Claire hung up the call with growing misgivings. "I'll call the police if they dare to mess in my room or hurt my Jack!"Not long after, Claire tiptoed to the sound of a knock on the door. "It's me, Jack."Claire stood up to open the door. "You idiot, why are you knocking? I almost fainted from the shock of the knock!"Jack grimaced, showing his rows of white and clean teeth. His boss never locked the door to his office. However, as a polite employee, he felt the need to knock anyway. Claire pulled Jack's hand to enter the room. She told Jack to sit in his chair while she stood beside him. "Check the CCTV in the visitor's area," Claire ordered, making Jack nod and enlarge the screen she was referring to."There they are, sitting at table number 11. Those two look strange, don't they? They've been looking around the shop like they're looking for something. Are they looking for you, Jack?"Jack was still silent. His eyes stared intently at the computer screen, watching the two men dre

Claire rushed back to her room. She had to run because she felt so depressed."Jack!" Claire immediately closed the door she had just opened. She was still standing behind the door, her chest heaving, her breathing ragged as if she had just run from a ghost.Of course, Claire's sudden arrival took Jack by surprise. He stood up and approached her. "What's wrong?""Jack, we were right. Those two mysterious men were looking for you. They even have a sketch of your face. Oh my God, what should we do now?" Claire held her head. She smiled as an idea came to her mind. "I know. I'll just call the police. Let them come here and protect you."Claire had taken out her cell phone to dial the number of the local police station, but Jack snatched her phone away. "Jack, what are you doing?" asked Claire in a high tone."Claire, I haven't confirmed it yet. Besides, if you report now, there's not enough evidence to accuse them of being criminals. What if we guessed wrong?" He took Claire's hand and

This time Jack started his job by delivering pizzas to the neighborhood of his elite housing estate, SweetRoad City. He pedaled his bike, still feeling uneasy.Jack was sure that sooner or later, Donald Pasmod's men would find him!This hunch was not without reason. Jack had lived for years in difficult circumstances. He used to do everything to survive. Especially after his nanny, Jane Marshall died of illness. He had to work hard to eat.And Jack wasn't the only one. There are many people who share his fate, living in deep poverty.Jack often saw people like Donald Pasmod taking advantage of the poor to do illicit work, such as joining robber gangs, committing fraud, selling imitation or illegal goods, selling themselves, and selling humans, including drug trafficking.And those who have power over these people will not just let them go. That is why it is difficult for someone who has fallen into such things to be free and live as before. Not only that, but people like Donald Pasmo

After handing over the money from the customer to the cashier, Jack went to the kitchen to check the order box. Before he left for SweetRoad City earlier, three papers were still containing other order lists. Jack smiled because there was only one paper left in the order box, and that was to be delivered to another area that was not his responsibility. "Catherine, aren't there any other orders that need to be delivered now? I think I saw a list earlier that needs to be delivered around here."Catherine was a waitress who was also in charge of keeping track of customers who bought pizza through the delivery service. She put down her pen before nodding. "I've asked another courier to deliver it, Jack."Jack's eyebrows knitted together. "Why can't they wait for me to deliver?" Sometimes the reason for the customer's impatience made the couriers deliver the pizza to a different region.Catherine shook her head. She asked Jack to come to her. "Look, you have fans, man!" She smiled as she

Jack felt that something was wrong. However, he held onto the steering wheel of the bike and pushed it into the yard. When he passed through the gate, he turned his head for a moment to see the expression on the security guard's face."I'll drop you off, Jack." The security guard walked beside Jack with a meaningful smile. The security guard told him a little about the owner of the house. "My master's name is Berry Ansley. He has many children in this house. They all live in peace and harmony, with nothing lacking. And Mr. Ansley feels very happy if a guest comes, it will be his own entertainment in the midst of his busy work. Especially if that guest is the person who has been making his daughter happy, Mr. Ansley will be even happier."Jack smiled for a moment. To be honest, the house was too quiet for the children. As everyone knew, even one child could make a museum very crowded with all the babble and questions that never ran out of his little mouth. Especially if there were man

Jack scanned the athletic men. Their gazes looked very intimidating. Even if they smiled, it didn't change the tense atmosphere in the room.Not stopping there, someone then closed the main door quite forcefully.Bam!Jack tiptoed slightly in shock. He turned his head towards the door to see who the person was who dared to startle him.Apparently, it was another athletic man. He swung a fist into his own palm, as if to warn Jack.Jack tried to remain calm. He looked back at Berry Ansley. Her face, which had been calm, now looked frightened. His voice also sounded a little shaky as he asked, "Sir, why is the door closed? Then, who are these people?"Berry laughed again. He thought it was a good day after taking things too seriously for a while. Berry's laughter was followed by his men. Their laughter echoed. If the other people in the room didn't have enough courage, it was very likely that they would pee their pants out of fear."Are you afraid of them? Calm down. They are my childre

Berry Ansley's grip tightened around the gun, his expression unreadable as he faced off against Jack. The tension in the room was thick, with everyone on edge and ready for anything.Jack, in turn, kept a firm grip on the hostage, while his eyes darted around the room to keep an eye on Berry's men."You don't love your son, do you? You're not willing to give up the gun?"Berry's lips twisted into a sardonic smile. "And why should I?"Jack's grip on the hostage tightened, sending a shiver of fear down the man's spine. "You have a lot to lose, Mr. Ansley. Your son's life is on the line."Berry's men exchanged nervous glances, unsure of what to do. The situation was rapidly spiraling out of control, and they knew that one wrong move could spell disaster."Do you think he's serious?" one of them whispered."I can't say for sure.""I don't have a good feeling about this," one of Berry's men muttered under his breath."Yeah, me neither."Berry remained silent, his gaze fixed on Jack. But in

Before Jack could finish his count, a gunshot startled everyone. Jack could hear the man in his grip moaning in pain at the hot lead that hit him. The poor man also called out his master's name in a hoarse voice. But that wasn't Jack's doing! Jack's index finger was still silent, even though it had been idly circling the trigger all along. So, who shot Berry's men? "I accept your service, but that's it. Goodbye, Christopher." That's right, the person who shot Berry's men was none other than Berry himself. His action was very unexpected. Even his men, who had known him for a long time, didn't think Berry would do it. They only thought that the worst thing that could happen was for the master to let Jack shoot Christoper. But as it turned out... 'Only Mr. Pasmod can pressure me!' hissed Berry inwardly with satisfaction. He smiled wryly at the arrogance that hadn't diminished in the slightest. He felt victorious because Jack couldn't influence, let alone command him. "Like you

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

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

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
