“This cilantro… should it be chopped, Lisa?” Gisele turned to Lisa. Her eyebrows rose and her forehead furrowed, hoping for a straightforward and clear answer. Her hand holding the knife began to sweat. Her experiences in the kitchen always made her hesitant.

Calmly, Lisa nodded. “Yes, chop it into small pieces and add it to the soup.”

Unlike Lisa, who was an expert cook, Gisele used to eat junk food back when she was living on the streets. For someone like her, the kitchen wasn’t a pleasant pl

    Regina looked at Cindy with wide eyes. Then she said gently, “Cindy, he’s not your father.”A little embarrassed, she glanced at Leo. She smiled hesitantly. “Forgive Cindy, Leo. She sometimes doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”Leo nodded. “It’s okay.”Leo’s gaze was fixed on the street, but his mind was elsewhere. He was trying to figure out what to do with Regina next. “Regina has become one of my sources of income. However, I can’t buy her anything when she’s busy working,” he thought, furrowing his brow.Shortly afterward, the sound of a system notification rang out.[Connection chain!][You’ve acquired Regina Wayne as one of your women. Regina has a special condition: if you spend money on Cindy Wayne, it will count as money spent by Regina Wayne.]The notification made Leo smile to himself. He’d finally managed to get money from this little lady after all. “So that’s how it is. Helping Cindy was definitely the right choice!” Leo thought with a small smile.The little girl

    Leo’s car was already parked in front of an affordable apartment building. He had come here because he’d agreed to Regina’s request to drive her to work today. Of course, Leo was happy to do it. In fact, Leo intended to do more than that.“This will be a great start. I’ll be nice to Regina and Cindy,” Leo said with a slight smile inside the car.The presence of a Porsche in front of the apartment building certainly caused a bit of a stir in the neighborhood. Especially when they saw a handsome man step out of it. They began whispering to each other about who Leo was.“Is he a celebrity?”“A celebrity? No. I think he’s a businessman. But why would he come to a run-down place like this?”Even though they were whispering, Leo could still hear them, because his senses had become sharper since he took the pill from the system. He could only smile slightly as the people there speculated about who he was. Leo felt how different it was to have a body and appearance like he did now compared to

    “We can’t take in one more person in this house, Leo. Look, this isn’t a shelter.” Gisele said this in a slightly raised voice.Lisa nodded slowly. “Isn’t there a limit to what we can do, Leo? We can’t take him in.”Leo, however, smiled slightly while furrowing his brow. “Why are you making such a big deal out of this?”“It’s because—” Gisele’s words trailed off. She couldn’t think of a single reason. Neither could Lisa.They looked down, at a loss for what to say. In the end, they didn’t understand what they were feeling. Their faces turned red.Leo, who had noticed this, smiled slightly. He knew they were actually jealous. There was no denying it—Leo felt happy that two women as beautiful as models had feelings for him. After all, in the past, he’d often been taken advantage of by his ex-girlfriends.“Relax, I don’t have any bad intentions. Not toward you two, and not toward Regina either.”Leo then walked past the two of them. Gisele and Lisa couldn’t say a word in response. They

    Leo drove home with a smile on his face—unlike Rico and Jane. Leo never expected something this good to happen to him. His mission had even gone exceptionally well. He couldn’t contain his joy when he saw the amount of money in his account. It had already surpassed 200 million dollars.Leo whistled a long tune. His heart was bursting with joy. “This is amazing… even spoiling the girls for a whole year wouldn’t earn me this much. This mission is absolutely crazy!”Who would have thought that the mission to find a job for Regina would actually lead Leo to meet someone as remarkable as Adam. Leo became motivated to become as successful as him.“Even though he’s been a bit of a failure at raising his niece, Mr. Adam can make a difference for millions of people around the world. Plus, he’s incredibly wealthy. Having connections like his could be a real asset!”After a fairly long journey, Leo finally returned to his home in the Gourmet district. He was sure the girls had already come back

    “Huh?” Rico stared wide-eyed at Leo. “How can you say a bum like this is smart in business? Hey, bum! What do you do for a living?”Rico asked in a raised voice. His eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out. However, that didn’t intimidate Leo at all. To Leo, Rico was just an immature person. Dealing with someone who still has the mentality of a child like this requires a calm demeanor.Leo gave a faint smile. “I don’t work.”Rico immediately slammed his fist on the table. “See! He doesn’t work at all! He’s just a bum. Are you sure he’s someone with business acumen, Uncle? He’s just trash, Uncle!”Adam folded his arms and leaned back on the sofa. He gave a faint smile, raising one eyebrow as he glanced at Rico and Jane. “It’s precisely because I know you two so well that I can assure you Leo is smarter in business than you are.”Jane furrowed her brow. She shifted in her seat because this accusation was starting to make her uncomfortable. “What do you mean, Uncle? We always turn

    Hearing Leo’s words, everyone in the room suddenly fell silent. Rico immediately cleared his throat.“Just ignore him, Uncle. Listen to me. This is going to be very promising for us. With Ravencastle Inc., we’ll be able to distribute it without any problems. That company is under your umbrella, right, Uncle? So you’ll also enjoy a share of the profits.”Jane smiled sweetly as she held Adam’s hand. “Rico’s right, Uncle. This is a very rare opportunity! For a long time, the canned fish market has been dominated by rival companies. If we enter the market, I can guarantee they’ll go under. Then you’ll be able to realize your dream through our company. Isn’t that a win-win situation?”Rico and Jane tried to steer the conversation back to their business plans. They hoped their uncle would quickly provide the funds to build a factory for them. However, his attention was instead focused on Leo.Adam’s eyes never left Leo, as his earlier remarks had caught his attention more than those of Rico
