Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 28. More People Are Better
When he arrived at the apartment, Greyson found out that the young man following Jacob was his great-uncle's assistant. The man named Alex left as soon as he made sure all of Jacob's belongings were packed.Greyson helped put Jacob's things in a room adjacent to his own.Jacob looked around the room and was quite satisfied."I haven't had dinner yet. Don't tell me you're good at cooking. Better order something before I starve to death." Jacob walked out of the room with a grumble. He looked very dexterous as he stepped without the cane he usually carried.Greyson just nodded and immediately picked up his cell phone, intending to call the restaurant.They were in the living room at that moment. The doorbell suddenly rang.Greyson checked the monitoring screen and couldn't help but complain. Matt Vega waved his hand in front of the camera. He also showed his luggage. Greyson reluctantly opened the door for Matt.Matt came alone. He was relieved that Greyson finally accepted his arrival
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 29. Old family photos
"I don't want to live with anyone." Greyson made his decision, ignoring Matt's disappointed expression.But not so with Jacob. He said in an indifferent tone. "You can't kick out your own great uncle. So, this neighbor guy has to go.""This isn't fair." Matt felt like he had been wronged."It's fair enough on a familial level." Jacob chuckled as he leaned back in his chair."What do you mean by family fair?" Matt said fiercely. The old man in front of him was as expected, annoying."We're family. That somehow takes precedence over friends or neighbors." Jacob said with a proud tone of having won this competition."Mr. Hayes-""Matt, go home," Greyson cut in quickly. He didn't understand how these two people could be so stubborn."I-"Greyson quickly dragged Matt out of the dining room and onto the main door."Greyson, aren't we friends? Friends wouldn't treat me like this." Matt was still trying to protest.Greyson picked up Matt's coat hanging near the door and threw it at the man's
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 30. The Wicked Nephew
After some routine parts of the meeting, the main agenda of the day arrived. Rowan Hayes stood up to read out the demands that he said had come from several shareholders. He put forward several reasons that cornered Greyson and forced him to step down. Before he had finished speaking, someone had pounded the table angrily."Who are you to tell my nephew's grandson to leave his own company?" It was Jacob Hayes who had glared at Rowan.The man who was being yelled at became daunted. "Uncle, it's me Rowan Hayes, your nephew.""I don't have an evil nephew. Tell me how many shares you have. I'll buy them right now!" Jacob said again.The meeting room was immediately excited. They had heard about Jacob Hayes being back. But they didn't know much about this man. It turned out that he was very hot-tempered."Uncle, I-""Get out of here if you don't want to work here anymore. My assistant will take care of purchasing your shares." Jacob even stood up and pointed with his cane.Charlotte quick
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 31. Making This Car Fly
Soon there was a commotion in the boardroom. Rowan, not quick enough to dodge, was beaten to a pulp by Jacob. No one dared to break it up. Until finally Greyson managed to catch the old man's stick.Rowan immediately ran away from that place with shame on her face."Let me go. Let me kill that evil kid. He was trying to push you out of the company, while he was eating away at the company from the inside. It's a good thing it was caught immediately. Otherwise, the Hayes family would have been wiped out at his hands overnight!" Jacob shouted until his voice became hoarse. Then he started coughing.Greyson asked for a glass of water from the secretary and gave it to Jacob."Great Uncle, you should have stayed home. I told you, I can handle this." Greyson felt sorry for letting Jacob follow him to the company. "You have no right to stop me from leaving." Jacob immediately contradicted his grand nephew.The meeting ended early. But in that short time, everyone had come to a decision: Row
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 32. Enough Fuel
In the distance, Greyson saw a fork. slammed the steering wheel in an arbitrary direction. The car made a hard right turn.Jacob's head hit the window. He yelled at Greyson again."Stupid grand-nephew! You shouldn't have gotten your license.""Great uncle, I don't have a driver's license." Greyson laughed as he said it.Jacob’s stomach immediately felt nauseous.Greyson Hayes, the sole heir of the Hayes family, who was currently driving one of the most expensive cars, didn't have a driver's license? What kind of stupidity could his grand nephew do? If he got a ticket, wouldn't it be a huge embarrassment to the family?Greyson's car continued forward. Meanwhile, the following car also turned right. Undoubtedly, they were being followed."Great uncle, aren't I pretty good?! Look, they have to work hard to catch up." Greyson felt even more excited.Jacob wanted to hit the young man next to him on the head. Unfortunately, his hands were busy holding on.The car was still chasing on the d
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 33. FN Five-seveN
Only then did Greyson panic a little. He was still driving the car at high speed. This time while thinking. Then, with one hand, he opened the dashboard drawer. He fiddled, but the drawer didn't open. As if he just realized it, he put his finger on the biometric scanner. The drawer opened. Greyson felt inside but found nothing. "What are you looking for?" Jacob saw Greyson's complicated expression and his actions of searching for something in the drawer. "There might be a weapon in here," Greyson told him his guess. Jacob looked around them. "Try the center console." Without turning his head, Greyson reached between the two seats. This time he found a scanner and immediately stuck his finger there. The console opened. Greyson pulled out a pistol from inside. He took a quick glance and immediately exclaimed. "Wow, FN Five-seveN!" This was his favorite weapon in fighting games. "Great uncle, even if you can't drive, at least you know how, right? Come over here. Put your h
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 34. Almost
Nervously, Jacob took Greyson's place behind the wheel."Keep up the speed." Greyson gave instructions while examining the weapon in his hand with excitement. It looked exactly like the in-game version. "Don't teach me. I know what to do!" Jacob snapped back at Greyson. "Just do your part properly. Otherwise, you won't be able to redeem my precious life even by selling Hayes Global."Actually, he didn't really know. But where was his pride as a senior?With awkward hands and feet, Jacob took hold of the steering wheel and stepped on the gas pedal as his eyes glanced at the digital panel displaying the car's current speed. Greyson clicked his tongue when he heard Jacob's words. Then what about his life? There were four of his sisters who would go berserk if he was found tragically dead.Thinking about that made Greyson remember Ivy. He wonder where that cruel sister is? What would Ivy do if she were in his position right now?He could have contacted Ivy for help. But is it possible t
Foolish Great Rich Heir Chapter 35. Professional Shooter
Bang!The bullet again glided smoothly in the trajectory Greyson had calculated. He even seemed to be able to see it in slow motion through the air forming a straight line of death.In reality, it happened very quickly. The man in the passenger seat only heard the sound of shattering glass, and suddenly, his driver friend lost control. He reflexively looked to the side.His friend's eyes were wide open in disbelief. There was a red stain in the center of his forehead.They weren't dealing with a professional shooter, were they?Before the shock wore off, the man in the passenger seat felt the car swerve. He tried to hold the steering wheel, but another shot was fired.Bang!His body jerked backward. His hands quickly clutched his chest, which suddenly felt extremely painful. He looked down and saw a wound in unspeakable horror. He had been shot. Right in the heart.In his car, Greyson's face took on a cold look as he saw the car behind suddenly stop. He turned away from the scene and

Chapter 55. The Man in the Golden Mask
Naomi hid a small knife that she had intended to use to cut her restraints. It was a folding knife, less than four inches long, barely noticeable when held in her palm. After hours in captivity, she had devised several strategies. This tiny knife was her last card, carefully concealed within the folds of her clothing.Outside, a few people were talking. Their voices were deliberately lowered, making it impossible to make out their conversation. Then came the sound of a lock being undone, followed by the creak of a turning doorknob. The door pushed open from the outside. Three people stepped into the dimly lit room where Naomi was held.The room itself was shrouded in mystery. The stone walls were old, with peeling paint. A small window was covered by heavy drapes, blocking out all light. The air smelled of dampness and dust, as if the place had been abandoned for years.Naomi’s sharp gaze landed on the man standing directly before her. He wore a dark coat, and his long blonde hair cas
Chapter 54. Mr. Reed Is Missing Too
For a moment, Greyson frowned. He had caught a glimpse of worry in Mrs. Reed’s expression.He raised his voice slightly, trying to remain polite. "Mrs. Reed, I am Naomi’s brother. We’re very worried. Could you let me in?"He knocked on the door repeatedly.No response. No movement either.Greyson repeated his actions once more."Ma’am, if there’s a problem, you can talk to me. We can help each other."This time, the door creaked open slightly, revealing the weary and anxious face of the middle-aged woman. Her eyes scrutinized Greyson from head to toe, as if trying to read his thoughts. Traces of dried tears were still visible on her wrinkled cheeks."Come in," Mrs. Reed finally said, her voice hoarse.The simple living room was filled with an air of unease. Family photos adorned the walls, showcasing moments of happiness from the Reed family’s past. A few houseplants near the window looked wilted, as if mirroring the distress of the home’s occupants. Mrs. Reed sat in a chair facing Gr
Chapter 53. The Investigation
Greyson grabbed his phone from the desk and quickly dialed Ivy’s number.The ringing repeated several times before Ivy’s firm voice answered from the other end."Grey? You finally called me," Ivy sounded exhausted."What happened to Naomi?" Greyson asked immediately, regretting that he had ignored all their calls.A heavy sigh came from the other end. "Naomi went to her parents’ house as planned, but after that..." Ivy paused. "She never came back, Grey. No calls, no messages, and her phone has been off.""What have you found out so far?" he asked in a calm voice."My people have been investigating," Ivy replied. "Naomi’s parents are clean. They’re just as confused as we are.""Any other leads?" Greyson asked again, walking toward the window.He gazed at the cityscape below."We’re looking into the man her parents introduced her to," Ivy continued, her tone laced with displeasure. "That man is on a business trip out of town. I’ve had someone follow him, but so far, nothing suspicious.
Chapter 52. The Women Who Were Too Busy
"His name is Matt Vegan," Jacob announced enthusiastically to everyone. "You must have heard of him. He's a famous actor."A brief silence followed. The faces on the phone screen exchanged confused looks."Never heard of him," Silvia was the first to reply, followed by nods from Ivy and Samantha.Jacob groaned loudly, furrowing his brows in disappointment. Matt was incredibly famous. Half the women in the country adored him. He stared at the screen in disbelief. But these women—either too busy or simply uninterested in entertainment news—claimed not to know him."Sorry, his name has never appeared in any financial reports I read," Silvia replied dryly."I don't like reading gossip magazines," Ivy added, crossing her arms defensively. "Besides, I have more important things to do than watch people act.""Same here. I have a lot of patients to take care of," Samantha chimed in."So, how do you know this Matt guy?" Ivy asked, her tone sharp and investigative. Her eyes narrowed suspiciousl
Chapter 51. The Terrifying Video Call
Silvia’s face appeared on the screen first. Her usually neat hair was slightly messy, a clear sign that she was busy with work.“What is it, Naomi? I’m in the middle of something,” she said with a hint of annoyance before her eyes landed on Greyson behind Naomi. “Oh, Grey?”Greyson offered a small smile toward the screen. “Hello, Silvia.” Then, he tried to move out of the camera’s view, but Jacob deliberately pushed him back into the frame.“Silvia, do you remember our childhood promise with Grey?” Naomi asked without preamble.Silvia’s eyes suddenly sparkled, her professional demeanor crumbling in an instant. “Which one? Oh, you mean that promise?” She chuckled.“Exactly,” Naomi nodded in satisfaction. “Grey here thinks we’ve all forgotten about it.”“Forgotten?” Silvia raised an eyebrow. “How could I possibly forget? I even kept the agreement he signed with a red crayon.”“You kept it?!” Greyson couldn’t hide his shock.“Of course, Grey. It’s a legal document.” Silvia grinned mischi
Chapter 50. A Childhood Promise
The room fell silent. Even Jacob stopped chewing his food.As far as he knew, all four of Greyson’s sisters’ biological parents had passed away."Your biological parents?" Greyson asked. "I thought they were dead?"Naomi nodded. "They were just an ordinary couple living in another city. I’ve met them a few times.""How... how are they?" Greyson asked carefully, realizing how sensitive this topic was for Naomi."They’re good," Naomi replied with a small smile. "They’re kind people. But...""But?""After meeting them a few times, they introduced me to a strange man," Naomi continued with a hint of annoyance in her tone. "And they suggested that I marry him."Jacob nearly choked on his drink. "Just like that? After only meeting a few times?""Yep," Naomi laughed dryly. "It seems like they’re eager to see me ‘happy’ according to their definition."Greyson nodded slowly, unsure how to respond. He wasn’t someone who was good at comforting others or giving advice."That reminds me," Naomi su
Chapter 49. Learning to Cook
Greyson, who was usually stubborn, always found himself helpless when it came to Naomi. With a long sigh, he stood up and approached his sister.“Alright. What do you want me to do?” he asked reluctantly.For the next hour, Greyson’s kitchen turned into a chaotic training ground. Naomi patiently gave instructions, demonstrated, and Greyson tried to follow. The results were disastrous.“Oh my God, Grey! You can’t cut onions like that!” Naomi nearly screamed when she saw Greyson brutally massacring an onion. “You’re chopping it like you’re torturing someone!”“It’s just an onion,” Greyson muttered, not understanding why something so small could make his sister so frustrated.“It’s an art,” Naomi corrected, taking the knife from him. “Look, like this. The motion has to be smooth and consistent.”Greyson tried again, but the results weren’t much better. When it was time to sauté, hot oil splattered everywhere, nearly hitting Naomi’s face.“Okay, enough!” Naomi finally threw her hands up i
Chapter 48. Naomi’s Visit
There were still a few days left before Greyson had to leave for the island training. Strangely, he didn’t even think about it. It was as if the looming threat of death was nothing but a passing breeze. As usual, Greyson continued working diligently at the company, spending his time in front of computer screens and stacks of documents.He also refused to meet with Brooks’ father, who had offered to sell their land at half the original purchase price. It wasn’t just intentional—Greyson was genuinely busy.That evening, Greyson’s usually quiet apartment was startled by the sharp sound of the doorbell. He glanced at the clock—it was almost dinnertime. Hopefully, it wasn’t Matt again.Checking the monitor screen, Greyson was slightly surprised to see Naomi—his third sister. He quickly opened the door. Naomi stood before him with a wide smile, carrying several large shopping bags in her hands.“Surprise!” Naomi exclaimed cheerfully, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. “I tho
Chapter 47. Just an Accident
Greyson remained seated, seemingly unaware of the flash of metal hurtling toward him.Time slowed. Suddenly, the phone in his hand slipped and fell to the floor. He bent down to pick it up.Whoosh!The bullet whizzed past exactly where his head had been a second ago, striking the wall behind him and sending a cloud of dust and shattered plaster into the air.“Holy shit!” Jacob shouted, his face turning pale. With a swift movement, he lunged at Matt and snatched the gun from his hand. “What the hell are you doing, you idiot?!”Matt froze, his mouth slightly open. His face didn’t show the panic one would expect from someone who had nearly killed his friend. Instead, his expression was unreadable—somewhere between shock and... disappointment?“I... I didn’t mean to,” Matt finally muttered, his voice low. “I didn’t realize the trigger was that sensitive.”Greyson straightened up, his gaze shifting from the bullet hole in the wall to Matt, his expression unnaturally calm. As if his near-d
