"Mr. Grant…" Yara complained with unease from the front passenger seat. "You should let me drive. I am your subordinate, after all."The young woman was dressed in a black pantsuit and had the airs of a successful businesswoman. Her blonde hair was clipped up in a professional-looking bun. She looked so ravishing that Tyler couldn't help but reminisce about last night's events."For now, let's pretend I am your driver," he told Yara. "Let's not give people more reasons to question my identity."Yara was about to protest, but Tyler slowed down the car. They had arrived at the colossal gates of Sterling Hill, the most elite housing area in Sapphire City.The security guards stopped them at the gates. One of them approached the car and peered through the half-rolled-up window. His eyes lit up on seeing the glamorous woman in the passenger seat."Ma'am…" he said, fixing his uniform cap. "This is a closed community. May I ask what business you have here? Are you a tourist?"Even though Yar

Fifteen minutes later, the Sterling Hill community cab halted before a luxurious estate. Ted Farkus stepped out of the car excitedly."I am convinced you two are tourists!" he declared, confronting Tyler and Yara. "Clearly, you don't have the intention or the money to buy a property in Sterling Hill!""But we paid for the tour, didn't we?" Yara snapped back."Fine! Whip out your cameras! Feast your eyes on the best property in the Midlands! Behold Regent Hall!"As Yara walked into the compound, she looked around in wonder like a little girl in Disneyland. The lawns had fountains, monuments, and flower gardens. The main building consisted of marble halls decorated with painted art and chandeliers. Yara realized there were more rooms than she could cover within a single day."This is amazing!" she said aloud. "I've always dreamed of owning a house like this!"Ted Farkus scoffed. "Every woman in Sapphire City would want to marry the owner of Regent Hall. Alas, nobody can afford to purchas

"Enough!" Ted barked. "You want to purchase both properties? Are you insane? Young man! I understand you wish to impress the lady, but lies and deception won't get you anywhere! Unless you are one of the richest men in the country, I find it hard to believe that you can pay for both estates. Your tour has ended here. It's time to leave!"Tyler was unperturbed by the manager's ranting."Have you not been listening?" Yara protested. "Are you not employed by the Sterling Hill Board to accept purchase offers? Why can't you be professional for a moment and do your damn job!"The beauty was equally baffled by Tyler's bid but decided to stick to her role as an assistant. She had tremendous faith in her boss' words anyway.Ted was taken aback by the outburst. "Are you serious?""Yes," Tyler replied. "What is the price of Prince Cove?""You heard him, Mr. Farkus," Yara insisted. "Policy dictates you must quote a price when asked, right?"Ted's lips turned into an ugly scowl. His mustache twitc

Dolt and Farkus exchanged surprised glances. Had the young man finally lost his mind? What was he playing at?"This is ridiculous!" Farkus barked. "Do you think us fools! Stop this farce immediately! You're taking it too far!""You're a lunatic, kid," Dolt said with a patronizing shake of his head. "You need to be taught a serious lesson! Let's start with your girlfriend."The Chairman eyed Yara's body with desire and licked his lips, realizing he couldn't wait anymore. He motioned to the guards sharply. "Take the girl into a room and strip her! I'll join you in a minute!"Yara's eyes widened in panic. Did they really intend to detain and strip her illegally? She looked towards Tyler, who appeared relatively calm and composed, given the situation.The young woman figured she shouldn't always depend on him for help. She pulled out the sharp pin from her hairdo. Lustrous, beautiful hair cascaded down to her waist. The sight was so mesmerizing that many of the onlookers forgot to breathe
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 035 New Chairman
Tyler set up a temporary office in Prince Cove, rifling through official accounts and records of the Sterling Hill Board."The corruption is rampant," Yara said. "No wonder even three-bedroom apartments in the Foothills tier cost over a million dollars!""Dolt and his followers inflated the prices and pocketed the balance," Tyler explained. "Moreover, there are numerous complaints of blackmail and sexual harassment. They are all going to prison!"After a few hours of work, he revamped the entire bureaucracy of Sterling Hill. As the new Chairman, he fired all the corrupt staff and hired young, sincere people to management positions.As the community cab descended from the Crest Tier, Tyler turned to Yara. "We'll set up an office in Regent Hall, and you'll be my Chief of Staff.""I am privileged to serve you in that capacity, sir," she chirped. "But why did you purchase Prince Cove if you didn't intend to stay there?"The young man looked into the distance as if reflecting on something
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 036 Where Is Tracy?
While Erica and Melissa continued venting at Tyler, Tim Owen took the opportunity to approach and flirt with Yara. He was completely mesmerized by her appearance and wanted to ask her out.“Miss Mathews,” he said, his shifty eyes wandering up and down her body. “I have my own Lamborghini and a nice bungalow in the foothills of Sterling Hill. You can ditch Tyler; he’s a poor ex-convict who can’t even afford a hotdog date. Come with me; I’ll take you out for a fancy dinner and go shopping for designer clothes and shoes. What do you say we get out of here?”Melissa was utterly shocked by her boyfriend’s shameless proposal. Did he just ask Yara out while she was around? It was beyond humiliation and worse than rejection.On the other end, Erica kept trying to establish as a fact that Tyler was a loser who would die alone.Yara pursed her lips and finally spoke up. “Did you assume Mr. Grant is my driver?” she said, walking over to Tyler.“Actually, he is my lover. I’ve never met a more han
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 037 A Brother’s Duty
Rollo Grant lived in the south end of Sapphire City, a location mushrooming with apartments. Students, daily wage workers, and unmarried dorks mainly inhabited it. They rented places to carry on with their desperate, middle-class lives.Rollo had usurped the entire ancestral land of the Grants, an area of twenty thousand square feet. He had already started building clumsy apartments to accommodate maximum tenants at high prices.As soon as Tyler stepped into Rollo’s house, a pudgy-faced woman blocked his path.“Where do you think you are going, boy?” she barked. The woman was none other than Rollo’s wife, Velma.“Aunt Velma… It’s me, Tyler. I’ve come to see Tracy.”The woman, instead of greeting her nephew like a relative, shoved him roughly, driving him out of the house.“This isn’t an amusement park you can visit as you please!” she said, her voice dripping with malice. “Get lost!”Just then, a balding, middle-aged man rushed out of the house.“Tyler! I am so glad to see my nephew ag
The Gilded Man With A Thousand Lives 038 Exploited
The bone-weary girl was none other than Tyler's sister!"Tracy!" he exclaimed, rushing towards her in alarm. The girl raised her eyes in recognition of his voice but stumbled on a rock and fell.Tyler reached just in time to catch her weightless body. She looked up at his face and smiled bitterly. "Ty… Are you really here..? Or am I dreaming…?“Tyler could smell alcohol on her breath. She was wasted and could barely speak."I'm here, Tracy… Everything is going to be alright."The young man carried his sister inside the house and laid her on the couch. After covering her with a blanket, he turned to Rollo, who looked guilty as hell."Uncle! I'll give you a minute to explain yourself! No more lies!"Rollo gulped anxiously and hid behind a chair. "You see… Tracy indeed works as a maid… But my male tenants… the losers living in my apartments… They are alone and looking for company… So they pay me a hundred bucks for spending an hour with her… But nothing sexual, of course… Just a date…""
