"I still have a little money in my savings from working as an artist bodyguard. You can use the money to rent an apartment.""But-""You can replace my money when you become successful again, Mr. Alvarez." Felix smiled sincerely as he handed his former boss his atm card.Steve was touched. "Thank you very much. I promise to reimburse you.""I'll wait for that day."****A few days later, Steve's life was no longer the same. The man looked at his appearance in the mirror sadly. He wore a white shirt, red forehead, and long black pants. Today, he would find a job to provide for his family."You're so handsome today, darling." Steve was surprised when Sarah suddenly hugged him from behind. Even though he was broke, he wasn't alone like he used to be."Thank you, darling.""Are you going to go look for a job?"Steve nodded, then turned to Sarah. "Wish me luck."Sarah nodded encouragingly. "I'm always praying for you. I'll also look for a job to help you.""No need! Work is a man's job!"
The hotel lobby was already filled with employees when a luxury car pulled up to the lobby. Steve included.A burly man opened the luxury car, and a man wearing a tuxedo emerged.Marco then entered the luxurious building with an arrogant and cold face. "Welcome, Mr. Marco!"The employees lined up neatly at the entrance while bowing respectfully to welcome their boss.Unfortunately, Marco was unaware that Steve was standing to greet him with the other employees.'Marco?! Is he the mysterious man?!'Steve gawked. 'Impossible!' Marco is the owner of Maxco Corp, a former partnership of Charles Corp.'Tsk! He's a traitor!' Steve swore."Have you prepared the meeting room as I ordered?" Marco asked Lucas."Of course, Mr. Marco." Lucas smiled politely.'Isn't that man Lucas?'Shortly after, a man exited his luxury car with a beautiful woman.'Jacob? Agatha? Why did they come here too?!'Several other business people came and entered the same room as Marco.'Looks like they're going to a me
'How do I destroy Marco? I've completely lost my mind. It's so hard to beat him because I don't have a system anymore.' Steve walked across the sidewalk at night. He had just gotten home from work. "Thank you so much, darling. Today, you have spoiled me. You even bought me some fancy stuff." Steve's walk stopped when he accidentally saw a woman holding hands with a man. They had just come out of the hotel. "That asshole!" Steve rushed over to them and punched the man in the black tuxedo in the face. "How dare you touch my sister!" Steve shouted angrily. "You're dead, Kaparat!" He sat on the man's stomach without stopping punching him. "Steve! Stop it! You're not crazy! Don't hurt him!" Cassandra pushed Steve away from Stephen. For the first time, she saw Steve raging uncontrollably. Slap! Steve held his sore cheek, but his heart hurt much more. "How dare you slap me!" "You deserved that even more than a slap!" snapped Cassandra. "I was just trying to protect you from this
There was only silence as Steve spoke the truth. Cassandra was stunned for a moment, then laughed mockingly. "Stop lying to me, Steve. I'm not a stupid woman. You must have deliberately used the traumatizing incident to scare me." "That won't work." Cassandra looked at herself in the mirror. "Now go away. I don't want to see you again until I'm officially Stephen's wife." "Why don't you trust me, Cassandra?" Steve looked disappointed. "Is it because you never thought of me as your brother? Is it because I'm the illegitimate son of your mother and uncle?" Cassandra glanced at Steve in the mirror. The man wearing a gray tuxedo looked sad and disappointed. His hands clenched tightly, and his eyes were misty. Despite that, Cassandra didn't say anything. She was at a loss to explain her current mood. "Alright, if that's what you want. I won't bother you or care about you anymore. From now on, pretend we never knew each other." Steve left feeling disappointed. Cassandra never appreci
The next day. Steve brought in a tray with four warm milks, toast, and jam and served it in front of Cassandra and Stephen. "Alvarez?!" Brielle was wide-eyed. "What are you doing here?!" "He's now working as a maid in this house and my chauffeur, Brielle." Stephen gave Steve a dismissive look. "You're so pathetic, Alvarez. You're so rich. It's karma that you chose that bitch over me." Brielle chuckled mockingly. 'You have to be patient, Steve. "Stop that. You should be polite to your brother-in-law, Brielle." Marco warned while smiling at Steve. "Forgive my daughter, Alvarez. She's a little childish." "No problem." Steve smiled kindly. 'You are very good at acting like you don't recognize me. I won't be fooled by your fake demeanor, Marco. "Why are you defending her, Dad? When you hate him too... Ouch!" Brielle winced in pain as Charles stepped on her foot under the table. After finishing breakfast, Cassandra found Steve in the kitchen. Her younger brother was busy washing
"What did you call me for, Mr. Alvarez?" Felix visited Steve's house as soon as he called. "I heard you had an accident." "It's true, but I'm fine." Felix and Steve sat across from each other in the living room of his apartment. "What's going on, Mr. Alvarez?" Felix was surprised when his boss looked joyful. "I have some good news for us, Felix." "What is it?" "I'm going to rebuild my company, Alvarez Corp." "Really?" Felix frowned in surprise. "Where did you get the money, boss? You didn't steal, did you?" "Of course not." Steve was exasperated. "I got my system back." "Really?" Felix was pleased. "But is there no risk when the system returns to you?" he asked anxiously. "No." Steve shook his head, then clenched his fists. "I have to destroy Marco. He was the one who sent the virus that blocked my system and prevented me from accessing my consciousness." "Marco? Do you mean Ms. Cassandra's father-in-law?" Felix guessed. Steve nodded. Felix was shocked. "Does he have a sy
"Why are you to meet me, brother?" Marco stared flatly at an old man walking towards him. "I wanted to talk to you." Ramos sat down in front of Marco. "About what?" Marco took a drag on his cigarette, then blew the smoke from his mouth into the air. "It's about Audrey, my daughter." "What happened to the woman? Is she up to no good again?" "My daughter ran away." Marco was neither surprised nor angry to hear that. "Didn't I tell you to lock her up until I finished destroying Alvarez?" "But Alvarez and Charles are already bankrupt. I think it's fine to let her go." Ramos reasoned. Marco chuckled wickedly. "You're right, but I want you to keep an eye on her." "Why?" "I'm still upset with Audrey. She's very unstable. Sometimes she wants revenge on Alvarez, but then she wants to marry the enemy," Marco explained. "Even if my plan works, I don't want Audrey to marry Alvarez. There's a possibility that she might expose my identity and report me to the police. The image I've bui
The old man smiled kindly at Steve. "You seem to be thinking about something complicated. What is it?"Steve was speechless. His body stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was pounding unsteadily.'What is this asshole doing here?' He cursed to himself.Marco sat beside Steve while patting Steve's shoulder familiarly."You are Charles's grandson, right?"Steve nodded. "Yes."Marco chuckled. "I didn't expect Mr. Charles to have a great-grandson like you, Alvarez. Surprisingly, he never told me about it, even though we've been partners for decades.""But I also didn't expect you to suddenly go bankrupt like that." Marco wore a concerned expression. "I should have helped you."Steve smiled, trying to be calm. "I don't need anything. Thank you for your offer.""Then why are you here? You know discos are where people vent their frustration, disappointment, and anger.""I'm just tired from working all day, so I decided to rest here for a while." Steve denied it.Marco laugh
