"The Fruit" supermarket was located in a less crowded suburb, catering to the middle-class shoppers of Accomont City.Paulin Kim, a thirty-nine-year-old woman, was a single mother who had divorced her husband five years ago.Paulin Kim's life is complicated. Her husband has never provided for her two children, who are still in elementary school, so her daily life is tricky.The salary she receives as a cashier at "The Fruit" supermarket is insignificant, only about two thousand dollars weekly. This amount is only enough to meet daily needs, pay rent for a small apartment, and leave a little to have fun with her two children on weekends with simple vacations.Luckily, her children attended government schools that didn't require additional fees.One day, Paulin Kim's mind was filled with worry. Her landlord asked for an increase in the monthly rent. At the same time, her eldest child wanted a vacation to the neighboring town of Sago City."Where can I get extra money from? This money is
Pauline Kim promised to meet with the two people this afternoon after work hours. The man who hired her was satisfied with her actingThe man then made a phone call and made an appointment."We're going to shoot a second time, and you have to get ready to be in front of the camera again!"At this time, Pauline was thinking about a wage increase. She is no fool. After filming some time ago, she saw her face in the news, which went viral on various social media.To avoid suspicion, Pauline always wore a mask to disguise her face.Meanwhile, to avoid identifying or discovering who was behind the viral exposures on social media, Pauline Kim has been forced to wear a mask all this time.When a supervisor at work asked why she was still wearing a mask even though the pandemic had passed, under the pretense of a slight cough, Pauline Kim replied, "I currently have a cold. It's improving, but I'm afraid it might spread and infect customers."*Cough - cough!"Then why are you still working?"T
Still in captivity, Pauline Kim was released on condition."In the future, if needed, you must be willing to come and testify," Mr. Taylor's voice sounded cold as he gave the ultimatum."Believe me... in that potion of honesty you drank earlier, I have put poison in it. There is no cure in this modern age. The only one who can give you a cure and a one hundred percent recovery is me, an Alchemist left over from the past!" Mr. Taylor said even more frighteningly.Hearing this, Pauline Kim instantly shivered with fear.What did she not know about this alchemist in front of her? Mr. Taylor was the inventor of the viral and potent Rejuvenate cream formula. If this Mr. Alchemist could create a miracle cream, it would be easy to make her die with a tasteless poison.Pauline bowed and worshipped at Mr. Taylor's feet."Save a piece of my soul. I don't want to die yet; my children are still young, two of them. Who will provide for them if I die?" Then he burst into tears.Mr. Taylor did not an
After getting evidence of the two perpetrators of the false testimony on social media and getting confirmation that they did not mind being confronted by David and Amanda, Taylor went home with a sense of relief.In her room at Green Hills Estate, Taylor opened her system. "There might be a mission related to this case!" she thought. "David has been diligently collecting money lately. The mission of the system is to get a lot of quick cash.However, when the screen lit up in front of her, there was not a single mission listed there. Disappointed?He got an idea and decided to ask the system for a mission. "Give me a mission!" he said in front of the system's flickering screen.After a long time, a series of words unfolded in front of his eyes.[Mis? ...It looks like your case about the Rejuvenate cream is almost over. Well, since you requested a mission, I have added your Rejuvenate cream defamation-related false testimony case to the following mission."]A moment of silence...[Settl
In the room, as he heard the successive testimonies of Phill Harris, Pauline Kim, and finally Jackie Tan, CEO Lockheart's face changed. Sometimes red, sometimes purple, then turning pitch black.There was no need to explain how angry he was. "That girl went wild after getting to know a man from the McGill family. I'm sorry, Lord Alchemist. I know that you are a descendant of the McGills. But this David is truly the worst quality of your McGill bloodline," CEO Lockheart said after hearing all the testimonies.They spent about an hour in the meeting room."Even though you are the family of this David, I will not be merciful. Just watch what I'll do to him and the family medical business!" CEO Lockheart was so angry that he slapped the table hard.At that moment, Taylor just smiled. He said, "CEO Lockheart, it's your problem taking action against this David. I honestly have to say that it has nothing to do with me, nor my father. Our family has long been considered not part of their fami
Taylor was driving home in his BMW M8. Just then, his cell phone rang. He glanced over and read the notification."[Central Accomont Bank. $50,000,000 has been deposited into your account.]"Smiling.That smile was drawn very wide on Taylor's face. The tasks given by this system were becoming more and more enjoyable. "I'll ask for a more difficult task sometime. That mission of humiliating or embarrassing the McGills family no longer appeals to me!" Taylor thought excitedly.He then sped up the car quickly. His head felt light. His heart felt relieved. The amount of fifty million dollars was no joke. "The feeling of being rich and having a lot of money is very relieving," he thought happily.As he drove the BMW M8 competition car, he deliberately opened the window to let the wind hit his face. "Soon the McGills Company will fall into my hands. We'll see!"He pressed the gas hard, and the car disappeared in the blink of an eye, heading towards the northern part of the city.+++"Let go
Logan McGill sat limply on the sofa. His face was pale, his breathing labored. He was on the verge of fainting.The events that had just happened to him had left him shaken.With a blank look, he said. "It's over. The honor of our McGill dynasty has ended at my hands. I am ashamed to face my ancestors when I die," Logan McGill muttered with wide eyes. Not long after, he lost consciousness."Father!""Grandpa!"Sarah and David tried to help Logan McGill. They rushed him to Mount Sinai Hospital. The mother and son's faces were as pale as paper. A sad sequence of events had just occurred to them now. Father - the backbone of the McGills Company had suffered a sudden illness.The McGill family home became quiet and empty after the incident. There was no joy in their home anymore.+++Early in the morning, in his ultra-luxurious house, Taylor was already receiving phone calls. Although his eyes were still heavy, he looked at the phone screen and saw an unfamiliar number."Hello, can I help
"Wow, Kerry..." Taylor said briefly, smiling before continuing with the sarcasm."I thought you were kicked out of town by the McGills? Still dare to show up? Not afraid of Mr. Scully sending another bouncer to collect an old debt?" Taylor's face took on a sneering look.Hearing this, Kerry's face turned ugly, but Taylor didn't give her a chance. "Or are you waiting for the Howards to send their best bouncers to take revenge for your affair with the family's daughter-in-law?"The incident of Kerry being expelled from the McGills family after her relationship with Olliver Scully's son when it broke up about this scandal had been heard by everyone in Accomon City. Someone had recorded Kerry being beaten by a debt collector. The incident became a ridiculed subject until the McGills decided to evict Kerry.About her scandalous affair with Eddie Moore? There's no need to talk about it anymore. Everyone knew about it.Hearing Taylor's sharp sarcasm, Kerry's face turned ugly. "Don't say anyt
