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

    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

    At a place a hundred miles away from where Greyson had stopped the car, Ivy received the message. She immediately called and inquired about the position of the two people. Half an hour later, a helicopter landed there."Hello, Great Uncle. You're okay, right?" Ivy greeted Jacob as he got off the helicopter. She wore a long dark coat over her white shirt. But it still couldn't hide the blood stains splashed on the originally clean shirt."You're disgusting!" Jacob, who was still angry at Greyson, couldn't control himself when he saw Ivy's appearance.Ivy laughed at Jacob's swearing. She didn't take offense. She had been interrogating him for a while. The blood stains on her shirt belonged to a stubborn man who kept his mouth shut. Ivy skinned him alive without hesitation."You're still as grumpy as ever. It's not good for your health." Ivy advised Jacob. Then she turned to Greyson. "What about you? You're not hurt, are you? I've taken care of everything. There's no need to worry. There

    When Greyson returned to the apartment, he was confronted by Matt at the door. The actor immediately attacked him with many questions."Where have you been? Were you so busy that you didn't have time to visit my place? I waited here for almost an hour. Give me your cell phone number now so I can call you sometime."Matt also complained that he forgot to ask for his cell phone number last night.Then he looked around and asked again. "Where's the guy with the stick? Is he inside? Or maybe he left already?""He's staying at the Hayes residence." Greyson only answered the last question and then opened the door.Matt followed inside without being asked."What's the need?" Greyson turned to face Matt."I'm feeling really bored. Today was just a shoot for an ad and I came home to a haunted apartment this afternoon." Matt sat on the living room sofa and looked around."What happened to you, did you have a fight with your great uncle?""I just stopped by the house and had dinner there. Great

    "Sorry, I've been very busy lately," Greyson answered quickly without feeling the need to think about it."Honey, I know you're upset. But-""I'm not angry. Yesterday I was just surprised and couldn't think clearly. Today I can accept it. It doesn't matter. I respect your choice. You don't have to worry about me." Greyson's voice did not betray any emotion. He was very calm.That only made Evelyn panic even more. Greyson used to be a naive man who would instantly believe anything Evelyn said. He would've been happy enough with the pleasantries Evelyn sent him every now and then. Evelyn could even be sure that with just a snap of her fingers, Greyson would do whatever Evelyn wanted."I-actually, Oliver forced me into a relationship. You know he's always had some sort of tendency to bully you. For no reason, he would feel happy if he could hurt you. He's mentally ill. Always boasting about his family name which is nothing compared to yours-""Evelyn." Greyson interrupted again while mas

    "Just follow what I say. Let them have it." Greyson raised his gaze and looked at the assistant impatiently.Daniel still didn't understand. He couldn't resist asking. "What about the project?""It will go according to plan," Greyson assured Daniel and sank back into his work.Daniel's head was still filled with questions. How could the boss say that the project would go according to plan if they still hadn't gotten the land? What to do if they take the land and start building apartments? Are we just going to let them have it?But because he felt it was too much, Daniel could only swallow his questions again."Just report to me on the progress. I'll give you further instructions." Greyson said again before Daniel left the room with curiosity filling his heart.***Felix Winters was a happy-looking forty-five-year-old man. He was content with his current life and felt even more blessed after the land located in the most strategic location in the city was offered by two companies. Alth

    Declan Brooks watched the man sitting on the couch opposite him with disgust. He squeezes the glass in his hand with such force that he almost crushes it. But there was nothing he could do but wait for Felix to stop having fun.Felix, on the other hand, finished his drink glass by glass. He wasn't lying, his drinking ability was above average.Until now, his mind was still clear. He looked at the clock from time to time and had fun while waiting. At some point, he couldn't take it anymore.The drink was truly extraordinary. The kind that couldn't be obtained easily at ordinary drinking places. The girls were also very friendly. He didn't care if they were just pretending. He greedily touched them from moment to moment.But until two hours later, when Felix had run out of jokes, the call he was waiting for didn't come. He finally decided to give up.Trang!Felix set the glass down roughly on the glass table. He had decided that this was the last glass he would drink.Everyone in the ro

    As Daniel left the CEO's office, he crossed paths with Charlotte Baker who was now the finance director. Daniel gave the woman a slight nod of respect and continued on his way. He had a bad feeling about his boss.Arriving at Greyson's office door, Charlotte knocked. She pushed open the door as a voice shooed her in."Aunt Charlotte." Greyson immediately greeted the woman. "Is everything alright?"Charlotte's face looked glum as she approached a sofa and sat there.She wasn't the type to be easily incited. Her presence yesterday in the meeting room was also just to see the situation. But the matter this time was very serious. There was more impetus for her to ask her nephew directly. She wanted to ask for an explanation that could be accounted for. Not just nonsense."Tell me, how could you decide to cancel the land purchase when you knew it was the most important part for the project to go ahead. Is Hayes Global being too calculating for such a small thing?" Charlotte was practical w

  • Foolish Great Rich Heir   Chapter 42. Linda Flynn

    "Greyson, what are you doing here?"A young woman's voice reprimanded Greyson as he exited a supermarket. He had just bought half a dozen cans of fruit juice.The woman was wearing a T-shirt an old jacket and jeans. Her shoulder-length blonde hair was tied back. A sling bag was slung over her shoulder. She looked relaxed and a little disheveled.Greyson recognized her immediately. Linda Flynn.She was one of his high school classmates. The most indifferent girl who sat in the corner of the classroom. She ignored her surroundings. Perhaps because of that, a rumor developed.Linda was a poor girl who worked after school. She did everything she could to survive, even selling herself.But the rest of the time no one dared to bother her. Maybe it was because of her cold stare every time she met people's eyes. After all, a school thug was once beaten unconscious when he tried to touch her. Everyone tried to avoid him even though they still talked bad about him.Greyson was also not a popula

    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

    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

    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.

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
