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

    "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

    "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

    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

    Steve wore a cleaning service uniform while carrying cleaning equipment. He went through the VVIP rooms individually, starting from the first floor. "Which room are they meeting in? I need to find it as soon as possible before the staff suspects me." "Steve, what have you been doing all this time?! You quickly clean up the VVIP room on the fourth floor! A customer accidentally spilled juice!" Hendrick, the restaurant manager, scolded him. "Okay, boss." 'Shit! I shouldn't waste time doing this!' Steve was forced to comply and climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. However, his steps stopped before the brown door when he heard the sound of conversation. "Audrey? I finally found her." When Steve grasped the door handle to open it, he was surprised when someone called out to him. "What are you doing here?" Steve was startled and spontaneously turned to the owner of the voice. "You?" "I didn't expect you to be working as a cleaning service worker here." Cassandra sneered. "Is

    The next day. Cassandra paced back and forth in her office at Charles Corp. She had just heard that Jatson Corp managed to rank first as a high-earning company, displacing her company at number two. As a result, Charles Corp's income dropped dramatically. "Shit! How dare Steve lie to me!" Cassandra cursed her decision to believe Steve's nonsense because the news proved that Audrey had gotten the project. "Besides, there's no way Mr. Adnan would listen to a request from a foreign and uninfluential man like Steve!" Cassandra cursed. "What are you doing, Honey?" Damian entered with a smile. Confusedly, he frowned at the upset look on his girlfriend's face. "What's wrong? Why do you look upset?" "Haven't you heard the news yet?" Cassandra said curtly. Damian was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, I've heard it. We've lost to Jatson Corp." "Tsk! I didn't expect to lose to that bastard." Cassandra stared disappointedly out the window. Her hopes had been dashed. Damian

    Damian was annoyed that Audrey had simply switched off their call when he was so curious. How could that bum be Mr. Alvarez? Audrey must know something about Steve. "I'm sure Audrey is lying. What exactly did Steve and Audrey have in the past? Why does Audrey hate him so much?" Damian shook his head slowly. "I have to put that issue aside first. I must find a way to thwart Cassandra and Adnan's cooperation before Audrey leaves me." Audrey was every man's dream woman. Besides being wise, she was gorgeous and never undermined his pride as a man. Cassandra was no different. Damian's girlfriend was always mean to him and never respected him. She always considered herself more powerful and intelligent than Damian. Damian turned to exit the restroom of a fancy restaurant in Los Angeles, but he was surprised to see someone standing behind him. "Wh-what are you doing here? How long have you been in the restroom?" Damian was suddenly nervous as Steve gave him a cold stare. "I was alrea

    Steve and Cassandra's activities stopped when someone knocked on Steve's bedroom door. He quickly got off her body, put his clothes back on, and opened the door. "Grandpa?" Steve was startled. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I'm looking for Cassandra. I can't find her in her room or study, and it's already dawn. She's not answering my calls either. I'm really worried about her." "She's fine." You don't worry." Steve was a little nervous when he stared Charles. He couldn't possibly say that Cassandra was in his room. "How do you know about that? Do you know where Cassandra is now?" Charles frowned in confusion. "Why are you sweating so much, and your clothes are wrinkled? Are you sick?" Lovingly, Charles checked Steve's heat on his forehead. "Oh my! You have a fever, Steve! Let's go to the hospital!" The older man immediately pulled his hand away. "I'm fine." Steve resisted gently, masking his tension. Though his body was hot, not from fever, it burned with desire. "You'll die if

    "Steve, answer me. What happened? Who is your mean?" Cassandra was a little confused as Steve looked alarmed.Cassandra rolled her eyes lazily and left when Steve didn't answer. A middle-aged man passed by the woman while taking out a needle from his ring.Steve immediately approached the man and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, sir. Thank you for attending this event."The man winced in pain as Steve squeezed his hand so hard. Before Steve knew it, blood was flowing from his hand and dripping onto the floor."Oh my God! Blood!" The guests squealed in shock at the sight of so much blood on the floor.The man let go of his hand to escape, but Steve grabbed him by the arms and neck."I won't let you run away, damn it! How dare you want to hurt my big sister!""Let go of me!""Tell me, who told you to?!"The guests immediately stepped back and watched them from afar."Steve, let him go! Do you intend to kill him in front of the reporters? You'll defame the good name and prestige of Cha

    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

    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

    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

    "You will know it when you've met my father," the man replied.'Tsk!' Steve was annoyed that the man was delaying answering, even though he was very curious.Once at the bottom, the elevator opened, revealing a wealth of advanced technology as far as the eye could see.Steve was wide-eyed with shock. 'What is this place?' He glanced suspiciously at the man standing next to him, accusing him of dangerous experiments.However, Steve chose to remain silent. He didn't want to misspeak and put Cassandra in danger.The man guided Steve to all the mysterious rooms."Dad, I've brought it."The old man who was in a laboratory turned to his son. He smiled broadly when he saw Steve."Finally, I met you, son.""Who are you?""I'm Professor Alan."Steve didn't recognize the old man at all, but Alan seemed to."Have we ever known each other?""You may not know me, but I met you and made you the successful young man you are today."'What does he mean?"

    The thugs led them to the headquarters, their hideout. They handcuffed Steve and Margaretha's legs and gagged them with handkerchiefs to prevent them from screaming for help and causing a public disturbance.Steve pretended to be limp from their knocks to find out the bandits' headquarters, as they might have Cassandra hidden there.The car entered the dense and steep forest until many times their car got stuck in the mud.'I bet they hid Cassandra here!' Steve's hunch grew stronger as the location could not be detected by the police or the common people.'I'll save you, Cassandra. Wait for me!' Steve muttered.After much effort, the car finally arrived at an old tree.Steve frowned in surprise when there were no buildings or houses in that place."Put them down!""Yes, boss!"Four men herded Steve and Margaretha out of the car and into the giant, monstrous-looking old tree.The sounds of crickets and forest animals rang out loudly, inviting horror.Steve hesitated and trembled with f

    Steve tried to stay calm so as not to be suspected further. He climbed the janitor's fire escape, then glanced back to find the man still following him. 'Tsk!' Steve cursed to himself. Arriving on the thirteenth floor, Steve walked down the corridor to Max's mother's apartment unit, but the man was still following him. However, at the intersection of the corridor, the mysterious man made a turn, much to Steve's relief. Knock! Knock! Knock! Steve knocked on the door of Max's mom's apartment. Shortly after, an old woman opened the door and came out. "Who?" "I'm the janitor." Steve smiled kindly. Margaretha nodded. "Please come in." Steve entered the apartment and locked the door. He checked every corner of the room and funiture to make sure there were no listening devices. Margaretha frowned in confusion as Steve searched her apartment without permission. "What are you doing?" She asked. "What are you looking for in my apartment?" Steve approached Margaretha, and held h

    Steve glanced around. Twenty plainclothes men surrounded him with weapons. Steve had no hope of escape. "You won't be able to fight all my men because I've trained them to kill humans." Max taunted as Steve looked deep in thought. 'Who the hell is that guy? Why does everyone in this place fear and respect him so much?' Steve muttered. "Answer my question, you idiot!" Max took offence to Steve ignoring him. "He's silent because he doesn't dare stand up to you, darling," Max's lover sneered at Steve. "Because you're the boss of the Philadelphia mafia." "You're our hero!" Max was a hero to them because he managed to fend off the cops who always wanted to arrest them. "He's right, Mr. Max. That man is a loser!" "Why aren't you escorted by your bodyguard when you want to make trouble with me?" Max mocked. "Why should I?" Steve asked coldly, making small talk. Max and everyone else were shocked.

    Steve hung up while remembering when System told him about the item. Flashback on. Steve hurriedly fled Stephen's office after receiving the notification from the System. He hurriedly got into his car and drove away from the building. "What is that item?" Steve asked quickly and curiously. [The Tracking Item will track the target you've specified] "I'll buy it!" [You must have Cassandra's hair or blood for the Tracker item to track her] "Hair?" Steve immediately thought of Cassandra's comb. "I can find her hair." Steve immediately entered Cassandra's room at her apartment and looked for her comb on the dresser. "What are you looking for, Steve?" Charles was astonished to see his grandson rummaging through Cassandra's dresser. "It's okay, Grandpa." Steve smiled a little as he focused on searching. He had to keep the fact that Cassandra had been kidnapped a secret. If Charles found out, he would be in severe shock and pain. "You're not lying to me, are you?" Charles was su

    Chapter 148 - Philadelphia

    "An hour?!" Steve was annoyed. "Stephen is such an asshole! He must have deliberately given me a little time so I wouldn't have a chance to find Cassandra using the system." Steve walked back and forth, biting his nails and trying to devise an idea to save Cassandra without giving up his company. He repeatedly checked the clock on his watch. Ten minutes had passed, but he hadn't come up with any ideas. If he used the system's help, it would take several days for the system to track Cassandra's whereabouts. "What should I do?" Steve was panicked and distressed. Stephen would not hesitate to kill Cassandra because he had a grudge against her for eliminating his father. On the other hand, he couldn't just hand over his company to that bastard either because his system would be gone forever. Stephen had to know that so Steve would have no power to protect his family. "Fu*k off!" "What's wrong with you, Mr. Alvarez? Why do you look upset?" Felix came over to his boss. "You just h
