Naturally the pretender had no knowledge of this, so he pondered briefly before replying."I believe it was the left foot.""Wrong. I wasn't actually bitten because Mother saved me in time, though she gashed her left arm in the process. You didn't know about that incident, did you?" "I'm sure the esteemed guests here remember the day my mother's arm was bleeding profusely when I was seven. Uncle, I recall you drove her to get treated at the hospital. Am I right?""Yes, yes, I remember now. The mistress did injure her arm back then, and I personally took her to the hospital. She specifically instructed me not to inform anyone else, to avoid worry. There's no mistake, he is the young master, the true heir.""Hmph, you think such hearsay can prove I'm fake? I could just as well say you bribed the uncle to deceive everyone. Nobody else witnessed that old incident anyway, so you can make up whatever story you want.""Still unconvinced? Then I'll reveal one more fact known only to my clos
Soon after ingesting it, the old man coughed and retched up a pool of black blood, gradually regaining clarity. When he lifted his gaze to see his eldest before him, he trembled in excitement, hands fumbling to caress Justin's face."My boy, you've come back! Where have you been all this time? Do you know what chaos ensued in the family during your absence?""Old master, please calm yourself. I'm not your son. Listen as I explain everything."With that, they helped the old man out of his coffin and into an armchair. The same confusion swirled in everyone's minds. Justin then removed his disguise, reverting to his original appearance, and carefully reiterated the events leading up to this moment. Though incredulous at first, the fantastic tale made sense upon reflection.The old man too accepted this was not his real firstborn, but rejoiced at his second son's return. The two siblings knelt before their father, weeping uncontrollably like three-year-olds. The old man beamed with gran
In Nova City, outside the Sunrise Building, Justin Wilson stood with anticipation, holding two tickets for a movie currently in theaters.Moments later, a man and a woman emerged from the building. The man was impressively dressed in a suit and leather shoes, flaunting a limited edition Patek Philippe watch and a Ferrari key on his waist. The woman had a stunning figure and exceptional beauty. They chatted and laughed together, appearing quite familiar with each other."Olivia!" Upon seeing the girl, Justin immediately approached her with a beaming smile. However, the girl's expression changed when she saw him, and she seemed to be avoiding him with a hint of disgust."What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me unless it's important? Why did you come to my workplace? If my colleagues see you dressed like a pauper, you'll embarrass me!" Olivia scolded without hesitation, irritation evident on her face."Olivia, today marks our one-year anniversary together.
"Of course, what's Sunrise Corporation compared to our Dimension of Wealth? A commoner's toilet from our world could be exchanged for dozens of such trashy conglomerates.""Damn, seriously? That's awesome. I want a hundred Lamborghinis and at least a dozen British-style castles. Oh, and I want thousands of maids prettier than popular celebrities to serve me alone. Imagine the thrill of seeing a different beauty every day."Justin had already started fantasizing about his future life. Being cheated on, despised, and treated as a backup option were no longer concerns for him."You can have all that, but first, Master, you must complete some system tasks," the system's prompt sounded. "If you can't complete the tasks I provide, it means your qualifications are insufficient. Not only will you be unable to receive my help, but you'll also lose the usage rights of this system, and I will look for the next Master.""System tasks?" Justin was confused. "What tasks?""Spend money like crazy, p
A business elite strode forward, slapping the woman's face without hesitation. They were created by the system, and in some respects, they could represent it.The system had long been displeased with these people and decided to teach them a lesson through the elite's hands."Who are you? What gives you the right to hit me?""You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that you've offended our boss. Now get out of here immediately."Olivia had intended to argue further, but at that moment, another Bentley arrived outside.Sunrise Corporation's former chairman, Gabriel Smith, entered with a group of people. Seeing him, Benjamin Lee and his companions rushed to greet him, their demeanor akin to meeting their own father."Ha, ha, ha! Justin, weren't you pretending to be the new chairman? Now that the real chairman is here, let's see how you keep up the act."Christopher, seeing his father greeting Chairman Smith, regained his confidence and taunted loudly. However, to his surpr
Justin approached Matthew Turner, whose face paled in fear. Matthew hurriedly spoke, "Mr. Wilson, I am not in league with Benjamin Lee. I am absolutely loyal to Sunrise Corporation. Please discern the truth."Justin waved his hand, smiling, "Manager Turner, there's no need to panic. We have no grudges between us, and I'm not here to cause trouble. On the contrary, I'm here to promote you and raise your salary. Starting today, you'll be promoted from deputy general manager to general manager. From now on, I'll need your help in overseeing both major and minor affairs within the company.""Really?""Of course it's true. Do I look like I'm joking with you?"In fact, Justin had already learned about Matthew Turner's background. He was a highly competent individual who had handled many matters well, but he had always been suppressed by Benjamin Lee. This prevented him from fully showcasing his talents, and he often had to take the blame for Benjamin's actions—a truly regrettable situation.
"Exactly, just a pauper. Even if he's here to buy something, look at his shabby appearance. What can he afford?""I don't know what our boss was thinking, letting a young girl like her work here. She's been here for a while and has no sales performance. She'll probably be fired soon. Then, people like him who can't afford clothes won't come and tarnish our store's environment."Overhearing their gossip, Justin remembered that he had entered the store to shop. There was a two-hour deadline for his task, and further delays might result in failing the mission.As the saying goes, don't let resources fall into others' fields. Since Ava needed money, he decided to help her achieve sales, allowing her to earn commissions and indirectly assisting her without causing embarrassment."Alright, let's discuss this later. Why don't you recommend a few stylish outfits for me? As you can see, my clothes are terribly worn, and they don't look good on me."Ava nodded and led him to a clothing area. Sh
Justin escorted Ava home and made sure she was settled before returning to his rented house in Nova City. The place was a mere 30 square meters, and despite its size, the monthly rent was still a whopping $1,200.This was already the cheapest rent in the entire city. Even so, he hadn't paid rent for three months. His landlady had warned him just a day before that if he didn't pay up, she would throw all his belongings out.As Justin approached his front door, he found it wide open. His clothes, luggage, and various knick-knacks were strewn across the yard, many of them damaged beyond use."Well, if it isn't Justin. You've finally decided to show your face."A sharp, mocking voice pierced his ears, instantly souring his mood. Justin glanced over at the speaker, his expression darkening."What's the matter, young man? Every time rent is due, you're nowhere to be seen. I thought you might've died out there or something."Victoria was a woman in her 40s, plump and mean-spirited. She looke
