Author's point of view... Leo shoved his hands in his pocket but his lips pursed downward as he noticed his mistake. He felt embarrassed to have forgotten the box in the car. Linda had mentioned again and again that the card was a must and should yet he forgot it. "Agh...I just...forgot..." Leo couldn't complete his words as the man before him sneered, "I knew it..." The elegant smile on his face turned into a disdainful smirk immediately and he crossed his arms across his chest. "Security..." he called out, ironically. Bran looked at the young man with a knowing look. It wasn't his first time to deal with a young man like him, he had dealt with many of his kind before. Bran concluded, that Leo obviously didn't have an entry card with him. According to Bran, Leo was just one of those who bragged about having a club card before their friends and girlfriends. Bran sighed in irritation, he just wanted to get Leo out of the club as quickly as possible. As the security guards arrived
Author's point of view... The moment Leo heard Jack's voice, he felt his blood started boiling in his body. He was never a man of anger but Jack was one of those who could make a decent person into a beast in no time. Every inch of him was fuming in anger. He instantly recalled the past. It was his first day as a cleaner when he first met Jack outside the canteen. Though Jack was just an assistant manager at that time, he had very cruel behavior towards his subordinates, especially Leo. He noticed that the new cleaner was a talk of attention among the ladies in the office and just to come to terms with his jealousy, he was in search of a chance to beat Leo out of shape. Just because Leo stumbled upon him, Jack and his friends had beaten Leo up so brutally. That was just the beginning. After that incident, Leo became a tool for their enjoyment. A plaything.They beat him up as they pleased, and tortured him every time. It was not that Leo couldn't fight back but his financial probl
Author's point of view...After Jack left, Linda didn't wait any longer and took out the card to show it to the manager and formally introduced him."Meet Mr Leonard Connell, the CEO of Longsfire Corporation," Linda said as she extended her hand toward Leo, the manager dropped his jaw in shock. "I think it's all clear now, isn't it?" Alvin said, pursing his lips, a sly smile emerging. The manager then took the black card to see. His hands trembled. While he was still looking at the card in disbelief, Leo crossed his hands over his chest and asked, "Am I allowed to enter now?"At first glance, the plain black card didn't look very impressive. It really did look like a basic plastic room card from a normal hotel room but the authoritative letters engraved on it could make one's mind stir."Partnership card" It wasn't any membership card but a partnership card, given to the only largest shareholder.The manager lifted his head and stared at Leo and then at the card more clearly.His eye

Jack will be announced as the General Manager of the Diamond Oracle.The ladies next to him were overjoyed as he shared the news with them and were here to celebrate his promotion.In the supreme hall, the atmosphere turned cold as the members of the family started discussing the thing that had just been revealed to them."Could it be true?" "So the young master is an imposter? What a shame..." "I heard he worked as a janitor in Dave's office. Is that true?"Many people have many perspectives but none could detour Leo.He just sat there rubbing his chin. He wasn't terrified as he knew better than anyone else that though the accusation was correct, the old man didn't have any eviden
Author's point of view...The moment Jack Davinson saw the chair turning towards him, he bowed in respect before greeting the chairwoman's son, the real heir of the Longsfire Corporation. But as he lifted his head to see the young man's face, he froze.Leo...!What the hell is happening?Though he was shocked, there was not even a single doubt in his head that the young man could really be the heir. Instead, he was sure that Leo might be conning these people and he had his chance coming.A smirk tugged on his face and one of the corners of his lips twitched.Now that he was called here to meet everyone in the family, he thought that he could gain his place in the company by letting the cheater get caught. He narrowed his eyes at Leo. "Leo...! What the hell are you doing here?" Jack furiously barked. Everyone in the supreme hall was shocked to see Jack's rude temperament. Being just a candidate for GM in one of the small companies under Longsfire Corporation, Jack was actually shoutin
Author's point of view...As the video was seen, a heavy silence hung in the air, Linda, Margaret, and the rest of the family members exchanged incredulous glances. Soon the silence turned into a roar of chirping. The gravity of the situation sank in, and their expressions shifted from shock to anger.Leo still sat casually. He didn't have the slightest change of expression on his face. All he was thinking was about Jack. What the hell was this man thinking about? Leo couldn't understand what he must call Jack, an idiot or a fool. He truly knows to stab himself without mercy.Jack raised his head proudly and boosted,"See, I wasn't lying...! You guys were deceived by him. He was indeed a janitor in Diamond Oracle a few months back and was also a wanted criminal..." However, he couldn't continue as someone interrupted him before he could finish speaking.Margaret's face reddened with rage as she moved forward and smacked Jack across the cheek with her palm. "You Bastard. How dare y
"Darling...! You promised me a thrilling adventure at The Diamond Wars today...!" Lily, a woman of irresistible charm, pouted seductively into her phone. However, her excitement abruptly shattered when the call ended abruptly, crashing to the ground like a broken dream. Cursing under her breath, Lily entered the partially closed door, revealing a man standing before her. She took a deep breath and strode forward, her gaze fixed on Leo, her raised eyebrows betraying her anger and offense. Unaware of the commotion behind him, Leo stood tall at his desk, diligently engaged in his cleaning duties. His hands moved skillfully, though blindly, as he meticulously worked to maintain the office's pristine appearance. "Hey...!" Lily finally yelled, her voice piercing the air and capturing the attention of the young man. It was Leo's well-deserved lunch break, a precious time for him to find solace in his work. Yet, in his role as a cleaner, he often faced unique challenges, including unwarran
In a desperate state, Leo shoved his hands in his pocket to find something sharp poking him and a hint of hope bloomed in him. As a cleaner, he had the keys to the storeroom, at least his job helped him with that. As adrenaline pumped through his veins, Leo scanned the next room for any possible means of escape. His eyes fell upon a small, narrow window, offering a glimmer of hope in the darkness. Pushing aside his fear and pain, he summoned every ounce of strength and resolve to pry it open. As the window creaked open, Leo felt a rush of anticipation. He squeezed through the tight opening, his body contorting to fit the narrow passage. The cool air kissed his face, a brief respite from the suffocating atmosphere he had left behind. One of the employees, Jake, couldn't bear to see him escape. "Hey, get him, he is running away...." he yelled calling the security and asking them to catch Leo.Security started looking for him everywhere. With the hard-earned freedom beckoning him, Leo
