"That's not true, Dakota!" His uncle denied her words. He changes the expression on his face to a helpless face, trying to get sympathy from Dakota. Unfortunately, it's useless. No matter what his uncle looked like, he wouldn't go easy on him because that man didn't deserve to be treated well.

Dakota remained cold to him. "That's the real truth. All this time, you treated me inhumanely. You often left nothing for me to eat when I was the one who prepared the food for you. You ordered me to do things a little boy like me shouldn't do." He recalled the dark period of his life.

Those times alone were the most challenging part for him to talk about, but he opened them up, exposing them to the man so the old man would know what he had done to him.

"You beat me up for the trivial things I did, and you beat me up for things that weren't even worth the size of your feet and hands. You left me cowering in pain, begging to be forgiven. You locked me in a small room and let me starve for days. A

    "Come in, and you'll be doomed! People like you deserve to be taught a lesson." Dakota averted his eyes. He searched for where the voice came from.Dakota, who was originally about to enter, abandoned his intention. His eyes swept the people around him, but he didn't find anyone suspicious with the same voice of thought he heard. The people seemed to be busy with their own business, except for someone.Dakota approached the person who seemed to run to hide. He stood right in front of that person without that person realising. "What are you doing with my car?" Dakota turned the man's back and found that the person was his uncle.The uncle looked surprised when he saw Dakota find him. "Wh-what? I didn't do anything to your car!" He argued, moving his shoulder to remove Dakota's hand from it.Although he denied making such an excuse, Dakota knew his uncle was lying. He saw the panic on the face of the middle-aged man before him, so he knew immediately that his uncle had done something un

    Dakota looked at his message screen and read an incoming message from Anna. "Where are you, Dakota? Why did you ask me to meet you?" He then typed a reply on his phone screen quickly, sending it to Anna. Then afterwards, he stared silently at his phone screen, waiting for another response from Anna.Dakota is currently sitting in the lobby of one of the famous hotels in her city. The hotel is quite luxurious with various facilities they provide. Besides that, they have an awe-inspiring modern design. It looks stylish but also comfortable. The thing rarely found in a trendy place is usually comfort, but they presented a concept with all the perfect support.Feeling comfortable in the place, Dakota, who sat there for almost an hour, looked so relaxed. He was busy looking at his screen, waiting for a reply from Anna's message, while occasionally, he took a sip from his glass containing the fresh juice he had ordered earlier. Then soon he put the glass back on his desk because Anna had re

    "Willy?" Dakota turned his head in that direction and found Willy Artesvand approaching them and standing nearby."What did you do to my friend?" Willy pulled Marco's hand, holding Dakota's shirt collar, and looked at Marco sharply.Dakota, who didn't realize that Willy was in that place, watched Willy as the man confronted Marco. Willy, who now appeared in front of him, looked different. If Willy usually looked geeky with his dressing style like a nerd on campus, now he looked neat and different."Just now, I saw you about to hit him. Your actions earlier could get you convicted based on violence." Willy's loud voice distracted Dakota from staring at his face. He saw the look on Willy's face showing great anger. Besides that, Dakota realized that Willy's words were sincere because he didn't hear anything else in the man's mind.Marco's female friend rolled her eyeballs in disgust, looking at Willy. "Who is this weird guy again?" She made a comment to which none but Marco's other frie

    "What's this?" Marco got up from his seat and approached the table of the officer who had been talking. "Did you hear me wrong, you just said that both of them are free. What does that mean?"The officer brushed his hands on the vest he was wearing. He looked at Marco with an ordinary gaze. He even almost smiled. "Unfortunately you didn't hear wrong." He turned his gaze on Dakota and Willy. "Those two have indeed been released."Dakota smiled upon hearing that. He knew that he didn't need to do anything in that place except sit quietly and wait."That makes no sense! They should have been arrested. Look at this!" Marco yelled, pointing at the wounds on his face from Dakota's actions. "Can you see? This was done by her!" He pointed at Dakota in front of the officer. "He hit me and you should have arrested him!"Marco looked out of control; he looked so angry that the two friends who came with him needed to hold him to keep Marco from acting recklessly and attacking Dakota instead.

    "What are you talking about?" Marco looked surprised and confused. "I'm in your trouble. You're supposed to help me." He sounded annoyed.Dakota glanced at him. He was increasingly convinced that this kid he was dealing with was living a spoiled life, as evidenced by how he spoke and asked his parents. He didn't sound reluctant or guilty at all."There's no way I'm doing that!" His father's voice from behind the phone sounded stern, making Marco look even more panicked. His eyes moved to look at lawyer Willy with annoyance even though he tried to stay focused on his father. "That's your punishment for being stupid. You're a troublemaker. You should learn to control yourself.""Dad, stop it!" Marco shouted. "You don't know the situation. It's not my fault. I did nothing wrong. That guy started it first, he didn't know his place, and I just told him. Explained to him that he had made a mistake for bothering me."Marco was still being arrogant without realizing his place, even though the

    "Argh..." Dakota sighed softly while rubbing his eyes, which looked a bit tired. He was in one of the rooms in his house that still looked half empty. Only a large table with a large screened computer device lit up in front of him sitting, while the rest of the room looked empty.Dakota had been holed up there for days, watching the graphics on his bright computer screen, accompanied by some food wrappers that were slightly scattered on his desk.At first, the graph showed a figure of 1 million dollars. It continued to move significantly, breaking into the tens of millions and then into the hundreds of millions and stopping at 250 million dollars."Done!" Dakota clicked something with her mouse, and the screen changed to show 250 million dollars on the graph, which stopped looking bigger than before. "Finally..." He said with relief and a happy look. His days of effort in that place had finally paid off for him."It feels so good to have this ability get a bigger boost." He smiled wid

    "Lottery?" They chorused in unison. Their faces were starting to lose the enthusiastic look on Dakota's change story, which they thought was quite exciting. But now it sounded like nonsense. "Are you kidding me?"Dakota looked at them in turn calmly. "You asked, and I answered." She didn't try to convince them, for her, if they wanted to believe or not, it didn't matter to her.The man with a brown shirt and matching colored pants squatting in front of her shook his head violently. "You must be lying for not telling us." He looked at Dakota flatly. He was sure that Dakota, who had now become rich, must not want to tell his secret because he wanted only him to succeed, and others should not be like him. "You must be afraid that if you tell us the real money and we also get rich, you feel rivaled."Dakota looks at him flatly. That kind of thinking is too shallow for him to have. As long as it wasn't hers, then he didn't mind if someone else had it too. As long as his property was not di

He pointed at Dakota, who suddenly turned his gaze to him.Dakota looked at him calmly. He remembered the man. But he didn't feel that he had anything to do with him to be called a cheater."You tricked me, Dakota!" He said angrily, his tone of voice pressed deep, and the look on his face showed Zetta his disappointment in Dakota. "Because of what you said yesterday, now I'm in trouble." He yelled in frustration, shaking his body while holding his head.Dakota looked at him in confusion. "What did I do?" He asked the man.People's attention began to focus on them. "What's going on?" one of them began to observe."You asked what you were doing?" He screeched in disapproval as Dakota looked like a stranger to him. "Yesterday, you were the one who said that you are living like this now, thanks to the lottery you

    "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.

    "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

    "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
