At Anne’s house.

Anne and Shane were waiting in the hall, and Verna finally came home at around two o’clock.

The moment she saw Shane, she lost her cool. “Why the fuck is this trash here? Get out of my house!”

“Sis, calm down. I brought him here for a different reason,” Anne quickly said. “Please help him by recommending him to a job.”

“Hmph, why would I do that?” Verna openly breathed arrogance. “Look at your selection, Anne. He can’t even get a job on his own, and he’s come crawling back to you, and you still want to help him? You still haven’t learned your lesson, did you? If he’s got any self respect, he wouldn’t have come asking for your help.”

“I didn’t want to take her help, but I’ve got bills to pay,” Shane said.

“Wine bills, I’m sure,” Verna snorted. “Don’t forget that you’re talking to a lawyer. I’ve seen and dealt with guys like you every other day.”

Shane frowned. “Just give me one chance. I’ll prove myself.”

    Jake, this time, did not leave the Hamilton mansion without telling his parents.“Don’t stay here and shamelessly suck their money, Dad,” Jake told Brett. “Go home and lead a respectful life.”“Are you really not going to accept Miss Delma’s love?” Brett asked, feeling somewhat helpless and also useless.“If love can be created by force, then tell me how,” Jake stated. “I’ll do it.”Brett frowned but said nothing.“I’m talking only to you but not to others because you’re the only one who I believe will try to understand things,” Jake said. “Go home. I’ll find a good job and support the family from a distance.”Brett nodded half-heartedly. “I’ll tell your mom, but you know how she is. I don’t think she will leave this house on her own. But I’ll try.”Jake nodded and then walked out of the Hamilton mansion.Elmond saw him leave, but he didn’t chase him. “What is Delma thinking?” he wondered with annoyance.Jake walked many miles on foot in order to leave the ordinance park.Nobody stop

    In Delma’s mansion.“Are you feeling sad that he left you again?” Tessa was feeling sad for Delma. “It must feel worse than a slap in the face. If I was in your shoes, I’d just forget him. One needs to have some self-respect. I think it’s better for your own heart and mind to forget him before you hurt yourself even more.”Delma’s brows drew together. She was clearly upset.She lay down on the couch. Two maids came to her and started massaging her arms and legs.Just then Brett came up to them.Tessa looked at him, wondering what he was up to.“Uncle,” Delma quickly got up, even though she was tired. “Please come and sit down.”Tessa rolled her eyes. (What’s with this attitude? You’re not their servant, Delma! Get your thinking straight! I have heard that love makes people blind, but this is too much!)How can a woman who can make the president kneel before her act like this?Tessa didn’t like what she was seeing.“I-It’s okay, ma’am,” Brett said in a hurry, feeling a little shameful.

    Anne and Shane were kissing on Jake’s couch. They still had their clothes on, but they were messy.When Jake entered the room suddenly, Anne got up from the couch and adjusted her dress and hair.Jake stood at the door, unmoving and staring at her, baffled. He wasn’t even able to blink.“J-Jake…” Anne’s heart skipped many beats. “I-It’s not what you think.” She saw the flower in his hand, and it stung her heart even more. Guilt rushed to her eyes and grew into a layer of wetness. “W-We were recording for…”Jake’s head slightly tilted back as she was trying to give an explanation. He put the rose and the chocolate box on the desk right next to the door and then turned around and shut the door as he left.“J-Jake, wait!” Anne grabbed her mobile and scuttled out.Shane was still on the couch, and he smiled, enjoying how things were playing out.Jake was going down the stairs, his heart thundering in his chest and his fingers trembling, unable to make a fist.Anne rushed over to him and s

    Jake could see that the chocolate box in his hands was the one he had bought.That alone told him that everything Anne had said about the video recording might just be true, or Shane probably wouldn’t be standing outside like this now.“Don’t want it?” Shane shrugged. “Suit yourself.”A few seconds of silence passed.“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting you to come, but the timing couldn’t have been more perfect,” Shane laughed a little. “I’m sure Anne is crying right now. She deserves all those tears for dumping me. You should also thank me for exposing her, don’t you think? I mean, she thinks she’s smart, but she’s so gullible.”He brought his hand closer to Jake.“At least give me a fist bump,” Shane said, “for saving you from that pathetic woman.”Jake tightened his fist and controlled himself. Eventually, he raised his fist and bumped it with Shane’s fist.“Haha, that’s what I’m talking about,” Shane laughed and then walked away. “I wish both of us good luck.”Jake walked the other

    Melvyn arrived at his office, Blake’s Rise, a towering building with eighty floors, and it was also Blake’s headquarters.As he was entering the building, the four guards stood up and bowed to him.He saw that one of them was not putting their cap on correctly. He went over to that guard and adjusted his cap.“If I see you not wearing your uniform properly again, you lose the job,” Melvyn warned him. He looked at the other three guards, as if warning them also.And then Mevlyn entered the buildings.The four guards were still shivering in their boots.Melvyn was walking past the receptionist’s desk. She stood up immediately. He waved with his fingers, telling her to sit down without even looking at her.The receptionist’s eyes were full of admiration for him. “He’s so hot…” she thought. “Look at that swag. If he acts in movies, he’ll make millions of girls’ hearts melt.”Despite having drunk a lot of alcohol, he was able to walk perfectly.Melvyn went to his office on the top floor. I

    Later that night.Jake arrived at his own home in a taxi.Nobody was living here.“So they haven’t left the Hamilton mansion, yet,” Jake sighed and shook his head. “They received 100 million dollars, so why are they still staying there? Is 100 million not enough for them? No, I think they might be up to something else.”[You think they’ll steal from the Hamilton family?] The system asked.“No, I think that my brother likes Tessa. So, he must have forced my parents to stay at the mansion so they can find a way to meet and interact with the Blake family,” Jake opined. “But from what I heard from Tessa, the Blake family is a mess.”[I think your family and the Blake family suit each other well. They are all opportunists, in my opinion.]The system’s words were harsh, but Jake couldn’t object.It was the bitter truth, after all.[So, when are you going to give me back?] the system asked.Jake was startled. “Why?”[Because you were willing to give me away, I don’t feel like working with yo

    Jake was sleeping on the couch in the hall of his own house.The outside door was still locked as he didn’t want others to notice that he was living inside.A group of thieves just jumped over the wall and entered the premises.“The house doesn’t look that big. Are you sure there are valuables inside?”“It’s in medium homes like these they will store lots of gold and silver.”“Keke, let’s steal every good looking thing the.”The four thieves climbed up to the first floor and easily entered through the balcony door because it wasn’t locked properly.They searched different rooms, but they did not find any gold or silver. All they found was some cash here and there, and this greatly disappointed them.“Maybe, they stored the gold in the kitchen somewhere?”With this thought, they went to the ground floor and searched without turning the lights on. They only used small torch lights while searching as they didn’t want to alert the neighbors.“Ksss.”One of them heard a sound. “Hey, did yo

    The next morning.Jake suddenly woke up from sleep.[What happened?] The system asked, yawning as if to mimic something Jake should have done. [You look like you’ve seen a ghost.]Jake wiped the sweat off his face.“Just had a bad dream.”[How bad was it?]“I was working in Blake’s, and my new girlfriend, whose face I couldn’t see, came to the shop with her friends, but she was too embarrassed to tell her friends that I was her boyfriend. The whole interaction gave me chills.“What if it happens in real life? What if my future wife makes fun of me for having a honest job? Do I really have to become a CEO to avoid such a fate? But not all can be CEOs.”Just then, Jake received a new mission.[Become the CEO of a reputed company. The faster you do it, the greater the reward!]“Huh?” Jake blinked a few times. “You’re kidding me, right? Becoming a CEO doesn’t guarantee that I’ll get a wife who appreciates what I do.”[But the chances of her appreciating your work will definitely improve.]

    Later that night.Delma, Prisha, and Davis together went to the party in a Rolls Royce, with the head butler Weber escorting them as a driver and a bodyguard.There were more bodyguards, too, but they kept their distance and followed in other vehicles.“It feels like we’re important politicians or something,” Prisha laughed out loud, liking how she was surrounded by security.“I just hope that Tessa would come to the party,” Davis expressed his wish.“She’s likely going to come,” Delma told him.“She will?”“Yeah, she uses these parties to build connections, so she can’t miss a party like this,” Delma opined.“That’s great to hear. I hope I can impress her this time,” Davis voiced his mind.“You talk like you fell in love with her, bro,” Prisha nudged her shoulder against him. “What’s the deal? Did you really fall for that blonde with a sharp, sexy hairstyle?”Davis blushed. “What’s wrong with falling for her?”“Nothing is wrong about that, except that a million guys would have alread

    Prisha was combing her hair before the mirror. Seeing the hair stuck in the comb, she cried, “Mom, I’m stressed because of the hair fall. Isn’t there a way to strengthen the roots of my hair?”“Just stop stressing yourself over hair fall, and you’ll be fine,” Felicia replied while eating pomegranates.“Huh? That doesn’t make sense.”“Just stop worrying. Don’t they say even the hair on your head has a count to them, and one of your hairs don’t fall without God’s permission?” Felicia said. “So, stop worrying. Otherwise, every time you comb your hair, you see hairs in the comb. Every time you eat food, you see hair in the food. Every time you bathe, you find hair coming off your buttcrack, too. And everytime you sleep, the pillow seems like it’s growing hair.”“S-Stop it, Mom,” Prisha looked scared. “I shouldn’t have asked you for advice in the first place. I’ll go and ask someone else.”Prisha left the room.As she roamed around, she found Delma. Only now, she noticed that Delma’s hair

    In the Blake mansion.Trisha brought a new stylist to Melvyn’s room, saying that he was the one who styled their dad’s hair.The stylist worked for two hours to bring out Melvyn’s old hairstyle, as much as he could, but Melvyn wasn’t satisfied with the output.He stabbed the stylist’s heart with the scissors and said, “He did better than others, but that’s all he is.”Melvyn was still wearing the fake wig that the stylist had made for him. “I’m tired of waiting here, so I will find a solution to this problem myself.”He walked out of the room in quick but heavy footsteps.As he was coming down the stairs, he heard the maids talking.“Hair(here) me out,” the maid said. “The hairline(airline) company workers are all so bad.”Melvyn frowned.“What are you two doing hair(here)?” the butler yelled at the maids and sent them away.Melvyn’s frown deepened. Why did he keep hearing words the wrong way? He was sure that the maids and the butler weren’t saying those words, but he still heard the

    A few days later.Delma was singing by the pond, and the deer were enjoying her voice.Jake was also pleasantly surprised by it. How can such a fat woman have such a beautiful voice?Delma didn’t sing a song but only some rhymes, yet she was very good at it.Delma eventually came to him and said, “How are you feeling today? Any improvement?”“Yeah,” Jake was able to talk much better now.This excited both of them.“Your progress is faster than expected. This is great,” Delma openly said. “If you work hard, you will get back to your old looks sooner than you think.”Delma then brought delicious items and shared them with Jake and the animals. “Do you like sweets? I love sweets. Some days, I eat a lot of them.”“Don’t take it the wrong way, but you shouldn’t eat sweets if you want to get slim,” he said with effort.“It’s only one sweet,” Delma pitifully said. “And that also because of your recovery progress.”“O-Okay.”A few seconds of silence passed.“Can I ask you one thing?” Delma lo

    For many days straight, Delma stayed next to Jake throughout the clock, while also working out.She ran around the pond, and then did bodyweight workouts.She did pushups with the deer sitting on her back.She did pull ups on tree branches, with birds sitting on her shoulders.She pushed herself more and more so that her progress would skyrocket, all in order to reach her goal faster.During meal time, she feld soup to Jake with a spoon.He was able to move his mouth and swallow now, but he still couldn’t speak.A layer of his skin was only starting to show.Delma felt like it might take at least a week more before he could make a decent recovery.Jake could see everything around him.And every time Delma fed him soup, he felt terrible for treating her badly before.Her kindness was like a big slap to his face.Later in the evening, Delma made him sit in a reclining chair.She sat next to him and enjoyed the cool breeze next to the pond. The deer, peacock and the swans were busy eatin

    Prisha ran away to her room without looking back, and along with her also went the hopes that Felicia had in getting Davis married to Tessa and perhaps Prisha getting married to Melvyn.Everything was ruined because of her ignorant daughter Prisha!Felicia could see that Benson was not happy.He just sat still on the couch, not speaking a word or glance at the television.“Only Jake can save us now,” Felicia thought, “but he’s not here. This guy Benson won’t force us to leave this mansion, will he? If someone like him were to ask Delma and Elmond, won’t they give him face and kick us out?”Felicia was already imagining all kinds of worst possible future lines that awaited the Goodheart family.A few moments later, Delma came to meet Benson.Weber took Felicia away, which Felicia didn’t like, but she had no command over Weber, so there was nothing she could do.“What brought you here so early in the morning?” Delma asked.“You know why,” Benson replied.“Did your daughters beg you to br

    A few days later.Felica was talking with Davis. “I asked Ms. Delma, and she told me she’d make you the CEO of a company.”“What?” Davis was so shocked, he dropped the mobile in his hand and got up from the chair. “Really?”“Haha, yeah,” Felicia said. “And she said you can pick among the list of the companies she’ll refer to. Once you become a CEO of a big company, you are going to receive calls from millionaire families, wanting to marry their daughter to you.”Davis was overjoyed but for a different reason. “Mom, I already have a girl that I like.”Felicia frowned. “Prisha told me. The Blake family’s girl is too much for you. She’s in a different league. I think you should give up.”“You think she won’t look at me even after I become a CEO?” Davis asked.“She’ll still be so much richer than us even after you become a CEO, so why would she look at you any differently?” Felicia asked him back.Her words took the gas out of Davis’ hopes.Felicia patted his shoulder. “There are plenty o

    Delma came home with bruises here and there. Her left thumb lost its fingernail.She applied cooling, healing oil to it, then covered it with a bandage that didn’t stand out.She didn’t want her grandfather to notice that injury and worry about her.It was night time.As she was heading to meet Elmond and tell him about the systems she had taken from Dera and Lily, one of the nurses came rushing to her and said, “Mr. Jake is awake.”Delma immediately rushed over to the right wing to check on him.Jake’s eyes were open, and he was conscious.He still wasn’t able to move a finger, though.“In the process of de-crystallization, we thought you’d lose your eyelids, ears and your private part, but luck was on your side,” the doctor told Jake. “The procedure went smoother, and we were able to keep those things intact. It will take a month or two for you to get your skin back. Until then, you should rest. It’s better if you are put in the liquid tank to speed up the healing process. What do y

    Later that night.Trisha came home, bleeding from her right arm.Lily and Dera quickly rushed over to her. “Sis, did you get our systems back? Did you kill her?”“No, she was well-prepared,” Trisha frowned. “I will get her next time. Until then, be patient.” Saying that she went upstairs.Lily and Dera looked at each other. “If Big Sis can’t help us, should we ask our dad or brother?”“Brother Melvyn locked himself in his room,” Dera said. “He’s not letting anyone except Big Sister inside.”“Let’s tell this to our dad then. If he talks with the Hamiltons, they will give our systems back!” Lily strongly believed.Trisha went to her room and took a few pills which accelerated her healing process.“The super strength or super power system or whatever it is… just what are its limits? I couldn’t push Delma to her limits. I can’t let such a nasty woman become my sister-in-law. This was the perfect time for me. I should have gotten rid of her.”She punched the mirror and broke it.“But it’s
