The employees stood in place as Jack followed by the bodyguards walked in front of them. They all put on their best smiles with their bodies bent low. Among them was a woman with a different expression.She wasn't smiling, but her face held a deep sadness. She was even quietly wiping away her tears.'Jack,' she said regretfully.Exactly, that woman was Sophie. When Jack was still some distance away from where she was standing, Sophie poked her head out to see him. She was eager to greet Jack and gave him her best smile. However, when the two of them got close and Jack was right in front of her, Sophie was slapped by reality.She still had no idea that her destiny would be this sad. Every second passed with growing regret.Sophie realized that the Jack who walked past her was not the Jack she used to know. The man who was often called a loser by Sophie's friends was now a director at Big Roodgroup Company. Not only that, but Jack is the sole heir to the entire Roodenburg family fortune

Tonight the employees at StarIn Shine Hotel were very busy. They were making preparations for the arrival of a very important person."Make sure everything is perfect! I don't want the slightest flaw! Young Master must have the best service possible." Robert Lechter even gave direct directions.Normally Robert would let the hotel manager handle everything. As the best hotel in the city, there were naturally many important people who chose StarIn Shine Hotel as their temporary residence on certain occasions. It's not just about the charming rooms, the hotel also provides a variety of delicious dishes complete with luxurious facilities.So, this is not the first time the hotel has had important guests. So, why did Robert Lechter step in to welcome tonight's guests?"Who's coming? Mr. Lechter looks very excited. He made sure of everything from the beginning himself." An employee whispered, asking his colleague. He was surprised because usually the hotel owner would only make the final co

A Rolls-Royce Phantom entered the courtyard of StarIn Shine Hotel. Robert, who got a report from the security guard about the arrival of the luxury car, rushed out. He even ran towards the main door of the hotel.Robert gave his best smile when he saw the Roodenburg family logo on the license plate. He silently said, 'Young Master Roodenburg, you have finally arrived.'For a moment Matthew's message flashed through his head. Robert's eyebrows knitted together instantly. He contacted the head guard at his hotel to increase the guard against suspicious people.Shaking off his worries, Robert smiled broadly again when the car Jack was traveling in pulled up. A well-built man got out of the car and opened the door for Jack.Everyone's eyes were on the door that the bodyguard opened. There were legs in blue trousers with shiny loafers sticking out.Everyone was tense!The aura emanating from Young Master Roodenburg was so strong. Even though the man hadn't even gotten off completely.And,

Jack smiled wryly. Seeing the change in Donald's facial expression, he could guess what was on his mind."Good, it seems you've remembered me, Mr. Pasmod. Please have a seat. Consider this sumptuous dinner as compensation for that illicit suitcase."Donald Pasmod gritted his teeth. He shot Jack a glare as he sat down in the chair that had been reserved for him.'Apparently Tom Roodenburg's grandson is even crazier than the old man. How dare he talk like that in front of me! How dare he admit his mistake to me! Did he think the suitcase contained toys? I've lost millions of dollars because of him. He also killed Berry!'Inwardly Donald kept saying, 'Damn! If I had known he was the same person as the pizza courier, I wouldn't have asked to meet here!' He looked at George and Zac who were standing beside Jack.Looking at Donald's hardened jaw, Jack's face remained calm. He placed both hands on the table. Smiling, he said, "What is it, Mr. Pasmod? Do you regret choosing to have dinner her

Donald's statement made Jack's heart race. He didn't expect that Donald would ask for his grandfather's life. Even so, Jack tried to contain his shock. His face remained calm.Jack smiled. "Your little request is impossible, Mr. Pasmod."Donald leaned back in his chair. He made a disappointed face. "I had expected that. But listen to my reasons for asking for Tom Roodenburg's life. The truth is, he has taken a lot from me. I don't like making enemies, I really don't lie. That's why I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs."The drug mafia man continued, "But that grandfather of yours likes to meddle in other people's business. I never meddle in his business, but he meddles in mine. So, what can I do but make him an enemy? But, he really was a very strong enemy. And in the end, I was the one who went to jail."Jack just listened silently to Donald's story. He didn't interrupt or give any response."Going to jail wasn't the end of the world. But it became a big problem because m

"Warning."A frown appeared on Donald's forehead. He didn't understand the meaning of Jack's one-word answer. Instead of a warning, wouldn't the lavish dinner be more appropriately called a warm welcome?A warm welcome from an enemy was still something to be wary of, but it was too much to call it a warning.'He even asked his bodyguard to pull back the gun pointed at me.'Donald squinted. He tried to guess the meaning behind Jack's words, but didn't find the right answer. He then asked, "What do you mean?""I know, you're after me. Of course that's true because Donald Pasmod won't forget anything that has cost him."Donald smiled slightly. "You seem to know a lot about me.""Hahaha, I'm actually just self-conscious. I know I've made a big mistake by taking your suitcase, Mr. Pasmod." Jack chuckled. "Actually, just like you, I don't like making enemies either. If we can live in peace, why make a fuss?"Donald was getting more and more clueless about what Jack was really trying to tell

"Alright, alright, I won't push anymore." Donald put the super-premium red wine back into the bag.Jack stood up from his seat, followed by Donald. He extended a hand to Donald while his left hand remained in his pants pocket."Goodbye, Mr. Pasmod," Jack said as Donald shook his hand. He gave a meaningful smile.Donald tightened his handshake as he shook his head, "I don't like the sound of goodbye, Young Master. It doesn't sound cool. Besides, you are a brilliant young man. It was a pleasure talking to you. That means, it is appropriate for this meeting to be repeated in the future. So, I prefer to say, see you again, Young Master."Jack didn't comment. He just smiled. That made his bodyguards look at each other. Why was Jack being so cold to Donald now?George and Zac were very curious!"You guys," Jack called, making his two bodyguards stop their curiosity.George and Zac stepped forward to approach Jack. "Yes, Young Master," they said after bowing respectfully."Take Mr. Pasmod do

Matthew got out of the car. He walked quickly over to George and Zac. He couldn't wait for reassurance because everything was too abstract."Mr. Matthew," George followed by Zac bowed respectfully to the deputy director of Big Roodgroup."Tell me what happened in the dining room earlier? Your story is too difficult to understand, George."George and Zac took turns explaining the chronology. The longer they explained, the more wrinkles appeared on Matthew's forehead.While the serious dialog was going on, Robert who saw Matthew from inside the glass wall of the building immediately came out to say hello.Matthew was an important and honorable person. Robert wanted to show off his success in serving the young master."Mr. Matthew," Robert called when he had just passed through the main door.Seeing Robert's figure approaching, Matthew's face looked angry. "Look, Robert is here!"Matthew's reaction surprised Robert. Holding back his fear, he asked, "M-master, w-what happened?" It looked

The moon was perfectly round. From the attic of Greenroad Villa, the wind made the tops of the cypress trees look like they were rubbing against the full moon. There was coffee steaming in two white cups on the wooden table. A burly hand seemed to pick up one of the cups. "It's beautiful," Claire said after her husband took a sip of coffee. She admired the night view of the place. Jack shook his head. "There is something more beautiful than this." Claire said with a beaming face. "Really?" "'Yup." Jack took another sip of his homemade coffee. "Tell me quickly. I want to see it tomorrow." Claire was getting excited. "Why wait until tomorrow?" "So, I can see it now?" "Of course!" Claire clapped her hands happily. "Where can I see it?" She pulled her chair closer to Jack. "Go to the room." Claire who was listening to her husband intently furrowed her brows. However, she still said, "Then?" "When you stand in front of the mirror, look ahead. It really is the most beautiful vie

People were surprised by Jack's reaction to what Claire had done, and Claire herself was no exception. From the time she knew Jack until they decided to get married, Jack had never yelled at her, except when she made a mistake.'Then, what did I do wrong?' Claire thought to herself as she looked at her husband.Some of the ladies in the guest seats also didn't expect the young master to yell at his wife. They held their chests in shock. In their opinion, what Claire did was right.Those impudent people deserved two or three more slaps. Some of the guests even wanted to join in grabbing their hair.If Claire was shocked, Lady was not. Although Claire's slap made her cheek hurt, she was glad to know that the young master was quick to yell at his wife for being rude. That meant, she still had a chance. Who knew what chance Lady was referring to."Young Master," Matthew said feeling the need to defend Claire. He thought, perhaps his employer had misunderstood. However, before he had a cha

Undeniably, the aura emanating from Jack made the four women depressed. They seemed to clutch at their own clothes to hide their trembling hands in fear."Lady," Jack called out as the four women fell wordlessly silent.Lady forced herself to smile. "I am, Young Master."Jack laughed to hear Lady, who had often made fun of him as a loser, now addressing him with such a title, and spoken in a gentle tone."You insist on seeing me. Tell me, after this, what do you want?" Jack stuffed both hands into his pockets.To be honest, Jack's changeable reactions, sometimes looking angry, sometimes so friendly, confused Lady. She was well aware that Jack had every right to be angry. And she would accept whatever Jack would do.Lady briefly turned her head to the right and left to see the expressions on her friends' faces. She was sure that the expression on her face now was not much different from theirs; fear, anxiety, mixed with an expression of regret.Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees i

The guards delayed dragging Sophie and her friends out because they heard authoritative words from a man. It was an utterance they couldn't possibly ignore.That's right, it was Jack himself who had restrained the guards from arresting the female troublemakers. Now, the place seemed to freeze. Everyone watched Jack's calm face as they wondered what would happen next."What's he going to do?" asked Gary as he watched Jack walk to the edge of the stage after asking his wife for a moment. Although Gary was only watching from the television screen, his breath caught in his throat.As someone who had a lot of blame on Jack, Gary was naturally worried about his life. He began to understand the bad things that kept happening to him, although it wasn't as bad as what happened to David, Gary felt frustrated with his life that kept going downhill.

That one shout managed to provoke the other guests. Now the place was filled with calls for Young Master Roodenburg to kiss his wife.Both of Claire's cheeks flushed at the sound. She even removed her arms from Jack's neck, turning toward the audience with her head slightly bowed.Jack sighed seeing his wife like that. He brought his face closer to Claire's, making the audience stop their exclamations.Everyone was tense waiting for what the Young Master would do."Don't worry. I won't do it in public," Jack whispered so quietly that only Claire could hear him.She turned to her husband with a bright face. Meanwhile, the audience was still waiting for the young master to do what they expected.In that moment of silence, there was suddenly a shout from the back row of seats."YOUNG MASTER!!!"The people were startled. They looked back, to the source of the voice, to see the appearance of the woman who had so boldly called out to Young Master Roodenburg.Now, they were staring at a woma

Happiness was evident on the faces of the bride and groom, their families, and the invited guests, except for the four friends sitting in the back seats.Sophie, who had been shedding tears, now hugged Lady to hide her sobs after seeing Jack kiss Claire on the forehead. Sophie still remembered clearly that during the time she and Jack were dating, Jack had never asked for a kiss from her. Whereas when she was David's girlfriend, he asked her for everything, even on their first day of dating.Indeed, Sophie often sees Jack as a loser even when it comes to romance. While she gives David very high marks, and considers him to be a real passionate man.'But look at it now.

"Hearing his voice, it is clear that Young Master is a kind and humble person. All of us who have the opportunity to attend this event feel very happy and honored. But Young Master instead calls himself the lucky one to be able to greet us. We really are lucky. Even if someone were to buy a wedding invitation from Young Master at a fantastic price, I would confidently refuse it. This is truly the most precious moment of heartbreak." Grace smiled widely with both feelings of happiness and sadness. Her eyes were fixed on the large screen on the right side of the stage. The screen displayed the figure of the masked man who had captured the attention of everyone in Rhineland.Two large screens had been set up beside the stage to help the backseat audience get a clear view of the proceedings. What was shown on the screens was what was seen on the television screens as well.Grace and her entourage were a little disappointed that they were seated at the very back, but they were quite self-a

"If this was the old David, I would believe it. But David, now you even only live in this cramped boarding house. There's no way you can meet a woman from the upper class." Gary picked up a potato chip and chewed it casually. There was no longer any worry or fear of offending David. David's arrogance had faded since he fell into poverty. "Maybe David saw her when he was finance manager at Big Roodgroup." Gary said. However, David remained unmoved. He didn't take his eyes off the television. The frown on his forehead grew. "David." Even Gary's soft call startled David. Shaking his head, David said, "There's no mistaking it, she's that woman." Ryan asked, "What are you talking about?" "I'm pretty sure, she, Young Master Roodenburg's bride is that rude woman who works at King Pizza. She scolded me once. She yelled at me and Sophie. She told us not to go inside the store." Gary and Ryan looked at each other briefly before laughing together. The small room was now filled with their a

Lady took Sophie's arm."I didn't realize that the wedding invitation was real. It felt so... sudden, too sudden. It's a good thing you forced me to come, otherwise I would have regretted missing my idol's happy event even more, though I probably wouldn't have cried about it for long." Lady continued. She hugged Sophie while acting like she was sobbin
