Matthew took a seat and gazed out at the ocean. The crashing waves filled his ears, capturing all of his attention. However, he wasn't actually listening to the beach waves; instead, he was listening to a discussion between Erica, Liam, and Denias in a hotel room. The same hotel room just down the hall from the one Fransischa had given him a few days prior.Although the conversation's voice sounded very loud, and enough people were walking past to head toward the beach, only Matthew could hear the conversation.Matthew felt a mix of curiosity and discomfort as he glanced away from the monitor multiple times, wondering, "Is this something they do regularly?"Honestly, he got lucky catching a glimpse of Erica Liam without any clothes on. Still, it was also pretty awkward for him as a single guy to see a woman in just her bra and panties in a hotel room. He was peeking through the phone camera that Trivia, the system, had hacked for him.[What do you mean, Matthew Wilson?]Matthew kept a
Fransischa dashed over to Matthew, who had just returned from the beach. She was moving fast, looking a bit frantic with her pale face, especially when she noticed he was already at the hotel, even though she hadn't told him to return yet."Why are you back so soon? I thought I asked you to stay longer!" she said, catching her breath."I needed guidance on where to head next. Can't I just chill in the room and grab dinner with you?"Fransischa didn't have any of Matthew's suggestions; she shook her head and insisted he leave the hotel immediately. "What? No way! You really need to get out of here. They'll definitely find you.""Come on, just hear me out. There's no way they can search every single room in this place, right?" she said, giving Fransischa a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder to ease her worries."Honestly, what's the big deal if Denias and I are in the same place? We wouldn't have gotten into it if he hadn't thrown the first punch," he said confidently."That's exactly w
"Is this her place?" Matthew asked the system. After five hours, Matthew finally pulled up to a stunning house in the forest's heart. It was the only home among the towering trees, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. It felt remote, yet it was packed with cutting-edge technology.Sure, the house didn't have a tall fence or a guard station, but it was equipped with sensors in nearly every hidden corner. They could detect movement from five kilometres away, with heightened sensitivity within twenty to five meters from the house. Naturally, these sensors would alert the homeowners if a guest or an intruder approached.The system window popped up, and Trivia displayed some heat sensors that were picking up activity inside the house. Matthew grinned, feeling like he had a handle on everything happening within those walls.[Jennifer Shaw is inside, and she's got her eyes on you, Matthew Wilson. Get ready.] The system warned, hinting that the house's owner had been keeping tabs on
Matthew wrapped his arms around Jennifer’s waist, using Dominic Rayn’s body as a shield. She was taken aback but didn’t push him away. Every touch from the guy she had secretly wanted for years seemed to light her up. With a grin that resembled a lovestruck kid, she pulled him closer, her arms draping around his neck.“You came up to me out of the blue. But honestly, I can’t just sit here alone. Can’t you make me feel like a woman?”“Aren’t you already one?”“The woman who got left behind to marry another woman?”Her smile shifted from casual to a bit awkward as she mentioned the topic that Trivia had mentioned—how Dominic had chosen Brianna Floss over her.But Matthew wasn’t about to give up. He tightened his grip, tapping into the memories of Dominic Rayn that the system had shown him. He might not be the best at seduction, but he was determined to seal the deal on the verge of falling apart with Erica Liam.He said a few sweet words, making Jennifer blush until their faces were clo
Jennifer Shaw smiled as she gently caressed Dominic Rayn’s face, her fingers dancing over his striking features. Memories of their happier times flooded back, memories that felt tainted ever since Brianna Floss came along and disrupted their bliss.If only she had the same power and financial security she enjoys now, she might have held onto Dominic. They could have been together, and he wouldn’t have endured such a devastating bankruptcy.Yep, bankruptcy. That was the first thing Dominic needed to grasp before taking over the business. Upon waking up, the main report he had to read was crucial to understanding his situation, especially since he had been keeping tabs on Dominic’s ups and downs.His presence here was a surprise, though. Jennifer knew Dominic had moved in with Fransischa Louise at the hotel where she worked after being kicked out by Brianna and her family. But now, she was left wondering what Dominic really wanted from her.“How long are you going to keep this up?” Matt
Jennifer filled a glass of white wine and handed it to Matthew as he stepped out of the bathroom. As soon as he took the glass from her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her long neck, looking like a couple fresh off their honeymoon. “You want me to convince Jason Rogue to hand over that contract without any strings attached? That's a bit much, Rayn," Jennifer sighed, but she still embraced Matthew and accepted his kiss."No, I really don’t. I’ve never been cool with my girl flirting with someone who doesn’t matter," he explained.Even though Matthew initially planned for Jennifer Shaw to charm Jason Rogue into handing over the contract without any strings attached, he started to reconsider. Watching Jennifer’s reaction made him think that maybe her mind was on something else that could work in their favor."Do you really think Jason Rogue is so unimportant that you can just brush him off like that?" Jennifer shot back, making Matthew rethink his own words.Out of nowh
Matthew Wilson awakened when a water bucket was thrown over his head. He was furious because water had also entered his mouth and nose. He was on his knees when he was unexpectedly shocked, causing him to rise up and wipe the water off his face with his face cloth. This caused his breathing to become difficult for many minutes and his eyesight to become cloudy. Someone who had earlier resprayed him dumped the remaining water from the bucket into his face just as he began recovering his composure. "Why does it make me feel so terrible to watch you kneel like that in front of me?!" A middle-aged guy snapped at Matthew with bulging eyes and a scary stern expression. It was a tall man with a thick mustache and once-black hair that was now almost all white. After splashing Matthew with a bucket of water, he threw the bucket against the wall and the side of the room. The old man was furious. What, though, had agitated him? Not just middle-aged men. Several handsome men were in t
$300 was a trifle compared to what Matthew needed for housing and food while hunting for a job. After all, how could someone be so cruel as to throw him out of that enormous and wonderful mansion and then give him only $300?Matthew didn't even blink when he first saw the mansion from behind the three-meter-high fence in front of him. It sat on a massive plot of land, more like a palace than a house, and was guarded by several security guards."This house is so big and looks like a castle, and I'm only given $300 by them ...?" Briana Floss flung money and a suitcase at Matthew, who murmured without pausing to look at the $300 he now held in his hand.Ding!Again, that sounds like it. After engaging with the system several times, Matthew discovered that the chime signified the start of the system's internal speech. And sure enough, a monitor window opened and stood before Matthew.[ Hello, Matthew Wilson. The question box is now open. You can use your gained points to access the availa
