After visiting Auntie Faye, Victor returned to the hotel to finalize his preparations. Since he already had some establishments in the country, he decided to create a new identity for himself. His plan was simple: invest and let people know that he had returned. Armed with all the necessary documents, Victor began making calls to the relevant individuals he needed to establish his new ventures. Thanks to KO, he had already prepared all the legal contracts to ensure he would secure profits from his investments. However, some of his investments were rather unexpected. For instance, he invested in films and unknown celebrities. "Director Sia, don't worry. I see great potential in the movie, and Miss Chen is one of the rising stars in the country," Victor assured Director Sia and the production team of the latest film, surprising them with his billion-yuan investment. Although they were puzzled by his sudden investment, they assumed he was a fan of Miss Chen, despite her lack of talent.
At the airport, Victor stood outside in the early morning, waiting for someone. To his surprise, the people he was supposed to pick up were accompanied by someone else. "Uncle? Is that...?" The woman standing behind him was holding a young child, approximately seven years old. When Victor looked at the child, he noticed the same eyes as Nicholas, but the shape of the lips and face reminded him of someone else. "KO?" As the woman's face was revealed, Victor was completely shocked and almost stumbled to the ground. Luckily, he managed to compose himself before losing his balance. "Mommy," the young voice broke the silence, grounding Victor in reality. Victor realized he wasn't hallucinating; the child was indeed KO's, which could only mean that Nicholas was the father. However, it seemed that Nicholas was unaware of this development. "I suppose this isn't the right time for storytelling," Victor said, attempting to lighten the atmosphere. "Hmm, we'll talk about this later. For no
"Your return to the country has caused quite a ruckus," Victor remarked after reading the newspaper. It had been a couple of days since Nicholas arrived with KO and Robin. Nicholas had been attending social gatherings with KO, revealing their engagement to the public. Victor chose not to join them, preferring to stay behind and watch over Robin. He didn't want to be associated with them while he executed his plans. Nicholas sipped his coffee, clearly uninterested in the news. "You're all over the news, and your team has been busy managing the situation. You've been turning down numerous invitations as well," Victor commented. "I came here to spend time with Robin, not with those..." Nicholas was interrupted by Robin, who came running towards him and jumped onto his lap. The child showed Nicholas a picture he had just drawn. "That's very nice. Why don't you ask the butler to frame it?" Nicholas suggested. Robin nodded and went off with his nanny. "Where did KO go?" Victor inquire
Edward noticed Victor's return to the hotel and approached him, documents in hand. "Master, welcome back," Edward greeted him. "What's happening?" Victor inquired, observing the flurry of activity around them as the servants hurriedly carried boxes. Edward scratched his head, also unsure of the situation. "I was just instructed to start packing." Victor decided to seek answers from Nicholas, knocking on the door and requesting entry. "Come in," Nicholas called out. As Victor entered the room, he found KO and Nicholas occupied with various tasks. KO was engrossed in a phone call while Nicholas approached Victor, handing him another set of keys. "Here, I believe it's time for you to go home," Nicholas said, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Home?" Victor echoed, bewildered by the statement. He had already returned to his hometown, so what else did Nicholas mean? Confusion clouded his thoughts as he stared at the keys in his hand. "You'll soon understand," Nicholas replied, a s
"Victor, is everything alright?" Faye asked, seeing that the man had not yet come out of the dressing room. "Faye, is everything alright?" "Yeah, what's taking him so long?" Faye's friends asked, curious to see how the tailored suit they had made for him fit. They had worked day and night to ensure it met the man's expectations. At first, they didn't want to come back, but Faye assured them that their shop would soon be on top again once a good investor arrived. They didn't believe her until they met the man himself today to fit the suit. "Faye, we still can't believe your nephew is so handsome." "I mean, is he really the mysterious tycoon who arrived a few days ago?" Faye sighed, having answered their question so many times already. She could only put a smile on her face as she replied, "Yes, it's him. If you don't believe me, just wait and you'll see the suit you've tailored on the news soon." Just as they were about to inquire about the man's situation, he pushed aside the dr
Victor looked at each of them with a friendly smile, his earlier cold and arrogant demeanor completely melted away. His smile charmed the hearts of the ladies present, leaving them eagerly wondering who he was. "Minister Long, I heard you were a close friend of his." Victor replied, still not fully revealing his identity or answering the minister's question directly, adding to the mystery surrounding him. "We were indeed close friends. It's a pleasure to meet you. And you are?" Minister Long inquired, already having a strong suspicion of who the man might be. "Rodolfo Augustine, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." His introduction shocked those who recognized the name. It was the name of their old friend. If the man was using that name, it meant he must be their friend's son, yet he did not want to reveal his true identity. The room fell into a hushed silence as Victor introduced himself as Rodolfo Augustine. The name resonated with those who knew their old friend, Aug, well. Wh
"Ela, I see you became close with Aug already," Minister Long commented as the two finally rejoined them. He glanced at the gazes people around them made, full of jealousy. "Father, please," Carmela replied, embarrassedly denying her father's claims. She didn't want people to think too much about their interactions. The crowd laughed at the father and daughter's conversation, despite some of them being envious of the fact that the man's daughter had the opportunity to be the first acquaintance he made. "Here," Victor ignored their gazes as he went to KO's side and offered her the drink he had gotten for her. "Juice?" KO raised one brow in confusion, wondering why she was given a kid's drink. "Really?" "Hmm," Victor replied without opening his mouth, enjoying the pleasure of his wine. KO was shocked by the man's cold response towards her. As she was about to grab hold of Victor, Nicholas grabbed her hands to prevent any conflict. "Be good," Nicholas said as he pulled her away and
As soon as they arrived home, Victor and KO engaged in a deep conversation. "Do you know that Minister Long wishes for you to marry his daughter? He isn't the type of man to just let his daughter be with anyone. Many men have approached Minister Long, but none were successful. Yet, he was the first to approach Nicholas to assist his daughter in winning you over." Victor took off his tie and handed it to the maids. He didn't bother replying to KO at all, as he had already expected something like that would happen. "Hey kid, are you even listening to me? I'm talking to you," KO angrily said as she pulled on the man's arm to stop him from taking further steps. "Don't you think I know that already? Why are you being so nosy?" Victor responded irritably. It was the first time he had acted so arrogantly in front of the woman, sounding disrespectful as if he was pointing out that she was foolish for telling him something he already knew. "You..." KO became furious, but before she could v
