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 strange?"
Joseph, who was already in the car, was a little overthinking when he saw the look Mr. Gawali was giving him.
"No, Young Master. I'm just a little curious. Why did you signal me to look unfamiliar to you at the Smith family home? Did I do something wrong that you would be ashamed to recognize me in front of your own family?"
Joseph, who heard that, immediately let out his breath in resignation. Thinking about it, his heart felt very tight.
"It's not like that, Uncle. All the members of the Smith family have always insulted me. They think I'm useless and a burden to my wife. Actually, what they say is true. I can hardly find a job. I haven't even given her a wedding present yet. It was only yesterday that I was able to give her a gift, even after my card was accessed, Joseph explained.
Mr. Gawali, who heard this, was annoyed. How could Joseph, who had always lived in wealth, now be insulted by his wife's family? They had all gone too far.
"So, what's your wife's response, Young Master?" asked Mr. Gawali curiously.
"She has always defended me. Even for that she always fought her family members. I'm glad she can still accept me for who I am. I promise, I won't leave her."
Mr. Gawali smiled at that. He could see Katty's sincerity towards Joseph. He could see the happy look on Joseph's face as he talked about his wife. Although Joseph was now sitting in the back, but at least the man could see his boss's son's expression from the mirror above his head.
"That's good then. Now follow me into the bank. We'll take care of all matters concerning Mr. Guezz's ownership rights. You should take over immediately so that you can take revenge on your wife's family," Mr. Gawali said.
Joseph smiled at that. He was glad that Mr. Gawali was on the same page as him. However, this was not the right time. So, Joseph let the Smith family have their fun first. He would not tell his identity directly.
"Uncle, I ask that you keep it a secret from my wife's family first. Let them insult me all they want. When the time is right, I will repay them all."
"Yes, Young Master. Go ahead."
Joseph nodded and began to enter the bank that Mr. Gawali had designated. Now the man was taken to a special place. There he took care of everything regarding his family's assets. There was a lot to take care of because the Guezz family had a lot of assets. However, Joseph and Mr. Gawali faithfully followed the procedure to the end.
"Wow, I just found out that my daddy is this rich. A property company with hundreds of branches around the world, as well as three major hospitals in this city. Why did I only find out now? If it was a long time ago, I would have silenced those people with all the assets I have now. But good thing too, I'll get back at them slowly," Joseph said.
Joseph shook his head as he exited the bank he had entered earlier. The man was shocked when he found out about the amount of assets he had now. No wonder he used to live in luxury, it turned out that the Guezz family was very rich.
"Congratulations, Young Master. Finally I no longer need to look after all these assets by myself. I'm sure you'll be able to manage them well in the future. I trust you," said Mr. Gawali.
Joseph put his hand on Mr. Gawali's shoulder several times. He was glad that his father had a trusted assistant. If Mr. Gawali had betrayed him, perhaps all these assets would not be his today.
"Uncle, I ask you once again. Don't get too familiar with me. Don't tell those people about who I really am. Can you do that?"
With a firm nod, Mr. Gawali said yes. Now the man began to open the door and invited Joseph to enter the car which was now also Joseph's. After making sure that Joseph was seated properly, the man got the car underway and headed back to the Smith family home.
After being escorted by Mr. Gawali, Joseph immediately entered the area of his wife's family home. From the tail of his eyes, Joseph could tell that the four people who had always insulted him were now hiding to watch Mr. Gawali's arrival with him. When Joseph was almost in front of the big door of the house, the four men immediately went into the living room. They pretended not to care about Joseph's arrival, even though they were very curious about what was happening.
In addition, Katty who had noticed the arrival of the black car immediately left her room and went down the stairs. She immediately walked to the living room to meet the rest of her family, while calling her husband to speak there first.
"Are you home, Honey?" asked Katty with a stiff smile. She was still curious about Mr. Gawali and her husband.
"Yes. What's going on?" asked Joseph pretending not to know, even though he knew very well that the Smith family would start interrogating him. They were currently jealous that Joseph had been more successful in approaching Mr. Gawali.
"Hey, Joseph. What did you do to get Mr. Gawali to listen to your request? Do you know him? Uh, no way. A poor man like you can't possibly know someone as famous as Mr. Gawali. Hahahaha," said Lucky who was still upset because he felt disrespected by Mr. Gawali, but instead Joseph was the one who was invited to leave.
"Joseph, answer! What relation do you have with Mr. Gawali?" asked Jenny staring at Joseph.
"I have nothing to do with Mr. Gawali. He just talked to me for a while and then came back here," Joseph lied.
"You're lying! How could he give you permission to turn daddy's room into a VVIP room like that. What evil ways did you use to get Mr. Gawali to help you?" asked Lucky.
Joseph, who had just arrived at his house, let out a resigned breath. He had just arrived, but had already been greeted with this excitement.
"I was offered to work in his company," Joseph replied."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
"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
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
