2025-01-13 08:44:31Charles left the hotel feeling proud of himself. The cooking competition had been a success, and his skills had earned him a well-deserved victory. On top of that, Alison had given him her phone number. Everything seemed to be going his way ever since he activated the system.
He called a cab and asked the driver to take him to the Bennett family mansion. He needed to meet Sophia and settle things once and for all. Suddenly, the familiar system screen appeared in front of him, and Charles couldn’t help but smile. [New Mission: Spend $10 million within 24 hours. Complete this mission to earn two black card points. These points can be used to upgrade your skills or unlock new ones.] As the message disappeared, Charles felt a thrill of excitement. $10 million? He was already brainstorming ways to spend the money when another notification came through, confirming the money had been transferred to his account. The car pulled up outside the Bennett mansion, and Charles stepped out, feeling confident. He wasn’t the same poor man they used to mock. He had $10 million in his account now and wasn’t afraid of what they thought. “Look who’s here,” Bella sneered as he entered the living room. The whole family, except Ethan, was gathered. They were clearly in the middle of a meeting. “The useless son-in-law has finally shown up.” Charles glanced around. Their faces were full of disgust, but that didn’t surprise him. What caught his eye was Richard sitting beside Sophia’s grandmother, looking smug. Sophia was beaming, clearly happy to have him there. “Where have you been?” Sophia asked sharply, getting up from her chair. “Does your ridiculous job keep you from coming home on time?” “I had things to take care of,” Charles replied, walking over to a seat at the edge of the table. Normally, he wouldn’t even be allowed to sit during their meetings, but this time, he didn’t care. “Who told you to sit?” snapped Mrs. Bennett. “Only true family members have the right to sit here. Stand up now!” Charles got up slowly. He wasn’t interested in arguing. All he wanted was to get through this and leave. Sophia walked over to him, holding a small folder. She threw it at his feet. “These are the divorce papers. Open them and sign. I’m done being your wife.” Reaching for the folder, Charles opened it and turned the pages. Everything was previously signed by her. He questioned, "Is this what you want?" as he raised his gaze to her. “Sophia grinned and remarked, "It's what I've wanted since the day we got married." "You will never be a better spouse than Richard will be. Get out and sign those documents. I no longer wish to interact with you. You have already shamed me in this city and destroyed my life. "All right," Charles responded coolly. However, I still want the earrings I gave you on the night of our wedding. All I have left of my mother are these items, which belonged to her. Sophia's face contorted with rage. She didn't think he would be so calm. To make fun of him in front of Richard, she wanted him to plead. She went into another room and came back a few seconds later with the earrings. “These?” she asked mockingly before throwing them to the floor and stepping on them. She ground her heel into the earrings until they were bent and broken. “If you still want them, pick them up from the ground.” Charles clenched his fists, trying to control his anger. “They were the only thing of my mother’s that I had left,” he said quietly. “You didn’t have to destroy them. You could have just given them back.” “I don’t care what they meant to you,” Sophia replied coldly. “Pick them up and leave. The more I see you, the more disgusted I feel.” Charles bent down and gathered the broken pieces. They still meant something to him, even if they were damaged. “Take this trash with you,” Bella added, throwing his bag at him. “You’re lucky we didn’t burn it.” Ethan burst into the room at that moment, his face flushed with rage. He caught Charles by the collar as soon as he spotted him. “What are you doing here?” Ethan yelled. “How dare you show your face after what you did today?” “Mrs. Bennett urged Ethan to relax, and he grudgingly released Charles. What is happening? Her voice was stern as she inquired. Ethan gave a detailed account of the events at the Silver Plaza Hotel. When he was done, Charles was being glared at angrily by the entire family. "Everything is ruined by you!" Sophia yelled. "This family has never experienced anything worse than you. I am eager for you to go. Mrs. Bennett adjusted her glasses and glared at Charles. “You were the biggest mistake this family ever made. From now on, you are banned from this house. Sophia will marry Richard, and he will bring success to this family. If you come back here after today, I’ll make sure you’re thrown in jail.” Richard stood up, looking confident. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Bennett. I’ll make sure he stays away. Unlike him, I’ll bring honor to this family. I’ll provide for Sophia and make sure she’s happy, unlike this failure standing here.” Charles didn’t respond. He didn’t care about their insults anymore. He had bigger goals to focus on, like completing his task and earning his black card points. Revenge could come later. He picked up his bag and turned to Sophia one last time. “Goodbye, Sophia.” “Get out!” she yelled. “And don’t come back!” Ethan added angrily. Charles walked out without looking back, his mind already planning his next steps.

With his things packed into a little bag and a disappointed heart, Charles left the Bennett family home. Even though it was shattered and crushed, the earring his mother had left for him, a priceless heirloom was still in his pocket, and its significance to him was far greater than anyone could ever comprehend. All he had left of his mother was his link to that earring, and he was devastated and furious at Sophia's callous deeds. He was free, nevertheless. Free from their continual humiliation and criticism. With a mixture of relief and resolve, he looked to the future. Now the divorce was complete. To appease Sophia and her family, he would no longer pretend to be someone he wasn't. No more being governed by them. He now had the opportunity to succeed with the money from his fortune."I ought to purchase a home," Charles thought, his thoughts racing. The concept was straightforward but effective. A home of his own, free from criticism, where he could rebuild and begin afresh. He was

Ariana took Charles around, showing him all the houses that were up for sale, including the priciest one on the list.The moment Charles laid eyes on the place, he was hooked. It was an absolutely stunning high-rise with a breathtaking view of the river.After an hour of looking at different houses and getting all the price details from Ariana, they headed back to the lobby to talk things over. Ariana pulled out a chair for Charles, waiting for him to make a decision."So, Mr. Charles, what do you think? Any house catch your eye?" she asked eagerly."Yes," Charles said, nodding. "I want the high-rise.""You mean a single apartment in the high-rise, right?" Ariana asked, almost choking on her own words."No, I mean the whole building. Is it still up for sale?"Ariana knew very well it was still available. But nobody had ever tried to buy the whole thing because of the outrageous price."Sir, it's definitely for sale, but as I mentioned, it costs ten million dollars. A single apartment

Charles grinned as he received two special reward points from his mysterious system. He imagined all the cool skills he could unlock but decided to save them for when he really needed them."Mr. Grey, here are your house keys and all the necessary documents. If you ever need anything or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Once again, congratulations on your new home," Ariana said with a professional smile as she handed him everything.Charles nodded. "I appreciate it. Thanks for your help."Taking the documents, he stepped into his mansion. Ariana had already given him a tour, but now, he wanted to explore on his own.The living room was massive, with a giant, dazzling chandelier hanging in the center. The sofas looked like they belonged in a billionaire’s home—probably because they did. It was at least three times bigger than the living room in Bennett’s family house, and every single thing in it screamed luxury.Charles walked into the master bedroom and couldn't help b

The next morning, Alison showed up at Charles’ house, bright and early, looking fresh and ready for the day. She was dressed in a stylish yet comfortable outfit, her heels clicking against the pavement as she walked toward his car.Charles was already waiting for her, leaning against his vehicle with his arms crossed. He looked calm, but there was a sharp determination in his eyes."Ready?" he asked as soon as she reached him."Of course," Alison said with a grin. "I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when you buy the most expensive car in the showroom."Charles chuckled softly. "Let’s go, then."They got into his car, and soon, they were on their way to Regar Motors Limited, one of the most well-known luxury car dealerships in the city. The drive was smooth, and the atmosphere inside the car was lighthearted. Alison kept talking about different car models she had researched online, giving her opinion on what would suit Charles best.But as soon as they arrived at the dealershi

What did you just say?" James asked, his face turning red as his hands trembled with anger. His eyes narrowed, and his jaw clenched tightly. "Charles, do you think you're some kind of big shot now?"His voice dripped with mockery, but beneath it was a hint of something else—frustration, maybe even fear.Charles remained calm, his posture relaxed as he looked James in the eye. "James, I'm not here for you," he said evenly. "I came to buy a car, and I suggest you do the same. I have more important things to do today than waste time on useless arguments."James scoffed loudly, shaking his head in disbelief. "Well, look who finally grew a backbone." His lips curled into a smirk. "Tell me, Charles, where did you get the money to buy a car? Did you steal it?"He crossed his arms and took a step closer, lowering his voice. "Stop pretending. We all know you're broke. No need to put on a fake show."James then shifted his attention to Alison, who stood beside Charles. His gaze raked over her,

Listen, my dad can pay twice the price of this car! His phone is probably off because he's busy with work," James pleaded desperately with the manager."I'm sorry, but like I told you before, this car goes to the person who pays first," the manager replied, still holding Charles’s card, ready to complete the payment.James scoffed, glaring at Charles. "Don't sell this car to this guy! He's a scammer!" He waved his hands dramatically. "It's an insult that you're even considering selling to him. Do you even know who my father is? He can buy any car in this city! If you make this sale, you're making the worst mistake of your life!"The manager chuckled, completely unfazed. He had met many rich kids like James before—spoiled, entitled, and convinced that the world revolved around their last name.Everyone in the showroom held their breath as the manager swiped Charles’s card. James folded his arms, smirking. Any second now, the transaction would fail, and he’d finally get the chance to hu

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."Realizing James would never listen, Charles shrugge

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

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.

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
