Everyone tensed up waiting for Jack to continue his sentence. Previously Jack had deliberately taken a pause to cause more anxiety in Jeremy and Jessie's hearts. "Your punishment is to never show your face in front of me, otherwise I will beat you to death myself." Jack's words were delivered in an ordinary tone, but his words managed to make everyone feel very intimidated, especially of course Jeremy and Jessie. Jeremy and Jessi looked at each other. They swallowed hard as one. It felt like there was a big boulder stuck in their throat. Honestly, the punishment Jack gave them was very heavy. They still wanted to meet and talk to the young master nicely. They even hoped to have a relationship again after this humiliating incident. However, did they still dare to ask for more after receiving the young master's generosity? Jeremy was seen clenching his fists. But this time he was not doing so out of a great sense of anger. Jeremy was like that because he was gathering courage in hi

Claire's heart skipped a beat at Jack's question. She quickly turned her face away to avoid the young master's gaze.Jack smiled when he saw his best friend close her eyes tightly. However, he didn't think to urge Claire to answer his question quickly. Jack let Claire fill the room with silence.Undoubtedly, Claire was having a major nervous attack. She did spend a lot of time with Jack, telling him everything, also without hesitation giving him a warm hug. However, it was all done under the status of 'friendship'.It can be said that there was nothing Claire kept secret from Jack, except for one thing, which was her feelings. She didn't know when she fell in love with Jack, but she didn't dare to hope to be his lover from the beginning.Everything was more than enough for Claire.So, when Claire was faced with a situation like this, she didn't know whether to prance for joy or do anything else.Meanwhile, Jack had been very patient waiting for Claire's answer. He had been waiting for

In the car Jack was driving, Claire smiled as she stared at the premium kobe steak on her lap. Actually, Jack had asked her to put the steak on the front, but Claire wanted to hold it."How long are you going to stare at that steak?"Claire looked back at Jack for a moment. Claire didn't say anything and only threw a smile in response. After that, she returned her gaze to the gift for Uncle Bob from her fiancé, Jack Roodenburg."How would father react if he knew that you were Young Master Roodenburg?"Jack smiled warmly. "Just wait until I surprise him tomorrow. For one thing, I can't go to dinner with you and Uncle Bob. You're off work tomorrow. I'm going to throw a party at my house, especially for that exemplary carpenter!"Claire adjusted her sitting position so that she could face Jack more freely. She realized one thing. "You haven't told me where you actually live after leaving Ross' boarding house.""O, in that case, tomorrow will be a surprise for you too. I'll pick you two u

Claire bit her lip as she walked back and forth by the door. Every now and then she scrunched up her waist as she looked ahead, no one was coming."Claire, it's still morning. The morning air is very nice, right? So stop pacing there. You're blocking the fresh air from coming into the house." Uncle Bob continued reading the newspaper.Claire snorted in annoyance. "Dad, your daughter is worried, but you're worried about the air.""That's nothing new. You worry every day. It's still early in the morning. Who are you waiting for? You've been dressed up like you're going out since morning. Are you working overtime at King Pizza?"Claire didn't answer. She stood in the doorway with her hands tightly interlocked. Her eyes did not stop watching the road.However, a few seconds later, Claire ran into the house. She sat beside her father. She wrapped her hands around her father's arm while resting her head on his shoulder.Of course Uncle Bob was surprised. He turned his head to look at Claire

Jack returned to the car with two glasses of hot green tea and a paper bag containing two buns. However, his smile disappeared when he saw that Claire wasn't in her seat."Uncle, where's your daughter?"Uncle Bob got out of the car. He took the two cups of tea from Jack's hands and put them in the car. "She went to the park when she saw people crowding on the bridge. I asked her to wait for you. But Claire left quickly because there was a little girl crying there."Without wasting any more time, Jack immediately walked towards the park. He caught up with Claire after putting the paperbag into the car. Not wanting to be left behind, Uncle Bob also followed him.As Jack got closer to the large bridge that crossed over the river, the sound of a child crying became louder. In between cries, the woman holding her tried to calm her down, as did the man standing next to them.Meanwhile, seeing Jack and his father walking over, Claire who was standing not far from the crowd of people, immedia

A distinctive sound was heard as Jack's body hit the surface of the river after he slid into it.People immediately pulled over to get a better look at Jack. They couldn't believe that Jack actually swam into the river.Meanwhile, at what Claire said to Jack, he got a warm hug from the little girl."Don't worry, my boyfriend will definitely try hard to save Pipo."The little girl nodded with a hopeful smile. She asked to be held by her mother again, while looking towards the river.Now everyone was tensely waiting for Jack to reappear from the river. However, that didn't happen. It had been quite a while since Jack had gone to the river, but he hadn't appeared until now.Claire began to bite her own lips. Especially when she heard the people who spoke badly earlier, now starting their bad words again."Look, that crazy young man is really getting his comeuppance for not listening to our warnings. As of now, he hasn't been seen. Whether he froze in the cold or drowned because he can't

With a bright face, the little girl received her doll. She hugged the doll while jumping up and down with joy.Everyone applauded, including those who had belittled and insulted Jack. With big smiles, they were happy to see that Jack had survived his noble act.Many of them admired Jack in their hearts, especially when they found out that underneath the white shirt, Jack had muscular muscles, a broad chest, and six-pack abs! The water made the shirt stick to Jack's body, showing off his impressive muscles!"Jack," called Claire with two cups of hot tea and her father's thick jacket in her hands. She had purposely brought all the tea for Jack.Jack stood up and smiled.Both of Claire's shoulders dropped at the sight of Jack. She must have gone limp from the relief of knowing her boyfriend was okay.Uncle Bob quickly took his jacket and put it on Jack."Drink up, Jack." It was Claire's turn to hand Jack a glass of hot tea."I bought this for you. But it's okay, I'll drink it."People re

Everyone fell silent. They looked at each other, to confirm the shock on each other's faces.Young Master Roodenburg was not an unfamiliar name to them. They had often heard or read news about the most mysterious person in Rhineland. Even if the news was not accompanied by pictures, photos, videos that directly showed what Young Master Roodenburg looked like, Young Master Roodenburg's generosity and humility had long made them fall in love.Then, was the person they had been admiring, even idolizing, the young man who saved a teddy bear for a little girl's happiness?"A-are you sure?" A woman who had spoken ill of Jack tried to reconfirm. Her heart became uneasy all of a sudden.The little girl's mother looked at Jack's business card again. Then, she nodded confidently and said, "And here it says the address is Greenroad Villa.""Then there is no mistake, that young man is indeed Young Master Roodenburg. Greenroad Villa is a vast and luxurious estate. There is a magnificent building 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.

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.

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
