"You just spent 700 thousand of my money on gambling, Eitan?! Are you crazy?! My restaurant is on the verge of bankruptcy and I need funds to get back on its feet. But... You spent all my money!" said Dilan Finnick with an expression of disbelief as he checked his account.
It previously contained 700 thousand dollars, but now only 342 dollars remained. His savings over the past three years had been completely depleted.Eitan, who received anger from Dilan, only showed an indifferent expression. There was no guilt on his face, as if his mistake was only something small."Keep your voice down, Dilan! How dare you intimidate my son?! Look at your husband, Chelsea! I didn't expect him to be so arrogant just because he lost a little money!"Speaking were Leanne Gregory, Chelsea and Eitan's mother; Dilan's mother-in-law. She is a 57 year old woman with a thin face and a height of 165 cm. If you ignore her annoying attitude, she is honestly a beautiful woman, just like her daughter.Of course, Dilan's face immediately darkened when he heard that, "That's my money! It is the result of my hard work! Now I need it to get out of the gates of bankruptcy!""Who cares about that?! You're married to Chelsea, so you should be responsible for our lives!" Leanne replied with an angry face.Eitan, who was still wearing an indifferent expression, suddenly interrupted by saying, "I'm sorry, Dilan. I promise I won't do it again. Besides, I'm sure you can make a lot more money than that."Seeing Eitan's expression of not feeling guilty like a bastard, Dilan really wanted to kill him. If not for the fact that Eitan was Chelsea's younger brother, his head would have been separated from his body from the start."Eitan has apologized, Dilan. I hope you can forgive him. He is my only younger brother," Chelsea said in a nervous tone, trying to calm Dilan. Chelsea regrets Eitan's action, but blaming Eitan for dragging on will not solve the problem. It would be better to forgive him and find a solution to this problem.Realizing that his wife was defending this bastard, Dilan couldn't hide his angry expression. How could Chelsea say that?!"Then how do I get that 700 thousand dollars, Chelsea?! What should I do to save my restaurant?!"The scary look that Dilan gave her suddenly made Chelsea shudder with fear. She had known Dilan for three years, and this was the first time she had seen Dilan show this much anger.However, there was nothing she could do but look down with a guilty face.Realizing that his wife could not give an answer, Dilan finally made a decision, "Then I have no choice. Tomorrow I will mortgage our house!"Dilan had no choice. The restaurant was a legacy of his grandfather. If it was destroyed in his hands, then that would be the biggest regret of his life! He had no face to meet his grandfather in the afterlife.However, what Chelsea said next succeeded in making Dilan almost fall into madness. "I-I'm sorry, Dilan. I-I've mortgaged the house before. I did this to pay Eitan's debt of 600 thousand. I don't have another choice," Chelsea said with her face down."What?! Are you crazy, Chelsea?!"Dilan bought the house in Chelsea's name. Dilan has great trust in her. Yet, she had mortgaged the house just five days after their wedding?!"Chelsea!" Dilan snapped. He stared intently at Chelsea's face. He was no longer able to contain his anger.For the last six years Chelsea has been the backbone of the Gregory Family. During that time, Eitan gambled and just spent money. He never worked and only depended on Chelsea's salary of less than 150 thousand dollars per year. He really is just a piece of trash!BANG!Eitan suddenly hit the table hard. He pointed at Dilan and said in an angry tone, "Dare you shout at my sister, Dilan?! I was kind enough to apologize to you, but you became so arrogant! Is it necessary for me to hit your head and make you conscious?! You're just a useless bastard who's lucky to have Chelsea! I really hope Chelsea divorces you soon!"At this point, Dilan was completely filled with anger. He immediately took long steps towards Eitan to teach him a lesson.However, it was immediately stopped by Chelsea, "What do you want to do, Dilan?!"Leanne who saw that also couldn't help but say, "You better divorce him now, Chelsea! He wants to hurt Eitan!"Chelsea immediately stood in front of Dilan with tears welling in her eyes, "Forgive him, Dilan. I'm sure he didn't mean to say that."Dilan immediately replied, "Okay, but what about my restaurant?! I need 700 thousand dollars or my restaurant will go bankrupt. If that happens, then the restaurant that grandfather entrusted to me will be finished. I don't want that to happen."However, Chelsea's response was only to look down helplessly with a bitter expression. She didn't have a solution for that.At this point, the bell suddenly rang. When Dilan opened the door, he found a handsome 28 year old man with an impressive appearance. He was wearing a black suit, and a Greubel Forsey Art Piece 1 watch around his wrist. He had a dignified aura."Who are you looking for?" Dilan asked with a curious expression.The handsome man ignored Dilan and instead focused his gaze on Chelsea, "I'm back, Chelsea!"Chelsea trembled. With an incredulous expression she said, "Charlie? Why are you here?"Charlie Denver then took long steps into the house,"I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I have work to do in Flamcrest City. Now I have returned to Ashwood City to meet you. I have taken over Lucia Hospital.""Sorry, I'm married," replied Chelsea immediately.“I know, but I don't mind that. Will you give me another chance?"Eitan and Leanne watched with great interest. Lucia Hospital? It is one of the largest hospitals in Ashwood City owned by the Denver Family. If this handsome man took over Lucia Hospital, that meant he was very rich."I'm sorry, I can't." Chelsea refused by shaking her head."Get lost!" shouted Dilan immediately. This bastard wants to snatch my wife right in front of me?!Charlie glared at Dilan as he replied, "I won't give up on Chelsea!"“Get lost!” Dilan shouted again.Charlie shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant manner as he said to Chelsea, "If the Gregory Family needs my help, call me immediately."With that, he took long strides out of the house.Seeing Charlie leave, Eitan and Leanne couldn't help but be stunned. Charlie is a great man with vast wealth, but Chelsea ignores him? How stupid!If they had known that Charlie wanted Chelsea, they would not have let Chelsea marry Dilan. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth!After all, from the start they didn't like Dilan. He's just an ordinary guy with an income of less than 300 thousand per year. However, Chelsea wants to marry Dilan so badly that there is nothing they can do.When Dilan saw their expressions, Dilan was filled with disappointment. A hostile aura immediately radiated from him."Look at you, Chelsea! Are you having an affair with him?!" Dilan asked with a cold face.Chelsea grabbed Dilan's right hand and said in a trembling voice, "No, Dilan, believe me! He's just..."Chelsea's words were immediately interrupted by Eitan, "You two need to get a divorce, Chelsea! Charlie is very rich. He has assets of more than 100 million! If you marry him, we'll definitely have a decent life!"Dilan looked at Eitan in disbelief. The reason the Gregory Family doesn't have a decent life is because Eitan is a gambler. All he did was gamble and spend money. Over the last four to five years, he has spent almost all of Chelsea's salary. If he would change and work, the Gregory Family's life would definitely be much better.Leanne also spoke up, "I agree!"Seeing the two of them, Dilan's face became very dark. They tried to convince my wife to divorce me right in front of me?!"Give me 700 thousand or I'll break both your legs!" Dilan ordered Eitan coldly."No! I won't give it to
Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang. When Dilan opened the door, he saw an old man with an impressive appearance, wearing an expensive suit.Seeing Dilan who was in front of him, the old man immediately knelt down and said in a respectful tone, “Supreme Lord, I am Bastian Emerson. I will be your loyal servant while you are in Ashwood City. Whatever you ask, I will do it without hesitation."Bastian trembled as he said that. This was his first time meeting the Supreme Lord; Verdentia Continent's greatest hero."You are Bastian Emerson, the richest man in Ashwood City?" Dilan asked with a curious expression. They sent Bastian as my loyal servant?“That's right, Supreme Lord. From now on, you have full control of my fortune."Bastian is the richest person in Ashwood City. He owns over 55% of Ashwood City's wealth. If other people saw him kneeling in front of Dilan, they would fall into madness. The most influential figure in Ashwood City kneeling before a young man? That would be the
As soon as Dilan arrived at the restaurant, Halton immediately approached him and said, "All the raw ingredients in the kitchen were eaten by the rats, Dilan. Those are our last raw ingredients. Now, we have nothing left to cook!"Even though Halton looked panicked on the outside, he was actually smiling contentedly on the inside. With this, this small restaurant will be completely destroyed. He would get a big bonus from Charlie."How could the rats get into the kitchen? Shouldn't the kitchen be locked tightly before the restaurant closes?" asked Dilan calmly."There's a small cavity in the kitchen roof, Dilan. No one realized that before today," Halton replied in a reassuring tone.Dilan looked at Halton coldly. This bastard is trying to come up with a reasonable excuse to cover up his crime? Did he think I would just believe him?"Give me CCTV footage at all points in the restaurant. I want to see what really happened."Hearing that, Halton was quite surprised. Dilan doesn't believ
The phone call that Dilan had just made, made Halton and the five of them unable to stop themselves from bursting out laughing. This bastard is still acting arrogant even after facing the gates of bankruptcy? This makes them want to vomit!They hate individuals like Dilan who act indifferent to every situation."Do you think we will be afraid of your little threat, Dilan?! You couldn't even save your restaurant, so how could you possibly pay someone to do something to us?! I've never met someone more arrogant than you!" Halton said in a disgusted tone.Dilan did not waste his energy responding to Halton's insults. His voice is too precious to use on this trash! All he did was sit quietly, waiting for Bastian to finish everything for him.Realizing that Dilan was ignoring him, Halton became very angry. He really wanted to punch Dilan in the face and kill him right here. However, he won't do that because in the end Charlie will do it.This made him smile with satisfaction at the thought
At this point, Dilan sighed helplessly. He had cleaned out the real dirty rats in his restaurant.Dilan decided to close his restaurant temporarily. If Charlie wants to play with him, then Dilan will follow the game he created. When Charlie finds out that his restaurant has closed, what will he do next?Even though Dilan could kill and destroy him at any time, he didn't want to do that. He wanted to make Charlie kneel and beg him for mercy. At least, let him give Charlie a terrible torture, making him wish that death was a gift!Just think of it as entertainment before the government gives him a tiring mission.When Dilan planned to clean up the messy kitchen, from the restaurant window he could see a white van that looked suspicious.Even though the white van looked ordinary on the surface, Dilan realized that the van was protected by bulletproof glass combined with a special material called Tentanum, which could withstand an impact force of 10 tons. Even though their car plates look
At the same time, R13 gave him a notification.[Sorry, Supreme Lord. The information you need could not be found. Antares and the Franklin Family hid their information perfectly. The government can't dig it up.]Dilan could only be disappointed with that. It seemed like he had to ask this man directly to find out the reason why Antares kidnapped him."Thank you for saving my life. I owe you a lot!" Grey said in a grateful tone after taking a deep breath."Why did they kidnap you?" Dilan asked in a curious tone."I also do not know. They suddenly appeared and killed my three accomplices."Grey of course lied. Even though Dilan has saved his life, this big secret cannot just be revealed. Moreover, Dilan's identity is very mysterious. To be able to defeat the three of them so easily, to be able to destroy a van equipped with the best quality bulletproof glass, and to have great medical skills that are able to remove the poison in his body, it is certain that this man's identity is not or
After ordering all the dishes they wanted, a couple suddenly came over to them."Charlie, have you returned to Ashwood City?" asked the man named Alem."That's right, Alem. I came back last night," Charlie replied with a warm smile.The woman beside Alem, named Madison, looked at Chelsea curiously. This made her couldn't help but ask, "Is this woman your girlfriend, Charlie? She's very beautiful."Chelsea wants to clear up this misunderstanding. She didn't want them to jump to the conclusion that she was Charlie's girlfriend. However, before he could interrupt, his mother suddenly said, "Not yet, but soon.""That's right. Chelsea will be with Charlie soon," continued Eitan with a nod of agreement.This immediately made Chelsea look at the two of them sharply. What did they just say?! I already have a husband, and I have never thought about leaving my husband!At this point, the couple understood the true nature of the situation. Does Charlie want to get this cold woman by winning the
What Dilan said made Madison angry, “What an arrogant piece of trash! Do you know where you are right now?! This was the Starhaven Restaurant, a place where only those with great status and influence were allowed to set foot! Then, how could a lowly dog like you enter this place?! Did you sneak in like a robber?! Is it necessary for me to call the security guard and throw you out?!"Charlie really liked this situation. He was happy to see how Dilan was humiliated. However, in order to get Chelsea's attention, he will act as if he is trying to save Dilan."Dilan, Chelsea and I just had lunch. There's nothing you need to worry about. Don't make a scene here," Charlie said with a warm smile.“No one is trying to make a scene here. I just want to join in," said Dilan in a cold tone.Without waiting for a reply from Charlie, Dilan sat right next to Chelsea. Of course, what Dilan did made them all look at him with disgust. Who allowed him to sit there?!"What are you doing, Dilan?! Do you
