"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
Sett let out a breath. Yesterday's meeting with his wife, Sheila, had greatly affected his mind. Nevertheless, because he had an important appointment, he still dressed up and arrived at the city center, where the famous corporation was located. Its corporate name was "Dreams Do Come True". It was an entertainment industry. The exterior of the building looked classy and futuristic, which was quite cool. 'I'm looking forward to entering such a famous corporation.' Sett beamed a confident smile. Looking around Sett saw a huge billboard of famous actresses at the top of the building. This morning, Sett had received a call from Ms. Scarlett this morning stating that the President's assignment for him had officially started. Ms. Scarlett suggested buying a stock share in the entertainment industry. Sett had a weird feeling. "Ms. Scarlett had always taken care of my affairs... but personally buying a property share from those big shots, I guess it would be a different experience."
"Who the f*ck are you guys? Don't you know who I am?" Edmond glared at everyone. "I'm the one who owns this place! If I wanted someone to get lost, that person had to roll! You don't believe me? Wait, you bastards. I'll call my uncle Edward now. Let's see if you'll get an audition!"A vein popped on his forehead, as Sett understood that things were increasingly becoming troublesome.Everyone was starting to gossip. "Edward? Isn't that one of the supervisors of the entertainment industry?" With that, everyone quickly shut their mouths. No wonder Edward lacked respect for everyone. They quickly backed off, not siding with Sett any longer, for fear of earning the eerie of Edmond.Damn it! Sett clicked his tongue, he was depressed as the supervisor was getting involved. He could only hope that the supervisor would be impartial. Shortly after a man in his fifties got out of the "Dreams Do Come True" building with a group of bodyguards, he was supervisor Edward. "Nephew, what's the mat
"Ms. Scarlett, is Mr. Crow not offended by my making him come here in person?"One of the board of directors shared his thoughts with a rather anxious expression. No, it was not just him. The other members of the board of directors present in the room had an uneasy expression as if they were standing on a single cord wire. Yet, no one could really blame their reaction as they would be meeting an entity that they could only look up to. The Crow family was an existence that they could look at but not reach. Moreover, seeing them in the flesh was already a challenge.To their knowledge, even someone like Ms. Scarlett had to work under them, and who was Ms. Scarlett? She was one of the pinnacles of the richest people in Darian City! She was a true billionaire! "Don't be nervous, Chief Director, Ainsworth. You see, Mr. Crow is a very compassionate man. It's not like he will bite you or anything." Ms. Scarlett giggled in her melodic voice. However, her words didn't calm the directors a
"It's been a while, Elena. You look stunning as ever!" Sett praised his sister-in-law.In the back of his head, he was thinking. 'Why is Elena here? Darn it, I shouldn't have used the side entrance.' At the same time, Sett also knew that it was impossible to use the main entrance without revealing his real identity, which was a big "No" to him. "Stunning?" Elena narrowed her eyes. "Heh, brother-in-law, are you telling the truth? You aren't lying to me, like other guys?" Elena said, with all seriousness, while twirling her hair. Sett forced a smile on his face. "Of course, your beautiful Elena. Why would I lie to my sister-in-law?" Hearing Sett's answer, a cunning grin appeared on Elena's exquisite face. "Then, who's prettier, me or my sister?"Sett became tongue-tied, how was he supposed to answer her question? He let out a breath. This was one of the reasons why he didn't like to speak with Elena. She was just difficult to talk to! "Um, honestly saying, I think your sister is
The old Nokia that Sett was holding crashed on the gym's mat, and while his expression altered between pale and red, the shock and anger that he felt at that moment muddied his judgment. Who wouldn't be in this state when their loved ones were about to be stripped naked for questioning?How could someone do that to a minor? If they aren't monsters, then what are they? Sett clenched his teeth. Dammit! Threatening his young sister? Those cops must be tired of living. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't feeling like skinning someone alive, and it would be an understatement if he didn't yearn to outright murder those cops.Yet, he had to suppress his anger. No, he had to control his boiling rage, as he knew that he was dealing with two police officers. Things would blow out of proportion if the situation wasn't handled carefully. He also knew that it was detrimental if his decision was clouded by emotion.Sett took a deep breath, calming his nerves. He still had time to head towa
