Jacob was stunned when the group of men and women under the glass floor greeted him. Rodriguez's son returned it with a smile. The workers in the room then returned to their work after greeting him. “Me and the people down there work for you, Mr. Wyatt. So … take good care of us,” Shanum said, which made Jacob nod with a stiff face. Ewald suppressed a smile as he saw the surprised expression of Rodriguez's only son. The wooden floor again covered the glass floor below them. Shanum closed the control room door. She invited Jacob and her guests to sit in the chairs facing the screens.“Okay, I'm starting to understand, and … have you been spying my movements?” Jacob asked suspiciously. “I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable, Sir. It's just that we can't afford to lose Rodriguez's sole heir. Just think, 10 years of searching has yielded zero results. In fact, you can see for yourself. These CCTVs are installed in almost every corner of the city, but not a single one has captured yo
Coffee Shop. Black Hope, Rowbon town. Samuel and Morris met Diablo Torres and two of his friends, Hector and Kendrick. The two men from Kaye were shocked when they were told about Jacob, who was trusted by Torres to find out about Rodriguez's son. "Didn't you hear me wrong?" asked Samuel, glaring. "Yes. Father told me himself. I'm also forbidden from approaching Jacob again because it makes my name even worse. The last case made the stock drop drastically and father was very angry," explained Diablo irritably and took a sip of his black coffee. Samuel and Morris looked at each other in silence. Morris stared intently at Hector and Kendrick, who nodded slowly in confirmation of Diablo's statement. "What a sycophant. Jacob must have done something for Mr. Torres to trust him. What can that kid do? He's been a servant all his life. And now, a spy for Mr. Torres? Huh, I'm sure your father is just being used by him," Morris said condescendingly. "Yes, I think so too, Mr. Morris. Jaco
Jacob felt his choice to leave the Torres Company gave him plenty of time to learn new things, especially the life of a trillionaire. Sheena and Ewald, imparted new knowledge to the Rodriguez scion. There was a significant change in Jacob Wyatt. He was now the wealthy young master that the people around him expected him to be. That afternoon. Rodriguez mansion. Rowbon Town. "Sheena," Jacob called out to the beautiful woman in her room. "Yes, Mr. Wyatt," Sheena replied kindly as she noticed a significant change in Jacob, who was now more charming as he looked like a wealthy young master. "Will ... you be attending my birthday party?" asked Jacob, no longer sounding nervous when talking to her. Sheena smiled. "I'm really sorry. I won't be able to attend because of my busy theater rehearsal schedule. The performance will be next week," replied the beautiful woman with a smile. Jacob nodded slowly in response. Sheena looked uncomfortable because the handsome man seemed to expect her
As Jacob and Ewald were about to leave the room, suddenly one of the male servants came in and showed them a black box. Ewald and Jacob's brows furrowed."Before leaving, Sheena gave this to me. She said that something evil might happen during the party. In anticipation of that, Sheena asked Mr. Wyatt to wear it," the man said as he handed the box to Ewald.Ewald, who was curious, opened the box. As it turned out, the box contained a black mask with gold glitter on the edges. The mask only covered the upper half of the face. Jacob took the mask and stared at it intently."I consider this a useful anticipatory gift," he said as he put it on.Ewald smiled and then adjusted the mask to make it look just right when worn by his young master. The mask didn't even need a hook or rubber to keep it from slipping off. It was firmly attached to Jacob's face."Great. It didn't fall off at all," Jacob said admiringly."Yes. Sheena is full of surprises," Ewald said, making Jacob smile. He went back
The young ladies were stunned when Wyatt asked Gizelle to dance with him. Naturally, the blonde beauty accepted with a beaming smile. Jessica and the other young ladies who didn't get the chance quickly left the dance floor. They decided to enjoy the food that had been provided. Jacob invited his partner onto the dance floor. The other couples followed. Ewald looked closely at his young master, who did not look nervous at all, unlike when he danced with Sheena. In fact, Jacob looked so confident as he cradled Gizelle's hips with his left hand and gripped her delicate hand with his right. Slowly, the music began to accompany the young couples dancing on the floor. It looked like a royal ball because everyone was dressed to the nines. They were wearing expensive dresses and suits. Their special hairstyles, complemented by sparkling accessories and heavy make-up, made them look glamorous. Jacob watched Gizelle's face intently as he continued to take steps, inviting her to dance. Gizell
Naturally, the guests in the large room panicked. The bodyguards moved to all the entrances and exits. They wanted to make sure that the invited guests, who were allegedly involved in the disappearance of the Rodriguez family fortune, could not escape. Jacob hung the envelope he had opened back on the branch of the silver tree. The guests were kept in suspense as the atmosphere in the room was tense. “This room has been equipped with CCTV. As of today, I will be monitoring your movements throughout the country. It's because your parents, or even you, are involved in the disappearance of my family's assets,” Jacob stressed. “I swear I know nothing about your assets, Mr. Wyatt!” exclaimed a frantic black-haired young woman named Lorena. “If that's the case, investigate. I know you love Mum and Dad very much. That's why I'm not going to take your parents to court, because I'm sure they haven't all committed crimes against my family's assets,” Jacob said, to the relief of his guests.
The next day, news of Wyatt Rodriguez's birthday party being rumored to have ulterior motives began to surface. However, when it was confirmed by the media, the people who had signed the deal turned on those who had reported them. “I don't feel that way, because yesterday's birthday party actually brought profit to my business. Mr. Wyatt invested his wealth to make my business grow. In fact, the Big 10 members came to support me when my business was about to expand into their territory. This is amazing!” Almero enthused when met at one of his 5-star restaurants. This was also confirmed by several people. However, Gizelle and Miranda, who intended to put Wyatt down, instead received scorn from people, who sided with the Wyatt Rodriguez. “They are jealous because they were not invited. Mr. Wyatt was still kind enough to allow the two ignorant women to join the party. But, Gizelle wounded Mr. Wyatt instead. She scratched Mr. Wyatt's handsome face on purpose!” said Rachel at her offi
In his loneliness, Jacob saw dimly because of the many mists around him. He felt a nagging chill that made him hug his arms as he walked slowly. The man's eyes scanned the area until his body twisted, not knowing where he was. Suddenly, the mist in front of him dissipated. Jacob was stunned to see himself as a child on his mother's lap. Jacob was stunned. He had missed his mother so much that he had almost forgotten her. "Mum ...," Jacob called, his chest tightening. Until he saw his mother showing him a ring like the one he was wearing now. "Jacob. Mum gave you this ring. It looks awful, but it's very precious. You must keep it and not lose it. Do you understand?" the beautiful woman with the long brown hair asked as she looked intently at her son. "I promise," little Jacob replied with a nod. Suddenly, a pain shot through his chest. Jacob clutched his aching chest. His throat constricted, making it difficult for him to breathe. His eyes wide open. "Young master!" a woman calle
