“Auntie, how much is this blue shirt, pair of shoes, and black trousers? I want to buy it.”“Are you going to work somewhere new, Daren? Why do you want to buy several things at one time? Or did you just receive a bonus from Mr. Bob?” guessed a woman with curly hair with a mole on her left cheek. Yes, that woman was the owner of a grocery store at a flea market, which a handsome man named Daren usually visited when he wanted to buy his personal items. For example was today.Daren seemed to be smiling stiffly, while stroking the back of his neck which didn’t itch. It was about five months ago that he last came here.“No, Auntie. I’m just taking out the money I’ve saved these past few months, even though it’s not much. Some parts of my shirt were torn, even my shoes. So I think I have to buy them even though they are all used, they’re still suitable for use.”The old woman smiled as she looked at Daren, then she nodded her head in understanding.“Okay, now tell me, how much money do yo

“Uncle and Aunt, look at your son-in-law’s behavior. I bought this antique ceramic for one hundred million dollars, but he said that my antique ceramic is very strange. I don’t know at all, does the poor guy really have such primitive thinking? Look, even grandma wouldn’t be willing to see how cheap your gift is.”Everyone there looked at each other. Of course they looked at Daren with disgust and contempt. Serena, who didn’t accept that her husband was being belittled by Miles, immediately grabbed Daren’s hand to approach her grandmother.“Wait…” said Daren who still wanted to be there. “I want to say something to Miles.”“What else do you want to say, Daren? Aren’t you satisfied with being humiliated by Miles in front of everyone?”“I don’t feel humiliated. I have a reason of why I looked at that strange ceramic object.”“Daren—”“Miles, don’t ever lie. The antique ceramic you brought for grandma isn’t a real antique ceramic, it’s just a piece of junk worth around fifty dollars sold

“Are you crazy? Have you accepted Grandma’s challenge to extend the cooperation contract with the Wiles family company? Are you crazy, Daren? The Wiles family company is the most prominent company in the world, and of course when they decide not to continue the cooperation contract with the Hoodie family company there must be one thing about the Hoodie family company that they think is not profitable. But you confidently undertake a challenge that even the entire Hoodie family can’t do it? Don’t be proud as if you were given trust by Grandma. Because what I read was that Grandma wanted to embarrass you in public, and you even said that you would complete the proposal in just one night? You’re completely out of your mind, Daren. You’re so confident as if you’re used to dealing with this problem. Remember, you’re just a part-time worker at Mr. Bob’s restaurant delivering food and your salary is no more than twenty-five dollars a day, remember that, Daren!”Daren was silent, he knew hi

This morning, Daren was standing in front of the company owned by the Hoodie family, and luckily he already had a new shirt that Jackob had given him. So, Daren didn’t need to embarrass himself to meet his new colleagues.“Who are you?” asked the security guard just as he saw Daren step into the company.Daren turned his head. With a friendly smile, he immediately showed his ID Card.“I’m the new CEO of this company, is there anything wrong with that?” Daren asked.The security guard seemed confused. How could he not, he knew that the CEO of the company owned by the Hoodie family was Miles. Without any meetings or anything else, how could suddenly on this bright morning the CEO change? Because as far as security guards knew, Miles was an ambitious leader who will definitely continue as CEO, even if possible forever.“Excuse me, is Young Master Hoodie chronically ill and needs quite a lot of time to recover?” asked the security guard.Daren shook his head perfectly, because Miles wasn’

Miles seemed quite annoyed today. He had already visited several of his business contacts to invest in one of the mega-projects he was planning to rival Daren's. He couldn't bear the thought of Daren being given so much more prominence than the others, or even the entire Hoodie family.Daren was just a son-in-law, an outsider, and Miles would never accept that.Because in his eyes, Daren was just a poor man picked up by one of the Hoodies to be their husband, nothing more."Damn!" Miles said."I can't lose to that poor, shameless man, and I won't let my grandmother choose him over me. Besides, I'm sure there are many things in life that will make me think twice, and I'll make sure they'll be humiliated in front of me. Daren, I won't let you get away with this."Honestly, this was a strange situation, and Miles was still curious.How could he not?Suddenly, Daren had become a superhero in his family's business and seemed to know everything. Miles knew and was certain that before he mar
