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 quickly. If not, I might have had to deal with this guard myself. Look, he let those homeless people in and allowed them to dirty SweetSky. If anyone else sees this, it will certainly damage the restaurant's reputation.”

“But don't worry. As a special customer, I’ll keep quiet. I won’t tell my colleagues or friends in high society. This embarrassing incident will remain a secret,” Victor explained at length, puffing out his chest, thinking he was worthy of being called the hero who saved the restaurant.

“Are you done talking?” Mrs. Sisca asked with a sarcastic smile.

Victor wasn’t sure he had heard correctly. “Pardon me?”

“If you’re done, please leave this restaurant. Our guests have arrived,” Mrs. Sisca said, pointing toward the group inside that made Victor and Elena feel disgusted. “We’re very busy and don’t have time for debates. Other guests will be arriving soon as well.”

Elena laughed, thinking that Mrs. Sisca was joking. She extended her hand for a handshake. “Nice to meet you, I’m Elena Moore, Victor Exton’s fiancée. We just got engaged earlier today, and now we’re here for a romantic dinner.”

Mrs. Sisca merely glanced at Elena’s hand without any intention of shaking it. “Wow, congratulations. But I’m afraid, as the guard already explained, SweetSky has been booked. This event was arranged on short notice, but we announced it on our website and sent email notifications. It’s not that we’re being rude, but we don’t want to offend our VVIP customers. So, please, celebrate your engagement elsewhere.”

Victor’s eyes widened. His forehead was sweating as he asked, “VVIP customers? Who do you mean?”

Victor grew anxious because he hadn’t heard anything about any high-profile individuals who had booked the entire SweetSky. He didn’t know whether this event was closed off or if he had been excluded from such important information.

Just as the manager was about to answer Victor’s question, a familiar voice greeted, “Good evening, Mrs. Sisca.”

They turned in unison. Upon seeing the person who greeted them, Victor and Elena stared in shock. Elena quickly shouted, “Jack?! What are you doing here? Oh my God, don’t tell me you’ve been stalking me!”

“Do you know Mr. Jack?”

Victor interjected, “Mrs. Sisca, please don’t call him ‘Mr.’ That’s so inappropriate. Just so you know, this guy was a gardener at my fiancée’s house. He was just fired because he became obsessed with Elena and often did crazy things.”

“Excuse me?” Mrs. Sisca frowned in confusion.

Seeing the annoyed look on Mrs. Sisca's face, Jack interjected, “I came to have dinner here. And you guys, why are you here? Do you want to have dinner too? Why don't you come straight in, but stand in front of the door?” Jack looked sharply at Victor and Elena. However, there was still a smile on his lips.

Clearly, this was out of the scenario!

Jack spoke in a slight whisper, “I tell you, despite their good looks, their lives are miserable, their hearts poorer than poor itself.”

Mrs. Sisca stifled her laughter, while Victor and Elena, who had also heard her, turned red in the face like boiled crabs.

“Insolent! Poor fools! Loser!” Victor cursed, but then he smiled mockingly, “Oh, I see, apparently this is a charity event. No wonder you dared to come here. All you have in your head is free food. You wish you could eat delicious food without paying. What a beggar!”

Elena said, “Really Jack, as your ex-wife, I'm starting to worry. You became unemployed because my fiancé fired you. Then, you got evicted and became homeless. And now, you're here as a beggar! Jack, what kind of setback did you go through that you have to beg for food?!”

Fed up with Victor and Elena's ramblings, Mrs. Sisca silently signaled the two guards to drag them away from SweetSky.

“Mrs. Sisca, you can't do this to me. You'll regret it!” Victor shouted as the guards pulled his hands away.

Similarly, Elena screeched, “Let go! Let go of my hand, you lowly errand boys, you don't deserve to touch me!”

The two guards ignored them. They dragged Victor and Elena to the parking lot and only released their grip there.

Elena was annoyed with her messy appearance. She shook off the traces of the guards' hands, making a disgusted gesture as if she had been hit by a chicken shit.

“You will pay for this. You don't know I'm well-connected, well-acquainted with the elite. Look, overnight I'll disgust them with SweetSky. They won't want to step on the floor those bums once walked on!” Victor was furious.

But the guards took it in stride. In fact, one of them threatened, “Please spread this disgrace to all your colleagues. We will gladly help by uploading the CCTV footage of the expulsion of the two intruders on the SweetSky website.”

“You guys...” Victor's voice trailed off. He stared resentfully at the two departing guards, then muttered, “How dare they threaten me.”

Victor smiled wryly as the threat really made him uneasy. Being kicked out of the restaurant was humiliating enough, let alone being labeled as an intruder. Definitely, he had no choice but to keep quiet, swallowing all the bitter treatment from SweetSky's side.

However, despite all the humiliation, there was one thing that bothered Victor.

Who exactly was the VVIP member? He could even turn SweetSky into a feeding ground for the homeless.

Victor's eyeballs rounded as he realized something. “Wait, since when does SweetSky have a VVIP category?”

    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

    Jack could see the anxiety on Laura's face. He understood; tonight was going to be difficult for her. An unreasonable client, a stern and authoritarian boss, and intimidating coworkers had truly created an unhealthy work environment. It was really unfortunate that Laura had to stay there too. She didn’t even have a break to rest for a moment. No wonder Laura was so stressed, Jack thought.“You should take a shower first to freshen up.”Laura smiled awkwardly. “Alright, Sir.” She felt like an idiot. How could she forget the first step before dealing with a client—preparing herself as best as possible? She was in such a mess right now, sweaty, and looking absolutely unappealing.In the bathroom, Laura's heart was still racing uncontrollably, beating fast as though she were about to go to war. She exhaled several heavy breaths. Honestly, the nervousness she felt now was greater than when she started her debut as a prostitute.After putting on a bathrobe, Laura didn’t immediately leave th

    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.

    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

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

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.

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.
