“Wait a minute, William!” Evan called again, hurrying after him as William continued down the hallway in search of Sofie. The first thing that came to William’s mind was the expensive private rooms available inside the nightclub. He didn’t know why, but he had a strong feeling that the lecherous older man had taken Sofie somewhere like that. William suddenly stopped when he noticed a commotion farther ahead. “What’s going on, Will?” Evan asked, stopping beside him as he looked toward the crowd. A beautiful woman in her thirties was dragging someone out of one of the private rooms. She wasn’t alone. Another woman stood beside her, holding up a smartphone and recording everything that was happening. “Isn’t that Sofie?” Evan muttered. “Why did you guys stop?” Jayden asked from behind them. William turned around and realized that Evan wasn’t the only one who had followed him. Jayden, Jake, and Jean had also come after them. [It would be better if you didn’t get involved in this mat
Chapter 82
Sofie woke up from a terrible nightmare with her heart racing. For a moment, she felt completely alone, as if there was nobody in the world she could turn to for help. The fear was still fresh in her mind, and she almost started crying again. But then she looked around the room and froze in surprise. “Wait a minute, is this not a dream? I’m… really in William’s luxurious apartment?” Sofie muttered. She looked around carefully, trying to convince herself that she was awake. There was no mistake. This was The Manor Residence, one of the most luxurious apartment buildings in the city center. How could William afford an apartment in a place like this? Was there something about her cousin that Sofie had never known? Then the guilt she had tried to ignore came rushing back. For years, Sofie’s family had worked to take control of William’s family’s wealth, insisting that everything should belong to them. Afterward, they lived comfortable and luxurious lives while William struggled on his

“I think a garden would look amazing here. I’m not sure if the actual view will be better than the pictures, but Carmen’s design should look beautiful once everything is finished. I’d also like to add a tropical touch to this section because we can see the beach directly from here. What do you think, William?” Evan asked. By then, William was already at the mansion with Evan, Deva, Sean, Carmen, and Liz. Surprisingly, Carmen and Deva already knew each other because they had once worked together as models for a children’s clothing brand. “William?” Evan called when he noticed that his friend wasn’t responding. “Are you listening to me?” William sighed and nodded. “Y-yeah, I heard you, Evan. You can do whatever you want with that area. Sorry, I was just thinking about Sofie. She went back home in a taxi, and I gave her some money.” Evan sat beside William inside the gazebo while Deva and the others walked along the beach. “Then why are you still thinking about her?” Evan asked. “I

Thanks to William’s large number of shares in Hayper Entertainment, the company welcomed them warmly. The CEO herself even came out to greet them personally. Her name was Celine, a young woman who was only twenty-five years old and full of energy. Celine readily accepted all the plans Arvin had presented to help Deva and Sean. She was also delighted that two talented young actors had decided to join her company. After they reached an agreement, the contracts were signed without any problems. Everything seemed to have gone smoothly. But that was only the beginning. “Does Mr. William have time to talk with me privately?” Celine asked. William had expected that question. From the way Celine looked at him, he could practically see the money signs in her eyes. She clearly viewed him as a walking source of investment. William nodded. “Of course, Miss Celine.” “Then, we’ll excuse ourselves,” Arvin said before leaving the room with Deva and Sean. Soon, only William and Celine remained

[Your second mission today is to help someone who is being bullied.] [You can follow this map.] A map of the entire building appeared on the system screen. William’s location was marked with a blue dot, while the person he needed to help was represented by a red dot. [Make sure you show the bullies who you really are, and you can get them fired from the company.] [If you succeed, you will receive an additional 10% of shares in Hayper Entertainment, strengthening your position in the company.] [You will also receive +3 to all stats.] [If you fail, the system will deduct 10 million dollars from your account.] William’s eyes widened when he saw the penalty. There was absolutely no way he was going to let the system take ten million dollars from him after all the effort he had put into building his wealth. Following the map, William walked through several corridors and passed many people who worked in the entertainment industry. Eventually, the blue dot led him to a secluded area o

“Hey, what are you doing?” one of the girls shouted as she tried to snatch William’s smartphone from his hand. Unfortunately for them, William was quite tall. The last time he checked, he was 186 cm, so he knew there was no way any of the girls could reach his phone if he simply raised his arm above his head. The girls jumped and stretched their hands toward the phone, but they suddenly stopped when a familiar voice came from the screen. “Mr. William? Good afternoon. Why are you calling me?” Celine asked, looking confused and slightly nervous. William had contacted her without warning, and the fact that he had chosen a video call made the situation even stranger. As soon as she accepted the call, Celine saw several female trainees standing behind William. They were candidates for the girl group project that the company executives believed could become a major success. “Miss Celine, do you recognize these girls?” William asked. “Yes, of course, sir. Is there a problem?” William t

“William! What took you so long? We’ve been waiting for you.” William stepped into the cafe across from the Hayper Entertainment building and immediately spotted Deva and Sean sitting together. He had assumed they would be waiting in the company cafeteria, but apparently, they had chosen this place instead. “I had something to take care of earlier. Why are you guys here? Has Arvin gone home yet?” William asked after taking a seat beside them. “You know he must be very busy. We wanted to go to the cafeteria earlier, but Deva didn’t feel comfortable with so many people around, so we decided to come here instead,” Sean explained. “Order something, William,” Deva said, handing him the menu. William was actually hungry, but for some reason, he did not feel like eating a proper meal. After looking through the menu, he settled for an affogato and a slice of blueberry cheesecake. The three of them spent the next hour chatting about random things while enjoying their food and drinks. Noth

“Actually, there has always been a middleman in our village. Our village is on the outskirts of the city, and we don’t really understand how the middleman business works. But recently, the middleman suddenly offered to buy our harvest at an extremely low price. It wasn’t even enough to cover the money we had spent planting and taking care of the crops. We had also worked for several months to produce such a good harvest. In the end, we refused his offer, and he became angry. He said he would no longer work as our middleman, which meant we had no way to sell our crops or make any money. He also said many things that frightened us. So, we decided to bring some of our harvest here and try selling it ourselves. This isn’t even everything we harvested. We only brought part of it because we were afraid we might not be able to sell anything.” William sighed after hearing their story. Unfortunately, he knew there were plenty of dishonest people in the world. Middlemen were supposed to help fa

“What are you doing here?” William asked, looking at Sandra with clear displeasure. Even so, Sandra only gave a soft laugh, as though his cold attitude did not bother her at all. “Oh my goodness, William… Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just…” “If you need another reminder, I still know your secret. And you should also understand that I don’t like having my life disturbed by you,” William said firmly. Sandra swallowed nervously. Despite that, she forced another smile onto her face and tried to appear completely relaxed. “Come on, William. I’m only here to bring you some food. I remember you really like shrimp, right? My friend’s husband caught a lot of large shrimp, and when they gave some to me, you were the first person I thought about, William. I think of you as my own child,” Sandra said sweetly. William grinned. “Like your own child, huh? That’s very funny. You can leave the shrimp there and then go home.” Sandra felt irritated. William was proving to be much harder
