Ten minutes later, Jack and Ashley arrived at Jack's new mansion. The gate opens automatically by simply pressing the button on the house key held by Jack. Ashley seems to have proved his professionalism. The mansion is really neat and well-maintained. Several servants were ready at the door of the house when they realized that their master had come. So it's true, if there is money, everything can be prepared immediately.Jack couldn't hide his pleasure, he smiled as his luxury car was parked right in front of his magnificent house. The beautiful garden that he walked through at the front of the mansion was decorated with neatly trimmed grass and trees, as well as beautiful flowers. There is a fountain with an angel statue in the middle. Everything was exactly as he had seen in the catalog.“Welcome, Mister Ashworth. I am Harrold Langton, the butler who will serve you," said a middle-aged man who stood at the very front.He looks very friendly and professional. His white hair was neat
[Good luck.]After the system said that last sentence, Jack had second thoughts. If this wasn't all a dream, then where did this system come from and who gave it to him? Is all this just a coincidence? Jack is like winning the lottery.“System, who gave you to me? Why did I get this luck?” he asked finally.[Classified.]Jack snorted softly at that. He decided to rest first and wait for dinner time to arrive. Unknowingly he fell asleep in the soft bed. At first, Jack was fast asleep, but suddenly he heard a beep sound repeating. Jack opened his eyes and he realized that he was not in his luxurious room, but in a dark and strong smelling place.Jack immediately realized he was in a narrow alley behind the Hawthorne house. It was the place he had almost been beaten to death the last time. Jack was lying on the ground covered in wounds. He was confused why he could be in this place again? Was he waking up from a dream and all the wealth he just got was just a hallucination?Jack slowly s
"That's the first thing I'll do in the morning," Ashley said with a smile."Enough with work. I'm sorry I brought up work at our dinner as friends," Jack replied with a smile.Jack didn't realize that his smile made Ashley's heart beat twice as fast. But then, Ashley couldn't contain her curiosity about Jack. Why did Jack and Gordon Hawthorne's ex-girlfriends insist that Jack was a poor servant? It really bothered her.“Jack… Since this is a dinner between friends, may I ask something? But… it's okay if you don't want to answer them,” Ashley said with a little hesitation.“What do you want to ask, Ashley?” he asked.“I-I… I was just curious, why do they keep saying you're a maid, Jack?” she asked. But as soon as he asked his question, Ashley regretted a little to see Jack's changed expression.“I'm sorry, Jack. This may be a sensitive question. It's fine if you—”"It's okay, Ashley," Jack said, interrupting Ashley's words.Ashley fell silent because of it."I was once a maid in the Ha
“Fine, Jack. I'll find out soon enough,” Ashley said excitedly after hearing how much bonus she would get just by finding out about it.Ashley didn't have much of a connection to the Hawthorne family, but she could find out through friends. Ashley had a friend who worked as a financial administrator in one of the Hawthorne family businesses. Her name is Hailey Stunt, a friend from Ahley's high school days. She was also the one who told her that the Hawthorne Family had a new real estate business. Ashley just hopes Hailey knows something about a gift for Jamie Cowell from Gordon Hawthorne."Oh before that, I almost forgot something, Ashley," said Jack who suddenly remembered something."What can I do for you, Jack?" asked Ashley, her notebook ready.“About the donation, I talked about earlier. Have you done it?” he asked. He needs points in order to increase his wealth.“Sure, Jack. I've checked the places that need the most help and found an orphanage on the outskirts of town. The pla
Dylan Hawthorne took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger. He knew how important it was to uphold the Hawthorne family's good name, and news of Jack Ashworth having his son kicked out of a clothing store infuriated him. It's so embarrassing.“Oh my dear, did it really happen? My poor child,” said Rita Hawthorne when she heard all that. She immediately hugged Gordon and caressed her son's face."Are you hurt, honey?" she asked again while examining her son's body."I'm fine, Mom, but my pride is hurt. It's not only my pride that's hurt but our family's pride!” he exclaimed.“Then why did you let him do that to you? Useless bastard!” Dylan shouted, raising his hand to slap Gordon. Rita immediately blocked her husband.“Dylan, what are you doing? It's not Gordon's fault but the damn loser! We have to do something!” Rita exclaimed. Dylan took a deep breath and lowered his hand again."We have to check all of this before taking any action," Dylan said in a calm but firm voice. "If it's
Ashley was starting to feel nervous at Gordon Hawthorne's words, but Jack looked calm and smiled."I'm sorry, Mr. Ashworth. Please ignore my friend's words," said Jamie Cowell, trying to neutralize the atmosphere."It's okay, Mr. Cowell. I won't be bothered just by the annoying voices,” replied Jack.Gordon widened his eyes at Jack's answer completely ignoring him. At the same time, Jamie smiled and opened the present that Jack had given him. Inwardly, he longed for what gifts this rich man might bring."Get ready Jamie, you're about to receive junk that even your maid won't accept!" he exclaimed.Several people laughed at Gordon's words. Others just sit and watch. Jack was completely calm, he just smiled faintly. He'd been glancing at the pile of presents on the big table behind Jamie since earlier. There was an antique urn that must have been a gift from Gordon.Most of the guests did give away antiques because they knew Jamie Cowell liked antiques. But what Jack brought was far mor
Gordon remains adamant with his stance. He was sure that Jack must have robbed or done something illegal to make his fortune. However, Jack just smiled calmly, showing his confidence.Jack looked at Gordon with a sharp gaze, reflecting his strong determination. He wanted to make sure that everyone here would see the truth."Gordon, we have made a bet. I have proven that my gift is far more expensive than yours. So, what are you waiting for? Get on your knees now," Jack said in a firm voice.Gordon felt the pressure from all the eyes staring at him. Some people looked curious, while others continued to jeer. But he didn't want to give up so easily. He smiled sinisterly as if feeling sure of his own convictions.“I won't because I'm sure your present is fake or you stole it! Even all your wealth is fake! There's no way I could kneel before someone like you! You liar!" he exclaimed.Just then, the door to Jamie's residence opened, and Dylan and Rita Hawthorne arrived. The room fell silen
Jack mingles with the conglomerates at Jamie's birthday party but is surprised to find there's so much he doesn't know about the lives of the rich. That made him more silent."Mr. Ashworth, tell us which piece of art you prefer?" said one of them.“Ah, sorry. I'm not really interested in art," Jack replied. But apparently, his answer actually made the people around him gossip. Jack could already guess what the gossip was about. Since Gordon Hawthorne had spread the word that he was a former servant, everyone was still speculating about him, but there was no proof that Jack was a fraud. However, his low knowledge about the upper-class life makes him secretly laughed at."Excuse me, I have to go to the toilet," said Jack.Jack kept his cool even though everyone was gossiping about him. The old money, intentionally or unintentionally, exposed Jack's ignorance of several things. Raised in a servant environment, Jack did not study art, literature, etc. at all. He only studied what was in s
