Dawn and Bianca gazed at me with blatant hostility and seemed excited that they were this close to humiliating me successfully.I failed to understand their mindset and wondered if Dawn harbored hard feelings against me for rejecting her when she tried to reconcile with me. Even if that was the case, I still failed to comprehend why Bianca was so excited, even more so than Dawn.Bianca wore an arrogant smile, and her tone revealed the vengeful pleasure she was feeling right now. "You almost duped me before, Gael, and made me believe you were a scion of the Taylor Group. However, I had someone investigate the records and learned that no one called Gael exists among the Taylors!""Heh! You're the first one to have duped me this badly! Do you believe you can pass off as a scion of the Taylors just because you have some money? Your actions are just revolting! The assets you own are nothing compared to those owned by Albert!""You're dumbfounded, aren't you? Dawn begg

Dawn's current attitude was a perfect representation of elitism. She acted as if she were the actual owner of the villa and instructed the manager to let us tour the garden at our leisure, and even cautioned her to not allow us to touch the flowers and plants.Although she spoke calmly, it was hard for her to hide the smug look on her face. She even shot me a look of contempt while she instructed the manager and reveled in the pleasure that she gained from getting to throw her weight around.Bianca also smiled beside her with a smug look on her face. However, Dawn's words ended up stupefying Astrid utterly."Your garden…? Let them look around…? Trespassing…?" Astrid's eyes widened in astonishment as she looked at Dawn, and then at me. She could not make heads or tails out of Dawn's words and stood stupefied there for a moment."I'll have to reconsider whether you are qualified to act as my private villa manager if you can't even understand my

Dawn found it hard to keep up with the fast-paced development of the situation and turned speechless as she witnessed it unfold from start to finish.Albert fled in panic at first, which was then followed by Astrid's shout.A few guards pursued Albert and tackled him to the ground soon after, bringing him back with them, while the other guards surrounded her and Bianca with unfriendly gazes.Dawn's face paled as fear crept up within her. However, she still held on to her wishful thoughts and screamed out, "What are you doing?!""Do you know who my partner is? He's the inheritor of a multinational business, and the owner of Maple Club Estates' Villa #1, you know?! How dare you treat him like that?!""Mark my words when I say that you'll pay a heavy price if you don't release him!"Her hysterical voice echoed through the hill, but she received no response.Astrid and the guards just gazed at her coldly. Their stony gazes even contained aversion withi

"I…" Dawn's face turned ashen as she opened her mouth, but her voice stuck in her throat.Her heart filled with remorse, and she wished to bury her head in the sand, in hopes of atoning for all her past mistakes.She had decided to reconcile with Gael before and even made a series of plans for that. However, Bianca discovered the Taylors didn't have anyone called Gael among them later on, which was inconsistent with their previous conjecture.They had also run into Albert around this time and had completely fallen for the fake persona that he had created.This caused her to give up on reconciling with Gael and made her accept Albert with no reservations. However, she never imagined that her new boyfriend's identity was fake and that he was a complete fraud.On the other hand, Gael, who she had given up on, actually owned a villa in Maple Club Estates!Everyone in Razor City knew what having a villa in Maple Club Estates represented.The 66 v

Screech!I heard the screeching sounds of tires drifting against the street suddenly once I cursed out.The Escalade ahead of me braked and swayed left and right on the street before it stopped after sliding forward three to four meters."It stopped?" I thought, slightly stunned, but I felt anger well up inside me instantly and walked over to it. I wanted to see just who had the nerve to stop the car after splashing water onto me.I sped up my footsteps and arrived beside the Escalade soon. I raised my hand to knock on the window, but it was actually open already, giving me a full view of its interior.The driver also looked out at the same time and locked eyes with me.A woman?However, my eyes widened the moment I saw her, and the fury that filled me almost vanished without a trace. There was only one word that described the woman perfectly, and it was "breathtaking."The woman was around her twenties and had exceptional looks that made it s

I was not in the mood to walk anymore after being splashed by the water and took a cab back to the Marriott Hotel.In the presidential suite, Violet covered her mouth in amazement when she saw the state I was in."What happened, sir? Did you go for a swim in the river?""Stop teasing me or else I won't let you return to work in the afternoon!" I slapped Violet's buttocks moodily and prepared to get into the bathroom for a shower.However, I was not expecting Violet to smile back at me sweetly with an eager expression instead of showing fear. "Oh? How do you plan to do that, sir?"I stopped in my tracks. "You dare to tease me when you've just lost your virginity a few days ago? Have you forgotten who made you beg for it on the bed that day?"Violet turned speechless and her face flushed up as she muttered, "Who was it again, I wonder? I don't know. My memories aren't clear.""Heh." I smirked and pulled her inside the bathroom amidst her alarmed crie

"Phew!" I heaved a sigh of relief and jogged for ten more minutes before finally getting off the treadmill. I smiled at Steve. "Stop flattering me. The Special Forces are an elite group. Everyone there is blessed with an inhumane physique. I'm not on the same level as them."Steve had me lie down on a mat and called my personal masseuse over, who then helped me loosen the knots in my muscles, allowing me to relax.After a super-intensive training session, my muscles had built up a large amount of lactic acid. If I did not undergo a soothing massage, I would end up feeling sore for the next couple of days."So what if they're in the Special Forces? Didn't they all start out as ordinary people? Physique and skills can be obtained through hard work and training. Ultimately, one's willpower is the most important thing!"Steve sat next to me and lamented, "Sir, you really do amaze me. Your willpower is simply extraordinary. Having just watched you overcome your limits

Listening to Violet's introduction of Amber, I was left tongue-tied. She was only 26, only four years older than me; however, she was already the leader of one of the top conglomerates in the world that was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. This whole thing felt unreal."Amber is attending the charity dinner?" I asked."Yes." Violet nodded. "I don't know why Ms. Excell suddenly came to Razor City. The moment she arrived, all of the major corporations in Razor City were sent into chaos. The Excells are one of the most powerful conglomerates, comparable to the Taylors. To the corporations of Razor City, she is an incredibly important person. It's only natural they sent her an invitation to this charity dinner out of courtesy. However, Ms. Excell actually agreeing to attend was outside their expectations. So, although you're the reason today's charity dinner is being held, there will almost certainly be many people who pay more attention to Ms. Excell. After all, no one

Abe was incensed at my audacity, but all of this was already within my expectations.Back in the Bluestone Club, I had heard Abe was a rash bully who loved to get into fights. What he was doing now was just the norm.I looked at him again, maintaining my apathetic expression, not a trace of emotion on my face.The Jones family started out in Razor City's energy industry. Business went quite well for them over the past years. They had built up a conglomerate called the Gold Group whose market value exceeded ten billion dollars. The conglomerate also dabbled in other fields such as media, finance, and technology.Out of the four main powers in Razor City, they ranked somewhere in the middle.This was all information I had learned early on. However, what attracted my interest in the Jones family was not their Gold Group, which had a market value of ten billion, but a company the Jones family had just invested in and gained control over, Blossom Technologies.

The situation escalated. After just two minutes, a gun had been drawn. The people nearby gasped and took a couple steps back subconsciously.It was clear to everyone what was going on. Carl was determined to suck up to the Jones family.Originally, it was just a small conflict. However, when the police intervened, they tried to arrest me by force, escalating the matter first.Then, upon his attempts being thwarted by Steve, Carl even took out his gun and threatened us. The sheer recklessness of his actions could not be expressed in words.When Abe saw a gun being pointed at me, his confidence rose drastically, the sinister smile on his face became more pronounced. "No one has ever disrespected me like that before. You actually slapped me just now. How should I repay you?" Abe suddenly took two steps forward, grinning. He raised his hand slowly, intending to slap me back.Steve frowned and pushed Abe away.Caught off guard, Abe was forced to take several
