"I need to use the restroom for a minute." Damian scanned Steve's appearance from head to toe. "There's something different about you. Are you Mr. Al?" Steve was nervous. Damian looked at Felix suspiciously. "Who are you?" The man immediately hid his silicone mask behind his back. "I'm Mr. Al's assistant." "I kind of saw you once, but I forget where." "He was Alvarez's former assistant," Steve interrupted. Damian was surprised. "How did he get to work with you?" "Felix applied when my assistant resigned." "What a strange coincidence." Damian glanced at Steve. "Strange? What do you mean?" Steve said coldly, hiding his nervousness. 'Does Damian suspect me?' "Nothing." Damian smiled. "By the way, why didn't you hire Alvarez? Alvarez is more experienced than Felix. He can not only help organize your work schedule, but he can be your advisor." "I only found out Alvarez was working at my company because of this incident, whereas Louis recommended him to me before Alvarez work

"What's your answer?" "Why do you want me to divorce Cassandra?" Stephen asked bluntly. He didn't want to make Steve happy. Stephen planned to torture Steve's mind by torturing Cassandra without him being able to help her because Steve had no money and no power. However, after Steve became Vice-CEO of Rorizon Corp, Stephen would find it difficult to destroy him. Moreover, he was starting to have his journey ruined. "Because I never approved of your marriage. Besides, Cassandra deserves a better man than you," Steve sneered. Stephen's hands were clenched into fists, but Damian held them still. "All right. I'll do it, but I want you to give me 30% of Rorizon Corp." Steve was furious. "Do you want to drain Mr. Al's wealth?" Stephen grinned. "Doesn't Cassandra mean a lot to you? Isn't a 30% share not worth as much as your sister?" Instead of getting angry, Steve laughed. "I won't do it," Steve said, "because I can get Cassandra to divorce you without your help. She married you
The next day, Steve and Cassandra relaxed at a cafe near the Rorizon Corp office.The woman stirred her drink while watching Steve sitting in front of her. The man was busy typing on his laptop."Until when are you going to stare at me?" Steve gave Cassandra an exasperated glance. "You're keeping me from concentrating.""I still can't believe you're the Vice-CEO of Rorizon Corp now when you only work as a cleaning service. How did you get such a high position? Did you know Mr. Al before?""Of course not. But he recognized me as a former successful businessman. That's why he appointed me as Vice-CEO. Wouldn't you do the same if a former great man worked in your office?"Cassandra did not deny Steve's words. "Mr. Al is a good man. He knew I had to provide for my grandfather, so he gave me a decent job." Cassandra envied Steve's fate. His life was much happier and luckier than hers. Her life had been ruined since she decided to leave her family to pursue wealth. Was she receiving karm
Stephen managed to overtake Steve's car so he was ahead of him."Tsk!" Steve increased the speed of his car to the maximum limit. The sound of the two vehicles' exhausts boomed through the crowded city.For Steve, road racing is adrenaline-pumping and difficult. He had to share his focus with other vehicles and pedestrians who might suddenly cross the road.The Lamborghini Aventador swerves, overtaking vehicles in its path. Steve was annoyed that the distance between him and Stephen had gotten so far that he couldn't see the car anymore. "Tsk! He must have practiced or raced a lot before asking me to compete! Steve recognized Stephen as being as cunning as his father. His opponents deliberately chose matches he was rarely good at, so it would be easy to beat him.'But I won't give up!"System, help me!"[I will always help you, My Host]"I want to purchase the Penetrating Eye Item!"[Request is being processed. Please wait for a minute]A gray circle swirled on the man's transparen
Stephen's car reached the finish line before Steve caught up with him. "Argh!" Steve hit the steering wheel in annoyance. Stephen and Steve got out of the car. "How's the thrill of racing with me?" Stephen mocked and gave Steve a disparaging look. "You cheated! You deliberately harmed me with the oil and the cars to get in my way!" "You can't just accuse me! Isn't it normal for accidents to happen on the highway? It was just a coincidence!" Stephen denied. Steve's hands were clenched tightly. He had been so stupid not to realize Stephen's evil plan when he tried to kill him in the race. "You lost. Admit you're a fool. Now I'm going to kill those innocent children." "Don't!" Steve lashed out. "I swear I'll kill you if you hurt them!" "Are you sure you'll kill me in public?" Stephen giggled. Steve glanced around, realizing many citizens were watching them. "I want a rematch!" Steve demanded. "You can't." "Why are you afraid of losing?" Jacob interrupted. "This match wasn't
Jacob froze as Stephen stared at him."What about you, loser?" Stephen sneered. "Do you want to fight me?"Jacob swallowed hard. He wasn't willing to die to help Steve and the strange woman."I have to go. I still have a lot of work to do at the office." Jacob ran away before Stephen could force him to."Tsk! You loser!"On the other side, Steve's water ran down the corners of his eyes. The woman didn't move at all. "B-billie..." "Please... wake up." Steve's voice sounded soft, full of regret.He couldn't bear to lose her because of his mistake.Steve reached out to grab Billie's hand, but Stephen kicked her body into the corner of the ring ropes so Steve couldn't touch her."Do you love this girl?" Stephen pulled Billie's hair until she was dangling. "Let her go!" Steve snapped. "You can't hurt her! You're dealing with me, not her!"Stephen chuckled wickedly. "A lion will never let go of the prey it has caught." He asked his men for a penknife and handed him a cutter.Steve looked
