Chapter Ten
The next morning, the sun rose quietly over the city. A soft breeze blew through the open window of a tall building where Grey stood, looking out at the busy streets below.He wore a sharp black suit, freshly ironed and neatly buttoned. His shoes were polished, his watch was shining, and his hair was carefully combed. He looked like a completely different man from the poor janitor people once mocked.Today, he was the boss.He turned away from the window and picked up his briefcase. His phone rang.A message came in from Mr. Liang, the man who helped him quietly buy the company through a secret investment group.“Everything is ready, sir. The staff are waiting for your arrival. Your private office is fully arranged. Welcome to your new company.”Grey gave a small smile. He replied with a simple: “On my way.”He stepped into the elevator of his high-rise apartment. The car waiting outside was not the old delivery bike he used to ride, but a black limited edition sedan with tinted windo
Chapter Nine
After the meeting party was over, the guests all left one by one, leaving the hall empty. The lights were turned off but the Nicole family stayed behind. They sat around the long table in silence.The shame from what had happened was heavy on their shoulders. No one wanted to speak. Even the air felt tense and stiff.Grandma sat at the head of the table with her arms crossed tightly and her face looked tired and wrinkled.Sonia sat quietly beside her mother, her hands in her lap. She hadn’t said a word since Grey left the building.The family’s biggest secret was now out. They had forged documents, stolen land, delayed payments, and tricked their business partners.And now, the punishment has come. They were facing court charges, their accounts were frozen, and their biggest real estate project had been seized.“This is all because of that bastard Grey,” one of the uncles said, breaking the silence.“He must have planned this. There’s no way everything fell apart today by coincidence,
Chapter Eight
The hall was still noisy with whispers after Grey refused Madam Chen’s offer. Some were shocked while the majority didn’t believe what they just saw.How could he turn down a woman like that?But Grey’s face was calm regardless, it made people unsure again. Maybe this man really wasn’t poor or was mentally unstable.Madam Chen gave him a mysterious smile and nodded slowly. “I understand. You have your pride. That’s good.” She said gently, then turned around and walked back to her seat without saying another word.People looked at her, then at Grey, and couldn’t make sense of anything anymore.But before the crowd could settle, a man in a dark blue suit entered the hall from the side entrance. He looked serious and walked straight toward the center of the room without greeting anyone.A few security men followed him.He carried a brown folder in his hand and stopped in front of the Nicole family table.“Who are you?” Grandma asked sharply.The man responded calmly. “My name is Mr. Loui
Chapter Seven
Mr. Bobby was still on the ground, his face swollen and red from the one hundred slaps he gave himself. He looked miserable and weak, just sitting there with no strength to get up.Grey stood a few feet away, calm and without emotion, as if nothing had happened.Slowly, Bobby looked up at him with tired eyes. He tried to speak, but his lips were swollen. After a few tries, he managed to get the words out.“Grey… please… forgive me… I didn’t know…” His voice was low and shaking.He struggled to get on his knees again, then bent forward and bowed deeply toward Grey. “Please… I don’t know what I did to offend you, but I beg you now. Help me get my job back. Please…”Gasps came from some family members. They were shocked.Was Mr. Bobby now begging Grey?Wasn’t he the same proud CEO just minutes ago?Grandma’s face changed and her proud smile slowly faded. She turned her eyes to Grey and stared at him.Sonia looked between them feeling confused and uneasy.Bobby kept begging. “If you can h
Chapter Six
Grey stood still, watching everything in silence. The hall was filled with laughter and mockery. Sonia’s family members were smiling and whispering among themselves.Mr. Bobby had just finished giving a proud speech about how he would help the Nicole family secure a business deal through his company and everyone clapped and cheered for him.When he was done, Grey slowly stepped forward into the middle of the room, causing the noise to fade gradually.Everyone turned toward him.“What now?” Grandma asked with a frown.Grey looked straight at Mr. Bobby. “You said you’re going to help this family get a deal through your company?” Grey asked plainly.Bobby scoffed. “Is that a question? Of course. Unlike you, I’m successful. I have connections and influence. I can open doors you never even knew existed.”Grey nodded slowly and brought out his phone from his pocket. “Unfortunately for you, I just received a different piece of information.”He raised his phone, swiped through it, and opened
Chapter Five
Grey pointed at Mr. Bobby who had just entered the room and walked confidently to stand beside Sonia. His eyes narrowed as anger surged in his chest. He could barely hold himself back.“That’s him,” Grey said, his voice cold and clear. “That’s the man Sonia was cheating on me with in her office.”Everyone’s head turned sharply, and even Grandma’s eyes widened.Mr Bobby glanced sideways at Sonia, clearly shocked.The whole room fell quiet. People looked at the pair, mouths open in surprise. Some guests exchanged looks, others whispered to each other.Sonia’s cousin couldn’t help the little smirk curling on her lips.Grandma cleared her throat. “Sonia,” she said slowly. “Is this true?”Sonia quickly shook her head, trembling as she spoke. “No, Grandma! He’s lying! He wants to disgrace me. He’s just trying to ruin me after cheating on me himself.”Mr Bobby looked at Sonia, then stepped forward and raised his hands slightly. “Wait, what’s going on here? Sonia, what are they talking about?
