Chapter 201: What?
"Did he report you?" A new girl chimed in. "Did management call?"One of the men present shook his head sympathetically. "Grace, I told you yesterday that your job was finished."Another employee nodded. "Honestly, I thought the same thing,” he said with certainty and panned at Grace, who was still caught off guard by the outcome of her earlier conversation. She had come across several people ranging from celebrities, politicians, and famous influential individuals but never a billionaire with such humility and calmness.“He wants me to get breakfast in his name, get some rest,” she finally replied and the group, who had already been muttering several assumptions, felt their lips drop down in surprise. Several staff exchanged a confused gaze before staring back at her.“He wants you to do what?” A girl stumbled forward, tilting her head to scan Grace's face."He wants me to have breakfast before getting some rest. If not he will be mad,” she added.The group exchanged bewildered look
Chapter 200: Next Morning
From the upper floors of the towering skyscraper that housed Ryan's penthouse, dawn always came earlier than it did for the rest of the city.Long before sunlight reached the crowded streets below, the first rays of morning had already spilled across the horizon, painting the sky in shades of blue and silver. Thin clouds drifted lazily overhead, while countless glass towers reflected the newborn light.Ryan, who had been awake, stood in front of her enormous, transparent wall, adjusting his tie with his hands. For a moment the city slowly blurred out, and all that remained was the reflection of a young man staring back at him, making a strange feeling settle in his chest.His eyes lingered on his reflection, and for a moment he could say, "Once upon a time, a smile had been permanent on his face. Back then, life had been simpler." He had once laughed more and trusted easily, and his world had been much smaller. Now, he looked at life with caution, with the carefree spirit that had on
Chapter 199: Compensation
He heaved a deep sigh. “Moving forward. “You shouldn't have the hotel staff that handles that,” he added. Jullinna nodded her head. "I... I wanted to do it myself; it's the least I could do for causing such troubles,” she replied. Ryan studied her for several seconds. There was something about the way she spoke that made him realise she wasn't simply trying to be helpful but was trying to repay a debt. "You're not responsible for your stepmother's or brother's actions,” he muttered. 'And definitely you don't owe me anything,” he added. Julianna looked at him but allowed silence to linger through the room. Across the kitchen space, Ryan moved his gaze to the refrigerator. She followed him with her eyes, and Ryan opened the refrigerator, and his hand stopped with the door ajar. The refrigerator was completely stocked with water, juices, fresh vegetables, and other stuff he remembered wasn't there before. "Did you do this?" He asked, genuinely curious, and Julianna slowly nodded

Chapter 197: A Clear City
What?!” The woman yelled, snapping her head to Ryan. “B… But I did as you asked!” She shrieked, crawling backwards as if that would somehow stop the men. The two security men reached for her arm, struggling to maintain their grip. The judge, who couldn't believe what was going on, shook his head with tears clouding his face. “P… Please, you can't do this,” he stuttered. Ryan ignored their protest and watched as the security men dragged them out towards the entrance. Hearing the screams of her stepmother and brother, Jullinma narrowed her eyes in surprise at Ryan. “M…Mr Wright, you said you would let them go,” she whispers. Ryan nodded. “I did but not after a day or two in a closed bar,” he muttered, walking away. At this moment, the fatigue of the day was slowly catching up to him. Without any more words, he pulled out his own key and moved into the interior of the penthouse. Across New City, dusk lurked on the horizon, covering the city with a soft golden glow. On the upper flo
Chapter 196: Apologize
He turned to the other figure, his expression calm as ever. “I will forgive you,” he said.“What! You will?!” The figures asked in unison. Hope appeared on their faces, and it was almost pathetic. The woman quickly nodded. "Thank you,” she said, staring at her son in relief.Ryan raised one finger. "But there's a condition."The woman's smile disappeared instantly, forcing a lump down her throat. "What condition?”Ryan smiled. “I will forget you invading my privacy and illegally using my own house if you kneel and beg Julianna for forgiveness,” he said.A brief silence lingered through the room, and both mother and son stared at each other in shock. Neither seemed capable of processing what they had just heard, making Ryan wait patiently.When the woman finally turned towards him. "Y…you want me to what?" She asked with a furrowed brow."Kneel, and apologise to your stepdaughter," he repeated. Her face reddened, with disbelief washing over her face like she had heard the most insult
