments to figure out what he was talking about, and she narrowed her eyes as she asked, "What's with the change of heart?""I had some time to think about it while I was stuck in the toilet and decided to take the gamble," he said as he shoved his hands into his pants pockets.Dorothy grimaced at the mention of what he was doing in the restroom. She did not need to know what he was doing in there. It was obvious to anyone with a brain. At the latter part of his sentence, she immediately perked up. It was still highly suspicious how he decided to go along with it, but it would be better if he just agreed to her proposition.Unbeknownst to her, Johnny was listening to everything she was thinking. This was the reason why he readily agreed to her proposal. He would have never gone along with the idea if it weren't for his mind

Rachel gnashed her teeth together and balled her hands into fists. That was impossible. There was no way she could have lost to some nobody. Even though he was the Burns family heir, they all knew it didn't mean much when he hadn't been with the family for long. He was basically a lucky stranger who got everything handed over to him on a plate.Johnny could instantly tell what she was thinking, even without his power. In fact, her thoughts were so loud that they were practically ringing in his ear. He almost sighed, thinking about how annoying it was to deal with someone like that. Johnny couldn't help wondering if this was her real personality instead of the one she had shown back in the beginning."Now that I have proven myself, what do you have to say?" Johnny asked, wanting to see what she would do now.Her father was the one who answered. "I can see no problem for both families to continue working together to run a successful business.""'I'm glad to hear it," Johnny said with a

Now that the idea was implanted in Johnny's brain, he couldn't shake it off and started his own investigation. Of course, it wasn't that easy. He had to juggle between looking for clues and handling his daily affairs. There was the jewelry business, and he still couldn't figure out how he managed to make it work. The dating business was also hanging over his head.Dealing with the two women wasn't exactly something he wanted to do, but he had to suck it up for now. However, those weren't the only problems. He didn't have much to go on. If the monster thing was true, who knew what else he couldn't remember? He wouldn't be able to be sure if something was just his imagination or not.His investigation didn't go unnoticed, either. The ones that noticed the most were his parents, since he was using the family's resources to do some digging. He had managed to come up with excuses each time, but there were only so many times that he could say it was because he wanted to know more about the
