I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 056 : He Wants Her!
Since the argument that day, Dylan had not seen Victor until three days had passed.He was honestly surprised and annoyed by how Victor tried to keep Violet out of his sight. Dylan couldn't understand why Victor hated Violet so much, when their relationship had seemed fine before.About Violet who didn't want to trust Victor and help him save Vania, Dylan thought it was normal for Victor to be upset. But Dylan didn't understand that it could make Victor furious that he didn't want Violet around."Just thinking about him still makes me feel upset," Dylan said, walking into the office lobby on some business.As someone who played a role in the jewelry-making process, Dylan was rarely in the office. He would go to the office if there was business to be done there, and it seemed to make Dylan a little happy that he wasn't in the mood to see Victor.Instead of seeing Victor, Dylan was stunned for a moment when he saw who had come into the office today.It was Violet.Dylan tried to act calm
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 057 : Take A Note
"So you think Miss Violet could be a threat to the company if she works here?" Dylan asked with an offended look on his face, as if Victor was accusing him."That's what I believe.""Did you think it was the right thing to do this time? You seem to have a very strong feeling for everything."Victor frowned, feeling as if Dylan had purposely said that to insult him."I don't think my feelings will always come true, Dylan, I'm thinking this because I know something that could make her betray me without hesitation." Victor was still trying to explain. "First of all, it's obvious, she's Antonio's daughter. You asked what the difference is between her and Vania? There is. I believe Vania will not betray me.""What makes you so sure? It could be that Antonio's daughter who would betray you for him is Miss Vania.""No, I'm sure Vania wouldn't.""What's the reason?""Because Vania is not a woman who can act stupidly for love."Dylan gave Victor a confused look, then he laughed. "Are you sure?
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 058 : Glass Of Wine
Violet finished preparing a glass of wine and some snacks to chat with Victor. He met her with a more refreshed look; he'd just taken a shower, and his hair was still dripping a little water."You look more alive," Violet said, and Victor sat down on the couch next to the one Violet was sitting on. She smiled and asked, "Are you already feeling like a real businessman? You look very tired.""Do I look like that?" Victor asked back."Yes...""I'm glad you understand, but you still asked me to join you for a drink."Violet pursed her lips. "You told me I could do that.""Even so, I hope you at least understand." Victor picked up the glass filled with wine and drank it down. Then he sat back on the sofa and said, "I've had your wine; is that enough now?"This time, Violet frowned in disappointment."Do you really not want to talk to me?" asked Violet with a sad face. Victor didn't respond and just looked away. "Victor, are you still angry?""Talking about it again?""I still haven't gott
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 059 : Dinner At Home
Violet came home from work. She saw that her mother was still in her room, and dinner time was just around the corner."Mom, can I come in?" asked Violet as she opened Sahara's bedroom door without her knowing."Oh, Violet. You're home..." Sahara said, tidying up something she had been working on, her back to the door, looking very focused.Violet walked over to her mother, and she saw the very thick photo album in Sahara's hands."It looks like you're diving into memories of the past," Violet said, sitting down on the bed.Sahara smiled. "I miss the days when you and your brothers were kids." Violet glanced at the picture her mother was showing her, and there were several pictures of her and her twin brother when they were little.Sahara looked at Violet deeply and fondly. "It seems like time flies," she said, rubbing Violet's face. "I'm glad you're doing so well.""Anyone would do well if they had parents like you and dad." Violet kissed Sahara's cheek and lay down on the woman's be
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 060 : Useful To You
Violet knocked softly on Antonio's workroom door before she was allowed in by Antonio, who was busy taking care of his paperwork."I'm here, Dad," Violet said, standing in front of the door."Come here." Antonio spoke without looking at Violet. After the woman arrived in front of him, Antonio put down his work to look at Violet's slightly tense face. "How was work, girl?"Antonio smiled, hope in his eyes. That hope had somehow made Violet feel pressured."Did you do what I said to do?""Yes, Dad....""Did you? And what did you get? What did he say?"Violet didn't answer right away, remembering what had happened the night she'd put the drug in Victor's wine glass under her father's orders. Violet had felt a little conflicted; she was afraid there would be dangerous side effects, but Antonio had said that the drug would just make Victor a little drunk and do what Violet wanted without realizing it.Unfortunately, it didn't work that way.Even after being so drunk that he couldn't walk t
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 061 : That Should Be Mine
Antonio came to that place again. A casino that was very famous among the upper socialites, a place that not everyone could get access to.But Antonio walked in confidently, even hurriedly, because he couldn't wait to meet the person behind the door, guarded by two bodyguards."Sorry, sir, you can't just walk in-ugh!"Antonio didn't wait until one of the bodyguards finished his words, and he opened the door roughly with a smile. The man he was looking for was there, sitting at his desk, which was blocked by a curtain."You're here, Handler," Antonio said, making Handler, who seemed to be busy with his work, stop to look at Antonio's presence."I have no place to be except here. What do you want this time?" asked Handler in a calm voice.Antonio had never seen Handler's face since they first met. It was just that Handler sounded like a man in his 30s, with a tall, well-built body, from the shadow he showed behind his curtains.Antonio approached Handler's curtain and said, "I already k
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 062 : Dumped
Victor was stunned by Violet's statement."What did you say, you were... dumped?" asked Victor, demanding an explanation. Violet bowed her head, hiding her sad face. "Violet, tell me. What's going on? You seemed fine with him, why did he dump you all of a sudden?""Are you happy?" asked Violet, giving Victor a sharp look and he was surprised. When Violet looked up, she seemed to be holding back tears with reddened eyes."Violet....""You always wished this would happen to me, didn't you?""What? What do you mean?" asked Victor in a protesting tone."You've always wished that my father would dump me so that what you said would prove to be true, that he had always intended to dump me and he's actually doing it now. Congratulations, everything is going your way."Victor gave Violet a sharp look, holding her back as she was about to leave. "Hey, what's wrong with you, why are you blaming me?""Because of you! All because of you!" Violet snapped. "You're always trying to make me believe th
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 063 : To The Target
Victor came back in after being out for a while. He sighed, and Violet watched him walk in with a haggard face.Violet didn't ask any questions until Victor sat down on the couch and faced her."I talked to the manager and she said that if your room has been rented for another," Victor said, "there are no more floors left in this apartment for you to live on."Violet looked disappointed."She said that as soon as you decided to stop renting, someone else rented it.""I'm not surprised, there must be a lot of people who want to live in a luxury apartment like this."Victor didn't respond to that and said, "I'll find another apartment for you, maybe one near the office.""Can I have this?" asked Violet, making Victor stop as he was about to leave."What do you mean?""I've made a lot of mistakes that have upset you, but you're still being nice to me. I feel like I don't deserve your kindness.""You're not that bad," Victor retorted, "after all, what I'm doing isn't like alms from a sain

Violet slowly opened the door to the room with the overpowering medical odor. She took a quick glance inside, and now had a perfect view of the figure sitting on the thickly blanketed bed as she glanced out the large glass window. Seemingly lost in thought, he seemed calm and unconcerned about his surroundings. Even when Violet pulled out a chair and took a comfortable spot to sit next to him, Victor remained passive. Violet glanced at her man with a quizzical look, as if she wanted to start a conversation. After five days of unconsciousness, Victor finally opened his eyes this morning. Violet rushed to him to see how he was doing, but it seemed that only his physical state had improved. Violet ventured to touch Victor's hand, and to her surprise, Victor flinched. Violet couldn't help but be surprised by the man's response. "Violet...," Victor said in a low voice, he looked up at Violet but those eyes seemed to be empty without a focal point. "You were here, I didn't realize,"

Connor approached Emily, then looked at the little girl’s sleeping face while gently rubbing her slightly gaunt cheeks. “So... how did it go?” asked Connor, Jack flinched as he understood what the question meant. However, Jack chose to remain silent, making Connor smile because he suspected that his guess was correct. “Failed, yes...,” the old man said, smiling haughtily.“I won’t give up, Dad.” Jack said with conviction, making his father look down on him even more. “I’ll try until Emily gets her new heart.”“You’re pretty optimistic for a kid who just felt the pain of failure after not listening to his parents, Jack. Don’t you want to complain and complain to this father of yours?” Jack was silent, his jaw hardening as he held back his anger. He knew full well that all his father was doing now was mocking his failure, making Jack feel reminded of the pain when his high hopes ended in failure again.Indirectly, Connor seemed to be saying: "Expecting kindness from a monster like Victo

After a few minutes spent cleaning up, Violet and Victor met back at the dining table for breakfast. As before, there weren’t many ingredients in Victor’s refrigerator. Violet used the ingredients she had on hand to make breakfast, and thankfully it didn’t turn out too badly.Victor doesn’t wait long and eats his share of breakfast. Violet stares at him intently, waiting for his reaction. But Victor just ate without saying anything. Even though he was eating well, Violet was still waiting for a comment from him. And when she didn’t get one, the girl chuckled. It made Victor stop eating and ask, “What’s wrong?”Violet looked at him with pouting lips. “You’re not going to compliment my cooking again this time?”“I already ate it.”“But at the very least, I want to hear your comet. You kept eating without saying anything.”“I already ate it, isn’t that clear evidence that I didn’t reject your food. At least the taste is still acceptable to the human tongue, hence why this human wants to

Violet opened her eyes and frowned. Her blurred vision clearly felt unfamiliar with the place where she opened her eyes, but no sooner had she paused and remembered, than Violet remembered where she was. Because of this, she hurriedly turned her body around to find Victor sleeping next to her.This was the second time Violet had woken up looking at Victor’s face to start her day. But the first time, Violet hadn’t been this close. She and Victor were like two poles far apart, but now they were like twigs and leaves that were always attached.Violet moved closer, wanting to see the details of the man’s face more closely. As she stood still and looked at him, Violet realized that Victor was indeed as handsome as everyone said he was. All this time she had recognized it silently, covered in prestige and always denying it even to herself. But now, she didn’t hesitate to smile, amazed.Her mind, which had not been filled with anything, was now filled with Victor, Victor and Victor. Violet w

Jack was silent for a moment, at a loss for an answer. “I-I did it because I had no other choice. I wanted a child so badly-““Well, I see,” Verlaine said, interrupting Jack’s unfinished speech, “the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree,” he said with a quiet murmur.Verlaine then cleared his throat loudly, as if signaling he was about to begin his important conversation with Connor and Jack tonight.Connor began with, “As you told me on the phone that you would tell me about the next plan tonight. Tell me.”Verlaine raised both eyebrows. “Ouh... you’re so impatient, Mr. Grayson,” he said in a joking tone. “Is it because it’s late, so you don’t want to make small talk any longer?”“I brought Jack so you can use him for your plans too,” Connor replied, changing the subject.Verlaine raised one eyebrow, realizing that Connor was really impatient for the plan he had. “Well... I’ll say it,” Verlaine said then, no longer wanting to mince words. “In a few days, there will be a party held by

"Beautiful tuxedo," said the man with hazel eyes, to the short-haired woman standing in front of him. "When did you buy it?"Maria smiled broadly, pleased that the choice item she had bought for Verlaine had responded so well to the man. She rushed to her lover, sitting on Verlaine's lap intimately as she put her arms around his neck."I bought it a long time ago but since you've been so busy lately, it's been difficult for me to find the right time to give it to you," Maria said, explaining in more detail. Verlaine simply nodded and smiled, though his heart was still cold as ever. "Do you like it?" Maria's question drew Verlaine's gaze away from his gift.The man smiled sweetly, growing wider. "Of course," he replied, pecking her cheek gently.Maria was delighted. She then without hesitation kissed him briefly on the lips, showing her happiness. They looked at each other for a few seconds, until Maria spoke up again."Verlaine, what did you do during your vacation? That place yo

That distracted Violet from the beautiful dresses before her. “Really? What is it?” “A wedding anniversary celebration.” “Ah, Mrs. Scarlett and her husband, huh?” said Violet, smiling, her eyes focused on the dresses again. “Your adoptive parents will be celebrating their wedding anniversary. It must be a happy day for them.” “We’re also allowed to be happy on their happy day.” Violet froze, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean?” she asked later. “Should we go to the dance?” asked Victor, causing Violet to turn her face away slowly. The girl stared at Victor, confirming her thoughts which were immediately confirmed by Victor’s next words. “Should we pick out the dresses now?” Violet, of course, would immediately smile widely. She nodded her head with twinkling eyes, looking very excited and happy. The two of them started their agenda; choosing a dress that would be used to attend the celebration party like Victor said. While her feet were busy moving to and fro, Violet’s l

Later that day, they decided to go out. The romantic term is 'date'. Victor waited for Violet to get ready, and Violet waited for Victor to get ready. One thing in common was that as a result of the waiting time, they were mesmerized by each other's charms in their date-ready best. Violet smiled broadly, waiting for Victor to come out of the room and watching him from the dining table with her chin propped up. "Your dress sense isn't much different from the last time, but somehow it looks so luxurious and appropriate this time," Violet says, complimenting him. Victor smiled slightly and walked over. "Is it because I'm seeing it with love this time? You look absolutely marvelous." "I didn't know you were the type to compliment your partner," Victor said, taking Violet's hand to lead her out of the apartment. "Hm. I didn't know I was the type of person to do this to their partner either. You were my first partner, you know?" "Really?" "Yeah... I've only ever confessed my feelings,

Meanwhile, Verlaine was now hurrying away to a place, which was none other than his private apartment. There, he would meet Maria who had just finished cooking a meal for herself. Maria had no idea that Verlaine had returned from his ‘vacation’ in Vermont, she only knew that he had extended his vacation on the pretext of falling in love with the vast and soothing expanse of grass.Hence, when she saw his presence at the technological door, she couldn’t help shouting his name. “VERLAINE...!” The woman ran at full speed, rushing to hug Verlaine tightly while her body was twisted like a romance scene in a movie.“Are you coming home today?” asked Maria as soon as Verlaine released her embrace. She was delighted to see Verlaine standing in front of her after they had not seen each other for almost a week.“Yes. I wanted to give you a surprise,” Verlaine replied as he kissed Maria’s neck, making her grimace occasionally in amusement. “You were surprised?”“I’m so surprised that I’m speech
