Chapter: The Angel Who Saved Them Has Returned"I must say, this restaurant is quite different from what I was picturing."Sophia adjusted her glasses as she glanced around the dining area.Jay, who was seated opposite her, turned towards her with a curious expression."Different? How?"Sophia hesitated briefly, looking around once more."Well... I suppose I was expecting something a little more exclusive."Isabella nodded subtly."Same here."Jay followed their gazes around the restaurant.It was certainly nothing particularly extravagant. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, the walls had been given a fresh coat of paint, and the atmosphere was relatively lively, with customers chatting over their meals.However, it was still very much a modest local restaurant.And that was precisely what had caught the two women's attention.Considering the kind of wealthy businessman they had been assigned to work for, neither Sophia nor Isabella had imagined their first lunch outing would bring them to a place like this.They had natu

Chapter: Saving Carter's Tech CorporationOn the laptop screen was the very information he had been reviewing before their arrival.A detailed financial report on Carter's Tech Corporation, Hale's father's company. Jay had already begun examining its current financial situation even before Sophia and Isabella arrived.And he wasn't going to lie.The situation was considerably worse than he had expected.The company's revenue had been declining for several consecutive quarters, its outstanding debts had continued to pile up, and several major investors had already withdrawn their funding. Its remaining assets were barely enough to cover a fraction of its liabilities.At the rate things were going, Carter's Tech Corporation could collapse at any given moment.Jay had spent quite some time examining the financial report. Nevertheless, he had already made up his mind."I want Asterion Global to invest five hundred million dollars in Carter's Tech Corporation."He delivered the statement casually, as though he were simply asking t

Chapter: Two Beautiful AssistantsBy 11 a.m., Jay was comfortably seated in his living room, working on his laptop while doing his best not to think about the penalty the system had inflicted on him earlier this morning.He was going through some information when the doorbell suddenly rang."Ah... They're here already?"He immediately closed his laptop, placed it on the center table, and pushed himself up from the couch.The two assistants, he presumed.The estate gate securities had already called to inform him of their arrival a few minutes earlier.At first, Jay had been slightly caught off guard by how early they had shown up because it certainly wasn't the time President Zack had mentioned when informing him that his personal account assistant and secretary would be arriving today.Still, he wasn't particularly bothered. If anything, their early arrival suggested that they were extremely disciplined when it came to their jobs.He walked towards the entrance and pulled the door open, only to freeze at the sight be

Chapter: The Price of Forgetfulness[Ding! ][Host failed to complete yesterday's daily two touches. ][Penalty initiated...][Two years have been deducted from the host's current lifespan. ]Jay's eyes snapped open.“What... no!”He immediately clutched his chest as an unbearable pain suddenly erupted through his body.“AHHH! Damn it!”His entire body stiffened as he writhed against the mattress, desperately trying to endure the excruciating sensation. It felt almost as though his heart was being violently squeezed.He gritted his teeth, one hand pressing tightly against his chest while the other clenched the bedsheets.After several agonizing seconds, the pain finally began to subside. Jay lay motionless, breathing heavily as he tried to regain his composure.What the hell just happened?Then, remembering the notification he'd seen moments earlier, his expression immediately darkened.Yesterday.He hadn't used his daily two touches!With everything that had happened involving Officer Mark and the mysterious maniac who

Chapter: What Did Cassie Find?Meanwhile... While Jay was making his way towards the exit, he immediately caught sight of someone watching him.George.The man stood a short distance away, his brows furrowed as he watched Jay with an expression that was difficult to interpret.In fact, Jay had noticed George's lingering attention earlier while he and Stacy were enjoying each other's company at the bar. The man had been watching them intermittently, seemingly unable to take his eyes off the two.However, Jay had been too caught up in the moment to pay much attention to him.Now, their eyes briefly met.Jay frowned inwardly.Geez, what's up with this guy?He couldn't understand what George's problem was. Nevertheless, he had no intention of finding out.Without giving him another glance, Jay casually walked past him and continued towards the exit.A few minutes later, he finally reached his G-Wagon, unlocked the doors, and settled into the driver's seat.As soon as he closed the door, he let out a long, satisfying br

Chapter: It's a Date!“OH! MY GOD!”The sudden exclamation erupted from somewhere behind them, shattering the quiet moment.Jay and Stacy immediately pulled apart, the unexpected interruption catching them both off guard. Jay turned towards the voice, while Stacy briefly squeezed her eyes shut, a faint flush creeping across her cheeks.She already knew who it was.Elena.Standing a few steps away, Elena held a glass in one hand, her cheeks slightly flushed and a mischievous smile spreading across her face. Her gaze flickered between Jay and Stacy, and the delighted expression on her face only grew as she pieced together what she had just witnessed.“Oh, my goodness!” she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger between the two of them. “Was I interrupting something?”Stacy immediately brought one hand to her face, wishing, if only for a moment, that the floor would open up and swallow her.“Elena!”“What?” Elena asked, putting on an exaggeratedly innocent expression. Yet the playful glint in her eyes betraye

Chapter: chapter 14Eva Lapis sat by the window of her room, her legs curled up on the edge of the velvet chaise lounge. Rain tapped against the glass, but her thoughts were far louder. The image of Dave—her husband—at the luxury boutique had shaken her to her core. She hadn’t seen it coming. She wasn’t even looking for him. It had started as an ordinary evening: scrolling through fashion feeds, online gossip, and business rumors. But then, suddenly, the headlines shifted: “Mysterious Billionaire Shocks Sales Floor with $12M Shopping Spree.” The photo attached had her choking on her own breath. It was Dave. Same face, same saggy clothes. But the way the staff bowed to him after discovering his black card, the way the cameras caught him walking out like a god in tattered clothing—it didn’t make sense. What was he doing with a card that exclusive? How could he afford a $1.2 million suit? Since when did people address Dave with respect? Her thumb trembled as she scrolled through more footage. “Who ar

Chapter: chapter 13The tension from the chaos inside the boutique still clung to the air like smoke as Dave strode out of Crusline Mall, his head held high. Each step he took was calculated, calm, and filled with the quiet confidence of a man who no longer had to prove anything. The heavy silence he left behind screamed louder than any insult Mark or the cashier had spat at him moments earlier. Behind him, the mall remained alive with murmurs. Shoppers, employees, and bystanders whispered furiously among themselves. "Did you see the manager chasing after him?" "Wait, did she say Wayne Enterprises? Like... THE Wayne family?" "God, we almost called security on a billionaire." But Dave didn’t care. He had endured years of mockery, shame, and dismissal. This moment—this walk out the doors of a mall he owned—was a silent declaration that his days of humiliation were over. The saleslady hurried after him, the weight of multiple shopping bags threatening to pull her arms from their sockets. She struggled

Chapter: chapter 12The moment the saleslady pulled the sleek black card from the pocket of the Dormeuil Vanquish suit, a hushed silence fell over the boutique. Her eyes widened slightly, recognizing that this wasn’t just any card—it was a high-tier, ultra-exclusive bank card engraved in gold. But instead of speaking up, she froze. She looked at Dave, then at the angry cashier, then at the jeering face of Mark Cindy. Her hands trembled slightly. She wanted to say something… but fear anchored her tongue. What if she was wrong? What if the card was fake? What if this caused trouble for her job? Mark, seeing her hesitation and the card in her hand, scoffed. “Oh please,” he said, raising his voice. “You really think that card is real? Don’t fall for that crap. It’s obviously a fake. Look at him!” He pointed at Dave, who still stood with a calm but tense expression. “Dressed like that? A man who looks like a dried-up street beggar holding a card worth millions? Ha! What kind of sick joke is this?” The cash

Chapter: chapter 11Dave was amazed and impressed as he walked through the mall, his eyes filled with admiration. Everything looked so bright and beautiful—there were so many people, and so many interesting things one could buy. Umm... Dave froze as he noticed everyone in the mall seemed to have fixed their eyes on him. The looks they gave were filled with disgust, their judgment plain and unhidden. He could even hear the surrounding whispers. "Oh my God… who's that? He looks so unkempt." "What the hell? Why would they let a beggar in here?" "Who knows? Maybe he's not just a beggar but a criminal…" Yeah, you're right, man. Someone like him, hmm… > "Mmm, he's definitely here to steal something." Dave didn't mind the stares or what they were whispering about. He acted as if he didn't care and walked straight toward a boutique store. Just at the entrance, a saleslady stood there, looking stunning and cute. Dave couldn't help but smile to himself. Hmm… I see why they placed her at the entrance. Th

Chapter: chapter 10"Wow..." Dave whispered to himself as he entered the dining room. It looked like his father was hosting a feast—so many dishes were laid out on the long dining table. "Oh, son! You're here. "Come, come, join me," Mr. Jorge said warmly as he noticed Dave's presence. Dave didn't hesitate. He walked over and sat down beside his father. "Good morning, Dad," Diava greeted politely, noticing the odd look on his father's face as he sat beside him. "What's wrong, Dad?" he asked, puzzled by the strange expression Mr Jorge had just given him. Mr. Jorge sighed. "Son, why are you still wearing those old, saggy clothes? As the heir to Wayne Enterprises, you shouldn't be walking around looking like that. I mean you look absolutely ridiculous." "I know, Dad," Dave replied sheepishly. "I couldn't find any clothes in my drawer, so I just wore them, not like I had a choice." Jorge shook his head. "In that case, Danny should take you to the mall today. Get yourself some proper clothes—good ones."

Chapter: chapter 9Time skipped by as Dave enjoyed a rare and heartwarming moment with his father. The two of them wandered around the mansion, talking and laughing, exploring rooms filled with memories and stories of the past. For once, Dave felt at peace—free, even.Suddenly, he felt his cheap Nokia phone vibrating in his pocket.He reached for his phone and glanced at the screen. It was Jennifer Lawrence, his college classmate. Dave couldn't figure out from all the people why Jennifer Lawrence would be calling him, but out of curiosity, he decided to answer.Sorry, Dad. "Can I have a second?" he asked politely."Of course, son," Mr. Jorge replied with a gentle nod.Dave stepped aside and answered the call. "Hello?"Suddenly, a small sarcastic chuckle came from the other end. "Is that Dave?" she asked."Yes, this is Dave. "Why did you call, Jennifer?" he replied."Oh," she laughed as she spoke, "I can't believe you're still alive!" I was scared no one would answer. I thought maybe you had died from st
