In one morning, Steve woke up from his sleep. He felt a little confused after looking around, until Steve remembered where he was, he let out a long sigh."Damn, I've been living here for a while now. But for some reason it's hard to get used to," muttered Steve Hart.Steve was in one of the many rooms in the Belvoir Mansion. Although everything is shrouded in luxury, Steve has yet to find comfort after deciding to live in the mansion."Arghhh, I can't believe there will be a time when I miss living in that godforsaken place," muttered Steve Hart, he somehow always remembered his wife's family's house every time he woke up from sleep.Steve Hart had lived in his wife's family home for a long time, so it was difficult for Steve Hart to forget everything after being evicted from there."Never mind, I'd better do something about it," muttered Steve Hart.That morning, Steve Hart decided to go for a jog to pass the time. This has become a habit that Steve has always done after living ther
Offended by Scott Hall's remarks, Steve decided to leave. Steve knew that if he stayed there any longer, there would be many more unpleasant remarks he would have to hear."Aria, I think I have to go now," said Steve Hart.Aria Hall with guilt on her face, could only nod. She also didn't want Steve to be there any longer, because of her father's arrival.Scott Hall, knowing Steve wanted to leave, didn't just let him. There was still a lot he wanted to talk about, and Steve needed to hear it."Why are you suddenly leaving? It's lunchtime, since you're my daughter's friend, why don't we eat together inside first?" Scott Hall with a friendly face full of pretense.Steve Hart raised his eyebrows, he glanced at Aria and she shook her head at him. Steve knew Aria had asked him to decline Scott's invitation, which Steve also agreed with."My daughter, what are you doing? Why are you trying to stop your friend from eating with us?" asked Scott Hall who noticed Aria's gesture to Steve Hart."D
Steve Hart felt Scott Hall has gone too far, he's only friends with Aria, Scott's daughter, and Scott immediately puts him down without knowing anything about him. Steve felt Scott should be made to understand that such things should not be done, especially by someone as senior as Scott."Uncle, I heard that Aria just managed to sell the Belvoir Mansion that had been unsold. Is that true?" asked Steve Hart.Scott Hall frowned, he was surprised that Steve knew this, "How did you know that? Don't tell me you befriended my daughter to profit from the sale of the mansion?"Steve Hart just smiled, he tried to answer Scott calmly, "I know because I was directly involved in the sale of Belvoir Mansion, Uncle.""Oh, so you helped my daughter sell it? You shouldn't ask for too much in return for what you've done just because you and my daughter are friends, take your share in moderation and don't take advantage of your friendship any further," Scott Hall said, he was worried that Steve was tak
Steve Hart had just arrived at his house when an incoming message suddenly sounded on his cell phone. It was Agatha who hadn't contacted him for a while after Steve was evicted from his wife's home, so Steve was quite curious what Agatha wanted to tell him.Steve checks the message which turns out to contain Agatha's request to meet with Steve. In which, Steve immediately prepares to go to Agatha's campus because his wife asked to meet after her class was over.Steve headed there in his Bugatti Chiron, he arrived right at the time Agatha returned from her campus.There was no need to wait too long for Agatha to come out of the campus building. To which, Agatha immediately looked happy after knowing Steve was waiting for her.Agatha approached Steve with quick steps, her arms slowly spread out until Agatha finally arrived right in front of Steve.Steve raised his eyebrows, wondering what Agatha wanted to do to do all that.Knowing Steve's confusion, Agatha quickly lowered her hand. She
Steve's gaze at the student instantly turned sharp. How could it not, when that student happened to be Eric Daran, someone who was supposed to still be in jail and not out here.Steve Hart vividly remembered it had only been a few months since he had sent Eric to prison, so he was curious as to how Eric Daran could have gotten out, years earlier than he should have."Why? Are you puzzled as to how I could get out of that miserable place?" asked Eric Daran, his smile looking terrifying.Eric Daran held a deep grudge against Steve Hart; he always wanted to be in this situation, where Steve was right in front of him and he could exact his revenge for the time he spent locked up."No need to wonder, with my family's influence, they could get me out as easily as flipping their hand. The prison term was merely a formality, you scoundrel!" exclaimed Eric Daran.Steve Hart glanced at Agatha, wondering if Agatha already knew that Eric had been released from his sentence.Agatha shook her head
Amid the confusion felt by Eric Daran, someone from the crowd suddenly approached him.It was Alan Wilson, Eric's friend who had once claimed to be the owner of Steve Hart's Bugatti Chiron."Eric, you're finally back?" asked Alan Wilson.Aware of his friend's presence, Eric immediately inquired about the source of his confusion.Eric wanted to know why every student there seemed to praise Steve rather than criticize him; it seemed illogical because it had never been this way before.With hesitation, Alan Wilson said, "Oh, maybe you don't know after being away for so long... no... I mean, in jail..."Frowning, Eric was surprised that his friend knew about his time in prison. He had spread false rumors about going abroad to save his dignity."Damn, did someone tell you about my whereabouts all this time?" Eric asked curiously.Alan Wilson finally glanced at Steve Hart, reluctant to admit he had heard it from him.Eric quickly realized the situation; with just one look from his friend, h
Just as Eric Daran had seemed to fear Steve's dominance, a strong instinct suddenly arose in Steve's chest. Seeing that the people who once despised him were now beginning to anticipate his existence, Steve felt the need to increase the potential for dominance that he could develop.That is why, a few days after Eric Daran's defeat, Steve invited Helena and Aria to Belvoir Mansion.Steve had called the two of them there because he had an urgent need related to the mission he had just received, for which the two of them were most likely the most appropriate people to help him. Coincidentally, the mission he had to carry out at the moment was the same one he wanted to do.[The mission raises prestige, leave the Host's miserable life behind completely and become a completely different person. The host's balance will be increased to 1 billion dollars as a reward for mission success]Steve looked at the system message regarding his mission, he already had an idea of what needed to be done
After seeing Steve Hart's presence at the party, Agatha immediately had the urge to confirm what she had just seen."Agatha, where are you going?" asked Callista Cattegirn, she found it strange that Agatha suddenly wanted to leave her.Agatha ignored Callista's words, she quickly stepped to where Steve was before."Where is he, wasn't he here just now? Or, am I just looking at it wrong?" Agatha muttered to herself.Agatha Cattegirn did not find Steve Hart among the crowd of people attending the party. In fact, Agatha was very sure that her vision could not be wrong."Damn, am I even starting to hallucinate now?" Agatha was full of questions, worried that this was what was happening to her.The figure of Steve Hart had been occupying Agatha's mind for some time now, this was due to the anxiety Agatha felt about not wanting a divorce.Amidst the crowd of people attending the party, Agatha noticed that several people she knew were now walking towards her.Agatha recognized one of them ve
The Cattegirn family, who had lost their weapon to fight against Steve Hart, ultimately had to surrender. They tried to figure out ways to calm Steve Hart's anger, which was now glaring at them so sharply."Darn it, what's happening? Are we going to lose all our assets?""What are you talking about? We wouldn't lose everything if we had just accepted Steve Hart's offer from the beginning. If we did, at least Steve Hart would have kindly let us continue enjoying all those assets.""You're right, we messed up."Almost the entire Cattegirn family agreed that their stubbornness had indeed led to losses. Their refusal to submit to Steve Hart now was leading them to ruin."Uncle Jason, please do something.""That's right, Brother Jason. If necessary, tell Steve Hart that we accept his offer.""I agree, at least that's the only way for us not to end up living as beggars after daring to offend him."All the other members of Cattegirn family began pleading with Jason and Olivia to resolve the
"Am I late?"A beautiful girl entered as if nothing had happened, casually approaching Steve to join Brandon in standing by Steve Hart's side."I, Helena Halbert, will represent the Halbert family in expressing support for Steve Hart. Whatever happens here, even if it means offending the Bridge family, the Halbert family will do its best to prove its seriousness in support," Helena said loudly so that everyone there could hear her."Helena, what do you mean? Why is the Halbert family doing this? Does that scumbag deserve your support like this?" Mark Bridge asked, not expecting Brandon alone to support Steve Hart, let alone Helena.Mark, who initially believed he could stubbornly make Agatha his fiancée, suddenly doubted whether this was worth it or not.Mark might still have confidence in handling the Lee family easily, but if the Halbert family also intervened, then this was a different story.The Bridge family might be strong and surpass the other two influential families in Avebur
BAM!Steve Hart's punch landed squarely on Mark's chin, causing Mark to stagger before falling because he wasn't prepared for it."Damn it! How dare you!""Everyone, move to protect Mr. Mark right now!""Stay away from Mr. Mark, hit him if necessary if he keeps trying to resist!"Quite a few people in the living room reacted strongly to Steve Hart's punch. Steve Hart didn't recognize who they were, but he could guess that they had come with Mark."Darn, for someone who dares to try to put your hands on my wife, you're quite the coward," Steve Hart said to Mark.Mark Bridge heard this and immediately ordered them to stop. Mark didn't want them to get involved because it would hurt his pride."Haha, you can go," Mark said, rising from his fall."Mr. Mark, are you okay?""Mr. Mark, why are you stopping us from teaching him a lesson?""Mr. Mark, that scumbag has gone too far, he should at least feel a few broken bones as punishment."The people stopped by Mark seemed dissatisfied; they qu
Steve Hart returned to the living room with confidence, the presence of Mark Bridge not bothering him in the slightest, let alone making him fearful.Simultaneously with Steve Hart's appearance, Agatha followed closely behind him. Agatha seemed to be hiding behind Steve Hart, afraid of every person in the living room, not wanting to feel the hateful gazes from them due to her sudden change of decision.Initially, Agatha had agreed to her engagement, pressured by her family to make that decision. Seeing her suddenly change her mind naturally angered every Cattegirn family member present.The Cattegirn family felt betrayed by Agatha, their sole rescuer, if only Agatha hadn't suddenly turned to side with Steve Hart like she was doing now."Agatha, what is the meaning of all this?!""Agatha, didn't you already agree to this engagement?!""Agatha, are you insane to decide to side with him and plan to disrupt your engagement with Mark?!"Each member of the Cattegirn family present asked ang
Steve's sudden entrance truly succeeded in catching the entire household off guard. The living room was indeed bustling with activity, mostly from the Cattegirn family, but there were also quite a few unfamiliar faces that Steve didn't know."Am I interrupting your event?" Steve Hart asked, his tone piercingly cold to those who heard it.Steve's question was not well-received by most people there; one of them even approached Steve with an angry expression.Olivia Cattegirn, Steve's mother-in-law, approached him and promptly pulled him away from the living room."What wicked plans do you have by coming here?!" Olivia exclaimed loudly, simultaneously slapping Steve's hand.Steve raised his eyebrows; he remembered vividly how just a few days ago, his mother-in-law seemed so hesitant and even afraid of him. Now, that fear seemed to have vanished, and Olivia appeared to be back to treating Steve as she pleased.Steve didn't dwell on Olivia's change in attitude. However, he already knew the
In the luxurious courtyard of the Cattegirn family mansion, Steve could see it bustling with invited guests, all of whom seemed surprised by his presence, as if his arrival was the last thing they expected."What's he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be kicked out?""Maybe he's here to deal with his divorce from Agatha. Just let it be, there's no need to pay him any mind."Steve overheard the nearby conversations clearly, which only fueled his anger.Steve knew exactly why they were all gathered at his wife's family home. He had heard it from Brandon that the Cattegirn family was secretly attempting to arrange a marriage for Agatha behind his back."Agatha hasn't even divorced me yet, and you're all rushing to make decisions," Steve Hart muttered.Steve questioned what the Cattegirn family truly thought of him, realizing how much they were belittling him and disregarding his existence.Steve could entertain such thoughts because the marriage arrangement the Cattegirns were attempting
Having to endure the barrage of punches from Steve Hart, Howard, accustomed to instilling fear and commanding respect from others, suddenly found himself questioning his own abilities.This dealt a severe blow to Howard's pride. His confidence waned, along with his courage. Confronting Steve Hart, who stood before him, Howard realized the extent of his terror, rendering him powerless against Steve's onslaught."W-Wait, please cease hitting me," Howard pleaded softly, gazing at Steve Hart, yet Steve appeared disinclined to comply."Why should I acquiesce to your request?" Steve countered.Howard clenched his teeth, feeling overwhelmed by it all, then erupted vehemently, "Enough, you lunatic!"Howard's shout managed to stun Steve Hart for a moment. Seeing an opportunity, Howard immediately tried to break free from Steve Hart before running as fast as he could to escape from there.Steve just watched Howard running away from him, he had no desire to chase him, thinking it would just be a
After hearing the disrespectful words spewing from Steve Hart's mouth, Howard Harris immediately took steps to attack Steve Hart.Howard attempted to strike Steve Hart with all his might, intending to make Steve Hart fall with a single blow."Damn, do you even know who I am?" Howard asked as he swung his fist.Howard's punch was easily handled by Steve Hart, who dodged it effortlessly, almost as if he had done it without even trying.Howard Harris didn't give up after Steve Hart successfully avoided his first punch. He immediately tried to swing another punch, this time aiming for Steve Hart's abdomen.Steve quickly leaped backward before the punch could land on his abdomen, once again successfully evading Howard's attempted punch."You're quite impressive," Howard Harris said.Steve Hart smirked, "I could do it because your punch was too weak, there's nothing to boast about in that."Howard Harris glared at Steve Hart sharply, suspecting that Steve didn't know who he was to dare say
Steve Hart left the hospital with a wide smile on his face, not expecting his plan to instill a sense of remorse in Daniel to go so smoothly, but everything went according to his expectations.The $10 billion now in his pocket was evidence of his success, making Steve even more excited to step into a brighter future.The success of making Daniel realize his mistake didn't satisfy Steve. He felt there was one more thing he needed to do, which was to get an answer from the Cattegirn family regarding his offer.After a few days had passed, Steve felt it was enough time for his in-laws to decide on his offer. This prompted him to drive his car to the main house of the Cattegirn family to get the awaited answer.Steve arrived there with high hopes that his in-laws would accept his offer, especially since he made the offer solely for the happiness of Agatha, his wife.On his way to his wife's family house, Steve saw a girl who seemed quite familiar to him.The location where Steve saw the g
