Jessica arrived home from her workplace. She was looking quite worried and tired. Her mood had swung to something unexplainable to herself since she left Mr. Isaac's office today. The mood was a mix of sadness, frustration, and confusion.

The discussion they had about David had brought the image of the young man back to her mind. For a while now, she had been trying to get rid of his image. If not for anything else, at least she had discovered that he already had a partner.

The problem was not just the image in her head, but there were also thoughts about the attractive man that had been lingering in her heart for some time.

Sitting on a couch in her living room, she was unaware that she had left her present world behind as she had dived into another world in a faraway planet, lost in deep thought.

'What's wrong with you, Jessy?' she questioned her mind.

After questioning herself, she began to reply.

    After Elena was able to escape Patrick's rage, she headed out of the villa and stopped a cab."The City Market," she announced as she entered.Closing the passengers' door and using the seat belt, she accidentally exchanged glances with the cabbie through the rear mirror.His eyes had a disdainful look. Irritated, Elena shifted her gaze away from the mirror, wondering if the look was actually for her or if he caught sight of something else instead."This is none of my business but still my business, anyway. Are you a member of the most cruel family too, or did you just come to visit them?" the cabbie questioned as he kick-started the car engine.Elena wasn't expecting that he was talking to her, as she was just looking out the window as the vehicle drove off.Amidst the view, her brain brought the picture of the scene between her and her brother.'Patrick meant to stone me with the heavy table?

They had been delayed in paying the maids their salaries since the Wendy family did the anniversary party.The Wendy Group wasn't earning so well, so they were unable to pay the maids on time.

    "Elena, what's going on? Are you in a dreamland?" She questioned herself in a low tone with her heart burning so badly. She was already at the verge of tears. She couldn't believe the embarrassment the lady gave her just now was happening in the same world she had been living in since she was born."Elena, that was an utmost embarrassment to you." Her voice was filled with so much pity as the tears nearly down her eyes."Am I expected to cry? No, I can't." She was helping herself with some little courage while her voice was already shaking. She might burst into tears anytime soon.Her walking steps had become unexplainable as she was plugging in leg into leg. Her walking steps were quite faster but it wasn't as fast as that. She might fall if she's not careful. If not that she's still needed to walk, she would have substituted the leg for something else to do the walking. The embarrassment had really made her freeze out, the shock had held her legs more tightly.At this point she even

    David was in his room when he heard constant notification sounds coming up on his phone.He reached for his phone to check what the continuous notification was about. To his surprise it was an eye-popping video.A video of his mother-in-law being embarrassed out of a market with a crowd behind her, wailing at her."What?! I hope she hasn't done anything bad," David sounded slightly sympathetic. Elena should have been like a mother to him, but she never chooses that. Instead, she made herself one of the toughest enemies for David.David had his whole attention on the video as he focused more on it, trying to figure out her offense. But unfortunately, he didn't hear anything related to any offense she committed. The only thing he was hearing was, "Chase her away!" "We don't want to see you here if you fail to provide our benefactor."All these things were confusing to David. He couldn't even connect it with anything that seems like a crime."What are they talking about?" "Who is their b

    During the time that David went to the market to get the gift, The City Market was just newly opened. At that time, the market was hunting for more customers to come around to patronize them.So, they picked up an idea, which was seeking advice from a few customers who came around on how to make the market the choice of the people despite the competition with other big markets in the city.Any customer who is able to provide helpful advice will be given the chance to take any expensive goods of his choice for any amount he wished to pay for it.On this day, David was approached, and they asked for his suggestion, despite that he was poorly dressed. There was much concern about the outcome of his suggestion and not his outfit.With a quick thought, he began."I will commend that The City Market has the potential to become a very popular and vast market in a short time. The reason behind my point is that it's not a market that sells just a single or selected product but it's a market th

    Elena was sitting on the super polished tiled floor of Granny's living room, crying so badly. All her family members were around her looking at her with so much pity.Elena had been unable to explain herself since she arrived. As soon as she wanted to make an attempt to explain. "I was.. It was..." She burst into another round of tears.The more she remembered how she was embarrassed out of the market, the more her tears welled up."We can't stand here and watch you cry till the day runs out, what happened?" Patrick voice had a touch of sympathy. He had erased the fact that she had used her ruthless tongue on him before she went out.That's the power of being a family. Nothing can be compared to a family bond.Elena at this time was trying to sniff back her tears so that she could explain herself. Alfred stretched a handkerchief to her, she collected it to wipe her tears and the mucus dropping down her nose.Despite that she had wiped her tears, her eyes were still looking so wet and

    Diana returned with a glass of water and poured some into the old woman's mouth, while her mother and Patrick stood behind her, supporting her body to prevent her from falling.As soon as she drank the water, she had another slight cough. "Coughs...""Take it easy on yourself, mother," Patrick urged.As soon as the old woman regained a little strength, she stood up and snapped at her children, "Get away from me, I'm still strong and healthy." She coughed again, and Elena and her elder brother wanted to rush to her before she scolded them,"I said, stay away from me!""We're sorry, mother," Patrick apologized as he bowed slightly.Elena wondered how the old woman managed to walk from her room to the living room despite her illness. She wanted to ask about it, but she thought it might sound stupid to ask at that moment.Granny slowly walked to her seat and sat, staring at them all."Why do you all want me dead?" Granny asked, making all her children raised their heads and look at each o

How? And why is some part of her skin so horrible? Why is she so static in this sphere?"David's father patted his son's shoulder and said, "I told you earlier that these revelations would be quite strange to you.""Let me explain this to you.

That was the reason he quickly informed The Sage about your ability when he saw you at Glover City, which was what helped us to find you today."David heaved a sigh while his father continued to explain, "My son, at this point in your life, I know what you have become."David's body moved slightly, watching his father's lips."I know everything I'm about to explain to you might seem strange to you, but I still have to explain them."David nodded his head, listening."Five centuries ago, the Anderson family broke out of the Zaozao Kingdom and came to dominate this city.

    The door and the name inscribed on it were extremely glittering. This suggested very well that the door was made of pure gold.David was still in doubt about everything the grey-haired man had told him until this time. Nevertheless, thousands of questions still lingered in his mind.David turned his eyes in another direction in the Palace and he could see a big car garage from afar. The space in which exotic cars were packed was up to a hectare of land.Suddenly, he heard the grey-haired man say, "Young Master, I will be so eager to take you around every corner of the Palace. As for now, let's hurry up and meet my master."David's head raised slightly, hiding the little touch of surprise on his face.Even though David already had trillions at his fingertips, this beautiful environment was more captivating than expected.
