On his way to the restaurant, Jack's attention was caught by a sight when his scooter stopped at a red light. Under the shade of a large, leafy tree, a group of street children sat in a circle, huddled around food brought by a young woman. They looked happy, munching on pieces of bread wrapped in white paper.
Jack's neatly aligned teeth were visible as he watched the young woman ruffle the hair of one of the children. "She’s a kind woman," he commented.
[Her name is Emma Wexler, 24 years old, and she works as a waitress at a bakery. She often brings leftover food from her workplace for the street children. She rents a place in a densely populated area with her grandmother, which is about 500 meters from here.]
Jack was stunned by the sophistication of the System, which could describe someone’s background in such detail. However, before he could respond, the honk of a car behind him pierced the air, signaling that the traffic light had turned green. Jack revved up his scooter again.
"System, is that information valid?" Jack asked, uncertain because this was the first time he had seen the young woman.
[Don’t worry, sir. You can trust me. Would you like to hear more information about Emma? I think she’s an interesting woman. You could consider dating her.]
Jack chuckled, realizing that the System was trying to cheer him up after his divorce. Though hesitant, Jack agreed to the System’s suggestion. He listened to the System’s explanation about Emma, and before he knew it, he had arrived at his destination.
Jack looked at SweetSky Restaurant in front of him. In fact, he often passed by the restaurant on his way to or from the office. He had always planned to take Elena there for a romantic dinner one day. Jack was sure Elena would love it.
Now, Jack smiled. "I think I’ll take someone else to celebrate my freedom."
***
A white car pulled into the SweetSky Restaurant's parking lot. A handsome man got out of the car and opened another door.
The man extended his hand, which was met with a smooth, white hand. A diamond ring was circling one of her fingers.
"You’re more beautiful than an angel." The compliment was followed by a small laugh from the woman before they walked hand in hand.
This was the first time the woman had entered a five-star restaurant that was very popular in the city. She couldn’t stop smiling, knowing her life was about to change.
"Elena, from now on, your reputation will rise. You’ll become a high-class woman."
‘I’m smart. Many women will envy me for becoming Victor's fiancée— a young, talented manager from a distinguished family background. Yes, even if it means I had to ditch Jack. Who cares? Jack is useless now. It’s only right to throw him away like trash!’ Elena thought, satisfied.
She tightened her grip on Victor’s arm. "You’re the best, Honey."
Elena’s smile and Victor’s pride vanished when two guards standing at the front door of the restaurant stopped them.
"Sorry, sir, but the restaurant is not accepting visitors tonight because someone has reserved all the seats."
"What?!" Victor snapped.
"We mean, the entire restaurant has been rented for tonight. So, you can come back tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience," one of the guards explained politely.
Victor found the guard’s words ridiculous. The restaurant had three floors, each with many tables. It could accommodate hundreds of guests. What’s more, the prices for meals here were extremely expensive— even if someone bought dozens of dishes, they would have to spend millions of dollars, let alone renting the entire restaurant.
Who could be the conglomerate spending hundreds of millions of dollars in one night to rent SweetSky?
If the restaurant was rented for a wedding reception or a special government event, Victor could believe it.
‘But if that’s the case, I would definitely know about it. News like this wouldn’t slip past me,’ Victor thought.
For Victor and other high-class people, networking with other elite individuals was crucial. They regularly held meetings to build businesses together or simply to deepen relationships. There was even a special group chat for families from the upper class, where members often shared information.
"I’m actually a humorous person, but your jokes aren’t funny at all. Step aside and let us in, or you’ll regret it," Victor threatened.
The guards bowed, apologizing, but not because they were afraid of Victor’s threats, but because they really couldn’t let Victor and Elena in.
"Honey, are you sure we’re special enough for this restaurant? Look, they’re treating us like we don’t belong in SweetSky," Elena whined. This was supposed to be the most wonderful night for her, having dinner at a five-star restaurant.
Elena had already imagined taking selfies and videos during dinner. She wanted everyone to know that she was no longer the old Elena. She wanted to be welcomed as a member of the elite, and after this, luxury would become a permanent part of her life.
But now, everything was in jeopardy!
Victor, not wanting to lose face in front of Elena, quickly replied, "Of course, darling, don’t worry. I even have a special membership card. While regular guests need to make a reservation, I can go straight in and get a table here."
After calming Elena, Victor gave the guards a sharp look. "You’ll be in trouble for being rude to a VIP guest. Now, call Mrs. Sisca Baker. She’s the manager of SweetSky, right? Just so you know, we’re good friends."
The two guards exchanged looks. Confusion was evident on their faces. Not wanting to take any risks, they both nodded. One of the guards said, "Alright, sir. Please wait here while we call her."
Elena waited, grumbling, while Victor looked inside the restaurant. The glass walls allowed him to see the busy staff preparing for something, as if a dinner event was indeed taking place.
‘What exactly is going on? Why haven’t I heard anything about this?’
While Elena was occupied with her frustration, and Victor was deep in thought, checking his phone in case he had missed an important message from a colleague, a surprising group arrived.
Elena and Victor stepped aside in disgust. The people were dressed in shabby clothes, smelled unpleasant, and appeared unkempt. Some of them weren’t even wearing shoes.
Elena covered her nose and whispered, "Victor, what are these homeless people doing here?"
"Someone gave me an invitation for a dinner event here. They asked me to bring as many friends as possible. Is that true?" An elderly man handed a torn piece of paper to the guard with shaking hands.
After checking the paper, the guard smiled politely. "It’s true, sir. Please go ahead."

Victor and Elena’s jaws immediately dropped to the floor. They blinked their eyes in disbelief at what they were seeing.This was Elena’s first time at SweetSky, but not Victor’s. He had been there many times, but never once had he seen a homeless person enter. Let alone homeless people, even middle-class individuals wouldn’t dare to step inside. They would go broke after dining there.So, what kind of madness had they just witnessed? He and Elena were still stuck outside, so how could homeless people be allowed in?Victor's chest rose and fell like it was going to explode. He shouted in the guard's face, “Why did you let them in? Are you an idiot or what?!”“What's going on, Mr. Victor?” A forty-year-old woman in neat clothes reprimanded, behind her the guard followed.Victor beamed with a smile. Hearing the restaurant manager acknowledge him and call his name, he clearly felt that he was not just any ordinary guest. The guards should know that!“Mrs. Sisca, thank you for coming so q

The elevator doors opened when it reached the first floor. Jack stepped out after observing the happiness of the guests upstairs. He walked slowly, sat in a simple chair reserved for him, right at the edge of the room, without a table.Jack smiled contentedly as he noticed the staff treating the guests very well, even though their appearance was clearly different from the usual guests at the restaurant."Would you like to sample our dishes, Sir? We would be happy to prepare it for you," a woman's voice surprised Jack. It wasn't a server; it was the restaurant manager herself.Jack smiled. "Maybe a cup of coffee."Mrs. Sisca called for a waiter, asking for authentic civet coffee to be made. She asked again, "Is there anything else, Sir? I apologize that the VVIP membership didn’t exist before; for now, only the VIP room is available. But don't worry, the dishes and service we offer are certainly more special than what the VIP members usually receive."In fact, Mrs. Sisca was a bit conf

[Congratulations, Sir, your vision is now normal.]Jack groped his eyes, repeatedly putting on his glasses only to take them off again, closing one eye alternately, and opening both eyes wide to look around. He smiled with emotion before bursting into uncontrollable laughter. Jack couldn't stop himself. It felt like being reborn, seeing the world so clearly, without the barrier of lenses.He vividly remembered how Elena and her family, as well as some of his former colleagues, often made jokes about his astigmatism. There was even a time when Tommy had deliberately taken and hidden his glasses. Somehow, Jack, who had to fumble around trying to find things due to his poor vision, had made Elena's family laugh heartily."System, how did you do it?" He still found it hard to believe. This felt like a dream![All because of your kindness, Sir. All this time, you have seen with your heart, felt the struggles of others, and have always been kind to everyone.

Jack smiled sarcastically. He deliberately stepped hard on Paul's big toe. “Relax, Mr. Hogweed. I like a bargain.”Paul grimaced. Even though Jack's weight was far below his, it was still painful for Paul to have his big toe on a pedestal. But he couldn't get angry. Paul instead held Jack's foot, “Tell me sir, I'll do anything, as long as you keep my sins a secret from Grace.”Jack removed his foot from Paul's big toe. “That's easy. Do three things for me.”Paul paused for a moment to think. If it wasn't because of his wife, he wouldn't have done those three things for Jack, let alone kneel before him like he did now. Even so, he couldn't bargain.“Yes, sir, with pleasure,” he replied while holding back his irritation.“First, apologize to her.” Jack pointed at the woman named Laura Kills.Paul turned to Laura and gave her a sharp look. In his heart, he strongly opposed Jack's request. His pride was being torn apart! But his tongue tried to negotiate nicely, “Sir, I'll do anything, b

Entering the area of Paradise Roadway, Jack was greeted by the loud, lively music, the strong smell of alcohol, and the dim, colorful lights. Amidst the chaos, the flirtatious laughter of the women entertaining their clients could be heard."Sir, follow me," Laura whispered, walking quickly but stealthily.Seeing the anxious expression on Laura's face, Jack refrained from asking any questions. He followed her through the crowd, passing people dancing to the rhythm of the music.During the journey, Jack was surprised to learn that the brothel also sold clothes. He noticed display windows on both sides, complete with price tags hanging on the glass. Some items were even on sale for over 50% off. However, what was displayed in the windows were not mannequins, but real women and men. The women were on the left side, while the men were showcased on the right.In addition to mannequins being replaced by real people, what further puzzled Jack were the prices listed. The prices varied, but Ja

The Paradise Roadway brothel offers three types of rooms for customers who wish to stay with a prostitute or gigolo: standard room, single room, and paradise room. The cheapest rental cost is, of course, for the standard room. These are small booths lined up, measuring 3x2 meters, containing only a bed."Do you know how much the rent is per night for the best room here?" Ava stared sharply at Jack while signaling for the executioners to return to her side.Jack didn't respond; instead, he looked at Laura, who appeared pale. He put his arm around Laura's. "Calm down, Miss, everything will be fine."“What's good?” Ava snapped. “At the very least, I'll shave his hair off to break even. She lost her crown for making me lose a customer.”“You're not going to do that.” Jack gave Ava a sharp look. “Get ready to kiss my feet.”Ava burst out laughing, as did the others. They both knew that Jack, who they considered a hobo, would have to give thousands of dollars to save Laura. And that was imp

“You bastard! You've got a big mouth, you fucking hobo!” snapped Jessy in exasperation.In her entire career as a prostitute at Paradise Roadway, this was the first time Jessy had ever seen a loser fight the most feared pimp there. It was also the first time she, Laura, and everyone else around her had seen Ava become more patient than usual. Now Ava just stares at her phone screen.“Mommy?” asked Jessy as she saw Ava's hands trembling.“Jack Hall...” Ava hisses, raising her gaze to Jack.“Yes, that's my name.”Ava succeeded in making everyone wide-eyed when she suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Jack.“Mommy, what are you doing?” Jessy bent down and pulled on Ava's arm, which was three to four times her size, intending to help Ava up.However, without giving any explanation, Ava firmly swatted Jessy's hand away, knocking her to the floor.Jessy is about to protest. But the next scene left her mouth wide open.“I'm truly sorry, sir. I'm so regretful,” Ava said as she bowed low,

Jessy clenched her fists, holding back the frustration that made her chest burn. This was the first time she had been humiliated by Ava, someone she had considered a mother figure, in front of so many people. Ava told her to be careful, not because she was worried about her, but because she was more concerned about a suitcase.‘It’s just an old suitcase, but she expects me to treat it like an expensive antique vase!’Jessy’s pride as the prime woman of Paradise Roadway was clearly shattered, especially when she saw people secretly laughing at her. But she didn’t dare to defy Ava. Holding back her resentment, Jessy walked behind, carrying that damn suitcase.“Jessy, why are you walking so slowly?! Hurry up! Don’t make Mr. Hall wait!” Ava shouted from about 8 meters away.Jessy gritted her teeth. The suitcase was heavy! She cursed silently. Jessy shot a sharp glare at Laura. She couldn’t accept it!“Just ignore her,” Jack whispered to Laura. He wrapped his arm around Laura’s, making her

When Emma opened and read the email from the big company, she was stunned. Her left hand covered her wide-open mouth. "Impossible," Emma hissed with her gaze still glued to her mobile phone screen."What's going on?"Emma thrust her mobile phone at Jack. "It's impossible," she said again before leaning back in the chair.Jack reached for Emma's phone. His eyes moved swiftly to the right and left, reading word after word, which made Emma look shocked, confused, astonished, her feelings mixed together to form a complicated facial expression. In fact, Emma also seemed to weaken suddenly."Hey, this is good news!" exclaimed Jack excitedly. His reaction to reading the email was the opposite of Emma's."You got an interview call at Redwave Group for the receptionist position. That's great, Emma, give me your hand!"Still with a confused gesture Emma obediently held out her hand. Jack quickly took it and shook it. "Congratulations Emma, I hope your interview goes well and you get the job."

Since hearing the story of Jack's failure in his previous marriage, Emma began to realize that the bad things that happened to her were nothing compared to what Jack was going through.Receiving betrayal from those closest to him, without a single person taking his side and supporting him, being evicted from the house he bought with his own hard-earned money, losing his job and family all at once, complete with all the insults and abuse he always heard, apparently did not make Jack a gloomy person. Even though all the ugliness Jack received after he made devotion and sacrifice, and wholehearted dedication.Indeed, looking at the smiling Jack, Emma would never have guessed that the man had gone through such a difficult time in his life; a phase full of suffering that would not even be enough to be represented by the word 'suffering' itself.Emma has learned lessons from the painful process that shaped Jack into a wise man. She seemed to have regained her spirit to fight in life, and ac

Emma's eyes widened, realizing that her grandmother knew everything. She tried to smile so that her grandmother wouldn't worry about her situation."Grandma, I'm fine. It's just that Andrew and I aren't meant to be. It's not that bad. But I'm grateful to have Jack by my side.""I'm glad to hear that. I pray that you find a good man to marry. And Emma, know this: there are no coincidences in life. Your meeting with Jack is a good destiny, a blessing and good fortune that God has given you. Emma, I’m old now. Death is a certainty. But dear, you must know, I will die in peace knowing you’re with Jack," Grandma said as Emma tucked her in.Emma’s cheeks flushed, and her eyes filled with tears again from the overwhelming emotion. She asked her grandmother to get some rest and stop thinking about things."Good night, Grandma. I love you." Emma kissed her grandmother’s forehead, then stood up, and closed the bedroom door behind her, letting out a heavy sigh before walking away.As she slowly

Emma took the photo from Jack's hand. She studied it intently, almost without blinking, while recalling the people she had met. The longer she looked, the more wrinkles appeared on her forehead."Um, wait a minute, I think I've seen someone with a face like this before. If I count it right, he’s probably around 30 years old now. Hmm, wait, who was it, which man of that age did I meet?" Emma closed her eyes, trying to focus more on remembering while tapping her head.After a moment, Emma opened her eyes wide. She stared at the portrait of the boy again. Enthusiastically, she turned to Jack, then looked back at the photo, and then back at Jack. She repeated this once more before a big smile appeared on her face."Hey Jack, he looks like you!" she exclaimed, very excited.But Jack just gave a wry smile and said, "Really?""Yes! You two look alike! Oh my God, this is like a photo of you when you were little, Jack! How is that possible? This coincidence is really surprising me! Haha." Emma

This was not Jack's first encounter with Emma's grandmother. He had seen her before when he organized a free dinner for the underprivileged at the elite SweetSky restaurant. Even then, Jack was sure he was the only one paying attention to her, and not the other way around.If Grandma had indeed noticed Jack back then, her reaction now would seem somewhat exaggerated. She acted as though she had just reunited with someone she had known for a long time after a long separation.Nevertheless, Jack now flashed a smile. Gently, he said, "It's me, Jack Hall. It's a pleasure to meet a beautiful woman like you."Jack's light-hearted joke, meant to warm up the atmosphere with Grandma, even succeeded in making Emma chuckle softly. However, not Grandma, who instead shook her head while shedding a tear.Jack glanced at Emma, worried that he might have offended Grandma or made an unintentional mistake."What's wrong, Grandma?" Emma kneeled beside Jack.Grandma wiped her tears with the white handker

Her face suddenly turned pale with a frown on her forehead.Jack tried to calm Emma down. He asked Emma to stay put while he went back to room 3F.“What if they hurt you? Jack, Andrew and his friends won't let you get away after you made Jimmy's head leak. They will definitely get back at you.”“What?” Irene gasped. The story from Jack was only about their escape from the perverted men, who were being held in room 3F by the guards. She had no idea at all if Jack was desperate to hurt one of them in order to protect Emma.“That's right, I hit his head with a bottle. But I haven't made Andrew's head leak yet. I'll be back to do it. He and the others deserve to be taught a lesson.” Jack's gaze was intimidatingly sharp.Irene could clearly see that Jack was furious. Once again, she chastised herself

Irene Walker looked at Jack who raised his arms, about to return Emma's hug but still hesitating. Until finally she smiled bitterly watching Jack embrace Emma.“It's okay, you can cry Emma. I know, it's not easy.”Irene didn't know why, but it was like her throat was choked, so much so that she had trouble even swallowing. It was so strange that she was heartbroken right now, it was obviously the first day she met Jack. Could there be such an instant, yet profound feeling of love?Irene shook her head, looking down to doubt her own sense of sanity.“I thought it would be an important and memorable night because finally after months of dating, my relationship with Andrew was progressing. But it turns out...” Emma shook her head while swallowing bitterness. She sobbed again as she remembered how cruel Andrew had been to her.“I understand.” Jack rubbed Emma's back gently.Emma tightened her embrace around Jack, burying her face deeper into his chest.

She got up from her seat and left the sofa.Andrew also stood up, caught up and held Emma's hand. He begged her to stay there.Jack could clearly hear their conversation as they stood less than a meter away from him."I don't like your friend's jokes. They're over the line." "Emma, please don't listen. He's out of his fucking mind, talking out of his ass. I beg you, don't go yet. I haven't introduced you to Jimmy yet. You know, he's the one who often sets me up with his female colleagues. I want to show him that I already have a beautiful and charming girlfriend."Emma's cheeks flushed at Andrew's sweet and gentle words.

Jack ran to the reception desk while continuing to call Emma.When he reached the reception desk, Jack inquired about Emma's arrival by describing her characteristics. The receptionist seemed to be thinking, recalling and comparing the characteristics of the woman Jack mentioned with the female visitors at The Groove Spot."I think I saw her come in a few minutes ago."Jack's eyes rounded. He remembered that the profile picture on Emma's cell phone number was a portrait of Emma. He showed the photo to the receptionist. "Is this the woman you saw?""That's right! It's her I saw. She was wearing a white dress, coming in with a man with long, tied-up hair."Jack thanked her, then ran to the third floor while continuing to call Emma."Hello, Jack," Emma said finally, from the other end of the line. Her voice still sounded cheerful."Emma, you've arrived at The Groove Spot, right? I'll come over and introduce myself to your boyfriend. Um, I'm at the karaoke place right now." "Really? Tha
