A moment later, it felt as if Jack's legs were no longer obeying him. He was holding on to the sink, his breathing was labored, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. A spasm swept through his muscles, making him almost fall to the cold tile floor. His face was pale, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead."What do you mean about my identity?" Jack asked in a trembling voice, trying to understand what the system had just revealed.[User Jack Ashworth is not Dorothy Ashworth's biological son.]Jack's head felt like it was spinning, as if the world around him was spinning at high speed. He tried to understand the meaning of these words, but everything felt so blurry and vague."That's not possible!" Jack exclaimed while enduring the pain that pierced his body. It was as if fire rays were spreading through his flesh and bones.Ding![2nd mission obtained. Find your true identity and prove that you are worthy of the system.]"What? The first mission wasn't declared successful, bu
Jack looked at Diana with eyes full of confidence. "There is always a choice, Diana. There is always a way out," he said as he sipped his drink, trying to encourage the woman in front of him.Diana looked at Jack with a gentle smile, but deep confusion flashed in her eyes. "You always sound positive, Jack. But in this situation, I don't know what to do. I never wanted to marry just to secure business. I know who Daniel is and I don't want to marry him," said Diana in a careful voice, as if sharing the burden of her thoughts.Jack smiled steadily, looking at her with determination. "You have helped me seize the Hawthorne family business, now I will keep my promise to help you not marry Daniel," he stressed, ensuring that he would be by Diana's side in every decision that would be taken.Diana didn't say anything, but her own expression conveyed deep gratitude and appreciation. Jack always looks so strong and optimistic. However, Diana was not fully aware of the big problem that was hau
The day was getting closer to dusk, leaving golden light shining through the office windows. Jack, accompanied by Ashley and his team, gathered in the meeting room. They brought a proposal that was neatly wrapped, every page carefully guarded, indicating the great hopes embedded within it.Arriving at the land agency office, the room was full of an aura of seriousness. Alice, who had been waiting, exuded an aura of firmness and firmness. Her face, although it did not reveal any emotion, showed that she was not playing around in managing this meeting."Ms. Thompson, it's great to see you back," Jack greeted politely, extending his hand for a shake."Jack Ashworth, I hope you will not disappoint me this time," Alice said in an equally firm tone.Jack gave a confident smile. "I'll give it my best shot, Ms. Thompson."They entered the meeting room, where the relevant officials were waiting solemnly. Among those present, Jack recognized Ms. Del Mar, who had met him before and provided info
Mrs. Torre was silent for a moment, her gaze fixed on Jack. She could feel the pressure in this room, and Jack was definitely not an opponent who would give up so easily. Because of that, she could only snort with her face flushed with annoyance."I understand all of our concerns. However, I want to emphasize that the planning and strategies that have been prepared by our team are the result of careful analysis and high commitment," said Jack.Ms. Del Mar piped up, adding weight to Jack's argument. "I agree with Mr. Ashworth. The success of this project is not entirely dependent on his personal background. I have witnessed Mr. Ashworth's extraordinary dedication and vision for Green Diamond Village."“I can prove it with data,” Ashley said suddenly.She shot Jack a glance and got a nod of approval. Ashley incorporates the latest charts and data into the presentation. On the screen, a graph of Green Diamond Village's rising shares attracted the attention of the officials."As you can s
Jack felt tense when he submitted a request to postpone the deadline for the first mission. "Is there a possibility to extend the deadline for the first mission? I feel the time given is too short to complete it," he said in a hopeful tone.However, the system's reply came coldly, [The request to postpone the deadline cannot be fulfilled. Deadlines have been set based on certain factors.]“Damn it!”Frustration was plastered on Jack's face. He needs large funds to realize his plans, and now, it seems that his path is getting narrower. He thought about every option, trying to find a solution to get the funds he needed.Finally, Jack made a brave decision."Exchange all the points I have for money," said Jack finally.[Point exchange successful. All points have been exchanged for money and transferred to user Jack Ashworth's account.]Jack took his cell phone and checked the total money in his current account. With all the points and money he already had, Jack now had eighty million dol
Jack held his head which suddenly felt dizzy, a spinning sensation looming over him from all sides. After the nightmare that shook his soul, suddenly the pain in his chest returned, stabbing more sharply than before. This time, not only was he shaking and in pain, but Jack also found it difficult to breathe, as if the air itself had become thick and viscous.“Damn it!” he cursed, a hoarse groan breaking the silence. Cold sweat clung to his forehead, wide eyes searching for a grip to keep from falling to the floor.Jack almost had difficulty standing, his body felt so heavy and weak. In a final effort, he moved his limbs, with shaky steps, trying to get the painkillers in the drawer next to his bed. Half-crawling, Jack finally reached his nightstand. His hands were shaking violently, trying to open the drawer which usually wasn't a problem. Finally, with final determination, he managed to take out the pain medication he kept inside. The small bottle felt heavy in his trembling grasp.J
“Jack…”Ashley was surprised when Jack complimented her. Her face immediately turned red from being this close to Jack. Her heart was beating fast when she felt the warmth of Jack's body.“No one has come yet, maybe even for the next hour. So let's try," said Jack again with a crooked smile.“Jack, you…”Ashley was about to say something, but Jack was already kissing the crook of her neck. Jack knew Ashley wanted this too, the girl didn't fight back. Ashley closed her eyes, letting Jack caress the crook of her neck.Jack wanted to try to restore his health even temporarily in this way. After all, Ashley was always willing to be his partner in this matter. Jack immediately moved from Ashley's neck to her ear, then to her lips, kissing those soft and sweet lips passionately. Jack then guided Ashley to the sofa, without letting go of the kiss. On his way to the sofa, Jack still had time to lock his office door and turn off the lights.“Jack, what if someone comes?” Ashley asked."Let the
Sunlight bathes the project site with golden light, revealing the glorious potential of Green Diamond Village. Modern buildings will soon replace the old structures that still leave history on this land. Jack and Ashley walk together, fascinated by the vision that is starting to become a reality.Ashley smiled at the amazed look on Jack's face. "This project will be a turning point for this community, Jack. We're really making a big difference here."Jack nodded in agreement, his eyes still glued to the place under construction. "I never thought that this plan would be realized this far. We will bring big changes to them."They walked through an area that would be filled with traditional markets. An architectural design that combines traditional aesthetics with a modern touch looks promising. Everything looked so organized and neat, showing that the vendors and construction team worked with dedication.Ashley provides an update on the progress of the project. "Vendors are really adapt
