David went to call the doctor. “The patient is awake now,” David informed him. The doctor quickly stood up and followed him to the room.As he entered, he approached Mr. Caldwell. “Good morning, sir. How are you feeling now?” he asked calmly.Reluctantly, Mr. Caldwell replied, “I’m just feeling a headache and a bit weak.”“Alright, you should just relax. They’ll get you something to eat. For now, you need more rest than ever before. Your life is what matters most now,” the doctor said.A moment later, Ethan walked into the hospital. He approached the nurse and asked, “I’m here to see Mr. Caldwell.”The nurse called to confirm if he should be allowed in. David picked up the call and said, “He can come in.”The nurse directed Ethan to the room where Mr. Caldwell was.As Ethan entered, his face shifted to one of concern. “What’s going on?” he asked curiously.David stared at Ethan with disgust. “So this is the person you think can manage your company for you?” David said with a scornful
Heavens Fortune System A Friend’s Burden
After waiting for more than an hour, a doctor finally approached Ethan, who was still seated, hoping to continue his conversation with Mr. Caldwell.“Sir, you can go for now. Mr. Caldwell needs to rest. He should be better by tomorrow and may even be discharged then,” the doctor said in a clear, professional tone.“Okay, thank you very much,” Ethan replied as he stood and left the hospital.Returning to the hotel, Ethan walked directly to his room, avoiding any unnecessary conversations. He only responded to greetings with a curt nod, as most people in the hotel tended to look down on him. His appearance was even worse than some of the cleaners working there, but Ethan didn’t care. He was no longer the hopeless man he once was. Knowing his true identity—that he was the son of one of the wealthiest men—gave him quiet confidence. Instead of letting insults bother him, Ethan would just smile and move on.As he approached his room, he felt someone grab his attention from behind.“Hey, did

Graham’s voice was light and deliberate. “The street monkeys are known as thugs and bad guys. But the truth is, they’re more pure than the politicians themselves.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over the group.“The reason the police are always after the street monkeys isn’t because they’ve done bad things. Sure, some members do bad things on their own, but when the leader finds out, those people are dealt with. They don’t take bribes or stoop to corruption. They’re just a group of people who choose a free life.”He leaned forward slightly, his voice lower but firm. “Politicians, on the other hand, try to pay them off to do their dirty work. But when the street monkeys reject their offers and expose them, that’s when the politicians turn against them.”“So what’s the point now?” June interrupted, their expression skeptical.Graham paused briefly before continuing. “If you’re suspecting they’re working for someone, it means they might’ve taken a bribe. That’s something we can use against
Heavens Fortune System A Kiss of Conviction
“What are you thinking?” Elisabeth’s voice snapped Ethan out of his thoughts.“Why do you insist on bringing me here?” Ethan asked, his tone serious as his gaze remained fixed on Paul, seated alone a few tables away.“Just to apologize for the way I treated you yesterday,” she replied, her expression soft.Ethan’s eyes darted back to Paul, his brows furrowed. “What’s wrong?” Elisabeth asked, curiosity etched on her face.“Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry,” Ethan replied quickly, lowering his head as the waiter arrived with their order.The waiter placed the dishes gently on the table, and Elisabeth flashed a grin. “Mmm… you’ve got good taste.”“Haha… it was just a random pick,” Ethan said, attempting to ease the tension. His thoughts raced as he glanced toward Paul. At least he can’t see my face from where he’s sitting.“Let’s eat, then,” Elisabeth said, lifting a spoon. She leaned forward, offering it to Ethan.He hesitated, wanting to refuse, but the laughter from nearby tables made hi

As Elisabeth continued explaining what she had overheard and seen in the file, she suddenly stopped mid-sentence.Ethan turned his head toward her, puzzled. “What?” he asked, his gaze meeting hers.Elisabeth was smiling, her eyes fixed on him.“Hmm… nothing,” she replied with a teasing smile, then turned to stare out the window.“How much was the meal?” she asked after a brief pause, her tone neutral, though her expression was unreadable.Ethan hesitated, clearing his throat before responding. “Uh… yeah, about that. It was $5,000,” he said awkwardly, avoiding her gaze.“Okay,” Elisabeth replied, her lips curling into a sly grin. “I won’t ask how you managed to pay that, especially since you act like a poor guy,” she added, laughing softly.Ethan opened his mouth to defend himself, but his phone buzzed before he could speak. It was a call from Mr. Caldwell.“Hello, sir,” Ethan answered politely.“Hey, Ethan. I’m home now,” Mr. Caldwell said, his voice still slightly weak but much impro
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
Heavens Fortune System Humiliation Apology
“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

The Looming Shadow
The Next MorningSophia and Elena woke up early, the dim light of dawn casting long shadows across their modest shop. Today felt different—not just because of their bustling workload, but because they were taking a big step forward in managing their growing business. A rented truck now stood outside, ready to handle the increasing demand that had surpassed what they could manage on their bicycles.“Sophia,” Elena began, her voice breaking the silence as they loaded packages into the truck. Her tone was heartfelt, and her words came with a mix of gratitude and awe. “I just want to say… thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my family. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to repay your kindness.”Sophia paused momentarily but didn’t look up, allowing Elena to continue. “When I checked the sales account last night, I could hardly believe my eyes. We made more yesterday than we’ve earned in six months combined. That’s because of you—your dedication, your genius ideas, and your hard
Fragile Threads of Threat
That evening, as Mr. Caldwell settled on his bed, preparing to sleep, he sighed deeply.“At least Greyson’s threat feels a bit further from me for now. I can figure out how to get John’s equipment. He might consider the help I once gave him, which made him wealthy today. Though it’s no excuse to delay the contract… I’ll try my best,” Mr. Caldwell muttered as sleep began to overtake him.Just as his eyes started to close, the sharp ringing of his phone jolted him awake. At first, he thought it was part of a dream, but when the phone rang again, he realized it was real.Glancing at the screen, he froze. It was Greyson.His heart skipped a beat as he quickly sat up. What could he possibly want now? I hope he doesn’t still expect us to be friends after trying to force my daughter to marry his unstable son, Alex. He’s probably why Sophia ran away.Taking a deep breath, Mr. Caldwell answered.“Hello?” His voice was cautious.“Caldwell, you’re not done paying the debt you owe me,” Greyson sa
Uncertainty and Tension
Meanwhile, Sophia and Elena were at the shop, busy with their usual routines.Suddenly, a man entered, his movements deliberate yet unsettling as he wandered aimlessly, as though searching for something.“What do you want?” Elena asked calmly, her voice steady despite the growing unease in the air.The man remained silent, offering no response.“Sir, what do you want to buy?” Elena pressed, her patience wearing thin.Sophia glanced up, alerted by Elena’s tone, and focused on the man. His odd smile and the way his fingers dragged across the surfaces as he walked heightened the tension.Elena, now visibly frustrated, said firmly, “Sir, if you don’t leave right now, I’ll call the police.”Sophia stood up, concern evident in her voice. “What’s going on?”“I don’t know who he is,” Elena replied, exasperated. “He came in, started wandering around, and hasn’t said a word.”Sophia’s stomach churned when the man turned, revealing a tattoo on his neck—one she instantly recognized. It was the sa
Into the Tangled Path
Ethan pulled out his phone and dialed Mr. Caldwell’s number. He listened as the phone rang, and after a moment, Mr. Caldwell picked up.“Hello?” Mr. Caldwell’s cold voice came through the line.“Sir, I’m at your house now,” Ethan said politely.“Alright, hold on. Someone will open the door,” Mr. Caldwell replied curtly before ending the call. He called out to Lila, “Open the door. I have a guest.” His commanding tone left no room for argument.Lila walked to the door and opened it. Seeing Ethan, she froze in disbelief. “It’s you… What…” she muttered, leaving the door ajar before walking back to the couch.Ethan stepped inside and approached the living room slowly. Just as he was about to sit down, Lila’s mocking voice cut through the air. “Don’t stain the white couch with your dirty clothes.”Ethan met her gaze but said nothing, simply nodding as he remained standing. Moments later, Mr. Caldwell emerged from his room.“Ethan, why aren’t you sitting? Come here,” Mr. Caldwell said warml
