A grand birthday party was held in a large building. Today the eldest daughter of a famous jewelry businessman's family was having a birthday. Maria Siesta was 25 years old, and everyone rejoiced for her."Maria, happy birthday. I hope you receive this small gift." Maria's friend arrived, carrying a gift box filled with famous jewelry worldwide.Maria accepted the gift with a big smile. "Oh my gosh, isn't this Carter Jewelry? It's so pretty, Kate!"Maria tried on the diamond necklace, and she looked even more radiant. Maria looked like a goddess with her brown hair in a simple bun and her body clad in a red velvet dress that revealed her beautiful body.But among the sparkling lights that highlighted the goddess perfectly, a man appeared whose presence had already stolen the cynical glances of every pair of eyes."Maria, my dear ...." When his small voice said Maria's name, all smiles instantly disappeared. Even Maria fell silent with a flat face.The man was Victor Leighton, the youn
Rose Leighton's funeral was quiet. Only a few people came considering Rose wasn't much of a socialite. She was just an unconsidered wife, and her husband didn't even show up on the day of her funeral."My condolences, Victor," said Giselle, Antonio's first wife and mother to Verlaine, Vivian, and Vasco. With a haughty face, Giselle quietly mocked Victor.Victor bowed his head, unwilling to respond."I brought a message from Antonio. He couldn't come because he was busy," Giselle said."Even if he's not working, he won't come. You don't need to make an excuse because I know what he thought of my mother," Victor replied without looking at Giselle."How dare you say that?" asked Vivian in an annoyed tone, but Giselle held her back and smiled."You know your father well, Victor. I'm glad you understand your position, and you shouldn't be so cocky. You should be grateful that Antonio still wants to hold a funeral for your mother."Victor clenched his fists. He remembered what Antonio had s
When Victor opened his eyes, he found himself in the hospital."Mr. Victor Leighton?" The nurse's voice interrupted his attention, Victor turned his head weakly. "Can you hear my voice?" Victor just nodded, it felt like his throat was too dry to make a sound."Thankfully, you're fully awake."Victor didn't respond and let the nurse do her job; checking Victor's body condition."Wait...." The nurse was about to leave, but Victor held her back. Fortunately, the nurse heard Victor's very low voice. "How many days have I been in the hospital?""Two weeks, sir. You almost died with that many punch wounds and a pretty serious head injury.""Ah, I remember. I was beaten almost to death.""Do you remember what happened? Thank goodness. There doesn't seem to be any trauma interfering with that part of your memory."Of course Victor wouldn't forget how he was beaten. The pain was still vivid, as were the words of the man named Mark who degraded his mother."I also remember that today is two wee
After having a wealth system that made him a trillionaire overnight, Victor spent his money on slowly improving his life.He bought an apartment in a prominent part of the city, as well as an expensive car from a well-known brand. Victor has also paid off his mother's debt. Victor spent one day enjoying his wealth, until he thought of an innovation."I don't know where this system came from and why it chose me as its master. What if this system disappears one day? I'll go back to being a pauper," Victor said, musing in his plush mansion room. "I must own my own business and maintain my wealth. Although the wealth of my system is unlimited, but there will definitely be some things that I can't do with my system. I have to be independent, I can't rely too much on the system."Victor then sighed and felt a little desperate."But what should I do? Is there a business that can make me very rich?" Victor asked. "There is no such thing as instant success, unless you have very rich parents...
Victor walked up to Veneza, and his appearance made all the guests take a notice."I've come to congratulate my brilliant sister," Victor said, taking Veneza's hand and kissing it. "Congratulations on your doctor's degree, Vene. May you become a great doctor and not be partial."The look on Victor's face must have made Veneza feel annoyed. Before Victor could kiss the back of her hand, she pulled her hand away roughly with a look of displeasure."What are you doing here? I didn't invite you!" said Veneza."Yes, of course, I know that I wasn't invited, it was like that before and it always is. But isn't this a good day? Don't you want to receive good wishes from others for your success?""I... accept your good wishes? Why would I do something stupid?""You just need to accept it.""What exactly do you want? What did you come here for? You know you're just making things uncomfortable and annoying?"Victor didn't seem to care about Veneza's words and instead reached for a glass of wine t
"Vic!" Dylan immediately stood up and went to Victor, then hugged Victor warmly and welcomed him. "You haven't contacted me in almost a month. Where have you been? I thought you were dead!"Victor released Dylan's hug and smiled wryly. "Yeah, almost.""Almost?""Yes. As you know, my father dumped me and I'm a living loser. My mom just died too.""Hey... really?" Dylan lowered his voice, a sympathetic look on his face."Yes, unfortunately.""Vic, sorry, I didn't know that your mom died.""No problem. It's only normal that you didn't know, we live in different cities.""My deepest condolences, Vic."Victor just nodded and smiled, even though he was still mourning his mother's death. But he didn't come to cry."Anyway, I've come to give you some good news, Dylan," Victor said, looking enthusiastic and exclaiming, "come work with me!"Dylan paused with a confused look. "What do you mean?""Work with me, let's work together to grow your jewelry business! You are a creative and persistent y
Victor was surprised to hear someone speak, and he saw Vander Leighton, Sera Leighton's first son, and Veneza's older brother. He was an expert surgeon and Sera's pride.Victor felt nervous seeing Vander. Did Vander see the power of his system?"H-hey, Vander, what are you doing here?" asked Victor in an awkward tone.Vander replied coldly. "This is the only way to the parking lot, and I need to get my car.""Oh... you're eating at this restaurant too?""Yes. Looks like the food inside didn't satisfy you, huh?" Victor swallowed but tried to remain calm. "You're like a child who shouldn't be in a place where adults are."Not unlike his other siblings, Vander also occasionally intimidated Victor. Although Victor was a little grateful that Vander didn't seem particularly interested in bullying him during this time. Vander was just focused on studying and his personality was already cold and quiet."Do I look like that because I came alone?" Victor asked."I always eat alone in places lik
"Violet?"Victor wa surprised, he didn't expect to meet Violet, the first child of Sahara Leighton, Antonio's fourth wife."Vi-Victor?"Violet was surprised too, she also looked a little panicked."What are you doing here? And dressed like that?" Victor looked at the sexy cat costume Violet was wearing, looking like she was showing off her body in exchange for money. "Do you work here? There are many women workers here who wear weird costumes like you.""I can't answer you now. I have to go.""Where are you going? What's the hurry?"Violet swatted Victor's hand away until someone's voice startled them."Hey, Vio-Cat! Come back!" Victor watched Violet's shocked, panicked, and scared face as the sturdy man called out to her.Violet was about to run, but the man yanked her back by the hair first. Violet was in pain but Victor only glanced at the man pulling her hair."Where are you going after getting my club almost in trouble?" the man asked, and Violet was even more frightened."Let go
