*****Although Hopeland Real Estate was a small-scale company, handling less than ten million dollars in a year many times, President Timi had never been rudely regarded like this before.He was always respected given how he owned 100% of his company all to himself.Even amongst presidents of bigger and famous companies, he was always given his own regarded respect, but now, a young man whom he could have as a second son had just spat on his face and ridiculed him to the peak.While shaking, President Timi continued glaring at Ares for a moment, furious to the extent that he had no idea about what to do, but just as he was about to return to his senses and do the needful, Cloe yelled with rage.“You motherfucking useless bastard! What do you think gives you the audacity to speak to my boss like this?!” She glared at Ares hatefully as though she was hoping he would be hit by a truck with a filed brake.After a while, she finally tore her glare away and looked back at President Ti

*****Keeping the new house documents inside his car’s compartment, Ares finally returned to Olivia’s villa, planning to have a nice rest after such a long and arduous day.“You lazy brat, where have you been all day?” An aggressive voice that came from Ava, who glared fiercely at him upon his entry Immediately sounded, startling Ares.He looked blankly at her for a moment before finally smiling sheepishly. ‘I was just out preparing a great surprise for someone,” he responded casually.“You? Surprise?! Pft!” Ava laughed mocking as soon as she heard him before spitting with disgust. “Which surprise could a broke-ass vile spawn like yourself prepare for anybody, huh?”“I…” Ares immediately became speechless, but then he sighed helplessly and decided not to bicker with his mother-in-law again, knowing that he would never win as long as he did not reveal his true self to her.“Mother-in-law, I will be in my room,” Ares said after a moment of thought, then not waiting for Ava’s respon

***** ‘What’s going on?” Ares was genuinely confused right now. Although he had barely known Penelope, he had been certain she was an arrogant, spoiled brat who would speak to anyone however she liked and had no respect for anyone. But now… ‘This her fear is very genuine,’ he thought before returning his gaze to the front. From within the two cars that just blocked the road, twelve guys who resemble gangsters exited, each holding nightsticks with spikes on them in their hand. Ares looked at the forefront of these twelve people, at the person who appeared to be the leader. He was immediately certain that the other party was a don. “What’s going on? Did you offend a Mafia boss?” He finally asked, but in response, Penelope yelled at him. “Just drive this motherfucking junk!!!” Ares’s brows immediately squinted with displeasure. “You still dared to be rude even at a time like this?” He inquired coldly. “I… I…” Penelope finally appeared scared. “Please, drive this

*****"I'm curious," Penelope suddenly said, breaking the silence that had long enveloped the car.She had been intently observing Ares, trying to understand him ever since they got back in.As soon as Ares heard her, he spared her a single glance before focusing his attention casually back on the road. “About what?” he inquired.Penelope pondered more before finally opening her mouth. “Given the little I just learned about you from those bastards, I can boldly say that you are the best guy I’ve ever met in my life. Wealthy, handsome, kind, strong, playful, and with a tinge of rudeness, but why then would my cousin and aunt dislike you so much, even hating you?”Ares went blank for a moment upon hearing Penelope’s praiseful words for himself, but then he coughed awkwardly, failing to keep his composure again.He blushed briefly before hurriedly returning to his senses.Pondering for a moment, Ares sighed. To be honest, he had intentionally shown his real self to Penelope since

*****Both Ares and Penelope couldn’t react for a long time. They were just too dumbfounded by what just happened, but then suddenly, loud laughter that contained both excitement and mockery erupted, startling them back to their senses.They hurriedly looked toward where it originated and behold, it belonged to Ava, who had run over after hearing her daughter’s cold yell earlier.She had also been transfixed after hearing what Olivia said, as it came too shockingly. This had been her greatest wish since the day Olive returned to the city.“This is great!!!!” she laughed so hard, feeling as though a great pie had just fallen from the sky into her lap.After laughing for a long time, she stepped inside the kitchen and then hugged Penelope tightly. “I knew that you are mine, Ava’s previous nephew, otherwise, you wouldn’t have solved my biggest dilemma just a few minutes after getting to my house.”Ava hugged Penelope even tighter.She had been frustrated and furious earlier upon s
