[Choose!] [1. Hit Selene 2. Destroy Selene’s cell phone] [If you choose either option, you will receive a reward of $500,000.] [If you refuse to choose, you will get into serious trouble.] William swallowed hard as he read the options. There was no way he could stand there and do nothing while Selene used that video to humiliate Liz. He didn’t care about Selene anymore, but he cared about Carmen and Liz. He didn’t want either of them to be hurt because of someone else’s cruelty. Still, no matter how angry he was, William couldn’t bring himself to hit a woman. That left him with only one choice. He chose the second option. Without wasting another second, William reached out and snatched Selene’s smartphone from her hand. The video of her bullying Liz was still playing on the screen. He deleted the recording, then casually tossed the phone into the Arcelia River. “William! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Selene screamed, staring at the river in disbelief. She rushed toward him, clearly i

“I’m sorry, Carmen.” Carmen let out a tired sigh. She had already heard Liz apologize several times that morning, and she was starting to run out of ways to reassure her. They were now sitting in William’s car while he drove them home. Carmen had originally arrived with Devon because she needed extra time to get ready that morning. However, Devon had to leave first because he had some business to handle. Luckily, the place he was going was in the same direction as the apartment Evan shared with a few others. That left William alone with Carmen and Liz. “You really don’t need to apologize anymore. It’s all in the past. Besides, you didn’t even know William and me back then. We only started dating recently, and I’m honestly not angry with you, Liz. You’re allowed to like whoever you want. The person who caused all of this is Selene. Why did she have to bring up something that happened so long ago?” Carmen said for what felt like the hundredth time. Even after hearing that, Liz still

William stretched out on the sofa in his apartment, resting his head against the cushion as the cool breeze from the wide-open balcony drifted through the living room. For the first time that morning, he had a quiet moment to himself. It had been a long morning. So much had happened that William was starting to wonder how his life had become this complicated. When he thought about it, perhaps everything had started when his father was accused. After his father’s accusation and death, William’s life had slowly fallen apart. The days that followed had been miserable, and even after the system appeared and began helping him, things were still far from simple. At least life was better now. Having plenty of problems while also having plenty of money was still much better than struggling without either. [Since you refused to choose between Carmen, Liz, and Selene, you must reconsider your choice.] [You have plenty of time to decide. There is no need to rush.] William frowned when he sa

“LIZ! OPEN THE DOOR!” Devon’s voice echoed through the hallway as he banged loudly on his sister’s bedroom door. Liz had been lying on her bed, still upset about everything that had happened that morning. She had hoped to spend some time alone, but Devon clearly had other plans. If she ignored him for too long, he would probably break the door down and then complain about the repair bill. With a tired sigh, Liz got up and opened the door. Devon’s sour expression immediately came into view. “What do you want?” Liz asked. “There’s a big package outside for you. William sent it.” Liz’s expression changed as soon as she heard William’s name. “William? Why would he send me a package?” Devon shrugged. “How should I know? Maybe he feels guilty about what happened earlier. Besides, why do you even like him? You know you’re not as beautiful as Carmen…” SMACK! The sound of Liz’s palm against Devon’s cheek echoed through the room. Devon froze, his eyes widening as he slowly turned back

“William!” William had barely sat down on a bench in the university park when someone called his name. He looked up and saw Evan walking toward him. William was already feeling nervous about the day ahead. He had to present a group assignment, and unfortunately, Liz was dealing with her own situation. Since she was the only other person in his group, William was worried that he might have to stand in front of the class and present everything by himself. “Hey, William!” Evan said as he reached him. He gave William a friendly pat on the shoulder before sitting beside him. “Why do you look so tense? Anyway, I have some good news!” Evan pulled his smartphone from his jacket pocket and immediately showed it to William. “What good news?” William asked. “First, I bought an apartment in the same building as yours! I chose the cheapest unit because I didn’t want to spend too much money. But that’s not the important part. Look at this! Vircoin has gone up again. I still have 1,000 coins. D
Chapter 26
At that moment, William and Evan were sitting in the park directly across from the university’s main road, where students and other pedestrians passed by all the time. Nothing about the place was unusual, but suddenly, a crowd began gathering near the garden, and the people there became excited as if someone famous had just arrived on campus. “Is there a celebrity visiting our campus?” Evan asked, stretching his neck to see through the crowd. William shrugged. He had no idea what was happening. Evan, however, was too curious to ignore it, so he stood up and pulled William along with him. Since the two young men were both handsome, the people in front of them quickly made way, allowing them to get a better look at what had attracted everyone’s attention. “Liz!” The girl standing at the center of the crowd turned when she heard her name. Her eyes lit up when she saw William and Evan approaching, and she smiled before walking toward them. Once she reached the two men, she greeted them

“William! What are you doing? Why are you…” Selene stopped mid-sentence, completely stunned by what she had just witnessed. William had kissed Liz, and he had done it right in front of everyone. What was going through his mind? “William…” Liz whispered, still trying to understand what had just happened. The kiss itself had been nothing more than a gentle peck, but it was enough to leave Liz feeling overwhelmed. Her heart was beating so fast that she was almost afraid William could hear it. She lowered her eyes, her face burning with embarrassment as she tried to calm herself. William smiled at her. “You’re beautiful, Liz. You were beautiful before, and you’ll still be beautiful tomorrow. Don’t listen to girls who try to make you feel bad about yourself just because they’re jealous. They may think they’re better than you, but that doesn’t make it true. You don’t need to compare yourself to Carmen or anyone else. You’re Liz, and you’re beautiful in your own way.” After saying that,

[Your second mission today is to find the right manager for your store and a suitable assistant to help you start your own company.] [You only have until tomorrow to complete this mission. Your reward is an office building that you can use to start your new company.] [There will be no punishment for failing this mission.] [Good luck!] William smiled as he read the system’s message. This mission excited him more than the previous ones because building his own company would bring him one step closer to learning the truth about the person who had ruined his father’s life. He had no intention of letting that person escape so easily. William was also convinced that whoever had accused his father wasn’t acting alone. His father’s enemy was likely connected to someone close to him, which meant there could be several people involved. If he wanted the truth, he needed to start digging. “Let’s go to Jobvac,” Evan said. As he had mentioned earlier, Evan still had a few courses to retake, w

“I don’t like any of these. Find me someone else.” The woman quickly gathered several more documents and placed them in front of William. As she sorted through the papers, one document slipped from the stack and landed on the floor. William bent down to pick it up, and the moment he saw the face on it, his eyes widened. He recognized him immediately. The man was one of the people listed by the system as trustworthy. William straightened up, looked at the document again, and handed it to the woman. “I like this person. I’ll choose him.” The woman looked at the document and then back at William, clearly surprised by his choice. “Are you sure? He’s actually very capable, but his reputation isn’t very good. He was recently fired after being accused of…” “Was there any proof that the accusation was true?” William interrupted. “Well… no. It hasn’t been proven yet, but…” “Then there’s no problem. Please introduce us to him.” The woman gave him a resigned smile before making the call. A

Louis glanced back toward the room where William and the others had gone, then finally turned around and left the Jobvac office. The employee who had been dealing with him let out a quiet breath of relief once he was gone. At least the trouble was finally over. Not long after, the man they had been waiting for arrived in a hurry. His clothes were slightly messy, his hair was out of place, and he looked like he had rushed all the way there without stopping to fix himself up. When he introduced himself to William, Evan, Jake, and the Jobvac employee, William couldn’t help but notice that he was quite handsome. The young man stood around 180 centimeters tall, had clear skin, and was neatly built. However, despite his good appearance, he seemed nervous and awkward as he introduced himself. “My name is Daniel,” he said. He was only two years older than Evan, but the way he carried himself made him seem a little older. As William listened to Daniel explain his situation, he began to unde
