Charles patted James on the shoulder and smirked. "You know, you might want to consider getting a job instead of just sitting around, barking orders, and waiting for your dad to fix everything for you. It's embarrassing to be let down every time, isn't it? Time to step up and act like a real man."

James shoved Charles' hand off him with a scowl. "Says the unwanted son who got thrown out of his own family. You should be grateful you're even standing here, breathing the same air as me."

Charles sighed and shook his head. "You really haven’t changed, have you? I was actually trying to give you some solid advice, but you're too full of yourself to hear it. I'm not the same person you used to know, James."

James let out a dry chuckle. "And I don't need advice from someone like you. You got lucky today, but trust me, that luck will run out. I don’t know what kind of act you’re pulling, but soon enough, everyone will see right through you."

    Charles and Alison hailed a cab to Jean Fashion Store after leaving Regar. Jean Fashion Store was one of the most expensive clothing stores in the city, and Charles had his eyes set on buying some high-end outfits. His goal was to spend big so he could complete his task and earn two black card points.As soon as they stepped into the store, the receptionist looked at Charles like she had just seen a ghost. He wasn’t surprised—after all, he used to work here as a delivery guy, and now he was back as a customer.Jean Fashion Store was famous for selling fancy clothes made from imported materials. Their prices were sky-high, and wearing one of their pieces in public was enough to turn heads and earn some respect.“Wait… Charles? Is that you?” the receptionist asked, blinking in surprise. “Haven’t seen you around in ages!”Charles flashed a smile. “Yeah, I don’t work deliveries anymore. I’m actually here to do some shopping.”The receptionist was stunned but quickly recovered and checked

    Madam Cathy stared at the pile of expensive clothes Charles had picked out as she’d just seen a ghost. Was she dreaming, or had this man lost his mind?The Charles she used to know was a broke delivery guy—always wearing the same worn-out sneakers, praying customers would tip him a few extra bucks. Now, here he was, acting like a millionaire?She blinked rapidly, trying to process what she was seeing. “Are you sure about all this?” she finally asked, her voice shaky.Charles smirked. “Of course. Or do you still want us to leave?” His confidence was like a slap to her pride.Madam Cathy, a woman who loved money more than anything, quickly changed her attitude. She couldn’t afford to let a big spender like this walk out of her store.“Leave? No, no, no!” she exclaimed, forcing a smile. “I was just helping you pick out the best styles before someone else grabs them. Our top designs sell out fast, you know.”That was a lie. Their expensive suits barely sold because even the rich thought t

    “What on earth is going on here?” Mrs. Jean asked again, her sharp eyes scanning the store. “Why is nobody working? Why is everyone just standing around like they have nothing better to do?”Before Cathy could speak, Charles stepped in. “That would be my fault,” he said casually. “We were just handling a little issue about how customers are being treated here. But don’t worry, I was just about to leave.”Cathy shot Charles a desperate look, silently pleading with him to keep quiet. She had never looked this nervous before, and Charles could tell she knew that if he spilled the truth, her job was as good as gone.“What kind of customer service problem are we talking about?” Mrs. Jean asked, clearly unimpressed. She glanced around at the staff, hoping this wasn’t what she thought it was. “I can’t believe any of my employees would treat customers badly. This store has a reputation to maintain.”Charles cleared his throat. “I’m Charles.”Before he could say more, Cathy quickly jumped in.

    Charles and Alison stepped out of Jean Fashion House, both feeling like they had just won the lottery. Charles was over the moon, especially after putting Cathy in her place. Alison, on the other hand, was just happy to have a job that kept her entertained."Mr.Charles, that was wild!" she said, grinning. "So, what's next? Where are we going now?"Charles rubbed his chin, thinking. He had already gotten himself a house and a fancy car, but he needed something bigger—something that would make his name known in the city."I need to strike a deal with the manager of Diamond Hotel," he finally said.Alison raised an eyebrow. "A deal? You mean, like, a business partnership?""Nope," Charles replied with a smirk. "I want to buy Diamond Hotel."Alison almost tripped over her own feet. "Wait… what? Buy the whole hotel?!"Charles chuckled at her reaction. "Yep."She squinted at him, trying to see if he was joking. "Are you sure you can afford something like that? And what if the manager doesn’

    The big announcement left everyone, especially the manager, speechless. Tyler couldn’t believe it when he heard that Charles had bought the hotel within just an hour of visiting. Most of the workers had no idea who he was, but they were happy about the change in ownership. Mr. Damien barely cared about their needs but worked them hard. They had complained endlessly to the manager, who couldn’t do anything since Damien was the CEO.“This is crazy,” the receptionist muttered to herself. “He just walked in here an hour ago. How is he so powerful?”The manager was stuck in his office, completely shocked. He couldn’t believe that Mr. Damien, who was so greedy, would actually agree to sell the hotel. He kept wondering what Charles did or said to get him to change his mind.“Finally!” the head chef said, relieved. “I really hope this new CEO isn’t as greedy as Damien. Maybe now we’ll get more kitchen equipment.”“Yeah, maybe,” another staff member added.In fact, everyone was pretty excited

    The next morning, Alison arrived at Charles' mansion just as he was having breakfast. She looked really excited as she walked in and greeted him."Good morning, Charles! I hope you had a great night," she said, plopping down in a chair beside him."Good morning," Charles replied, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Is everything okay? You look like you’ve got something on your mind.""Yeah, I do," she said."Well, go ahead, tell me what’s going on.""When I got home yesterday, I was checking out some places to hire security for you, and I found out something interesting. There’s an auction going on at Kings Oakland Hotel today, at 3 pm.""An auction?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "What kind of auction?""Well, there’s going to be a bunch of stuff up for sale, but what I think you’d be interested in are the high-tech machines. They’re going to auction off some really cutting-edge technology, and all the big business people in town are eyeing them. It’ll definitely make their companies run smoo

    “Ladies and gentlemen!!! Please take your seats! The event is about to begin!!” the auction host shouted, and everyone quickly scrambled to find their places in the large auction hall.Alison and Charles found a spot among some other businessmen."Charles, I hope you're not bothered by what that guy said," Alison whispered, her eyes filled with sympathy.Charles grinned, "Nah, don't worry about it. I hear stuff like that all the time from people like him. It hasn’t stopped me from getting where I am today. After the auction, he’ll learn to respect me."Alison nodded. She genuinely believed that Charles was a strong and humble guy. She couldn’t imagine the kind of things he’d gone through with his ex-wife’s family, but he always stayed grounded.As the last few people settled in, the auction finally kicked off."Good day, ladies and gentlemen! We're excited to have you here for today’s auction. We’ve got some incredible items up for grabs, and we can’t wait to get started!" The auction

    The room went dead silent when Charles stood up. He had a big grin on his face, and confidence was practically oozing out of him.James stared, his mouth hanging open, while Richard shot him a disgusted look. It was clear neither of them had expected Charles to be able to bid that much—especially not with a whopping 32 million dollars.The auctioneer, completely thrown off, took a moment to collect himself. "32 million dollars, going once! Going twice! And sold to Mr. Charles!"The place erupted into applause, and a lot of the businessmen in the room stood, clapping and looking at Charles with newfound respect. James sank back into his seat, fuming with frustration."How could I lose to Charles?" he muttered under his breath. "Of all people, Charles?"A guy sitting next to Charles couldn’t help but shake his hand. "Congratulations, Mr. Charles, you’ve done what no one has done in years.""Mr. Charles, can I have your card?" asked the CEO of Starlite Hotel, handing Charles his card eag

    Charles walked back into his home, feeling completely worn out. The weight of everything on his shoulders made him feel heavier than he wanted to admit. He had fought hard to get to where he was, but now, everything seemed more complicated than ever. His mind raced with the legal battle he was facing with his father, a fight that was about to start soon. But there was no denying that he had to focus on what mattered most right now – the upcoming election. That was his priority. He couldn’t afford to let anything get in the way of securing his position.As he collapsed onto his bed, he closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind. The threats he had received, the strange occurrences that seemed to follow him wherever he went – all of it had to wait. They would come later.

    Sophia walked into the office building, her heels clicking against the marble floor. She approached the receptionist with a smile, but it was anything but genuine. The smile was cold, calculated—one of many she had used to get what she wanted.The receptionist smiled back, unaware of the games being played. “You can go in, ma'am. He’s free now,” she said, motioning toward the door.Sophia gave a nod of acknowledgment, her gaze shifting to the door. “If he’s in the middle of a meeting, I’ll wait. Thirty minutes, no more,” she said, her tone firm, but still maintaining an air of politeness.“Of course, ma’am.”Sophia felt a wave of control wash over her. Lawrence was hers to command now. After all, she had shared secrets with him that could completely ruin Charles’s life. She had Lawrence exactly where she wanted him, and now, she would use that to her advantage.With a sly smile, she walked to the door and knocked. She didn’t wait for long before Lawrence’s voice came from inside.“Com

    Charles sat in his dimly lit living room, swirling a glass of deep red wine in his hand. The liquid shimmered under the chandelier’s glow, casting a blood-like reflection against the delicate glass. His mind, however, was far from the elegant surroundings. It was restless, consumed by the cryptic call he had received earlier.Someone wanted him dead.The idea was hardly surprising. Over the years, he had made a great number of enemies—some out of necessity, others because they had simply been in his way. The world he lived in wasn’t one of kindness or mercy. It thrived on power, deception, and control.But who among them dared to make a move now?Ethan? That was a possibility. Their history was riddled with tension and silent battles. He had let Ethan live once for the sake of their so-called legacy, but that didn’t mean the man had forgiven or forgotten. Revenge had a long shelf life in their world.Charles exhaled slowly, his fingers tightening around the glass as he took a measured

    "Sophia, Charles is not the man you believe he is. He was my husband once, and I have plenty of damaging secrets about him," she said, her voice laced with both bitterness and determination.Across from her, Lawrence leaned forward, his interest clearly piqued. His sharp gaze locked onto hers, and a slow smirk spread across his face. "You were married to that man?" he asked, his tone brimming with curiosity. "Tell me everything you know. I promise you will be well rewarded for your cooperation."Sophia felt a rush of satisfaction at his words. This was exactly what she had hoped for. She had waited for years to expose Charles, and now, the opportunity had finally presented itself. Her family had suffered for too long because of him, and now was the time to set things right.Taking a deep breath, she began, her voice dropping to a hushed tone as though the walls themselves might betray her words."Listen, Mr. Lawrence, Charles used to be a poor delivery worker. He was barely making end

    Sophia sat quietly in her elegant living room, a space that once represented the height of her family's success. Now, it felt like nothing more than a painful reminder of everything they had lost. The afternoon sun poured in through the large windows, casting a golden glow across the room. The light danced on the surface of the polished furniture, yet Sophia found no warmth in it. Instead, she felt as if the sunlight was mocking her—shining over a home that had lost its joy.She sat motionless, her fingers lightly gripping the soft fabric of the couch. The silence around her was almost deafening, except for the occasional ticking of the antique clock mounted on the wall.Her gaze drifted towards a framed photograph on the bookshelf across the room. It was a picture of her family—her parents, herself, and the company they had built together. A symbol of their years of dedication, their dreams, and their sacrifices. But now, all of it was gone.She inhaled deeply, her chest rising and f

    Charles drove back to the hotel, gripping the document tightly in his hands. It was an official confirmation from the party leader, approving his entry into the upcoming election. This wasn’t just a piece of paper—it was a game-changer. It meant that Lawrence, the corrupt governor, would no longer have the power to shut down his company.A wave of determination washed over him as he parked his car. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed his manager’s number."Hello, what's happening there?" Charles asked, his voice tense. "Are they still trying to force the workers out?""Yes, sir," the manager replied. "It’s getting worse. The officers are using force. Some of them are even hitting the staff who refuse to leave."Charles's grip on the steering wheel tightened. His jaw clenched as rage burned inside him."Stay there. I'm coming now," he said firmly before ending the call.Without wasting a second, he pressed his foot on the gas, his car speeding toward the hotel.The moment he

    The cold evening air filled Charles’s home as he and Alison sat together, tending to his wounds. The events at the private jet and the tense confrontation at the hotel had left him bruised, both physically and emotionally, but his resolve was stronger than ever. Ice packs and pain medications were quickly applied as they discussed their next move. The silence between them was thick, and it felt like the calm before the storm.Charles, still recovering from the harsh blows earlier in the day, stared out the window. His thoughts were heavy with the weight of the situation. His mind kept replaying the words of the governor, Lawrence, who had been nothing but cruel. The idea that Lawrence would go to such lengths to bring him down was maddening. But Charles wouldn’t back down. Not now.Alison looked at him, concern etched on her face. “Are you sure about this? This could get worse. Lawrence won’t let you get away with it so easily.”Charles met her gaze, his jaw set in determination. “I d

    Charles had been sitting in his office for hours, deep in thought. He had already bought everything he ever wanted luxury cars, designer suits, a grand mansion—but something still felt missing. He wanted something bigger, something that would not only be useful but also make a statement. That’s when the idea struck him: he would buy a private jet.With fifty million dollars in his bank account, he had more than enough to afford one. Many wealthy businessmen owned private jets, and he knew it was a smart investment. It would save him time, make traveling more comfortable, and give him the freedom to fly whenever he wanted.The moment he made the decision, he picked up his phone and called Alison, his trusted assistant and close friend. As always, she was excited about his plans. The next morning, she arrived early at his mansion and prepared breakfast for him."Have you decided which company you’re buying from?" she asked, placing a cup of coffee in front of him. She knew there were th

    "Wake up, Charles! It's 8 am!" The loud alarm echoed through the room, jerking Charles awake. With a curse, he slapped the button to stop the noise and rubbed his eyes. He quickly sat up in bed, checking his schedule. His eyes widened when he realized he had to go to Bennett's corporation for the official handover. He still didn’t have the company’s ownership rights, and if he wasn’t careful, the Bennetts might try to run off with it.Just as he was about to head out, a new system notification popped up in front of him. A grin spread across his face. It had been a while since he received a task.“Spend $50 million in 24 hours and earn 2 black card points.”[Funds have been transferred to your bank account.]As expected, his phone beeped with the notification. $50 million had just been deposited into his account. The screen disappeared, and Charles went back to his morning routine, his mind already running through ways to spend the money.After dressing, his chauffeur drove him to Benn
