"Of course," Jack replied firmly. "That's the truth," he continued.Claire's face became as pale as paper. She looked back to see the doorman. Her chest was pounding with worry that Jack's words could be heard by someone else."Jack, don't talk carelessly. Do you think the Roodenburg family will keep quiet if someone else claims to be Young Master Roodenburg?"Claire held both of Jack's arms before looking at him intently. "Look, even if Young Master Roodenburg's face is unknown to the public right now, don't ever refer to yourself as him. The two of you are very different, like earth and sky. You should know that your actions could jeopardize your safety. It's still lucky if they report you to the police, then you'll be arrested and jailed. But what if they move on their own, kidnap and eliminate you?""Don't think about it too much, Claire. I-""Please," Claire interrupted Jack. She shook her head as she continued, "Don't talk like that anymore. I don't want anything bad to happen t

Jeremy walked around Claire and Jack. "It's surprising that you finally came too, Claire. It doesn't matter if you're late. Your arrival at this reunion alone is history. All the times the reunion was held, you never came with all kinds of excuses." Jeremy stopped in front of Claire. "As your friend, I am relieved to know that you are alive and beautiful. Your appearance is very impressive. There's a good improvement from the appearance of the teenage Claire at school back then. But, to be honest, your appearance is still far below that of my girlfriend." He pointed at the woman beside him. "Oh yeah, this is my girlfriend, Jessie Moores. She is a young entrepreneur in the biometrics field. If you need access control, CCTV, fingerprinting, or anything like that, you can contact my girlfriend. She will definitely send her employees to explain things in more detail. My girlfriend is really amazing." Then, unprompted, Jeremy explained, "At such a young age, my girlfriend already has her

Jeremy became even more excited when he saw Claire's pale face, which was like seeing a ghost. That meant they were covering up something bad.'You won't be able to run away from me!' Jeremy smiled slyly."Actually, my title is-" Jack stopped his sentence because behind the desk, Claire was holding his hand, trying to prevent him from speaking.Seeing Jack turn his head towards Claire, Jeremy was even more eager to urge Jack to tell the truth."No problem Jack, you can say it. No need to feel discouraged or embarrassed. Work is still work. Real men are those who are willing to work. How are you going to support Claire when you get married if you don't have a job? That's why any job is so valuable."Claire's temples twitched at Jeremy's words, which seemed the wisest. But her ex only meant to patronize Jack.'Does he think my Jack is stupid?' Claire hissed inwardly with her hands clenched under the table."Actually, my job is too complicated to explain. Essentially, I have to make sure

To that leading question, Claire replied with a cold face and voice, "Everyone in Rhineland knows about it."'Especially Mr. Jack! No one knows Young Master Roodenburg better than he himself.' Silently, the manservant replied as well. His temples hadn't stopped twitching from witnessing such obvious ridiculousness."He's a very great young man. It's a pity I don't know which Young Master Roodenburg is among the other invited guests. Even after pouring in that much money, he didn't show himself in front of everyone," Jeremy's girlfriend said with admiration."But Claire," Jeremy took a pause after surprising Claire with his sudden call. "Talking about the charity event at Greenroad Villa, I was reminded of one thing.""What is it, darling?" Jeremy's girlfriend gave another lure. "Somehow Jack's face reminded me of someone at the event. Take another look at Jack's face, darling. Doesn't he look a lot like the man who played the piano on stage? The guests were skeptical of his abilities

Before Claire could finish the conjecture in her heart, Jeremy had made an announcement."This man is a pizza delivery boy!!!"Suddenly what Jeremy said made Claire's classmates whisper. They were very surprised because Jack's appearance didn't look like someone from the lower class. On the contrary, what Jack was wearing looked very classy as it was branded items with exorbitant prices."Jeremy, that's impossible. A pizza delivery boy wouldn't be able to afford such a nice suit and shoes. Especially if we look at the watches he used. My salary for one year isn't even enough to buy such a fancy watch." Eleanor tried to defend Jack. As Claire's close friend, she didn't want the man who was introduced as her friend's fiancé to be humiliated like this.More than that, Eleanor knew very well that the items Jack was wearing were genuine!"So you don't trust my boyfriend?" Jessie gyrated her waist, as if challenging Eleanor.Eleanor smiled amusedly. "I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone in t

Everyone became tense. If no one felt like ordering all those dishes, did that mean they had to foot the bill?Truly, they were eager to taste the pleasure of a premium steak. However, if they had to spend a lot of money for it, they could suppress their desires. They could swallow back all the saliva that was coming out of their mouths at the thought of the delicious taste of a premium steak.However, in the midst of the turmoil in everyone's hearts, one word was spoken that sounded so melodious."Me."Claire reflexively covered her gaping mouth with her hand. She looked at Jack with teary eyes due to her mixed feelings.Jack had indeed given her a premium cheese steak, but it was only one serving. And now, there were tens or even hundreds of premium steak portions in front of her.'If this is true, what are you going to pay for this with, Jack?' Claire thought as she swallowed hard.In contrast to Claire who couldn't stop worrying, Eleanor and the rest of Claire's classmates were ve

Claire, who had been looking down while trying to compose herself, now looked up to see Jack's face.'Young Master?' Claire's brow furrowed.Claire's mind flashed back to the conversation between her and Jack at the door. Jack very confidently referred to himself as Young Master Roodenburg. Jack was even about to correct the name that Claire had mentioned to the doorman. However, none of Jack's words were taken seriously. It all sounded like a joke that Jack used to tell to break the ice.'Could it be...'Claire didn't dare to continue her conjecture. She held her chest to make sure her heart was still there. Claire didn't stop staring at Jack's unsmiling face, watching the servants carry out his orders.Claire wasn't the only one in the room who was surprised at the servants' attitude towards Jack. But all his friends were also very surprised. They all stayed in their seats with their minds filled with conjectures.Since the beginning of Jack's appearance, most of Claire's friends h

As Mario Braxton gracefully entered the room, Jeremy couldn't help but stand up immediately to extend his warm greeting. Jessie, following suit, approached the manager as well, adding to the sense of importance that now filled the space.The scene drew curious glances from others in the room, captivated by the sight of Jeremy bowing respectfully before shaking hands with Mario. Despite Mario being several years his junior, Jeremy maintained an air of politeness and admiration, a reflection of the young man's remarkable career achievements.Observing the interaction, Eleanor couldn't help but comment, "Who is that young man? Jeremy seems unusually courteous towards him."Jack, in the know, responded with a knowing smile, "He's the manager of this restaurant."Another friend of Claire's chimed in with insight, "Ah, that explains it. Jeremy's demeanor is often influenced by a person's status, position, and power. If he perceives someone as weak or less privileged, his behavior tends to t

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. Looking at his current situation, it could explain all the bad luck that had befallen him.So, what if his bad luck is still going to continue? What

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

The wedding procession of Young Master Roodenburg and Miss Claire Boutcher has been completed. Now, their friendship had officially become husband and wife with a sacred bond of love. 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

Greenroad Villa was very busy today. The servants were so busy going back and forth taking care of all the needs, especially since the guests had started arriving early.Many special guests came to this most luxurious and phenomenal wedding, such as government officials, artists, conglomerates, and so on. They were very excited considering this was the wedding of the sole heir of the Roodenburg family, the family with the most wealth, popularity and influence.Who would want to miss an invitation to the wedding of the sole heir of the number one high-class family?"To be honest, I'm still traumatized by the events of that charity night." 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
