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
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 41 - Become the Grandson of a Conglomerate
"Your grandson? But-" "Don't ask so many questions. Do you want to get fired?" "I'm sorry, Mister." The security smiled at Steve. "You may enter." The house was huge. The distance between the fence and the lobby was long enough for them to take a golf cart. "Grandpa!" A beautiful woman ran to meet Charles and hugged him tightly. "Where have you been, Grandpa? I was so worried! Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" "Let go of me, Cassandra. I could have been killed." Charles's voice stuttered as Cassandra hugged him so tightly that breathing was difficult. The woman wearing the red dress immediately let go of his embrace. "I'm sorry, I was too happy to have you back." Cassandra turned to Steve. "Who is he, Grandpa?" "He's my helper." Cassandra scanned Steve's appearance from head to toe with an appraising look, then whispered to her assistant Leo and left. Not long after, the man in the black tuxedo returned with a thick envelope. "Take this, then leave." Steve stared
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 42 - Charles's Decision
"Steve!" Charles came over and hugged him tightly. "You're finally back! Don't leave me again!" He sobbed into Steve's shoulder. Steve's heart was torn to shreds hearing Charles' cries, understanding the kind Grandpa's sadness. He smiled as he rubbed Charles' back. "Calm down, Grandpa. I won't leave you again." Cassandra had told him about Steve Morgan. His character, his hobbies, and Morgan's moments with his grandfather. The man had died at the age of ten-fifteen years ago. If he was still alive, he would have been 25 years old. Steve had rehearsed briefly to act like Morgan. "Why are you sitting in a wheelchair?" "I got injured playing football." Steve smiled stiffly. Charles had completely forgotten that he wasn't Morgan. His dementia was already severe. "I'll take you to the hospital." "No need." "Come on!" Steve was forced to comply. After being examined at the hospital, the doctor told Cassandra that there was a foreign chemical in Steve's body that caused the para
The Charismatic Steve With System Chapter 43 - Sabotage
Cassandra was so wide-eyed that her eyeballs almost popped out. "Alvarez?!" Steve nodded briefly. "Impossible!" Cassandra certainly knew about the fifth-richest man in America. He was her arch-rival in the business world because, in a short period, Alvarez Corp had managed to rank as the fifth highest earning company in the USA. "Alvarez is dead! You can't lie to me!" Cassandra fumed. "You can search the internet for me." Cassandra did so immediately, but only Jack's face appeared. "Liar! You're not Alvarez!" Cassandra showed the results of the internet search. All it showed was Jack and his death. Steve was shocked. 'How could the news about me just disappear?' [I deleted it, Mr Steve] 'Why did you do that?!' [I had to restart everything due to the effects of the new system switchover. You earned that nickname from the previous system's rewards, so the system was forced to take everything away from you, including the memory of you as a conglomerate man from the public] 'S

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
