"I'm sure! Then to be sure, you should immediately find out his background," said Mr. Jeremy.

"Yes, sir, I will find out everything about Nathan," replied Jhon firmly.

Jeremy smiled with relief; he was happy to meet his grandson.

"Yes, I hope he really is my grandson," Jeremy hoped.

He was getting old, no longer able to continue his business. So Jeremy hoped he would find his grandson, who was his only hope to continue his fast-growing business.

Meanwhile, Nathan was touched by the warm welcome from Jeremy's grandfather's family. He feels that maybe this is the place that will give him a new chance to start his life anew.

Nathan sat on the comfy bed in the room provided for him. He thought about everything that had happened in this short time. He felt like he was in a dream, but he knew that this was reality.

Nathan smiled, feeling lucky for the opportunity he had been given. Even though he didn't know the reason why he was invited to live in this luxurious mansion. Whatever it was, Nathan promised himself not to waste it if this was the opportunity for him. Nathan would fight hard to achieve success, not only for himself, but also to prove to the people who had belittled and abandoned him that he could be someone great.

"World, I'm going to show you that Nathan Moreno isn't useless. I'm going to be successful, and I'm going to prove it to all of them," Nathan whispered, smiling proudly to himself.

***.

Jhon came to see Mr. Jeremy with a report on Nathan Moreno's background. Jeremy listened seriously, his eyes shining as he heard the information.

"I was right," Jeremy said in a stammered voice. "Nathan is indeed my grandson."

Jhon was dumbfounded by Jeremy's confession. "Really, sir? What should we do now?" asked Jhon.

Jeremy thought for a moment before answering, "We must be careful. Nathan must not know the truth, at least for now. I want to give him a chance to live without the burden of his past."

Jhon nodded, "I understand, sir. I will keep this secret well."

Jeremy smiled with satisfaction, "Good. Now, I want you to teach Nathan about business. I want him to have enough knowledge and skills to build his own future."

Jhon agreed to the request, "Of course, Sir. I will do it to the best of my ability."

"But before that, you change Nathan's appearance, Jhon."

"Yes, sir! I will prepare everything that young master Nathan Moreno needs."

Afterwards, they both discussed further plans on how to assist Nathan in starting his new journey. Jeremy really hoped that Nathan could become a successful and happy person, even though Nathan himself did not know that he was actually related to Jeremy.

"Jhon, now you call Nathan here," Mr. Jeremy ordered.

Jhon nodded.

Then, Jhon called Nathan, asking him to meet Mr. Jeremy. A curious Nathan followed Jhon into Jeremy's study.

"What is it, Grandpa?" asked Nathan as he entered Jeremy's office.

Jeremy smiled kindly, "Nathan, I want you to learn about business. I want you to be able to continue my business someday," Jeremy pleaded.

Nathan was surprised by the request. "I'm sorry, Grandpa, but why do you want me to continue your business? I'm nobody, I'm just someone who happened to help you, nothing more. Aren't there others who are more experienced? As for me, I'm not experienced at all, Grandpa! You'd better think carefully."

Jeremy smiled, "I see great potential in you, Nathan. You have the passion and desire to succeed. Especially after I heard your story earlier."

Yes, Nathan had been talking about his personal problems. Mr. Jeremy had started the conversation to get Nathan to open up, hoping that he could pry into Nathan's background.

"I'm sure you can be a great person in this business," Grandpa Jeremy continued.

Nathan was touched by Jeremy's trust. "Thank you, Grandpa. But I feel reluctant," Nathan said, hesitant to accept the old man's request.

"Come on, Nathan. I'm old, I don't have the strength to continue this business. I want to rest and enjoy my old age," Jeremy's grandfather coaxed.

Nathan sighed deeply; he couldn't bear to refuse the old man's wishes. Nathan thought for a moment, isn't this a great opportunity? Nathan smiled slightly. "Yes, Grandpa. Nathan wants to continue your business. And I'll do my best. If you trust me to continue your business."

Jeremy nodded with satisfaction, "Well, starting tomorrow you will learn on the job. Jhon will teach you everything you need to know about business."

Nathan was excited about this opportunity. He was ready to learn and prove that he could be someone successful, not only for himself but also for Jeremy, who had given him this opportunity.

"Don't let me down, Nathan. You are my only hope."

"Yes, Grandpa, Nathan will try his best," Nathan replied firmly.

After the meeting was over, Nathan met with Jhon outside the room. "So, what are we going to learn today?" asked Nathan enthusiastically.

John smiled, "We'll start by getting to know the ins and outs of the business. I'll introduce you to the different aspects of the business, from management to marketing. But before that, I'm going to change your appearance, Young Master," said Jhon. He was going to start getting into the habit of calling Nathan, YOUNG MASTER.

Nathan nodded in understanding, ready to absorb all the knowledge that John would teach him. He was happy to learn from someone as experienced as Jhon.

"But... Jhon," Nathan said hesitantly.

"Why else, young master? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate, I'll help you if I can," said Jhon.

"Can you take me to the city of Manhattan?" said Nathan hesitantly.

"What for, Mr. Nathan?" asked Jhon, curious as to why Nathan wanted to return to the city.

"To file my divorce papers with my ex-wife," Nathan replied firmly.

"Oh well, Young Master Nathan. I will prepare everything. It just so happens that in that town Mr. Jeremy has a top lawyer acquaintance. Later, we can ask for his help."

"Okay, Jhon, but if possible without a trial," Nathan said later.

"Yes, that can be arranged."

The two of them then began their study session. Nathan was very enthusiastic about learning, and Jhon was happy to see Nathan's enthusiasm.

After that, Jhon helped Nathan change his appearance to make him look like a billionaire. Then, Jhon would provide a black luxury sports car for Nathan as ordered by Mr. Jeremy. So, before Nathan returned to Manhattan, he had to change his appearance first. Nathan looked at himself in the mirror; he didn't recognize himself.

"Wow, you look amazing, Nathan!" praised Jhon as he looked at Nathan's new look with a satisfied smile.

"It's true what John said, you're very handsome, Nathan," Jeremy's grandfather continued, complimenting his grandson's new look.

Nathan turned his body around, examining every detail of his appearance. With his elegant suit, neat white shirt, and black tie perfectly wrapped around his neck, Nathan did look like a successful businessman.

"Thank you, Grandpa, and also Jhon. I can't even believe it's me in the mirror," Nathan said with a big smile.

Jeremy's grandfather smiled proudly, "You deserve to look like this, Nathan. Believe me, appearance is very important in the business world."

"Yes, Grandpa," said Nathan, smiling. He still couldn't believe the drastic change in his life.

Once satisfied with his appearance, Nathan and Jhon left the room. Outside, a black luxury sports car was waiting for them.

"Wow, this car is really cool, Jhon!" said Nathan enthusiastically.

Jhon just smiled, "This is a small gift from Mr. Jeremy for you, Nathan. He wants you to feel comfortable and confident when you return to the city." John patted Nathan on the shoulder, "You need to make your trashy ex-wife crazy about you," Jhon whispered.

"Ah, you are! But... interesting too," Nathan said with a mysterious smile.

Nathan was really touched by Mr. Jeremy's attention. He felt lucky to have someone like Jeremy and Jhon as mentors and support in his life.

After boarding the car, Nathan drove carefully towards the city of Manhattan. He felt a little tense but also very excited about the new opportunities that awaited him there.

Nathan paused to stare at himself in the rearview mirror. He felt like he was seeing a stranger, someone far different from the Nathan Moreno of old.

He examined his handsome face, with dark brown hair neatly combed to the side. His eyes were blue, with a strong flash of intelligence and determination behind them. His nose was upright, and his mouth formed a confident smile that made him look charming.

"Jhon, I really don't recognize myself," Nathan murmured, amazed at the transformation that had taken place.

Jhon nodded, "You look like a successful man, Nathan. Believe me, looks are the key to unlocking the doors of success. Not only that, be prepared because you will be chased by women, haha," said Jhon.

Nathan smiled, "You've got it made, Jhon. I'm very lucky to have you as a friend and mentor. One more thing, I'm not going to think about women for now. I need to focus on Grandpa Jeremy's business, and also focus on my goals," Nathan said.

Jhon smiled proudly, "Way to go, Nathan. Now, let's get to your ex-wife's town and prove to her, to your ex-in-laws, and to the world that you are a great man."

Fired up, Nathan sped off toward Manhattan. He was ready to take on new challenges and prove his worth as a successful entrepreneur.

"Actually, I'm still curious. What was the reason Grandpa Jeremy wanted me to continue his business?" Nathan muttered to himself.

Nathan couldn't shake his curiosity about why Mr. Jeremy had chosen him to continue his business. What made Jeremy believe in him? Was there something that Nathan didn't know about himself and his relationship with Jeremy?

"Ah, I don't know... I'd better just focus. This is a good opportunity for me."

    A month had passed, Nathan stood in front of the window of his office, looking out at the glittering city that was now mostly colored by his business. He had proven himself. No more insults, no more dismissive looks. Where once he was just an ordinary, underrated man, he was now one of the most influential businessmen in the country. His restaurants are thriving, with branches in various cities. Not only that, but he also built an orphanage for abandoned children, a tribute to his past spent in an orphanage before it was demolished in favor of a luxury mall. There was a knock on his door, and Jhon walked in with a big smile. "Young Master Nathan, the media wants an interview. They want to know about your restaurant expansion plans and charity projects." Nathan nodded. "Prepare the place. I'll give a statement after lunch." Jhon nodded quickly, but before exiting, he added, "Oh, there's someone who wants to see you." Nathan looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Who?" Jhon

    Nathan arrived at the psychiatric hospital where Natalie was being treated. He saw her sitting in the garden of the hospital, her face thinner, her eyes dull, but still holding the stubborn look he had always known. When Natalie saw him, tears welled up in her eyes. "You came..."Nathan sat beside her, arms crossed. "What are you doing, Nat? Why did you throw your life away for me?"Natalie smiled slightly. "Because I love you, Nathan. I've always loved you." Nathan sighed, looking at her seriously. "Look, I don't want you to destroy yourself just because of me.""I don't care!" Natalie cut in immediately. "I'd rather lose everything than lose you!"Nathan paused. Those words reminded him of someone-his mother. A woman who had struggled alone, losing everything for a man who never appreciated her. "You need to go back to your family," Nathan said finally. "They love you, Natalie. Don't repeat my mother's mistakes."Tears fell down Natalie's cheeks. "I can't..." her voice was sof

The media was all over the scandal, digging up the past that they had managed to hide. At a fancy restaurant, Nathan sat with a cup of coffee in front of him. He enjoys the view of the city through the large windows. Meanwhile, on his phone screen, the news about Miranda's family was still a hot topic. "Famous Businessman Stumbles Over Old Scandal: How Did He Get Away With It?" Nathan smiled slightly. Just then, his phone vibrated. The name on the screen made him snort softly-Miranda. He picked it up without a moment's hesitation. "What's wrong?" she asked calmly. "Nathan, we need to talk," Miranda's voice sounded weak, a far cry from her usual superior tone. "About what, about how you and your family are now a laughing stock everywhere?"Miranda let out a long breath. "I know you did this. You brought me down, Nathan. Please, can we meet and talk?"

Why is Natalie's father so angry with me? Is there something going on with Natalie that I don't know about?" Nathan said to himself. The man seemed to be getting angrier, he couldn't calm his temper."You! Don't pretend you don't know! Where is Natalie? Where are you hiding her?" Natalie's father shouted, pointing at Nathan with his index finger.Nathan was getting confused, "Uncle, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Natalie? I do

Louis continued to grumble.Soon, he heard footsteps in front of his cell, he immediately turned his head."Miranda, Kenzo, Grey," Louis said in a weak tone.

    "What's wrong with you again, darling?" asked Miranda, who had just arrived after Nathan, her ex-husband, had left. "Nathan was just here, Miranda. He still wants to buy this restaurant! I will never sell this restaurant to him," said Kenzo. "Yes, my husband. You don't have to sell your restaurant. It just so happens that my business is booming, so I'll give you some capital. I hope it helps," said Miranda, who immediately handed Kenzo a brown envelope. "Really, is this capital for me?" Kenzo still couldn't believe he was getting help from his wife. "Yes, it is.
