The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 33 - She is The Culprit!
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
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 34 - Ellen, I'm Glad to See You Again!
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
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 35 - My Rescuer
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
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 36 - Psychiatric hospital
"What's wrong, Steve? Why do you look stunned?" Audrey was astonished when see Steve's expression. "I'm just wondering why you're still working with Jacob after you know his identity." Audrey snorted heavily. "I have to keep his feelings in check since he knows my reasons; he will plan to hurt me and my family." Steve nodded in understanding. It was a logical decision. "We got engaged not out of love but out of indebtedness because he managed to find a donor for my father. Jacob's company was still in its infancy, so he needed funds from Ramos Corp to get going. Unfortunately, my father liked him so much that our engagement showed cooperation." Now Steve knew why Audrey knew Jacob's hobby so well. "But I called it off on the grounds of barrenness." "Barren?!" Steve was wide-eyed. Audrey chuckled. "I'm not sterile. It was just a trick of mine, darling. I'm grateful that he immediately agreed to the annulment." Steve was amazed that Audrey was brilliant at making decisions. "I
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 37 - I'm Alvarez, Sarah
Steve immediately carried Sarah to the emergency room at the psychiatric hospital. "Hang in there, Honey." Steve tried to calm Sarah down when she wouldn't stop moaning in pain. "Everyone, help me! My wife is sick!" His shout echoed down the old hallway. Several nurses hurriedly brought in a gurney, and then Steve laid Sarah down and pushed her into the emergency room. Steve was prevented from entering. "Sorry, you can't come in, Mister." "I want to be with my wife! I'm her husband!" Steve insisted. "You should wait here to avoid disturbing the doctor and nurses." One of the nurses quickly closed the door. Steve walked back and forth, praying that Sarah was okay. What had happened? Why was blood suddenly flowing from her thighs? Steve couldn't stop thinking about it. He was afraid of losing Sarah forever. Before long, the doctor came out looking tense and worried. "What happened to my wife? Is she okay?" Steve asked quickly. His heart almost stopped at the man's expression
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 38 - Lost One Chance
[Warning! You violate the system command, then you lose one System Heart][System Heart: 2][Punishment: You'll lose all the wealth you've earned!]"What's wrong, Steve?" Sarah was confused as the man's face paled.'What is a System Heart?[System Hearts are opportunities. If your System Heart runs out, this wealth system will be lost. Forever]Steve swallowed hard. He was too rash to think of the consequences. Out of love, he had made a fatal mistake.'Give me one more chance! I promise I won't repeat my mistake again!' Steve pleaded, hoping for mercy. He didn't want to suffer anymore from poverty. Moreover, he and Sarah were about to become parents, and it would cost a lot of money to support their children.Steve didn't want his children to grow up in economic hardship like he had in the orphanage.[I'm sorry, Mr. Steve. I can't do anything to help you. I have to take all your wealth. It's a system rule that I can't break]"Steve! Answer me! What happened to you?!" Sarah's scream
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 39 - Accepting the Consequences
Steve opened his eyes slowly as he smelled the pungent aroma of drugs. His blurry vision gradually improved so that he could see everything. He looked around and found himself lying with an IV and oxygen attached to his body. Without asking, Steve already knew he was in a hospital. "What happened?" Steve's whole body crumpled as he tried to sit up. "Ouch ...." The man held his aching head as he tried to remember what had just happened to him. "Son of a bitch! How dare they cheat me when I'm broke." Steve didn't expect his partnership to eat into his wealth using trickery when he was broke. "You've finally awake, Darling. I was so worried about you." Sarah smiled happily as she approached Steve. The woman had just finished negotiating with the hospital manager for time to pay off the hospital fees. "What about our baby, Honey? Is baby fine? You didn't miscarry, did you?" Steve was anxious, afraid they'd mistreated Sarah while he was unconscious. Sarah took Steve's hand and
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 40 - The New System
Steve just looked down, unable to defend himself. Robert was right. He was the leading cause of Peter's death. Even though he wasn't involved with Ellen's plan, he supported her. "I will never leave Steve, forever! He's not a murderer!" "You bastard! If you keep choosing Steve, get out of my house! I don't want to think of you as my daughter anymore!" "Okay!" Sarah replied firmly. "Come on, Steve, let's leave that asshole's house!" She pushed the man's wheelchair out with Jennifer. "Sarah, stop it. Your father's right." Steve's voice was soft on the porch. "You stay here, I'll go alone." "No! I'm not leaving you! Don't make me do that!" Sarah was exasperated. "You know I have nothing any more but my body, Sarah. Now I'm a cripple. I don't want you to suffer." "I don't care! I want to be with you!" Sarah insisted. Tears of regret flowed from Steve's eyes. "Please... listen to my request. I promise I'll pick you up when I'm successful." Sarah could not hold back her tears. F

161 - Duel
Steve closed the last of the 100 books after spending two hours in the library. He absorbed all the knowledge with the help of the system’s item, so he didn’t even need to read. After taking in all the material, Steve started writing a proposal to pour out his ideas. "I hope CEO Rodriguez likes my ideas." He headed to Rodriguez Corp and approached the receptionist. "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. He didn’t have much time. "What's going on?"*Steve instinctively turned toward the voice. A man in his 30s was looking at him curiously. "This gentleman wants to meet Mr. Rodriguez." "Why are you looking for him?" the man asked. "I’m
Chapter 160 - A Gift Brings Disaster
The next day, Steve sat in his office at Anderson Corp, staring blankly at the transparent screen in front of him. His thoughts were tangled, his mind unable to focus. "How am I supposed to do this?" he muttered. For twenty minutes, he had been frozen in his chair, completely clueless about his next move. [Main Quest: Save Anderson's Daughter][Time Limit: Unlimited][Reward: Mystery]"I don’t even know who Anderson’s daughter is," Steve mumbled under his breath, rubbing his temple. 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.

Lewis and Adam walked side by side toward Anderson's office, grinning with excitement. “Looks like Mr. Anderson will promote us for hitting the target,” Adam said confidently.They entered the office. “Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson.”“What are you doing here, Steve?” Adam froze in shock.“He just informed me of something important,” Anderson replied coldly, sipping his wine leisurely.Lewis and Adam exchanged puzzled glances. “Have a seat,” Anderson ordered.The two obeyed, while Steve remained standing beside Anderson.“I must say, I’m surprised by your performance,” Anderson began, his smile insincere. “I’m considering changing your positions.”Lewis and Adam silently cheered. Finally, a promotion was within reach.“Are you promoting me to financial manager, as promised?” Adam asked eagerly.Anderson remained silent, taking another sip of his wine.“And what about me, sir?” Lewis chimed in. “A few months ago, you praised my work. Will I also be moving up?”“The Vice-CEO position is
Chapter 158 - An Enticing Reward
The next day, Steve returned to work as usual. This time, his task was to deliver coffee to Adam’s office. Ding!Steve stopped in his tracks as a transparent screen appeared in front of him. [Daily Mission Unlocked: Perform One Good Deed] [Reward: $1,000,000] “Are you serious?!” His excitement was interrupted by the sound of a conversation. “So, Adam, have you prepared the money to invest in my insurance company?” Steve froze outside the door, instantly recognizing the voice. '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. His sharp gaze landed on Steve. “Why are you standin
Chapter 157 - Public Humiliation
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
Chapter 156 - A Troublesome Mission
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." [Understood, Mr. Alvarez.] A transparent screen popped up before him, displaying a new mission. [Daily Mission: Work as a waiter at Greyson Corp’s luxury restaurant.] Steve’s brow furrowed as he read the task. “What? A waiter? In a restaurant? That’s humiliating.” [Starting from the bottom is essential for you to gain System Coins and re
Chapter 155 - Impending Disaster
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. Alan pulled back a sheet covering Steve’s lifeless body. His face was pale and still. Stephen reached out to check the
Chapter 154 - A Deception
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
