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?

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.

    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

"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.

He had come home early from his business trip out of town, but was not even given a chance to drop his suitcase in the bedroom or change clothes.Though unsure, Jack assumed that the decorations were for his own birthday.

    "Huh?"Jack blinked in surprise as a transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of him with a message that made no sense. However, moments later, the screen disappeared when his phone in his pocket vibrated, indicating an incoming message. He looked at it, and a notification popped up that made his eyes widen.‘[Greatest Bank] Your account ending in xxx77 has received a balance of USD 100,000,000.00.’"Impossible."At first, Jack thought the strange screen he had seen and the voice he had heard were just hallucinations caused by his chaotic thoughts and emotions. But it turned out it was real—he had actually received 100 million dollars!Clearly, it was an enormous amount! In fact, it was the largest balance Jack had ever had. Even if he had spent his entire life as the top sales with high sales, he would never have reached that figure, even if all his earnings were accumulated.Jack couldn’t understand how this had happened.
