"Okay, enough! You'd better shut your mouth, Joseph! See, I got a good laugh out of that nonsensical remark of yours. You better think about where else you're going to apply for a job. You don't have to be pretentious and say you'll pay 300 million dollars. You won't be able to afford it! Hahahaha!" Lucky laughed again.
After that, Lucky immediately went to the administration to request that his father-in-law be moved to the VVIP room. However, there seemed to be some problems that made it difficult for Lucky's wish to be granted.
"Sorry, Sir. We have our own rules. We cannot move a patient to the VVIP room because the patient must be treated for at least three days first. Mr. Barta has just entered the hospital, we can't move him to the VVIP room right away." An administrative assistant refused Lucky's request to move Mr. Barta to the VVIP room immediately. The administrative assistant said that they have their own rules. If you want a patient to be moved to the VVIP room, then at least the patient must be treated for at least three days.
But did Lucky have to wait that long for his father-in-law to be moved? Oh, no. Lucky wouldn't want to wait. He had to find a way so that his title as the ideal son-in-law that his father-in-law was proud of would not fade just because he let Mr. Barta rest in an ordinary room.
"Why, Honey? Why does your face look upset?" asked Jenny.
When Lucky returned, the man began to tell him what had happened in the administration room earlier. Jenny who heard that immediately clenched her hands. She didn't accept the reason given.
"What, just because of that?!" Jenny said, only to be nodded at by Lucky.
All the Smith members except Katty and Joseph looked upset when they heard it. They felt that their pride was at stake.
"Honey, did you say that we can pay whatever it takes to get daddy moved to the VVIP room? We can pay a lot for that."
Lucky shook his head at his wife's question. It was true, he had said that to the administrative assistant earlier. But, unfortunately, his words were rejected for this reason. "Sorry, Sir. Even though you paid a lot of money, we still can't give you what you want. Please follow the hospital's procedures."
Lucky hardened his jaw when he remembered the answer he heard. Is paying a high price not enough? What kind of rule is that? Lucky, Jenny, and the rest of the Smith family were instantly upset.
"Damn it! On what basis can you only be moved to the VVIP room after three days of treatment? Daddy's going to be sick if he's left in this ordinary room for too long." Jenny pursed her lips. She began to plead with her husband that Lucky could find a way to deal with this problem.
"Honey, do you have any ideas?" Jenny asked.
"One minute, I'll call the director of this hospital. I'll ask Mr. Gawali to move daddy to the VVIP room like we want," said Lucky. He pulled out his cell phone from his pants pocket.
"Ah, yes. Call him quickly, Honey!" There was a twinkle of happiness in Jenny's eyes. She was proud that her husband could be inducted. Unlike her sister-in-law.
"Sorry to disturb Mr. Gawali. I'm Lucky, the eldest son-in-law of the Smith family. My father-in-law is being treated at Rose Hospital. We asked the staff to move our father to the VVIP room, but they wouldn't allow it. The reason is that he has to be admitted for three days first in order to be moved to that room. Mr. Gawali, can you ask your workers to let my father-in-law be moved to the VVIP room?"
Lucky carefully asked the Gawali on the other side. He hoped that doing this would get him permission. However, it looked like Lucky and Jenny would be disappointed. Gawali didn't seem to approve of their wishes.
"Sorry, Mr. Lucky. No matter what family you're from, I still have my own rules about my hospital. If you want your family member to be moved to the VVIP room, then you must do so in accordance with the applicable procedures.
Lucky clenched his fists again. He was upset that even Mr. Gawali was not willing to work with him. Did they not have enough money?
"Mr. Gawali, wait a minute! Can't you make some concessions. I can pay more for it. So, I beg you to let my father-in-law be moved to the VVIP room." Lucky was still trying to convince Gawali. However, instead of sympathizing, Mr. Gawali became even more annoyed with him.
"Lucky, let me talk to Mr. Gawali. Maybe he'll let me," Joseph said.
"Huh? Seriously, what status are you going to talk to him with? As a poor son-in-law who's a pain in the ass to his wife?" said Jenny.
Katty looked upset when she heard that. However, because Joseph asked her not to get angry easily, Katty had to temper her emotions in the end.
"Here, speak up! Do not expect him to grant your wish. You don't even have the status to talk to him," Lucky said. Even though he was ranting, Lucky finally gave his cell phone to Joseph.
Joseph, who saw it, immediately smiled slightly. Without needing to say much, just two words, "Joseph Guezz," Gawali who was on the other side of the phone was instantly moved. The man seemed to tremble slightly when he heard those two words.
"Y-young master?"
"Do you know what to do now?" Joseph asked Gawali.
"Take it easy, Young Master. I will immediately move Mr. Smith to the VVIP room you want."
"Good. Don't be long!"
Upon hearing that Joseph immediately hung up the phone. He started walking towards Lucky and returned Lucky's cell phone.
"Everything is in order. Daddy will soon be moved to the VVIP room as you wish."
"WHAT?!" There was a thunderous screech. The Smith family members were stunned when they heard Joseph's words.
"Wait! How can you convince Mr. Gawali? You're just a poor man? Even I couldn't convince him. What can you convince him with?" asked Lucky curiously.
Joseph smiled sarcastically when he saw Lucky's protest. He wanted to tell the truth, but it didn't seem like the right time. Moreover, the one who was lying down was his father-in-law. If Joseph told his identity, Lucky would faint and be treated like his father-in-law, Barta Smith." You guys don't need to know that. What is clear is that daddy will be moved to the VVIP room as soon as you want." With his tone of voice looking more stern, Joseph said that. Lucky was shocked by Joseph's words. He acted like a young master from a rich family. "Joseph, tell me quickly! What is your relationship with Mr. Gawali? How could he give you permission so easily? You must be related to him, right? He's the director of this hospital, he can't possibly know you!" said Lucky. He felt unacceptable.Joseph smiled when he heard that. "No. I don't have any relationship with him," Joseph lied. This was not the time for him to reveal that he was actually a young master from the Guezz family. An extre
Joseph who heard that was immediately petrified. His heart didn't want to admit this truth. It had been a long time since he had seen his father, but his father had already passed away. He should have met his father first."It's okay, Uncle. When it comes to death, no one knows," Joseph comforted Mr. Gawali. It was obvious that the man had lost his boss. So, now that he saw Joseph, he felt that Mr. Guezz had returned in a younger version. The man was determined not to leave Joseph. Together with Joseph, he would manage all the assets of the Guezz family."Young Master, please. I will take you to the bank. I will take care of transferring all the ownership of Mr. Guezz's assets to you. You are now entitled to take over."Joseph who heard that immediately nodded. He started to get up from his seat and walked after Mr. Gawali from the side. Mr. Gawali looked at Joseph every now and then, which made his employer's son wonder."Uncle, what's wrong, why do you keep looking at me? I look str
"WHAT?" Instantly, the shrieks of the householders could be heard. The people who were unhappy with Joseph's happiness were stunned. They were not happy to hear that. It left them with nothing to insult Joseph with anymore."Honey, are you serious?" asked Katty with a beaming face. Finally, after all this time, her husband got a job too. She was happy because from now on he wouldn't be insulted by her family anymore.However, it seemed like Katty was too happy to let Joseph continue. After Joseph did so, the sound of laughter could be heard throughout the house. They were extremely pleased with Joseph's explanation. They immediately looked down at the man and laughed at him."Yes. Mr. Gawali gave me a job as a cleaning service in his office," Joseph added."Hahaha! Cleaning service? Hahahaha." The sound of derisive laughter rang in both Katty and Joseph's ears. Katty, who heard her husband's explanation, was shocked. Katty wondered what kind of job her husband had gotten. However, in
2 hours later, all the Smith family gathered in the hospital hall to see Mr. Barta, who was reported to have regained consciousness. The doctor said that Mr. Barta was ready to be visited in his room. So, the Smith family waited for that moment. They were very happy that Mr. Smirth had finally undergone successful surgery and regained consciousness quickly. "It's all because of Lucky. You are a very rich and reliable son-in-law of the Smith family. Unlike Joseph who paid for his father-in-law's hospital fees with gambling winnings. How rude of him!" said Uncle Patrick. And the rest of the Smith family joined in praising Lucky, and they also undermined Joseph's self-esteem.2 hours ago when Lucky found out that it was Joseph who paid for his father-in-law's surgery, Lucky interrogated him and asked him where he got the money from. Lucky accused Joseph of stealing. But Joseph claimed that he got the money from winning gambling. Immediately Lucky told all the Smith family that Joseph wa
"That's right! Lucky has so much money that he can afford to move Mr. Barta to this nicer room." Uncle Patrick praised Lucky excessively. "Is this a VIP room?" Mr. Barta just realized that the room he was currently in was a VIP room, because there were many adequate facilities, and also the interior of the room was modern and comfortable. "That's right, Daddy. This is the VIP room, and you can get in here because of my husband's help," Jenny replied. Then Jenny explained everything. She also explained how despicable Joseph was for not being able to help his father-in-law financially. Jenny even complained to Mr. Barta that the money Joseph was getting to try and help his father-in-law was gambling money. After listening to all that, Mr. Barta was silent for a while. Then he suddenly looked at Joseph with a sneer. "Haha. But I didn't expect that a useless son-in-law like you could still try to play gambling to earn money for me. But, you're still my worst ethical son-in-law. Not on
"Okay!" Alvaro replied. His face was filled with disappointment. He asked again, "Do you want to go home? Why don't I take you home?" Alvaro made an offer to Joseph and Katty. Alvaro looked at the passenger seat next to him, then looked at Katty, and ignored Joseph. It was clear from the look in his eyes that Alvaro wanted Katty to sit next to him. "No need! The taxi will be here soon." Katty refused, she quickly moved to walk with her husband to the side of the road and waved for a taxi. A taxi pulled up. "Taxi? Katty, you're so beautiful that you don't deserve a taxi!" Alvaro said. The man frowned, then squinted at Joseph. "Katty, I can't believe your husband doesn't own a car. You must be having a hard time after marrying a poor man like him. In my opinion, you're better off divorcing this useless person. Because, I still love you too, Katty...""Alvaro! This is my personal business. You don't have to take care of it!" Katty's face turned very cold. She spoke without expression.
"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
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
