King Pizza shouldn't be closed right now. It's an effective day that the shop usually stays open. But Jack didn't take the day off either.

In fact, after the incident with the thugs on David Guillon's orders, the employees agreed to ask Steve Shatner to close the store first. They needed time to clean up, buy new items to replace the damaged ones, and perhaps change the interior of the store for a new and better atmosphere.

And Steve agreed to the proposal. He even apologized specifically to Jack for causing him trouble at the store. He also thanked Jack profusely for taking the trouble to save King Pizza from further damage.

"No." Jack shook his head. "Everything is fine." He didn't want to burden Claire's mind by telling her what really happened at King Pizza. Taking care of sick people was tiring enough.

"So, you took time off just to come here to give me a cheese steak?"

"Come on, don't be so confident. I came to see Uncle Bob, and you know that well. It's just that, if I don't br

    In the afternoon, Jack had just gotten out of Sunshine Hospital. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, so he and Claire engaged in a lot of conversation, especially when Uncle Bob woke up. They kept chatting until the nurse reprimanded them because Uncle Bob still had to rest a lot.However, in the end, Uncle Bob's jokes made the nurse laugh too. The atmosphere becomes even more broken when Martha comes into the room to greet Jack. They were reminded of the tension that had arisen because of the previous hospital guard, who had not allowed Uncle Bob to be hospitalized."Busy day," Jack said after a sigh. He sat down on the bicycle. He quickly pedaled his bike back to the boarding house.Indeed, after this Jack planned to pack his things at Ross's boarding house. He knew Ross wouldn't just let him leave. At the very least, Jack would have to talk to Ross that he was leaving the place he had been living, and never coming back.Moments later, Jack had arrived at his boa

    "Young Master, are you sure about your plan?" Matthew asked with a worried face as his car pulled up to the Greenroad Villa area.That's right, Jack was indeed going to live in that luxury housing estate. He smiled and replied, "Let grandpa enjoy his old age. I don't want him involved in this. You just do what I say.""Yes, Young Master." Matthew unfastened his seat belt. "Let me open the door, Young Master."Jack raised his hand, making Matthew let go of the car door he had just been holding."I can do it myself.""Alright, then I'll go get and carry your luggage, Young Master.""That's not necessary either. Stay in the car." Jack got out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.Of course Matthew felt awkward for letting his master do things on his own. But, he also didn't dare to refuse. Matthew could not oppose Jack. Therefore, he still sat in front of the steering wheel even though he felt bad.When Jack had closed the trunk after taking his luggage, he returned to the car door. He looked over

    In a grand dining room, there was a large wooden table in the center. On the table were various dishes with appetizing aromas. Just looking at them could make one hungry.What was interesting about the place were the dozens of waiters standing to the right and left of the table. They stood tall in neat formal uniforms. All were calmly waiting for someone very important.Although the servants looked silent, their hearts were beating fast. They were eager to meet the master they had only been talking about without knowing what he looked like.The sound of the doorknob being pressed drew everyone's attention. They looked towards the door and found the butler coming out from there.Bruce cleared his throat. He said, "Welcome, Young Master Roodenburg."Jack came out from behind the door. The butlers' mouths dropped open when they saw Jack who looked so handsome in a singlet shirt and sweatpants. Jack's muscular body looked so good that the servants had to gulp.Bruce cleared his throat aga

    Jack couldn't stop smiling. It felt like he was walking down a path with rocks on its surface, a beautiful and peaceful path in the cool mountains. The wind that blew here seemed to bring peace to the people who passed by.Jack enjoyed the air under the shade of the trees that seemed to shelter him. Amazing!"The best part is that this is all mine. Oh my God, this is amazing! A change of surname, a big change in your life, Jack!" The young man smiled meaningfully as he spoke to himself.Jack's eyes looked around him. A large garden with a variety of crops was showing its results. Then, his gaze fell on a strawberry patch about 300 meters away from where he stood now.Jack ran towards the strawberry patch. He remembered that Uncle Bob loved strawberries, especially fresh ones like the ones growing in his garden."I'll bring Uncle Bob some strawberries. He'll be home today,' Jack thought excitedly about giving his best friend's father a small gift.It didn't take long for Jack to reach

    Jack tugged at one corner of his lips. Then, he stepped forward again, not just one step, but several steps until he cornered Mary."Jack! Stop!" Mary screeched even louder when she had no more room to retreat. If she backed up, she would step on the strawberry plants, and that was strictly forbidden. She worked at Greenroad Villa to supervise the performance of the workers in carrying out their duties in the garden. It would not be good if she damaged the plants there.Because of her loud shouting, Mary made Jack stop stepping. However, when the man stopped, he was already very close to Mary.Mary's eyes stared intently at Jack who was staring at her unblinkingly. Indeed, their faces were no more than an inch apart. At that moment Mary realized one thing, that it turned out that the pizza courier she had been looking down on had a very handsome face. Somehow, Mary only seemed to realize it now.Jack's strong jaw, sharp nose, sharp but warm eyes, thick eyebrows, and naturally moist an

    "Mr. Bruce! Mr. Bruce! Come out quickly! There's a thief here!" a loud shout came from the front."Thief? There's a thief in Greenroad Villa?" Bruce frowned, feeling astonished by what he heard.Let alone thieves, even people with wealth or high positions could not just walk into the estate. Only certain people were allowed to enter the area.Could the thief have sneaked in unnoticed by the guards? It was highly unlikely! In addition to the tight security, there are many surveillance cameras on standby to monitor the area. The guards will not remain silent if they see any suspicious movements. In addition, the walls surrounding the estate are very high. It is not easy to climb or break through because the top of the wall is installed with barbed wire.Then, what kind of babble was someone making out there?"Mr. Bruce, that sounds like Miss Mary's voice. Who was the person she called a thief, sir?"Bruce and the servants had just finished breakfast at the behest of the kind Young Maste

    Mary burst out laughing. What Bruce said was the most ridiculous joke she had ever heard. Strangely, despite her laughter, Mary didn't feel happy. Instead, her heart felt very anxious."Miss Mary, behave yourself! You shouldn't laugh like that after committing a grave sin."In the end, feeling increasingly irritated by Mary's attitude, one of the servants spoke up, "Miss, weren't you waiting for Young Master to come here? Waiting for him to show his face before all of us. And, last night your wish was granted, Young Master finally came and stayed here. Then, why are you acting like this now?""That's right, Miss. Are you going to call your father a thief when he takes a piece of cake from the refrigerator?""What do you mean by talking like that? Why should I call my father a thief? It's his house and what's in it is also his. How ridiculous! How can someone be called a thief when they take what belongs to them!""Exactly! So, stop being silly, Miss Mary," Bruce said."Mr. Bruce, I ap

    Renee looked at the woman in front of her with annoyance. She recalled the harsh words the woman had said to her employer.If it wasn't for Bruce's orders, Renee wouldn't have bothered to look after that woman who was none other than Mary Wexler. That was why she did not stop staring at the fierce woman with a sharp gaze."If it wasn't for respecting Young Master, I might have made a mistake, hitting your mouth that's as spicy as chili!" Renee grumbled with a cynical look.After Renee said that, Mary visibly frowned. The woman opened her eyes slowly.Mary was surprised by what she saw. The place looked unfamiliar to her.'Is this a prison?' Mary thought while blinking her eyes several times.Her guess was not without reason. It was possible that Bruce had called the police on Jack's orders. And, since Mary had made the grave mistake of insulting and slandering Jack, she deserved to be severely punished.'But as a prison, this place is too beautiful and cozy. There can't be luxurious b

    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
