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
"Who are you?" Steve frowned in confusion. The gray-haired man looked familiar to him.Surprisingly, he knew about Alvarez.The old man approached Steve and extended his hand to shake. "I'm Daniel."Steve looked at the wrinkled hand warily, fearing a deadly weapon.Realizing Steve refused his handshake, Daniel lowered it back with a friendly smile."I'm not your enemy.""Who are you?" Steve repeated firmly. How did the stranger know his last name? No one knew about his identity except those closest to him."I am the owner of Forpus Corp. I would like to invite you to cooperate."Steve's eyebrows shot up in surprise. Didn't he see that he was bankrupt?"Unfortunately, Mr. Alvarez is dead. I cannot approve it because I only work as a cleaning service.""You don't have to lie, Mr. Alvarez. I know who you really are.""Sorry, I don't have time to talk to you. I have to go." Steve passed Daniel to leave, but he blocked his hand."Please don't make me angry, Mr. Alvarez." Daniel's friendly
When Audrey didn't answer, Steve held Audrey's shoulders."Hurry up and tell me what you want! Don't make me wait! I swear I'll give you whatever you want!""I want you to marry me."Steve was stunned. "What?! Are you serious?""Of course." Audrey smiled sweetly as she stroked Steve's sideburned jaw. "I loved you from the moment we met. I wanted to have you completely, but that bitch beat me to it.""Bitch? Who?""Sarah. But I'm glad you're divorced from that parasite.""How dare you call Sarah a bitch." Steve was slightly offended but did not snap at her."Why are you angry about insulting your ex-wife? Do you still love the woman who divorced you for no reason?""You don't know anything about the problems between me and Sarah, so you can't infer anything bad about her!" Steve scolded sternly.Audrey backed away, giving Steve a disappointed look. "You just ask Sarah about Ellen! Give her your help! I'm sorry I helped you!"She walked away."Wait!" Steve grabbed Audrey's hand. "You mu
Steve walked back and forth the next day near Audrey's apartment door. She hadn't come home since yesterday, making him anxious."What happened with her? Is Jacob after her too?"''Tsk! If I had Lifestyle Points, I could buy items to help me look for her."Throughout the dawn, Steve checked the System Market since it was unblocked. He found many fantastic items. One of them was God Eyes.That power could let Steve stalk someone remotely through the system's camera.However, a warning board appeared when Steve pressed it.[Sorry. You cannot purchase this power because it is not suitable for your profession]"What do you mean?"[You can only unlock items according to your profession, Mr. Steve. That item can only be purchased if you work as a police officer]Steve was annoyed, but he was too lazy to protest. He was impatiently waiting for Audrey's promise to bring Ellen back.Knock! Knock! Knock!Steve opened the door immediately. He was surprised to see the woman he was worried about s
Professor Han did not answer and focused on preparing the rest of the medical equipment. He didn't want to deal with Edgar for talking too much. Moreover, he had sworn never to speak to Edgar's victims. "Hey! Answer me!" Steve urged, staring at Professor Han's back in exasperation. "You'd better pray a lot because the blood sampling process will be harrowing since no anesthetic will be used." Professor Han scared Steve into stopping his urging. "Are you crazy?!" Steve screamed angrily. "Anesthetic drugs are costly. Mr. Edgar doesn't want to waste money on his merchandise." "Merchandise? What an asshole!" Professor Han approached Steve and took his blood using an injection. Steve winced softly, but it didn't hurt much for him. "You tricked me? It doesn't really hurt." "It's just the beginning." Professor Han checked Steve's blood sample to match it with Jacob's DNA. Not wasting a chance, Steve tried to remove the handcuffs that shackled him in various ways, but to no avail, a
