Jake's eyes trailed towards Aiden who had his back facing them and was about to slip away.

Seeing him, a ruthless smile appeared on his face. Then he walked toward Aiden who had already given up on running away.

Elsa had already used him as a shield, there was nothing else he could do about it.

"Good afternoon, Mr.?" Jake forced a smile, appearing rather Civil as he stretched his hands for a handshake.

"Aiden," Aiden nodded, taking the handshake, but soon his expression changed as he felt Jake squeezing his hands.

He was not going to be outdone; quickly, he applied some strength, pressing back Jake's hand.

""Ouch," Jake winced in pain and quickly withdrew his hands.

"So you are Elsa's boyfriend?" Jake narrowed his eyes, glaring at Aiden as if saying he would be dead if he were to agree.

"Well, I'm not..."

"Hubby, have you gotten the apartment?" At this moment, Elsa's voice sounded as she walked over, a charming smile on her face as she took Aiden's hands into hers.

"Fuck!" Aiden curse

    "How is this possible..." Jake stuttered, raising his head to stare at Elsa who had a mocking smile on her face at the moment."You don't have to ask me? How will I know when I'm not inside his pocket," Elsa rolled her eyes at Jake."How...how were you able to afford such a house?" Jake glared at Aiden who was staring at him with an unfriendly smile."And how's that your business?" Aiden scoffed, snatching back the document in Jake's hands."This must be a lie," Jake shook his head, not wanting to believe what he was seeing.There was no way Aiden would be able to afford that villa. He had been eyeing the Villa many times, but he didn't dare to buy it.It was not that he couldn't afford it, but the fact that it was going to have a heavy impact on him, so he didn't try it.Besides, it was just a House, there was no need to be so extravagant, so he didn't dare get it.But here he was seeing Aiden, who was dressed like someone who couldn't afford three square meals, holding the documents

    "I don't understand how I was involved in this...." A young man stuttered, staring at the letter in his hands before raising his head to look at the figure in front of him."What the heck do you even think you're talking about." A feminine voice thundered glaring at the young man."Get the heck out of my office right now, you miserable thief!" She continued, pointing at the door."But....""I said get out!" The voice bellowed, pointing at the door, a scowl appearing on her face."I...""If you don't want me to call the police right on you and get you arrested for your crimes, then you should get the heck out of here right now!""I....""Now..." The feminine voice interrupted standing and banging the table out of anger.Having no other choice, Aiden could only turn around and walk out of the office with a dejected look on his face.He just couldn't understand what was happening and why this was happening.A few weeks back, some of his colleagues had gotten into a fight. In the process,

    Instantly, Aiden felt his world come crashing to the floor. Everything was over in just how many minutes.It was not even up to an hour, yet he was doomed.First, he was fired for no reason and was also accused of stealing money he didn't know about. Then his girlfriend also broke up with him.Now his sister's health was declining rapidly. What was he going to do?How was he going to be able to pay for her treatment? No one would be willing to borrow a penniless man like him money. How was he going to do it?"Alright sir, I'll be there soon," Aiden responded and then ended the call.At the moment, he was at a dead end and didn't know what else he was going to do.The world was already against him and he had nothing else again. How was he going to survive this?[Ding! Conditions for Activating System met"Activating System"]A voice rang in Aiden's head before he could do anything."Huh? What's that?" Aiden muttered and looked around, not knowing what else to do."Activation complete

    "Sir, sign here," The doctor pointed at a place on the paper asking Aiden to sign."Also here," He continued after Aiden signed the papers pointing at another spot."Thank you very much, we'll commence with the operation soon," The doctor smiled and then walked away quickly to arrange for the operation.Aiden sighed and walked to his sister's ward. Looking at the weak and skinny girl on the bed, he couldn't help but shake his head and his eyes became red."Brother." A weak voice called just as Aiden reached his sister's side."Kayla, " Aiden forced a smile holding his sister's bony hands while caressing them slowly.His sister had been sick since she was little and their parents were not rich enough to afford the operation. After they had passed away in the ghastly accident, the task of taking care of her had fallen upon him.Her condition had gotten worse and she had been hospitalized. Because he couldn't afford the money for a full treatment, the hospital could only help give just a

    Aiden nodded and got onto the scooter and the man drove away. The man driving the scooter had a frown on his face.Though he couldn't believe that Aiden was going to have the money to buy the company, it was none of his business.He had already called the owner and told him that he had gotten a buyer.He had already been paid, so he couldn't care less if the other party was going to be able to buy the company.Soon, the two arrived at a rather magnificent building. The building looked huge and one of the most beautiful in the area.Aiden was shocked in his heart seeing this. All he thought was that the company he was about to buy was just a small company. He didn't expect the company to be this huge. What the heck was happening?He wasn't going to care anyway. All he wanted was to acquire a company.Stopping the scooter, the man alighted from it and so did Aiden. Just by the gate of the huge building was a medium-height figure in a Tang suit looking like he had been waiting for the tw

    "Host now has a company." The mechanical voice came again and Aiden couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief.He didn't know he was going to be able to tell the System that the company was given to him.But it seemed like that was none of the System's problem, and it just counted it directly."Host has received ten million dollars and a skill." The mechanical voice sounded again and the next moment, Aiden's phone beeped.Checking, he saw the alert of the ten million and couldn't help but smile."Skill would be uploaded into the host memory." The mechanical voice came again, and the next moment, a light screen appeared in front of Aiden reading."Skill uploading...."In front of it was a percentage bar which read 2% out of a hundred.Soon, the percentage bar got to a hundred and the mechanical voice sounded."Skill uploaded."Aiden felt a warm stream of energy flow into his head. Instantly, information poured in like a flowing stream.After a while, the stream of information stopp

  • I Have A Boyfriend

    Minutes later, a car pulled up in front of a building. Alighting from the car were Aiden and Scott.Though Aiden had an unwilling expression, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't use force, so he could as well let Scott do what he wanted."Welcome, sir," The sales girls greeted as Aiden, Scott, and Elsa walked into the company."You come here," Scott beckoned to one of the sales girls."Sir," The girl answered rather respectfully, staring at Scott. She knew who Scott was and how ruthless he was.At the moment, all the sales girls in the place were sweating. They didn't know what Scott wanted, or if he had caught wind, one of them was cheating.The sales girl Scott called over was trembling all over making Aiden frown lightly, glanced at Scott, then at the girl.He couldn't help but wonder how ruthless he was for them all to be so scared of him. Well, there was no need to think too much about it.Who was not going to be scared of someone who could send you to jail at any time?Th

  • Meeting Scott Again

    "Do you think she will come back?" Elsa glanced at Aiden, whose head was on the seat with his eyes closed."Yeah, definitely she'll come," Aiden chuckled, not opening his eyes."If she's not a fool," He added after a while."If she can't realize the truth from what I've told her, then she's a lost cause," He continued.Elsa nodded without saying anything. She understood what Aiden was trying to say. At that moment, she realized there were a lot of things that went wrong.There was no way she would have been able to win the court case easily if there had been no one secretly pulling the strings from behind. It was just as Aiden had said, she would really be gullible if she didn't come back to find them.Aiden, on the other hand, didn't believe Abigail was not going to come looking for them. From what he had read, she was the owner of one of the top companies in Oakridge.For a woman like her to be able to build and maintain such a company meant that she was capable, so there was no ne

  • Meeting Abigail Jackson

    Staring at the Villa right in front, Aiden didn't know what to do for a moment. How was he supposed to go in and look for the person living here?"Let's go," He shook his head, pushing these thoughts out of his mind. There was no need to think this way.Though he had never done something like this, it was not as though he couldn't do it.Ringing the doorbell, Elsa and Aiden stood by the door waiting for someone to come open the door.Soon, the loud creaking of the door was heard, and a young girl around the age of ten poked her head out, staring at Aiden and Elsa."Young girl, do you mind if you get your mother for us?" Aiden smiled lightly, as he said."Alright," The girl nodded, closing the door and leaving Aiden and Elsa standing there.Soon enough, the door opened once again and a woman in her late thirties walked out of the door, sizing Aiden and Elsa."How may I help you please?" The woman frowned lightly, her gaze fixated on the two."If I may ask, are you Miss Abigail Jackson?

  • Cost Of A Little Mistake

    "Good Morning sir," Dominic's old voice came from the other end of the phone."Morning, old man," Aiden chuckled, returning the greetings."Sorry for disturbing you. But I would like to know, do you know the person who sued the company?" Aiden inquired, going straight to the point."Well..." Dominic started but fell silent again."I'm not really sure about the person, all I know is that it was one of the customers whose child took the snack that sued the company." Dominic continued after a while."As for his information, I don't know about the person, so I'm a little bit helpless. Back then, I tried to look for the person so he or she would drop the charges since I was sure nothing was wrong with our snacks, but all my efforts were futile," Dominic added, the sadness in his voice could be felt."Though I don't know who exactly had plotted against the company, I can tell the person who sued the company was truly infuriated as no matter how much I pleaded, I was met with refusal.""Old

  • Elsa's Thoughts

    Hearing this, Elsa frowned slightly but she didn't say anything. She had also read the documents, so he knew that was the resident of one of the victims used in conspiring against the company.But what was he going to do there? Treat the victim? Well, with Aiden's medical skills, he was going to be able to treat the other party.She was not expecting him to take his approach. She had thought he was going to just go directly to open the case and then go to the court. He already had enough evidence in hand, so why bother visiting the victims.Though she knew they were used, she had a feeling the victims also knew about it, else why would they be willing to agree.Well, this was Aiden's decision, she was not going to interfere. At the moment, she was more like his driver, so there was no way she would be able to advise him not to do what he wanted.Also, there was a bit of a problem, Maplewood Estate was one of the places where the rich families of the city resided.Taking a glance at th
