William’s eyes widened as soon as he heard Zeno mention the company. His father had spent years building that business from nothing. For three years, he worked relentlessly until the small company finally grew into a medium-sized one. Two years after that, it had expanded again and become even more successful. By any standard, William’s father had been a successful businessman. More importantly, he had been a genuinely good man. He trusted people too easily and treated those around him with kindness, never realizing that some of the very people he trusted were secretly working against him. In the end, William’s father was forced out of the company he had personally built. Not long afterward, he suffered a heart attack and died. “How much is that company worth, Zeno?” William asked, his expression becoming far more serious. Zeno chuckled and pulled out his smartphone. He quickly opened some information before turning the screen toward William. “My uncle happens to own quite a lot

“William… Edwin and I slept together. I never told your father that I was pregnant with his child because I didn’t want to destroy your parents’ happiness back then. But it turns out Trent is also your father’s child, which means Trent is actually your biological brother, dear. Please forgive me for waiting until now to tell you everything.” For several seconds, William said nothing. Then, to Sandra’s complete surprise, he suddenly burst into laughter. He covered his face with both hands, laughing so hard that Sandra could only stare at him in confusion. She had expected anger, shock, or perhaps disbelief. She had never imagined that William would react like this. “William?” William finally stopped laughing. He lowered his hands and looked at her with a strange smile. “Oh, sorry, Auntie… I actually already knew all that. Look at this photo, Auntie! This is you and Dad, right?” William said as he showed her a picture on his smartphone. The photograph showed Sandra and Edwin togeth

As soon as she stepped into the room, the atmosphere seemed to brighten. Her presence was impossible to ignore, and a soft, elegant fragrance followed her inside. William knew that scent. When he turned around, he wasn’t disappointed by what he saw. “Carmen?” “Oh, boss! I finished looking at all the flowers in the garden… they’re all beautiful, especially the roses and chrysanthemums. Oh, I forgot that I haven’t been accepted to work here yet.” William was genuinely surprised. Of all the people who could have applied for a position at Little Heaven, why had Carmen suddenly decided to do it? She was already a fairly well-known model with thousands of followers on social media. Brands regularly approached her for endorsements, and she could make a considerable amount of money simply by promoting a product on her account. Yet now she wanted to design gardens and work at Little Heaven? Why? It was honestly difficult for William to understand. If it had been Liz, he probably wouldn

“I used to underestimate what you were going through in high school. Now, I guess karma has finally caught up with me. My family is falling apart. My parents are divorced, and my mother left with her new husband. My father drinks heavily and has buried himself in debt. The friends I thought would stand by me disappeared the moment they found out I was having problems. My girlfriend even ran away with another man after leaving me trapped under a mountain of bank debt. Then my mother suddenly called me and asked for money because she wanted to go on vacation with her new husband. And today, I was framed by my boss and fired from my job. So tell me, William, who am I supposed to talk to about all of this? I have nobody left! Just let me die in peace!” William said nothing. As he looked at Jean, he recognized the despair in his eyes. It was the same kind of despair William himself had once carried before the system entered his life and changed everything. Jean might not have been as luc

Liz stared at Devon with a bored expression as he sat in front of his computer, completely absorbed in his game. She sighed again while scrolling through an article about William that was trending across social media. People were beginning to discover more about William because he had appeared in the public eye several times recently, each appearance giving people another reason to talk about him. This time, the topic had suddenly become the mansion William had recently purchased. William himself hadn’t posted anything about it. His social media accounts were practically abandoned, so there was nothing there to explain how he had suddenly acquired such an expensive property. However, Zeno had helped William purchase the mansion, and he was the one who posted about it. That wasn’t surprising because Zeno had connections with several luxury real estate agents. He also had a large following on social media and regularly posted about expensive properties. Whenever someone bought a house
