I Am Not A Fool Chapter 122
"Isn't he the man my aide told me about?" The man thought to himself as he watched Dakota standing near James. "What is that man doing here with Mr. James? Very suspicious?"Behind Brown's smile at James, he was watching Dakota closely. Recently, he had gotten a report from his aide about a young man who was close to James.Brown recognized the man mentioned as Dakota, but more than that, he did not know about Dakota's status as what was near James. Therefore, he became anxious and suspicious.Dakota glimpsed at him calmly. He listened to the confusion in the man's head, and it helped him to act.Dakota's hand closed as he leaned closer to James' ear. "Sir, there is something else you must do. We must leave immediately, sir." Dakota took the initiative to lead James away from the man.Dakota acted as James' servant again quickly to divert the man's suspicion of him.James was a bit confused. Without taking his eyes off Dakota, he quickly nodded, being sure Dakota must have a reason fo

"Please, sir." Ray opened the car door for Dakota.With his eyes hardly open, Dakota walked with lazy steps into the car. He didn't say much throughout their journey.Occasionally, Dakota closed his eyes while checking out the window to see if they had arrived. But their journey seemed to be quite long. She woke up so early because Ray told him, they would be leaving early tomorrow night.Ray, who was sitting in the front, turned to him. "We're here, sir."Dakota opened his eyes and then looked outside. Only then did he open his car door just before Ray opened his. He looked at the spacious building in front of him."Come with me, sir." Ray escorted Dakota into the shooting range.Behind Ray, Dakota watched the crowded place as they stopped at the receptionist. Ray took out his membership card and showed it to the clerk there.Ray usually practiced at a different place than where the O'Connor family practiced shooting. So he wasn't recognized there, especially since none of the O'Conn

"Who exactly is this man? Why has he been showing up so often with Mr. James lately?" mused a butler standing behind James at the ready.Dakota, who could hear him, couldn't help but look at him, even though he was doing it subtly and casually.He saw the butler, a woman slightly older than Ray, staring straight ahead without budging. The waitress was acting professionally, even though she had questions in her head."Why does this man come so often? But I'm quite happy to see him in this house. These days, since this man is often seen standing around while preparing dinner and breakfast, it feels more pleasant." Dakota almost choked as he heard the voice of the young maid in front of him.James still hadn't told anyone about Dakota except Ray because James himself was conscientious about the fact that Dakota had returned.He shifted his gaze to James, who was staring at him worriedly, their eyes meeting. "Are you okay?" James asked her.The waitress, who had been looking at Dakota, i

"We're not on the same level. I don't want to be lumped together by someone like you." Nicholas looked down at Dakota. He gave him a slight grin. "You're a thief, so you're different from me."Dakota looked at him fiercely. His eyes stared intently at Nick. Nicholas was the man who had interned at the same company as him. But unlike Dakota, Nicholas was a rich kid.So, during his internship, Nicholas, who knew Dakota's status was lower than him, always made it difficult for Dakota with various things that made Dakota tired. Nicholas felt like the boss in the place where they interned.Many times, Nicholas delegated the work that had been divided by their boss to him. He asked Dakota to do his part, too. At that time, Dakota had no choice but to accept his treatment.The reason was, at that time, Dakota was still poor and needed a job, and Nicholas, whose family influenced the boss at their internship, threatened that if Dakota did not do what he ordered, then Dakota would be in troubl

"You're not someone who knows anything about the business world." Anna gave him a cynical and arrogant look. "You're just a rookie who knows nothing about me and Dakota." She grinned faintly at Nicholas."You..." Nicholas' words trailed off. He stared at Anna intently. His memory seemed to have seen her familiar-looking figure, but he couldn't quite remember.He tried to keep remembering, but no matter how hard Nicholas tried, he couldn't find her in his memory. Nicholas ignored his thoughts and dismissed them as part of his mistake."You're the one who doesn't know who Dakota is." Nicholas folds his arms haughtily. Then, he approached Dakota and looked at him with dangling eyes. "I knew him before you did. He was an ordinary working man. A poor man whose only job is to make money." He snorted at Dakota.What Nicholas said was true. Back then, he was only busy working. Day after day, he only spent doing one job after another.He lived in a flat that was only 5×5 meters, with one bathr

"Oh hey, you." Brown, who accidentally bumped into Dakota, greeted him and signalled for Dakota to come closer to him.Dakota, walking out of the main shopping centre building for some business, glanced at Brown flatly. he didn't want to talk to that person and look familiar to him, but since Brown had called his first, he had no choice but togo to him there.Dakota turned his face in the other direction, hiding his annoyed facial expression from Brown and then came acting like a person of lower status than Brown. After all, Brown recognised his as a servant of James, so he had to stick to his role until James decided it was time to introduce his to the public, and he was quite ready for that."Sir, Brown. Nice to meet you." Dakota imitated Ray's manner.Thanks to frequent interactions with Ray, he knows how to behave as a servant. These days, Dakota spends time with Ray quite often. They go to the shooting range quite often, and lately, Dakota has also been practising judo with Ray

Dakota heard the sound of feet walking towards him, then about to hit him from behind. Dakota quickly turned around and then made the person fall forward."You're doing a hazardous thing." one of them smirked, walking while overtaking Dakota's path and standing before him.Dakota stopped his steps and then looked at the man flatly. He turned his head in the other direction, then found several of them appeared and surrounded him, making a large circle with a gap that was also quite large because there were only three.Dakota looked at them with a faint smile on his face. They were taking it too lightly. If there were only three of them, Dakota was confident of taking them out, but he planned to show Brown the power of the O'Connor family.So, he still had to wait for his men to arrive to take care of them. he glanced around, then looked annoyed at them. "Ah, why would they send such lousy people to do this work? Did they intend to fail from the start?" he gave them a condescending look

"What did he do?" Brown seemed to be sitting in his place calmly, but right now, his mind was elsewhere. "Why is he overreacting to a new servant?"Brown drummed his fingers on the hand of the wooden table. He was thinking hard about who Dakota was.Ever since he accidentally met James and Dakota, he had been watching Dakota, who he knew to be James' new maid. Several times, he had gotten word from his men who were staking out James' residence that Dakota had been seen going in and out of the house repeatedly and then had also been seen going out with Ray.At first, he did not suspect the man's status, but because of today's events and why James had called him in anger. It made Brown sure of something.He twitched his mouth in complaint as his gaze stared unfocused at the corner of his room. "Maybe he's not a waitress like I thought. There's something they're hiding." Brown turned his gaze to the aide standing guard nearby.He raised his hand. Then, he moved his index finger to beckon

"What is this? Why is the news like this?" the aunt stared at the screen dumbfounded.The news they prepared and presented to the media to attack Dakota suddenly turned around and attacked them. Moreover, the news exposed their family's confidential matters."It is known that the family of the O'connor family heir's adoptive father before returning to the O'connor family treated the heir with bad manners." The man presenting the news spoke loudly with the news. "They took the money from her father's death insurance without giving any of the money left to Dakota."They were dumbfounded, looking at each other. Not understanding how it could have happened. They had no idea that news about themselves would be exposed to the media. They weren't necessary, so they didn't think the press would target them."How did they find out about that?" They were stunned. Even Dakota didn't know about her adoptive father's insurance, and his will wasn't read in front of her. She hadn't received any supp

"What the hell is Dakota doing to us?" Said the uncle, who was currently on the side of the road not far from Dakota's company.They were all forcibly evicted by the security guards and threatened to be reported to the authorities if they were still there. So, with the people forced to leave, they looked disgruntled and upset."I don't accept what he did to us." The aunt coaxing Dakota with her sweet words now showed her true face. "She can't just kick us out."The people strolling and blocking the other pedestrians seemed to be very indifferent to the other people. They walked and stopped, walked and stopped again without caring.There were three women and two men, but none cared about Dakota.The woman who had blonde hair and looked younger than them looked at her brothers with a similar look on her face. "He can't be allowed. We must teach Dakota a lesson." The woman privatized hi,."Lesson?" The woman who approached Dakota earlier turned his attention to the woman. "What do you me

"Dakota, you're such a joker." The woman, whose face looked shocked a moment ago, now turned soft. She chuckled while patting Dakota's arm.But Dakota had a different expression. He ignored what the woman was doing and just glanced at her with her gaze looking down because they were quite short and too close to her.The woman touched Dakota's hand like she was used to doing that every time she met Dakota. She didn't seem awkward at all, even though to Dakota, what she was doing was a nuisance.The woman's eyes widened, and with her face as friendly as possible, she spoke, "You are very easy to joke with. I can tell that you're a good person." She complimented Dakota, flicking her gaze towards the others, and the men greeted the woman's words with pitched exclamations. "After all, we're the ones who took care of you when you were little. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be in this place right now." She spoke with pride."That's right!" The others exclaimed. "We are the family that too

"I told you to let me in!" Snapped the man, Dakota's uncle, while Dakota's status was unknown.Because the news about Dakota circulated across the country and appeared in the newspapers, people who recognized Dakota recognized Dakota's picture, which was only taken briefly because the O'Connor family still guarded his identity.But for people who intersect with her, of course, Dakota's silhouette is so easy for them to recognize. Therefore, the uncle is currently in the leading company owned by the O'Connor family to find Dakota."Sorry, but you can't come in." The guard at the building's main door blocked his uncle Dakota's attempt to break in.Since they were so insistent on getting in, they seemed normal at first. But when asked what their purpose was and if they had made a schedule to meet, the people, instead of answering argued to be allowed to enter.The man with slightly bleached hair near his ears brushed off the guard's hand. "I told you I was his uncle! Didn't you hear me?"

"How could this be Dakota?" The voice of a woman in the crowd on the street, staring at the street billboard that showed an announcement about Dakota.The woman stared wide-eyed at Dakota's appearance, which had changed 180 degrees from the Dakota she once recognized. The woman tightly clenched her hand that held her bag tightly, her eyes did not move from where they were, listening to the news being aired all over the country.She was Gea, the woman who rejected Dakota's love five times because Dakota was just a poor man. Gea used to really dislike Dakota because of Dakota's poor status. She was upset that a poor man like Dakota dared to like someone like her.But now, Gea seemed frustrated to know the truth. "I should have just accepted it back then." She regretted it. "If I was with him, my life wouldn't have been possible like it is today."She grumbled in annoyance, her past suddenly came back into her head, she remembered the figure of Dakota who used to like her but she rejecte

"I heard that there are many guests coming today." A glamorous woman in a dress cut low on the chest spoke to a man before her.The man nodded. "Yes. I saw from the guest list that the guests invited by them are three times more than the guests they usually invite." The classic-looking man responded.Many people dressed in luxurious clothes in the ballroom of the residence occupied by the O'Connor family as one of their leisure homes.They wore hand oes, clothes, and jewelry from world designers with limited items. They seemed to enjoy the party even though the main event had not started.Their conversations varied, ranging from simple greetings by those who rarely met because they had their own busy schedules, talking about business and what was trending among the upper-class people, to talking about their respective lifestyles as show-offs."Almost everyone who comes to this place is critical." In the middle of the party, the other guests were observing the guests.The woman with br

"I got a lot done today." Dakota stretches his shoulders in the spinning chair before the computer screen.A few days ago, James had given him various assignments that suddenly became jobs he had to take care of and learn about.Starting with learning about their family tree, the company run by their family, and the people involved with their family, all Dakota learned because of James' orders to him.James wanted Dakota to know that as a basis, then after he understood it, James made Dakota tour each of their subsidiaries, but Dakota was there to accompany him and look around.For a whole week, Dakota's schedule was packed with things James had in mind after observing him. Dakota still remembers that just when he thought his schedule was over, James said, "It's time to introduce you to the public. You've prepared everything you need to know, and now it's time for you to emerge as the heir of the O'Connor family.""I have prepared the guest list. Mr. James said you need to look at it

"Hands off!" she snapped at the officer loudly. "What are you doing?" he looked panicked and worriedly at Dakota. "Sorry I came late, sir."All of them looked shocked and couldn't believe what they saw, especially the manager and the security guard, who recognized the man with the cane as their senior officer in the mall. The man was the highest leader of their branch mall. He was the managing director.The manager looked nervous. He read the situation and tried to realize what was happening. "Mr. Director, what are you doing here?" he looked confused. "Don't you have an important meeting today? Why can't you?" Those questions came to mind.As he said them one by one, he was like getting the scattered puzzle pieces and being able to put them together clearly, then his face turned anxious and panicked looking at Dakota.He looked at Dakota with a fierce look. "No way, so he owns this mall, like he said? he's not lying?" the man thought to himself.Dakota glanced at him with a slight sn

"Come to the watchdog room section. Some people are giving me a hard time in this place," Dakota said right after their call was connected."You're currently at the mall, sir?" the voice on the other end sounded panicked. Without giving Dakota a chance to answer his question, he spoke again, "Yes, sir, I'll be right there." He ended their phone call. He ended their phone call.Dakota contacted one of the highest-ranking staff in the mall. It was true that Dakota did have the largest share there. But he did not run it and take a position as one of the board of directors there because his work was already too much, and he just wanted to take his profit opportunities.Being an investor for them was much more flexible because he couldn't divide his time while he had a lot of work.As their call ended, the woman looked at him with a laugh. "What are you doing? Who did you call?" She chuckled. She really couldn't believe that Dakota was the one who owned such a big mall.Even being one of t
