Heavens Fortune System A Deal with the Unknown
The heavy silence filled the room for a moment.“Sir, I’ll leave you to think about it. If you need me to intervene, I will, but if you say no, I promise to leave and never return,” Ethan said, his voice different from the nervous tone he usually spoke in.Mr. Caldwell stared at him in disbelief, as if he were seeing Ethan for the first time. Until now, he had only seen him as an ordinary young man—brilliant in accounting, but nothing more. However, at this moment, Ethan’s presence silenced even David and Lila, who had been using every opportunity to mock him.Contemplating his options, Mr. Caldwell finally spoke, his voice calm but laced with sarcasm. “Who really are you, Ethan?”Ethan opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. He couldn’t reveal his true identity—not yet. His mission required him to remain unnoticed, to let people believe he was still the same nobody they had always known. The disguise was easy to maintain; the only difference now was that he was no longer truly power
Heavens Fortune System Unseen Motives
As the car came to a stop, Mr. Caldwell stepped out, and the security personnel lined up in a straight formation, bowing their heads in greeting.“Welcome back, sir,” their voices echoed in unison.“Yeah…” Mr. Caldwell muttered, his gaze sweeping across the company grounds.Immediately, his expression darkened. “Why are there so few people at work?” He scanned the inside from where he stood, quickly realizing that more than half of the workforce was absent.Before the head of security could respond, the company’s manager hurried outside.“Good morning, sir,” he greeted, bowing his head.Mr. Caldwell ignored the formalities. “Where is everyone?” he asked, his voice laced with curiosity and frustration.Ethan followed closely behind, but his presence went unnoticed by the others.The manager hesitated before answering, choosing his words carefully. “Actually, these are the remaining employees who received at least a small tip. Most of the others left because they believed the company wo
Heavens Fortune System Unseen Threat
After several hours of locking himself in, cross-checking files and reviewing reports, Ethan finally leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply. His muscles ached from sitting too long, but his mind was restless.Suddenly, a familiar face surfaced in his thoughts.Sophia.“She must really be going through a lot wherever she is now,” he muttered, rubbing his temples. “I just wish she had tried to talk to me before making the decision to leave her family and run away. I would have helped her… Though, she probably didn’t think I could.” He scoffed bitterly. “Everyone still sees me as that poor Ethan Fallow.”His gaze drifted toward the sleek, customized black card resting on his desk—the one issued to him as the son of Harrington. A small smirk formed at the corner of his lips.“But now, there’s nothing I can’t handle. Even if it costs billions… I have the means to fix things.”He reached for a water bottle, taking a long sip before setting it down with a decisive thud.“I should be doing
Heavens Fortune System Whispers of Uncertainty
A few hours later, Jude and June arrived at the shop.As soon as they stepped inside, Elena quickly stood up and walked to them.“Did you guys find out who sent the potbellied man?” she asked curiously.“Not exactly,” Jude replied in a calm voice. “But according to what they confessed, the person who sent them is probably around here somewhere. He told them that he could see everything they were doing, but they didn’t believe him—until he described exactly what they were eating. That’s when they realized they were dealing with someone dangerous, someone who might be watching from nearby but is only using them as pawns.”“Sophia, can you describe the man you saw at this shop yesterday?” June asked as he sat down. “The Street Monkeys have their eyes on everything now. They promised to help us figure this out, so they’re sticking around to watch over us.”“I don’t know how well I can describe him, but I’ll try.” Sophia sighed before continuing. “But we need to be more careful this time.
Heavens Fortune System In Between
Elena searched the entire area late into the night, but after failing to find anything, she reluctantly returned home and went to her room.Hiding her curiosity, she reassured her mother that everything was fine.Midnight came, and Sophia still hadn’t returned. Exhausted from stress and worry, Elena eventually fell asleep.Much later, while Elena was asleep, Sophia entered quietly, taking careful steps to avoid making a sound. She slipped into her space and lay down as if nothing had happened.At the break of dawn, Elena woke up. It was already 5 a.m.—the usual time for them to start preparing orders.As she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she turned and, to her shock, saw Sophia in bed.Rushing over, she tapped her awake. “Sophia, where were you last night?” She paused as Sophia sat up, stretching her arms while trying to shake off sleep. “I was worried all night… Where did you go?”After a brief silence, Sophia muttered, “I went to find out something…”Elena frowned. “Find out what?
Heavens Fortune System A Battle for the Truth
After a few moments, Elisabeth decided to go to her uncle office in the hotel.As she walked through the lobby, every worker greeted her with the respect due to the CEO’s niece. She moved with deliberate steps, her posture exuding pride, but she ignored them all and headed straight for her uncle’s office.Without knocking, she pulled the door open and walked in.Her uncle barely glanced up, already knowing she was the only one who would enter his office so boldly.“Elisabeth, what is it?” he muttered before finally looking at her.She remained silent until she reached his desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down, her gaze locking onto his. When he simply smiled and returned his attention to his computer, she let out a sigh.“Can you just tell me the truth about that guy?” she asked quietly.Her uncle barely reacted. “Which guy?” he replied casually.“Ethan.” Her voice cracked slightly as she spoke his name.He looked up again, amusement flickering in his eyes. “What’s your interest in h
Heavens Fortune System Ten Days to Prove a Fortune
Mr. Caldwell stared at Ethan, confusion washing over him. He didn’t know what to do next. His face softened as he let out a deep sigh.“I’m done trusting people,” he muttered. “A friend of mine, who used to be my business partner, knows about James’s schemes. James sold my equipment to him—machines worth a fortune—at a ridiculously low price. And instead of questioning why I would sell something so valuable when I clearly needed them, he just bought them without a second thought. He never once asked himself what would make me sell such crucial assets without replacements.”Mr. Caldwell’s voice was softer now, tinged with disappointment.Ethan interrupted, his voice unwavering. “Sir, it’s fine if you don’t trust me. Since you don’t need my help, I’ll back out completely. I won’t interfere in your business again.”His words hit Mr. Caldwell like a blow. The older man looked up at him, searching Ethan’s eyes for any sign of hesitation. But there was none.Mr. Caldwell opened his mouth to
Heavens Fortune System The Edge of Exposure
“So, you really think you can fool me, huh? What a clever thought.” Mr. Caldwell smirked.He leaned forward and took a sip of the coffee on the table, trying to steady his pounding heart.“So tell me, what does the past of Caldwell Horizon mean to you? Why are you so determined to take on the challenge of getting $2 billion in ten days? There has to be more to it than what you’re telling me. And if you’re not honest, I can’t tell you anything either. If you think I’ve been hiding some secret, then be direct—tell me exactly what you want to know, and I’ll tell you how it all happened. I have no secrets from my past.” His words were deliberate, each one measured as he tried to maintain his calm demeanor.Ethan didn’t respond immediately. The breeze from the balcony swept through the room, but it did nothing to ease the tension that had settled in Mr. Caldwell’s chest.I’ve tried every strategy on this old man, but he still won’t open up… Ethan thought, his gaze fixed on the city beyond

Fall From Grass
Mr. Anderson, sensing the tension, turned to his manager. “We’ll sort this out later. This doesn’t concern Mr… um… Ethan here,” he said, patting Ethan’s back lightly.The manager hesitated but eventually nodded.With that, Ethan left.As they walked back inside, the secretary shot Mr. Anderson a curious glance. “Sir, what do you think is really going on with that woman? Why didn’t he want her to see him?”Mr. Anderson’s expression shifted instantly—his earlier amusement replaced by a sharp, unreadable look.Realizing she had overstepped, the secretary quickly dropped the subject, falling silent as they continued toward the elevator.The manager, however, lingered near the reception, watching Elizabeth. The moment she moved toward her car, he discreetly followed.Just as she was about to step inside, he spoke. “Hi.” His tone was light, paired with a casual smile to keep things non-threatening.Elizabeth halted, eyeing him from head to toe. The flicker of disinterest in her gaze told hi
Hidden Agendas
Just as Ethan was about to leave the meeting room, Mr. Anderson suddenly recalled the earlier incident.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, causing Ethan to pause and turn back briefly.“About what happened earlier… with my employee. I’d like to know the details so I can handle it properly,” he continued, his ever-present smile now subdued, his gaze serious.After a brief silence, Ethan finally spoke. “You should ask the receptionist about that. She’ll explain everything to your understanding. I can’t expose him just like that.” His tone was calm, carrying both maturity and politeness.Mr. Anderson nodded. “I see. That’s fine, sir. Thank you for doing business with us.” Then, after a short pause, he added, “If you don’t mind, I can have my driver take you to your destination in my car.”Despite being much older than Ethan, Mr. Anderson still treated him with unwavering respect.Observing this, the manager silently mused, Life is truly unpredictable.“Thanks for the offer,” Ethan replied, match
The Power Behind the Mask
His steps were quick and deliberate as he walked, weighed down by the humiliation of his downfall.He approached the woman at the table, but her fearful expression was gone. Now that all eyes were on him, she knew he wouldn’t dare try anything reckless.“You see what you caused?” he spat, his voice laced with anger.“What do you mean, what I caused?” she shot back, her voice steady.He hesitated, momentarily taken aback. It was the first time any of the workers had dared to talk back to him.“So now you really think you can stand up to me?” He let out a bitter laugh, frustration and anxiety clear in his expression.Biting his lip, he scanned the room, chuckled again, and turned on his heel, making his way to the manager’s office.Inside, Mr. Anderson and Ethan conversed like two billionaires of the same caliber. The smile on Mr. Anderson’s face and the respectful way he addressed Ethan left lingering questions in everyone’s minds.As they entered the office, Mr. Anderson gestured towa
Exposing Corruption
Mr. Anderson waved a hand in response to the greetings, a broad smile on his face as he stepped out of the elevator, his eyes scanning the lobby.The manager quickly approached him. “Sir, do you need anything?” he asked respectfully.“Ethan is here,” Mr. Anderson announced, still glancing around as if searching for something—or someone—who fit his expectations.The assistant manager stiffened. His brows furrowed as a troubling thought crossed his mind. Could it be… that man I just looked down on?But Mr. Anderson didn’t elaborate.“Oh, okay,” the manager responded hastily, then turned to the security team. “We’re expecting a very important guest right now. Everyone, prepare to give a warm welcome.” His gaze shifted toward the entrance, anticipating the arrival of a luxury car.Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson made his way through the hall, heading toward the reception desk where a young woman attended to visitors. His two towering bodyguards flanked him, and behind them, the assistant manager
The Power of Presence
As he was about to turn and leave, his gaze met Ethan’s. There was something in Ethan’s eyes—a silent warning.He quickly turned back to Ethan. “Hey, you… what do you want here?” he muttered in a rude tone, eyeing Ethan from head to toe.He knew that look. Ethan had heard everything.“What do you need?” he asked again, his voice sharper this time. But Ethan didn’t reply immediately.“I’m here to see Mr. Anderson,” Ethan finally said in a calm tone.The man let out a mocking laugh.“What? Really?” He turned back to the receptionist he had just been harassing. “Did you hear that?” he asked, pointing at Ethan.Ethan gently moved the man’s finger away, unfazed.The man’s expression darkened as he turned back to Ethan. “You bastard… who do you think you are?” he sneered.“Don’t point your fingers at me,” Ethan replied, his voice steady and his expression unreadable.The man let out a faint chuckle and locked eyes with Ethan. “What do you want with Mr. Anderson?”“That’s none of your busine
Corrupt Authority
At the Hotel Where Ethan StaysEthan woke up that morning and glanced at the clock—it was already 7 a.m. He rushed into the bathroom, brushed his teeth, and took a quick shower. After getting dressed, he looked no different from any ordinary man; nothing about his appearance suggested he had ever seen a million dollars in his life. Despite his rugged looks, he was undeniably handsome, with striking eyes that could draw attention. However, due to his poor appearance and social status, no woman wanted to be associated with him.After ordering breakfast from the hotel, he waited a few minutes until it was delivered. Once he finished eating, he stepped out of his room and walked down the hallway.As usual, some of the hotel staff snickered as he passed by.Gossip seemed to be their profession, and minding their own business was a sin they had no intention of committing.Rumors about him spread freely—some speculated that he was in a relationship with Elizabeth, which explained how he coul
A Night of Laughter and Healing
That Same Evening – At Sophia’s HideoutEarlier that evening, all their friends had left for the farm, leaving Sophia and Elena to take care of the shop.They had agreed to meet at the riverside at the usual time once they were done.As they locked up, Elena turned to Sophia with a concerned expression.“Sophia, do you think you can come to the riverside? I mean, you need to rest and take your medicine,” she said, handing her the medicine she had picked up from the pharmacy.Sophia moved sluggishly, her body weighed down by exhaustion. Despite how weak she felt, she still tried to act strong.“I’ll just go home to relax,” she muttered.“That would be nice,” Elena said with a small smile.She gently took Sophia’s hand and supported her as they made their way home.As soon as Elena’s mother saw them approaching, she stood up and rushed over, her face filled with worry.“What’s wrong? Sophia, are you okay? What happened?” she asked, her voice laced with concern as she fired off multiple
The Illusion of Obedience
“I’ll find the key and figure it out. Are you with me or not?” Lucas said, standing up, his expression tense.“Are you crazy?” Emily snapped. “Do you have any idea what would happen if he found out we even thought about peeking into that world? He’d destroy us. He’s never mentioned it, not even once, and I never dared to ask because I know it’s a secret.”Lucas narrowed his eyes. “You have to listen to me. You won’t succeed without me. I know what the key looks like, and I understand him better than you do. So let me decide when it happens.” Her voice was firm, but her eyes held a flicker of melancholy.Lucas stomped his foot , frustration radiating off him“Are you afraid of him? Huh?” He locked eyes with her, his tone accusatory.“He won’t even notice,” Lucas continued, his voice urgent. “We’ll plan everything. We’ll hire some guys to take out the guards the night we do it, and then we’ll disappear with everything.”Emily let out a sharp breath and straightened, her expression harde
Temptation of Fortune
Mr. Maxwell’s gaze remained unreadable.As they stepped out of the house, Lucas finally spoke. “Why would Dad send us back? Doesn’t he see it’s late? Can’t we just stay here?” His voice carried a mix of curiosity and frustration.Emily masked her disappointment with a forced smile. “He doesn’t want to be disturbed, so let him be. Once he’s done with his work, he’ll come around. Don’t worry,” she reassured him.They drove back home in silence.Later that night, in her bedroom, Emily sat on the edge of her bed, lost in thought.“Why is he acting so differently?” she muttered to herself. “The last time I stayed with him was… what, three years ago? He wasn’t like this back then.”A creeping sense of unease settled in her chest.“I need to act fast. He must have a plan… or maybe something’s going on that I don’t know about.” Her fingers tightened around the sheets.Then, a darker thought struck her.“Could it be that he thinks he has another child out there? That he plans to make someone e
