"Why are you butting in you little brat? The adults are talking, so you better shut the f*ck up... Both of you siblings are inevitably good for nothing!" Xander let out, he knew that it was his chance to crush Sett once and for all. He wouldn't let go of such a golden opportunity!In response, Sett clenched his jaws, eventually letting out a breath. "Grandfather, I'm sorry for what happened here, and for being unable to hand my gift to you personally. I will leave immediately."After saying that, Sett didn't wait for a second longer as he left. He could still hear Xander's sneering voice."Gift? It must be something worthless, coming from a pig who can't even buy himself a proper set of clothes." Xander scornfully said, causing everyone to burst into laughter. "Anyway, if I see anyone helping or keeping in touch with that disrespectful brat, I'll make sure they suffer the same fate as him! I'll personally kick him out of the family. Do I make myself clear?" Xander questions the junior
"Heh, although I'm not the young master of the Crossword family anymore, even a dog knows how to greet its owners." Sett smirked.The hot-tempered guard was stunned. If he really punched Sett, wouldn't that mean he was worse than a dog? Also, the family head would surely punish him if words got out. Just imagine what people would say? A guard was hitting a young master of the Crossword family that he was working for... By then, he could kiss his job goodbye!"I..." The hot-tempered guard stuttered. It was like he was poured down with a cold bucket. He quickly let go of Sett while apologizing profusely. He still had his family to feed, so he couldn't afford to lose his job. It was at this moment that a Lamborghini came speeding toward them. Stopping beside Sett and the shell-shocked guards, it was not the end of their surprise as a gorgeous lady suddenly came out. "Ms. Scarlett?" Sett did not expect that it was her. "Mr. Crow, I really apologize for being late. I almost forgot to g
"Director Lowell, if it turns out that this painting is genuine, can you take full responsibility?" Dr. Hottun's sharp gaze made Director Lowell nearly sh*t his pants. "You aren't afraid of losing credibility? How would people see it by then? No one would do business with people that do not have credibility." "Actually, Dr. Hottun, I was just joking. In fact, the painting is profound..." Director Lowell said with convection, making everyone flabbergasted. With no apparent shame on his face, Director Lowell moved on to explain. ".....Peering at this angle, this is indeed a genuine painting. The canvas and the oil paints are top-notch, and the artist has a high level of understanding of the art. The pattern and strokes through its smallest details are superb. It's a high-quality work of art..." By now, everyone was holding their breath. Looks of admiration were being thrown at the family head, Francisco, who appeared to be calm, but inside he was trembling with excitement and antic
Early in the morning, after finishing his breakfast, Sett drove the Lamborghini and dropped his sister off outside the local high school. "Nini, make sure to tell me if someone bullied you alright." Sett kissed her sister on the forehead, then he patted her head. "Okay, brother!" Nini grinned brightly. She was wearing a black and white school uniform, and her skirt was above her knee, making her look cuter. As Sett was about to leave, he pushed the breaks. "Nini, wait." Nini tilted her head. Sett took a couple of dollars from his pocket and gave them to her. "Brother, this is too much. I-I don't need it." Nini uttered. Her hands were visibly shaking as she clutched the thousand dollar bills. This was her first time holding so much cash. Even when she was at the Crossword main house, she didn't receive this much and since she knew their family's poor state, it was better for them to use it frugally. That's why she was reluctant to accept it. "Nini, you don't have to worry. You
Before Sett could react, Macho Karl grabbed his shirt, nearly shredding it. Their faces were a breath apart. "He's lying, if I didn't stop him just now, he would truly hit you with that baseball bat!" Kate spoke with a serious expression. "Bastard, is it true what my daughter said?" Macho Karl roared, his saliva practically spraying. "She's your daughter?" Sett blurted out in shock. This oaf was his father. No matter how Sett examined Macho Karl, he couldn't find any similarity that would indicate she was his daughter! Although he was thinking this, he didn't dare say it aloud.... "Huh, you don't believe me?" Macho Karl's face darkened. Suddenly, two cards dropped from Sett's trousers. "Hm, what's this?" Macho Karl raised his eyebrows and picked up the two cards. His eyes scanned the card. It was then that his eyes almost popped out of shock. He looked at Sett then back at the ID card. "Arm-Force... Rank, Second Lieutenant...." Macho Karl gazed at Sett from top to bottom. How i
"How did you know?" Sett curiously gazed at Macho Karl, while using the back of his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead."Mr. Crow, I was informed in advance by the Chairwoman, Madam Jane. She told me you were coming and inquired about me being your fitness instructor. Honestly, I didn't know that it was you, Mr. Crow, until you started to seriously exercise." Macho Karl spoke solemnly."So that's why..." Sett nodded his head. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what did you call Ms. Scarlett again?""Um, Madam Jane, the Chairwoman?""You're telling me that she's a chairwoman? In what company then?" Sett furrowed his brows. Now he was genuinely confused."Mr. Crow, the City knows that Madam Jane is the richest entrepreneur in the Darian City. She owns the Red Grapes Winery, which has a billion dollars in net profit yearly, and what's crazy is that it's just one of her businesses!" Macho Karl spoke while raising his hand in admiration.On the other hand, Sett creased his brows in
"....Alright, I'll be on my way." Sett then ended the call. He frowned as he stared at his car. He started striding forward. At this time, Bernard and Neil sat on the car's front bumper while having the time of their lives, basking in the limelight. The girls keep winking at the two of them while calling them "handsome" and "rich". "Girls, don't worry. I'll take you to my hundred-million-dollar villa! I even brought my two million, reventon, for you beautiful and elegant ladies!" Bernard laughed boisterously. "Will come only if you take us for a ride, and I'll bring my girlfriends, and we wouldn't mind being your raiding partners, Sir. Bernard." A girl with a ponytail and a temping figure trailed her slender finger on the car, before putting her hand flirtatiously on Bernard's shorts and then to his shirt, just below his neck. She was gazing intently at Bernard as if he was a treasure trove. Bernard quavered in excitement. He hadn't thought that just claiming he owned the Lamb
When Sett arrived at the Divine Grace Hospital, he quickly rushed toward the upper floor, only to be stopped by two middle-aged nurses. "This is a private ward. Sir, we don't allow beggars to enter!" The nurse was furious that the security guard allowed a beggar to even enter the hospital premises. Just look at how he was dressed! "I'm not a beggar!" "Then what are you? You're barely wearing anything. A little more cut and you'll be naked!" The nurse scoffed at him while her face twitched, feeling disgusted at the sight of Sett's ripped shirt and shorts. "Um... Look, I'm in this state because a group of ladies ripped them apart." Sett hurriedly explained himself. At the same time, he felt helpless about being suspected as a hobo. Nevertheless, if he was put in their shoes, he would also think the same. "Ha! Do I look stupid to you?" The nurse rolled her eyes in annoyance. Sett was just about to show his identity card to prove his point. When he suddenly noticed that he had some
