Once a rising star in the Air Force, Gilbert Hayes’ life took a sharp turn after he was dismissed for past mistakes. Two years ago, when his girlfriend, Vivienne Astor, was battling lupus, Gilbert made a heartbreaking choice: he donated his kidney, hoping the powerful Astor family would help his ailing mother in return. Though they kept their promises, Gilbert’s mother didn’t survive, leaving him with nothing but a broken heart. Allowed to marry Vivienne out of his genuine love for her, Gilbert now faces relentless rejection from his in-laws. Once warmly welcomed, he’s now seen as unworthy of their family—dismissed for his humble background, despite his sacrifice. But Gilbert’s transformation from a pathetic loser to a potent legend begins when he becomes the commander of a private legion and the heir to the powerful Hayes family. Now, the tables are turning. Those who once looked down on him will soon be begging for mercy.

Amid the lively chatter and clinking glasses, frustration remained etched across Ralph's face, making it impossible for him to enjoy a single moment of it. He stormed over to Jeffrey, Fiona’s husband, without hesitation.“This isn’t over,” Ralph muttered through gritted teeth, glancing toward the stage where the bride and groom were trying to salvage the day. ''That manager—Mr. Kevin Smith, right? I’ll make sure he regrets it today.''Jeffrey, holding a glass of whiskey, raised an eyebrow with disinterest. ''You really think it’s worth it? The wedding’s back on track. Just let it go, okay?''“Let it go?” Ralph scoffed, his gaze determined. ''I’ve been humiliated, in public. Do you know what it feels like to have people thinking the head of Manta Oil got played by some lowly hotel clerk?'' His hand balled into a fist. “I’ll bury that man’s career.”The next moment, Jocelyn Astor, who had been standing nearby, joined the conversation, her face tight with anger. ''Jeffrey, I still can’t

Clara, the event coordinator, hurried over to Adrian Astor, the head of the Astor family, and leaned in close. ''The hall was booked by another client. You need to wrap things up immediately.'' The news hit them like a bombshell. Guests glanced at one another in confusion, murmuring complaints under their breath. “This is insane,” someone whispered. Chairs scraped across the floor as guests reluctantly gathered their belongings, muttering curses. A glamorous celebration now on the brink of collapse. Ralph and Adrian charged toward Clara, anger etched across their faces. “Who gave that order?!” Adrian barked, his glare sharp enough to cut a glass. Ralph threw his hands in the air in frustration, ''Mmm. What the heck is going on? We need answers—now!'' Clara raised her palms, trying to keep calm under their heated stares. ''I’m just following instructions. The hotel manager gave the order.'' Adrian scoffed. ''We paid a fortune for this wedding! How can he just shut us dow

Charles then said to Gilbert, ''I’ll make sure you get the official contract documents soon. Once you sign them, the project will be locked in, and everything will be set in motion.''Impressed, Gilbert gave a firm nod. ''No problem, Mr. Chase.”Charles glanced up from the table, his tone shifting slightly. “By the way, did you hear that Brandy and Ralph are throwing their wedding party in the next three weeks?”Gilbert’s brows furrowed in surprise as he shook his head. “No, I didn’t hear about that.”“Okay, fine,” Charles said, gulping before continuing, ''I’d like to invite you to the party. Will you come?''Caught off guard, Gilbert’s eyes widened, ''Uh… oh, okay. I’ll attend. But where’s the wedding going to be?''Charles exhaled softly, rubbing his chin in thought. “The venue hasn’t been locked down yet, but I’m guessing they’ll probably rent a hall in one of the most expensive hotels in New York.”He quickly sat back, mulling over Charles’s words. A hotel, huh? The thought stirr

Eventually, Mr. Hoffman requested Logan’s account details and proceeded with a $30 million bank transfer.

''No need. I’ll find Gilbert myself, okay?''Logan hesitated, confused by the insistence, but he didn't argue. He had gotten what he wanted—a hefty sum of money that more than made up for the deal. Without another word, Mr. Hoffman turned and walked out of his office.After he left, his expression, glum, clearly showed he wasn’t satisfied with how things had gone. Paying Logan $30 million for Gilbert's release left a bitter taste in his mouth. He knew Logan didn’t deserve a cent for his crooked actions. Now Logan would feel like he had come out on top, profiting from something he s

Vivienne's eyes widened in shock, and she inadvertently knocked a decorative object off the desk, a thud echoing through the silence. Logan’s jaw dropped. ''Sorry… come again? I don’t think I understand what you’re saying,'' he stuttered, disbelief in his voice.He could have bet his life, his fortune, and every achievement that Gilbert would never escape the mess he was in. The idea that someone like Mr. Hoffman would swoop in to buy Gilbert’s contract was unimaginable. Yet here it was, unfolding before him like an illusion.Scrambling for words, Logan tried to poison Mr. Hoffman’s view of Gilbert. ''You really don’t want to do that. Gilbert isn’t worth the trouble. He’s just a glorified cleaner, and you have no idea what you’re getting into.''Panic crept in. Logan had always felt safe knowing Gilbert couldn’t break free from the ten-year contract unless he paid the $5 million demanded. But now, with Mr. Hoffman standing there, Logan’s fear spiked. He knew Mr. Hoffman could easily

The moment Charles Chase walked away, Gilbert’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out, seeing Mr. Hoffman’s name on the screen. Without a second thought, he answered.“Commander, are we good to go?” Mr. Hoffman’s voice came through, calm but firm.Gilbert glanced around, ensuring no one was close enough to overhear. ''Yes. Everything's in place. Head to Logan’s office like we planned.''''On my way.

Sighing deeply, Gilbert brushed off his clothes as if nothing had happened. His eyes locked onto Logan’s, and with a calm but firm tone, he said, “Uh, the fake card shouldn’t be any of your business. Stick to what concerns you.”Because Gilbert wanted to keep a low profile about his recent breakthrough, he affirmed that the card was fake, hoping it wouldn’t draw further curiosity.Logan blinked, still holding the card, his previous smugness replaced by confusion and frustration. He opened his mouth to respond but found no words, the power dynamic between them suddenly shifting in an instant.His expression darkened, dismissing Gilbert’s previous statement. “Fake, huh?” he whispered, twisting the card in his fingers. “Doesn’t surprise me. You think you can fool us, walking around with this, trying to show off?”Vivienne stepped a little bit closer. “Yeah, Gilbert, you really thought you could use this to impress us? Pathetic. You’ll never be on our level.”Gilbert couldn't do anything

The butler, without reluctance, swiftly handed Gilbert the key fob. Gilbert’s fingers tightened around it, his excitement bubbling over as he eyed the sleek Aston Martin. He was eager, almost energetic, as he stepped toward the car.Just as he reached for the door handle, Mr. Hoffman called out, a hint of concern in his voice. “Can you drive, commander Hayes?” His gaze was steady, brows slightly furrowed.Gilbert paused, throwing a playful glance over his shoulder. ''Drive? I used to drive my ex-wife to work every day. So yeah, I think I’ve got this,'' he responded with a smirk and the right dose of sarcasm.Mr. Hoffman chuckled, his tension easing, while Gilbert slid into the driver’s seat, the thrill of his new life sparking in his eyes. Quickly pressing the key fob, the car engine roared to life, its powerful hum sending a rush of adrenaline through him. Gilbert chuckled heartily as he revved the engine hard, feeling the surge of control and satisfaction. This wasn’t just any car—

Gilbert sighed deeply, his head hung low as painful memories flooded his mind. He thought of the years of suffering—his mother’s illness, his sister’s struggles, and his own helplessness. And now, the revelation that he was the heir to the Hayes family. It all felt too overwhelming, and before he could stop himself, tears began to flow freely down his cheeks.Seeing the sudden breakdown, Mr. Hoffman stood up immediately and moved toward Gilbert, placing a firm hand on his shoulder. “Hey, it’s alright,” he reassured him. He sat down beside him, handing Gilbert a handkerchief, his actions deliberate, knowing this wasn’t the time for words. After a few moments, Mr. Hoffman opened up, ''We did everything we could to find you, Gilbert. It took us years because you were nearly impossible to track. It wasn’t until recently that we finally started getting real answers.''Gilbert wiped his face, his breathing still shaky. ''Why now? After all this time?''Mr. Hoffman exhaled deeply, looking a
