"I'll send the money right away. My bank account seems to be in trouble." Charles said while holding back his embarrassment."Heh, didn't you say you had a lot of money? Come on, where! Where! Prove it and replace the money you've stolen!" Isabella snorted. "Earlier, he said that I was just a lazy person who took advantage of my parents' wealth and power, Babe. But look at him now. It's better for me to have money even if I ask my parents, whereas him? No money, not even his parents!" Charles' eyes turned red when Deon mentioned his parents' names. He was known as an outcast on campus, but they didn't know his real story. They had no right to insult his parents. No right at all. "Shut your mouth, Deon! Don't you ever mention my parents!" "So what? It's a fact, isn't it? You don't have parents!" The argument was almost over and now began to heat up again. This time, Daniel tried to calm Charles down so as not to fight Deon. "We'd better get going. Call your grandfather and ask hi

Charles called his grandfather back, he agreed that his grandfather wanted to make his status public. The only thing that is very important to him right now is to defeat Deon and teach him a lesson because he has dared to insult his parents. "Hello, Charl. How did it go? Do you agree with my offer?" Michael started the conversation. "Yes, Grandpa. But I have a condition before you publish my identity and ask me to return to the mansion.""Tell me.""I will return to the mansion and lead the Duke Corporation after teaching a lesson to those who have insulted my parents. While carrying out that plan, I will also try to establish relationships without the Duke family's frills. So when I lead the company, I will know who is a friend and who is a foe."Michael didn't say anything when his grandson gave him a rule. He thought about whether it was good or bad before deciding whether to follow it."I hope you'll agree to my terms."As the words left his grandson's lips, Michael immediately u

"What's wrong, Deon?" asked Charles in a challenging tone. "You! You must have stolen Eliz's jewelry, right?" Deon accused Charles in front of all the guests. Seeing everyone starting to stare at him, Charles immediately replied in a cold tone. "Do you have any proof?" "No need for proof. I know all the guests I invited and you're the only poor person I invited to this party! You must have stolen it, it couldn't have been any of the other guests." "Hm? Just because of that? Does a great businessman like you who is predicted to inherit the third largest real estate business empire in New York have no brains at all? How can you accuse someone just based on one's social background?" Charles grinned. If yesterday it was Deon who led the opinions of everyone in the university to suspect him of stealing Euna's money, then he could also do the same."Is there any definitive proof that I stole it? If it's proven that I stole it, then I'll replace the jewelry twice over!" Eliz, who heard

Charles returned home and took a deep breath as he gently took care of the cut on his forehead."Deon is someone I can't ignore. He has already done something very dangerous by playing with people's lives. Now, he might tell his bodyguard to smash my car, and I never know if he might hurt me even more in the future. I have to be careful." "Damn, this hurts!" He hissed in pain. His forehead hurt quite badly from hitting the steering wheel of the car. When he was caring for his injury, Charles smiled as he thought about how mad Deon looked when Eliz was mad at him. Deon was probably surprised and angry because his plan to catch Charles didn't work.A few minutes before Deon accused him ...."Charl, how is it? Deon isn't like his usual self who immediately hits and makes a scene. He must have a well-thought-out plan to humiliate us." Daniel spoke very quietly into his best friend's ear."No need to worry, Daniel. Take a look at this." Charles took his cell phone, then showed Daniel th

One week after Isabella's video of stealing went viral, Charles never saw his ex-girlfriend again. He didn't mind but was curious if she would still come to their campus.While Charles thought deeply about his ex-girlfriend, he suddenly felt a gentle tap on his shoulder."Hey, why are you not paying attention and lost in your thoughts?" Daniel asked. He walked into the cafeteria and quickly tapped his friend on the shoulder because he noticed his friend was not paying attention and stirring his food without thinking."Uh, no. Why did you come to campus on Wednesday? Don't you have class today?" Charles asked back. "Yeah … I just wanted to see you." "Seeing me?" Charles looked confused and wrinkled his forehead in surprise."Yes, I just want to know if your revenge plan against Isabella and Dean is going well? How is it going? Are those two losing their temper again?" Charles shook his head. "No, Daniel. In the past week, Deon and Isabella haven't made any more trouble with me. It's

Charles and Daniel could kind of hear Deon and his Dad arguing. They could hear Deon saying mean and bad words."What the hell, Dad? How can Dad be with this bitch?" Deon asked angrily, barely able to breathe."Bitch? Who do you mean, Deon?" "Who else would it be if it wasn't that woman who was clinging to Dad's arm." Deon licked his lips while he looked closely at Isabella."Watch what you say, Deon! Isabella is Dad's girlfriend and will be your mother later. You shouldn't say bad things about her." Andrew spoke in a peaceful voice. He knew a lot and didn't want to cause a fuss at a fancy party because he felt embarrassed."What?! Being my mom?! Don't dream, Dad! I will never approve of you two. I don't want to have a bitch of a mother who can only flirt with men!" "Enough, Deon. If you don't stop insulting Isabel, then Dad will withdraw all your facilities. If you won't accept Isabel as your mother, then please leave Dad's house with nothing." Deon was scared when he heard his da

"Mr. Charles, good morning," Andrew said hello to Charles when he saw him come into his office."Good morning too, Mr. Andrew. How was it? Have you given any thought to my offer?" asked Charles."Yes, of course. But can the terms be changed, Mr. Charles? I think 50% of the shares is too much. After all, my company is a big company, not a start-up. I have many connections. So you don't have to worry if your investment fails in this company." Andrew made another offer so that he wouldn't lose too much by accepting the offer. If Andrew wasn't in a hurry, he would have said no to Charles immediately. It's understandable why he would feel that way. Giving away half of the shares is like giving away the company that Andrew has worked hard to build since he was young and letting Charles have it.How could Andrew think like that? Of course, it's because he only owns 30% of the shares in the company, while the rest is owned by other investors even though the amount is not more than his. But

Isabella got worried when she saw Andrew's car outside her house. But she got even more scared when she saw that the front door was wide open and Andrew wasn't downstairs.She quickly went upstairs to her bedroom and was surprised to find Andrew and Deon making a mess and breaking things in her room."What are you guys doing in my house, huh? What?!" Isabella screamed. She quickly went up to Andrew and got surprised when she saw her ex-boyfriend holding a box with jewelry inside."Give it back! Give me back my jewelry!" Isabella wanted to get her jewelry back from Deon, but he stopped her by holding her hands tightly. "Hurry up and get everything, Dad. Don't let any of the things Dad gave her be left in this house." Deon gave an order that his father immediately answered with a nod. "No! What are you doing? Those things are mine! You can't just take them. Let go of me, Deon! Are you so poor that you take other people's jewelry, huh?!" Isabella kept complaining, and it made Deon fee
