I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 153 : The First Wife's Birthday Party (Part 2)
Victor saw Vasco coming with Verlaine, and Maria beside him. As usual, Maria would act very spoiled with Verlaine if she was in front of Victor. Maybe she thought Victor would still feel jealous, but Victor just laughed at her. "Welcome, Vic. I'm glad you came to my mother's birthday party," Verlaine said, acting friendly. Victor smiled slightly, but Vasco suddenly put his arm around his shoulders. "What are you doing?" "Why are you being so rude? I'm just trying to embrace my brother." "Brother?" Victor almost laughed at Vasco's reference to him as a brother. "Why, you don't like it?" Vasco asked, looking sad but it was just an act. "I'm actually sick of hearing I call you with word brother, but there are so many people here, wouldn't it be better to get attention by making people think we actually get along?" Victor said nothing, but he actually laughed before removing Vasco's hand from his shoulder. "You're doing something futile. Making people think we get along? Even the

Victor gave Vasco a cold, cynical glance, while the man pretended not to expect anything like this to happen. They asked the same girl to dance. "Oh, I didn't know you were going to ask Violet to dance too, Vic," Vasco said, laughing but it was only an act. Victor would get sick of seeing that smile. Victor knows that Vasco must have seen Victor approaching Violet, and he's doing this on purpose to piss Victor off. But this time Victor wasn't going to let himself lose, he was determined to make Violet choose him even though Vasco didn't seem to want to let that happen either. "Too bad because I was also thinking of dancing with my beautiful little sister," Vasco said.1264"I'm sorry, but since she came with me, I was also thinking about being her first dance partner," Victor replied, not wanting to be outdone.Violet remained silent, while the two men in front of her were waiting for her decision.Violet held back. Just a small thing like choosing a dance partner made it difficult

Violet really did go to the garden as Vivian had wanted. Carrying one glass of wine, she searched for the whereabouts of Vivian's guest who was nowhere to be seen near the garden. "Did he go into the garden?" asked Violet, glancing inside the garden that was used for relaxing, but there was no one. Violet frowned. "Damn, did she really prank me?" asked Violet, slightly annoyed. She thought about going back. It felt uncomfortable to be in that quiet, poorly-lit place when everyone was partying in the main hall. Violet turned around, when suddenly someone attacked her and knocked over her wine glass. Prang...! "DIE! JUST DIE, YOU BITCH!" *** Victor didn't leave the party after what Violet did to him. He was still there, sitting in a corner that seemed safe from the rioters. The rioters Victor was referring to were Verlaine and his siblings. "Even though this is my enemy's party, good food never disappoints," Victor said, enjoying a variety of sweet desserts to improve his mood
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 156 : A Good Figure
Victor managed to get Violet out of the deep pool, but Violet was unconscious. "Violet? Violet?" Victor tried to get Violet to wake up by shaking her, pressing her chest repeatedly to get the water out, if only she'd drank as much water while drowning. Violet coughed, spewing out the water she had swallowed and that almost killing her. Violet, Vonn and Vincent were relieved. But Violet was still very weak and still had people worried, like Vander, Vania, and of course... "VIOLET!" Sahara ran frantically towards Violet, hugging her weak body. "What happened? Why did Amber suddenly attack you? Oh my God, my daughter almost died." Sahara was anxious, she almost cried if Victor didn't calm her down. "Madam, Violet is fine now," Victor said. Vonn took off his navy coat to cover Violet's wet upper body that showed her curves very clearly. "But that cuts can't be left untreated either. It's better to take her to the hospital right away," Vonn said, and Victor nodded. Victor picked

Vivian came into Violet's room, and saw that Veneza had just finished checking on her. "How is she?" asked Vivian, not looking concerned. Veneza was about to leave and replied, "Nothing serious other than quite serious shock." "Hm, is that so?" Vivian gave a small smile. "She must have been very shocked. Who would have thought that someone would attack her to the point of near death while everyone was having a good time at the party? She must have been so shocked, confused, and scared. Poor Violet." Veneza glanced at Violet, who still hadn't woken up since last night. She bandaged the knife wounds Violet had gotten on her arm, shoulder and a little bit on her face. "Are you really thinking of killing her?" asked Veneza. "You knew that Amber was crazy; Verlaine wouldn't even let her leave her room for work because she was acting like a mad dog after Verlaine's marriage to Maria, but you made her attack Violet. Also... what reason did you give Amber to attack Violet?" "I didn't tel

"Huh?" Violet still couldn't believe what she was hearing. "For what happened last night, I apologize. After all, it was Amber who attacked you. You don't have to worry, I've already punished her for what she did." With a confused face, Violet replied, "No, but wasn't it Vivian who got Amber into the party?" "I'll punish Vivian too, don't worry. Or do you want to request a punishment for her? I'll do it for you with two times worse." "No... no need." Violet was angry with Vivian, but she couldn't imagine what kind of bad things Verlaine could have done to Vivian if only Violet had said yes to Verlaine's offer. Verlaine approached her and sat on the edge of her bed. "How are you feeling?" he asked. "I'm fine. Veneza said I was in a serious state of shock, but I'm completely fine now." Verlaine smiled, as if relieved. "I'm glad to hear that." Seeing Verlaine acting like that made Violet feel a little awkward and uncomfortable. "Do you have something to say?" Violet asked, "Did

"Okay, today's lesson is over. See you in the next lesson." During his week in Denver, Xiel thought he enjoyed his job. Being a high school teacher was not too difficult, probably because he was a genius-he could act like a good teacher despite having no experience. The only thing that was a little troublesome during his time as a teacher was his popularity, which drew a lot of attention, especially among the students. "Mr. Addams, do you offer private classes after school? I was wondering how fast my academic progress would be if I could get extra classes from you." "Unfortunately Catherine, but I don't think I can offer extra classes after school. You'll have to find another teacher." "Mr. Addams, do you have a girlfriend yet?" "Maya, we discussed this two days ago. I am engaged." "But I haven't seen you wearing a ring since day one." "It just so happens that my engagement ring is missing, and I'm ordering a new one. You'll see it soon." "What a lucky girl to be the partner

"I didn't know you were interested in piano like this, Tiffany." Tiffany was surprised, spontaneously stopping her piano playing as she saw Xiel watching her with a faint smile from the doorway. "Mr. Addams... I didn't know you were there." "Well, I was on my way to my next class and heard someone playing the piano even though there was no music class today. It turned out to be you." "I'm sorry that I played the piano without permission; I should have come back sooner after dropping off those books." "No, you're not. I'm the one apologizing for listening to you play the piano secretly, but you played it really well. Have you ever taken piano lessons before?" Tiffany smiled a little at Xiel's praise, but then she looked sluggish when Xiel asked further. "I've never taken piano lessons, I just took the basics at my previous school," Tiffany said. "Wow... but your playing is really good." Xiel approached her, standing next to the open piano. Tiffany shook her head, smiling stiffl

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
