Unlike in the past, Stacie's cute eyes did nothing to sway Peter.His gaze was cold as he asked, "What are you doing here Miss Williams?"Stacie raised her head and looked at the large mansion before her."I've been monitoring you for the past few days, and I noticed you always come to this house every evening. You live here now?" She asked with undisguised interest and greed in her eyes."What does that have to do with you?" She made a sad face and tried to approach him, but Peter took a step back avoiding her."Have some self respect Miss Williams, we're not that close for you to touch me.""Pete, we've always been close. Don't treat me like a stranger now ""Why shouldn't I regard you as a stranger? That's what you are to me." Stacie bit her lips lowering her head, she conjured up some tears.It had always moved Peter, she didn't believe he could resist her if she cried in front of him.Weeks ago, Peter had suddenly humiliated Joey Winters and made him kneel. He had even brought
Peter was beyond surprised to see them at the hospital.His uncle, George was a respectable looking middle aged man. But he was far from actually being respectable. He was shady man who could even steal his own brother's wealth after his death.His wife Hannah was a fairly attractive woman with cunning eyes.Vivian was standing with them, and next to her was Stacie.Peter's brows furrowed together.Why was there a group of the people he absolutely didn't want to see standing here right now?George looked like a wronged relative who hadn't seen his nephew in years.He walked up to Peter under people's gazes, "Your uncle has been looking forward to the day you'll return home. But you rebelliously took little Lisa and ran away back then." George sighed as if Peter had been an extremely troublesome boy in the past.His wife quickly chimed in, "Pete, your uncle and I have always tried to put you on the right path, but you went rogue on us, you never came back home. Your uncle almost had a
Seeing Peter choicelessly stop in his tracks, George Crox grinned.He knew the boy's weakness was his little sister.Becoming even more confident he stepped forward."If you really want Lisa to have this operation today, you have to agree to all my demands, otherwise be prepared to see your sister remain a cripple for the rest of her life."With a sigh Peter slowly turned around. He could see his uncle's wife secretly rejoicing as if they'd already won. "What demands?" Peter asked experimentally."Hmph, now you know how to listen. If you were this cooperative from the start we wouldn't be making a big fuss here.""First you have to recommend our family to your boss who lives at the golden villas, make sure he's ready to have a business collaboration with us, we don't need too much investment, just two hundred million should be enough.""Secondly, we've been living at the mansion in in the suburbs for a long time, we would like a bigger home. Judging by how your boss stood up for you
After George was certain he'd achieved what he came for, he immediately left the hospital along with everyone who came with him. At this moment one of the hospital staff walked up to him."Sir, please come with me to the operating room to prepare for the surgery."The young nurse eyed Peter, they had been informed that an important person would be coming for the surgery appointment with doctor Flint Collen.Doctor Collen only came to Landville under special summoning, he was a very skilled surgeon that had never once lost a patient in his field.But of course his skills came with astronomical prices. They had expected a high class guest to show up at the hospital this morning, however they had seen a young guy whose family even staged a drama within the hospital hall.Though all the nurses and staff had acted like they didn't exist, they wouldn't interfere in family matters, however it would be a very great gossip topic. The nurse who'd led Peter to the surgery room immediately ret
"Why do you want to know who I am?" Peter asked.Flint seemed to study Peter before suddenly bursting out in laughter."Of course I don't expect you to give away your identity just like that." He stared at Peter in contemplation for a while before asking."Are you from the Stone family in the south, or the Mondridge Family in the west?" Flint asked placing his finger on his chin contemplatively.No one knew the names he was calling, though the capital was the largest city in the country, most people from other cities have no idea about the internal workings or the big families there as some lived in seclusion.One thing was certain, every random family from the capital could step on any of the so called big families in Landville like an ant beneath their feet.Peter had no idea about any of the names Flint mentioned. Both families Flint just mentioned could be able shake up the entire capital. Flint took Peter's silence as refusal to reveal his special identity.That aura...The da
Within a large mansion in the suburbs of Landville, Joey Winters could be seen with his head lowered."Dad, you have to help me, I've become the laughing stock in the city. Everyone laughs and points everytime they see me, you have to help me gain back my glory in this city." Joey cried unable to bear it anymore.The older man before him raised his hand and delivered a harsh slap onto Joey's face, the loud sound echoed within the spacious living room at the Winters mansion."You dare to ask for my help now? You brat, after I warned you to not offend anyone of higher status than us, you still went around the city without caring for our family. I don't mind what you do with your women or if you smear the family's reputation with your notoriety, we had enough money to shut everyone up. But you unfilial son! You've gone as far as to make me lose my company! How dare you ask for my help now?"Joey clenched his fist tightly recalling how Peter had humiliated him in front of all his friends
That night Peter wore his exquisite business suite and headed to the largest branch of paradise hotel.When he arrived, Daniel met him outside at the entrance. "Boss, why did you make such a strange phone call yesterday?" "Because I have someone I want to teach a lesson." Peter replied. He wore his dark mask over his face then headed into the building.Daniel had already prepared the employees at the lobby, all of them were waiting to see the new boss.He had been to the northern branch the last time and a lot of the female employees had been gushing about how extremely attractive he was even though they couldn't completely see his face.When he walked in, all the employees in their uniforms gathered in a line bowing to greet him. Peter strode in and stopped in their midst. "Good evening President." They all echoed.The paradise hotels were a flourishing business, and Peter had now become the president of this hotel chain."I'd like to express my appreciation for all your hard wor
George felt his knees shaking as he stared at the young man sitting regally behind the desk within the office.Was he dreaming?The man in front of him was actually the renowned masked tycoon.The man whose identity the whole city was extremely curious about.Some said he was the son of an extremely wealthy politician from another city.Others said he was the heir of hidden empire.Regardless of everything, a lot of people in the city would do anything to get acquainted with him.While George was salivating greedily in his mind at his extremely good fortune, Vivian was secretly ecstatic.Was her eyes seeing things or was she seeing reality.This was the man everyone was talking about, the man a lot of ladies in Landville wished to even get a glimpse of. He was soon going to be her husband, she had hit a jackpot!"Sir..." George muttered rushing forward then bowed, "It's an amazing honor to be in your presence."Peter who had his hand against his chin looking contemplative snorted lig
