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
"You can't fool me, damn it! You can't possibly do that because you only think of Jacob as a stranger!" "I already did, not that I 'will' do it. Don't you understand my vocabulary?" Charles chuckled."But Jacob never received any wealth from you!""I didn't say I gave it to Jacob.""So?""Have you forgotten you have two sons?""You don't know anything about me! I only have one daughter and a son!" There was disappointment in Edgar's eyes."Have you forgotten you have a son from another woman?"Edgar's face turned tense. He looked away, turning away from Charles' intimidating gaze.How could Charles still bring up his past again?"Stop talking about that child. He's dead.""He's not dead."Egdar spontaneously looked at Charles in shock. "He survived the accident.""How come?!""I knew it. You were the one who tampered with the brakes of my daughter-in-law's car so that she died in the accident while she was carrying your son. Were you not satisfied raping Clarita, your sister-in-law
Steve came back to the restaurant with a fierce face."Are you deaf?! How dare you come again!"Steve took off his mask, startling Egdar's aides. "Steve?""Get out of the way! I want to come in." The aides were slightly stunned at Steve's physical transformation. His muscles were bulging under his clothes. His gaze was piercing, as if he wanted to pounce on anyone who came near him. His aura looked terrifying, like a lion defending its territory."How dare you come here after you hurt Young Master Jacob!""He deserved it!""Bastard!" With all their courage, ten people rushed at Steve. Nimbly, Steve punched them two in the stomach in one go, making them groan in pain while lying on the ground.Hearing the groans, the rest of their comrades rushed over."Steve?!"Steve tore off his clothes in one pull and revealed his muscular body. He carried a rifle, which he had taken from his victim, in his shirt."Do you want to get hurt like them?" Steve's voice sounded flat, but it made them
