"Hey, Edward! Come and clean up Rusty's poop!" Camille Westbrook screamed after discovering her beloved cat, Rusty, had a pile of poop under her chair.
"Wait a minute, Auntie. I'm doing the dishes."Camille looked furious, and she yelled again, "Do you have room temperature IQ? The smell will spread if you don't clean it up soon!"In another room, a 23-year-old man sighed. He left his unfinished work and headed for the living room.This man was Edward Windsor. Even though he was the future son-in-law of the Westbrook family, he was treated badly. Even his fiancé, Emily Westbrook, never thought he existed."Hurry up! Don't you know how to be useful?"Camille was Emily's mother. She was the one who was most against her daughter's engagement. If not for her father's order, Camille would have kicked Edward out long ago.On the other hand, Edward gave a forced smile. Camille herself remained seated reading the newspaper while Edward cleaned the poop near her feet."Mom, where's Edward?" A girl asked as she walked down the stairs. She was Emily's only sister, Amber Westbrook. She was about to leave for college.Camille kept reading the newspaper as she pointed under the chair. Edward stood up after wrapping the poop and spraying the affected floor.Edward was about to take out the trash when he heard Amber speak, "Edward, wash my car now. I'm in a hurry. You should be done by the time I finish breakfast."Edward stopped and turned around. "I haven't finished washing the dishes. Why don't you do it yourself? If you find it tiring, there's a car wash down the street."Amber hit the floor with her right foot and sulked, "Mom, look at the behavior of this lowly man, making my appetite suddenly disappear. I'm leaving now."Camille slammed down her newspaper and looked at Edward. "No lunch for you today."Amber left, and Edward returned to washing the dishes with a lot of anger. If it was not for his feelings for Emily, he would not be here.An hour later, Edward returned to his room and read the latest email on his cell phone. There were three large words in red, "Job Application Rejected.""Again?" Edward took a deep breath. This was the fourteenth rejection of the fourteen applications he had sent before.Edward indeed did not dare to claim to be a business genius, but he was still convinced of his talent in this field. Without knowing why all his job applications were rejected, he could only suffer in disappointment."I have to get a job as soon as possible so that the Westbrook family doesn't see me as a garbage."Two days later."Edward Windsor, please enter the room!"This afternoon, Edward attended an interview at a new company, hoping to be accepted due to the small number of competitors. However, when Edward entered the room, he froze when he saw someone very familiar. Edward did not know the man sitting behind the desk, but the beautiful woman standing next to the man was his girlfriend, Emily Westbrook!Seeing the man hugging Emily's waist, Edward unconsciously shouted, "Emily, what are you doing here?"The man sitting behind the desk was angry. He was just about to attack Edward when he heard Emily speak to him."Honey, he's my fiancé that I've been talking about. You see? Doesn't he look unreliable?"The man behind the desk was surprised and began to appraise Edward.Edward was tall and quite handsome, but as Emily had previously told him, Edward was very poor and had no background. If it was not for the family's order, Emily would not have accepted Edward.The man behind the desk smiled at Emily and said, "Very well. Since he was briefly engaged to you, I'll put him in the cleaning service section.""Wow, that's quite a high position! Thank you, honey." Emily lowered her face and kissed the man's cheek, but at the same time, the look on Emily's face revealed satisfaction as her eyes glanced at Edward.Seeing and hearing all that, Edward stared at Emily with a mountain of anger. He did not need to be a smart guy to judge the situation."Emily! We've been engaged for two years, and I've never let you down. I obeyed everything you said even if it made me embarrassed and humiliated. During this time, you also never let me hug you or kiss you, but I was willing to wait until you were ready. Emily, I thought you were a woman of principle, but apparently I was wrong all along."Emily who was standing in a sexy dress, shuddered, but she immediately became polite and arrogant at the same time. "Look at you, shouting like a person with no manners. You can't compare to this man at all. Do you know who he is? Oh, I forgot that your social circle is too small. Let me introduce you. He's the son of the owner of this company, the future sole heir of a high-class family in this town, William Green. As for you, you're just a piece of gum stuck under my shoe. So get out of my life. You're worthless."The Green family was one of the top families in the city of York. Although they were not in the top 10 richest families, their influence was enough to make William Green behave like a big boss."How is it, Edward? Do you accept this job?" William remained as calm as ever. To him, Edward's existence was completely meaningless.Edward cast a hateful glance at Emily. He did harbour romantic feelings towards Emily, but as an ordinary human being, he had a limit of tolerance."Emily, since you seem confident in your choice, I'm not going to stop you. Then I'll go see grandpa to discuss the will."Emily gasped as she watched Edward walk away.Feeling Emily's hands trembling, William hurriedly asked in a worried tone, "What's wrong?"Emily shook her head weakly. "It's quite a long story. The point is, as long as Edward wants it, grandpa will be willing to give all of his wealth to Edward."William was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure. "Don't worry. After we get married, you and your family won't be short of money.""I know, but still...."William could not stand seeing Emily like this, so he said, "Okay, I'll do something about this matter."An hour later, Edward arrived at the hospital where Emily's grandfather was being treated. Edward was parking the motorbike in the basement when four burly men surrounded him from all sides.One of them asked, "Are you Edward?""I am. Who are you?""Mr William left a message. If you want your life to be less miserable, never bother the Westbrook family."Edward finally understood. "Tell him to stay out of my business."The four men simply nodded to each other before they started beating Edward. It was currently very quiet so they could do it without any worries."Enough. Looks like this man has passed out."Edward was left in a miserable condition. He was taken to the emergency room after someone found him.A few hours later, Edward opened his eyes and felt a great deal of pain. He was about to sit up when a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.[Ding! Verification complete. Welcome to the Domination System.]Not yet recovered from his shock, a transparent screen appeared before Edward.[User : Edward Windsor][Strength : 5/100][Intelligence : 15/100][Mentality : 10/100][Domination Points : 0][Special Skills : None]Edward's brain seemed to stop working as he looked at the System screen. He was too confused to know what to say.[Ding! Obtaining the initial reward. Please check your account balance.]Edward spontaneously took his cell phone from his pants pocket. Although it was slightly damaged, at least it was still functioning normally."This ...!"Edward's eyes widened like bowls once he found out his current balance. He rubbed his eyes as the amount was too unreasonable."A quadrillion dollars? What the ..."Edward could not believe what he was seeing. He had never seen such a huge amount of money before in his life. He tried to calm himself down and think logically. Was this some sort of prank or scam? But as he looked at the Domination System screen in front of him, he could not deny the reality of the situation.Suddenly, another message appeared on the screen.[Ding! Obtaining 9 Domination Points.][Congratulations on receiving the initial prize. You can use the Domination Points to enhance your abilities or purchase various items.]Edward's mind started racing as he thought about what he could do with all this wealth and power. He knew that he had to be careful and not attract too much attention. But first, he had to be sure of something."System, can you keep this a secret? I don't want anyone else to know about this." Edward said this in the quietest voice he could.[Only you can see and hear the Domination System.]Edward breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if anyone found out
Everyone was startled. Since Edward entered the store, the atmosphere became quieter, so everyone could hear what he was saying."Excuse me, sir, but could you repeat your order?"Edward glanced at the girl's nametag. It had the name Brenda written on it. "Brenda, right? I only have two minutes, so I hope you can get to work as quickly as possible."Once again, Brenda glanced at Emma, and after getting her approval, Brenda immediately asked another employee to collect Edward's order."I'm sorry, sir, but you'll likely have to wait for a few minutes. Is this okay?"Edward nodded, then turned around and spoke to Emma, "You see? I have absolutely no intention of stalling."However, before Emma could respond, Misha interjected in a rather loud voice, "I don't know where your confidence comes from, but seeing how dirty you are, you must have been beaten so badly that your brain has lost its sanity. But now that I think about it, the Westbrook Family would be happy if you ended up in jail."
Emily shook her head. "No, I don't think so. Grandpa wouldn't do something like that without telling us.""Then, how did he get that much money? It must be from some illegal activities. That brat is no good, I always knew it," Camille said, pacing back and forth in the living room."Shall I call William and see what can be done?"Camille nodded in agreement. "I almost forgot that I have a very rich future son-in-law. Quick, call him now.""Okay."Meanwhile, Edward was in a three-star hotel room. He chose this place because it was very close to the Shennan boutique. After taking a quick shower and getting dressed in his new clothes, Edward looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. Edward felt good, and his clothes was perfectly tailored. His hair was still slightly damp but otherwise he had perfect posture. "Looks like I'm ready to own a luxurious house," Edward thought to himself as he grabbed his wallet and headed out of the hotel.Edward arrived at the Poseidon Club and was imme
Edward turned his head and saw his new friend, James, walking towards him. Edward felt a surge of relief wash over him as he realized that he might have a way out of this dangerous situation."James, thank God you're here. Do you have a silver membership card for the Poseidon Club?" Edward asked, his body still shaking slightly.James nodded and pulled out a silver card from his pocket. "I do. But why do you need it?"Edward quickly explained the situation to James, and James' expression turned serious as he listened.On the other hand, everyone was shocked when they found out that Edward's friend was James Hurley, the future heir to the legendary Hurley family. Even for William and Harold, their faces turned as pale as white paper at this time.On the one hand, William came from the wealthy Green family, whereas Harold was the head of the Shennan family who was respected everywhere he went. But when compared to the Hurley family, William and Harold had no other choice but to be humble
Edward just smiled and said nothing. He did not want to speak carelessly before building up enough pseudo-background.A minute later, the payment was successful, and Kieran rushed off to take care of the house papers after exchanging phone numbers with Edward.[Ding! Mission completed. Congratulations! You obtained 10 Domination Points and an advanced Healing Touch Skill.]This time, Edward had prepared himself. He knew that the System notification would ring in his mind. However, the Healing Touch Skill completely amazed him. If the ability of this skill matched his prediction, would not he become the greatest doctor in the world? This skill was simply too heaven-defying!Edward tried his best to hide his excitement. It was undeniable that the first thing on his mind was to cure Emily's grandfather, but Edward felt the need to sort out a few things first.Because this transaction took place in front of the reception desk, Edward finally got his membership card. In York city, Edward b
Brenda's mind was filled with various thoughts. Edward was rich, and he was quite handsome. She should be happy that a man like Edward took an interest in her. It's just that the current situation was different from before. Someone like Edward would not hurt her family like those people.For now, Brenda was not uninterested in Edward, but she did not want to be seen as a gold digger. "Mr Edward, can you give me 3 months? If I still can't pay, then... then... I will agree to whatever you ask."Edward realized something only after hearing that answer. He laughed before replying, "Sorry, I guess my words were too ambiguous. What I meant was, I want you to work for me, and I will give you forty thousand dollars a month. Are you interested?"Brenda had a hard time believing her ears. Forty thousand dollars a month? That's a year's salary at Shennan's Boutique!"Why... why are you doing all this?" Brenda was of course delighted, but she also knew that Edward seemed to have other intentions t
George shook his head. "I don't know who did it, but I have a suspicion.""What is it?""The person who killed your grandfather was most likely from the Poseidon Club."Edward's expression turned cold when he reminded of Harold Shennan's actions, where that old man dared to threaten him in front of the crowd."What exactly is this Poseidon Club?" Edward asked.George appeared lost in thought, gazing up at the ceiling as if recalling events from a distant past. "The Poseidon Club may have a clean public reputation, but it's actually a secretive organization that has been around for decades. They have significant influence behind the scenes, manipulating the government, the economy, the media, you name it. They operate according to their own set of rules, and those who violate them will face serious consequences."Edward felt a sinking feeling in his chest. If what George said was true, then the person who killed his grandfather was not just an ordinary criminal, but someone who had imm
With a contorted expression of disgust, Jacob directed his attention towards Edward. "Who are you? Can't you see we're having a private conversation? Get out!"Edward's tone grew more intense as he responded, "Private conversation? That's not a private conversation. That's sexual harassment!""I'm not trying to force myself on anyone. I'm just suggesting a way for her to pay for the dress she ruined," Jacob replied, his tone becoming defensive."That's bullshit and you know it.""Enough! You don't know who you're messing with, kid. I can make your life a living hell." Jacob thought that Edward was one of the boutique's employees so he was not afraid at all.Edward straightened his posture, focusing his gaze on Jacob. "I dare you to try me."Jacob stepped forward, his face inches from Edward's. "You're making a big mistake, kid. You have no idea who you're dealing with. Security! Come here!"Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hallway. A stunning and well-dressed woman e
