Jayson, with a displeased expression, responded, "Take me to the taxi section," and began walking in that direction.Caleb was taken aback; he had anticipated Jayson's resistance and had intended to humiliate and belittle him. He never expected Jayson to agree so readily. Confusion clouded Caleb's face as he watched Jayson walk away, and then anger replaced it as he clenched his teeth and made a vow to himself: "This isn't over, you trash. I won't forgive you for ruining my music career."Ever since Jayson had posted a scathing review of Caleb's album online, his contract with the new record label had been terminated, and no other label was willing to sign him. A glimmer of determination flashed in Caleb's eyes, but reluctantly, he tore his gaze away from Jayson's retreating figure and moved on."I'd like a taxi that costs 5 million dollars, not a bus," Jayson said, forcing a smile. He worried that the sales representative might show him a subpar car in the showroom, and he didn't wan
Jayson didn't take her threat seriously; people like Chloe were just nuisances who lacked proper manners. A simple gesture would be enough to make them scatter in a panic.Confidently, he entered the bank, clutching the briefcase tightly. The bank counter was occupied by a queue, and Jayson stood behind a young man, patiently waiting for his turn.As Jayson's turn approached, a tall, chubby man with a hefty chain around his neck abruptly approached the counter, speaking in a loud, gruff voice. "Julie, deposit this cash into my account," the man demanded arrogantly, barely acknowledging Jayson's presence.A dark cloud crossed Jayson's face, and he spoke icily, "Excuse me, sir, but you should join the queue like everyone else. You can't simply cut in with your ugly fat face and expect to be served ahead of customers like me who have been waiting patiently."The man with a chain draped around his neck turned to Jayson, his expression heavy with gloom. He was on the verge of erupting with
Jayson, having maintained a safe distance from the bank, finally transformed into his true self. The potent engine of his Bugatti roared as he accelerated back towards the Wilson Mansion.What Jayson was unaware of, however, was that Caleb had already contacted his wife and Daniel, informing them of Jayson's extravagant purchase—a car worth a staggering five million dollars.Inside the living room of the Wilson family mansion, an air of liveliness filled the space. Mrs. Wilson's expression turned stern as she turned to Elena and questioned, "Did you actually give that trash money to buy a five million dollar car? Elena, have you completely lost your mind? What has Jayson ever done for this family to justify such an exorbitant expense?" Mrs. Wilson directed her anger and disappointment at Elena, even questioning the worth of her own car, which paled in comparison."Mom, I honestly have no idea where Jayson managed to get the money to buy a Bugatti worth five million dollars," Elena res
Jayson furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, unable to discern the identity of the person on the other end. "Who are you?" he asked casually, not recognizing the voice.The caller, brimming with anger and wanting to scold Jayson further, choked on his saliva. Fuming with fury, his nostrils flared and his ears seemed to emit smoke.After fifteen seconds of silence from the caller, Jayson grew impatient. "If you have nothing to say, I'll hang up," he threatened.Left with no choice, the caller hurriedly responded, grumbling and dissatisfied. "Jayson, it's me, your Uncle Grey. How can you not recognize my voice? Aren't you happy that the Wade family has embraced you as their own?"Jayson's face darkened, his mood turning even more sombre. In the past, he would have been ecstatic.Jayson had once believed that he had finally found a family to call his own when the Wades publicly declared him as one of their own after his marriage to Elena. He had hoped that he would no longer be mocked for
Jayson sat in stunned silence as the entire Wilson family gathered around him, their presence reminiscent of a gathering of superheroes. The room was filled with tension, and Elena, wearing a dark expression, broke the silence with a rude question."Jayson, what on earth do you think you're doing?" she snapped.Jayson glanced at her, his eyes conveying his disbelief at her question. "I'm eating, obviously," he replied with a hint of irritation. "Is it a crime for me to have a meal?"Elena's words had sparked a flame, and Lucy eagerly fanned it, adding to the already heated atmosphere. "Mom, you have to say something. We can't let Jayson continue like this without consequences. What if we woke up one day and discovered he had sold the mansion?" Lucy's words hung in the air, amplifying the tension.Mrs. Wilson's expression grew even darker, a storm brewing within her. In a fit of rage, she bellowed, "Mark!" The sound of her voice shook the walls, causing Butler Mark, who had been engros
Jayson stood frozen in disbelief as Ella unexpectedly discovered his whereabouts and boldly stormed into the grand Wilson mansion, boldly proclaiming him as her boyfriend. He braced himself for the inevitable fallout, expecting the usual barrage of harsh words and unreasonable demands from the overbearing Wilson family. But to his surprise, a strange silence settled over the mansion, leaving the atmosphere reminiscent of children caught red-handed in mischief, awaiting a looming punishment.Even Elena, notorious for her fierce protectiveness over Jayson and her disdain for any woman who dared to come near him, remained uncharacteristically still, devoid of any threatening gestures or attempts to intervene. The surreal scene unfolding before Jayson made him question if he had somehow slipped into a dreamlike state, causing him to blink his eyes open and shut in bewilderment.Ella, noticing Jayson's hesitance, pouted and adopted a coy demeanour as she playfully addressed him, "Why aren'
Ella couldn't help but chuckle mischievously, her fingers curling in a beckoning gesture, inviting Jayson to lean closer. Yet, Jayson's wariness held him back, causing him to retreat slightly.Amidst her laughter, Ella spoke with a smile, her eyes glinting with curiosity. "There's nothing I can't find out, so tell me, why do you choose to stay in the marriage despite knowing all these things about your wife?"Jayson fell into a contemplative silence. He had been deeply wounded by the woman he once loved in his previous life, and he had vowed not to repeat the mistake of blindly trusting another woman in his second chance at life.With a straight face, Jayson finally replied, "I love my wife."Ella was taken aback, her eyes narrowing as she observed Jayson intently. A chuckle escaped her lips as she murmured, "Interesting."The rest of the journey was filled with a heavy silence as the convoy of cars continued along the paved road for a solid thirty minutes. Finally, they came to a hal
The old man in the white robe's expression turned grave as he fixed his gaze on Jayson's figure."There's something peculiar about this kid's constitution. He may appear to be an ordinary human, but there's an air of uniqueness about his physique," the old man in the robe solemnly remarked.Ella's eyes widened in shock. She turned to the white-robed old man and asked, "You mean you can't see through him?"The old man swiftly shook his head. "No, I can't," he replied.After carefully considering the situation, Ella decided to take Jayson with her. She gently lifted him and placed him inside her luxurious car, while her entourage prepared to depart from Jin's mansion.As soon as the car passed through the mansion's gates, an astonishing transformation occurred, and the entire estate morphed into a towering mountain.Ella drove to the Wilson's mansion and personally accompanied Jayson inside. Mrs. Wilson was the only one awake; all her children had retired to bed early in preparation for
