"Why are you sitting on that sofa? Do you think you deserve to sit there?!" Trisha reprimanded Joseph sternly."One more thing, please throw the glass you used in the trash! You used it, so no one else should drink from it. Because that glass is dirty!" Trisha said again. Joseph was still confused. But he stood up and threw the glass into the trash."Have you finished filling out the form?" Trisha sat in front of Joseph. Her tone of voice sounded impatient. Trisha was very upset now.Joseph was the person handpicked by Alvaro to work at this company. At first Trisha thought that Joseph had a good relationship with her boss. At least they have a good friendship. But apparently Trisha's guess was wrong. When Trisha went to Alvaro's office to ask, it turned out that Alvaro told her that Joseph was his love rival. Alvaro also told Trisha that Joseph had snatched his girlfriend.Trisha felt wronged because she was trying to please Joseph. Even thinking of sleeping with him!"It's done,"
"Get out of here! Or I'll call security to have you forcibly evicted!" the girl said, shooing Joseph away.Joseph said, "Go ahead and call security and kick me out, then I'll report it to Mr. Van. I was invited to dinner by him." Joseph's words took the girl by surprise. She was immediately afraid. He obviously knew who Mr. Van was. The girl was afraid of being fired from this restaurant so she immediately told Joseph where Xir's room was."Well. Xir room is located not far from here. You have to walk a few steps, then turn left. And the Xir room will be right in front of you. Xir room is the only room with a white door on the 20th floor," the girl explained. Then she ran off in a hurry.At that moment, inside the Xir room all the food was ready on the long table. The table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes. The fragrant smell of the dishes filled the air, it was so tantalizing that it made people hold back from drooling.Both sides of the long table were filled with rows of
"Mr. Joseph, please get in!" Osser opened the car door for Joseph and asked him to get into the luxury car very politely."Young Master, be careful on the road!" Mr. Van, Gawali, and several other members saluted simultaneously as Joseph got into the car. Then, Mr. Van's Porsche 911, driven by his assistant, drove off to take Joseph home.The comfort level of the Porsche 911 was beyond measure. Joseph felt like he was sitting on a cloud, the car was very stable even when shaken. The interior of this car was all made using kuliy materials, beautiful woods, and various types of metals. "Luxury car are indeed very comfortable!" Joseph admired silently. Suddenly Joseph's cell phone rang. When he opened his cell phone screen, it was a call from Jenny, his sister-in-law."Hello, Jenny? "Joseph answered her phone."Joseph, you useless person! Don't you have the slightest sense of filial piety?" Jenny was furious. Jenny said again, still cursing Joseph, "Father is sick, but you don't care a
"He doesn't deserve to ride in a fancy car?" Osser, who was driving, pursed his lips in displeasure. He was annoyed at what Jenny and Lucky had said to Joseph on the phone. Osser heard it because Joseph turned up the volume on his phone call. "Young master, are they your family? Why are they so rude to you? Don't they know that you can even afford dozens of luxury cars?" Osser was already angry. In fact, he wanted to immediately take over Joseph's cell phone and speak to Jenny or Lucky to tell them how rich Joseph was.But Joseph raised his hand to signal Osser not to do that."I'll be there in a minute," Joseph told Lucky."Ok. I'm so hungry, you should come here with food or fruits," Lucky said again.Joseph frowned. He was too lazy to argue, so he replied, "Ok."After the call ended, Joseph asked Osser to drive him to Rose Hospital. When they were almost at the luxurious hospital, Joseph said to Osse, "Just stop here, Osser. I'll walk across and get in there."The Porsche 911 was
"It's good that you admit your mistake." Mr. Barta said, then continued his words again. "Look at Lucky, he gave me a gift because I made it through the surgery." Mr. Barta pointed to the nightstand next to him, where there was a medium-sized totebag. It was a gift from Lucky."And you didn't bring anything here, right?" Mr. Barta snorted in annoyance and looked at Joseph sarcastically. Joseph shook his head briefly, "No, Daddy. I came here to bring you a present too." Joseph placed the box containing the seafood given by Mr. Van on the nightstand next to his father-in-law."What is this?" Mr. Barta looked at the box with a puzzled expression on his face. "This is seafood. It is highly nutritious, and if eaten by people who are sick or after surgery, it can help them recover quickly," Joseph explained. "Seafood? So, this is all you can give me? You know, even I can afford seafood!" replied Mr. Barta. The look in his eyes was frightening.Then, Mr. Barta asked Jenny to open the box
Doctor Liam approached the trash bin and picked up the discarded seafood box. "It was a gift from my second son-in-law. But I didn't like it. So I threw it away." Mr. Barta told Doctor Liam. Although he laughed, in his heart he was very angry and upset with Joseph. Because Mr. Barta felt embarrassed to be given seafood. According to him, the useless Joseph had embarrassed him in front of Doctor Liam."Hmm...Mr. Barta, may I take this box and check the contents inside?" asked Doctor Liam. He felt familiar with the contents, because he knew the box came from Lux Restaurant. "Of course," replied Mr. Barta. He was stunned for a moment.Doctor Liam quickly retrieved the box from the trash bin. Then he opened the box. He examined the seafood there carefully. Then Doctor Liam's face showed an admiring expression. And he caught his breath. "Hmm..Mr. Barta, why is this being thrown away? This is very precious." Doctor Liam said to Mr. Barta.Mr. Barta, Lucky, and Jenny were surprised after
"Joseph looks a lot like Mr. Guezz. Is he Mr. Guezz's son?" Doctor Liam wondered in his heart. Doctor Liam looked at Joseph intently."Mr. Barta, I still have some patients to visit. Please excuse me to go out first," Doctor Liam said with a smile to Mr. Barta."Okay, Doctor Liam. Thank you for your visit and for taking care of me!" Mr. Barta smiled.After making sure Doctor Liam left the room, Jenny looked at Joseph with a sharp gaze. Then she said to interrogate Joseph, "Joseph, you are really too much! You're so sneaky that you want to beat my husband!"But Joseph didn't care about his sister-in-law's words, he ignored Jenny. And he approached Mr. Barta and opened the box of expensive seafood. " Dad, after hearing the explanation from Doctor Liam, do you want to eat this?" Joseph asked, pointing at the seafood. Mr. Barta glanced at Joseph, and finally he nodded with a flat expression. "Well."Mr. Barta was finally willing to eat the seafood given to him by Joseph after hearing its
Joseph turned to the person who had just called his name loud and clear. He saw Trisha walking from the reception desk to approach him.Trisha was dressed in black formal wear and had stockings on her legs and heavy makeup on her face. At this moment, she was looking at Joseph with a sardonic gaze."Joseph, you came late on your first day of work. Then your attendance pay will be deducted! Hurry up and sign this paper!" said Trisha. Apparently she had been waiting for Joseph's presence, and counted Joseph's tardiness even if it was only one minute. Trisha handed over a paper agreement for Joseph's salary deduction due to his lateness. Joseph was surprised. "Doesn't work start at 8am? I'm not late, but on time. It's 8 o'clock right now.""8am? Who told you that?!" Trisha looked at Joseph sarcastically. "It is written in the rules of the employment contract that I signed yesterday, that working hours will start from 8am to 5pm," Joseph replied. He had read through the entire employme
In the Hospital Corridor The hospital corridor felt eerily quiet, though the sound of medical staff's footsteps and the occasional beeping of machines broke the silence. Joseph sat on a long bench, gripping his phone tightly, his mind wandering far. Occasionally, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself. Mr. Barta patted his son-in-law’s shoulder. "Katty is a strong woman. Trust me, she’ll be fine." Before Joseph could respond, the cry of a baby suddenly echoed from the operating room. He immediately stood up, his face filled with happiness. The operating room door opened, and a doctor stepped out, removing their mask. "Mr. Joseph?" the doctor called. "Yes, Doctor?" "Congratulations, Mr. Joseph. Your son has been born." Those words made Joseph feel like a great weight had been lifted from him. He couldn’t contain his wide smile. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" Mr. Barta raised his hands in the air. "My grandson!" he cheered. Ten minutes later, Joseph w
Then.... The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air! Joseph stood motionless, calmly waiting amidst the chaos. Heavy footsteps reverberated across the room. Members of the G Alliance emerged from the front door, their rifles still warm from their shots. They had taken down all of Ramond’s soldiers with flawless precision, moving like machines devoid of mercy. The G Alliance members had long trained to shoot in complete darkness, even with their eyes closed. This level of skill now allowed them to dominate their enemies despite the pitch-black conditions. “Turn on the lights,” Joseph ordered curtly, his voice authoritative. Ultra-bright flashlights snapped on, instantly illuminating the room. The light revealed a gruesome scene: twenty of Ramond’s soldiers lay lifeless on the floor, their blood pooling beneath them. The stench of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the air, causing Ramond to cough as he scanned the horrifying aftermath with fear and rage. “You…” Ram
Jennifer stood frozen in place, her body trembling, her once graceful face now etched with frustration and despair. Slowly, her hand moved to the folds of her dress, drawing out a small pistol that gleamed under the dim light. All eyes locked onto her—Joseph remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice, while Ramond sneered with a smug grin, full of disdain and mockery. Zako, usually quick to act, now watching with a mix of anxiety and helplessness. Jennifer raised the pistol to her head, her hand shaking uncontrollably. "This is all my fault..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but no one moved to stop her. She lifted her head slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Joseph's. Yet, there was no response from her son—no empathy, no hesitation, just a chilling, unyielding silence. Jennifer’s gaze grew vacant. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and without warning, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence. Her body crumpled t
The dim light from the chandelier cast sharp shadows across Joseph’s cold face. His eyes scanned the room sharply, observing each person within it. Jacky tried to speak, but no sound escaped his lips. He was barely hanging on, his life slipping away. Joseph glanced briefly at Jacky before redirecting his focus to the three figures before him. Jennifer abruptly stood, clutching a nearly empty wine glass in her trembling hand. Her face was pale, and though she tried to mask her nerves, her shaking fingers betrayed her unease. Ramond, in contrast, lounged casually in his chair, legs crossed as if there were nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Zako appeared far more alert, his eyes darting between Joseph and the exit. “So,” Joseph’s deep, cold voice shattered the silence, “I come here and find myself... entertained by quite the show.” Jennifer quickly drank the rest of her wine, trying to steady herself. But as Joseph’s gaze locked onto hers, she froze. The woman, typically full
The room was dark and empty. Only the sound of Jacky’s footsteps echoed, filling the oppressive silence. His eyes scanned every corner, his pistol aimed forward, ready for any threat. But there was nothing—no Ramond, no Jennifer, no Zako. Only the cold air brushing against his skin like an invisible menace.Jacky growled, kicking over an old wooden chair that lay in the middle of the room. “Damn it! They escaped!” he yelled, his anger burning hot. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady the frustration boiling inside him. But before he could plan his next move, something unexpected happened.Out of nowhere, a coarse cloth wrapped tightly around his face. Someone yanked a bag over his head, cutting off his vision entirely.Jacky struggled, punching and thrashing, but his attacker was strong. Two firm hands restrained him with precision. Within seconds, he was forced into a chair, his body tied down with ropes that quickly bound his wrists and ankles.“Who are you?!” Jacky shouted, his
In the basement...The damp atmosphere clung to the space, making the air feel oppressively heavy.At the center of the room stood an old wooden table strewn with papers and maps. In one corner, Ramond sat on a worn-out chair, dressed in a faded shirt. Despite his simple appearance, his chilling aura remained unmistakable.The creaking of the wooden door broke the silence. Jennifer appeared, carrying two large bags filled with food supplies and water bottles. Her once-elegant dress now looked slightly disheveled, as if the long journey to this hidden place had drained her energy."Ramond," she said softly, lowering the bags onto the floor. "I brought food and necessities to last you a few days. I hope it’s enough."Ramond lifted his head, a faint smile forming on his lips—a smile that was both calming and enigmatic. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro
Ramond was a name well-known among the global elite, not only for his ruthlessness but also for his uncanny ability to manipulate. However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles. Jennifer even elevated him to the position of leader of the global elite, ensuring that all resources were at his disposal. Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo
Joseph stood abruptly and said nothing. He cast a cold glance at his mother before turning and walking away. His firm steps echoed as he exited the grand mansion, with Gawali silently following close behind. The tense atmosphere was palpable, yet not a word was spoken between them until both Joseph and Gawali were inside the sleek black car. Once the car door shut, Joseph leaned back, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face. Gawali, seated in the driver’s seat, finally broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Sir, should I contact Interpol immediately? If Ramond is truly involved in your grandfather’s death, we can make him an international fugitive.”“No need,” Joseph interrupted, his tone decisive. “I’ll find him myself. I’ll deal with him personally. No one else is allowed to interfere until I’m satisfied.”Gawali gave a slight nod, understanding it wasn’t the time to argue.Joseph added, “Contact Jacky.”“Tell him to prepare the team. I need them ready for my next orders
The grand mansion was silent, with only the sound of Joseph and Gawali's footsteps echoing against the marble floors.Joseph stepped into the vast living room, its high ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers.At the center of the room stood a golden sofa, strikingly prominent amidst the luxurious Persian carpet surrounding it.Joseph’s eyes immediately caught the figure of a woman standing near the large window. Jennifer, draped elegantly in white satin pajamas, stood poised as she gazed out. Her neatly combed hair reflected the faint light from the chandelier, and her face remained expressionless as usual.Joseph exhaled deeply, throwing himself onto the golden sofa with a casual yet calculated demeanor. He crossed one leg over his knee and stared at his mother with a mocking gaze.“So, my mom is still the same as ever,” he said sharply. “will awake when hear commotion.”Jennifer turned slowly, her expression betraying no reaction to his jab. With measured grace, she app
