Steve clenched his fists tightly in anger but had to hold it in. Sarah would lose her parents if he aroused Jacob's anger because Jacob locked her in the house.

"What do you want? Say it."

"What are you able to give me?" Jacob mocked. "You don't have anything."

"You bastard! Give me back my parents!" Sarah cursed.

"I can't because they begged to live with me, and I never forced them. Besides, everything happened because of your fault. You didn't pick up your father's phone when your mother fainted. It would help if you had thanked me for saving your mother. If you had been a second too late, your mother would have died."

Sarah was stunned to hear that. She cursed her carelessness in trapping her parents in the lion's den.

"Where is my mother? I want to see my mother. I want to ensure she's okay because I don't trust you and my father. You guys always conspire to get whatever you want."

"I won't allow it."

"You have no authority to forbid me from meeting my parents! I'm his dau

    "I've decided not to think of you as my mother anymore. I can't bear all the pressure from you and Robert anymore. If Jacob kicks you out later, never return to me. Goodbye." Sarah smiled briefly before walking out of the room, crying bitterly. "Shit! She's so stubborn! How do I get Sarah to leave Steve?" Jennifer walked back and forth in a panic while biting her nails. She thought hard about finding a way, but she always failed. Jacob suddenly walked in without knocking first. "You look failed again, Mrs. Jennifer. You already know the consequences, don't you?" He said coldly. His eyes radiated disappointment. "That means you have no more reason to stay in my mansion and enjoy my money." "Please give me one more chance, Jacob. I promise to get Sarah to divorce Steve and marry you soon!" Jennifer pleaded as she grasped the man's hand, but he brushed her off. "I hate waiting!" "Please, Jacob." Jennifer cried as she hugged the man's tan legs. "Give me one more chance." Jacob grunte

Her status will also change, as she will become the mother-in-law of a conglomerate man.Steve nodded quickly. "Okay. But if you lose, you must stop bothering me and my wife.""Alright."

    Jacob returned to the mansion feeling upset. 'Shit! I failed to persuade Mr. Alvarez because Ellen already knew my reason. But how did she find out? Did she hire a spy to watch me all this time?" Jacob almost went crazy thinking about that. He shook his head quickly. "That's not important right now. Now, I must find a way to overturn Mr. Alvarez's decision. I can't fail to get Sarah back!" "I'm not willing to be defeated by a poor man like Steve." He was vengeful that Steve had managed to snatch Sarah away from him. Jacob didn't understand his boss's way of thinking at all. Did he never watch the news, so he didn't know about Sarah's scandal? Because only a fool would give up millions of dollars for a loss. Had Mr. Alvarez known Sarah before, or had they dated? It's no secret that many actresses are willing to sell their bodies for promotions or intangible wealth. Jacob shook his head quickly. "There is no way Mr. Alvarez knows a lowly actress like Sarah.

    Sarah was looking at herself in the mirror of the Entertainment Stellar bathroom to check her appearance. Soon, she had to do some photo shoots for the cover of her latest movie, so she had to make sure her appearance was perfect. "I didn't expect my dream to come true." A cheerful smile printed on her beautiful face. Krek! Sarah turned her head towards the door as someone entered the bathroom. "Jacob?" The woman was wide-eyed. "What are you doing in the women's bathroom?! Do you want to peek at the women here?!" Jacob chuckled as he walked over to Sarah. "You're right. I want to peek at the woman I love." "Who do you mean?" Sarah said curtly. She hated flirty married men. "I'm sure you know because you're the only woman here, darling." "Get away from me!" Sarah yelled angrily as she stepped back. Jacob's gaze looked so passionate. Unfortunately, she was cornered when her back hit the wall, and there was no way to run. "What are you doing?! I'll scream if you insolence me!"

Jacob went back to work and typed on his laptop "I won't leave until you grant my request." Jenny sat in front of Jacob. "Are you deaf? I've said it many times. I won't comply because you have no talent." "You shouldn't underestimate me, Jacob. I graduated from a top university." Jenny thrust a red folder in front of Jacob. "You can see it."

"You're going to be one of them, Peter." Jennifer smiled proudly. Arriving at the door, Jennifer and Peter passed Steve, who was mopping. "Look at that. We did it, Steve. Now Mrs. Ellen is calling us." Jennifer said haughtily. Steve pretended to smile happily. "I'm glad to hear that. I hope you get the CEO position, Peter." "Without your prayers, I could have gotten it, you idiot!" "I'll tell Mrs. Ellen to fire you. So be prepared for bad luck!" Peter laughed wickedly.

"Can I meet Mr. Rodriguez?" Steve asked politely. The woman glanced at his appearance from head to toe. “Do you have an appointment with him?” "No, I don’t." "Sorry, but you can't meet him." "Please, I have something important to discuss with him.""You should leave and fix your appearance first. You look like a homeless person." Steve was annoyed but didn’t want to argue.

A soft knock on the door broke his concentration. A beautiful woman entered, carrying several large gift boxes in her arms. She smiled politely as she approached him. “Excuse me, sir. Someone sent these as a congratulatory gift for your first day,” she said, placing the boxes on his desk. Steve’s brows furrowed. “Who sent them?” “I’m not sure, sir. Even the delivery person didn’t know,” she replied. A strange feeling crawled up his spine. Something about this didn’t feel right. “Thank you.

'Carlson?'“Yes. I’ll transfer it tomorrow. For now, I can’t touch the funds because the boss’s assistant will be here today to review the restaurant’s income. I can’t manipulate the numbers right now.” “That’s disappointing.” Carlson suddenly stepped out, his face twisted in irritation. “What are you doing here?!” “I’m here to deliver coffee to Mr. Adam,” Steve answered politely. “What’s going on, Mr. Carlson?” Adam followed Carlson out.

    Steve ignored his coworker’s earlier warning. “Probably just some workplace drama,” he muttered to himself. He didn’t have time for vague concerns. His focus was on completing his daily mission and earning enough System Coins to rebuild Alvarez Corp. It was 10 PM, and the restaurant was still buzzing with activity. Steve hustled between tables, delivering food and drinks to guests. Meanwhile, Adam watched him closely from his office monitor, a sly grin creeping across his face. “Step one is done,” Adam murmured, recalling his meticulously planned scheme. “Now, let’s see how far you can fall, Steve.” As he exited his office, a distinguished man entered the restaurant. The man, in his mid-50s, wore an expensive suit that exuded wealth and power. Adam immediately stepped forward to personally greet the guest and escorted him to the VIP area. “Steve!” Adam’s authoritative voice called out. “Yes, sir?” Steve quickly approached, balancing a tray in his hands. “This is Mr. Carl

    Steve held a small chip, no bigger than a memory card, in his hand. His face lit up with triumph as he reflected on everything he had endured to acquire it. It had been a month since that bloody incident that almost cost him his life. "With this, I don’t have to fear anyone anymore," he murmured, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. "Now I can focus on rebuilding Alvarez Corp from scratch." But his thoughts were restless. The journey was far from over. The world he lived in—a battlefield of competition and betrayal—wouldn’t let him climb back up so easily. "System, give me a mission to earn money. I need funds to restart my company."

    Stephen entered Alan’s underground base, flanked by ten highly trained bodyguards. Alan approached him just as Stephen stepped out of the elevator. “So, how did it go? Did you manage to extract the chip or system from his head?” “Yeah. Here it is.” Alan handed him a small box containing the chip. Stephen took it, opened it, and smirked with satisfaction. “Now, return my daughter,” Alan demanded firmly. “I’ll return her after I see Steve’s corpse,” Stephen replied coldly. “That wasn’t our deal!” Alan protested. “You seem nervous. Don’t tell me you’ve been colluding with Steve?” Stephen accused confidently. “If you want to see your daughter, just show me his dead body. That should be easy enough, shouldn’t it?” Alan clenched his fists in frustration. “You’re as much trouble as your father. Fine. Follow me.” Stephen trailed Alan into an operating room.

    Stephen sipped his coffee, his sharp eyes locked on the monitor in front of him. The screen displayed a chaotic shootout between Steve, Alan, and a group of armed men. A sly smirk curled on his lips. “I’m certain Alan will pull it off,” Stephen chuckled darkly. If Alan managed to seize Steve’s system, he would have no rivals left, and his father’s revenge would finally be complete. ‘With this, I’ll reclaim my title as the richest man in the world,’ he thought smugly. He then turned his attention to the woman tied up beside him. Her hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was sealed with duct tape. “What do you think? Will Steve win and save you, or will he die a miserable death at Alan’s hands?” Stephen sneered at Cassandra. Cassandra squirmed against her restraints, mumbling angrily through the tape. Her furious expression made Stephen laugh mockingly. “Speak up! I can’t hear you, idiot,” he taunted. ‘You bastard!’ Cassandra cursed silently. ‘I need to escape before Steve
