Javier Everhart stood frozen in the middle of the ballroom, even though soft music and the clinking of glasses filled the air. It all felt dim and muted in his ears. His eyes stared straight ahead, toward a group of young men who had just laughed while mentioning his name.

Or more precisely—mocking him.

“Did you see his face earlier?” one of them, a man in a dark blue suit, nudged his friend. “Honestly… I thought the Everhart Family had high standards. Turns out all the rumors were true. He’s just a big name without any ability.”

Laughter erupted.

Some of the other guests only glanced briefly, some held back smiles, others acted as if they didn’t hear. But Javier knew: they all heard.

And they intentionally let it happen.

Javier clenched his hand behind his back. The joints in his fingers tightened. His throat felt hot—not from embarrassment, but from anger. Yet he remained silent. His posture remained straight. His gaze remained steady.

    The elevator doors slid open with a quiet chime, and Javier stepped out, hands in his coat pockets, posture relaxed as always. He moved toward the main hallway, intending to attend the inspection Cole had deliberately postponed.But before he could reach the glass doors leading to the operations wing, two security guards stepped in front of him, blocking his path.“Sir, you can’t go in,” the taller one said.Javier lifted his gaze slightly. “And why is that?”The shorter guard scoffed. “Because this area is for employees. Not visitors. Especially not… whoever you are.”People nearby slowed their steps, watching.“I have business here,” Javier replied, voice calm, tone flat.The taller guard snorted. “What business? You selling brochures? Looking for a job? Trying to fix the printer?” He crossed his arms. “This floor is restricted. Move along.”Javier didn’t move.The shorter guard whispered loudly—loud enough for everyone to hear, intentionally. “Dude, maybe he’s one of those people w

    The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and Javier stepped into the empty hallway, hands in his pockets, posture relaxed. The meeting room behind him was still filled with stunned executives, whispering frantically, but he paid them no mind.He walked toward the lobby.Calm.Unhurried.He didn’t need their approval.He didn’t need their respect.He came here for one purpose—and being insulted was part of the process.But the executives weren’t done with him.Especially Cole.Cole burst into the hallway seconds later, face red, breathing heavily as he pointed wildly at Javier’s back.“There! That’s him! Get him OUT of this building!”Two security guards stationed near the corridor turned their heads.The first frowned. “Who? The guy in the suit?”“Yes, HIM!” Cole snapped. “Get him out! Now!”The second guard raised a brow. “We don’t throw out guests unless there’s a reason.”Cole stepped closer, jabbing a finger. “He is NOT a guest. He’s an intruder. A nobody. A parasite who sl

    The evening executive session gathered inside the top-floor conference room—a polished glass space overlooking the city. The table was long, glossy, and filled with people who spoke too loudly because they wanted to sound important.Javier entered quietly.No one noticed him at first.Then Cole saw him.“What the—why is he here?” Cole exclaimed, pointing like Javier was a stray dog that wandered inside.Several executives turned.One frowned. “Is he the janitor?”Another scoffed, “No, janitors dress better.”A woman in a red blazer whispered loudly, “Henderson must be joking. This meeting is for executives. Not… whatever he is.”More laughter.Javier remained silent, hands in his pockets, eyes steady.Henderson walked in behind him, carrying a folder.Yet even that didn’t calm them.“Sir,” Cole said sharply, “I don’t think you understand—he doesn’t belong in a room like this.”Javier took a seat.Calm.Unbothered.He didn’t argue.He didn’t try to defend himself.He simply folded his

    Henderson closed the boardroom door behind them, leaving Cole and the rest of the executives whispering like confused children.“Follow me,” Henderson said, voice low.Javier didn’t comment. He simply walked beside him as if the hallway wasn’t filled with people stopping mid-step just to stare.Some whispered openly.“Why is the CEO talking to him?”“Is he in trouble?”“Maybe Henderson feels sorry for him.”Someone snorted. “He looks like he needs charity, not a private meeting.”Javier ignored all of it.Henderson led him into a smaller conference room and shut the door.“Sit.”Javier took the chair without hesitation.Henderson stayed standing, arms folded, studying him with the cautious curiosity of a man who knew he’d overlooked something important.“How did you know the numbers?” Henderson asked.“I read,” Javier answered simply.Henderson frowned. “Everyone reads. Not everyone understands.”“That’s not my problem,” Javier replied.The CEO let out a dry exhale. “You’re… an intere

    The lobby fell silent when Javier stepped out of the elevator, but the silence wasn’t admiration—far from it.It was the kind of silence reserved for people who didn’t belong. People who were tolerated, not respected.“Look who’s here,” one of the junior executives muttered loudly enough for everyone to hear. “The charity case.”Javier didn’t react. He simply walked forward, his expression unreadable.Behind him, murmurs grew.“Honestly, why is he still allowed in the headquarters?”“He probably slept in the storage room again.”“Can’t he at least dress like a human being?”Javier's shirt was plain, slightly wrinkled from the chaotic morning. His shoes were old—not ruined, but far from polished. He wore nothing that reflected even one percent of the empire he actually owned.And that was exactly why they underestimated him.As he reached the front desk to check the meeting schedule, the receptionist didn’t even look up.“You’re in the wrong building,” she said flatly.“No,” Javier rep

    Javier stepped out of the storage room, dusting his hands as if the act itself could shake off the humiliation. The corridor outside the cafeteria buzzed with chatter—students heading to their afternoon classes.He kept his gaze forward, already used to the looks that followed him. Some curious. Some mocking. None respectful.“Hey, Everhart!”The voice came sharp from the left. Javier stopped. Against his better judgment, he turned.Three boys leaned against a locker—Marcus, Taro, and Finn. The same trio who had made a game out of mocking him since his first day at the academy.Marcus clicked his tongue. “So, the janitor-in-training emerges. Did you finish scrubbing the floors, Everhart?”Javier exhaled slowly. “I told you. I wasn’t scrubbing. I was—”“Organizing the cleaning tools?” Finn cut in, grinning. “That’s literally the same thing.”Taro snorted. “Damn. Imagine coming to an elite academy and still smelling like bleach every day.”A couple of passing students laughed under thei
