Jonah, the receptionist, came back to Peter and Jennifer. "Ms. Ellen is waiting for you in her room. Let me take you there." Jennifer and Peter smiled happily. They had expected their plan to work. They followed the woman named Jonah to the 49th floor. Along the corridor, there were pictures of the top brass of Alvarez Corp heading toward Ellen's office. "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. Jonah was dumbfounded that the two strangers dared to insult the owner of Alvarez Corp. Who exactly were they? Did they not know Steve Alvarez? "Sorry, Mrs.
Finally, Ellen, Sarah, and her family arrived at the door of Alvarez's office.Ellen stood at the door with her heart beating fast. She hoped her decision was the right one and would not arouse Steve's anger.Meanwhile, Sarah and her family waited curiously for the brown door to open.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Mr. Alvarez, an important guest wishes to see you.""Who is it?" A male voice sounded from behind the door."Ms. Sarah and her family.""Send them in."Ellen opened the door and let them in.Sarah frowned when she saw a man sitting with his back to them in his office chair. Nervously, she approached the owner of Alvarez Corp with a polite smile."Good afternoon, Mr. Alvarez." Sarah was suddenly awkward, even though she often met with influential people, including business people.The man turned around, leaving Sarah wide-eyed."Nice to meet you, Ms. Sarah." The man smiled kindly at her. His eyes were a sparkling emerald, his skin was tan, and sideburns adorned his chin.Sarah guesse
"Does Jacob know Alvarez? Are they close friends? Did they conspire to frame me?" Sarah clenched her fists tightly. Lately, her guard had been down. She knew the entertainment world was a world of tricks and deceit. "What should I do now? Because I don't know who my enemy is." Sarah stared intently ahead. "Alvarez, who are you? What do I want from you? Can you be trusted? *** Nighttime. Steve returned to Jacob's luxurious mansion. He found Sarah pensive by the pool. Steve approached his wife and sat down beside her. "Sarah, how's work going? Is it going well?" Sarah was surprised by Steve's presence. "Why do you come home so late?" "I received a punishment from Ms. Ellen because you and your family made a mess in Alvarez Corp's office." Steve smiled a little. Sarah lowered sadly. For so many times, she and her family had burdened Steve. "I'm sorry." 'But your suffering will soon be over.' Sarah added. "It doesn't matter. You don't have to think about it." Steve smiled
"I will make you regret your decision!" Steve looked at Sarah angrily. "My daughter won't regret dumping a trashy guy like you in her life!" Jennifer shouted. "We'll see about that, bitch! I'll make you and the people here suffer like in hell!" "I'll wait for your vengeance, Steve." Jacob chuckled mockingly. "You won't be able to do it!" "We'll prove it, damn it! I swear you'll lose everything!" Steve left Jacob's luxurious mansion. He called Jack and ordered him to pick him up immediately. Soon, a sports car arrived and drove him to a club owned by Alvarez Corp. "Come on, get off. Get me drunk." Steve ordered. "Okay." Realizing Steve was not okay, Jack complied. When Steve entered, all the servants and higher-ups greeted him with a respectful bow. "We've prepared a VVIP room for you, Mr. Alvarez." Justin, the club manager, said politely. Jack had booked the room earlier when he found out Steve was in a bad mood. He knew what Steve wanted before his boss did. Steve looked
A few days later. Several famous singers took turns singing on stage to entertain the guests. Among the guests who filled the ballroom of the luxury hotel were artists and business tycoons. Jacob, Emmy, and Jenny mingle with the guests they know. And so did Sarah and her family. Since the success of her movie, she has received many compliments from other artists, so they have become close friends. Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Everyone turned around as someone tapped the microphone on stage. A beautiful woman wearing a sparkling black dress smiled kindly. "Thank you for taking the time to attend my birthday party. Please enjoy the show." Ellen stepped off the stage. "So you are the Vice-CEO of Alvarez Corp?" Audrey, the CEO of Ramos Corp, greeted Sarah's family. "That's right." Peter, who was wearing a navy tuxedo, smiled sweetly. He was mesmerized by the beauty of the woman wearing a pink dress. "It's awesome." She reached out to Peter to shake his hand. "I'm Audrey, CEO of Ramos Corp." "
To the apartment, Steve laughed contentedly. He sat next to Ellen while Jack drove. "Was my idea a good, Mr. Alvarez?" "Of course, Ellen. You're so smart! I'm proud of you." It was Steve's happiest day—finally, his revenge on the grudge he'd held onto for so long. The system had no problem with that. He could destroy Jacob, Emmy, and even Sarah's entire family in one day. "I must make you happy, My boss. Didn't I promise to prove my love?" Ellen smiled sweetly, teasingly. Steve was awkward. He quickly looked away to look out the window as his heart was pounding. Since Ellen declared love, Steve tried to keep his distance, but she never gave up and kept trying to get close to him. Ellen wasn't unattractive, but Steve was too fed up with love. Moreover, Ellen did not sincerely love him. He didn't know the time limit for the Charismatic System's power would end. He didn't want to be trapped in heartache again. Now, his focus was only one. That is to become the wealthiest man in
"We'd better order all your bodyguards to come with us, Mr. Alvarez, because I'm pretty sure Jacob's got all his men deployed as well," Jack suggested. "I agree with your assistant," Martin added. "I've already ordered my men to come to Jacob's mansion." "Don't do it!" Steve refused firmly while driving his car at lightning speed. "Why?" [Mission Updated: Don't bring bodyguards on raids] [Reward: 50 Lifestyle Points] The system screen kept appearing in front of Steve, stressing him out. He strongly agreed with Jack's idea but had no choice. If he violated the System's orders, he would lose everything. "If Jacob knows we brought bodyguards, he will think we want to fight against him. Then he won't hesitate to kill Ellen." Steve provoked. Roxy was afraid to hear that. Not long after, they arrived at Jacob's mansion. They broke in when they defeated the two guards guarding the gate. "Ellen! Where are you?" They searched every room and chamber of the luxurious mansion. Because o
Jacob's muscles were popping out from underneath his T-shirt, making Steve gulp loudly in fear. He didn't want to turn to the hospital like before. However, his eyes were transfixed by the fresh blood on his enemy's white T-shirt. "Come on, fight me. I'll give you a bad fate like Peter." "What have you done to him?!" Steve shouted angrily. Jacob was a cruel man. "I killed the young fool." Jacob chuckled with satisfaction as if he had found treasure. "That was very fun. Especially, when I heard his cry of pain. It's beautiful sound still rings clearly in my ears." Steve was wide-eyed with shock. "You are bastard!" "I'm jerk? Peter destroyed my company, so he deserves it," Jacob said casually without a guilty look. "Why would you do that?! Don't you care about the feelings of Sarah, the woman you love?! She must be devastated right now!" Jacob laughed evilly. "You're so stupid, Steve. I never loved her! The reason I'm always trying to get you and Sarah divorced is because I jus
