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

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 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.

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.

Heavens Fortune System The Broken Path:
Ethan’s heart grew bitter as he watched the sun set and darkness fall. His mind was restless, as every night he had to sleep in an abandoned building with no doors. He wants to hurry up and get back to his little room, where he was temporarily staying. He had been delayed at work because some equipment needed repairs, and as the cleaner, he was required to stay and clean up the mess. He was saving up to get a better one-room apartment in a normal area, once his savings were sufficient. By the time he reached the old, abandoned house where he resided, it was already 1:45 a.m. After a long day at work, he still had to walk nearly two hours to get there. As he approached the old house, he noticed bright lights shining from within. His heart raced as he walked toward the building. When he got closer, he saw his tattered bags and small bed lying outside. Panicking, Ethan rushed to check his briefcase, where he had been saving his money, but it was nowhere to be found. To his shock, th
Heavens Fortune System A Day of Humiliation and Hope
Ethan quickly bowed his head and thanked her for the lift. All the other workers, who had been looking down on him and mocking him for being the poorest among them, were stunned as they watched him step down from the car belonging to Sophia Caldwell, the youngest daughter of the man who owned the company. “Here, take my card. If you need anything in the future, just call or text me,” Sophia said, pulling a sleek business card from her handbag. She handed it to Ethan as she prepared to leave. Ethan hesitated, then cleared his throat and said, “Actually… I don’t have a phone to text or make calls, but thank you. I’ll keep it.” He slid the card into his trouser pocket. Despite his shabby appearance, Sophia treated him kindly, like an equal—unlike his colleagues, who despised and mocked him for his struggles.. “I’ll come by this afternoon,” Sophia said after a moment, studying him thoughtfully. “I’ll bring you a phone so you can reach out if you ever need help.” Ethan’s eyes widened

“I just need you to sign a contract with me,” Sophia explained, her gaze firmly fixed on Ethan. “My dad isn’t in good health, and he’s asked me to find a husband he can trust to manage his properties. I’m not ready for marriage, nor do I want the properties, but since it’s his wish, I have to take care of these things. That’s why I want us to get married.”Ethan frowned, his confusion evident. “So, that’s your plan? We just met today, and the first thing you think of is marriage? I don’t understand. Do you want James to come after me? Look, I get that your dad is pressuring you, but I’m not ready for marriage either. I can’t fake a relationship—let alone a marriage. I’m sorry, but if this is why you brought me here, I’d rather leave.” He stood abruptly, his frustration clear.Sophia remained calm. “I only asked a question, Ethan. You’re free to say no. And, for the record, this has nothing to do with me bringing you here. It just crossed my mind, so I asked. That’s all. Sit down; it’s

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

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
